tbh itās ok if u donāt like the troupe. I mean itās like a tale, old as time. if we think about its the…
Donāt worry haha, believe me Iām holding myself to not do an essay.
Yeah, I do agree with that, if your not someone who knows what you want as canāt differentiate between āa possibility or what I can doā then this type of series wouldnāt be all that good for younger audience. But, if done right (showing the struggle of having many differences by the year gap) it can be a good insight for some.
For me and many others gays (I hope to be right lol) age gap is just that a number, It can be a fetish for only sexual reasons, it can be a really strong attraction for older and mature people (vice versa for younger). At the end of the day most of us know the risks even the younger generation (not the ignorants). Put it this way, some donāt think about future risks in love, when we donāt get pregnant and we stick stuff where biologically we shouldnāt šš, and for those that want just some easy-going life, they wonāt torture themselfs looking for stress. The ppl tht do end up hurt by it most likely didnāt reach out or ppl around them didnāt what to help, and it is sad tbh but again, one start with themselves then u go out and explore.
Sorry if I sound harsh but based on my experience, those who know āignorance is a blissā and who ever falls for it, needs to get up and go, itās part of life, it may hurt but is not gonna be the end of someone.
tbh itās ok if u donāt like the troupe. I mean itās like a tale, old as time. if we think about its the…
Ngl, props to you. Iāve havenāt seen a coment so well made and vocalize in this way, Iām gagged tbh. šš
But yeah I understand your POV, and itās fair and just. Me, myself, as a gay male I do not find it weird the whole trope of the age gap (obviously legal, unless is a historical thing, then it āmightā get a pass, bc Iām a sucker for realism). And I find it a bit more interesting and realistic bc of what you said, sometimes the younger one wants to feel taken care off, provided or just have someone they can rely on for more drastic things. And thatās completely normal for the human psyche, tho there are times when the older one need to rely on the younger ones way of thinking and keep up with times so they donāt get bored. I see it as a balancing factor.
Yes, if you think about the future and how would it affect them, it may be sad. But remember we ourselves choose that or any path because we want to. For you may be sad, for others may be a blessing. Iām hella open minded about anything and everything most of the time, I jus accept what is in front of me and flow with it, it may not be something I like but I can see what is worth for others, and putting myself in their choose, well that would feel incredible.
Btw I hope I donāt sound rude or offensive š Iām kinda straightforward for this kind of things. But I really liked how u expressed yourself on your point. š«°š»
is age gap a fetish thing? genuienly asking, like is this a thing in the BL audience? I'm not into age gap in…
tbh itās ok if u donāt like the troupe.
I mean itās like a tale, old as time. if we think about its the same as history itself, younger women marrying older men for status, power, comfort, etc. and some novels, soap- operas, smut lectures, have always had an age gap, can be small of big and all depends of the younger person age at the end of the day.
Can be fantasy or a fetish ? yes, but, It can be real too, tbh the best example I can give u is one of my friends partner is almost double his age, im 26 so u can do the math.
You FINISHED ep 10??? Ep 8 hasnt even aired yet, How did you watch 3 eps ahead of everyone else?
ah wait, sorry, yes!!! šš my bad! I meant EP 7 THANKS for letting me know, between series, episodes, ratings and stuff thereās always a lot numbers in my head.
-The Grandmother, the way she clocked Rin šš
-Rin & his Mother, ppl might say she isnāt a great mom being far away and such, bus as a mother she knew and we saw it in the little expressions Rin needed that ILY. and it made me cry a river out of nowhere.
-The plotwist of Rinās Father (I hope this the reveal bc if the mention it befor Iām so cooked š Believe me I pay attention šš)
I just finished ep.7 and Gawd the Writers having a blast watching us have moments of Doubts with Mochi&Krit just to slap us in the face and remind us why they are so much hated (or disliked⦠hate is a sting word for me).
But the only think I would say that is hurting this series is actually the story of the second couple⦠tbh is it was messier I think my rating wouldnāt go so low in some aspects of the series, bc it would be more realistic I think, plus thereās no need for redemption but if the first interactions were a bit more tamed I would think it wasrather well made.
But for me I think they are reaching too much, I donāt even the ppl tht like heavy Toxic relationships would say this a goo way of representing it.
Again this my Opinion, I would rate it higher but the second couple (more the representation of them and their story) is holding back the entire series. And I do judge a series as a whole.
the ending of episode 4 had me sinking into my chair, oscillating between screaming at the screen and holding…
yes! this epi really made me question if āitās so good that it hurts, or it hurt that itās so goodā.š and u know the tension between all of them are high when the all look they about to cry when they talk about something that icks in them.
so⦠eps 4 happend and Iām done I canāt watch another episode today, Iām taking my time with this drama and by GAWD ABOVE where did take this actors from ?!!! Like Lee, Pi-o, the mother, & the grandfather are killing it. This is one of the few dramas I had the āickā for the raw emotions they present, but in a good way. The way I have to breath and not feel overwhelmed with everything they present and u know but the other donāt and how itās more realistic than making a big misunderstanding. yeah Iām sorry this fairing itās hella hight and it surprises me this is not at leas a 9.0 and up.
Ok, I just found out this is on Netflix and I want to add it to my list of BLs to watch here⦠but I got a problem ⦠is this the same plot as āIām the most beautiful Countā ? šš like I see over the episodes scenes, and they are in the same place filmed beautiful count. I need someone to be hella honest and if have seen them both and they arenāt the same. š
Although I thought I won't like it at the start the series just keeps on growing on me. The characters are so…
Omg thank you, finally someone says itšš. Thats the whole point of them, like having a main villain in a super hero story, if done well the villain may be likeable and one can say: āI hate that i love hating youā. šš
yeah⦠I canāt say much until I see the last episode and it need to do a VERY BIG LIFTING not for the ārelationshipā…
Omg donāt get started with Indy storyline⦠sigh⦠the recap of him trying to show Faye he cared was good, just badly executed with 0 chances of something happening, then u make him leave her like tht for Jia? like I get it they are teens and stuff but I would have waited until the end of the date at least or give it time for him to realize he actually doesnāt feel attracted to her. And Jias parents not being togethe or something, did I missed something before like genuinely asking? lol. Imma leave it there bc I have a lot more to say about Indy but with Lee⦠thatās another can of worms. IMO⦠if they hadnāt been hard with the IndyJia story they couldāve leave the FayeIndy storyline until the end but showing previously he still āliked the idea of being in a relationshipā and then releasing he dosent like here but Jia & made a mini side series with just them as the main leads like a continuation after the end of this series. 2-3 episodes of them growing into each other.
yeah⦠I canāt say much until I see the last episode and it need to do a VERY BIG LIFTING not for the ārelationshipā…
Yeah, maybe itās my wishful thinking that I create some scenarios like that to give them a benefit of doubt to the writers or producers. Also this is why for my rating the length and plot were down quite a bit bc they are rushing all of it at the end and there were no build up. I think they could easily had material to do 1 more episode(adding Stuff in the previous episodes to add context and reasons/ growth of some characters.
yeah, just bc of that my own rating system (I change my score every episode or 2 depending if itās long or short)…
I hope you like it when you see it, let me knowš„¹. But yeah I need to dig in in more of there older works even if they are short stories or one-shots, itās just I forget that sometimes 20-30 minutes is enough to tell a simple or complex story.
Ep 7 was good. Lee, returning the pick gift? huh? why really? IDK....these are immature people still so will cut…
yeah⦠I canāt say much until I see the last episode and it need to do a VERY BIG LIFTING not for the ārelationshipā but the whole -āok we good, imma do my things, imma be a new personā-. The only thing saving them (the character and plot)is if they show Lee dying on the inside watching the drawing and the pick like tormenting him and just wanting to tell him that he has feelings and heās just sacred. Plus returning the pick couldāve been a cute moment if it were phrase differently like āyou gave me all the support I need it with it, Iām returning it so u can charge it and then if u want to cheer me up again at a big moment u jus need to return itā like that itās a nod to ā I donāt wanna loose u and if we are apart weāll just keep coming back as friends or moreā⦠well if anyone is doing a fanfic pleas use this and credit me lol.
yeah, just bc of that my own rating system (I change my score every episode or 2 depending if itās long or short)…
Yessss!! ugh I donāt like it when ppl just rate them bc the do or not like the main leads or other characters like thatās part of a whole thing not just one. Also a great example is this Korean Movie āMethodā I saw it a couple of weeks ago and my god I loved it, and even more bc I like theater a lot and method-acting is a real thing plus the complexity of it and knowing how bad it can go itās part of why I loved this movie. Plus something I saw after my review here on it, for the time that this movie came out it was a big deal in Korean culture bc it was a the beginning of them doing more queer stuff and how it reflected the actions on the movie vs reality and being close. BUT BC so many donāt understand the end or how things moved quickly or over the top they decided itās a bad queer movie.
yeah, just bc of that my own rating system (I change my score every episode or 2 depending if itās long or short)…
No itās completely fine and you welcome!
I do it very objectively for my well being. Bc I NEVER gonna rate something less than 6. 5 is the bare minimum of doing a production and putting it out there. I try to rate it equally bc at the end the movies and series are a group thing not only the main leads, not licking a character is not something to downplay a work just think if u donāt like the character, the acting or the casting or how the present the character, if its none of those well itās a bias by observation most likely. But every single one of us have our own why to rate something.
yeah, just bc of that my own rating system (I change my score every episode or 2 depending if itās long or short)…
For me depends of the is a short (10-12 or less) or a long (12+) formats. But my criteriaās never change drastically: Scenery, Clothing, Legnth(this one is big for me either you did good or u you couldāve shorted or prolonged some parts/ add), Sounds/OSTs (any weird silences, spikes of sound, muted music or whatever, either good or bad), Plot development ( main and sides plots presented), Character development (main and side characters if they are relevant), Acting ( all actors), Trama (drama, comedy etc all any trope presented well) + any adds or CGI or AI used well or not. [I just rate everything out of 10 and then + then / and yea thereās my number⦠if I see the number to be under the low side but I did like it I pump it a .5 more, if itās revers the I put it down .5
I canāt cry, nor scream⦠Iām in complete shock and awe. The plot & score didnt have to go this hard.
Yeah, I do agree with that, if your not someone who knows what you want as canāt differentiate between āa possibility or what I can doā then this type of series wouldnāt be all that good for younger audience. But, if done right (showing the struggle of having many differences by the year gap) it can be a good insight for some.
For me and many others gays (I hope to be right lol) age gap is just that a number, It can be a fetish for only sexual reasons, it can be a really strong attraction for older and mature people (vice versa for younger). At the end of the day most of us know the risks even the younger generation (not the ignorants). Put it this way, some donāt think about future risks in love, when we donāt get pregnant and we stick stuff where biologically we shouldnāt šš, and for those that want just some easy-going life, they wonāt torture themselfs looking for stress.
