DISCLAIMER: This post contains spoilers from Episode 13 from WHYRU so if you havenāt watched, go do that first, then come back for the scoop.
I donāt know where to start, but let me just say this. I havenāt fallen in love with a show like this for a very long time. I was counting the days until each new episode with anticipation like a kid waiting for Christmas morning. Itās going to be hard to move on from this show. It really has become a part of my life, a spot of joy that I look forward to in a tough life situation. I donāt normally get into my personal life, but this is my safe space, my own little corner of the world, so Iām going to let you guys in on my life and what WHYRU has done for me, so that you can understand how much this show has meant to me. (If you want you can skip the next three paragraphs and go into the review, I promise I wonāt judge you cause sometimes we all need to escape dealing with hard stuff)
Backstory time, lol. As you know from my Twitter bio, if youāve come from there, Iām old (47) a mom of two teens, who loves bl. What you donāt know is that I have two boys. One is 16 and one is 17. My 17 year old has been fighting cancer on and off since he was 13 years old. Heās had a knee replacement, more chemo than you can count, half of his pelvis replaced, lung surgery and radiation. Heās a fighter. He really is. This year the hits just kept coming as in December of 2018 he began his fight again. We thought we were done December 2020 when they found tumors on his spine and shoulder. Radiation/chemo to keep things stable hasnāt worked, cancer spread. We are exploring last options to keep it at bay so he can travel the world again. During this time I needed an escape, something to help me through this really really rough time.
Iād been into BL for a while, enjoyed and loved many shows like Lovesick, Sotus, LBC, HISTORY series. And I really enjoyed them. But when WHYRU came along, it swept me away. I found myself lost in the story of Tutor and Fighter. They seemed so real to me. I felt their every emotion. Itās like they stepped out of a favorite novel and onto the screen. I found myself watching their story unfold with a level of obsession, delving into the nuances of meaning in their body language, their words, even the setting and people around them. And I found other people on twitter who seemed to understand this level of obsession. I am a writer by heart, librarian in a former life, so I love the written word very much. As you can probably guess, I havenāt tried to write anything in a long while. But this show motivated me to dust off my quill and put pen to paper, as it were. But I wanted to share my thoughts and feelings about this story with others, and thus my blog was born. Honestly Iāve not only fallen in love with the show, Iāve fallen in love with the people behind the show, and the people Iāve met, friends Iāve made on twitter.
I followed Saint since his LBC days and it hurt me to see what he went through after, so I was so happy to see Zee step into his life when he needed a shoulder to lean on and someone to lift him back up and support him. Zee has helped Saint and Saint has brought Zee out of his shell. During this hard time in my life, I have been impressed with the way Saint handles negativity and his faith in Buddhism. I didnāt know much about this as I was raised Southern Baptist (havenāt been that in a long time) but I found myself wondering about the concept of suffering and the concept of peace, and the concept of karma. Iām still learning. But I feel like learning about this has helped me really live in each moment because we arenāt guaranteed tomorrow. Suffering happens, but you can also still find joy in things everyday. Be kind, compassionate, help others, give back. These are all things I strive towards now. And Iām teaching my kids this because whatever comes next (I believe I will meet again) the things you do now will affect your future. So I will follow Saint with love and support no matter what road he takes because Iām forever grateful to him for these things Iāve learned.
OK – Enough for now. Thanks for reading if you did, and if you didnāt thats ok cause itās time to start the review. Hugs.
Where we left off: Tutor looked up to see Fighter standing in the doorway with a suitcase next to him, a smile on his face. Tutor looked shocked because the person he most wanted to see that his heart was yearning for, appeared before his eyes like a mirage. This next scene is so important to both Tutor and Fighter.
Letās break this down, shall we? First question Tutor wants to know is how are you here? To which Fighter answerās Zon. Next question is the obvious one, whyru here? To which Fight says heāll answer that later. Whatās important to to talk to the person in front of him. To really talk which is what they should have done a long time ago.
Fighter asks Tutor point blank why didnāt you tell me about what was going on with my dad? He wants to know why Tutor didnāt confide in him, why he was kept in the dark and pushed away without knowing the reason? These are legitimate questions that he does deserve the answers too. However, i still am not happy we donāt get an apology for Fighter going off the deep end, but maybe Tutor has forgiven him because of his tenderness and care when he was sick. I can only assume that was Fighterās apology and Tutorās acceptance was the palm curling into Fighterās hand and Tutor clinging to him for comfort when sick. I guess in this situation they didnāt need the words.
Tutor decides to answer Fighter honestly, and Iām glad for this. There has been too much miscommunication between them. Tutor didnāt want to cause a fight between them. He was trying to protect Fighter and also protect Fighter and his fatherās relationship. But now that Fighter knows, there is no point in denying it.
Fighter tells Tutor an honest truth back. We fought harder because I didnāt know until later what had happened. So in essence he blamed his dad for causing a rift, but rightly so, he also blames Tutor because he went through so much pain and suffering before finding out the truth. When he learned about his dad, it set him off into a rage because it all could have been avoided if they had all three communicated properly. Tutor apologizes and asks if heās ok. Fighter point outs his dad has a heavy hand. Letting Tutor know it came to blows between them. He wasnāt trying to make Tutor feel bad, but wanted him to know how serious it had gotten. Tutor apologizes again, shocked and a little worried about Fighter until Fighter says Iām ok now.
Next comes the WHYRU here question, lol. I love how they put this in here as a nice wink and nod to the title of the show. Fighter smiles gently and asks āCanāt I come see you?ā He wants Tutor to know he still cares, he still loves him. This is his way of telling Tutor you are so important to me I came running to you as soon as I could.
You can see that Tutor is happy, but still worried. Things havenāt changed other than Fighter knowing his dad is against them. Tutor tells Fighter that heās still worried about it. This is a big step for Tutor who is sharing his worry instead of keeping it on the inside, hiding it away only for him to deal with alone. Heās opening up, asking Fighter once again what are we going to do about your dad?
Fighter is prepared. With a sigh, he reaches into his pocket, pulling out his phone. He unlocks, it pulls up a screen and hands the phone to Tutor. Tutor takes the phone and presses play, nervous about what he will hear.
Fighterās dad appears on screen with the warmest smile weāve seen on this man yet. He says hello to Tutor and apologizes for what he had done to Tutor. He tells Tutor that he wants his son to be happy and to please take care of him. He smiles and ends the message. We see his smile fade a little as reality sets in for him. It may not be what he hoped for his sonās future, but his sonās happiness and his sonās future are tied to Tutor, so he smiles a little sadly, but overall heās accepting and he will support their relationship from now on. He wants to have a relationship with his son. And itās finally going to happen, even if that relationship looks different than he expected. I feel hopeful for the two of them, especially with Tutorās taming influence on Fighterās behavior.
Now on to a confession, discussion and resolution for Fighter and Tutor.
This scene is so beautiful. Fighter asks him if they can go back and be each otherās happiness again? Tutor smiles gently and takes ahold of Fighterās hand once more, curling his fingers around Fighterās. Fighter leans in, standing on his tiptoes (I love this about them, they are both so tall) to place a tender kiss on Tutorās forehead. There are so many mirrors to other episodes that I will show you once I finish talking about this scene. Fighter is telling Tutor that he is still Fighterās most precious person with this sweet gesture.
Fighter swallows back tears as he once again takes his loves hand into his own, holding them gently. He wants to make sure Tutor understands what it means this time. He asks Tutor, will you promise to tell me when something happens? Because you are not alone anymore. I will be beside you forever. Fighter wants him to know that heās not going to let go ever again. He isnāt giving Tutor the way out like he did last time, heās certain he wonāt let Tutor go again.
Tutorās heart is full of joy as he hears the promise in Fighterās words. Fighter will always be beside him. He is lonely and alone no longer. He makes the promise to Fighter that he will keep for the rest of their lives. Because thatās what they are doing in this moment. They are making wedding vows to each other, ones they will keep no matter the obstacles that come their way.
Tutor leans in and kisses Fighter, happy to be reunited with his happiness once more. And then the camera pans left, showing the pair of happy matchmakerās looking at them fondly, glad their friends are once again happy in their love.
Sigh. I freakin love this damn show. It makes me happy. Even writing this, rewatching clips, Iām smiling like a loon, sighing over kisses. Itās so romantic.
Hereās a tribute montage of moments they referenced in this scene. I love them for this. It ties things in so tightly together, like weaving different threads together to make a wonderful quilt.
As you can see, the parallels are quite beautiful. Theyāve put so much thought into symmetry, symbolism, figurative and literal, it truly amazes me. PāChewin you are a master class director in my eyes. You have an artistic flare that simply shines through in this series. I canāt wait to see more from you.
We have next the playing at the beach montage, and I love that Tutor has stopped caring about other people and what they think. He is truly living in the moment enjoying playing with his love once again. Fighter brought joy back to Tutor. And Fighter has the ultimate happy face as he can shower his love with affection and make his lover smile and laugh. There is no greater joy to be had than that.
A few more parallels for you! I know you might get tired of them. I just love to see them together, it shows their progression as a couple.
Then they have a lovely dinner with their friends inside this docked boat picnic area in front of the house they are renting. It is of course served on proper plates, and they are drinking wine from stemware. I donāt know about where you live, but this has to be the most unrealistic portrayal of college kids at the beach near where I live, lol. Most college kids eat pizza off paper plates, and beer from cans or red Solo cups. They must be more cultured in Thailand. šš
I have to say I died laughing at the product placement of the powder for Saintās nose before they take a picture together…..Best Product Placement Ad Ever!!!! ššš
Then they sit there drinking wine in front of their condo, teasing each other like friends do. Saifah remarks that they all started out hating one another. This was never the case for Fighter though, as he always knew he felt something special for Tutor. Then Tutor says this line like well it started out hate, but ended in love. Fighter leans over and says Sorry my boyfriend is so cheesy! š I love it. Of course Tutor wouldnāt be Tutor if he didnāt say āWhoās my boyfriend?ā to which Fighter replies āMore than brothers, but less than boyfriends?ā with a cheesy grin. Of course Saifah has to pick on them saying they sure are a sulky couple. That is so true Saifah….š Also canāt help but notice the parallel of that being said and Saint saying he and Zee were brothers in the live they did today. Sure Saint….sure. We believe you, brothers that are handsy with each other and like to kiss a lot. Doesnāt sound like brothers I know, but š¤·āāļøš
It was lovely to see Saifah Zon in their beginning stage of love and the old married couple on their second honeymoon. It did crack me up when Zon teased them theyād get pregnant from the stares that Tutor and Fighter were giving each other.

Zon and Saifah depart for their room, leaving Tutor and Fighter alone once again.
Tutor actually tells Fighter that he missed him that morning he woke up and Fighter was gone. Fighter is shocked so of course he made Tutor say it again. Then he puts his hand on Tutorās thigh and says something like, if you missed me so much we can make up for it. Cheesy.
There are a few parallels, like feeding each other again, but even cuter this time. And whoās my boyfriend thing again.
They decide to retire for the night, which means lovely *boom boom* time (looking at you Jowan š) Just going to put the whole damn clip in here cause it is so š„š„š„š„, make sure you have some water cause you are gonna be š„µš„µš„µ after watching this. Not lying to you. Iāll break it down and talk about it afterwards.
Letās start off by saying that Fighter really loves the kabedon (used a ton in Japanese dramas). It gets his motor cranked which is why when he used to ātease Torā he did it a bunch. But this time, Tutor is wise to him, so he plays along with the, you like it like this, donāt you? Teasing Tutor lounging back on the bed with a come hither smile, like, ok, you many worship me is super hot. Got to say that. And Fighter kissing his way up Tutorās body is the first way they ever made love, so we know it works for both of them, lol. Gotta say my eyes bugged out a little at this image.

Then we get the lovely line of āCan I take back whatās mine?ā From Fighter. I love that itās a question not a statement. He doesnāt assume, he asks, I freakin love the consent in this show. I love the communication in the bedroom. Honestly itās sexy as hell. More shows should do this.
After being kissed on, you see the idea flash across Tutorās mind as he getās this mischievous smile on his face. He says in the super soft sexy voice that will grant him anything he asks for āIf you want to take back ownership of whatās yours, may I show my ownership as well?ā After saying this, he flips Fighter over onto his back, looking down at him, waiting for an answer. Itās not just Fighter who wants to prove their love again. Tutor wants to shower Fighter with his love, claiming him as his own.
Fighter wouldnāt refuse, and he smiles as he agrees. Heās man enough to give Tutor what he wants. He also trusts Tutor enough to give up control. Heās proven that many times in their NC scenes. Mostly Tutor leads Fighter around and he likes it that way. So he doesnāt mind being on the receiving side. I love the switch that flips in Tutor as he gets aggressive, telling him āI canā as he pushes Fighterās shoulders down. Of course, itās Tutor so instead of sliding to the lips, he skirts to the side and hitās Zeeās – um I mean Fighterās hot spots. We hear Z/Fighter moan as he really really likes neck kisses and Adamās apple kisses. š„š„

Then we have the fun parallel of the frantic shirt takeoff scene. And of course Tutor does the sexy shirt throw. Then kisses him pushing him back down. More kisses as things heat up, then Tutor sits up,

Ok, not going to lie right here, I might be a little to obsessed with how well these NC scenes are done cause um, science. Yeah, its in the name of science. And I have to tell you that men canāt really hide if they like something, its very obvious. And Zeeās white pants and Saints green shorts donāt leave much to the imagination. Just sayin. Ok. Iām just going to drop these pics here and be ashamed for a minute or two.
Heās going take off his shirt. Boy donāt play around cause he means business as he is ready to go.

The comes the worship of Tutorās torso. Which seems to be one of Z/Fighterās favorite things. And the hottest thing ever when he picks up the dog tag with his tongue, holding it in his mouth. Tutor leans in and they pass the dog tag back and forth amidst super sexy kissing that is so amazing, it should win best kiss. Seriously. Tutor has it last, lets it drop to his chest and leans in to take possession of Fighterās mouth once more before he takes possession of Fighter.
Whew. Go get some water people.
I just realized this blog is as bipolar as my mood today, so Iām sorry about it. I get into some heavy shit in the first few paragraphs, then wax poetical about the love and beauty of the show, then end with thirsty hours…..sorry for the bumpy ride, folks. And thanks to the wonderful twitter friend Jo Jin @crazyxiaoyang we have a newly formed group called BLThirstyMamas cause we are what we say….š. Love you all. Might get part 3/4 done tomorrow but its 3:45am and Iām posting and going to bed. If you find any errors please tell me and Iāll fix them tomorrow. š¤šš – Jen
Hi, Jen, everytime i find an email notification about a new post, i open it smile and i say a big thank you out loud. When i found your blog and read the first update i was happy i found a place for me. More posts later i find out we have a lot in common. Your story brings tears to my eyes. But, they are happy tears. Happy because you sound optimistic and very positive. I know from personal experience that hope while facing such a tough situation can be hard to find but you found it. I also know that your positive energy as the primary caregiver goes along way to impact your loved one. I am happy your son has you, they both have you. Thank you.
So, am sending you thousands of colorful hugs and encouragement. You can pull up any whenever you need it.
To your son, i send a million and one hugs. 100 for when he feels okay, 100 for when the pain comes, 100 he can share with his brother, and the one, because he is awesome. I wish them both well.
I wish you all well
Thanks so much sweetie! Your kind words mean a lot to me.šš As for the hugs I will pass those on to everyoneš„°. I try to stay as positive as I can, and honestly, I thank WHYRU, its fan base and all my twitter, blog peeps for keeping me afloat in dark time, so thank you for always making me smile. ššššš¤š¤ Now send me a comment about what you think of the first half of my blog. Getting ready to start on the second half soon. – Jen
Fighter and Tutor now. Like you am disappointed we did not address Fighter’s outburst clearly.I had two burning issues i needed out of the way first. The horrible incident and the dad issue.
Am glad they more than addressed the dad issue. Yes, he is redeemed in my eyes. I saw someone who was more than okay with the decision he made for both his son and him. However heavy, it was the best. I also love how he delivered it with a subtle warning. Take care of my son. It was so different from when he told him to look out for Fighter in ep 11. So yes, the dad is back, but am putting him on the back bench for a week. Finally, i can say, character growth, and it was not coming out of nowhere.
Am also happy Fighter did not sugar coat the situation Tutor left him in. He expressed his disappointment at not being included and basically Tutor and his father, both men who are suppose to love him, denying him the opportunity to make a decision about something so significant in his life. Thankfully Tutor saw his fault and apologized.
I giggled at Tutor searching Fighter’s face for any trace of a beating after Fighter mentioned that his dad was heavy handed.
WHYRU here? lol, i laughed. But also i felt it was the most important question for Tutor. He was dying with uncertainty. They had broken up, and even after clearing up the dad issue, he did not know whether Fighter would still choose him, coz in reality was he was the one that left. He was right to be afraid at that moment. Once again for me, Saint delivered on Tutors mental conflict. Also, Fighter had been nice when he was sick but left him again. Imagine being at the beach together with the one he longs for but cannot be with. Awful. So when Fighter said can’t i come see you, it took a load off. I also noticed, during the confession, the necklace was in his T-Shirt. He really does protect the necklace.
Thank you for putting the parallels/symmetry together. That was brilliant and new information for me. I only caught the part where Tutor reaches out his hand to Fighter. I thought wow, this time he is the one reaching out for the others hand. The reconciliation was beautiful. To crown it, the promise.
For me the promise was significant coz, it was one that meant they will talk from now on, communication was a problem for long. It was a new promise for forever. For Tutor, it reinstated the fact that he will never be alone again, for Fighter, that his happiness is never gonna be taken away again. I love how you put it, that he is no longer giving Tutor an out. Frankly, am all for this. Not letting Tutor only make such decisions. it is good for everyone’s health.
I adore the that Tutor no longer cares what people think. He is all about living and having the best time with his partner. He is initiating the kisses and generally expressing how happy he is. They are both at peace and just so in love. He does love it when Zee/Fighter carries him around. It must be their thing. Also at some point i thought, wow, he really is compensating for what he missed.
The product placement on this show has been nothing but funny but they know how to sell it. It is so obvious, funny, yet also part of the plot.
The boyfriend comment, i have a question for you but i will ask after you are done with the rest of the uploads.
Lol, when Zon teased them that they will get pregnant with all the staring, Tutor did not correct him, in fact, he said their usual mmh, for yes. Am telling you i burst out laughing. Also, thanks for clearing things up. I was wondering which morning Tutor meant, the morning of coming to the beach or the morning he woke up searching for him after he had a fever. That more than explains Fighter’s shock coz they were not together then and he had been awful.
Boom boom time!!! Oh, yes, ma’am i’ll tell you now, i have acquired kinks, my mind…it needs cleansing.
Can we call this their make up sex and then some?
Wow, Tutor does know the hold he got over Fighter when it comes to intimacy and he does not shy away from using it whichever way he wants. I can argue that they exhibited more communication in intimacy than actual talking. I love that they both relent control and are vulnerable, they talk not just verbally but also the body language too.
After 13 episodes i have also learned to listen to their tones when they call each other by names under various circumstances. How Fighter calls Tor (it is both soothing and hot), how Tutor calls fighter. That man is not the angel Fighter presents to us in his mind. Absolutely not. Matter of fact it is true Fighter was gone the minute Tutor uttered his name the first time.
When Tutor said can i also show ownership? I was taken back to the previous episode where he had his arms around that annoying kid. I think he also wanted to reassure Fighter who he “belonged” to body and heart as they say. I love the glee in Tutor’s eyes. He enjoys taking control during intimacy a lot. Also, did he just strip tease Fighter? WHYRU was wilding for the last time i swear. The necklace, do you think there is a significance attached to it given that they were talking about claiming back each other or is it just them being kinky?
*Boom boom*
I have to say Iām glad you think the dad redeemed himself. I feel like he really did learn more about his son and himself when they had their fight and talked. Proud that he did what he could to help smooth the path for Tutor and Fighters reconciliation.
I too am glad that Fighter was honest with Tutor about what he went through. He needed to be as both of them had flaws when it came to communicating about the hard stuff. Tutor took too much onto his shoulders, trying to solve their problems alone. And Fighter tried to push things off to deal with on a different day because it was hard. Both of them learned that they need to share their burdens together and talk about whatās going on with them before things get out of hand again. Major character growth.
Tutor checking Fighter for injuries is too funny, but I forgot to point that out. It was so cute.
WHYRU here…I laughed too. Nice way to reference the name of the show, but Tutor really needed to know what Fighter was doing there. He was trying not to get his hopes up in case he still needed to keep them apart. You could see the yearning in his eyes though. He wanted Fighter to come for him, but was also afraid. If they didnāt resolve the dad issue, in Tutorās mind, they might break up again. I still think that Tutor was willing to risk it because I donāt think he could have denied Fighter in that moment. He missed Fighter so much he couldnāt deny him anymore. It would have cost him more than he could bear. And even though Fighter had left him in that morning, Fighter took care of him when he was sick, and showed up when he was most lonely. Saint did a brilliant job, youāre right. In fact, I couldnāt be prouder of the two of them for delivering a beautiful scene filled with subtle emotions. Fighter was hesitant as well when it came time for the promise. After all, heād been brutally rejected, told by Tutor āI donāt love you anymore. If you love me at all get out of my lifeā Those words had to linger in his mind as he once again bares his soul to Tutor. He knows that his dad was the major problem, and he knows Tutor let him take care of him while he was sick, but heās still not 100% sure that he is still loved by Tutor. Zee does a great job with facial expression and the little hesitations right here. Itās perfect.
As for the promise itself, Fighter is saying to Tutor, donāt fight alone, Iāll fight alongside you because Iām here. And I will always be here. We just need to keep being honest with each other.
I too love the happy carefree Tutor and Fighter. Itās such a joy to see how happy he is, as theyāve come a long way in their relationship since Fighterās unrequited love.
As for boom boom time, it is significant. As for Tutor, he wants to reassure Fighter that heās number one in his heart. And this proves his possessive nature is kicking into the forefront of his mind. Fighter was away, now heās back and Tutor wantās to brand him as Tutorās personal property, lol. The tones of voices are masterful and powerful, arenāt they? You know that when Tutor does his little soft voice, no matter what he says, Fighter will agree to. And when Fighter gives up control to Tutor, he is comfortable relinquishing control completely to Tutor. Honestly itās sexy as hell! Yes, the strip tease was also reminiscent of this scene. Iāll see if I can attach it. Hot, Hot, Hot!!! I swear Iām going to need lots of holy water for the box set! LOL As to the necklace, its both significant and kinky. They are giving and taking from each other the symbol of their love which goes back and forth passing between them showing their shared love and commitment is a two way street. Itās not a singular journey. And itās hot af, cause I can just about guarantee you that Saint and Zee came up with that on their own. It has all the markings of the two of them. Saint is a bit kinky and anything Saint wants seems to float Zeeās boat, so š¤·āāļø And I know Iām talking like they are their characters, but Saint has let it slip and so has Zee that they are at least somewhat part of their characters. Zee has admitted he likes to get a little rough, Saintās admitted he he likes to take charge, so in my mind, its probably 75% Saint and Zee and about 25% TTFT.ššš
*boom boom* šš¤š

Thank you for settling the necklace question.
Now that you have mentioned it, i can see Tutor risking it with and for Fighter. He was happy when Fighter showed up, that alone invited a chance to talk. Plus i guess, after Fighter’s outburst, breakdown and playing the good doctor, he had done some thinking.
I am with you on them showing major character growth coz for me, their biggest character flaw (both of them) was communication.
I can’t stop laughing at you. I think your first purchase should be the holy water, then the box set and search a backup mantra in case the holy water is ineffective.
I repeat WHYRU spoilt me for bls. It is amazing that Zee and Saint put pieces of themselves into their characters. It added more life to them, made them more human and personally as a viewer, it is a big part of what made Fighter and Tutor relatable. It shows they were not just another character/ job to them.
I hope we get to talk about the general feel of the show, characters and maybe even the actors at the end of your review.
I am eagerly waiting for part 2.
*Boom boom*
Did you play those two clips I replied to you yet?
Dang it, it doesnāt work. Iāll make a post, send them to you privately, sigh.
Hey, they are not playing. Can you upload them again please?
I emailed you a link to them, that should work, the replied one is still wonky.
Hi there! I’d like to thank you for the amazing work you’ve done writing about WHYRU, I’ve read everything multiple times while waiting for the new episodes. I’m a huge introvert with limited skills when it comes to non-verbal language (which is why I usually come off as a very blunt and direct person). This is the reason why people like you, people who take the time to analyse and talk in detail about movies/dramas with such passion and subtlety, to me are just awesome šš½š. It means so much to me because I can appreciate everything on a whole different level … honestly it’s also a lot more fun and a pretty good reason to rewatch the episodes or specific scenes where I missed something.
As for WHYRU, I’m a newbie in the BL world thanks to Tumblr and the quarantine I guess?! but I totally fell in love with this one. If you have any recommendation I’m all ears, and ready to dive into a new obsession! I’ve only watched Tharntype and I’m following 2gether week by week, pure agony!
By the way I’ve read something interesting about this episode, specifically about Fighter and Tutor’s *boom boom* time. If you pay close attention to Fighter when Tutor is kissing his neck and Adam’s apple he is moaning but he also sort of whispers the word “TirĆ k” which you probably already know means my darling, my love or something like that!!! š±š
Anyways lots of love and happiness to you and your family!
Thank you so much! I am so happy you found my blog and have read my posts. I always worry that Iām being to wordy or too detailed in my review, so itās good to hear that you find it helpful. I have a background in English, so analyzing literature has always been a passion of mine. This is really one of the first shows that Iāve wanted to dive into like this. As for WHYRU, I hate to say it but you started with a really high bar, and sometimes itās hard to get into shows after youāve watched an excellent one. Iāll give you a quick Top 10 in my opinion and they arenāt in any particular order. They each have their positives and negatives, so Iāll try to give you one of each.
1. Together with Me – The chemistry is off the chart for this couple. They are another gold standard when it comes to love scenes. There is a strong sassy female lead whom you will love named Yiwah. Drawback – I honestly donāt have one for this show as Iāve rewatched it like a million times, lol)
2. Sotus – Engineer story with Head Hazer Arthit and incoming strong willed freshman KongPope. I love this story too. They are at odds from day 1 but KongPope is so good, youāll totally fall for him. Arthit is a little bit of the tough guy outside, gooey marshmallow inside kind. Drawback: Arthit can kinda appear like an asshole for the first few episodes, you donāt really like him. Itās a slow burn, but a good one.
3. Kiss Me Again/Dark Blue Kiss. Iād watch these two back to back as it starts with KMA and goes to DBK. Pete is kinda a jerk to Kao in the beginning, but soon things change between them. Drawback: Heās a real hothead with a short temper. Plus side though in season 1 & 2 they talk about real issues about being gay in their community, what the have to face. Parental pressure, etc. Also slower burn. If you watch Kiss Me Again on GMMTV youtube channel they have the PeteKao cuts which is what you want.
4. Until We Meet Again – Beautiful story, great characters, employed 2 confirmed gay actors in the show. Very very sweet story, but also dealing with suicide and reincarnation, so amazing though. This show doesnāt have a drawback either because I loved it very much, but be prepared to cry, a lot.
5. Lovesick Season 1 & 2, Reminders. Three shows showing the progression of a couple Phun/Noh. I love itās realistic portrayal of a teen who falls for a friend, and what to do. Itās messy and feels real to me. Sometimes there are side characters and plots that take away from it, but honestly I just really love the main couple.
6. History3 – Trapped. So so so well done. Story about a crime boss and a detective. Itās so good you will totally fall for the characters. Even the side characters you will root for.
7. History 2 – Crossing the Line, good story about a volleyball coach and a delinquent who joins the team. It has in my estimation one of the hottest kisses in bl.
8, Love by Chance – for a lot of reasons you will see this on most peoples list. Itās Saintās first acting piece and it was good, but his character in WHYRU much more mature and developed. Itās worth watching because so many people reference it.
9. Theory of Love – Best Off/Gun pairing of their movies. I will say you will get frustrated with Kai and annoyed with Third, but itās very well done and will make you laugh and cry.
10. Make it Right, especially since they threw in the characters and referenced them in episode 2 of WHYRU. I like the side couples as well.
A bonus one – Heās Coming to Me – a boy grows up being able to see spirits, then falls for one he met as a kid. So sweet. I love this one.
As for the TTFT one, I just saw that clip, and retweeted it. Someone has some good ears. I swear that was Zee not Fighter, lol.
