He and Bomi would make such great friends, love their conversations, both are such good fun to be with. Still at ep 3 but Jobu and Bomi's conversation reminds me of S1 Gensei and Taeheon's friendship. Funny yet honest conversations. Izaya turned out to be quite different from how he came across in the trailer for me. more sentimental and sensitive than he looks. I actually appreciated the diversity of the cast of S1 more, somewhat less conventionally attractive but interesting in their own ways. cycle25 1 Quote

I actually appreciated the diversity of the cast of S1 more, somewhat less conventionally attractive but interesting in their own ways. Finished the released 6 episodes. Izaya and William bore me to hell. They are like Dai and Shun but without the Shun drama and Dai dedication to make interesting viewing. Their numerous and extremely long conversations sound very scripted, and William just doesn't seem that interested. Hottie Huwei doesn't seem to be really interested in anyone either. Jobu, Kazuyuki and Bomi are the heart of the group, they are a joy to watch and listen to. Ryuki sounds much older than his age, has bad teeth, and is always touching and covering part of his face with his hand 🤔 Quote

Beach19 Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Loved the story shared by Jobu about the sweet memory he had. Very touching how he felt loved by the guy who sheltered him from rain. Its really these simple acts of love that makes it so sweet with that special someone. My heart really goes out to him for being so brave after facing rejection. Huwei is so sweet and hot for sure. Smart and so athletic! Hope he finds someone special. Quote
leckmich Posted January 14 Posted January 14 is it just me or do you find season 2 more staged? Quote
leckmich Posted January 14 Posted January 14 i mean, they meet again there? and it was fate? sure Quote

Huwei did mentioned that he likes Shun and Taeheon from season 1. According to the online grapevine, Taeheon might be joining. Hopefully Huwei will quickly seize the opportunity. They would make such a beautiful couple. Edited January 15 by StockBottom Beach19 1 Quote
Beach19 Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Im a fan of taeheon too, such a sweet honest guy. Hope they get to meet! Quote
sphere Posted January 18 Posted January 18 Wah, you guys are fast, only managed to finished all 6 episodes today, haha. Most of the points mentioned above were quite agreeable, when I first saw Izaya, he actually reminded me of Kazuto. But when his emotions sat in, there was indeed resemblance in Shun - just without all the drama. I don't know what he sees in William, which I suppose 'love is blind' eh, haha. I like Bomi best, his outing with Huwei was nice to watch (unlike Izaya with William, so 'stressful' for a date). While Jobu and Hiroya were brave enough to seek 'an answer', and yet to see more of the new member Ryuki. Now I wanna watch the rest of the episodes, haha. [When Jobu 'announced' to William in private, William's expression was like telling him "I'm actually not interested"... *sigh*] Quote Happy - is what we should be, always.

Unsurprising given their visuals on screen. The quick flashforwards seems to indicate some major progress heading their way. Agreed that it was way too stressful (even as viewers) having one heavy conversation after another between Izaya and William. X (or Twitter) users seem to have figured out the big reason why Izaya doesn't want to let go of William though. 😶 Jobu is so cute in the last few episode. Poor guy just wants to be adored by someone he likes. That umbrella story was 🥲 cycle25 and sphere 2 Quote
sphere Posted January 19 Posted January 19 @ziurtis yeah, I'm hoping Bomi & Huwei would have a happy ending, haha.

Salt&Pepper Posted January 20 Posted January 20 (edited) It has been scary to see the dynamics between Izaya and William. I feel that Izaya is possessive, control freak and tat manipulative. They are not even officially in a relationship and Izaya behaves like this. I can't imagine what the relationship will be like when they are really in a relationship....Izaya spider-webbing William probably. I dun doubt William is attracted to IzayaI, but not with equal intensity. I also believe William is so used to attention from all over the place in real life, he sub-consciously has a open and not so committal attitude. I wonder how William's ex who introduced him to his family would cut him off so abruptly and determinedly. We are not getting the full story here. So far, if I have to choose amongst them, I feel I will like to spend time with Jobu. Edited January 20 by Salt&Pepper Quote

They both have way too much emotional baggage and insecurities to be starting a relationship. Spoiler: . . . . Izaya is crazy, talking about marriage and opening joint account a few days after becoming official with Will 😅 Frankly I am not enjoying this season much. Everyone is acting strange, even Taeheon (the way he treated Jobu is awful 😡). Kazuyuki comes across as someone with many regrets; regret over his ex, regret over his dog. But I guess when you get older, as your loved ones leave you one by one, and you think about all the past decisions you made, the mistakes you committed, you can't help but feel more than a tinge of sorrow. Maybe that's why he is so sentimental, it's a reflection on his own life. Can't believe they actually allow Will and Izaya to have a conjugal night out. Have to see if Izaya will walk funny the next morning 🙄 Love seeing Huwei adjusting his crotch though 😇 Edited January 20 by StockBottom Quote
Salt&Pepper Posted January 20 Posted January 20 (edited) Izaya...too many red flags 😬 He should learn a thing or two from Bomi. Taeheon...hmm...seems to fall back into the Korean stereotype. Reminds me so much of my friend's Korean ex and the Korean colleagues I had in the past. Is it so difficult to just make friendly conversation even if you don't feel there is any chemistry? Jobu...sigh...come to daddy...I want to give you a hug. Speaking of daddies, I appreciate that the show tries to include older gay men, but do they have to so extreme.....a sex object (in GENERAL) in the last season and one so bland (also in GENERAL) [pls dun flame me] this season. Surely, Japan must have handsome, suave, confident and healthy gay gentlemen! Someone like Ken Hirai 平井堅 for example..... Edited January 20 by Salt&Pepper StockBottom and cycle25 1 1 Quote
cycle25 Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Last week's episodes were a little dry. This week's were a bit of a relief. Wizaya is getting tiresome... Like even the musical score for the season features a rather foreboding track. I also find it weird that Izaya keeps pressing on the question of the future when they have only been together for less than a month? A week? There's a lot of insecurity in that relationship... Also on the Jobu train here. The way he lit up when the new joiners entered the house. 🥰 Something about him makes you want the best for him. Hoping that he can get over his nerves. Bomi & Huwei are a pleasure to watch. The slow burn is very kawaii. 2 hours ago, StockBottom said: ....

Bomi & Huwei are a pleasure to watch. The slow burn is very kawaii. I literally fast forwarded William and Izaya's scenes in episode 8. Haven't watched episode 9 but every conversation between them has an ultimatum to be resolved. Like, chill guys, the world's not ending anytime soon for such lofty promises in such a short time. Agreed that Bomi and Huwei are a delight. That room scene with the custard was squealworthy. At this point I just want to hug Jobu, kiss him on his forehead and tell him he deserves much better than these guys. Quote
sphere Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Only caught episode 7... I wonder what Bomi stuffed inside Huwei's pocket at the start of the episode, when they all came back from the trip (just before the talk started between Izaya & William)? Just hope these 2 would turn out well at the end eh, they are lovely to watch, haha. I seriously hope 'not' to see more of the stressful conversations between Izaya & William after this episode, I kind of find them boring already, Hopefully with the newcomer (or 'oldcomer' to be exact) could bring more fun into group, haha.

StockBottom Posted January 21 Posted January 21 (edited) Unfortunately ... Tomoaki is , and Taeheon is showing his Hime side The atmosphere in the living room are just awkward at times, so different from season 1. I actually prefer them arguing over food budget and blended chicken breast shake. Edited January 22 by StockBottom Quote

I went back to rewatch the intro/opening credits for Episode 2 and 9. Here are some differences I've noted. I've reached the image attachment limit, but some other changes include the couple at the end before the title card comes up changing and also the replacement of a shot of the discussing the Coffee Van's name changing to Taeheon leaning over to write his date nomination I believe. Curious as the other silhouetted shots may foreshadow more things to come. Not all are necessarily romantic/couple-y, could be on a friendly basis as well. Quote

sphere Posted January 21 Posted January 21 I only just finished episode 8... omg, OMG, the last part on the interaction between Huwei & Bomi (and inside the room some more) really melts my heart away, so kawaii lah. Really nice gesture Huwei demonstrated - they definitely made watching the show more interesting/fun with the 'sugary sweetness' in between, haha. I hope they really get together at the end. 💞 [I was also hoping they would actually do the "Titanic" pose earlier on the ship, that would have been nice or 'comical' to watch, haha] Quote Happy - is what we should be, always.

They were so horribly awkward the whole time?! I was honestly losing interest bigtime in this season. Other than Jobu and Bomi, the rest have been really quite bland. Willzaya has been insufferable. Also I find it so completely weird they are always just sitting around doing nothing, staring into space. Not even having simple chatter between themselves even when in the living room. The focus of S2 doesnt revolve much around the cafe business and interactions either lol. Always 4mins of footage and back to Willzaya and other inconsequential things. Hope things pick up towards the end Quote

sphere Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Finally done with episode 9, I must say it was really sweet to watch both Bomi & Huwei on screen. So when Huwei wanted to tell Bomi about the next day, Bomi already guessed it and had "looked it up" - I think Huwei was pleasantly surprised that he was genuinely interested and bothered to find out more. Aahhh... so much 'sugar' lah, haha. Quote Happy - is what we should be, always.
