Sangmin Dinneaw Episode 3 Thoughts

Sangmin Dinneaw or as my autocorrect likes to call it: Sanguine Dinnerware

Is this show good? No. Would i go as far to say that it's bad? Well.... yes, yes I would.

At first it was like WTF is going on in a curious way but now it's like WTF is happening?!? like who made these choices? and why? It's throwing me cos the production isn't low quality (well not for Thailand) but the plot is kinda non existent which isn't always the be all end all, I can happily watch a show for ~vibes~ alone, but the more I watch of this the worse it gets? But d'you know what's mad, I'm still enjoying (I mean just look how cute they are 🥰) the mc alot. There's something about them that's keeping me here even though everything else is bat shit crazy (dw I am still skipping ALOT of this nonsense). Think the writers took the day off for this ep tbh.

The more I see the more concerned I am for where this is going even for the mc, like I didn't have much faith in the script but this ep has DEFO lowered my expectations for anything that's to come (which is fine, sometimes you just have to watch a bad bl to appreciate the goods ones right? 😂 and I haven't saw a series that makes me cringe this much in a while haha although I couldn't even cringe watch whatever the fuck was happening with those hotel trainees!!

oh, welp, I just wrote this before That other scene of them.... honestly there are no words..

Wow, "one look give em whiplash", now we've jumped into some sweet dreamy scenes for the mc, which is how I feel about them too, sadly every other scene is like a sleep paralysis demon hovering over my bed.

There's potential in the mc story but the rest of this show is just flaming hot rubbish, let it 🔥

Our Youth Episodes 1-7 Thoughts

Uhhh I don’t even know how to sum up what my thoughts about this are.

Ok so I am just over half way through, I binge watched the first 7 episodes but felt like I needed a break cos it was making me feel my real life emotions (boo!). But don’t worry I will defo finish it. Here’s my current thoughts after the first half of the show:

Slight background; I held off watching this until it was fully aired cos the gifs and comments I’d seen all over tumblr had raised my expectations for it and I knew that watching 30 mins a week would have me in for a tortuous 10 weeks. I’m glad I waited, but at the same time I’m not. Hear me out. Whilst it’s amazing to just jump into the next episode and get the whole story as and when I want it, I also feel that as my expectations were high as I thought this show would be one of the highlights of the year, it sadly so far hasn’t met those expectations. I’m enjoying it (if that’s the right word) and find the plot interesting and the ascetics great but, and sadly it’s a big but (and bear in mind I haven’t finished it yet so this may improve) the kissing (and therefore the intimacy) in this is just not it. Like I gave them leniency for the first kiss as they both said it was their first time but every time after that I found that they felt like 2 magnets pulling in the opposite direction. Some scenes looked like their necks went stiff in order to kiss without kissing as much as possible. Does anyone else feel that way? I think the acting is pretty good and I believe them until they go to kiss and then suddenly the whole story feels off because there seems to be a lack of ~something~ then I forget about it and then when the next kiss comes I get the same feelings again. I think if I’d watched this as it was airing, I wouldn’t be as affected cos 1. my expectations would be MUCH lower and 2. I wouldn’t have been invested and could have just put it on the back burner.

I know I’m MAJORLY in the minority on this as it seems like a fan favourite both here and on Reddit and the reviews on MDL seem especially fond of it. I think part of it could just be a jbl style, cos I have felt this way about others before, but then again we’ve had recent shows like Cosmetic Playlover in which the kisses were 👌👌👌 (defo best part of that show lol), like imagine this show but with those kisses and passion? This would skyrocket up my list of fav bl’s, but at this point it’s just not hitting for me like I thought it would. Gutted. 😭

I’ll finish it, but I feel like this would end up on my list of bl’s that’ve disappointed me. Shame really.

Sangmin Dinneaw Episode 2 Thoughts

I mean just looook at them! How am I suppose to be normal after that scene?!

I must be more into these two than I thought as I clicked on this episode sooooooo quick when I saw it’d been uploaded (and I’m a girlie who normally waits as long as possible to watch currently airing shows cos I have absolutely no patience when it comes to tv, esp bl’s). Here are my thoughts on episode 2, enjoy...

My first thoughts are THAT. SCENE. Yes, that scene… just the image of Dinneaw slowly sliding his jumper off his shoulder AHHH FERAL! Plus the look he gives him with the lime in his mouth? What?! WTF was that?!? Then Sangmin who is CLEARLY enjoying it, slowly putting his jumper back on his shoulder? C’mon that was an insane horny 20 seconds of telly. Also at this point why are they even bothering to put Sangmin in a shirt at all? Swear he’s been semi naked more than he’s been dressed these past 2 episodes, don’t think I’ve seen a character take so many showers in such a short time haha. Sadly I don’t really care about the 2CP or much of anything else (but that’s why skip was invented 😉) like I know they gave the 2CP an NC scene but I just wasn’t invested in them at all so (don’t hate me but..) I just skipped that too. Also I don’t like this guy who’s scheming in Dinneaws life, he’s just an annoyance pulling scenes from the MC right now so again that’s just skip city for me. I’ll still be tuning in for these 2 though cos they defo have me interested still, I’d just like to have more scenes of them and less of everything else tbh.

[hiraethblues]

Anyone else start a show get absolutely obsessed with it, like to the point of brainrot, then pull back and not engage with it at all and not watch watch currently airing eps cos you know their not enough to satiate your appetite? Or.. you know your gonna be obsessed with a show so instead of diving in and enjoying it you have to act like it doesn’t exist cos you know you’ll just get too invested in it 🙈 no? Just me?

Perfect 10 Liners Part 2 Thoughts (so far)

Okay so confession time, I know ALOT of you really enjoyed the ArcArm storyline and I was told that this could be the show to get me to be all in on ForceBook (I have specific thoughts about this CP, but that’s for another time) but I’m sorry to say that I could not get into their storyline AT ALL. I don’t know what it was but I just couldn’t force (😉) myself to sit through it so I did skip 99% of their storyline to get to the one I was excited about which is YothaGun, so here’s my thoughts after watching the first 3 eps of their story.

EPS 9-10: Already i'm enjoying PS and it's only been 2 eps. They’re serving me exactly what I’m hungry for. I’ve seen some complaints that Gun is on the childish side? But personally I think thats just how his character is, kinda innocent and naive to the world? I currently don't have a problem with it (the only thought I have is in regards to their gmmtv 2025 show cos he becomes like a 7yo again and I worry if he's gonna get typecast into always playing this type of slightly silly role? Although that's one of the shows I'm actually more excited for so we shall see in probs 2026?27? when it airs lol). Anyways, my main want is for them to give us more of his darkness trauma, I really liked the scene where he was afraid and crying in bed and Yotha came in and comforted him but that was before Yotha was properly interested in him so I would like to see a similar scene again where he comforts him but it's after acknowledging his feelings for him. LOVE the tie tying and that Yotha is determined to be close to Gun without letting Gun know how much he enjoys it. Also the PJ’s are a nice touch. Oh and how did I forget, but wtf Santa is like SUUUPER ripped? Mental.

EP 11: Still loving this couple (proved by the fact I couldn’t even wait a day to watch this after it dropped) but why did this ep feel a bit filler-y? or maybe that was just me? I love that they are showing a softer side of Yotha with Gun, and the whole sitting next to him in the cafe all night was SO sweet - also the fact that Fai said “I'm just the dog sitter, your owner is here now?!” 🫠 Do we think Yotha told asked Fai to go find Gun cos he knew the electric had gone out? Ugh. Now, don't hate me but sadly I don't really care about Fai and what'shisname? so skipped that and felt they had quite a few scenes in this ep. Also all the drama kinda started 20 seconds before the end, so that's a bit annoying (It'd be fine if they dropped 2 episodes a week but c'mon we got to wait a whole week now, boo!

TLDR; loving it so far, give me more angst pretty pls <3

SangminDinneaw Episode 1 Thoughts

I mean, this scene has been stuck in my head all week! It was as horny sensual as it was confusing.

This is my first time posting my thoughts like this (doubt anyone cares, but these are always my fav posts) so... enjoy what I scribbled down straight after watching ep1!

What is actually going on? And not in a bad way, just in a 'I have no idea where this series is leading me kinda way'. My face was as shocked as Sangmins when I watched that massage scene. Is this the type of series we're getting? If so, YES PLS. If not, then what a strange turn in the first ep. The main thing that stood out to me this ep though, minus Sangmin practially j-ing in his p's was Dinneaws eyes - the way he looked at Sangmin in certain scenes was just soooo satisfying, the desire for this stranger who he also is annoyed by was just perfectly acted I thought. Plus he is gorgeous. Also this is the best take I've seen so far of the whole lost in translation vibes in a BL but I am slightly concered about Sangmin's constant face of 'I have no idea what's being said' - I would like to see that fade as the eps go by so we know it's intentional and not just the actor genineuly having no clue whats going on and it seeping into his performance. 

So far so good though, I'm interested, which for me is half the battle.

**Also a MAJOR heads up for those who haven't seen it yet - DON'T WATCH IT ON YOUTUBE - the subs suck! It's on iqiyi and I watched it without a current sub so seems like it's free for now!**

[hiraethblues]

Fourever You: My thoughts / problems with the show before it ends.

*Let me also preface this by saying I'm actually really enjoying it*

1. The lack of heat. And no I'm not just talking about nc scenes but the lack of passion? Want? Fire? Desire? Between the characters (this is mainly directed at HillTer because even though North was unsure of his feelings at first you can TELL that he WANTS Johan but Ter? What the hell is he up too? Cos i know Hill wants him, so why is he such a wet flannel?)

2. Easter. I enjoyed HillTer at the begining but why when Hill is doing his VERY best to make things hot does Ter come in like an ice bucket challenge and instantly kills the mood? Also we're towards the end and his character is starting to actively bug me now - feel like I've done a complete 180 since the begining and it's just cos the writing of this character and storyline is just not good at this point. It was messy to begin with and didn't really make sense but this is bl I can suspend disbelief but I draw the line at being madly in love with someone only to barely kiss them on the cheek and think thats ok? *EDIT - my annoyance with him is just in couple scenes w Hill, not when he's with friends*

3. All the girls are boying boying. Give the divas better styling. C'mon. you want me to believe that this queen wears that fugly watch? Nah.

4. Continuity. There are MULTIPLE scenes where you can tell they are cut together, and not in the oh I've watched this 1000x and so I can spot a hair out of place, no, this is clear as day aprons on the shoulder, then down the arms, then back to the shoulders, then down the arms.. Also the scene where the game was on in the background and it kept cutting between a few images when all they had to do was pause it on one image - no one would have batted an eye at that, instead we got a roladex of different images on what felt like a billboard between the characters during a relitively important scene and I couldnt take my eyes off computer screen. Like I know this is a show and is being acted but I don't want a constant reminder of that with poor continuity. 

5. The whole HillTer plot atp too.

This is just a minor gripe / want on my behalf:

You had an open goal during the concert scene where Hill and Ter were holding hands (boo) and Johan should have been giving North the most insane of back hugs, standing still, right there in front of everyone (like I felt a need for this scene in my bones so GIVE US A BACK HUG IN FINAL EP, C'MON!).

Things i LOVE (pls sir can I have more..)

1. How soft North looked with his wet hair and then sitting inbetween Johans legs?!? ughh

2. North sweetly leaning up to kiss Johan in bed.

3. The comedic value of North being so drunk that he basically smashed up Johan's whole house. Fun.

4. Hill in the towel. tyvm.

5. The friendships.
