Im here to ask the real questions. The one EVERYONE needs to know,

First note of love.

Will you be watching it normal speed with the sound on? 👀

Before I get to your burning question, I want everyone to know that the Executive Producer of First Note of Love, Jay Lin, is the FOUNDER of Gagaoolala, which is why the show is a Gaga exclusive. According to his bio, "gaga" means gay and "lala" means lesbian. Also, he served in various positions in the Taiwan Marriage Equality Coalition, which was instrumental in bringing marriage equality to Taiwan in 2019, so he greatly impacted my choice on how to watch the first few episodes. This is him pictured with his kids.

Also, the first episode is free to watch on Gaga's YouTube channel.

But to your ask - Always assume I'm watching a show on double speed and muted. ALWAYS! It's my default. Also, I hate singing in BLs, but because First Note of Love is a Taiwanese BL (which I LOVE) and the product of Jay Lin, I was willing to give it a chance more than I do for other series, even though I was ready to mute it simply based on the premise alone. Yet it stayed unmuted AND regular speed the entire time.

Yes, I watched both episodes normally.

The only other show that I'm watching normally out of the 22 QLs I'm currently watching is The Trainee because I really like the accordion that shows up every now and then.

I watch most of the Japanese QLs with the sound on, but they still get sped up, but there have been a few Thai QLs this year that I wish triple speed was an option. I like the way Bible Wichapas sounds (and looks), but even 4 Minutes is muted because of the music, and I'm watching it at 1.25 speed.

But remember that how I watch a show isn't about how much I dislike a show, but rather helps me enjoy the show more. I already liked the way Charles Tu and Michael Chang sound from their previous shows, so with minimal background music, it helps me hear more of them and enjoy the show more. If the background music distracted me, muting the show would help me enjoy the show more. If I thought the show was too slow, speeding it up would help me enjoy it more. Since I can control those elements, I change them so I can enjoy a show more. However, right now, I like the show at the speed it is going and with the sound on, so I think I'll continue to enjoy it this way.

Because I was always going to like the visuals.

My sister is watching "The Rescuers" from 1977. There's just something about the art style that I've always loved. It's dark and gloomy without going into creepy. It's got the less polished kind of sketch-like quality, so different from the more polished and clean look of Disney movies outside this period. One of my childhood favorites.

People don't actually grow out of their emo phases. People are forced out of their emo phases by employers who get a raging boner over controlling how their employees dress, cut their hair, whether they mod their bodies and so on
