No but was this actually a test?

Does Tonkla trust Korn, or does he suspect/know he’s fucking other people too?

Baby boy looked so sad as soon as that condom appeared.

Or it could be a Durex ad, safe sex message AND relationship test rolled into one!

let's talk about Fuaiz as Tonkla in 4Minutes pls

originally i wanted to make a big post about how uncomfortable Korn makes me but i reblogged @grimoniasworld's excellent post that covers a lot of what i was feeling so there's that linked instead of me rehashing all of it. but what i do want to talk about and focus more on is the casting of Fuaiz for this show specifically in relation to how awful Korn is and how it supports that take on things actually.

i've seen a few people bringing up the fact that Fuaiz is only 18 and is playing a character that is participating in some pretty explicit sex scenes and how that is making them uncomfortable. some actors his age look older than their age, but Fuaiz doesn't- despite Tonkla seeming to probably be a little older than Fuaiz actually is in the current time line, he's still a young character, especially in the flashbacks we got in episode 4.

Bas, in contrast, is 27, and tho they did make Korn look a little younger in the flashback scenes, i don't think this is one of those shows where there's a 9 year age difference between the actors but we're meant to interpret them as being close to or the same age. i think casting someone like Fuaiz who is young and looks young and pairing him with someone older like Bas who isn't super old but is at least clearly older is supposed to be making it obvious that things are not right here.

Korn coming to comfort Tonkla who is emotionally vulnerable and then swooping in on him and "rescuing" him from his living situation but putting him into a position where he's financially dependent on Korn, and then starting a relationship and getting intimate and taking his virginity when he didn't even know how to kiss is something that should make you uncomfortable. i don't think they wanted to rely on context to tell you that Tonkla is young with an actor even in their early 20s playing him, i think they went with an actor who is young so that it's not something a viewer can rationalize away with the knowledge that the actor you're seeing in those scenes is older than the character is.

basically, is watching an 18 year old have sex with an older man who is in a superior position to him socially/economically/life experience-wise/etc making you uncomfortable? good, because it should. this is not a cute sweet romance between these two characters. this is wrong, and we're supposed to feel like it's wrong. we're supposed to feel the dissonance there. we're supposed to be side eyeing Korn. it's supposed to feel icky. because it is.

i know it's somehow unlikely since they aren't the "branded" pair, but i actually hope boc will consider featuring bas and fuaiz (as a couple) together again in one of their future series

You're so good, Tonkla. Hearing you talk always makes me feel better.

What do you think about Korn and Tonkla's relationship? I've seen posts about how Korn doesn't care about Tonkla but I disagree...Korn was way too affectionate with him and the fact that he kissed him before leaving as an apology for leaving abruptly makes me think that Tonkla is possible a "side chick" and since Tonkla wasn't fazed by Korn lying to his dad about being with Fasai makes me think he knows about Korn's gf but now wants to be Korn's main.

Omg Annon!!! I love it, I'm getting an ask! And then about my current obsession too, I'm excited! Thank you.

But well, anyway to your question: hard to say!!! I don't think he doesn't care about Tonkla at all, but I can imagine it started casual and then became more, especially on the part of Tonkla while Korn opportunistically accepted it because having his boytoy and being able to mie the perfect, straight son is the best outcome for him. Textbook-like. But I can't say how much emotion Korn has behind it… Sure, he's very gentle and tender with Tonkla, but at the moment when his father makes it clear that he needs something from him, he also pushes him away quite roughly and Tonkla is totally torn out of the moment.

So I'd say Korn has a thing for Tonkla, despite the relationship which CLEARLY has a financial component to it, but it's not enough for him to break his image and he obviously doesn't feel obliged to take Tonkla's needs into consideration, when he lied right in front of his salad, even though he has very positive feelings for him. At first Tonkla seems just a little bit offended by this, but then he also seems really desperate because he doesn't feel like he can do anything about it. I think you can see that when he strokes his eyes at the end of the scene.

He might even wipe away a tear. And where that can come from: I think he's very lonely. At the end Tonkla seems so small, as if he's collapsing into himself a little and of course, when he sees the cat, he's scared about it, but I think that he is, also shows that he doesn't want to be alone.

Like look this boy looks empty inside.... So even more than the way he's clingy during sex, I think you can see here how much he doesn't want to be by himself and this is underlined by the fact that he always says "its alright." to everything Korn does, so I wonder how long the arm is that Korn is holding him by and what his social circle looks like outside of work.

But well, that's far too long an answer to your question…. I should stop, sorry. This show has now occupied my brain for the next few weeks.

LoL... tell me without telling me

Black leather - Bad Boy

Normal Jeans, Normal Shirt, monochrome - normal guy, not much to read (aka no info yet on his personality)

Oh sis on a red shirt - lamfao... sure.. if that is the one thing we wanted to say to Korn - the red cheating flag

White shirt with a kitty and a half sun print - white moonlight flower with a kitty - the cutie pie, the light in the dark lives of some red flags... BUT that sun is half hidden...

rolling, napping kitty - THE NORMAL CUTSIE , SINCERE GUY... this one is the straight nice character in the show!
