- Shin. You are not alone. I'm here. I don't care how you feel about me. You will never be alone in this world. I... I will be a part of your world even though you don't want me to. - Who said I don't want it?

Shin and Peach bonding in episode 2.

[heretherebedork]

I love Peach. He's self-aware and that makes him more honest and the honesty meets his empathy and genuinely helps people. But he's also aware of it.

Because he was. I mean, he definitely was. He was harsh in a way that was needed. But he was still harsh.

And you know what? Shin learns.

He goes back and he picks up their aprons and then Peach goes and teases him and Shin accepts being teased just a little and Peach acknowledges that he also made a mistake.

Adults! Adults having adult conversations! @absolutebl A show actually did it! Both parties acknowledged being wrong and meant it and apologized equally! The rarest of occurrences.

UGH I HATE THIS TROPE SO MUCH.

[thedooristhebluecushion]

Just watched the Bake Me Please Special Episode…. and… don’t do this. Don’t manipulate and hurt your partner in order to ascertain their feelings. Have a conversation.

I can’t believe we’re still having to say this in the year of our Lord 2024.

<however the flour on Peach’s back was 10/10. No notes>

*STOMPS feet* NOOOOOOOO

It was so good. The perfect Christmas ending!!

Breakup that Should've Stayed Broken Up: ShinPeach in Bake Me Please

Ohhhh yeah, I'm still here. I never left my table at the Salty Spittoon.

I am sorry to this man (Ohm bb ily) but Shin SUCKED. Not only was he bad at communicating and at feelings in general, he had an ego the size of the sun and he was rude and belittling to everyone around him, including his friends of multiple years.

He called Peach's dream STUPID (and never apologized for it by the way), made him cry on multiple occasions, made him quit his job on multiple occasions, insulted his intelligence and his talents, accused him of stealing a recipe that HE DID NOT EVEN CREATE, he pushed him, it goes on and on! The disrespect that shows to the man you claim to love! Unacceptable.

Yes, he has his reasons for being the way he is and they're valid, but that doesn't give him the right to treat people like trash. And even though being with Peach might have begun to change him for the better, the onus is not on Peach to fix Shin and run interference between him and the rest of the world.

GO TO THERAPY, SHIN.

I was so glad when they broke up and it looked like Guy—sweet, kind, supportive Guy—was going to get to shoot his shot. And he did, he just shot it too soon. I truly believe that if he'd waited a bit for Peach to get over Shin, he would've had a much better chance because he was the better option and he was right! There!

Then things started heading for a reconciliation between Shin and Peach, which was annoying enough on its own but fine. Whatever. But then I started to get the sinking feeling that Peach wasn't going to get an apology and was going to be made to be the one to apologize instead.

AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENED? GO ON. GUESS.

Peach might have been good for Shin, but Shin wasn't good for him. Peach deserved a boyfriend who at the very least respected him, his feelings, and his dream. Like Guy!

I still haven't watched the special episode that came out a while back out of pure spite. Not even the allure of a Guide love scene involving some flour could make me watch it.

Shin and Peach should not have gotten back together and I will die on this hill. Call me Lot's wife because I am a pillar of SALT.

—BAKE ME PLEASE · Episode 1

[waitmyturtles]

A little weekend update from my corner of drama world over here!

1) On the Old GMMTV Challenge front: I have my very last installment of my Bad Buddy OGMMTVC Meta Series dropping tomorrow morning! What a labor of love this series has been — it’s allowed me to see Bad Buddy in almost all the facets in which I’ve thought about it over this past year in which I’ve discovered Thai BLs, and to apply all the comparative lenses from the older shows I’ve previously consumed. It’s been a JOY, and huge thanks to those of you who have read along each of my mini theses! Tomorrow, I’ll meditate on the emotional openness that allowed Pran to move to Singapore, away from Pat, Dissaya, and Thailand. Stay tuned!

2) I have a very full slate of dramas going at the moment, and because I’m recovering from this GNARLY flu that I got (great job, flu shot), I am not committing to writing meta for every show. That being said, I hauled the first two episodes of The Sign last night; this is actually my first Idol Factory show, and first Billy show, and, uh — IT’S REALLY GOOD. Did NOT expect this. It’s not only coherent — the plot AND the acting are EXCELLENT, Billy and Babe have FANTASTIC chemistry, I love the tomfoolery of friend Yai, and Thongthai and Khem’s cute weirdness in these studly cop bods has me howling. I love this show! I’m so happy to support Saint in his next venture, and I’ll be coming up on Secret Crush on You soon for the OGMMTVC to get familiar with the early side of Idol Factory as well. I would like to see this dude Babe in more shows! He’s REAL good.

3) I’m also not writing about Bake Me Please, and I have to catch up on watching this, but thank goodness for short series that move move move, because I see we have a MingDean ShinPeach smooch in today’s episode, and, yay! The plot is a little whatever, but I think Guide’s underrated as an actor, because he and Ohm also have EXCELLENT chemistry.

4) My god, what’s coming out this week — the rest of Shadow, the premiere of Cherry Magic Thailand. Really wish I had time to watch Cooking Crush, but I’ll catch up sometime on that. The vital ones — Last Twilight, What Did You Eat Yesterday?, and my EOY watch of La Pluie — are filling my heart. Such good shows on.

We keep truckin’ — see you tomorrow for the end of the BBS OGMMTVC meta series!
