The Shore (2020) Episode 7: Two Become One

While there were some progress in terms of relationship development between David and Simon, everything felt rushed because of the lack of proper build-up on previous episodes. Episode 7: Two Become One exhibited internalized homophobia and queerness denial when this episode emphasized that one doesn't have to be "bakla" (gay) to love a man. While this is true, this episode should have pointed out as well that there's nothing wrong with being "bakla." In any case, after showing strong conviction against loving a man, David agreed to have sex with Simon. While the making love scene was tastefully done, it's difficult to shake off the lack of relevant screenplay that led to this scene. Acting was the same as previous episodes. Production technicals were also the same. With three episodes left, I hope this series still get to improve.
