all in all the concept was good - acting wasn't bad either, but the plot wasn't though out - there were areas it was just needlessly drag-out, what with the endless flashbacks, that were almost all there was in the last couple of ep's. that not great. it's sweet how they reconciled and even committed to each other, in front of the people who really mattered. but as said before, this could've been shorter, and maybe then it would've been sweeter. all the side character's weren't utilized at all- so why have so many? why give them side stories if "u" won't keep developing them? cause "u" were so committed to the freaking endless flashbacks - really?!? Jet was in like 2 eps at the start and then the ground swallowed the dude - other then hear his name - he didn't exist, might as well have been Bianca's imaginary bf. Nicole the "strong independent woman" was more a busybody that kept poking her nose in everyone's business, cause she had none of her own. and worse she kept acting like a drill sergeant. what's likeable or good about that?!?Ronin had more screen time, with his side story and they (the couple) got a bit more developed, but they never meet - the endless long-distance chats were getting tedious and boring. their cutesy moment's just cringe. who's left Orion, who was totally putting the move's on his co-worker, knowing why that co-worker had come to his families resort. and yet he kept getting touchy feely with him and at the end he acted like he this saint, that is graciously bowing out ?!?cause Tau only has eye's for Otep. and Otep apologizes to this douche even though he was spot on?!? plz - idk maybe i'm the jaded one, but this was far for perfect. not saying boring and it had it's good moments, but this needed work!

this ep was 95% flashbacks and the rest new content - what's left to say? other then - why??? if u remove all the flashback scenes, u might get 7 normal ep's, heck i think i'm being generous - maybe 5

and we r back to boring - let alone the endlesssss reminiscing, like some on who has such a short memory span they need constant reminding, of what happened a sec ago?!? and yeah yippy for Ronin coming out of the closet but Nicole's acceptance speech felt a bit hollow. idk maybe i'm just disillusioned by the plot - like the big hoopla with Otep, Tau and Orion - much ado about nothing - feel like i'm repeating myself, so will add - this should've been a Much shorter drama and then the plot-holes wouldn't be this glaring

and we r back on track, even enjoyed the conversations between Ronin and his bf (it felt real, and not a parody of how a serious relationship between adults looks like - which was totally the case until now). and the friends always rushing to come to each other's aid, is very sweet but can be a bit overbearing - they totally intrusive and most of their rules r a bit ridiculous, let alone Nicole rushing to enforce them like some fanatic, is overkill. but when it counts they do help, so i guess the bad is overshadowed by the good. Otep for sure is justified in his anger and jealous, i liked that he didn't back down just cause the troop's "descended" cause Orion flirting from the word go, and it aint even lowkey - the fact everyone saying "oh Orion" he safe is crap - cause Otep not delusional. anyone would get angry at the way he was going on with Tau (if we were dating Tau) that was taking friend's into the friend's with benefit's territory. and i don't get how Tau doesn't think that's weird - so i think Orion really being into Otep , would be one hell of a twist and hilarious to boot.. then wonder how Tau would react - side note: the flashbacks in this drama r just ridiculous, if this was a sequel to a previous season and we needed a reminder cause time has passed, i would get it - but just watched this a sec ago (yeah i'm binging) so it's worse. and even if when it aired there was a weeks gap between ep's - what viewer's goldfish?!? ugh

even though i don't like unnecessary drama this ep got some much needed "life" pumped back into it - cause for me it was boring and just monotonous i for one aint a big fan of the side couple - they cute looks wise but the content there is tepid at best, and cringe at worse. the girl's k fine as long as u don't get strong doses of them then they as tedious as the side couple. the mains - lol - i was an am rooting for Tau cause i doubt u can be so loving one moment u willing to sacrifice ur love - just cause u think it's better for them and then r left to tend to ur bleedin heart while getting labeled the bad-guy. and as already mentioned if he was read or interested he had over a yr to fine a new love interest (he and Orion working together over a 1) so why now that he has finally gotten Otep back would he mess that up? yeah he totally obtuse, as anyone would see Orion actions as flirting - there nothing friendly about it. so i get Otep's jealous and anger - Tau needs to wake up and smell the coffee

well sorry wanted more on Bianca (well we only get her), not her and her bf, or his side and she just a spoilt brat and the clingy couple that acts all lovey dovey is great at the start - even throughout the honey moon period. but u can't continue to act like complete moron's for decade's - it's infantile and annoying, let alone tiering tiring to keep up the act - cause let's face facts, that an act. so Ronin throughout this ep has given solid advise. donno if Jet is cheating or not, but for sure he has had enough of the glue like baby-gf that needs constant ego stroking and handling like fragile goods. she needs to grow the frack up.mentioning Ronin idk what to think about his relationship - and i get they in a long distance one - but they just lack something for me to get really into caring for that pair. Orion in-spite of those thick ass glasses is hot so i aint surprised Otep worried Tau might be straying, and yet cause of what Tau has done to date there really isn't a reason to worry - he had ample time to be with whomever, while Otep was in the states and he remined single pining over Otep.

another ep where nothing much happened and i guess as the main drama/problem has been solved, what remains?! just to smooth things out and live "happily ever after" i really thing this should've been a shorter drama. cause anything more happening now, will be unnecessary and making a mountain out of a molehill - cause Tau love's Otep he has proved it with the sacrifice of letting him go just cause he though it was better. yeah it backfired and wasn't needed but his heart was in the right place so what else is left? should Otep be in heaven?!? Ronin and his whole bf situation isn't clear and when they do talk i either cringe or feel the bf is being shady. bottom line not enough to get what the hell is going on there and cause of that not feeling anything for that side-plot. heck more interested in woman-child Bianca and wondering if everything is in her head of Jet really straying...

everyone is gushing over this ep - other then Otep's little moment of indecision about moving in with Tau, which was much ado about nothing - considering they actually living together... so why the "act"?!? but he should be glad for those girl's pointing out the obvious - he and Tau have been together forever. even their break-up is a non factor, as he knows the only reason Tau pushed him away, was cause he was thinking about Otep and his family, not cause he fell out of love. that's the main reason Otep came back - so why still stalling?!? there no reasons to be unsure - he came back cause he wanted Tau back - let alone their relationship so i guess he scared. even though he doesn't have a reason. but the rest is filler - and sorry as much as happy for Ronin, there something cringe about his relationship and interaction with his bf - so i was either bored of embarrassed watching Ronin.

from the hint's Ronin be dropping, think we all knew he was gay - get he never felt he could confide in that lot - not surprising as he more the friend that tagged along (that's the feel u get, with the whole group dynamic). but donno and maybe just over thinking - but have a bad feeling about the guy Ronin's dating. the bit that's bothering me, the couple that have been together for ages, Otep and Tau - why it always seem like Otep uncomfortable with any show's of PDA (ironically that all take place in private)?!? i don't need them to "get it on" in every scene (that's why that kiss was surprising in the previous ep, not only cause it felt normal and sweet, but it came from Otep). who would visibly cringes anytime Tau try's to get handsy with him - which them being in a long time relationship, just comes off weird. plus who doesn't want to cuddle and just touch their loved one?!? one u just made-up with, after a break-up, misunderstanding - let alone being apart for almost a 1yr. shouldn't they be closer?!? more affectionate? and to make things clear - Not talking sex -

cute ep, the coming out or rather the mother's ready acceptance while sweet was a bit unbelievable. being gay isn't a "death sentence" but there should be a pause - something to indicate the gravity of the situation, not only for the one who has to hear and accept, but for the one who was scared and dreading the reaction. but as only i seem to mind, guess never mind. also BL's Really need to stop with the trope of " i aint into men - it's just X.." yeah anyone in a relationship act's / tries to show how much they love their partner, so they make them out to be the "one and only one" think i would rather he had said "it's not men or women it's Otep..." subtle difference, but more realistic, let alone emphasizes how important Otep is to him.loved that the mother figured out in a blink, why Tau broke up with her son and encouraged him to reach out. but have to say the reminiscing let alone the devastation filled moments r starting to feel like filler. last ep almost, half way through till the end, Tau was sitting around weeping and remising about his happy/sad moments with Otep. this ep started off with Otep doing much of the same - let alone the repetitive scene's making me wanna fast-forward large bits. and i know the other character's r just tools to further the main's plot, or be filler but why make Ronin such a sad "whipping boy"?!? how he friends with this group when most of the time they bullying, making him the butt of the joke. he must be a masochist, cause he even hands them info smiling when getting insulted, from the start of this drama - why?!? this add to the drama - how?!?

this was sad, frustrating and infuriating cause yeah big of Tau - thinking about Otep's family and their needs - but the grand sacrifice trope is over done and counterproductive. u sacrifice so the one u love, will be happy - here he leaving the one he loves, devastated and worse in the dark about what is really goin on. so who is he really doing this for?!?he in an adult relationship with a bff - someone who has the right to decide for himself. if i was Otep, hearing this explanation would infuriate me more, that i was hurt and manipulated as if i was a child - decisions were made on my behalf without consulting me - cause everyone knew, what was better for me then me 🤷♀Tau should've spoken to Otep - told him everything and they should've decided together.

was a bit confused about what came before and after, but considering the look on both Otep and Tau's face, seeing each other after a while. i get they were together - but then as they were childhood buds that grew to love each other - shouldn't their other friends know about them? if not, who did Otep refer too, when he said "we should've listened to them..." as in they should never have started anything and remained friends?!? also "i love u, thank u, but sorry" is a b.s break-up line, the least u owe the person u (still) love, is the truth. so i'm totally behind Otep, hope he makes Tau suffer side note - dude playin Jet is FINE!!!!

i feel so bad for Otep, the only reason he is so quick to forgive, is cause he still has feelings for Tau - heck he didn't want to break-up in the first place and was left to gather the pieces and figure sh*t out all alone, while Tau bailed - so i get it and yet not happy with this quick turn-around. maybe guys forgive faster lol idk - cause if this was me, i would come back with a plan to destroy Tau, and all his flirtatious smiles, would just fuel my hatred. like the balls on him after dumping me without a backward glance and now he acting cute - wanting to get back together... like plz - why cause he remembered the good times. OMG i would go ballistic on his ass - but i guess i'm the odd one out

guess i'm the only cynic around " marriage symbolizes love" plz there might be odd one's that this applies too, but the rest psssh marriage has nothing to do with love - that's why there r so many divorces. but i digress Otep and Tau had a great relationship that makes me wonder, what happened to make Tau decide he wanted out. like i'm wondering what Otep's aunt tell Tau - what came after "did u and Otep talk" what kept him up signing love songs... finally deciding to confide in Nicole (just cause she told him she was in a same sex relationship i guess) still he was sharing Otep's secret too -i donno how i feel about that. or how Otep is gonna feel when he finds out.
