What moves me more about My Stand-In so far is the mother-son relationship between Joe and Ing. Because good lord, imagine your mother has been dead for years now but suddenly you awaken in someone else's life and you have now a very caring and loving mother, but you're not quite his child, but you're happy, and guilty, because of course you'd try to reconnect with your old life, but how can you? how can you go back to your old life without breaking her heart?

I like it when a title works on several levels as it does in My Stand In, where Joe is:

A stand in for actors who need him to handle their stunts

A stand in for Ming to use when he can’t have what he wants from Tong

A stand in for the other Joe whose body he has somehow taken over

This first episode was compelling and I am very much on Joe’s side even as I am side eyeing some of these decisions he’s making. I haven’t read the book so I have no idea where this is going but I still have a lot of questions about the body swap and Ming has truly rancid vibes so I expect it will be interesting.

My favorite part of My Stand-In so far with only one episode is the way the show obscures Joe's face and focuses on Ming's.

The makeup artist states that Joe's body looks exactly likes Tong's, but Joe's face is what makes him not-Tong, so we don't see Joe's face. He is also a body-double so his entire job is about his body, not his face.

We get to see Ming's face because Joe is so focused on Ming's beauty even though we know Ming can and will be ugly, and as a model, Ming's job is his face. "Does that face ring a bell?"

But we rarely see Joe's face, even when Ming is looking at Joe.

Ming is a face. Joe is a body.

Because it's Joe's body that matters, not his face.

So it's interesting that Ming saw Tong's back as he walked away from Ming at dinner

And immediately thought of Joe.

Because it already shows a slight shift that it's not so much Joe that reminds Ming of Tong (like it was originally), but that Tong reminded Ming of Joe.

Once Ming envisioned Joe's face, he shook the thought from his head as if he was bothered by the image, but it wasn't because Joe wasn't Tong, but, once again, that he even thought of Joe, which is why the conversation where Joe stated that he thought Ming didn't remember him was ironic since Ming is slightly annoyed that he remembers Joe's face.

Because it could have been Joe at the dinner with Ming the entire time the way the dinner scene was filmed.

Or it could have been Tong who Ming was kissing based on how it was filmed.

But the shot made sure we were aware that Ming knew it was Joe even if he had been drinking.

When Joe was asked about his preferences, the shot immediately cut to Ming's face.

But when Ming called Joe, we saw Joe's face as he emerged from a room first

Then, the focus was on his back.

So when Ming walked into that elevator and not only looked directly at new Jo

But also stood next to new Jo, nothing registered to him.

Ming didn't react until he saw new Jo's back.

Which should show how the vicious cycle continues: Joe's body was a replacement for Tong, and new Jo's body will be a replacement for old Joe. BUT we didn't see Ming's face when he was waiting for the elevator.

New Jo knew he was coming up, and so did we, so there was no need to block out Ming's face, especially when the story keeps telling us Ming is his face.

But the story is already telling us that Joe wasn't just a body to Ming.

And Ming wasn't just a face to Joe.

They actually saw the entire person, and Ming was the first to see Joe as Joe even if he wanted Tong.

Which is why the poster is even more pleasing now since we see Joe's full face not his back while we see Ming's full back, but only half of his face.

Ming is more than his face. Joe is more than his body.

At least for each other.

The author for pitbabe quoted a fan asking about the nc scenes, and she spoke about how the nc won't be so prevalent in this upcoming second season. And most of us know if u read the book or just heard or read snippets like I did, lol . The first book was 90% about the sex and the plot was there!, but it was more so about them two and the sexual nature of their relationship. So, going into the second season, I feel like there is so much to unpack, and we get to see how much babe and charile have changed as individuals and in their relationship. After everything they went through, I'm curious to see the maturity and / or the struggles and how they will work through it. Especially with babe having these nightmares how much of that will he share with charile like he's aware as we can see, but to what gravity of it does charile know. Did it get worse as time passes, or does babe try to conceal it. And just in general, does he share any of the trauma he's still reeling from with anyone?We don't know anything yet, but it makes the second season so much more to me at least anticipated!

Except for your face, you really do look like Tong, especially from behind.

watching ep 1 of my stand in, my impression was that the series emphasized quite a lot on joe's bottom virginity...

gif of the wonderful @supanuts

... yet they forgot to include my two most favorite little tidbits regarding this is (1) joe explaining why he's always been top his entire life and (2) joe forewarning ming before they fuck that if his sex skills is mid, he better tell him first. so here are the two excerpts from chapter 10 and chapter 11 respectively.

1. joe explaining why he's been top all his life (this happens during their meal at the restaurant together)

Yan Ming Xiu looked at him. Zhou Xiang’s attraction and desire for him is so obvious that it can’t even be concealed. Actually, there is no reason to conceal it. Between men, it’s better to be direct. Each takes what one needs. Zhou Xiang leaned close to him and softly asked, “So, have you really forgotten me?” Yan Ming Xiu gripped his chin and gently touched his lips, “Maybe I’ve only just remembered you.” Zhou Xiang burst out in laughter, “It’s quite timely.” He bit YanMingXiu’s lips, gently tugging it, “But I’ve been thinking of you every day.” Yan Ming Xiu asked softly, “Think of me? Thinking of me topping you?” “Actually, of me topping you but if you’re not willing, I can only suffer this time.” “You’ve really never been a 0?” Zhou Xiang jokingly responded, “Nope. I wanted to be (a zero) when I was young, but people wouldn’t even look at me because they thought I looked too mature. When I got older, it was even more unlikely. There are more 0’s than 1’s in the circle…so many fresh meats waiting for me; you think I’d go looking for people to top me?” Yan Ming Xiu gently reached his hand into Zhou Xiang’s clothes and pinched his slender waist, then says coarsely, “So then, if you’re going to do it with me, it’ll be your first time (being a zero)?” Zhou Xiang laughed, “Exactly. Don’t you have to be responsible?” “Haven’t topped you yet, what’s there to be responsible for?”

2. joe forewarning ming before having sex

Zhou Xiang smiled at him, “Let’s agree on something first. I still have to work the day after tomorrow. If your skills are not up to par, you better say so ahead of time, don’t dupe me.” He’s heard of people having to go to the hospital from their first time (being a 0). He just wants to have sex. That’s all. He didn’t want to be embarrassed. Although his words sound quite conservative, Zhou Xiang’s eyes have already nakedly swept at Yan Ming Xiu’s abs. His muscles are too beautiful and his skin so exquisite that it’s reflective. Yan Ming Xiu looks very thin when he’s wearing clothes but that’s probably because he’s so tall. Zhou Xiang didn’t expect that once Yan Ming Xiu remove his clothes, his body would be so firm, paired with his long legs and his face, click-click (clicking his tongue sound), his mood right now is just like a straight male having sex with an exceptional beauty.

so yea these are my two favorite bits that didn't really make the cut even though they were definitely hinting at it already. the other is probably joe was invited to a threesome (to which he declined) before getting the call from ming for that meal.

but in general, i think the series is really fast paced as opposed to the novel and i can see them being able to go through most major plot points of the novel. incredibly excited for ep 2 as everyone could probably tell from my spamming of my stand-in gifs these past two days.

Adding to your idea, Babe would be pregnant already and Tony in any way finding out and kidnapping the baby (because they would have any special power, come on their parents gonna be Charlie and Babe) and Babe and Charlie (imagine them heartbroken and being very scared for the baby) and of course they get them back

Hi anon! Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking if babe was happen to be pregnant then tony would do anything to kidnap that baby. But of course babe and Charlie would get their baby back with help! And Maybe with babes father hopefully he'll make a return this season and well.

I thought you had already forgotten about me. What about you? Have you forgotten me? What do you think? Looking at your face, it seems like you can't get me out of your head, can you?

Back then, I felt like I was in a dream. I just didn't realize it was a nightmare or that the man before my eyes was going to destroy my life.
