Don't always take this off, I'll check everyday. Check my hand? Yes. Does this make sense? Is it not good? Does this make sense? Don't I need to wash up? Put it on after washing up. It binds you. Do you know the token? Do you know the token that people exchange when they get married? Do you want to get married? Do you have money? I'll work hard.
HIS MAN 2 (2023).
Jun Sung + Sung Ho in Episode 7.
I have been laughing at the Stay by my Side BTS for hours. Waji ( Bu Xia) is unhinged and athletic (pro dancer) and Isaac ( Jiang Chi) is shyer but doesn’t know how to back down from the shenanigans.
What I like about Stay by My Side is that it doesn't try to be anything it's not. It knows it's a brain off, cutesy, fluff series and hits all the well loved tropes to execute it well.
✅ Antagonistic first meeting with slow-mo eye contact
✅ Sunshine male lead being an Idiotic, petty, embarrassing, immature, little shit, but being really cute about it so all is forgiven
✅ Fighting between the male leads that is actually just them flirting
✅ "Incident" which causes one of the male leads to start realizing their feelings while the other is completely unaware
✅ Gay panic
✅ Reluctant, but ultimately soft and caring grump male lead
✅ Grump sacrifices for, comforts, and takes care of sunshine. We see that the grump is actually a softie at heart.
So far all the tropes are hitting the mark for me. These types of series are a little bit cringe and silly, but also manage to be cute and funny and that's what makes them work.
