#gen why?

[aliceisathome]

Zipped through Fourever You as I needed an undemanding binge watch. I have to say that Bas has more chemistry with Maxky's little finger than he did with the whole of Dun in Gen Y.*

Anyway it was mostly tropes and plot holes loosely held together with fluff but I don't really care enough to care (if you know what I mean). I thought the original concept was for 4 couples though so either there's an S2 coming or they just decided to abandon that idea. I have a horrible feeling it's the former.

Still, it's always nice to see Earth on my screen although how he manages to look younger at 27 than he did 8 years ago in Love by Chance I don't know. One day I'd like to see him as a confident, kick ass femme seme - he'd kill it.

* Am I still salty about that entire second season? Yes. Although at least the questionable choice to abandon the whole 'fated mates' plotline for Phai and Thanu gave Pon the chance to pair up later with Sailub in Pit Babe and This Love Doesn't Have Long Beans for which we must all be thankful. And don't even get me started on the waste of the PokTong couple.

Gen Why? Ep 10

Not only did Pha’s parents pronounce him dead and leave the room before he actually, y’know, died, they didn’t bother coming to the funeral thus leaving Kit and Wayu as the main mourners.  For the first time ever Yu didn’t feel the need to cry and he and Thanu used the time to declare their love.   FFS.

Meanwhile...

This made me HOWL with laughter.   Kit sat alone with his umbrella, like a Victorian widow and Mark wasn’t allowed to come anywhere near him despite Kit’s promise (to himself?) that he’ll cherish every second with Mark, like Pha told him to. Kit needs a smack.  

Fast forwarding through the ThanuWayu beach frolicking (yay - the ex is dead, hooray, let love flourish etc etc) is the only way to go. 

Mark is possibly the best boyfriend in the world by the way - he studies English so he can also go to university in the US, he knits a scarf (which was PERFECT - how dare Kit say it wasn’t) and he puts up with this completely pointless separation because he’s a Good Boy.  

JackKoh/KohJack got their statutory single cute scene - shame they had to share it with our resident lumps of wood whose antichemistry tried to cancel out our boys’ chemistry in the same way that antimatter cancels out matter (if I remember my Star Trek physics correctly).  They didn’t succeed though - Jack and Koh are indestructible. 

Phai is the Philosopher Fong of the series, dispensing wise advice. Sadly no scene with Sandee - boo. 

And finally PokTong are on their way back baby!  I do hope Pok has saved his fluffy ears for when they finally get their groove on again - I know Tong will appreciate being ravaged by a werewolf.
