First Kisses (of the show)

[heretherebedork]

I'm still thinking about the way Kim turned the water on in the bathroom to cover up his crying after he broke up with Mek because he knew he had to hide his pain from everyone, because anyone knowing how much he'd just sacrificed would be his downfall because there are too many people who cared about him and cared about Mek and wanted them both to be happy.

I wonder how Kim will explain to his friends, how they'll respond to him claiming he never liked Mek. And how will they handle their boyfriends' pain at Mek's pain, how will they look at Kim again and not see this moment?

I know Kim intended to send Mek off to a better future but what else has he sacrificed in this moment, what else has he lost in trying to help the man he loves live the dream he's had for so long?

I know we have a timeskip and two more episodes but that also means we're unlikely to see the direct aftermath in the friend groups and that's very sad to me because that alone could easily have filled two episodes.

Too much for one episode

MY SECRET LOVE the series ep 6

Officially joining this cruise

It took me a while to warm up to this one. There were too many ships and I had zero interest to get on any of them. The enemies to lovers trope was giving me motion sickness and my sea legs could not handle Mek's immature pranks. By the end of the second episode I was on a life boat frantically rowing myself to the nearest shore.

After surviving the "Check Out" typhoon I was left floating from one week to the next, clinging on to a "Love Mechanics" life jacket. In a last attempt of escape I shot a flare gun and as it lit up the sky I could feel my body sinking in to the dark ocean, with no "Star and Sky" in sight.

Must be the weeks of dehydration, I thought to myself when woke up to find I was back on the ship I had once abandoned. Admittedly, I am a sucker for the university setting, the fall that ends with a kiss and the man child that matures because of the one he loves. By the fifth episode I would experience withdrawal symptoms whenever KimxMek were not on the screen. After reading through reviews of the following eposides, I decided to stick around to see where this ship was going. I was hoping for smooth sailing, but we have received warning from the Capitan that we might be headed into ex-girlfriend waters. Hold on tight fellow fujoshis, it's not BL if it's not a bumpy ride.

Mek Kim + Cinematography

Episode 6, My Secret Love, 2022

[heretherebedork]

Mek rejecting Kim because he knows he got accepted into an overseas university and now avoiding him entirely out of guilt and pain and love is painful. He's so bad at words, he's so bad at expressing himself, he's trying to look out for people but without an explanation all he's doing is hurting them. And hurting himself, aching and breaking inside, because he doesn't know to reconcile what he wants and who he loves and the future he's just starting to see as well. Luckily for him, he's got good friends at his side to talk to him.

Mek is trying to take care of Kim but he's only making him feel rejected and that's just... oh, babies. Merk really is just trying to look out for his boyfriend but Kim isn't comfortable enough in their relationship to have an invitation like that rejected.

I did like Kim yelling at the plant in his room, though. That was adorable.

I just feel awful for Kim, honestly. He's obviously a words of affirmation type of lover who just needs to talk and to be understood and to hear what's going on in Mek's mind but Mek tries to show his emotions with acts of service and the crossed wires are so crossed at this point it almost impossible to sort out. Mek knows what he needs to do, he truly does, but he struggles so much with communication and being direct but that's what Kim needs.
