B X J Forever (2021)

UNREASONABLE!

My headline says it all! What a disappointment.

Finally having a chance to be with your long time crush and not grabbing it just because of a cliche reason of his father hindering you? Then solving that issue towards the end yet you still don't want to be him?

Ben knew what happened to Jim while he was gone. He was disowned by his father and lived a miserable life after finding out that he is also in love with Jim. As if he was not moved a little to think that he was the one who displayed his feelings first. His eyes always looked like he's about to cry but his actions contradicts it. As if he leads us on wanting to get back with Jim but Jim ends up listening to Ben and Roy exchanging I love you's.

My heart breaks for Val. Unlike some comments here, he did not take advantage of Jim. His intentions were pure. He even told Jim not to rush things between them. Then he just let go of him like that when he knew he can't replace Ben in his heart.

The ending was the most unreasonable part. It sums up how the story was messed up and non sense. Ben and Jim finally had a chance to talk and catch up with all the things they went through. Ben even said he loves Jim and will always carry him in his heart and mind. But takes it back saying they can't be together that time. IDK what does he mean by not meant to be together at that moment even if they still love each other and all issues were solved. What makes it more fucked up is that after that heart to heart talk, Jim goes back to the party, holds hands with Roy, act intimately with each other and smile like no one is hurting. I CANNOT! I REALLY CANNOT!

My only consolation is the side actors and their stories. I personally think Olan and Yana, Dante and Flo and The "Orgy" couple were cute and adorable. EJ Jallorina has always been a good actor, but I found the acting of his partner Miko off in this series. (He made a better job in his previous BL tho.)

My verdict goes with majority of the commentaries here. A BIG NO. MESSED UP. UNJUSTIFIABLE. UNREASONABLE. NON SENSE.

It’s a train wreck!

There’s a lot of confusing things happening in this season and I just couldn’t tie it up with season 1.

In the first episode we got an explanation why we all thought the finale kiss in season 1 was fake. It turned out it was only Jim’s imagination.

And then they put different dates in every episodes which only confused me more. The chronology is just messed up. There’s 2015, 2013, and we all know season 1 happened in 2020.

And there’s a lot of nuisance scenes like the one where Jim, Olan, Yana and Flo lit candles and left flowers by the roadside. I thought Ben had an accident, had an amnesia and now living in the countryside with Roy. Majority of the new characters has no relation to the story at all. They were immaterial to the plot.

I decided to give season 2 a shot because it’s already on Netflix but to be honest, I think I just wasted my time. The story is not cohesive. The scenes don’t make sense. The editing is a mess, it’s like they just patched different scenes together. There’s so many backstories that don’t tie up with season one.

It’s a train wreck!
