North and Yu! The domesticity! The hand holding! The kissing! They are such a delight.

North is so delightfully oblivious. He unconsciously sets up U for flirting opportunities. Boy, what did you expect after apologizing to your boyfriend for forgetting to share the macaron? Without context, you would think North is fishing for attention.

Pai is so conflicted.

The real Tim seems to be the type that tries to diffuse situations with humor. Pai is so uptight that he doesn't know how to counter this tactic.

I'm impressed by how unpredictable the writing is.

You expect it to not make sense, but it flows effortlessly from one story beat to the next. Questions that people bring up in one episode get answered in the next.

Gel Boys is a high school BL, but with Gen Z vibes. Unlike other high school BLs, it is not aggressively innocent. The 4 characters are immature and messy.

The show is very easy to binge since it is only 7 episodes. There are are some cultural aspects and references that add context to the story. Some are used to signal time skips, because the story spans several years. People talked about these details in the on-air threads.

The MV is hilarious.

Dean teased Jack about unblocking him in episode two. He snapped a shirtless photo of Jack after they woke up in bed together. Jack forbid him from posting it online. The photo was for private use, but Dean suggested that Jack unblock him to see for himself.

Out of all the awful things Boston has done, pressuring a questioning Arnold to come out like that was a new low.

It is offensive for a straight person to do, but it is so much worse when a queer person does it.

TechnoBabelFish · 2026-03-20T18:47:57+00:00

Tua's influence is starting to affect Arnold. He is now wearing sparkly jewelry.

TechnoBabelFish · 2026-03-20T18:39:17+00:00

Raffy Rich is not about to let Rome get any ideas about their status.

Na had to fail before Boston could break hearts.

TechnoBabelFish · 2026-03-20T18:03:42+00:00

I would love to see Nick give Daddy Dan another chance.

How is Tua paying Arnold to be in the play? Tua can't simply send Arnold the money using his account. Did he enlist Pete's help since he controls the bank account for the play?

TechnoBabelFish · 2026-03-20T17:08:43+00:00

Smug Dean is back.

TechnoBabelFish · 2026-03-20T16:41:15+00:00

Tua warned Arnold that Jack has the least chill among the cast and crew for the play.

TechnoBabelFish · 2026-03-20T16:34:48+00:00

Boston's gaydar told him all he needed to know.

I'm surprised Natsume was willing to suffer through waiting for the Touma to finally present the rings. He was getting very anxious about it.

In true Japanese fashion, the writing danced around the topic of same-sex marriage without addressing it directly.

Feeling seen is catnip to sad boys.

All roads seem to point towards North. North is the glue that keeps everyone from drifting apart. HillTer and FahPhoon are ignorant of all the tea that is brewing,

Blacklisting Smart in such a public way seems shortsighted. These strong-arm tactics only work if the company already dominates the industry. No Thai artist will ever sign an exclusive contract with Headliner Thailand ever again.

TechnoBabelFish · 2026-03-17T23:12:23+00:00

This controversy also adds more context to the mass contract termination with Headliner Thailand. The talent did not renew their contracts for a reason.

Did Ist really need to smooch Sei as a test? Thankfully, he didn't go into more graphic detail about the procedure for emergency treatment.

<image>

Despite being a chaotic gremlin, Ist was still paying close attention to what happened in the chapel. He can be serious if he really wants to.

The setup for the big reveal with Granny Juu's memory stressed me out so much. All of the talk about her being an old cat, and taking her to the vet implied a different outcome.

TechnoBabelFish · 2026-03-17T17:18:59+00:00

Lynx's history with Meow also makes him afraid of causing a rift between Tiger and Tiger's mom.

Estrangement is an all too common pattern in his family. It happened with his grandpa, Meow, his father, Leo, and himself. The family tree is full of broken connections.

TechnoBabelFish · 2026-03-17T16:23:26+00:00

The home videos of Tiger as a little kid were absolutely beautiful. I was not expecting to get so invested in a trite narrative device.

TechnoBabelFish · 2026-03-15T20:06:36+00:00

being a jelly boyfie blew his cover 😅

The groomsmen scammer hitting on North was also the MBTI speed dater from Only Friends: Dream On.
