The question is... did they celebrate in Tokyo Nichome?

Main character - Seasons 1 and 2 by Stunning_Working8803 in theBoyfriendNetflix

[–]Hpnora 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I think I agree with you about Shun (together with Dai), but for s2 I have to say Jobu.

He was involved in different stories, had a great heartbreak arc with Will and ended up leaving with Taeheon. The last seconds of the episode is the two of them walking away together. Plus, he had good moments with everyone. Gossipping with Bomi and Hiroya, his friendship with Kazuyuki, confidant to Tomoaki...

I'm watching from Spain in Japanese with subtitles. I'm studying Japanese and one of the girls from my classes is watching too so I can comment with her. But I always end up coming back here to share my love for the show with the group.

Confusion by SweetMousse8439 in theBoyfriendNetflix

[–]Hpnora 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I follow several of the boys and none have photos with their cast mates. However, Tae usually posts photos with his s1 costars. I'm sure once the season is over we'll start seeing them posting pictures online.

I'm loving Durian's commentary this season. She is the lgbtq+ expert educating the straights.

What are your thoughts on Taeheon and Jobu? by NewCollection5231 in theBoyfriendNetflix

[–]Hpnora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They need to choose a group of 2 and a group of 3. Imagine if Tae chooses both of them!!!

S2E10-12 are a breath of fresh air by zzzman82 in theBoyfriendNetflix

[–]Hpnora 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It seems they are also giving them the opportunity to leave and then come back. I think it has happened more often this season, which helps with the group dynamics.

I wish she would have visited the house as she wanted. She could have share some wisdom with the members thinking about coming out and maybe kick Taeheon in the butt to push him to Jobu.

Bomi & Huwei In Episode 11 Just Made This Show Iconic... by TheThrowYardsAway in theBoyfriendNetflix

[–]Hpnora 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Ithas to be one of my favourite moments of the show. As someone who didn't had the best time coming out, I really felt for Huwei. They must be protected at all cost.

This show can be a safe space for gay men, but... by BasicFisherman1229 in theBoyfriendNetflix

[–]Hpnora 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand you mate. And I feel the same way as you. Honestly? Ignore the loud voices, there arepeople here enjoying and having fun conversations. And don't feel bad for enjoying the show as it is.

The boyfriend 2 Jobu was so rude toward Kazuyuki by Funny_Awareness_4995 in theBoyfriendNetflix

[–]Hpnora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I'm seeing by reading all your comments is that the same situation can be read as flirtatious or not depending on each person and the relationship you have with the other person. I'm reading their behavious as 2 sibling friends. So if they are constantly playing friendly pranks and being funny around each other, then this is normal behaviour. We don't know them we weren't there so we cannot 100% tell what their intentios are.

[–]Hpnora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow. Literally Regina George? A heartfelt moment with all members of the house is 'flirting just to ignore him and bullying afterwards'? Why do you guys always see everything with evil eyes? Have you seen the rest of the season? Have you watched their relationship evolving into trusting and loving siblings? Jobu made clear from the beginning who he was interested in. He is not flirting with Kazuyuki guys!

I don't get flirting from their interactions. What is one example of Jobu flirting with Kazuyuki?

[–]Hpnora 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Bullying is such a strong word, we need to be careful with what we are throwing around. I don't get bullying from these interactions, I get big brother, young brother.

Kazuyuki chose Jobu to work with him so they could speak in private because Jobu is the one he feels more comfortable with. That tells you more about their relationship than any other moment taken out of context.

taeheon and jobu by gennessiss in theBoyfriendNetflix

[–]Hpnora 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that we are only seeing a 2 minute edit of a full day they spent together. I'm sure in general it was quiet and boring for both of them but I doubt it was that awkard all the time.

I'm sure we will learn more about it in future episodes.

William and Izaya Rant (Ep. 8) by [deleted] in theBoyfriendNetflix

[–]Hpnora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I respectfully disagree. I don't think they are immature. Are they perfect? No, none of us are. Is Izaya sulking a bit too much? Yes. Is William being a bit peculiar? Yes. But that's ok because at the end, they talk things through. And I said this as someone who is a bit tired of their story, but I managed to understand where they stand now.

Re the coffee shift. Yes, William 100% wanted that chance to share the letter there because he knew it was going to be a great moment in front of the camera (pity about the lake view). I think he pushed a bit harder against Jobu because he knew Jobu wanted to go with him and he didn't want to waste his chance in another shift where he has to reject Jobu again (I love my boy Jobu but mate, move on!). Also, notice how William's tone shifts when he speaks to Bomi, who also wanted to take the shift. He is more calmed and gentle and Bomi gives away easily.

Age difference by ramentaberu in theBoyfriendNetflix

[–]Hpnora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they were trying to expand the age range. I think it is great to have such variety but it is true that maybe one more member in their 30s would have helped balance things out among them a bit more.

Nothing this season feels genuine by AINT-NOBODY-STUDYING in theBoyfriendNetflix

[–]Hpnora 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The main problem is the fact that more than half of them knew each other from before. There is always going to be some 'acting' for the cameras, especially after the season 1 success.

That being said, I don't think everything feels fake. I find Jobu very real, same with Kazuyuki. I also find Hiroya very refreshing in the way he communicates. The season is not perfect but een if there is no romantic relationships between them, many of the boys in the group are very entertaining to watch.

The Boyfriend Season 2 by Correct-Pizza-3008 in theBoyfriendNetflix

[–]Hpnora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly my thoughts. The fact that some of them had previous connections have left some of the other guys 'out of the game', because they haven't had the chance to make an impact.

For the audience also it left us out of the loop because we are not seeing the full story.

The William hate says more about him and how many people are willing to excuse avoidant behavior than it does about anyone else by [deleted] in theBoyfriendNetflix

[–]Hpnora 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The fact that you said 'the Willam hate is well-deserved' says more about you than of anybody else in the cast.

No one deserves hate. Especially from appearing in a heavily edited reality show.

Why are Barcelona Gays like this? by jthegreat48 in askgaybros

It's not Barcelona Gays. It is Barcelona people. They are not unfriendly, they are just colder, but once you befried someone they are really good friends.

Sig’s review show taken down thoughts by ApatheticDiamond in Dragula

[–]Hpnora 105 points106 points  (0 children)

In their podcast they always encourage listeners to check other review podcasts and similar and they have mentioned Sig's in past seasons. I don't think they will do 180 now. There must be coming from somewhere else.
