Honestly, I enjoy watching the "boringness" of a healthy relationship. I enjoy listening to the important conversations, watching slow dates, or just two boyfriends chilling at home. It's mundane, but comforting to me. I like a little drama too, but too much can get really annoyi…
I loved this season. The show isn't a competition...we don't need someone to come in to stir the pot half way. I loved the slice of life format of this season of the show.
The timing of this video…let’s just say, there’s a lot going on in ‘The Boyfriend’ universe right now 👀
I really enjoyed season 2 although I agree some of the production stuff was obvious. My favorite couple was William and Izaya because as you both said, their feelings for each other actually felt genuine compared to the other couples. But my favorite part of the show was the grow…
Thanks Meng... Andrew, my husband is 14yrs older. Together over 10 yrs👏🏾💓 It can happen. Daddies are in trend now anyway 😂
I see some common points with my analysis here (6 Things The Boyfriend Season 2 Taught Gays - https://youtu.be/ecSfu6s6gUg) - but also not too much on my fave Kazuyuki! Disagree: the show is to promote Boy Friends AND Boyfriends - catch the word play 😊 I agree with: - producer…
FASCINATING hearing your opinions about everyone. it's soooo diff from what i thought + what my twitter feed was saying! basically i/we loved bomi/huwei and was not convinced by izaya/william
It’s like the producers of The Boyfriend really wanted romance to happen, to the point where it felt like contestants were being nudged to “lock it in” as soon as they liked someone. Some of the interactions were just… awkward to watch. Also, I love Jobu, but Taehon... oof
Very interesting to hear your thoughts! They're very different from mine, haha Maybe I'm too naive, but I didn't feel like a lot of influence was taken by the producers. I really enjoyed watching Bomi and Huwei, I thought it was super cute. I know what you meant that Huwei didn't…
It's great to see Meng back! I'm so glad you are feeling better. It's interesting how events in our life change the way we look at how "exciting" other relationships are.
I’ve been waiting for this reaction video! I wish they brought in more guys in their late 30s, 40s and so forth.
glad u'r ok, meng. i thought tomo was cuter in his chubby pic. they should have more diverse body types for next season. i did not clock hiroya's botox😅 ryuki is super cute and omg yes the torso❤ iza is gorge but the lights really don't serve his translucent skin😅 will is also …
Welcome Back Meng 😘😘 missed you
I binged the whole series awhile ago and knew you guys would talk about it😅. I really liked Jobu actually and felt sad when he couldn't seem to find anyone. He also kept being pied by people he tried to date. I quickly got bored of the William/Izaya story after it was clear it w…
I liked this video before watching it haha, glad to see Meng's back!
I tell everyone I would totally date Jobu just to have his mom as my mother-in-law lol she seems so fun and cool. I also really came to like Hiroya over time on the show.
Just curious. When you met Izaya, he was in a long-term relationship that later ended after seven years of being together. He was probably confident then. With William, he was competing, for lack of a better word, with others, like Jobu, who could have taken his dream guy away…
Welcome back Meng!!! We missed you!
I am glad you guys reacted to "The Boyfriend" - Season 2. ✅As someone watching from North America, for me "The Boyfriend" is actually a welcome reprieve from the typical U.S. trashy reality shows with their over-the-top and manufactured drama, negativity, and backstabbing. I enjo…
I just think season 2 is so much more produced and less authentic than season 1, too much of elitism and calculating going on, everyone is putting up a facade makes the show very unrelatable. Maybe except Tomoaki.
Strikes me as a lazy/laid-back/low maintenance lover and I'm here for it. #TeamHuwei
I love the calmness and sincerity of this show. The only thing that I would change is, casting older, have more low key activities that would allow everyone to have one on one dates with someone they might not have chosen so that everyone can get a fair shot at getting to know o…
Thanks for watching S2 and your perspective. (has Meng seen HBO's 'Heated Rivalry' ? [trashy?]). I also really enjoyed S2 ! Mostly Bomi/Huwei (20's young luv) but on rewatch Izaya/Will (30's experience ups/downs).Ryuki had met Huwei 3 times to Bomi's 1 ! Huwei likes the young fac…
Now I wonder, what could have happen if Izaya or William was the one introduce mid show. It could have been a different story. 😮
I am crossing my fingers that someday soon Meng and Andrew come and announce that they are taking a break because....they both found great guys and they have no time for the YouTube gays! Andrew and Meng are both adorable, loving, fun and ready for some good, serious love. I'm …
Could you guys react to Heated Rivalry?
I found this season super annoying 😐😑 - From an outsider looking in they poked fun at the older gay a bit too much for my comfort. - Sure its about boy friends but when you say you're coming to the show to get to know others and they immediately pick one person and chase them …
I finally know my type, it is WILLIAM! i need to study spanish to find my william in south america.
u guys nail it again, great observation and commentation of the show
Bottom cannibalism on the brain, haha. I think the whole show was a bit overengineered this time. Edit: I enjoyed Series 1 much more.
your pov on the over produced/ forced huwei and bomi is 100% spot on ! the show itself isn't realistic (we can't expect people to be REAL in front of cameras & stuck in a house ) but its somewhat fun to watch haha
I found that Izaya and Kazuto (first show) had a similar "karma" and deep look into their eyes. I did find they both had a strong presence by just who they are and not what they did or how they behaved.
And he's back! That's why he was gone for a long time. Hope he's on the way to recovery....
Meng, so mean to Kazuyuki. I think him and Ryuki both were very disadvantaged. If they are going to have older and younger, then they need more guys and of more ages.
ngl i loved hiroya in the show overall (as a TV persona i'll probably never know irl, his looks and personality are really my type from ep 1 to the end), but it was definitely a yellow flag when he was talking about nichome. it's funny because don't particularly enjoy nichome e…
I luv Ryyuki and Huwei in the show...their stolen glances at each other makes my heart skip a beat hehehe
Thanks, guys, for the recap! My biggest gripes with this season come down to casting and production choices as well. It was clear the producers were going for something that ... just didn't completely work. I still enjoyed it, and feel mostly the same as you both do about individ…
I really enjoyed S2, but for some reason, I sort of missed the theme from S1 where there's like no romantic history or entanglement between all the participants. I felt like, the themes for S2 were more on reconnecting with the past and the other being about the struggles of comi…
Jobu IS a total babe and deserves everything 🩷
To me Izaya is such a green flag. Outlines what he asks and is direct about it. You don’t have to guess all the time. And insanely attractive.
