They need to tell us how many days have passed!!

I like it but I'm really confused. How much time has passed. It feels like one day, but I have been looking through the comments and reviews and I think it's possible that there has been huge jumps in time that ... the directors just forgot to mention? Or they think we all have mind-reading skills? If my supposition is right, then the time between the first scene at the bar and the scene with Vee offering to help Mark and friends study, could have been weeks to an entire year. Enough time for Mark to have fallen out of love with Bar and into love with Vee, simply from the memories of their one night encounter. Plot-wise it wouldn't make sense for it to have been a year, but in a later scene with Mark and his two friends on Mark's bed, James says to Mark, "you've been in love with Vee for a whole year." And that had me at a huge WHAT? I thought Mark was in love with Bar, and just yesterday at that?! Because cinomagraphically that is how it seems. Then, that means that when Mark says he's not in love with Bar anymore, it's because he's been in love with Vee for a while now, and when Vee asks what Mark is thinking about and if he can help Mark out, Mark says no because he is in love with Vee and Vee already has a long-time girlfriend.Also, Vee's line, "I feel guily every time I pass you" has more meaning because he has been passing Mark for maybe almost a year (and is still thinking about him. Awe).Also this would make the Ploy-cheating arc make more sense, because cinomagraphically, it seems like it was was literally the next day that Mark and friends see her with another man at the bar, when in actuallity it's been a year with them falling out of love.HOWEVER, that would mean that Vee is all of a sudden jealous of Mark after a year of silence. Further in one scene in this episode, Vee asks mMark, "How can you get rid of your feelings that fast" which could be used to say that the passage of time since their first scene at the bar could have been days, not years. UGH I'm confused

It tears at my heart. And this is the highest of praise. So #$%ing good

It tears at my heart. I want to cry for him, rail at the world and beat my fists upon it's uncaring heart. And this is the highest complement because it is showing the life of someone who is gay living in society as it stand today, and all the sh*t it throws at him on a daily, nay second-ly (every second) of his existance. It is done SO WELL. SO, if you get angry at him for reaching for a better life, one that doesn't throw him under the bus and stomp on him all day, then go out dressed in drag for a week and then come back and watch this show with newly opened eyes.SPOILER WARNING A guy who is gay accidentally discovers a classmate is a fujoshi and she insists she keeps it a secret but because he knows she feels free to be herself around him, meanwhile he watches her and, like me, is fucjing depressed and angry because she is taking his life with no idea for what it is really like and is totally off about what their lives are like, and the things she imagines with her fujisho friend are digusting with him standing right there. I always thought I want all men to experience objectification, but watching that scene, I Couldn’t bear it. It made me sick as it’s intended to (*all this goes to show how INCREDIBLE this show is). but she is also a strong but ignorant defender of gay rights and repsect and has a strong imagination which helps her enjoy fujoshi, and brings a light into ML’s life, and with her imaginatopn that helps him see the good in the world and her adament defense of gay rights, he can and does feel comforatble around her, but he is stuck in a world that rejects him in every instant, including the FL “I don’t know any gays (hes standing right in fromt of you and your shipping of real people could be harmful whether they’re gay or not because it is objectification and could lead to outing, even falsely, someone). Feels fetishizing, and I’m a stolid BL fan/fujoshi, so this review is me the queer, going through a mid life crisis about my media choices. For me it was a way to imagine your peers as softer people, based on the assumption they would have to be more vulnerable to be with someone of the same gender but also living closer to the female experience and therefore more sympathetic to Fems, but that’s wishful thinking. Anyways, back to the review...But because of having to hide it though every little comment, action, and even thought of those around him stab deeper at the festering wound that can never heal as long as he is gay (For his whole life). I want to be normal after watching his reality, and he wants to be normal to have all the things he wants but could only get in this society if he was straight or denying who he was, so he agrees to go out with her. Maybe he can erase the gay and make his mom happy all at the same time
