I had been holding back and didn't want to make any comments about spoilers, but after brushing the cooked meat again and watching the highlight clips of raw meat again, I think I still need to discuss this drama, so please haven't watched the drama yet. Those who detour first. (Of course it’s okay to have a general idea)
First let me tell you why I resonate so much with this show. I also came out to my family and friends at the age of 16, and my parents were separated at that time, but they didn't have a family. Then I had a girl in school who liked me, and I had a boy I liked. So I can understand Victor's feeling that the sky is falling, and my situation was worse than his, not only from the attitude of others, but also from my own fear. I don't have a community like Victor to guide me, and of course I am more careful, so there are not so many dramas in the show, I just have myself and my days that feel endless. Someone asked me after I came out if I had thought about suicide, of course I did, but I still don't have that guts. So in the end I couldn't take it anymore and I became who I wanted to be. And the results were much better than I expected. Although my parents would occasionally live in denial, they did not object to my choice of such a life. Now I can even discuss these topics directly with them. Then the best friends I played with also expressed understanding and even support, both boys and girls. Overall I'm very, very lucky because I've had so many horrible cases around me, the worst of which involved psychiatric treatment. So although I strongly support being myself, I still understand those who choose to hide themselves, but this drama also tells you, whether it is bold to be yourself or choose to hide, what should erupt will always be its own. ways to affect your life.
First, I want to start with the show, which is Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli (and the sequel, Leah on the Offbeat)
It's a little different from the movie version, the original doesn't have so many glamorous epic clips, and although it's been made closer to the original, a little change does make a big difference. Simon in the original book is much more timid than the one played by Nick. I don't know if it's because there are more descriptions of psychological activities. You can feel that the environment he is in is not so open and free, but in all the different places. , the original and the movie ending are completely two directions. After Simon was forced to come out of the closet, the original Simon did not write an open letter to Blue (Bram), he sent a private message to Blue alone, and Bram did not decide to cut off contact with Simon as in the movie at the beginning. They That's how they got together, and later they changed their relationship status on Facebook together before it was made public. In the end, Simon and Bram were lying on Simon's bed together, kissing, and Simon hoped that they could continue like this. I think the movie version is also very good and meets the needs of the movie, but it really lacks a little realism and is too idealistic, a bit like Simon in the sequel, completely letting himself go. . .
Now on to this spin-off.
At first, I didn't trust this casting very much, and said it was produced by Disney, but put it on Hulu. But after watching it, I think my worries are unnecessary, Benji is as handsome as I imagined, and Victor looks better and better, especially in the dark light, his skin color and facial features are really amazing.
During Victor's search for himself, he also hurt a lot of people, such as Mia, and Benji, but a strong kiss is okay!
But like I said, we can't escape ourselves after all, we want to become who we are destined to be, whether we hide it or speak it out, everyone chooses different, and their fate is different. But choosing to be ourselves and not deceiving others is the greatest thing we can do. So even if it's the main cp, I'm still angry that Victor hurt Mia because it's avoidable and there's no excuse. Of course, Mia still learned the truth through a more painful way, which can be regarded as a relief. Please don't go black in the second season. . .
Some people say they prefer vice cp, I admit, less drama, more fun, but this is a drama that explores oneself, we should not watch this drama with a magnifying glass and the mentality of watching Korean dramas and Thai dramas. Although I will also complain that the time they spend together is really small, but at least Victor came out at the end, so don't complain about the slow progress here. As for him in the show, it's half the semester, what the hell are you? How quickly do you want people to come out of the closet? Also, I like episode 8 very much. Don't make me embarrassed if you don't understand rainbow culture. You and I are not qualified to comment on the things that people are fighting for with their lives, and that's what Victor needs to learn. (Nick also made a surprise appearance in episode 8)
The finale should still be to bury some foreshadowing. As it is, the renewal of this drama is absolute, but it will take a long time to know when it will be filmed, and I will continue to pay attention to the update.
Finally, a word to those who are still confused or sad, do what makes you happy, sometimes support and excitement need to be found by yourself, and they must be there for you.
