Fahlanruk (Thunder Love)


    This is a shit show. I have no idea why any of us sat through this. Well, I take that back. I know exactly why I sat through this. Ping. The sole saving grace in this entire dumpster fire. 

There is repeated violence, all of which is completely unnecessary and just ridiculous. 

I don't even feel like writing a review of it TBH. The in-depth reviews are not going to continue past the few episodes I've done.

1/10


Spoilers Ahead. Do not click anything inside this box if you don't want spoilers. Below are my musings and ramblings about everything that happens in each episode.

Episode One (click to expand)
The episode starts with a very rich-looking gay man being draped in women. Bruce Wayne of BLs if you will.

We're already at a sex scene. 2:25 on the timestamp and they really got right to the point. Okay. Wait a hot minute. We have TWO sex scenes. Happening at the same time. Well then. I guess the tone of this show is pretty clear. lmao.

The long-haired dude has a pretty smile. >____>

Okay, so I think I've already got the gist of the plot. The long-haired boy is a whore who only has one-night stands. The rich boy is a whore who has multiple boys he calls upon whenever he feels like it, but he's essentially a ghost if they try to reach out to him. We'll circle back on this later.

The next day. We're at school. Holy smokes, this boy is cute. Who is HE?
We learn from this group of gabby gals that the Rich boy's name is Fahlan. He has a boyfriend who is younger, a secret, and is NOT who he was having sex with last night. Scandalous.

Snap crackle pop! Our whores have collided. So, revisiting my earlier theory. We have long-haired beau who doesn't date. Rich hoe who dates but has a ton of sex with people who aren't his boyfriend. Rich bitch is gonna go hard after the long-haired guy, win him over, and then ghost him. Breaks his heart. Bet.

Well, Fah is definitely smitten. Already scolding himself for not hitting on him before he left. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. So is Mr adorable ass smile. Over here holding his chest and catching his breath. How fucking cute is this shit?!

Another cutey. Ohhhh... Is this our side couple?! I hope neither of them is the boyfriend of Fah. That could get messy.

Lmao. The total babe from earlier just got his balls crushed by some chick on a bike. Ouchy. His name is Tar and he's hot, even in the fetal position. The chick who crushed his baby bits is his friend and she's obsessed with Fah. He tells her he has news about him and she totally goes from caring that he was injured to calling him a baby and telling him to suck it up so he can tell her what's going on. I love her.

He tells her all about Fahlan being caught with some guy last night, thinking that this will upset her(getting jealous of Fah vibes a bit from Tar), and she ends up being totally into it. Just not happy with the guy he was with? She has someone specific in mind. Ohh.

THE ABSOLUTE FLOOF ON MY SCREEN RIGHT NOW OH MY GOD
I am in love with him. Everyone else can go home. Oof. He face planted... Aw. They walked past him. RUDE.

My cute fluff ball is named PING(My mind is now singing PingPong by Hyuna and Dawn and probably will every single time someone says his name), and he's Fah's cover for being a bad man. I dunno if I can get behind this, my love. Tell his boyfriend he's a whore so we can move on with the story. xD

Ping messed up and told the boyfriend that Fah wasn't with him last night, but Fah doesn't seem phased. I take it that his boyfriend isn't really the type to get upset.

Oh no. Fah is still thinking about our long-haired beauty. I swear if he hurts this man I'm going to get stabby.

Ping is hella nosy and I fear for his life. Lol.

I was completely tuned out when they introduced the other friend so we'll call him... Coffee Bringer. So, Ping and Coffee Bringer give Fah a hard time about the fact that for the entire walk he's been talking to himself about some random guy they've never met. Fah denies anything and tells them to mind their business.

Long-haired dude walks into class and breaks up the love fest happening with what I'm even more sure now is a side couple. Gear and ... Silly boo? Did he really just call that grown man silly boo? Okay, we're rolling with it. He has no name. He is silly boo now.

Ohhh. The long-haired babe is named Sher. Well, he can for Sher get it. Giggity.

Sher is kind of a butthead, but in a way that I love. He's teasing silly boo about Gear's very obvious crush on him. Though, if you were anyone in this room you would think it was Sher who was really in love with S.B., and Gear is pretty visibly disheartened by it.
That's what she said...

*ahem* I apologize for my unnecessary outburst.

Fah stands his friends up, and goes to the music department to try to find Sher, but ends up running into a guy who knows his boyfriend... who also goes to college for music? This doesn't seem like a good idea dude...

Oh, the boyfriend is not at all what I expected when they said a younger guy. I expected small and adorable, kinda like Ping... Oh fucking hell, of COURSE, the way he gets out of being in trouble with his boyfriend is to gaslight and turn everything around, before the boyfriend can even say anything.

Fah asks him why he didn't try to call him at all today, says he's acting different, and accuses HIM of cheating. Yo, Fah. You dropped these.
Oop. Fah may be a prick but he wasn't wrong about the boyfriend having a secret fling also. I'm really not sure why Fah and this kid are together, they're both cheating on each other. What's the point?

Aw. Sher with the assist! Look at him trying to make a love connection. Appreciate your friend trying to play matchmaker here SB. Get yourself in Gear. hahahahhahahaha. I really need to stop.

PING HAS A CRUSH ON THE COFFEE BRINGER!? Two side couples?! Can I get that lucky?

I think I figured it out. Fah is with his bf because he has big titties and bf is with Fah because he's rich. Makes sense.

NO SHER DON'T DAYDREAM ABOUT FAH. Fuck. He's down bad, and I am scared for his well-being.

Oh god, damn it. They are at the same bar now.

The episode just ended so abruptly... One look in each other's direction and then credit? Okay. lol
Episode Two (click to expand)
The tension is already extreme the moment the show starts. Sher makes his way off stage, and over to a girl sitting at Fah's table, he makes sure to loudly tell her he's going to use the bathroom and touches Fah's shoulder on his way past.

I don't even have to wait for the scene, he's about to get up and go fuck that boy right in the public bathroom.

IYKYK LMAO

God damn Sher. He said he wanted to get to know YOU, not your tongue. Ugh, now you've been seen by Tar. You guys are sloppy cheaters. There ya go, in the stall. OOF... Just going in dry I guess. Jesus Christ.

None of that was sexy. How was that the final take? It looked like he was just bouncing on his heels LMAO Sher you deserve better than unrhythmic rutting in a bathroom stall...

I'm not really sure what the point of Tar and this girl are? I know we need side characters to help move the story along but besides the play, they're putting on, they've had no interactions with the leads that were necessary to the story. Maybe they will have a bigger part later.

Somehow on this giant campus where these two have never met before, they end up at the same place getting ice cream from a food truck that isn't near either of their department buildings. Sure. I'll believe that.

ISTG if he uses SB as a fake bf to make Fah back off I'm gonna kick him.

Oh okay, that was subtle. I'm not mad.

Wait, Sher is short for SHERBET ?! Why are all these names adorable? I can't.

I really do enjoy the friendship between Ping, Coffee bringer(I already forgot his name), and Fah. Even though Fah is a trash character, his friends are supportive nice guys. Maybe they'll rub off on him.

Ew. He just excused his cheating with "So what? I'm a hot guy." Okay.

Please stand by for your specially scheduled product placement.

Fah surely doesn't give a single shit about his boyfriend. He needs to let that boy go. I don't understand keeping the tie if you're so serious about pursuing someone else.

And... they ran into each other yet again. At a members-only club, that Sher isn't even a part of. Yeah...

Flirting masked as insults. Sher is my kind of bratty little shithead.

OH MY GOD. He undid Fah's pants, took him by the wrist, guided his hand inside, and told him to help himself. I think that was the smoothest "Go fuck yourself" I've ever seen.

Sher is apparently a giant baby when he's upset. Drinking, screaming, and causing a scene. I didn't see that coming. He's been otherwise calm and fun.

I can't tell if Fah is genuinely worried about him or just really wants to have another go, but he looks anxious as hell watching Sher stumble around. I don't get caring vibes from him in general so whatever this is seems self-serving.

Hm. Ping and Coffee bringer aren't a couple I really see working out.. but their friendship is hella cute. Ping is like nah... leave all your stuff here, all the time. Move in. I'm not going to stop any of this, I just want to live inside my fantasy until it bursts. lol

The disgust in Sher's voice every time he flirts with Fah is so funny.

He really just wrapped both his hands around Shar's neck. O____O
Me next papi. LMAO jk. I hate you.

These bed scenes are kinda awkward. Neither of them genuinely looks like they're enjoying themselves, it's sloppy and weird. Okay, it got a little better at the end there.

Sher is so mad at himself for having a second night with Fah. Lol. He's being so rude at breakfast, but he's drawing clear boundaries and I can tell Fah can't stand it.

SB and Gear are cuter than hell. This is definitely going to be another show in a long list where the side couples are just better.

"Friends who fuck." Okay. I guess they are finding a middle ground and compromising. 

Another abrupt ending to this episode, what is with that???
Episode Three (click to expand)
We started the episode where we left off, with Sherbie trying so hard to not like the fact that Fah said "friends that fuck" in a sexy way but failing horribly.

Hahaha. These two are so mean to each other. "You suck." - "I suck? You slept with me twice. Ohhhh. Fahlan! Fahlan!" Lol. It's always nice to see the look on a rich boy's face the first time someone doesn't kiss up to them and act like they're perfect at everything. Genuine shock.

From what I've seen of their bed scenes though, he isn't wrong. Fahlan has no skills in the bedroom at all.

This pairing is growing on me. Even though Fah is trash, maybe he'll turn out to be a decent person the more he starts to care about someone for real? Though, I have little faith in him.

Fah really has no understanding of personal space or consent. Just grabbing and kissing with no warning, someone who very obviously doesn't like it. What a douche canoe.
I can't tell if he's fishing or genuinely oblivious. Poor Ping. In love with a dumbass. Happens to the best of us. Oh, and his name is Tap. I can stop calling him a coffee bringer now.

Nothing of significance has happened over the past few minutes. More of Sher pushing Gear at SB and Tar trying to understand BL babe's deal. Fahlan day dreaming about Sher. The friends are prying. Same scenes with different dialog. zzzz.

BL lady has spies taking pics of Fahlan and Sherb making out. Lol. Little minions are doing the absolute most.

Fah leaves his canteen to go to the music department and find Sher. He sits down with him, completely oblivious to the fact that... that isn't Sher. He compliments him on his "new look." I want to facepalm so bad.

Jesus Christ. He told him he can "Swallow him whole." I guess that's one way to introduce yourself to the family. "Make you moan like last night.' For fuck's sake.

Sher is loving every minute of this though. He joins the table with the biggest smile on his face. What a brat.
His brother is just as sassy. Maybe even more so. I hope he plays a decent role in this story because these two tag teaming Fah with insults would be the highlight of the show.

Excuse me. Simp break.
Ahhhhhhhhh. The smirk. sldkfj;alsdkjf;alskdjf

Okay, back to the show.

I really don't understand why Sher keeps giving in to Fah's aggression. I know that if someone puts me in a headlock trying to get my number. I'm calling the police. There's nothing cute about this.

"I'm not a player." Proceeds to explain why it's perfectly fine if his boyfriend sees a photo online of him with another man that he's sleeping with. Okay...
I thought he was about to send Sher a dick pic. LMAO.

He tells Sher to save him a seat at his reserved table. Tell, not ask. Sher obviously does, because this man has no ability to spot the walking red flag, but whatever.

Fah shows up at the bar and is almost instantly hit on by some girl. He's not feeling it so he goes outside to wait for Sher to finish his set.

Uh-oh. Boyfriend walks by. Right into another guy's arms.

The episode ends. Fah is going to throw a huge tantrum over this, even though he's doing the exact same thing. *eye roll*
Episode Four (click to expand)
Alright, let's see how Tle plays this off and acts like this guy hugging him is just his buddy. lol.

Oof. Nope. The guy straight-up ruined that plan of action. Haha.

I was not expecting Fah to be so chill about this, but apparently, he's known for a while.

I have to give Fah props for how maturely he handled that entirely. Taking the blame for the entire situation.

I can not figure out who Sher really is as a person. In one scene he's sassy, distant, and annoyed by everything Fah does, and in the next he's, unprompted, giving him what is essentially a very public lap dance.

Sher has a very severe drinking problem and I hope that whatever Fah ends up being in his life it makes that stop because it's hard to watch.

Now that Fah is single, he's also completely different? Instead of forcing Sher to do what he wants, he's cutely begging him for it. Which is a much better approach, so long as he doesn't start to be manipulative with it.

For someone who wants to keep his private life away from his new FWB, Sher is also pretty fucking nosy. lol.

Don't you invite him into the shower with those sexy eyes, Sher. I can't handle the shower scene right now.
Ahhh. It's cute. Too cute.

I WANT THIS SHOWER.
Do FWB normally dry each other's hair? I've never been that chummy with any of mine. lmao.

If Sher really is the first person Fah has brought to his actual home, I'd be a little surprised. I understand that his boys would never have been, but I doubt Tle was his first relationship and none of them meant anything to him? Unlikely. You don't get jaded without having a story.

I am with Sher. We're not that naive, Fah! lol

Fuck. I STG Fah if you are playing with him. I'm going to come through my screen. He wants to believe you when you say he's special and you better fucking mean it. -.-

I think I'm too invested already. lol.

I don't see Sher being coordinated enough to play basketball. I hope they show us that.

Now they're comparing dick sizes? That's not even a metaphor, I wish it was.

Lmao. Ping is going to get his ass kicked if he keeps messing with Fah.

Yesssssss. Sher really is a great wingman. Finding ways to get Gear and SB together all the time.

He's dropping his walls really quickly. SB is worried for him. There's obviously past trauma he's aware of that we aren't. They're trying to make us view this as jealousy, but it's clearly just concern.
Same, Ping. Same.

So wait, why did he have to rush to class just to fall asleep?

I'm so confused, the episode is over and the preview for next week has Sher straight back to being distant and bitchy. I'm all for it but I'm getting whiplash over here.
Episode Five (click to expand)
Sher is back to sleeping with strangers and only having one-night stands? Or is this a flashback? No idea. Never addressed.

I don't like the way they are really pushing Ping to be nosy about Fah's love life. It's unnatural. Friends often pry into who you're crushing on and such, but he's doing it in such a way that makes him seem angry and it just doesn't make any sense.

See the other friend asks in a way that's realistic. ( why can't I ever remember his name)

Aw. Fah admitted to them that he likes Sher differently than his previous bfs/flings.

I like how Ping keeps pushing the narrative that Sher is absolutely not acting like Fah is just a friend he sleeps with and that he needs to be sure about how he moves forward. Fah isn't going to listen but his friends are genuinely good people who don't want to see either party hurt from their equally ridiculous avoidance issues.

I don't know what it is about this character that bothers me. He seems like one of those characters who gets so desperate they try to sabotage the main couple. Take your water and shove it, dude.

These friends are on POINT! You can tell him SB. Don't go acting like people are special to you unless you intend to follow through with it!

Smooth Gear. It was perfectly unsubtle. Maybe he'll get the hint.

Pink sees her opportunity and grabs it. She may want Fah with Shar but she isn't going to say no to going to dinner with him alone. I love opportunists.

Sher needs to change his screen protector. That is gross man. lol.

Is that the guy we saw looking oddly at Sher's brother? I can't tell but it looks like him.

Jesus. I need Sher to be my wingman. He is hella good at creating opportunities for two people to be together.

Sher is really having a hard time with the fact that he likes Fah. :( But I dunno what they expected to happen, they spent the first three episodes love-bombing each other, with a side of sarcasm and snarkiness.

These two need to be honest with themselves so they can be honest with each other. I'd like to move the fuck on with the story.

Legitimately 90% of this show is just pining over someone else.

Uh. Fah you may want to get your blood pressure monitored because I love veiny arms but that looks dangerous.

Of course, Sher is getting drunk.

"I've been in love for a long time," Ping says to his crush, right before that same crush invites him to go third wheel his DATE. Bastard. YOU BETTER NOT HURT MY FLUFFY BUNS.

I can't watch Ping be sad. omfg. Nooooooo. I'm gonna cry.

DON'T AGREE TO GO. lskdjfalskjdf. Tap you're an oblivious dipshit. -.-

Good, a distraction. Sher is at the same club (because of course he is) and he's drunk af.

WHY DO THESE EPISODES END SO SUDDENLY?!
Episode Six (click to expand)
We left off with Sher drunk as hell at the club and Ping calling Fah to come get him.

Sher is so bitchy when he's drunk. lol.

This episode is going to be everyone being sad about their one-sided feelings, and I really can't take Ping's sad puppy dog eyes.

SB and Gear are probably the cutest, most natural coupling on this show and I hope they have the best relationship without any drama.

Fah is now getting annoyingly drunk. Why is everyone in this show gross when they're drunk? lol It's like no character has their own personality.

Be aggressive as hell, that is how you show him he's safe to trust you. Smart.

This is all sad, sweet, and really gross. Lmao. Crying while kissing. Yuck.

Tim, tan, trip ... what the fuck was this guy's name again? She invited him to stay the night and he looks all happy but I bet he can't do it. lol

I hate nothing more in tv than the stupid recaps of things that JUST happened. I understand they want us to see the characters' thoughts but it's so overdone.

Tap, his name is Tap and he slept in the hallway all night because he couldn't bring himself to sleep with her.

Saw that coming, and also saw the fact that he's going to chalk it up to him having noticed Ping was upset about something and that being a priority was because he's a good friend, not because he likes him.

Filming Sher and his twin fight was done really poorly but it was hilarious.

Fah and Sher are giving me whiplash. Their ability to turn any sentence the other says into something flirtatious is commendable.

Oh. Memory loss. Haven't seen that in a BL in a while.

IS HE GOING TO GIVE DATING A CHANCE?! His brother really smacked some sense into him. Hah.

LMAO. Oh man, Gear. Way to just throw it all out there, if SB doesn't get it now, there's no hope.

Gag. These two are way too cute for having just fought the night before.
Sher gets it.

This episode was weird. It felt very soap opera-y.
