Careful Nuer, Daddy doesn't like back-talk.

And Sin seems the type to mercilessly edge his man for hours if provoked.

The problem the first series had was that 12 episodes was too long for the story it wanted to tell, it started strong and with charm but the charm can only take you so far, it got a bit boring here and there.

Because I continue to be very unsure and I don’t know if it’s because the show tried too hard at first to make the audience distrust Nuer and now I’m still waiting for a shoe to drop that was never hanging or if there is still a reveal we’re waiting on?

I mean they’re the third couple, it’s entirely possible that this is their story right? Nuer liked Kuea and Syn liked Nuer. Syn tries to stop Nuer from liking Kuea, he thinks for religious reasons, but it’s actually cause Syn likes Nuer. Nuer falls for Syn.

It’s enough of a story for a third couple, but I don’t know I still feel uneasy.

I never thought there was anything beyond 'Nuew has crush on Kuea, Nuer realizes he likes Syn instead, Nuer goes after Syn but in his own way' so maybe I'm not the right one to ask?

I was hoping for a Semantic Error kinda plot with them but they went a lot lighter and more gentle.

But, yeah, I think that's really all we're gonna get. They're a tertiary couple who have been soft and slow this entire time without a lick of heart or a lick of real depth.

Keep in mind that this show is showing up three couples are very different points in their relationship coming together in different ways and that's really one of their highest strengths.

So it makes sense that NuerSyn will mostly just be soft and slow and gentle. They're the only ones who can communicate and they're starting a relationship without any baggage, unlike YiDiao and LianKuea. They're fresh faces, fresh love, new starts.

But, again, I had no expectations and no thoughts on them like that. There just isn't space in the current narrative for high drama from them. It'd feel very out of place with the rest of the show and the way it's been shared. At least for me.

I don't expect a second shoe but I, honestly, never expected a first shoe. They're just two boys learning what it means to love and discovering each other and Nuer was never deeply attached to Kuea, just thought he was cute and funny and generally attractive.

Now, might we get a hint at the second shoe with Kuea dropping his engagement with Lian and trying to make it 'official' by going after Nuer instead to prove that he's really breaking the engagement? We might. But... two episodes? Meh. I'm not sure of it. But I won't count it out.
