My Stand-In (2024) Episode 2

1. As someone who considers the original novel a favorite guilty pleasure, this series is rather annoying. I don’t mind any of the changes they have made in plot yet, but Ming is tragically miscast. The ML is supposed to be an immature brat because he’s a) 18-20 yo and b) much younger than the MC (Joe). In what world does Up look younger than Poom, nevermind looking like a 20yo? Also, the ML is supposed to be uncommonly pretty, like drop-dead-gorgeous handsome, to the point where everyone is shocked by his looks. And that feeds into his mystique and aloofness when the MC meets him for the first time. Up is handsome in a “boy next door” way, very approachable and cute. I have no problem with Up, I’m sure he’s a good actor, but because of him being so miscast, every time I see him, he completely takes me out of the story.

2. Don’t mind me in the corner, I’m just gonna sit right here, mind my own business and count how many times Joe sneezes U_U

3. Joe’s 🎢 mood swing was hilarious, making his stunt-man trainees very confused 🤣 Ming, Ming, Ming, Ming…… 🤧😅😂

   Ming was jealous of the female lead, makeup artist and Sol. But he didn’t want to have any commitment with Joe. Ouch 😔 when Ming told Joe that he was just a stand in. Joe said Ming only 🥵 him from behind, which meant likely he was imagining him as Tong during their 🔥 time. Ming seemed to have softened after hearing Joe’s conversation with Sol. But I assume even though he moved in with Joe, they were still not a couple yet 🤔 Hope he was not as hard hearted as it seemed to be and he really liked Joe, and didn’t take him as a stand in for Tong only.

4. Joe deserves better than that brat. Ming will just continually use him as a replacement for Tong because he can’t have him and that will just break Joe’s spirit. Present day Joe (in his new body) has a anxiety-induced reaction to seeing Ming and when we see the fallout between them that’s going to give us the reason why.

   Tong and Ming are both alike in that they’re very manipulative in their relationship with others – we see that with Tong at work and we see that when Ming is with Joe. I struggle to see what Ming sees in Tong (omitting the fact that he’s his brother in law) and the same goes for what Joe sees in Ming. Maybe Tong knows about Ming’s feelings, maybe he doesn’t, but the indirect hurt that Ming feels concerning his one sided love for Tong is definitely turning into verbal and emotional abuse towards Joe.

5. What I hate about some BLS happened:* The supposed memory loss.
   Ming’s memory came back to him very quickly as he asked for more…
   This guy, I already hate him!! He is horrible!! Not only does he come to solicit to see a guy who will never love him and on top of that he imposes himself!This guy is SO full of himself! He treats Joe like a “toy, using him for his amusement or pleasure without considering his feelings, autonomy, or well-being. He has a lack of respect and empathy.
   IN ONE fuckking SENTENCE: He dehumanizes JO!
   The only moment where we see a semblance of a smile is when he tries to scratch with Tong who rejects him and avoids him like the plague! ( He really is !!!)
   As exciting as it may be for some… For me it’s an abusive relationship!! I’ve never been as much for an Ex coming back from the dead or whatever as I would like just in this one: Just to knock out this arrogant guy!
   You’d think he’s moving with Jo because he has feelings?? NOPE!! It’s about having control!!
   My poor Jo, you haven’t left the inn!! This is only the beginning and the road will be long and bumpy!!

7. Ming is very manipulative and doesn’t care about Joe’s feelings, he just come to Joe every time because he sees Tong in him…i don’t even feel bad for him when tong ignores ming like SERIOUSLY!!!!

9. What a conniving, manipulative, jealous bra t!

10. Aww man…I can’t stand watching Joe being looked down upon as a stand-in. It’s even worse when being told by someone he likes.

    Personally, I would throw the guy out. Huh! 🙎🏻‍♂️

    🥺 Ugh…the heartbreak 💔 😅 The mood swing…

    😤 Sorry, I’m so pissed. Idk why Joe even bothered to call the jerk. What…why, was it to apologize!?

    Joe melts me. He is the best big brother who looks into his underlings’ interests as a rising star.

    🫶 For the first time in bl history, I don’t mind the 3rd party or ex returning and asking for another chance. Sol has my blessing and support. 🫰

    I like the way Joe let down Sol without trampling the boy’s heart (like the rejects we’ve seen in other bl series). So thoughtful and gentle. praise for being a big brother.

    Sol sure understands his former mentor and bears no malice toward both Joe and Ming.

    I’m glad that Ming was there eavesdropping overhearing this conversation.

    I too wish Sol could’ve come back earlier. Would have saved Joe from Ming’s mistreatment.

    So does anyone watch this ending doubt that Ming has come to his senses after hearing Joe’s meaning of LOVE? Or does anyone think that Ming doesn’t want to lose a stand-in?

11. 22:33, I’m sorry but after the hot scene, the pigeon trying to side-step away from the other pigeon on the wire, only to have it follow right behind made me chuckle so much!

12. Let’s face it. Every male and female would fall for Joe 😍. Ming on the other hand is quite pathetic. He is in love with his sister’s boyfriend. 🤨. Hopefully Joe will wise up soon and become the one to make the rules.

13. Don’t tell anybody about last night POS!! Does he think that it will get to Tong and ruin any chances in his delusional head of them getting together.
    Tong don’t want to do jack and is one lazy a-hole and thinks he’s alllll that.
    I was also rolling my eyes 🙄 at the actress. Who takes a part where they can’t swim 😒seriously. I can’t believe they actually did that scene where the water was barely waist deep 🤣🤣
    What’s with that pathetic look on his face. 😒 He actually had the nerve to ask Joe is he’s bi but its clear as the morning sun that jealous of anyone that’s around Joe. He already likes him and don’t even realize it himself. All that pacing outside looking over the railing wondering where he was.🙄 he’s got it bad alight. That look Ming and Sol gave each other was like oh its on now.
    I wish Joe would speak up for himself and not let that ahole talk to him like that in his own home. Tell him to go f**k himself and get the f**k out of his house.

    I’ve also been trying to wrap my head around the fact that what if he actually got the chance to sleep with Tong 🙄
    He wouldn’t even be able to look his sister in the eye afterwards. 🤦🏼‍♀️ He had a hard time being able to look at her when they had that talk.
