愛愛內含光
Watch: https://www.netflix.com/watch/81719008 | 幕後花絮
Sound track, I recognized 潮州土狗's Hokkien rap which is a nice surprise!
Fun facts:
I watched this in one go, all episodes.
Some redditors said that they weren't prepared for the graphic nature of the show, but I really love it.
The stories revolve around sex, reparing and growth.
Spoilers below!!!
曖曖 runs a sex ed YouTube channel called 愛愛內含光, work as a hair removal specialist in the day, and hook up with countless hot guys at night. She always thought she could separate sex and her feelings, and she set rules to keep things that way. It was at a rare occasion that she was questioned about her ability to love, and she began to think about where that came from - childhood trauma, fear of abondonment from her father. After overhearing how her dad tried to the relationship with her mom, she decided to memd the relationship with her formally-strictly-sex-only non-exclusive fake boyfriend, admitting that what she did wasn't fair - pushing him away, hurting him, always playing cold.
How the older generation view gays, sex, family values.
Issues with sex. Masturbating on marriage anniverary. Loss of desire. One sided. Overly attached.
All kinds of family issues.
The characters in the show are incredible diverse. 有年老的外省人，small international business owners struggling to make ends meet and trying not to let his wife worry, underground casino owners and players, literature professor who wears a collared shirt with a non-v-neck sweater, half Asian, gays, bisexuals, male and female sex workers, motorcycle shop owner with a rare syndrome, female student who tried to seduce her professor while he was having a fight with his wife.
The scene I love the most is this: 曖曖 said fuck you to his fake boyfriend, who finished drinking the bear, then carried her to the bedroom, and stripped her shorts in the process, and threw her on the bed. 曖曖 then pretended to protest the move. Her fake bf seeks every opportunity for have sex with her, taking her words at face value.
