Is this technically a gay show? Even after getting through the whole thing, that's still kind of tricky to answer. There's never any physical intimacy shown between the two leads, not even a single kiss. What it gives you instead is something that goes way deeper than that. It traces an emotional bond that spans a full decade between two guys who are both dealing with their own baggage, and what they share basically amounts to being soulmates. The story moves across Japan, South Korea, and Berlin. Honestly, whether people want to call what they have a romantic relationship or not doesn't really matter to me. A relationship doesn't need a label like boyfriends attached to it to actually mean something. And closeness doesn't need to be physical to feel genuine. What this show captures is something quieter but way more powerful, a bond rooted in understanding, respect, and just showing up for each other. Across eight episodes, each running 35 to 45 minutes, this is one...
Seb and Gabe are ow happily married but this season starts with Gabe getting attacked, while Seb is out in Mexico. When he. Comes back, he finds out that Gabe has amnesia, has lost his memory to certain extent and is. Now about to marry a girl. He tries to interfere the wedding but when he realizes that Gabe doesn't remember anything, he pulls back. He then gets himself hired as one of the bodyguards for Gabe and every time Gabe sees and touches Seb, he feels deja vu, as of he knows this man from somewhere. Meanwhile Gabe's wife wants to have sex with him but he keeps avoiding the situation and in th process keeps coming closer to Seb and spending more time with him. Meanwhile, one of Seb's assistant takes care of the wife's physical needs. The guy also ships Seb and Gabe (not knowing about their past) and nicknames them Sebriel. Anyway the show proceeds in a manner where the more time the two spend with one another, the more Gabe feels strong connection to Seb. But the villains are still out there to get them, notable the Romano mafia head (who happens to be Seb's uncle) and also Gabe's father and his wife (who is Italian mafia). Of course all is well in the end, when Gabe gets back all his memory when Seb gets shot by mafia but an older lady who has been helping out Gabe in his restaurant comes to the rescue. Lo Behold, turns out this lady is Seb's mother, who, as per Seb's uncle was dead. The happy couple are back together and bad guys get the boot.
This season has every trope from the first season with the added drama of Gabe's amnesia. He remembers some things from past but not all. I did like that he would get flashbacks every tie he was near Seb or touched him. So it was almost like watching Gabe and Seb fall in love all over again. The two actors felt more in their character this season which is understandable since they have lived it once. They still had great chemistry and both of them really look very fine and hot and sexy. We still get a few good kisses. Also, I liked the comic relief brought by Seb's good looking assistant who names them Sebriel. He was kinda cute. Overall, strictly ok, just like its predecessor. At least it was not stretched unnecessarily. (4.5/10)
