      @RomanDiaries 4 роки тому +154

      @@lilycarp.17 Right? It'd be super misleading if they put that in and still had her relationship with the guy get sexual. The trailer doesn't make the show seem sexualized in the first place, so I'd be shocked if it went down that path. On top of that, the writer/director/producer is a lesbian and the MC seems to be partly based on her.
      Also it'd be annoying; the world needs more platonic girl/boy friendships, not every MC has to hook up with the MC of the opposite sex.

There is a show where the main guy is brown and the whole show is him dating white girls. You just see what you want to see (or in this case, DON'T want to see).

    Everyone thought this was gonna be like that awful Sierra Burgess movie except with lesbians but this looks fantastic. A movie for young people focusing on the importance of friendship and how platonic love is just as important as romantic love? A movie giving the main character role to an Asian lesbian? Practically unheard of, especially for Netflix. I'm definitely looking forward to this.

    Okay, i highkey thought this was about a nerdy asian girl who becomes a tutor for a jock and falls in love, like that kind of trash. Then, this trailer took a whole other turn. An Asian-American lesbian lead, for teenagers, like where the hell does one find that. I know it looks just like Sierra Burgess, but I feel like we should give it a chance, and I'm honestly so excited for this level of representation. Also, a male and female friendship is being put on screen without any romantic elements, though she is lesbian which happens to be almost every non romantic male and female friendship, one of them is always gay but still a great step.

The way that she gets bullied because of her last name (something that I, as an asian can also really relate to), the way that he says "I'm so stupid" after she reveals that she's in love with the same girl instead of getting angry , being a 17 year old who's different in a small town and thinking that you don't need anyone else??

    This movie needs a continuation, called "the other half of it", that's how good it is, Elle Chu needs to pick where she left with astra two years time, according to the timeline of the movie.

      I think the other half of it should be about guys, probably the guy lead falling in love with a gay guy or something. That would be an interesting sequel.
