Nothing Special
Why I thought this special episode would be any better than the series is anybody's guess, but I can assure you it's not. It's not worse exactly, just pointless unless you're looking for some NSFW action. It adds nothing to the story and is yet another addition to the list of dramas that don't seem to understand that time passing should equal change.
The special picks up three years after the end of the series. Not that it feels like three years because almost nothing has changed, at least nothing that we're allowed to see. There's essentially no update on the character's lives. Sky appears to still be an intern, although I thought it was mentioned at some point that he had only a year left. Either way, he's apparently still at the hospital and has not yet opened his own clinic. What's Venus been up to? Who knows. How's Janus and Bom's convenience store? Who knows. What about Tong and Kla, are they still going strong after Tong's year abroad? They're not even mentioned, much less seen. How's Day doing? No idea. He's mentioned once and never again. So what does happen in this "special" episode? Well, nothing particularly exciting.
Sky gets sick and while putting his paperwork away while he's sleeping, Venus comes across a bottle of vitamins in his bag with a love note attached. So naturally, he waits for Sky to wake up and they have a conversation like the adults they are, right? Of course not. Venus leaves his sick lover to fend for himself and returns to his brother's home. And like in Episode 1 of the series, the following morning he comes upon Janus and Bom doing the deed over the dining room table with Janus in cat ears and a collar, meowing. I get some people have kinks like that and more power to them, but frankly that scene was just weird and uncomfortable to watch for me. Both Bom and Janus notice something is off and take turns asking Venus what's going on, Janus predictably obtuse and saying the wrong thing and Bom giving a speech about how after being together for a while things change. Sky, still sick, shows up, and despite Venus telling them to say he's not home, Janus spills the beans. Sky and Venus finally sit down and talk though Venus is annoyingly vague and just accuses Sky of cheating on him. Sky has to wheedle the truth out of him that this is all about the note and vitamins found in his bag and, as it predictably turns out, they were not for him, but were in fact from Day's lover to Day and the nurse accidentally put them in the wrong bag. Sky is weirdly excited that Venus was jealous and Venus is still kind of pouty, but relieved. And because Sky gave Venus a sponge bath when he was sick in the series, naturally Venus must give Sky a sponge bath after which Sky is feeling much better, well enough to seduce his all too willing lover and that's where things end, with the two of them f*****g each other's brains out. Romantic. Honestly, I kept waiting for Janus and Bom to either walk in on them or be watching through the window. I'm not sure if I'm thankful or disappointed that neither happened. It would have been a much more entertaining conclusion though.
And that's it. There's no character development, no real continuation, the focus really is on the fact that these guys are all apparently very horny. It's a disappointing special episode for an equally disappointing series. Don't waste your time.
