Customized Companion dropped it halfway through, I guess it was too much creepy/disturbing so I didn't feel like continuing, with the way technology is going it does feel like this might happen in the futur, while i dont care about that cheater. is the happy ending can be considered a happy ending? idk

It actually gets worse in horror department if you want a spoiler for that. As for the ending its kind of bittersweet, but I full on feel like is definitely a sad ending. Because of the hidden horror element that lead the ending.

Okay here we go. Strap in! I don’t know where you ended so forgive me if I back up to far. So main guy downloads his 'companion' and his boyfriend starts noticing him pull away and also hears an advertisement for the ai companion and grabs his phone while cheater is sleeping. (Whoever touches an owners phone can suddenly see that owners companion). At first he ignores is, then cheater starts noticing him talking to himself so ends up touching his phone too. Then a montage of them ignoring each other to be with their companions. Then, out of no where, cheater's companion tells him he can be real if he gets his boyfriends DNA and KILLS him. Cheater has some morals and refuses, but companion keeps hinting at getting the deed done so they can be together forever. (giving myself chills) then cheater starts to notice things with his DNA are missing. His companion starts whispering in his ear that he overheard boyfriend planning with his own companion to kill him. Cheater actually tried to murder boyfriend when boyfriends companion stops him and then it comes to light that cheaters companion planned it all to get cheater to kill boyfriend. They both end up deleting their companions and splitting up permanently in a sad but peaceful way. The end.

No problem πŸ‘Œ With these kinds of plots, it's always more fun to explain than to watch so this improved my experience 😁

I'd not heard of this one before. It does indeed sound creepy/disturbing - and if I understand right, more gay-themed sci-fi-ish psychological drama than BL in the usual sense?

so long as smoking remains main part of Thai and Chinese culture.

There's a big ingredient to this which is missing from your discussion: the huge smoking gender gap in East Asia.

For example: "While Indonesia and China ... are among the countries with the highest prevalence of tobacco smoking among the male population at 73 percent and 44 percent, respectively, the smoking rate among women in both countries is among the lowest in the world at 1.8 and 1.4 percent." (Source: Statista.com, "Asia's Astonishing Gender Gap in Smoking Rates", May 20, 2025)

Let that sink in! While the gender gap in these two countries is particularly extreme, it's similar throughout East Asia, including Thailand.

Thus, smoking is seen as very much a male/macho thing and un-ladylike - and likewise in BL, one could extend this to cultural perceptions of what is seme and what is uke.

In Western countries, in contrast, smoking these days isn't associated with gender, and in quite a few Western countries, the smoking rate among women is higher.

Indie Art Girl:

Same with drinking/drunkenness. It's waaay overdone and overrated. I swear if some of us were to drink as many bottles on the table as I can count, we'd be dead!

Absolutely. Also disgusting and a major turn-off - and I find Korea's toxic culture of forced drinking particularly disturbing.

Thankfully, this has been dramatically declining in Japan (per good article in South China Post: "Nearly 44 per cent of Japanese in their twenties never drink alcohol."

I finally got the chance to sit and watch the 1 hr 22 min final episode of Ticket to Heaven. the entire series was definitely a masterpiece and deserving of all the praise it has received and still yet to come; hopefully many awards as well. They definitely got me with the twist in the story though from the opening scene and the resolution in the final episode. I had a couple of my own theories where it might end up from that opening scene but neither happened.

For me personally, while the finale was a clean and sweet execution that delivered some endearing moments, the way the story picks up from the end of ep 5 and carries into the bulk of the finale felt overly cautious. It didn't feel rushed to me, but the storyline felt too carefully handled, leaving me feeling deprived of the hard-hitting tension and raw struggles that the first five episodes had so perfectly built up to that point.

They played it too safe right when it should have gone deep, the ending ultimately missed out on the heavy emotional payoff the series had earned and that I expected would be there, leaving me with a lingering sense of hollowness. After delivering such a raw, real, and gritty execution for most of its run, turning around and serving a typical, neat GMMtv formulaic ending felt like a missed opportunity to truly punctuate the story.

This is just me personally wanting the series to have gone further and given me short-term emotional trauma heading into the finale lol. I really wanted this series to give me the ride that I got akin to the Until We Meet Again series, where the emotional stakes are devastating before the payoff. The fact that I didn't get this in no way diminishes what the series did give us; just my personal desired expectations. I still maintain that it is a genuine masterpiece that everyone should watch. Gemini and Fourth should be incredibly proud as should everyone involved in the making of this piece of art.

I finally finished my written exams. On friday I recieve the results. I hope it went well.

Yeah right. It's that point that technology go the extreme way and things that involve disloyalty also doesn't settle well with me . They are showing how dangerous /disturbing technology can be
