Boom Tharatorn RUMORS vs. what we know.

thanks for the info. i was kind of speechless for a moment...
i dont know if the rumors are true or not, but i hope everyone gets the justice they deserve. i heard the case is already in court.
if its true, this is one of the reasons why i dont become a big fan of anyone. sure, i love few actors, but not to the point where id defend them no matter what. i always remind myself that i dont actually fully know those people. we never really know how public figures are behind the cameras, how they act in private, and what they do when no one is watching.

I just finished watching ep10 of Mr Fanboy and your description perfectly matches Nine 🙈

thanks Dora for the extended info. This story is such a mess!

i just wanted to mention, i like your profil pic 😁

Me too!

Thank you both! It was love at first sight with this picture, I couldn't resist and made it my new profil pic. If I believed in reincarnation, I could picture myself as Bank's lollipop. Such a pity I'm an atheist.

It depends on how much you need to see what’s next. It’s not exactly a cliffhanger ending as much as Nine is going to get what’s coming to him and I can’t wait to see it.

You Maniac ep10 (finale)

The biggest problem with this show is it sold itself as a toxic drama when it is not. The theme song is great, but this is not really a show about a “red flag.” Ok, for the first couple episodes maybe. But, really, this was a show about two relationship-phobic people learning to fall in love and admit their attachment to each other. Once I realized that, I loved it! Est is great at unspoken emotions, and William’s acting has really gotten good too. Together they are great at delivering feelings for each other and fear of those feelings.

The last episode was extremely touching. I especially loved the scene of William kissing Est in the dark and begging him not to leave. We earned this scene after seeing both Moth and Dean fall slowly in love and get more and more attached. We also know why William is afraid of love and loss. I thought the scene was beautiful and I was, once again today, crying.

The ending was cute and sweet, and GMMTV excels at cute and sweet. They also excel at basic love story tropes like enemies to lovers or relationship-phobia. They do not do toxic well. The closest I’ve seen was Burnout Syndrome.

In any case, my love for Est, in particular, and his stellar performance in this, as well as a solid, steady emotional story progression made me very satisfied by the end.

We didn’t get what we were promised, but we got something else worth watching. BarcodeKin deserved more screen time, for sure, but otherwise I didn’t have many complaints by the end. This may not have been the show I was most eager to watch every week, but when I did watch it, it actually delivered.

8.5/10 for me

Note: throughout the show, “baa” is translated as “maniac.”” Maniac” in English describes someone not in their right mind, whereas “baa” is used much more playfully here. It’s more like, “I’m crazy for you” than “I’m out of my mind for you.” “Baa” can also mean “acting wildly,” which fits the show much better—as in acting “wildly out of character” than “you maniac.” It’s just that “you maniac” makes a better title.

I wish James wasn’t getting hate but he is so good at being manipulative, it’s hard not to believe it’s real! I hope he gets to hold the reins of his career after this, because this show could not hit us like this without him! He is amazing!

I think (or hope) that once the series is over and the crazies settle down, he'll be appreciated for an amazing acting performance.

dora:

Living with Him is great but so is Fake Fact Lips.

Ditto to both.

I loved "Living With Him", especially the ending, but it might be too slow and gentle for some.

LueurArcane:

Indeed.

In any case, it now makes more sense that GMMTV hasn't yet made any formal announcement (other than the earlier end-of-partnership with Aou) pending investigation. Unless there are credible witnesses or proof such as video, these kinds of cases can be difficult to investigate.

Interesting clarification, thanks. The strange title makes more sense now.

I haven't yet started on it. I want to, but I'm suffering from severe BL overload.

agreed. i was actually thinking abt this, and "you crazy" doesn't seem catchy. and "crazy for you" might fit the series but would not fit the red flag premise
