Me seeing the guitar in Wan's hand: Mother help, the gays are singing again 😂 Though Wan was actually kind of cute while he sang for Ai! And he has a nice voice, so it was better than the songs we get in most BLs.
On a different note, I kind of wonder if Yu has some curse or bad karma going on? Without Ai's help, he would've already been dead a couple of times or at least badly injured.
One thing i’ve seen thai bl do is that they tone down characters like eg my stand in and meet you at the blossom…
True. I think Japanese adaption are better at exploring the really dark and twisted sides of a character. Thai series are more lighthearted in comparison. It's nice to have a light series, mind you, but in this case I think the story would've benefitted from a bit more darkness and fuckeduppery lol
The problem I have with this series is that they didn't go completely dark side, even though the potential was there. Payu is extremely manipulative and obsessive, he broke Rain's car on purpose to lure him in etc. But it's portrayed in a way that is too light and romantic. Same goes for Prapai. He's a prime example of a stalker, but they tried to turn it into him helping Sky through his trauma. If they had made this series into a psychological horror story, I think I would've loved it. If you want to give me possessive psycho characters, make sure they're fucked up to the max! No need to sugarcoat it by pretending it's all funny and romantic.
That being said, I hope the Japanese version can fix some of the problems of this series. We'll see :3
Usually females are written as annoying in bls. Rarely they are likeable.
Yeah, that's a whole topic right there. It's sad, as soon as I see a woman in a BL, I have to prepare myself that she's most likely going to be annoying af 😑
I don't feel sorry for the girlfriend/fiancé. You could totally tell she was only acting cute, but deep down she's bitchy as hell. Taeha really dodged a bullet by breaking off the engagement with her. Not just because he's in love with a man, but in general. In the end true love won 🥰
I'm honestly so glad that so many people here are commenting on the poor cage conditions for the turtle! I'm glad…
Sometimes I watch videos of terrarium builds on YT where they create these really big and elaborate homes for their turtles and fish and whatnot. My heart goes out to Khun Shy, knowing that he has to live in a tiny plastic box without any enrichment. But I also hope that was only temporary, because having the turtle in a smaller container was easier during filming.
omg in ep 3 when the teacher picks on him :'( I feel so bad :'(
That was so mean of her. The teacher didn't even consider that some people have social anxiety or a speech impairment or simply a quiet voice. Hate teachers like that ;;
I don’t know if I should keep watching. I found Diew really annoying the first episode.
You're probably not an introvert like Diew then. Because I find him very relatable. But you can just take this series as an opportunity to learn more about different personality types
I really like that those two have a lot of conversations and that they're trying to get to know each other properly before moving on to the next stage in their relationship. That's a rare find in most BLs.
Also, it's the little things for me: Like Diew hiding behind God whenever they enter a room that's full of other people, God being a bit clumsy and chaotic and Diew hesitating to give out his phone number and info (same dude, I was like "Who is that woman? Go away. We don't know you!").
Only minus point I've got so far is that Khun Shy's enclosure is too small. That poor turtle is always trying to escape 😭 But I assume it's only a temporary solution they had in place while filming and that the turtle has a bigger home irl.
Finally Build is free! As for Poi, she got a (for now) suspended prison sentence of 1/2 to 1 year and a fine of 20.000 Baht. She's a convicted criminal now and Build was proven innocent.
I came to suffer and indeed I did suffer 😭 Huaien, crying all dramatic in the middle of the road broke me ugh... Also, how many times did he get stabbed in total? Seven, eight, nine times? I lost count... Poor dude is a swiss cheese by now whelp
this show being done by the same director as the one who sexualized baby ohm in make it right in 2016 is so telling.…
Oh god, I remember Make it right... Ohm was only 15, I think? Yeah, there is definitely a pattern of putting boys that have barely reached the age of consent into those kinds of roles. And I just realized that the director also worked on What the Duck. Not like that one didn't have any scandals at all... There are very few directors that I'd trust to create a good work environment for young actors and this one is not one of them. I can only hope that the parents or a guardian were always present on set to make sure nothing happened to those boys... But if news comes out that something DID happen, sadly I won't be surprised either.
I can't tell if some of the people in the comments are simply ignorant about the Thai BL industry or are willfully…
I've watched the new trailer just now and... yeah, this show is so not going to be PG13. They were quite literally naked in bed together and the touching that went on in those few clips was already well beyond innocently holding hands. I don't even want to know what the uncut version will contain... Also, not to accuse anyone of anything, but I'm starting to get some strange vibes from the production company and the director. As you said, they have a weird tendency to cast really young actors in roles that are 18+. They could easily find actors that are older, but for some reason they go for the young ones...
It's really a shame, because I love Addicted to bits. The original series is still one of my favorite BLs. But to see the story being used for this kind of thing... It's just sad.
Anyway, I hope the actors are and will be ok and that in ten years time they won't look back on this project and realize that it was all very fucked up and traumatizing.
Wait... it got banned? Ah fuck man, I wanted to watch this one :( Any point in watching the first 4 episodes, if I can find them? Or will I just feel even more pain, cause I won't be able to watch the rest?
In any case: Fuck censorship! Free the titties! Gay kisses for all!
Well I personally don’t mind them cuz many minor actors played in a bl with older one like Kinnporsche KimChay…
Yeah, it's not like the mistreatment of actors is a super rare occasion. A recent example would be Daou and Offroad who had to face harassments and homophobic comments from the Century of Love staff. Those two are adults, but they still had a hard time on set. For a minor it would've been even worse.

KinnPorsche is a bit of an unfortunate example. Barcode got harassed on set... He lucked out with Jeff being a good egg, but then got molested by the authors. Instances like this one are the reason why I think there should be better protection set in place for actors, especially the underage ones.

They better give us a kiss in the next episode!
Hmm, no. Never mind. Looking at your profile it's obvious that this is just a burner account you're using to spread hate. How boring

I'll definitely rewatch this one a couple of times, I can already tell
And they always go for his shoulders and chest. I can only hope his nipples survived 😔

On a side note: Jinbao is super cute!
