Ikr? It's not like I hate the current profession they chose. I just don't think it stand out enough for the class difference theme even if it’s considered less respected in Thailand.

I like him too. He is underrated, he deserves lead roles.

Haha, I see. But I don't mean all construction jobs, especially not mining. I was thinking more of manual labor jobs like construction laborers or factory workers—jobs that are often looked down on socially in many Asian countries. I just meant something like that might have made the class difference in the show a bit clearer.

Yeah, it's basically like that in many Asian countries. A lot of Asian families still pressure their children to become doctors or engineers even today. You'd be surprised, but those professions are still seen as the most respected and prestigious in many Asian countries. That's actually one thing about this show. I like the plot and the overall theme, but I kind of wish they had chosen professions with a more obvious status difference. For example, something like a doctor and a construction worker might have made the social gap clearer. Just my opinion, though.

I think the same. I think the plot is good but some scenes and the script feel a bit out of place and mismatched.

It differs from country to country. They accept being gay because it's Thailand, a LGBTQ-friendly country. If it were another Asian country like India, China, or Korea, they wouldn't accept being gay in general either. Australia is more of a Western country despite being in the Asia-Pacific region. Australia and New Zealand are culturally more similar to Europe, so that's not really a question. Someone below said it depends on the level of education and the skills needed in each country. That's why it differs from one country to another, and why some jobs are less valued than others.

I enjoyed the side couple’s parts here. I wish Dai Lu Wa and Riley Wang get casted together as leads in a new drama.

The bestie chemistry between New and Kapook is so good. They're so cute. I like watching them.

Then please don’t vent your frustrations under my comment. It feels like you’re using me to argue back with others. Anyway, bye… please calm down.

Again, I don't know who you're directing this comment at or what your beef with them is. Are you memorizing everything they say every week or something? Because I won't remember people's comments that way. Anyway, chill out. It's still a win—people are following it and engaging in discussions. Trying to pick fights with everyone who says something won't help this drama or your ship.

It is the point of following an ongoing series here on mdl. When a show is still airing, people point out the things they like or dislike based on the episodes released so far. People won't wait till after the show ends. If there are things that aren't working for them, they will complain about them. But they still keep watching because there are other things that are working for them.

I'm not the one who said that anyway. There's no need to pick a fight with everyone. I just don't want to see unnecessary negativity here, which is why I asked everyone to stay calm.

Calm down, guys ... don't fight over silly things. Let people have their own opinions. It's not that deep, whether call it a no-plot or weak-plot show, they're still watching it, right?

Whether you're on Stan Twitter or not isn't really my business. My point is that it's better not to generalize or bring Twitter narratives into an MDL discussion without knowing the full context.

You're framing this as "New's fans" behaving a certain way, but that's simply not representative of most people here. Most MDL users are just casual drama watchers discussing the series and its characters. They're free to express what they enjoy without it being turned into a Twitter discourse.

Also, what New said was specifically about separating the characters from the actors in the context of shipping. That's a different context from people casually discussing a drama on MDL. You're free to interpret his words however you like, but using them to judge everyone here is a stretch.

You were the one who first brought information from Stan Twitter into the MDL comment section, where most people aren't on Stan Twitter or don't even use Twitter anyway. Then you're acting as if you're somehow above it all because you only care about the characters, not the actors. If you really don't care about the actors, you wouldn't be on BL Stan Twitter anyway. That contradicts your own point.

The problem with some BL fans from Stan Twitter is that they bring Twitter information here, push their own narrative, and interpret everything in their own way on forums like MDL. That's it.

What New said was mainly about shipping the characters, which is different from what people are discussing here. But you're free to interpret it however you like, as long as you're not sharing misinformation.

Haha, You’re welcome. I also only found out recently. I was kinda surprised in a good way 😁😆

Wasn’t New referring to shipping the characters (TotoKanit), not the actors (TayNew)? That’s how I understood it. I don’t think it’s right to interpret it in a different way to suit a certain narrative.

If I remember correctly, Joseph and Hou Minghao used to be in the same idol group.

This is the type of drama which I wish to release all episodes at once like Netflix original ones.

Guys just report that hansel714 account and don’t need to interact with such a hater.
