even though I've seen all JuniorMark's previous series (and I've always loved them), gosh this series made me fall head over heels with them. They're such great actors and their chemistry is insane! Love them so much!!

it's really good and intriguing and the plot will make you think about different theories

I'm so happy seeing people like it! ❤️ I'm that type of BL fan who watches literally all BLs out there (I only occasionally drop a BL if it's really not my cuppa) and I don't really have like just one BL couple that I love but omg this series made me fall in love with JuniorMark (even though I saw all their previous series already)

which other BLs had this trope before please?

thanks for your advice 😄 I am indeed not watching it 😂 cos this shit's so bad and toxic, I couldn't watch it even if I was drunk, I'm really sorry. I saw your comment about the gang r∆pe incoming later on in the story...yeah..😄 like I wrote last night, I'll bet my savings on the fact that this was written by a woman who loves to fantasize about cringe scenarios of being (gang)raped by a rich, toxic CEO(s) 😄 actually that being said, I'm surprised this wasn't written by MAME (MeMindy) ... anyway, you enjoy it guys (although it's slightly concerning that people are actually enjoying this 😬and also ironic considering how ballistic many BL fans went over some other details in MAME's past writing which is now super tame compared to whatever this is)

yeah it's too high

is the author a woman or a man? just curious

ah right, you meant the article you shared above, got it 😊👍🏼

maybe a step brother (that even her mom doesn't necessarily know about), or some other type of relative but my other theory is that they're a couple and started dating after Puifai went for that (forced?) abortion, they got close there, fell in love, Puifai started trusting him, telling him everything..

but basically almost all of these things happened to Puifai

I would love to read your article if it's available online!

also, can I ask another question? I mostly watch Thai BLs and GLs, like 98% of Thai series I watch are BLs or GLs (I do watch all gmmtv's straight series too though) so come to think of it, I might be unaware of cultural customs among Thai straight couples 😁 especially customs around having kids but I wanted to ask - like, when young straight people date in Thailand, it's considered normal for them to have sex (if they want to) before marriage, isn't it?

ahhh ok thank you so much for explaining! How is it viewed by feminists in Thailand? Or by women in general (although I realise many women can have different mindset, opinions, etc based on their cultural, religious, socio-economic background, etc)?

agree with you... it's so sus. I think Jay is still hiding some stuff though

but what if he received the letter but he's hiding it and didn't wanna tell anyone about it, not even his brother? or maybe he'll receive the letter last? Or if he didn't receive the letter yet, doesn't that make him kinda suspicious?

I have to say, it would be quite brutal if they killed off the main character's brother so it probably won't happen but who knows

I wonder if Jay survives 😩

agree with you. Also, why was Kamin so weirded out by the letter, like he's hiding something?

Thank you so much for the link! *sigh* only 4 years ago? Patriarchy still hard at work...but even if it was only decriminalised 4 years ago, I would expect a gmmtv series to be progressive about this topic. They often are about many such topics in many of their series when you watch carefully so this really surprises me.

(examples of other things I noticed throughout their series:
when they portrayed Maewnam in Whale Store doing things traditionally considered male - fixing all kinds of appliances & things, showing us that women are able to do it too, or when she actually physically defended Wan from the guy who assaulted her, showing women can fight too; or in I Love a lot of You, where Sun's mum was an escort and he had a conversation with Sairung about this topic where she reached a conclusion that it's also a job like any other and sex workers deserve social protection too just like other professions; or in Break-Up Service where one of the sub-plots was about a couple who were making adult content (OF style) and while initially it was assumed that the woman was coerced into it, in the end the series showed that they were both consenting adults who decided to do it together of their own accord; or in Ossan's Love where the main character's daughter tells her father that it's 2025 and he can freely date and be in love with a man if he wants to; or I loved the autistic character Gun played in Leap Day (or Aylin in 23.5), or that they included characters with a disability in Moonlight Chicken, Last Twilight, Pluto (in Pluto they even talked about such interesting things like for example Universal Design) and how they showed how ableist can parents of disabled kids/young people be while thinking they're just 'protecting' their kids; and I can't forget The Warp Effect series, that series was a whole feast with so many fantastic topics addressed.)

I copied that text about those examples from a thread I once wrote on twitter when the first episode of Me and Thee aired. If you watched it, there was a scene in it when Peach came home and his sister was lounging one the sofa alone, scrolling on her phone and she had shorts on and her legs crossed. And Peach instantly reprimanded her for sitting with her legs spread and instantly covered her legs with a blanket. That scene actually started a debate on twitter because many fans noted how misogynistic and weird it was (while there were lots of others who defended it as 'culture' and 'good manners' and that he was being protective of her). So back then I was discussing that scene with one Thai anthropologist on twitter and I wrote all those examples because I was shocked and surprised they included such a weird and low key misogynistic scene in Me & Thee if usually they include progressive topics and opinions in their series. Which makes me wonder whether it depends on who writes the series - and whether Dare you to Death and Me and Thee, especially the bits about abortion in DYTD & that scene in Me&Thee, were written by straight males, as opposed to the other series I mentioned which included such progressive opinions and topics.

yeah me too, but some plot holes are so glaringly obvious 😩

well shouldn't Jade be updated on all the latest new info as soon as he's discharged and back to working on the case? No wonder they can't catch the killer if this is how they work...
