Reminds me of that SNL sketch about the wife who didn’t know how to dirty talk. She said some messed up stuff but at least it was comedy.

Unfortunately I wipe it from my memory each week and each week I hear it again and I dry heave.

The mystery is what I NEED to know. The rest can remain like a mindless child just wandering in a visually aesthetic garden.

Real wisdom is knowing why ‘Daddy’ is sexy and ‘Dad’ is absolutely not. 😅

Aside from what’s been said about the stupid take of the reporter in this article; I’ll add that I really don’t like the direction MDL is going with these sensationalised articles. Are you telling me there were no other topics to write about in regards to this drama? Are MDL views down? Are the editors now only interested in writing controversial topics for views and engagement???? This may benefit MDL in the short term but it will turn people away in the long term. If it’s an issue of which articles are being given the green light over others, then Admin seriously needs to have a rethink about which ones it publishes. We all know rage-farming is a toxic tool that ALWAYS gets out of control. It eventually destroys everything with it. Look at the decline of Facebook, Twitter, TMZ etc.

I do agree that the buck stops with the person who writes the story aka whosever creative vision it is but I think anyone should be free to tell any story they wish. The only requirement being that they have to be very skilled at doing so. This involves thinking about what you are trying to say with your story, how you portray it as well as any social responsibilities for sensitive topics. Not all social responsibilities should be their responsibility though, and I don’t think that a character learning how bad something is only by experiencing it themselves is necessarily a bad thing. It mostly depends on HOW this is portrayed. You can make a convincing argument for anything, can make an unpopular portrayal truly sincere if you are skilled enough as a creative or at the very least understanding your audience’s (reasonable) expectations. An example I’ll give is the movie ‘What Women Want.’ Although not the peak of cinema, I think it’s a good example to demonstrate that (say what you want about Hollywood), they used to understand how to sell a story to their audience. They were really really good at selling character redemption and turning around the audience’s views of deplorable characters. They seemed to understand something about the symbiotic relationship between audience and creator.

Frfr I get having intense feelings about a character but keep it on the character not the actor. Knowing the difference is so important. Not just for the actor but for ourselves as viewers. We need a separation of state type deal for dramas and movies as this is getting ridiculous. Those disclaimers that we’re seeing increasingly at the start of dramas is making more and more sense now. Kinda like idiot-proof warning labels on things in the west. E.g. “Do not eat this soap because this is soap not food and is not fit for consumption” 🤦🏽‍♀️

Auto being a red herring is something I suspected last week so was not surprised. I said he was acting too obvious and that it would turn out to be for another reason and it was.

This is convincing me more and more that Kleua is the (main) spy. His manipulative behaviour today was so shady. It’s left me wondering if he actually likes Plawan or he’s just getting close because he knows he’s the other spy. Therefore, everything he’s been doing is to keep him in the competition so that they are the last ones standing — ensuring that the ‘winner’ will definitely be one of Metha’s spies.

Because I really believe he is the spy and he seems to harbour some ill feelings towards chef that seems to predate chef’s treatment of Plawan; I just know his betrayal is gonna sting once it’s discovered by chef.

Thankfully for Plawan’s case, it looks like Methas is gonna become a good character so hopefully the consequences to chef won’t be that bad if this progresses without Plawan coming clean to chef.

I don’t need to comment on the spicy stuff since everyone has that covered. 😅

I’ll say a bit on the other stuff:

That’s the question on everyone’s lips. 🤷🏽‍♀️

What in the shaved peacock is that fugly shirt?!!

Shiz just got real.

I’ve not read the novel but the intro montage gives the story away. Winter is coming. 😭😭😭😢

They’re actual doing it for research purposes it seems. 😅😂🤣🤣🤣

There is no infidelity (if that’s what you mean).

The last few days the comments section has been Team HT or Team JX. I don't do teams. lol To me, the leads always come as one package. Still, the comments have been entertaining. I've been here with my popcorn reading through them. :D

I was about to comment just this. It never fails to shock me how consumers of bl content can be so homophobic. Definitely not beating the allegations that a great deal of women who watch bl only fetishise the characters/actors through a heteronormative lens. It’s like going to a candy shop but you hate sweets and only like their appearance.

It seems his character is marmite but I'm enjoying him so far. He cracks me up and I think his character fits with his clothes, his style, his cheekiness, his clumsy cluelessness etc. Tbf I hardly ever dislike lead characters. I can count on my hand the number of leads I've disliked in a BL, you can even add the number of leads from non-bl dramas and it'll still be low.

I still think he's the one (or one of) working for MT.

This is one of the only two BLs that I am genuinely enjoying currently. The chemistry between the main leads is chemistrying. I’m also liking the buildup of enemies to lovers between the second couple.

I’m kinda positive that the spy is Kluea, unfortunately. At first I was only picking up on subtle hints but once I learned he’s paying medical bills for a loved one, it sealed the deal for me. I’m thinking Auto is the red herring. Although he is acting the most suspicious, I bet his character has some sort of learning difficulty, which requires him to film and go over whatever they did that day in order to learn/understand the techniques. The headphones might also be a hint to this.

Pansip does seem a bit too sweet and innocent to be real but I’m willing to accept that’s how he really is for now because they usually have one character like this in all Thai BLs.
