There are no laws to protect gays against discrimination, you could even loose your job.

It does not protect you against discrimination at all... So it's not really a solution.

Yes, but too slow.

Yes, but the problem is a) not every region have that, b) if you are from region x but your partner is in hospital in region y, they can refuse to visit your partner. Such incident already happened.

Have fun!

cool 🤣

arigato!

It IS a british classic, because they books are. If the movies are classics - I don't know. That was the only point I made ...

When, it would be an UK classic, because J.R.R. Tolkien was british :)
On the other hand if you count where the money comes from, then many Thai BLs are also chinese, because some are mainly financed by China (Top Form for example, WeTV and of course also iQIYI)

If a show is only released internationally but not in China itself, it does not matter :) See "ABO Desire" and "Revenged Love". Both were filmed in China itself.

We agree to disagree :)

Not really imho. Hollywood productions are often not made in the USA because it's too expensive. And of course they get monetary insentives or even funding when they choose other countries. This show did it to circumvent chinese censorship. Also "The Sparkle in Your Eye" is listened as "Singapore" and was made there with chinese actors. So, this is then a double standard?

It does not matter. It matters where it is made. The country is Thailand even when the rest of it is Chinese. It's not more important. Because it is also valid for products... "Made in China" are stamped on it even when the idea for the product was done outside of China or do you think China invents everything?

It's stupid. The country of origin is where it's made.
And around 20% of Thais are Chinese or chinese descendants...
Also a lot of shows are paid by iQIYI (Tencent) or WeTV (Baidu) and are made in Thailand, because China is the second biggest investor in Thai BL.

Why is MDL writing "Country: China" when it was entirely done in Thailand?

thank you :)

awwwwwwwwww.... 😊

This story was a complete fantasy, so of course the finale does not make much sense. The real Apo may have died, but also was happier in the "other" realm.

Of course nobody would take this story seriously, it was just pure entertainment and nothing more. But compared to Ossan's Love or My Sweatheart Jom, they dialed the comedy stuff back and made the characters much more serious and much more believable. So in my case, they got an 8.0 regardless of the cringe, because they put seriousness into a comedy and I was entertained most of the time and not bored af compared to their last show. As you can see the story is a 6.5 but other factors elevated the series beyond that imho (acting, costumes, staging, props, music, cinematography). So a 9.0 or higher was never a discussion in my brain. 🤣

I like it more than you :) It was something different from the start. For me it was as nice as S1 of At 25:00 in Akasaka. But of course I can't assume S2 would be also much better than S1 :)))

I also know that :)

Why not is the question. There are not enough honest reviews out there. Reviews where the fans praise their ships don*t really help to make a decision if something is worth watching when you are not into the bubble but are interested with limited time. From my POV I explain why I like some series or why I hate them (or inbetween). Luckily some people factor my reviews in, watch series I like but they would not have thought of watching themselves first. So if this is helping one person alone, that's enough to do it :)

Yes, about S3. I'm not sure, but it could be with a focus more on this side couple with the occasional struggle for Yuki and a nice re-union for the MLs when they meet again :) Even when it should not happen, we had a good run with just two seasons. The next S2 will be Cosmetic Loveplayer and we will see if they can up their level as well...
