That may be :) But some are not available to watch everywhere. We will see if that really happens. But this year also shows that more crap is produced as ever before.

Not that much product placements there, it's not GMMTV :) I would say the other ML is also great because it's the first time a seasoned actor switched to BL, normally it's the other way around.
Yes, that was nice too. So you see, there are gems everywhere :) And "I promised you the Moon" :) Also "180 Degree Longitude Passes Through Us", "My 12%" and "Absoule Zero" are my favs for different reasons.

"Never give up, never surrender" 🤣 There are even some thai gems... I would say "4 Minutes" from Thailand is special in a good way.
Over 100? Nah, I would see that... it's around 50 now :D They do more GLs now too, but most of them are as bad as BLs :)
I only see the order of my most helpful reviews. So, when Cherry Magic has 27 up-votes but is shown below Sunset x Vibes with 9 up-votes I see the fangirls downvoting my review :) But maybe that's bots too :)
This story is not about friendship imho. It's quite clear from Isumi side, that he has much much stronger feelings. And yes, they did the miscommunication thing for dramatic effect, but in a comedy setting this is not badly done, there are no stupid sounds and it's quite funny.
I just think I do not gel with Thai humor (sound effects, their version of "cutesy", etc). Thai BLs that do not…
I would say humor can be universal but we don't need the sounds if a scene is really funny., that's what the shows in the 80ties started in the US which background laughter on cue which I never liked. Last Twilight had weak and lazy writing for the show while there intension was good. it was executed in a mass market compatible format. And I remember thai shows having bad sound as well and it's still an issue when they are wearing their microphones under their clothing which is always annoying when they hug. Due to the "custom" of shipping thai shows go more to the fans because their number one goal is to earn lots of money especially with merch and fan meets where fangirls also show their toxic side especially in social media or even here. That's also the reason many show have fan-service in it where it's not needed to transport the story itself.
Thai BL fans will not agree with you. I think. But i agree with you.
I would disagree with the statement all Thai BL storylines are always lacking. There are few shows were the wriiting was great and also the execution was great. But it's only a small percentage. Yes, they did.
Honestly, I agree! I feel like I haven't completed a Thai bl in so long because nothing's been hitting right.…
Yeah, because Thai BLs are mostly "safe". They don't ask for thinking for yourself. Most thai fangirls will never watch "Happy of the End", of course not. But they will not watch this show either because it is not distributed internationally.
FR!!! All the Thai BLs I've seen this year have been BAD. I feel each year the quality of their scripts decreases…
I think "4 Minutes" is good and "Jack & Joker" is better than the rest :) As long as they have the fan base, it does not matter to them and that's why shipping is working with all it's ugly sides too.
clock it. its a lot of these thai bls being review-bombed to make it seem good with their high scores but are…
I know... does not hinder me to write honest reviews 🤣 Most medicore Thai BLs are overrated to hell and the few good ones are not rated high enough...

How many clichés are there? Better than in thai shows like in Jack & Joker where all people working @ fashion are "super sissies"... This is much more annoying then any other cliché you have seen.
It's not about the trope, but when "Cooking Crush" is on 7.4 which it's clichés and with it's more than boring story... This show has the same rating as "The Trainee"... but sorry, for me this show is much much much better and not forced to be funny. "Two Worlds" at 7.4 with a unbelievable story but with lots of NC scenes....
