We saw her cheating in the club but to me it looked like show was high or drugged and not in control.

I havent read the book. Im not saying she wasnt cheating

Was he drunk and did not consent?
I wonder if they have toned down the book

Hey these are strong soldiers here. They only got a bandage.
Typically, Thai men get a fever and are in bed for a couple of days, as we watch them being wiped down, and being nursed to health by the other male lead

I think the story so far may be good. If its messy & toxic like Only Friends then I going to be watching.
The visuals are outstanding. Glad to see Lee in this role. But all the actors are hot.
And so far I not bored and want to know more.

I think a lot of things could have been done better re editing, slow motion, flashbacks. I dont know why many Thai productions have this strange way of editing series that makes it messy.

People are commenting on consent issues - "Knight kissed Mild without consent " etc.
People should realise that this is a FICTION series and toxic behaviours make shows more interesting. I mean if you watch a action movie do you sit there and point out how bad it is to punch someone, or shoot someone. I hate violence and avoid action or war films. If I watch that genre I don't feel the need to point out that violence is unacceptable at every punch and that we shouldn't be watching it at this day and age.

Does anyone know who plays Mud (the guy that Lee/Knight is fighting with at the start.
Is the character missing on Cast & Credits Section?

Also has anyone read the novel - or knows where its available?

Same here. I will watch anything with Lee Long.

Im reading over here that people are talking about red flags, a toxic mess, great visuals.......and I am in.

Thanks. Im in the process of watching both (at same time) as they are more or less different stories.
I think Korean do style well. The Chinese is more substance and authentic.

I said somewhere further down that this is a vanity project for NNZ in "pretty" costumes. A good script, an engaging plot, consideration of the supporting actors - that is all incidental.

Loved this movie. Its about survival and clutching on / using any means available when you dont have any other options left.

The doctor is using sex to revive a "patient". The drugs of sec to degrade and torture, to make the victim hit rock bottom, to make him feel, to ignite something that wills him to survive.
I found some parts difficult to watch and fast forwarded. This is a film i would rewatch.

Its twisted and its beautiful. It deserves a higher rating.
if you enjoyed this then I also recommend another film called Sing in Love (2022)

I struggled to watch this film and put it aside when it got to the rape scene. It took about two months for me to finish watching. The film is not so much about a rape as it is about the effects or rape and recovering from rape . And how easy it is for a life to spiral into destruction.

Its traumatic. Its sad. But it was worth watching. The two lead actors were excellent (as was the rest of the cast). I am so conflicted about the ending. But it made an impact.

To those who call it toxic
You dont have to watch this type of genre. But stop calling for CENSORSHIP on what you perceive to be toxic dramas. Its a slippery slope and we end up NOT having dramas like REVENGED LOVE if you dictate morality and tell people what is appropriate to watch and what cant be produced and viewed.

@NLL who blocked me for the comment below

I watched some on the first episode and am dropping it because I cant follow it or get into it. I think there is a prequel and possibly you need to see that to be into it
I cant follow what is going on easily.

I like the actors. I wanted to like the show. I But its not for me.
I have not rated the show because well i haven't watched or been involved enough to give a fair rating.

If people are watching they are entitled to have an opinion and offer it.

You need to chill and not take things so personally.

What the hell is wrong with people when they cant accept that others have a different opinion and different tastes - and if you express them you are a hater.
And you never said anything bad either.

EDIT: Ive been blocked by NLL.
Dear NLL - you need to get some professional help

Just started watching this today. I have seen 3 episodes so far and Im favourably impressed .
Im interested in the story, the leads and support couple, and I want to know more.
Its well filmed and edited (not that Im an expert).
I would rather watch this then another big costume drama with a huge budget.

Edit
I have watched e4 episodes now so I have caught up

-Enjoying chemistry between leads
-Really like Deck and Mek. Very cute. (becoming my favourites)
-BL men are always getting sick or inured - especially delicate Thai men (this trope is overdone)

I cant comment as I am saving this to watch when it ends.
However I want to say that you are entitled to your preferences and your opinions without being attacked. Its just a bl fiction world.

Agree. One of the most beautiful men. (his brother is also gorgeous).

I think Thai men are better looking than Korean (only mentioning Korean because they are currently in fashion). In my opinion, I think he is better looking that Byeon Woo Seok (who is also great looking).

This looks like it could be good.

Bl dramas dont have much to do with real gay life. Also this is a bl drama and not about real gay peoples lives.
Also a lot of gay men do not consider themselves queer. I dont know if you are speaking on behalf of all gay men or all queers.
Gay men have a gender preference - kind of what makes them gay.

A certain Flower was extremely rude and blocked me and many others who criticised the show and the two main leads.

Im enjoying this board, but Im not trying to harm anyone as some people may have mental issues like celebrity worship syndrome so need to be mindful of other people
