I also dropped this show - made my blood boil. Could not watch past 9th episode.
Agree with your points.

That is still no excuse to force it down our throats. Let them write better gl scripts - it diminishes bl drama quality and bl viewer experience.

If you hate straight couples in gl/bl - imagine us who hate gl couples in bl dramas. And give them centre stage. Its a waste of time that could have focused on the couples we want to see.

Why are they forcing lesbian couples in bl shows. It ruins a lot of the bl shows.

I dont watch gl shows to see bl couples.

lol - I cant defend the honey scene as I have not seen it yet so I may find myself having the same opinion as you. But its a scene that they never stopped talking about on reddit.

You are so right about the music choice on TNP. I had missed that. the music choice alone would put it in an "objective" above average category at the very least.

I agree with your opinion about practicality but Im not judging fiction nc based on reality. In fiction things like sex on the beach, or in water or with honey can be hot and romantic. I go with it.

But I can usually take a step back and differentiate when something is objectively good or its something I love based on my subjective bias and personal preferences.

Personally if I judge the TNP scene objectively - it was average and non memorable compared to other dramas - both in the making love and f****ng category. (musicismyjoy93 ).

I get that people here prefer TNP and its the best scene out for them.

I am with you. I thought the first couple of episodes were interesting as we are introduced to the environment and characters. Its new. After that it become boring because i didn't really care. I watched it on double speed.

I find a lot of Korean shows are hyped up but not always that good and becomes ridiculous as episodes progress or just boring

I thought the first couple of episodes were interesting as we are introduced to the environment and characters. Its new. After that it become boring to me because i didn't really care. I watched it on double speed.

If the first few episodes don't interest you I would not bother. I find a lot of Korean shows are hyped up but not always that good and becomes ridiculous as episodes progress eg When the phone rings , Queen of tears. There are some that are excellent that draw me in (Love in the big city, Mr Plankton, Coffee prince).

Ultimately its a taste, if it does not draw you in, watch something else.

He is not a bad actor. Stop being a spiteful individual. Compared to most bl actors he is convincing in his roles,
And he is very hot.
Also wish I could see him in a series again.

lol thanks - Happy with that explanation. I can appreciate that it a personal preference and would never dream of questioning that part. No one can judge what is the hottest or

I thought they were were "objectively " comparing an exceptional steamy hot scene in TNP with the honey scene and could not understand if we watched same show.

have not seen TopForm -heard a lot about the that scene . Also heard a lot about My Stubbonr. However TNP the nc was underwhelming. It compares as a pretty average nc for a bl show.
I have seen LITA and compared to ny nc scene in LITA show, well this show is lukewarm at best. And I am watching the uncut version.

What part is supposed to be hot to challenge that much talked about honey scene? Did I miss something?

lol you are referring to the cheating accusations by at least 7 girlfriends.
I love transparency.
If all this is true and if he does not have morals, and deceiving and manipulating others is how he operates, then its good that its out there.

We are all human, and growing. There is no need to be unkind, but its nice to be aware of the morals of people you idolise, or chose to date, or befriend And maybe a good idea to leave those people aloneeee.

NOTE the accusations may not be true

I wish him all the best. He deserves more success. Not only good looking, but he can act.

I also read that two of his project got cancelled in the past because he made a stand against violence so I am impressed when somebody shows moral character and ethics .

Absolutely - dont know much about the book but understanding their relationship and motivations would have worked better. At the moment it was caricature "psychopath" character.

I liked the toxic second couple but i feel they could have done it better. But in all I enjoyed the show.

I am disappointed that they did not do justice to this story. It was rushed and certain topics should have been better explored.

I love the second couple - they stole the show. Their chemistry and dynamics is more interesting and I wish we got better insight . Hoping for a second season where they focus on Chain / Jorn.

I wish I understood why Chain cowers to Jorn especially when he is physically stronger and can easily overpower him. Or what the past history is between those two.

Also why do they force GL couples in BL shows. They should have focused on the 2 main couples and done away with the school setting and class captian voting. Did not understand the value that added and confused me as to purpose.

I dont mind toxic relationships and Im not going to apologise for this. Yes Im unhinged.
I am comfortable with my morals. I dont need to be told that its wrong to romanticise toxic relationships and that rap.e is wrong. If there is violence I fast forward but I dont sit and judge how others are terrible to enjoy and romanticise mafia type shows and moralise what actions are good and bad and dictate what others should watch. You can do the same.

Shows are fiction. If something makes me uncomfortable I fast forward or dont watch. But Im not going to judge the morality of showing a particular trope in a fiction show and dictate to writers what topics they can explore. And be hypocritically selective based on my "superior morals". Live and let live.

i dont let my superior morality dictate to others what tropes I should or should not enjoy. Or tell writers what themes they should explore in their novels.

I enjoyed this one. It was cute allround.

I wish they would do more History series

also like WTF with that rape scene where Jorn has lit up candles around the room to - is it to make it more romantic .

Loved the VegasPete as well - exploring the psychology and Pete being into chains.
I love toxic but this felt uncomfortable because it was so lacking .

I am 100% in agreement with you and supporting your rant.

I was laughing at your point about assuming coworkers are in a relationship because they worked on an office project. Things have gotten that ridiculous.

I would hate for Smart to be cancelled and to receive hate. Its a form of bullying and fans should be made to realise its not acceptable behaviour. We can do our bit by noticing the bullying, trying to educate delusional fans, or at least pointing it out. So I appreciate your post.

There may be valid reasons to breach a contract - we never know what goes on. I feel sorry for Boom as well to be in this situation. We can try to be kind.

This Thailand concept of actors building a "relationship brand" feeds into fans delusions. Its the nature of the game. Dont get me wrong I am sometimes enjoying the pairing but I would be okay without it.

I sometimes read the posts on reddit that discuss how "XYZ couples love is so real" based on a sighting, fan services, a photo shoot, or a quote. Its very cringe. I also get annoyed how they make assumptions about their sexuality. If I was an actor it would make no diff to kiss a man or a woman because its acting.

We don't know the truth or actual reasons behind this business partnership breakup. It takes strength to walk away from something that does not feel right for you.

But its fair to critise an actor for not honouring a contractual obligation you made to commit to future projects. Time and financial investments were made based on those contracts.
