not trying to be annoying but next ep is the last ep so even if you drop it they took your time away already.…
Got your point, but my frustration over the alleged incest trope use in the series points at the direction of the possibility that this series might have a sequel next year. I may have been unclear of my comment, apologize for that. And yes I will still watch the last episode simply because I would like to know how the director would solve our unanswered questions that were left in ep. 13. Plus, it's interesting how the KinnPorsche team strategize to put things into perspective in the last episode that has running time of more than an hour.
TBH, I will not accept the author's writing style to ruin the whole story if both Kinn and Porsche were confirmed first-degree cousins. I do think that queer cinema has passed the stage of being inclusive, but it is a big hell NO to normalize incestuous relationships or the use of incest tropes in popular culture. God, I'm frustrated!
I just hope that other viewers who commented on MyDramalist were right about their theory. That Porsche's mother is adopted child of the main family. Because if it is not, then I'll drop this series for good.
I dunno but when Japanese Film media are taking the heed call for producing Japanese BLs, it seems authentic to me. Some people would find it shallow to think that maybe it is due in part of BL's place of origin: Japan. But I guess it transcends beyond that, which is the good plot devices used and not to mention the superb quality of cinematography! I highly recommend this to everyone. Too bad, it has only 6 episodes for Season 1. Hoping for S2 =)
Let me process everything I've just gathered about this series. So "I Love You as a Man (Part I)" is the movie version of "Like Love" or are both distinctly different from one another? Or the former is a sequel to the latter? Highly appreciated to those users who would provide answers to my questions.
I took a break from Thai BLs, decided to try this after I saw the ratings. The only thing I enjoyed is the local…
In addition to your feedback, I think for the most part the slow-paced story is the prime factor that made me drop the series. I agree that instead of typical metropolitan Bangkok as main setting place, the hinterlands of Chiang Mai was a great choice for the shooting location (as dictated, of course, by the novel-based story). Featured in the series is the indigenous peoples that constitute the whole casts.
The last scenes in the seventh episode set a bigger picture, contextualizing my hunch about Nubsib having known Gene for a long time (love at first sight is impossible!). Now, this plot device is notably used in TonhonChonlatee, but with the involvement of parents' decision making to separate the two as they fear of homosexual tendencies. Will this be also used in the next episode? I mean Nubsib has been in overseas as stated by his mom ((without providing further details why he has been away for so long) while speaking with Gene at her house. Then, Gene has a difficulty to ascertain who Nubsib is as he has only recently discovered it from the former's mom; might have been a fragile memory due to an accident? Who knows, right?
The trailer says it's inspired by true events. This intrigues me more. Reference to such inspiration has been mentioned to 2 Moons 2. How far will this be different from Lovely Writer when both tackles the same issue in the showbiz industry.
We seem to be comfortably lying on bed while binge-watching series like passive audience only to seek entertainment, but the fact remains that many of viewers appear on the lookout to film contents. This is in fact the effect of motion picture of all kinds it had upon us: create a community where exchange of thoughts takes place. Whether you agree to disagree, popular media plays a crucial role in amplifying public perceptions towards an understanding of social realities/ issues. That's wonderful to witness here in the comment section. I just hope it's a healthy discourse between discussants. If we maintain this culture here, then we are beyond viewership, for we place value now to judgement of quality than superficiality.
Episode 1 alone was made available on GagaOOLala's YT Channel. The rest of episodes are not free and can only be watched if you have subscriptions on Gaga's official website.
