I had exactly the same reaction to the Dome/railing shot - I was totally unprepared - that's some talent to be…
So true! Vee turned and looked up at Dome and dome was standing there and he was the central focus of the whole shot and it just me in my heart, like damn! I know some people have complained about the story, but the cinematography is effing amazing! All of Dome and Vee's shots have been like that!
Gawin crying, Sean talking to Black in his bedroom (basically crying), ugh, I'm a sucker for crying! So emotional! Another great episode! Also, I did not realize that Gawin was such a good actor. He gets to show so much more emotional range here than in Dark Blue Kiss (where he was basically just mad all the time)
Whoa! The scenes with Vee and Dome were absolutely killer in this ep! It was like watching an art house gay flick about two guys slowly learning about their desires! All of the long shots across the way, on the track, at the park, and the on the stairs! Ugh, that last scene, when Vee is walking down the stairs and Dome is standing by the railing, I was not ready. It hit me hard!
Fah and Thorn's relationship is progressing, and I love the way it's going! Aii is maybe my least favorite character, because he is one of those people who is goal oriented, but he lets his goals make him mean to other people (for example, the voice message he sent to Saen last episode).
The shots and directing are gorgeous, the looks everyone shares are killing me! After Not Me, this is my 2nd favorite BL that is airing right now! When Fah and Thorn finally kiss, I am going to die! And I totally think that Dome and Vee are going to start having a secret affair! That one scene in the intro, where Vee is walking at night with his chest showing and Dome is following him, kind of looking around?? That totally gives me "gay hookup vibes"!
I am fairly new to the Thai BL dramas (just started watching in January) so I don't know about Addicted and Sotus.…
They're not that good, people just love them b/c they were some of the first BLs and it's nostalgia. It's like when 40 year olds talk about cartoons they loved as a kid. If you go watch the cartoons, they are just ok, but for the 40-year old, they just remember loving them as a kid, so they think they are way better than they really are.
Has anyone watched this Filipino BL - "Like in the Movies"? Is it any good and where can I watch this?https://kisskh.at/61655-like-in-the-movies
It's amazing, it made me cry so many times, the soundtrack is awesome! It's on YouTube in the US, and netflix in the Philippines. Other than that, it's probably on dramacool or kissasian.
Be aware, the director was accused of sexually harassing one of the lead actors, Paolo Pangilinan (who is openly gay). That's why there is no second season, but the first season is amazing!
Agree that the slo-mos are kind of weird, but wishing the plot was something else? You're talking as if you've…
yes, I have absolutely considered those things, and what I have determined is that right now the show is boring. and if within the next episode they are able to make things interesting for me then I will keep watching and if they aren't I won't. seriously I get that you all like this show, but like put the attack dogs back up in the kennel.
actually a lot of "interesting" things happen.. i don't know if it is because i know spoiler.. even the timing…
well, since you obviously know what is going to happen, it all makes sense to you, but for those of us that have not already read the entire book and don't know all the spoilers, all we saw was a bunch of random people standing around looking awkward. maybe it will make sense in the future, but if we all drop the show because we're bored, we'll never find out
Akk is hot af, the show is kinda boring right now, they need to move the pacing along more. Nothing interesting is happening right now. Also, the teasers where Akk and Theo get close for some mundane reason and then everything slows down is waaaay overdone and annoying.
I like Akk and Theo together, I wish the plot was something else though. I'm not against the harem thing, but I'm already invested in Akk and Theo and the harem part just seems distracting right now. Maybe the whole point is to make Akk jealous so he realizes his true feelings for Theo? Idk.
I was willing to go along on the first ep, but the 2nd ep was more of the same: mostly bland setup.
Ep 3 needs to really step it up, or this one might get dropped.
Just a week and half left! Can't wait for the end! Jane's acting was on point in this ep! And Mek too! The drunk dancing scene with him and Joss was 🔥
This was a good episode, but they're trying to have it both ways. It's incongruous to have a strong statement…
Yeah, I hear you. I'm kind of torn. I think this show is doing a better job than most of GMMTV's shows at addressing real issues (obviously, they had a protest in favor of marriage equality), but I also agree, it would be nice to have the characters be explicitly gay and not just this sort of "wink wink" bisexuality thing. I mean, I don't know about you, but when I'm drinking with friends, we tend to talk about who we are attracted to. Even if we don't label it, it would be pretty obvious when we start talking about thinking a dude is hot (or a girl for my women friends) that we are queer. I do wish they would do more of that here. I'm less worried about the label, and more about acknowledgment that they are also part of the LGBTQ+ community. I do feel like GMMTV does go to lengths to make it seem like their male characters are 99% straight so that they can imply that they are not *really* gay and are not really part of the LGBTQ community. I hope that this show breaks the mold.
After episode 7 I finally know why I can't connect with Not Me. I totally agree with the message conveyed but…
The conversations these folks are having are the same ones I have with my friends, my coworkers, my students. The antiwork movement is growing, unionization, fair wages, etc... all over the world. I attend protests against police brutality, in favor of equality for people of all sexes and genders, etc... all the time. Maybe it seems preachy to you because you are not used to being in spaces where people are having authentic conversations about these things, but believe me, they are happening. All over the world.
Now, if the issues is, you just don't like it, that's up to you. But the conversations are real. You may find them boring, but I don't. I'm living for this. And so are lots of others. Do you <3
This episode really gave justice to Gun's character, White... Those smartas* glasses he wore in earlier episodes…
For real! I have always been a little disappointed in GMMTV because they make so much money off of gay characters but rarely do they do anything to show support for the LGBTQ+ community (most of the actors are straight of course). I feel like they have a lot of missed opportunities to make up for, but this episode make me so happy. I have been to a lot of protests here in the US, from anti-death penalty rallies, vigils after terror attacks, the Women's March in DC, protests against the police who killed George Floyd, etc.. and this was a real one! I also read that the director invited real activists from the student protest movement, LGBTQ+ activists, etc... to be in the show, and you can tell b/c that protest was amazing!
Also, the scene when Sean arrives on his motorcycle and looks at White across the pride flag was iconic. So much love!
Fah and Thorn's relationship is progressing, and I love the way it's going! Aii is maybe my least favorite character, because he is one of those people who is goal oriented, but he lets his goals make him mean to other people (for example, the voice message he sent to Saen last episode).

Can't wait for the next ep!
