After 5 years, they're finally freeing this lakorn from the basement. So for those who are waiting on filmed dramas, do not worry CH3 are super slow but they release their stocked dramas eventually
wait there are two episodes a week, I'm confused 😕
no. just one ep per week but they did two eps just for the first week, and fast track starting from the second week. so this week there's only 1 ep (ep 5 fast track) https://x.com/khunbobb/status/1968840945023037905?s=46
not completely based on manipulation because ML (Wi) does seem to be sincere with the MC (Dr Nong) to an extent…
His sister overworked herself because of the crappy hospital system in the rural countryside so she fell asleep while driving and crashed her car on the side of the road and is currently in coma -> Nong run for MP so he can push for policies to reduce work hours of doctors, punish those who sell/pass shifts
boy in a bl. interesting. can someone spoil me about the relationship between two leads? is it really based on…
not completely based on manipulation because ML (Wi) does seem to be sincere with the MC (Dr Nong) to an extent but he may have some hidden agendas. 4 out of 8 episodes so far Wi isn't hiding anything big yet from Nong except the fact that he's still in contact with his ex - an opposing political candidate.
Haven't watched it yet, but I'm surprised by the rather subdued reception to this series. I remembered when the…
the production leans more into television/lakorn style series rather than cinematic netflix-like series that the initial teaser gave off so folks may think it's low budget. i think it's one of the most interesting bl scripts this year. the low rating may also come from its inaccessibility and the bad english subs provided by monomax which don't translate well the full nuance and ingenuity of the script. if this were to be provided on a more accessible platform with better subtitles, this show is an easy 8.0 in comparison to other bl series
I know a lot of people haven’t gotten around to watching this yet. Totally fair. But if you do get the chance,…
it really is soooo good. sure there is dramatisation and exaggeration but a lot of the portrayal of thai electoral politics are very close to real life events whether it's the parliamentary dissolution, opposing parties playing tricks and staging scenes to thwart their political opponents' campaigns and images or parties pledging cash handout schemes to attract voters... as a viewer of some other monomax works, i think it's very close to what they usually offer on the site although probably less bloody/gory/action-packed because that isn't the main genre in the series where as that is Monomax's forte.
Just want to add on your point about Mandate not being designed for the BL crowd. I think this is very true because from the press junkets, Producer Moo Asava (who cameo'ed as singer A Ashwin in EP 4) elaborated on the beginning point of this project being that Monomax approached him about wanting to make a BL series for their platform (which usually does action/horror/thriller lakorn series) and P'Moo wanted to tackle something completely different from the current market and found his niche/untapped theme being gay politicians. I could tell there's a lot of passion into the series and I really hope people who are willing to give this fresh series a chance, especially those who are interested in politics.
Official YT EP01,EP02 with English subtitle thru NekoCap. EP01: https://nekocap.com/view/FvB9rw3Mm7EP02: https://nekocap.com/view/YdMCvpKQ9Z(Spanish)EP01:…
Thank you for the nekocaps! gagaoolala is not available in SEA so it's great to have nekocaps subs so we can watch straight on youtube and contribute to the official views in some way
No good English translation exists yet, which makes this kind of dialogue-heavy drama tough to follow. So here’s…
Thank you for the recap. Just a correction, Nong didn't save his dad, he saved the other patient first but unfortunately/ironically that guy died while his dad survived; hence Nong saying he's not even sure if one could say he made the wrong/right decision that day.
THIS SHOW!!!!!! that rating is so criminal and doesn't reflect the quality of the series at all. it's really well-filmed. i love how loving hill and junji are with each other. that scene where hill tells junji that he has to rest as well >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> i love junji now that he's loosened and opened himself to hill. the bit where he just closes his laptop after enjoying the massage from hill ahhhhhhh they're really adorable
