After watching episode 6 of 'To Be Continued' last week, I wondered why two young people of the same sex, like…
Achi & Ji's whole storyline is based on the miscommunication trope. A trope that you can find in all kind of fiction, from any country, in straight or queer series. It's not specific to Thailand or BL. I'm sure you have watched many Thai bl and Kbl so what with this nonsense? You talked like thai bls like ITSAY, The Eclipse and Not Me don't exist. You talked like you've never noticed kbls barely include parents or a support system who know the character is gay. How many kbls have a coming out scene ? How many kbls have a scene where the character confide in his parents about his love life ? How many kbls address gay rights such as marriage or adoption ? It doesn't happen cause SK is a very conservative country and house productions refuse or can't adress the queer community reality . Kbls are even more fantasy than thai bls so I don't understand the point of your writing exercise.
The way the novel shaped it, the events are identical in both worlds. However, depending on the choices the people…
Thanks for the explanation. I see why it would have been difficult to incorporate all the novel details. However, they could have done it differently. For example: Kram2 goes to see Phupha1, he starts working for him. One day he witnesses a murder attempt on Phupha1 and understands that both worlds are somehow connected. He then "hires" Tai1 to save Phupha1. This narration kills two birds with one stone: it gives a bit of worldbuilding and a logical reason for the TaiKram's romance to happen.
Qian not answering San Pang is an answer in itself... . I bet Qian had feelings for Yuan for a couple of years prior to the big reveal but mistook it for brotherly love. Now, he knows he has feelings but doesn't know what it is exactly : brotherly love, aching since Yuan left, fear... He's now understanding that Yuan was his sun, always in orbit around him, and unconsciously Qian depended on him a lot. I mean, they've been acting like a married couple for years lol. I can't wait to see how they'll explain the shift, what exactly is gonna make him yield.
The storytelling is quite confusing thanks to the flashbacks but my biggest issue with the series is why, from the beginning, did they believe that what happened in Kram's world would happen in this world ? They know nothing about the other world, no rule has been explained so far so the whole plot about saving Phupa is dumb. I thought the story was about Kram approaching Phupa to recreate their romance while falling unexpectedly for Thai. I agree that Nat is acting better with Gun, he's more relaxed, natural. However, to be fair, he hasn't had many scenes with Max and those scenes were more challenging for him, acting wise.
The series was almost good but missed the mark. - Second couple is toxic. In 2024 we don't want to see a victimxbully romance. The whole story isn't even developed properly. - Seheon forgivingJooha when he didn't even apologize to him. - Taeyi SA Seheon but next day he's ok with himself and brave enough to kiss Seheon ?Sure...OOC behavior just to create unecessary angst. - Minimal chemistry between Taeyi and Seheon, and tepid kisses.
Not my cup of tea. Too juvenile for me. I have a crush on Milk and was expecting something better for her. I was excited at first with the first trailer but now I'm watching an overly cute and cringe high school drama... I'll continue watching to support Milk and because tbh the series isn't bad.
I think I am weird , I must be ! or crazy at least .. cuz back in the days when history 4 came up I couldn't accept…
Cause the story is nothing alike. Same trope, different narrative. In History4, the young brother acted like a predator, he manipulated his brother and even raped him. Impossible to root for them.
Top and tee were close it was hinted from the starting..phee was always in love with non why wouldn't he behave…
Tee asked for Top's help 2 times I think but IIRC it wasn't explain how he helped him ? I mean, if you're acting as a spy wanting your target to fall in love with you, wouldn't you be glad he wants to be boyfriends ? Even if he was feeling guilty or was pissed with the gang, shouldn't Phee continued his "game" to learn what they did to Non ? And even if he had feelings for Jin, why didn't he cajole him and continue the relationship while still getting information ? That's what I mean when I say the whole thing didn't make sense. Feel like it was just to create a bl pairing.
People were playing with lots of theories that's why director played villain like:"oh, let me show you how to…
Third paragraph... Have you ever seen thai series other than bls ? They do a lot of horror movies and series and they're quite good. DDF isn't new in that regard.
I came to the conclusion that I don't like Sammon's writing. She tries too hard with the mystery, the suspense, adds a lot of details and subplots but doesn't address them at the end. What about Tee's uncle's death ? Who thought like me that it was related to the murderer ? And what about Top helping in Tee's scheme ? They had 1 or 2 discussions about it but it was never really explained. She makes the characters behave a certain way to further the plot but at the end it doesn't really make sense => why would Phee dump Jin like that if he wanted to know about Non ? That was a stupid move. And what happened for 2 years after they "broke up" ? Are we supposed to believe they never met again ? Phee who's smart and tenacious could not make Jin listen to him ? Por under the influence, run in the wood and impaled himself right on the branch New had cut ? Right... And I always feel the end is rushed and/or resolved too easily. I had the same issues with Manner of Death and Triage, though I enjoyed Triage more than MOD. As a fan of the thriller genre I can't help seeing the flaws in her writing. That being said, it's a 8/10 for me cause it's original for a bl, it's quite well acted and I'm a fan of horror movies.
