Hum, I don't know about that. She writes things that wouldn't fly in the community (no consent, no discussion of boundaries, no communication, no negotiation, no honesty...). To me, it's more likely she fetishizes the community but doesn't really know it. Just like E.L James and her bs with Fifty Shades of Grey.
Well, of course, one could argue she differentiates between life and fiction and chooses to write bs instead of her experience...

I see what you mean but chemistry and skinship aren't the same : you can have chemistry with your co-star and yet be uncomfortable with kisses and NC scenes. BrightWin had chemistry in 2gether but they gave us nothing. KristSingto has chemistry yet Krist is uncomfortable and it shows in some of their kisses.
In CLW, EarthMixx had many kisses with awkward positions yet they delivered each time, because they stay in character and don't shy away from skinship. They kiss with emotion. JimmySea aren't there yet.

I couldn't agree more. Talking about kiss: KhaoFirst's kiss in The Eclipse was excellent. It wasn't passionate or sexy but it gave all the right feels while staying consistent with the characters and their relationship at that point of the storyline. VV can't even do that. TalayPuen have been (unofficial) boyfriends for a year and they act like they're afraid to touch each other. The directing is definitely at fault but I also believe that actors who are really involved in their craft can do more than what they're asked to do. Had JimmySea been good actors, they would have kissed with more feelings even though their bodies weren't positioned the best way.

I don't know either. Maybe it was to show the step father isn't that mean? He's rude and tactless, seems old school and doesn't know how to deal with a gay son, but he's not evil? Or to show Tua's mom told him to be nicer?

That was adorable. It's refreshing to see fem characters having boyfriends and being happily in love. I love the representation in this series.

Imo, I feel we don't see her enough to grasp her motivation. We can see she's not convinced by the school rules but we don't have enough clues about her intentions. I find her a bit useless for now.

Lol, ok. And I totally agree. The way he's sexy, sassy and confident, I cannot.

BDE ?

I screamed, I laughed, I cried. This episode gave me life!
The locker room scene, when Ayan shushed Akk was so sexy! And the kiss gave me butterflies. I'm gonna watch this episode every day until next friday :-)
Man, I love everything about Ayan. He's now one of my favorite MC. Khaotung is awesome: every facial expression, every laugh is on point.

Ikr! He's so cute and funny and the actor is good, the best in the cast.

Who's butt hurt here? Are you ok? Need some therapy?

Tharn from TharnType ? Pete from LBC? Kinn from KinnPorsche? TangYi from Trapped? Fei Zheng Ze from Right or Wrong? And so many more...

I already had reservations about this series and now they removed Mike?! Krist and Gawin? Fck no! Krist doesn't have chemistry with anyone except Singto, he can't even create chemistry with his female co-stars. I like Gawin but he's on the shy side, he'd have to bring 200% of the chemistry for this pairing to actually work. I'm already sad for him.

Yeah that was bad, and so was the convo next morning when they were running. I was expecting more tenderness. They didn't acknowledge what happened.

"Like someone said on youtube, it's' dom brat tamer' and 'sub brat' dynamics and they have been a bit kinky from the start. "
-> Yeah I agree. But I'd say PhayuRain is more Daddy/boy dynamic. I believe that is what Mame is depicting. However, Daddy/boy doesn't necessarily mean you literally treat you partner as a kid. You can talk to them, explain your thought process, your expectations. Daddy/Boy dynamic can be a lot of things: age and/or incomes difference, status difference, kinky sex, a role play or a way of life, a mentor/student bond... Of course, the dynamic operates differently depending on the people in the relationship. However, the basis of Daddy/boy is trust and communication. The nurturing and growth aspect of the Daddy/boy dynamic is well represented in Love in the Air (Phayu is helping Rain to manage his school workload, to be more responsible...) but the honesty and communication part is lacking since Phayu doesn't talk to Rain and has to manipulate him to do what he wants. There's no discussion about their expectations to make sure they're both on the same page. I have friends in the Daddy/boy and BDSM community and I've yet to see Daddies speak to their boys like they're stupid 5yo. Obviously, every couple has their own definition of Daddy/boy, so what we’re seeing here is possible. I’m simply saying I don’t appreciate Phayu’s actions, especially when they’re already in a power unbalanced relationship.

Really? How come?

Ngl, I cringed during the scene where Phayu told Rain they can't see each other. While I understand what he wanted to accomplish I don't like his method. It's not what he said but how he said it. He's right to want a responsible and successful lover, to want Rain to do better. I appreciate he has good intention and really likes Rain. However, his phrasing is once again condescending. Phayu decided by himself to stop seeing Rain and didn't acknowledge him. I mean, Rain behaves like a kid but he's still an adult, so he should be treated as such : they can talk about the situation, Phayu can explain his expectations and they can find together a solution suitable for both of them. What we got instead is Phayu manipulating Rain so that he would get his desired outcome. Hum, that might be cute here but it can become problematic if your lover acts like this every day, for every decision. Well, I guess that's the story we're getting, a 24yo talking to his 19yo boyfriend like he's 5. I should make peace with it lol.
On another note, that NC scene was quite well executed. Kudos to Noeul and Boss :-)

It's not you, Boss's acting isn't good. Not awful but he doesn't emote right. Hopefully he'll improve with time.

I blocked them lol. I don't see their comments anymore. I wonder if they're still here harassing people :-)

Totally agree. I feel nothing when they're together. They don't complement each other on the acting level. And I don't see the chemistry. I thought it was because of their (boring) characters in UMWA but I'm watching Oh My Sunshine and I conclude that I just don't connect with this pairing.
