Taking that photograph was a huge mistake.

Their relationship is based on sharing the same intellect as well as being physically attracted to each other.

They had been communicating with each other via the articles printed in the newspaper, by the time they met in person they had already had several conversations.

His relationship with Naran is cheating on his wife and Naran’s partner but it’s made more complex by that fact that Krailert is trapped in a marriage that he was forced into , he doesn’t to be married to a woman and he does not and cannot love her.

I think you’re right about Victor but I also think there will be serious repercussions for Victor’s dad if and when his book is published. Victor’s mother might experience overwhelming loss & grief.

Sadly, considering the time period, Krailert’s marital status, the political climate and social pressures, I don’t think a happy ending is possible.

I don’t want to see even a hint of sadness or sadness on Junxi’s face. Hopefully it’s all resolved in the next episode

Thank you very much for this detailed explanation. Shine has definitely sparked my interest in Thai history.

I can’t answer your question about the general response to Shine but personally I am really enjoying it. I’ve watched a lot of BL and the quality of writing, acting and directing varies considerably.

I admit that I do enjoy cute BLs with beautiful scenery and happy couples and these seem to be the most popular but I also need to watch BLs that have depth. Shine is in a unique category of BLs that are about so more than just the romantic or intimate relationship between the main leads with beautiful beaches in the background.

I am keen to know more about Thailand’s history. I would visit my local library but the fact that no one would have left me secret messages in the books makes me feel a little sad.

It does look as though he’s developed feelings for Trin. I suspect that it will all end in tears.

I don’t think it’s hatred in his eyes. I saw jealousy or anger but I could be wrong.

It’s been said before but I have to say it again. What on earth was that scene at the end of episode 8? Why was the scene included at all? It would have made more sense to show the two characters having a conversation about taking their relationship to the intimacy stage and then the next scene could have just shown them lying side by side afterwards without the awkward nonsense we were subjected to.

It is possible to create BL stories without NC scenes, Old Fashioned Cupcake is one of my favourites JBL and a perfect example of creating a series without no NC scenes but the relationship between the MLs is still believable.

I’d like to know what the reason is behind the dead fish kisses and the plank pose. Are the actors uncomfortable with each other? Has the director being forced to participate in this project and is showing their resentment by creating odd moments?

This series in the same category as Flirt Milk and Dinosaur Love in terms of slow moving story and the standard of acting.

There have been a large amount of BL series released this year and there are still more on the way. Viewers expect more and this series isn’t delivering so far.

I had the same reaction. This series could be concluded in 8 episodes, possibly 10 with at least one filler episode where nothing actually happens.

Yes, first two episodes were available yesterday.

I get the impression that he’s meant to have a lovable excited puppy personality but instead he has younger sibling energy.

Another two episodes were released today on Gaga

Natcha needs to move on, no amount of crying or looking sad is going to change their relationship status.

She already crossed boundaries when she kissed Kan when she thought he was asleep

I saw a comment saying that this series is similar to or based on My Gear Your Gown. I can’t remember which. I haven’t seen My Gear Your Gown but know that both have a medical student and an engineering student as the main leads.

Yes, there are two episodes per week

I’ve now watched episode 3. He never confessed his feelings so why did he say that he won’t lose him again?

The situation with Mud deciding to steal Knight’s girlfriend because Knight liked Mild doesn’t explain why Mud hates Knight.

This series is starting to feel a little like Eye Contact ( a series I regret watching).
