I don't see it as white privilege actually, more like he got the part because he's "HOT"... he needs to learn…
I honestly have no idea why or how too, but I believe people should know that they have private lives.. so maybe that's why the photo was released.. to remove the delusion from crazy fans. Is it right?! No, but the only illusion should be onscreen. Other BL production companies usually hide it because they want to milk the delulu fans and it always works..the more fanservice, the faster fans give them money.. it's the same thing with the Straight dramas playing an off screen co-star romance for publicity. Ships bring in money

I've always wondered why fans like the illusion that they know is not real.. Thai dramas enable that. I've been a BL fan for many,many years and even though I have ships, I wouldn't be betrayed if they were dating a girl in real life. It is acting after all.. I ship MaxTul and Mewgulf but I know they'll want to expand their portfolios one day. An actor usually wants range. Here in Japan, there's been two actors who went from Super Sentai (Power Rangers) to BL.. then went on to do more.. Fans were not angry rather kept on supporting them, including me

As a Japanese blasian person, I can honestly say..it's not about hiring someone who's darker or fully Asian! It's about them hiring someone who's talented and embodies the character. Gulf Kanawut got cast as Type in Tharntype because he embodied the character well, and you can tell. He was new to BL and he took his role seriously. Bright could have been fully Asian and his acting still would need work. He was not invested in the character. I wouldn't want to be cast just because I'm a hafu, I'd want my talents to be appreciated. I know what his management went for and the same thing happens in straight media. Management companies have their people go through Disney channel and get fame. Is it right? No!!! But it the world of entertainment!! The problems lies in the acting and the script. Even if a darker person was cast, if his acting was like Bright, the result would have been the same
Sorry but Bright can not act at all. White privilege in Southeast Asian countries can land you a lead role in…
I don't see it as white privilege actually, more like he got the part because he's "HOT"... he needs to learn acting and maybe stop taking roles he's not comfortable with. The whole thing needed a rewrite! The script, the lead couple's chemistry and the pacing. Other successful BLs ,have actors who are extremely close and whose chemistry show on camera. This show rode on the BL hype wave that people were on in 2019, that's why it had such a large viewing! If it had been released when things had cooled off... It'd have flopped harder
I just saw the trailer..I tried going in open minded but, I felt nothing..no excitement,no hype..i watched it three times and still could not get hooked.. I'll wait to see Clips I guess but I won't be staying awake for this one..
Oh God ex girlfriend drama! Can we have a change of antagonist please.. why do you always bring the ladies for that trope??...Anyway it's still going on my "Will watch list"
hope Bright gets more acting lessons
