IMO it's pretty normal in queer communities to be friends with your exes, hookups etc. because it's generally…
agree! it really feels like the queer group next door, and I love the vibe they have!
also, Dean seems like he's pretty "open" with people making them understand that their flings are just that and no "real love" is part of the game, so if you're ok you're ok and we keep being friends and hang together, if not then don't even bother.
I would totally date someone like Moth in real life but not someone like Dean....never!Maybe bcos I see myself…
SAME! During the different days I was always thinking "omg I would love this date" during Moth's days and I would have run away during Dean's parties. XD
Dean: "Ehi, I said take a shower! Why are you still wearing your clothes? ...why are you so shy?" Moth: "...I'm not! ***proceeds to take off his shirt*** Are you happy now?"
Me: YESSS!!!!
I will never get tired of saying, Est is one of the most beautiful idols in GMMTv right now. He has a perfect but unique/interesting face, AND an amazing body. Also, he's such a smooth actor and this gives to each and every character he portrays an amazing aura.
Episode 8 ended and I found myself teary-eyed in quite a few scenes...! I love how Bay embraces everything about Sun, understands him and fully supports him... and Sun, who always needs to be perfect and performing, can be himself only with him.
This series is indeed no masterpiece, but it's so solid and well-done! All the boys are showing great chemistry and good acting, and there are so many examples of good communication and positive relationships... it warms my heart!
You know, I'm 39 years old and I've been watching asian dramas for 26 years - I'm so proud to see how nowadays there are so many more examples of green flags in stories! Because real life sucks already, and relationships are so difficult every day, with so much toxicity... setting good examples through series is something we really need... especially for the younger viewers!
Your review seems to judge the story by whether every element matched personal expectations, rather than by what…
For example, just some random things that pop up to my mind now: -- Sky. Guy is an idol trainee and has a manger, BUT he gets panic attacks when a camera is closeby. How did he do the castings, the profile pictures, the interviews etc etc without his manager noticing? Now this is something huge that could have been interesting IF it was addressed correctedly, because there is absolutely no way nobody in a whole agency and office and crew has never noticed his panic attacks. -- Sun getting dressed as a grey bunny and going to Jay with the drinks (why? couldn't he just go in normal clothes?), and even after Jay recognizes him and hugs him, Sun doesn't make 1+1? How many people on earth could there be who are in love with a boy dressed as a mascot bunny? It's not even sexy, it's grotesque! T_T -- THE WHOLE head department of Dream entertainment isn't able to read a contract? These 20 people (directors and investors, so we're not talking no-brainers) have no lawyers, no advisors, nobody in their offices who can read a contract? -- And also: you have a partner whom you don't like, and nobody over there did some research on Jay's background? Thai surnames are unique, meaning no family can have the same surname. He's not using his mother's surname, but you can't tell me nobody knows his father surname... -- Sunny not recognizing Sun: nobody sent him a picture of this "new idol trainee"? Nobody told him his name? He has spies all over the place and people trying to kick this new-trainee's ass, BUT nobody knows his name or face? -- "omg what does your tattoo mean" and Sun answering "i don't know, I just liked it" or something like that. Guy's name is SUN and the tattoo is S shaped with a sun..... such a difficult and obscure meaning...... ^^'
Just some random things that come to my mind right now. But yeah, while watching the later episodes, as things happened, I kept thinking: "are you serious? why would you do that?" but not in terms of "don't be crazy and do crazy stuff" but in an actual "nobody would ever do or say something like that for any reason because it completely makes no sense"... and that's a pity because I get the whole revenge/karma/worth topics but they could have been developed waaaay better, if the writing team put a bit more effort.

Well no, I didn't really have any particular expectation (outside of the fact that the rating is pretty high) and what I'm talking about aren't "flaws" of the characters themselves (for example I loved the villain, because Sunny was not the usual bidimensional "bad guy") which I usually appreciate and understand, but factual choices of things happening that would be common sense - and that here don't happen because the writers needed excuses or shortcuts. Just a few ones under spoiler.
I know I will receive tons of hate for this, BUT still... that's my two cents (or rather, my two baths).
I'm sorry but for me, this was totally a wasted show. The first few episodes were interesting although a bit "flat", but it was a good build up for a plot that seemed rich and thrilling (Sammon's name is usually a guarantee, at least for me). Also, both leads have insane chemistry and complement each other perfectly in terms of visuals... TopTap is probably one of the sexiest guys I've seen on screen this year, AND the fact that he's always "in heat mode" makes it even more noticeable... ^^ Anyway, series has nice premise BUT then as the episodes progress, things happen and basically everyone is half stupid: most of the characters act in ways that are completely out of common sense, or are oblivious so much to the limits of disbelief... and the whole plot suffers so much of lazy writing, I was on "meh" or "sigh" mode for the whole second part. Also the audio compartment was on holiday for most of the time: bad editing, empty moments, background noises, terrible volumes.... ^^'
Still, I finished it (I have this severe form of no-dropping-sickness so the doctor forced me to finish watching) and I will admit JaySun deserve an award for their feral kisses AND vivid nc-scenes... but yeah, aside from that, I only loved the trio Sky/Sun/Kajorn and I'm for team PakinSky too! Also, kudos to Fuaiz who's always a scene-stealer, and I'm in love with Lilly who was so charming as director Karn! T_T
Hope these two get another project together tho': they have a lot of potential!
Special episode should be the two of them banging like rabbits and never leaving bed/bathroom, don't you think?…
ahahahah XD well we definitely need to see them lovey-dovey, they are so cute together! i'm not asking for much, but please at least give us a kiss T_T
Ok so please tell me I'm not the only one who was expecting a kiss at that 4... 3... 2... 1...
And when the episode ended with yet 5 mins to the end, I thought: THERE HAS TO BE an extra scene! It can't just end like this! T_T
(and ok there'll be a special episode next week, I'm happy because I'm not ready to let these two go... but but but, although I loved how they managed to give us DaWei story, the finale felt so rushed and flat! T_T)
like what? by all means, do tell 🤔the last good Thai BL I've seen before this one was Khemjira! what have I…
agreed on the ending... every episode up to the last one was (almost) PERFECT, and then they decided to throw everything away for who-knows-what reason ^^
Nooo, don't believe the comments. Give it a shot, he's doing an amazing job. You're missing out if you are skipping…
I usually don't like too toxic stories/characters... this sounds very "Revenged Love" styled and that's one of those series everyone hyped but I found totally unlikable, so I kinda feel like this would be the same T_T
Just started this and please don't tell me I'm the only one seeing (and hearing!) Mark Jiruntanin anytime nong Sky is on screen! He might be my favorite character as of now (just finished ep3), along with their manager.
Did anyone who loved this series find the first episode boring?Trying to decide if I should continue watching…
I started this now out of the very high rating and the first episode was quite "meh" for me too, but 2 and 3 are building up! As of now I don't find it groundbreaking but it's pretty engaging (although I put it on 1.25x to be honest) and I'm very curious to see how the whole revenge thing will be done!
I’ve always liked Tongtong in To Sir, with Love because of his smile and his brightness, and now I like him…
I love him too, and agree he looks so different here! He def lost weight, also the makeup is pretty "flat" on him in this series (obviously since he's like a vampire... but it makes him look so stern and cold and he feels distant yet fragile at the same time!)
also, Dean seems like he's pretty "open" with people making them understand that their flings are just that and no "real love" is part of the game, so if you're ok you're ok and we keep being friends and hang together, if not then don't even bother.
Moth: "...I'm not! ***proceeds to take off his shirt*** Are you happy now?"
Me: YESSS!!!!
