There's no way those two are straight, lol

After the train wreck of the first eps of Why Love Why, I clicked on this with a great deal of caution, and I was suprised by how good it was. Cautiously optimistic!

Isn't that just how a lot of people actually speak in the Philippines? I've noticed it in the YouTube comments that a lot of the comments from Filipinos are in Taglish, Tagalog heavily interspersed with English.

Seriously, where's the eleventh star?

It's a thing in Thailand for actors on the BL circuit to play on those things in their public appearances. Some are better friends than others and will be more comfortable playing around. It doesn't mean that they are a couple irl or even that they're gay or bi.

ITSAY won't break your heart :)

It's a remake, so you don't have to watch the original version.

So have they left MV?

Which is a really stupid bug in the system and shouldn't be possible to do.

I'm cautiously intrigued by this one. A supernatural suspense BL sounds like it could tick all my boxes.

Yes, the one redeeming factor about Ton's behaviour is that it's portrayed as buffonish and comical. It's a bit inconceivable that Ai and Nhai wouldn't have tried to educate him about homophobia before, since it's not in fact intrinsic to being straight, but then of course they wouldn't have been able to squeeze comedy out of it.

The brothel thing made me so uncomfortable. It's obvious that none of them want to be there, and Ton is forcing them because of his own insecurities around his sexuality. I get the point they're trying to make, but to me it's more cringey than funny. Even if Chon had been straight, he might not want his first time to be with a prostitute, and forcing him into this situation is really insensitive. (Also there's an underlying message that visiting a brothel is a totally normal and unproblematic thing to do.)

Look under "Recent Discussions". There's a topic there with links to all the episodes.

Seriously, I feel like I only just now understood what a 10 really means.

If this doesn't wipe the floor with all other dramas at the awards circuit, I will be very surprised. And I don't just mean the BL category. I mean ALL OTHER DRAMAS.

Please, everyone! Let us put any reveals about the ending behind spoiler tags!

I was so afraid that this series would break my heart, that when it ended like it did I was shaking and crying in pure relief. I would have loved it however it ended. But now it has my undying devotion. I don't think I've ever cried this much when watching anything, at least not in the past decade. But they did it. They managed to give us a happy ending without making it feel trite, or cheap, or like a compromise. It was beautiful, and perfect.

I feel like I have been through a wringer. But a perfect, beautiful wringer made of starlight and gold.
Before I started watching this, I thought it was far too expensive to watch legally. Well, guess what -- I ended up paying for every episode, the last one as it dropped so I could watch it directly on Vimeo, and the previous four retroactively. Because if anything deserves my money this year it's this series.

Same -- but I decided to throw them money for the other four eps too, because I could afford it, and they deserve it.

Oh, thank you! I was getting anxious because I was reloading the page and there was nothing!
