I'm so happy for them! More people need to find CM. Though I do feel kind of smug that I was a fan from ep 1 (but I didn't join any livestreams, since I don't understand Japanese).

Well,it's pretty obvious from the results of LBC 2 that Mean's heart wasnt in it. It looked like he was doing Tin because he was contractually obliged to, but really didnt want to.

I agree that some actors just click, whether the roles are romantically involved or not. And it's usually obvious when they don't, unless they are super professional.

Same! I tuned in for a little while, but left since I dont speak a word of Japanese. But it was nice to see them so relaxed and comfortable.

It's a god tier series, everyone should watch it!

I use Chrome with the Free VPN browser extension, it has Thailand as an option. No ads, slowed down my connection a bit but not enough to influence the playback.

Check under "Discussions", there's a topic bout it.

Where can I find this teaser? Asking for a friend. ;)

Mean (if we're talking about the same Mean) has left BL. (Then again Perth said that too, but maybe he just meant he won't play a gay character anymore.)

What a wonderful interview! Thank you for sharing it!

Thanks a lot!

Well, glad to hear they are not completely beholden to MV, at least. It seems like a shit company to work for.

Thank you! She sounds awesome. And it makes her scenes with Supot a lot more poignant.

Oh, I totally feel you. I had to take a break from BL for a couple of days after watching the ITSAY finale, and the only thing I managed to follow it with was GSP. ITSAY kind of broke me in the best of ways.

Exactly. The message should be "Don't give up, don't despair, it may seem bad but it will get better. Find the people who will stand by you and have your back if your own family won't, because they are out there. Have faith, have courage."

I was surprised to see dramas on the list that are not in fact BLs, like The Boy Next Door (which is a spoof with two straight boys) and The Untamed and Guardian (which are only BL if you squint very, very hard while wearing anti-chinese-censorship glasses and using our imagination, lol). But I guess it's a list where anyone can add shows themselves? I tried to add Love Sick 1, which is a BL, but I can't see if it made it on to the list.

What a good place to start! Just don't think of it as your benchmark for BL dramas -- not many of them are as lovely as this.

That girl is going to go far, mark my words!

Would you mind telling me more about Prim's background and her involvement with the protests?

I agree, Enzo and Darwin did a stellar job, and their scenes in episode five before everything went to hell are among the best I've seen in BL.

And it's not like the suicide rates are negligible in the LGBTQIA+ community as it is.
Some of the BL dramas we've seen may be very superficial and trite, or even full of harmful stereotypes, but we do still need stories that treat gay love as *romantic* instead of tragic, perhaps full of struggles, but in the end triumphant. I personally believe that normalising gay love will help a lot more in changing opinions and ending homophobia, while still giving hope to young people, and nice entertainment to the rest of us.
