I agree. She's just being a martyr.
I also feel terrible for Chi Cheng, who obviously saw her as his mother-in-law and a much nicer, more caring mother figure than his own. So he's also genuinely devastated. It's so painful.

That's why he did that to begin with, because he was jealous of Chi Cheng and Guo Chengyu. He would rather destroy his own relationship than see them being close to each other.

Absolutely. It's one thing if she had something curable or temporary, but what she's doing now is keeping WSW from spending as much time as he can with her while it's not too late.

Considering the wild unsubstantiated rumours we've had so far I wouldn't trust anything I hear about this cast

She's just hurting him even more by doing that 🤬

Yes, Guo Chengyu is dubbed by a voice actor in the series, so unless you've watched a lot of the BTS where we hear their own voices, you wouldn't recognise it as his voice

The actor who plays Guo Chengyu

I'm really mad at her. If your parent was seriously ill, wouldn't you want to know, so you'll have no regrets later?

"I'm Sorry" by Bruce Maginnis and Braden Evans.
Check YT channel "Audio Palette", they've collected most of the ost songs.

I lasted about ten minutes, max, before I noped out of episode 1. Sorry, but this was definitely not for me. It's shows like these that give Thai BL a bad rep.

What does this have to do with RL?

I was speaking more in general about this what I call old-school type of BL. At best it's totally bland girls with no personality, a lot of the time they're selfish and annoying, at worst outright narcissistic, and even if the latter, the guys still stay loyal to them and cater to their every whim, for some obscure reason. Maybe it's cultural, and there's actually some truth behind it, idk.

There are cases where girls seem totally psychotic (original "Love Sick" had one of these, and "Together With Me" had one of the worst (the gf) but also one of the best (the friend) girls in BL).

It's a bit too early to define the girls in this drama yet, except that Tum's gf, like you said, definitely seems to fall into the selfish-and-annoying category.

Especially these old-school type BL, what is the deal with them? Firstly, it's misogynistic, secondly, it actually lowers the stakes, because any reasonably decent guy will look like a better choice compared to those selfish, annoying, sometimes even toxic, female characters. Wouldn't it be better if the girls were cool, fun and nice, and the guys still chose each other, lol

Yeah I also don't get it, it felt very contrived and forced.
I'm not against GL on principle, but this wasn't even good GL, it was shoehorned in

Yod is going after Jom because he wants his post as village chief back, and he knows he'll never get it if Jom is still around. But I agree, why is that lady who is also bidding not being attacked or at least harassed as well? Well, I guess that will change now

I think it's actually the case that while Thai BL is more prolific, the individual productions are in fact more small scale, because few other countries have the storytelling traditions that China does, or such a huge population = audience. Smaller country and smaller population means lower budgets and fewer skilled professionals. It's clear that RL is made with both a higher budget than most Thai BL (even if its low-budget *for China*) and with far more passion, vision and skill. But I also think that if BL was not banned in China, we'd see a lot more cash-cow BLs being put out as well, where the producers just want to make a quick buck and don't really care about the ip. But we'd also have epic bangers like nobody else would be able to do.

And it's not a secret that Chinese danmei novels are in a league of their own when it comes to literary quality (maybe not the source novel for this series, but YKWIM). China just has that kind of cultural advantage.

Who is shocked 😆 were they living under a rock or something, lol

Or in compulsory therapy

Sorn is hot AF but a walking red flag, the guy is like a prime example of a guy who wants to have his cake and eat it. He wants all the rights and benefits of having a boyfriend, including fidelity and the right to be jealous, without being willing to commit himself to being anything more than a casual f*ckbuddy. And he was supposed to be the mature one? At least Jun kind of knew what he was getting himself into, and his decisions kind of made sense in a way. And when he was rejected by Sorn he took the dignified path and noped out, which I respected him for. And then we got some kind of Sad Little Teenage Sorn backstory where he was once thrown under the bus by his gf, and that was it, it was supposed to redeem him from all his crappy behaviour toward Jun? That was supposed to explain why he would "never date a kid" (never mind that he was a kid himself at the time and the situations then and now are totally different)? The irony: He's just proving himself to be exactly the kind of untrustworthy manipulator he was accused of being back then, lol.

Well, I don't think anyone watched this for the plot and characterisations. The sex scenes were very hot and well choreographed and the chemistry insane—at least until they got serious near the end and Jun suddenly started acting like a reluctant virgin after cheerfully having had his brains f-ed out for half the series. And I must say that I was surprised by the acting of Oat, he was carrying the whole show in the acting department, with Boat a distant second, and the rest... let's not even mention the rest. Boat has some crazy visuals, though, I'll grant that. The man is sex on legs. Jun's motivations are perfectly understandable, lol.

But man, the rest of the couples were so pointless and gratuitous, especially the token GL girls who were... WTF even was that. Hardly any screen time, very little relationship development, just bang into snogging and sex (which seemed to be choreographed by someone completely ignorant and uninterested in FF relations). I guess it was just to get Sorn's *other* f-buddy safely out of Jun's way and tick the GL box while at it. But my main point: if you have a main couple who are not afraid to go all in and show some realistic smoking hot stuff on screen, why add side couples who shy away from it? It just makes them look bland and fake in comparison. (The lack of acting skills also didn't help.) It would have been better to keep them off the playing field.

Anyway, like I said, nobody watched this for the plot or acting...it was addictive and the Boat/Oat action was enjoyable, and I did watch all of it, so there's that. It might be just your thing, and that's fine. Just don't expect any great qualities beyond that, and you won't be disappointed. Enjoy!
