Only reason I'm watching is that there aren't many BL dramas airing right this moment. This is the kind of quality you might expect from one of the smaller countries who only just jumped on the BL train -- not Thailand. Amateurish low-budget productions like this aren't going to cut it much longer.

Nope! But thanks anyway :)

EST is easy to calculate from Thai time, since it's twelve hours behind -- you just need to change am to pm (or pm to am)!

Everyone else generally has an inkling of how their time zone relates to UTC, which is why I used that as a reference. CET, for instance, is UTC+1 (or UTC+2 with DST).

I was just about to post this -- adding that 1:30 amThai time is 18.30 (6:30 pm) UTC, so that's when it will be available with subs.

I wonder which region(s) it will be available in on WeTV.

I know, I've commented on this before! It's very confusing. Maybe it's something they want to keep as a surprise twist in the series, in which case the description here is a huge spoiler, which is very unfortunate (but not unusual here on MDL, sadly).

Sorry, don't want to read anything spoilery before the series has even started.

This is kind of batshit crazy, but I'm enjoying it. But then I loved YYY, so...

I don't think so.

As far as I can tell, it's not BL.
EDIT: I'd be happy to be proven wrong, though.

Yeah, I think most Chinese productions dub all the dialogue, and it's pretty rare that they let the actors do their own dubs, isn't it?

I actually read that as a capitalised company name, so I didn't take offense, but thank you for standing up against perceived rudeness!

That's how I read it, so no worries.

Oh, gods, I certainly hope not.

This seems to be very common in Pinoy and Thai BL, the ladyboys are almost always comic relief (though not really funny) and it makes me so uncomfortable.

Thanks!

It's advertised on Asterisk Entertainment's YouTube channel, which is why I assumed it was their project.

Adachi does use his ability to try and get ahead at one point -- but he doesn't do it actively, he just uses information he got inadvertently, without intention. And he beats himself up about it afterwards.
In fact, I don't think Adachi is all that great at self-control. I think he's just a very kind person, and it never really occurs to him to use his ability for nefarious means. Think about how shy, awkward and insecure he is, and how few friends he has (basically only Tsuge at the start of the story). He's not really friendly with anyone in his workplace (but he still does whatever Urabe asks him to and puts up with his borderline harassment). And then think about what he must have gone through while growing up to make him that way. He was probably lonely, possibly bullied, very likely excluded from a lot of social contexts. He could have become cynical, antisocial, full of resentment toward others. But he isn't. He is still a sweet cinnamon roll who harbours no ill will at all against other people (even as he sighs at his own inability to set limits against Urabe, or rolls his eyes at how cool and accomplished Kurosawa is, lol). And this is part of what makes us root for him as Kurosawa's love interest, even though we too can see that Kuro is out of his league *socially*. Because Adachi is so good, he *deserves* Kurosawa!

I am totally with you on the depressing BLs, or the ones with sad endings. I watch BL for much the same reason that I read romance; as an escape from reality and for the endorphin kick. I don't want my romance to be realistic. I crave "kilig" moments and happy endings, because what good would my escapism be if it was just as depressing as real life? So yeah, I dropped things like "90 Days" and got very mad at "My Extraordinary". I also haven't dared watch "Make Our Days Count" yet (though I might do it and stop before the end). But (as you may guess from my userpic) I ADORED "I Told Sunset About You" despite all the tissues I went through!

It's easier with written romance novels because there's an industry standard that romance = HEA (or at least a HFN), but with BL dramas there's no such guarantee. It doesn't help that there's no consensus in the industry about what the label "BL" actually stands for and what makes it different from media labelled LGBTQ, and since BL is a huge trend that sells, I get the feeling that some producers use the label a bit indiscriminately. (And then you get productions like Cherry Magic where the producers specifically DID NOT use the BL label, even though I don't feel that there's any doubt about it being one.)

EDITED to add because I forgot: I completely understand how you feel about SOTUS. I think it's a really good series, and they are both good actors, but the love story isn't 100% convincing for me, and part of that is Arthit's character or the way Krist plays it.

This was super interesting, RandomUsagi! Thank you so much!
