LineTV links for episode 4 are in the links post under Discussions.

If those are indeed his exact words, then it's not all that ambiguous, I agree. I'm still not sure I'd equate it with a clear statement like "Yes, I am gay/bisexual/pansexual", but it's a lot less ambiguous than a general "love has no gender" which is basically just deflection -- it says nothing about your personal preferences, but still looks supportive of the LGBTQ+ community.

As for actors who have used those words, the only name I can give you is Jeff Satur, who said it in an online PsychoMilk BL actors meetup out of the Philippines, so they were speaking in English. But I've seen others say it too fairly recently (in English or subtitle translation), though I can't give you any names at this very moment, because I suck at names and who said what.

It may be an assumption people make, but dropping vague, ambiguous statements is NOT the same as coming out. I hear a lot of Thai (and Pinoy) BL actors say things like "love has no gender"; it's almost a BL catchphrase now, which has the benefit of supporting LGBT+ love while in fact being entirely non-committal.
Nobody deserves to be publicly outed or forced to out themselves.

Covid and politics. The premise had to be changed and the whole script rewritten to avoid getting into trouble with the Thai military.

Same :(

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.
