Haha, I must apologize. With your explanation I get what you were trying to say. The English in your original comment was a bit confusing and so I read it as you trying to compare this drama with that Korean movie. When you mentioned Dew I thought you were referring to a Thai actor named Dew. All good then. I hope you will enjoy Century of Love once you decide to start it. Let's see if Vee is truly the reincarnation of Wat.

Just because the series might use the element of reincarnation, that doesn't mean that it's the same as Bungee Jumping On Their Own. In this drama Wat gets killed via gun shot and it's not even clear if Vee is truly her reincarnation. Also all the circumstances, the time jump, the setting is totally different from the Korean movie. The next time you feel like making comparisons between two pieces of media, at least watch both of them before you start.

Personally I never saw him and Gensei on the coffee truck as a form of confession, it was the total beginning of the show and all people first had to get to know each other. Also when Gensei asked him directly, he never said "You are my crush" and he also never chose Gensei for a date.

In the end you can think what you want, it is very obviously your opinion. I just feel it''s very unfair towards Ryuto to categorise his feelings in such a shallow manner.

Today was a lot of fun and also kind of sad. It's always amazing to me how different people can be from each other - like how many different people are living together in this house. I will miss Usak - in the beginning he felt like someone from a completely different world, but he turned out to be such a kind and warm-hearted guy. Also him leaving the Green Room was done in such a cool and mature way - I felt most sorry for Kazuto, he must have felt so shocked through it all. Also that whole relationship chaos around Dai. Tbh, I kinda felt relieved for him when Shun made it clear that he only wanted friendship. And then it got kinda hilarious when Ikuo appeared and suddenly he was like "I am not jealous" but also "I don't even wanna hear him it makes me angry." Personally I think that you should really stick to your own words once you make it clear that you only want friendship. I understand that Shun has been through a lot and that relationships are difficult for him - but even he should know that once you make your relationship clear (friends) you back off and leave the other person some space. I just hope that Ikuo won't get too hurt through all this, he seems like such a fun addition to the house. Also Gensei, man, I adore you and feel so bad for you at the same time. <3

This isn't fair to him at all. Last week he had feelings for Shun, but Shun chose someone else, and so he decided to go for Kazuto when he realized his own feelings. Why should he continue to go after Shun when the consensus in the House seems to be that Shun and Dai are "a thing". I don't think that going for one other guy in this situation (a dating show) can be seen "changing his mind like underwear".

The thing is that queer (BL/GL) are the drama that most international audience want to watch when it comes to Thai drama. Of course other drama/lakorn do exist, but they don't pull such a massive international viewership and are more interesting for people who come from Thailand. Many Thai video channels on YT upload other drama/lakorn as well, but they often don't even receive English subs - so aren't really even accessible to people who can't speak Thai.

As someone who has just started this drama at the end of last week and is breezing through the episodes - I just want to express how beautiful and comforting this drama feels. I like the friendships and how comfortable they are around each other. How supportive as well. I also enjoy the comedy a lot - sometimes you have those really soft moments and then all of a sudden everything turns into chaos and I can't help but to laugh along. Q is probably my fave out of all of them - but then all of the guys are very likeable and fun to have around. Thank you, New, for giving me another favourite drama after "Until We Meet Again" <3

I enjoy leaving comments on MDL after watching an episode of a drama, but usually I first leave the comment and then read what others have thought because their comments sometimes can really pull down the mood. Some people here act like media experts and complain about the weirdest and tiniest things. MDL truly is an experience in itself and I have learned that it helps to block some of the more intense commenters.

This may sound a bit stupid, but this drama has my heart right now. I love watching the episodes so much, it's the highlight of every week. I like all the couples, but Sun & Lin just are so perfect and beautiful to watch. The way that Sun is so careful with Lin and his wants, how he wants to please him and just be there for him. And the way that Lin loves Sun for himself, for being so caring and romantic and a bit clumsy at times. And of course sexy *coughcough* This new episode just felt like so much - everything looked gorgeous, everything felt perfect, that feeling of romance was so ever-present during their date together. Them becoming boyfriends, spending time together, the nicknames, the ring, the dance - I could just sit back and watch them happily. At the end of the day I know that their situation is more akin to a fairytale, but it's still so sweet to watch two men who love each other already so much and who are so ready to create this dream of a date for each other. And then the more erotic scene afterwards was still directed in such an intimate and romantic way - and then the sun rise in the background. Ah, it was so great. Sorry for this long and intense comment, but I just wanted to express how happy I felt after watching this episode. <3

... you didn't even look up Dolls or who Kateshi Kitano is, didn't you? sorry, I have no words for something like this.

Oh what an intense ending to the second episode. With each word that left San's mouth, you could see Vee's face growing darker. Tbh, as soon as San mentioned Vee's sick grandma and him needing money and still continued with that accusatory/aggressive stance, I would have lost it in Vee's stead. That made my own blood boil. xD I hope they will be able to find some common ground after a (hopefully) HUUUGE "I am sorry" in the next episode. Make Vee smile again. And can I mention how much I love the soundtrack for this drama? It's beautiful.

Why should I give you a date? I just gave you examples for other pieces of media that also use the symbolism of the red thread and then asked you why the reference needs to a Chinese one. You completely ignored that and then acted as if I was accusing you of attacking the drama. I don't know what "be reasonable Stan" has to do with that... this is just a very strange response to my honest question.

Does the red thread have to be connected to Chinese tradition? We had the symbolism of a red thread that connects two people in Until We Meet Again. And if we go back in time some more - the red thread was such an important element in Takeshi Kitano's movie Dolls. Two people bound together by a red thread that wander through a landscape together, they fall from a cliff, and then the red thread gets caught on a rock and so they are still connected although they fell. So we have a Thai drama that uses that symbolism and a Japanese movie that incorporates a similar symbolism as well. Does it really need to be a connection to Chinese tradition?

If you are ok with a lil spoiler from the second episode: in one scene one character says to another that he knows his gender but that love for him basically knows no gender. And then he says that he loves the other guy. So this time it's pretty openly queer/BL.

Whenever I think about this question, I think of all the Danmei novels that get released in China. They are clearly very thorough when it comes to actual drama, but it doesn't look like that thoroughness extends to everyone and to all fields of media. Otherwise all Danmei novels and authors would have been blacklisted from the publishing industry.

Just finished the first two episodes and had so much fun with it. It's not too serious and there are lots of light-hearted elements to keep everything upbeat. I especially like XiaoBao and his direct approach in life. Whenever he appears, it makes me smile. His two servants are also a great addition, together they are like the golden trio of silliness.
"Don't always hit Jinbao's head. He's not smart in the first place."
"That's right."
xD

These were some very fun and interesting first three episodes. All the guys are likeable in different ways - so let's hope that they will find some new friends or even love during this show. Some moments felt so genuine and emotional - they made me feel even more invested in what is going on. Let's wait and see what will happen with Shun and Dai.

Many of the songs are by a Korean band called Glen Check. The intro song's name is "Dazed & Confused", there's even a lil music video up on youtube.

Talking about sharing other people's work illegally and that you don't seem to care how your actions effect other people (the author mayhaps) and then mentioning (whatever) god at the end of your message speaks volumes about you and your morals. But hey, go on and enjoy your forthcoming silence and peace of mind. Seriously, just keep your weird god's blessings to yourself, I surely don't want them. Also it's funny how you totally ignore everything I said about the rules that shape the fan translation community, once again your standards are showing.

I wonder if that permission for the unofficial English translation was given before or after it was officially released in English this year. As for the rest of your comment, it is just excuses in order to talk your way out of feeling guilty for illegally sharing the unofficial translation of a novel that has officially been released. As far as I know this would be seen as shitty behaviour in the fansubbing community, so I take it the same goes for fan translations. I don't really get what "all novels" has to do with this case, same for what reading a novel makes you feel. This is simply about a bad action that financially damages the author of the original novel. (just adding this since you seem to care so much about finances and novel authors usually don't earn that much either in most cases)
