@J100 Oh thanks for recommending "To Each His Own", I clicked on the trailer and it looks interesting. I'll watch it at night.

I recently rewatched "Restart After Come Home" as I was fed up with many BL dramas I dropped including a few Thai BL with many childhood flashbacks! I remember this movie has powerful messages to merit rewatch.

True enough, one of the most powerful scenes is Yamato's lady friend's explanation of his constant smiling to conceal his damaged soul. Without showing flashback of him being bullied or abandoned by parents, the scene really gets me. That's what a great movie or series should be, they don't only show us BL theme but ability to give us something to take away; be it a life lesson or something to think about.

KBL has also been overrated so far simply with their popular Kidol looks which I often don't find them attractive. Too much make up or plastic surgery! I have many korean customers in Malaysia and been to Korea, I recognise some faces are not natural! Anyway, storytelling wise in KBL, there have not been many great pieces, although they are not as riduclous as Thai ones. Semantic Error is enjoyable but hardly any scenes memorable except the look of the leads.

@seoulmate I agree, the kissing at the end just makes no sense, at least for Porsche who has not liked Kinn so far and supposedly still straight. You could be more adventurous and uninhabited when drunk but not suddenly turning gay! A straight man may let another man jerk him off or get blowjob, when drunk, but french kissing is usually more intimate than those.

Why do you think the comment session is only reserved for praises ? Why do these STUPID fangirls comment here for nothing just to increase the comment count?

The nerdy guy shirtless dancing scene is the only one that held my attention. I thought this episode was just awful. Thakhun has shown the worst fashion sense in BL world and still acts like a big katoey. Why did so many bodyguards get wasted in a public club, they could have got themselves killed by rival mafias.

No, he has series that he enjoys, just not many of these silly Thai craps!

What is tiring is stupid fangirls like you switching off your brain just because of hot guys and a BL mainplot.

Gay people like us need to criticise a bad series so they don't mass produce to capitalise on unreasonable BL craze. Many of you have totally no clue what the real lgbt world is by watching these fantasy filled, fan service galore, quick buck productions!

Good job that you watched the series without switching off your brain! Look at the hysteria these fangirls are having at the comment sections. Already people calling it a masterpiece with what we have seen so far and their obsession is giving BL drama a bad name if producers think comedies in episode 2 & 3 work!

A real 'boy love' is supposed to happen when they are teenagers, so high school or university setting is most probable and still be a good watch if done right. Mid to late twenties something same sex romance should be considered LGBT.

If someone attractive looking has not had any straight or gay relationship / fixation before, that is just fairytale, gay fantasy.

Many of their dramas know subtlety when required, in some of their storytelling. You don't need to show endless flashbacks like many Thai BL (such as Miracle of TB), we are not infantile, not all past stories to be told in flashbacks especially if you don't have good child actors.

Someone as beautiful as Naoya no less. That boy is yummy!

Guys, the chinese character for Feng Lan Xi (Yang Yang) family is 丰 (literal meaning is luxuriant) and Zhao Lu Si surname is 风 (literal meaning is Wind) which has the same pronunciation unfortunately, causing confusion. Both surnames are apparently not related.

With all the cliches and fan service kisses before the finale, the ending is of course a happy one. What's more, you get 5 minutes of flashbacks of their moments, isn't it wonderful? (Me being sarcastic)

This BL series is an absolute crap! It only gets points for hot leads and passionate kisses. The scripts are full of clichés yet some people think it should be better with longer episodes. Many of us just waited to see hot guys in actions once we saw the first 2 episodes and knew the quality of its filmmaking.

The finale is essentially 10 minutes long, 5 mins in flashbacks, the rest is intro and credit. What a waste of two handsome actors!

The more episodes you have watched, the more you will realise the writer has forgotten about consistency rules. The reaper appears to be doing romantic things to Prakan, no longer just his soul collecting job.

As a doctor, Prakan becomes too involved and emotional with the patients and fails to see the nature of reaper's job.

What's with so many flashbacks of reaper's past? Judt get it over with!

@Jpny01 By the way, it takes as much effort for North East Asians to get golden tanned skin as most Westerners because they don't have long summer and their skin goes back to being fair once they stay out of the sun for a while.

If you have well sculptured body, it can look good in pale skin or any skin tone to be honest.

In country like Singapore (lived there 12 years) and Japan (as seen in adult films :-P), golden tanned skin is quite popular among young people. I also went sun tanning when living in Singapore until one day in my late thirty, I noticed I started to have freckles and black moles in arms and face. Upon research, I found that our skin gets damaged by UV light but it can be quickly repaired when young.

I stop sun tanning after that. I would just go for early morning or late evening sunshine for under 15 minutes when I could these days.

@Jpny01 I think pale skin has been preferred in culture around the world for millenniums including the West. I read that the paradigm change in the West was the result of advancement in long distance travel where the English could go to French Riviera and Americans to California and Miami. Gay culture in California has also popularized the golden tanned skin with underwear line which you don't see as often in European gay scenes.

The pale skin look of Caucasians is also different from that of North East Asians (Chinese, Japanese, Koreans). Some white men look sickly with pale skin, rashes and freckles while north Asians' skin tend not to have freckles and rashes. That's why when you have mixed parentage, they could be perfect with more defined Caucasian features and smooth clear skin of east Asian.

From my experience and observations, gay culture in Asia or the West have a lot more varied taste for men than straight culture (standard body beauty for women). It is not true that Asian gay men mostly like zero fat; there are also a huge market for bears (hairy), chubby, skinny twinks and what's not. It is however true in some cultures/countries, gym fit bodies are more sought after such as in Taiwan, Korea and Singapore where they have 2 years mandatory army service for all male, based on my travel experience and chatting with people.

@LykeItRuff Ops, no wonder you were pissed off at me bitching about Max Lin, now that you find him more attractive of the two, sorry!

I think that accidental kiss was acceptable due to the way they moved. I would have liked it better if the lips touched the forehead due to their height difference. It is not as ridiculous as the one in Dear Doctor's episode 1 which is totally tropey to trip, accidentally grab the tower and fall on the floor with lips locked but without injuring their teeth or face.

@FrankieCN Not only that, some fans are so crazy with dramas like KinnPorcshe and Bad Buddy that they sound like there is a second coming of Christ (耶稣基督的第二次降临).

Haha dude, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's definitely a different vibe from Thai BL dramas if we haven't already checked out more than 10 of them released in the last one month!

I usually don't like guys with long hair but that bartender is so stunning even some straight guys may be tempted to look at him twice.

Hopefully, I won't have to add this to the list of dropped dramas lately.

The writer just strung together some Thai drama tropes (accidental falls, bitchy stepmom, annoying ex girlfriend) and this is the result; how often do you go to a bar/cafe with pool and predatory girls?

Someone said a character falling this exact pool has been used in another drama previously.

I agree with what you have commented. Many people think it is a masterpiece, I think it is sweet but nothing powerful like recent Japanese dramas 'Love On The Line' and 'He Is Beautiful'.
Many people are also shipping their fan service BTS, thinking they could be a couple in real life.
