The sex scene is however the only one that is watchable in the whole episode. We cannot expect straight actors to go totally "gay for pay".

Thai BL industry is already making a lot of improvement in sex scene since the early day of fish kissing with detached bodies. Apparently, the good money from this genre is attracting a lot of new handsome faces and more and more daring sex scenes.

Shi Cheng Hao is indeed beautiful, and I like his shy, reserved character although J100 thinks he is dull. The tall paralegal in episode 1 called Boris Wong (see Casts & Crew) also catches my eyes. I wish they have given him more screen time or a better role.

Max Lin does have nice body which was unexpected. His make up is too thick however, it might be his request as everyone else's make up looks normal. He has what my friend likes to call "blowjob mouth" and I suspect he is gay in real life, with the thick make up and the gym fit body which is quite common among gay community there. He might be a Muscle Mary in real life from what I have seen in some Taiwanese shows featuring Muscle Mary's One Day Date with a Handsome Straight Guy.

I also find him a bit annoying with his overacting, especially obvious since I could understand Mandarin.

I hope so too that the accident is not some ridiculous, tropey kind of turn of event.

Haha, at least you were paying attention, the episode is a mess. The ex is already annoying asking the same thing the next day. They definitely have sex since clothes were off. Aroused men are hard to just cool down and cuddle without a finale, if you know what I mean.

That episode is a mess. Even the scripts were bad, for instance, Green calling Chap 'Mr Nawee' a few times when trying to resusitate him. They had slept together and were not surrounded by crowd to call him so formally.

@jpny01 This may sound controversial but bisexual men are less common in South East Asia than in the West, based on my encounters living in Europe for a few years and here in S.E.A. I have met or chatted online with dozens of locals during my trips in Europe and East Asia, so it is not just an observation drawn from just a few encounters.

The reasons could be social stigma with being bisexual or pansexual and Asians being less open and adventurous with their sexuality.

If a BL romance is between teenagers, it is believable they may be asexual before mingling with the opposite sex. The recent BL trend of going into romance stories between young adults or even men in late twenties not having any prior relationship or preference is too far fetched (such as Taiwan's Plus & Minus)!

In the case of Cherry Magic, it is plausible as many Tokyoites have no love life due to long working hours or indulging too much in anime (aka Otaku) or playing video games.

If they have a narrative about these BL characters interested in a man previously or simply as gays, then the cliches "coming out of closet" plot can be skipped. Otherwise, many BL fangirls may think why don't two handsome actors fall in love after being CP in the movie/drama!

@ksk79 Oh, I didn't notice that word "queasy" was translated in the subtitle but Google translate those Thai words you quoted as "feeling dizzy" which probably was used when he fainted and fell into the pool.

No, you let it go, lady! Unsightly is the right word. I won't object to someone calling men's private part queasy or unsightly either as it can be, to some people. You have no right to ever ask people not to express their view of something aesthetically.

@ksk79 Do you mean you know the Thai word for "queasy"? I know Katoey refers to trans or sissy man.

Since you are not a gay man, you won't know how some of us feel and express our view about female body, why take such an offense?

Of course, there are soft, wobbly men and women, but even a stunning woman body looks queasy to many gay men, we'd rather see it covered with fabulous clothes. And hello? When did I say gay men are repelled by women? I was saying we are not attracted to women's naked body just like how straight men don't naturally find another men's private part attractive.

Sorry, I wanted to use a word that means "soft, wobbly" that feels queasy to gay men. I cannot remember the word. But seriously, woman's naked body looking unsightly to most gay men is not a surprise.

You always said it better than I could, Jpny01 ! I kept saying there was no inconsistency in Chap's behaviors and lately Green's as well, but you hit it in the head; all this is the result of stringing BL tropes together to make the drama!

We had some glimpses of Green's body though and I think Chap's more well defined torso was the reason he had to be shirtless a few times. Green is more attractive nonetheless with close up on his face, showcasing his very kissable lips.

Another glaring absence of logic is if Green has been dating a woman and Chap has been home bound (managing the company from home?), how could these men suddenly turn gay after a few accident falls and kisses or Green's sudden empathy with Chap's cliches childhood trauma? How I wish I could easily turn straight but I cannot even look directly into women's breasts, touch the queasy body or be close to their feminine smell.

I am not sure if you replied to me or Oictopus, we had to mention we are gay because some fangirls here think those who don't like or give low marks to their favorite BL dramas here are homophobic. They also think MDL is homophobic that somehow often lowers the rating of BL dramas.

If the script is solid, it does not matter if it is a high school drama, or friends turn lovers plotline because it is what BL is likely to come from.

Look at how Thai BL writers tried to diversity by having a cat or a stuffed toy turning into a lover, with an infantile or messy script!

The episodes have just got worse and worse. Many of us continued watching it because the two leads are hot. They might as well do a short story with just both of them from strangers to having sex for the first time (like US film Trick) since the writer couldn't come up with a credible story.

Unfortunately for may BL obsessed fans here, they think episode 1 is cute, the theme song is cute, the twitching ears are cute, the falling-in-love-immediately, Beastiality romance is cute.

For mature gay men like myself, it is an insult to regular dramas for their effort, cheapen BL dramas, resulting in an onslaught of Thai BL dramas which, in just march & April, there are already more than 10 releases. We are certainly not homophobic, we just want better Quality, not Quantity!

I recommend "Restart After Come Back Home (2020)" a Japanese BL film with similar length and a happy ending.

@LykeItRuff She lives for the series apparently and from the profile photo obviously digs that silly act of Porsche. In Episode 1, he is acting all savvy and street smart but in episode 2, the need for silly comedy turns him into a kid in a candy shop.

@mimicat @AexyMauve The site's rating system is probably similar to IMDB where the bigger the voting base, the lower the overall rating. They have some kind of mechanism to filter spams and give more weight to verified voters or those with high karma points. So, drama newbies' 10 point rating matter less than one given by those who have watched and contributed a lot of dramas in MDL. The key here is weighted average point.

The highest rated dramas/movies in both sites are 9.2 / 9.1 and highest BL dramas/movies in MDL are between 8.6 and 8.5. In fact, IMDB would not list dramas/movies with low votes in Top Movies/Dramas because it is not fair an independent movie voted 10 by 20 people to be Top Movie instead of Shawsank Redemption.

Do you think we have BL dramas/movies that are as complex, as well done as Replay 1988, Nirvana On Fire, Prison Playbook to be rated 9+ ?

At the end of the day, you can see how this drama stand against the best of BL dramas (using advance search) and they are fairly accurate based on popular votes.

A few of mature gay men and women here just want to stop screaming, teeny popper BL dramas fans who would call BL dramas with gorgeous men but poor scripts masterpieces because you are ruining it for us, real BL/LGBT drama fans!

Haha, at least I see you here and could you join on the discord with the majority. While the premise is already creepy, do they have to add in those kiddy sound effects to make it infantile? This must be the third Thai BL drama recently about good hearted ML saving an animal or toy and got rewarded a partner/boyfriend. It sounds almost like a child's fairy tale!

Not exactly. I figured out from reading the pie chart that the completed group was the group that picked"Not Interested" as "Completed" is a greyed out option until finale. The 8.0 rating is also weighted from the Currently Watching & Verified groups, many of whom rated have 10/10 based on their claim of masterpiece in the comments here. So these 33 people don't pull down the rating drastically.
