He will become the first wife of the future leader of the major branch of the Thirapanyakun clan. That’s better than a doctorate degree.

Yeah, but the people who get raped are to a very large extend women, the people getting shot are predominantly men. That should give you a hint towards an answer. Just imagine the uproar if Kinn had gone on a shooting spree and killed a few women… Women are precious, men are just disposable.

I guess they have to find a balance between what the customers (probably mostly female?) want and what is plausible.

What this series is good at so far, is the depiction of the emotional complexity of these situations. I haven’t read much of the book, so I judge the product only buy the telenovela. But in the romantic/intimate scenes one can pretty well sense that Porsche is desperately longing for a shoulder to lean on sometimes and physical body contact. Maybe I am imagining things, but I appreciate the effort they have undertaken in creating a realistic human being.

Porsche got shot, they kissed. The scar is completely gone, they have sex. That’s ages in between… Many gay men have sex on the first date.

Every man knows that some pigs are more equal than others.

I just don’t get it what they need a sauna for - in Bangkok. A ten minute ride on a non-aircon bus and everything is soaked in sweat anyway...

I mean, come on… in the TV episode Porsche grabbed Kinn’s penis and made him touch his own. He was rubbing his head at Kinn’s chest like a cat that demands to be petted. He asks Kinn why he cannot just admit that he likes him. Then they enjoy caressing each other for quite some time (not enough for my taste though). And then Porsche unbuttons Kinn’s pants and pulls them down…

He liked him from very early on. If the show is somewhat realistic, I’d guess he found Kinn attractive from the very first moment they met. And of course he has this protective instinct as well. He did take care for the younger brother for such a long time, so, protecting Kinn was not too different a job. And he exposed himself so much at so many occasions; of course he wants to know whether his feelings are going to be reciprocated. (Just my guess...)

Seeing all those tacky diamond studded necklaces worn by the actors, I wonder whether a jewelry manufacturer belongs to the sponsors too.

Soup with cheese? Seriously???

"Ocean likes me" is terrible... unfortunately... I liked the main actor.

A substantial proportion of the population is not of sound mind even when sober. And this concept of consent is mostly used by people who have no normal interactions with other humans anymore. Crazy times we live in.

I wished there was a MoD2...

Age above 20. Some action... ;-)

"Nice" would not be the right word to describe it, but worth watching.

I only liked the side couple, the painter and the cop.

Gentle(wo)men, I have seen those all already.... What a pity...

Any mature bl series to be recommended for the time in between Saturdays?

My impression is that it means something more closer to "princeling", something like "young master". The father is still around, and he deserves the highest respect.

Agreed. People have been warned. All the “problematizing” is a form of attention seeking anyway.
