It looks like GagaOOlala has them now.

I definitely agree. But there is progress being made.

BLs had to go through the same phase where there wasnt much content, and then they were all tragic and/or toxic, and now its a bit more mainstream with several happy endings. But BL probably came first because, like you said, many cultures respect/prioritize men more - especially cultures that the West have influenced.

GLs are starting to get a spotlight though. Theres quite a few indie productions on GagaOOlala that have gotten decent attention. And studios have been testing the waters with support couples and anthology episodes and have seen good feedback (7 Project, Dont Say No, Bad Buddy, and Secret Crush On You are some Thai ones that come to mind), and now we have a GL series called GAP thats gonna be coming out soon.

Yea, its a slow process getting more GL out in the world - especially healthy and non-tragic ones. BLs had to go through the same phase.

There are some GL couples in a few BLs and anthologies (7 Project, Dont Say No, Bad Buddy, and Secret Crush on You are some Thai ones i can think of right now). And a few upcoming ones (like GAP).

You can find some low-budget indie ones on queer streaming service GagaOOLala.

There is a special episode 0 on their youtube channel that goes over their story from TharnType 2 as well as a couple more scenes: https://youtu.be/Nb4T4KOo36oSo if you dont want to watch TharnType 2 or just wanna go ahead and dig into this one, you can just watch this special episode 0.

Lmao. Im not on board with ToddBlack but this was hilarious.

Definitely agree. So excited to see White back in his own attire.
I know some people are commenting that they aren't looking forward to it, because theyre not used to it - all the more reason to start this next episode.

It seems like White has set up camp at the abandoned building. After all, the tent and everything was set up before he brought Sean, and he couldnt have predicted that beforehand.

There's too much plot stuff to be resolved to throw in an ex we only saw for 2 minutes from another country who had initiated the breakup to begin with. You dont need to worry.

Love Stage. Currently airing. And not a body swap one.

I'm still thinking on the body swapping... I swear I've heard of one....

I cant say for sure how it works in Thailand, as i havent found a comprehensive article on it - but from what ive seen across multiple dramas is:
All/most faculties have a mini-sports team for competition within the university
And then the university has their own sports team which comprises of any faculty.
But due to the workload of all the programs, its mostly the sports science or related majors that are in it.

All of our characters we focus on in this show are sport science (as we saw them all at the sports science welcoming event in the first episode).

He was kind of. He was showing a couple of White's mannerisms. And if he was just being himself, he wouldnt have drank that glass. He also wouldn't have asked about Black's whereabouts. But he had an angry edge in his eyes (not quite as much as usual, but still there), and his voice still had that gravelly edge - so it wasnt a very good imitation.But i guess it was better than White's imitation of Black.

Maybe Todd is the one who put them on to Black, to get Black out of the way and to have Tawi's goons let down their guard around him.

And as for why he couldnt drown Black, for 1) he wanted Black out of the picture, not dead - or else he wouldnt have been a coma; 2) having someone killed, and killing someone yourself are two different things.

Look, I'm not giving Sean that much credit anymore. I thought he knew about White not being Black for episodes now. I wouldve bet money on it. And Black having a lookalike brother is a lot more of an easier conclusion that "since theyre twins, they have a psychic pain connection." So unless he sees them in one place, with one getting hurt but both feeling it, or unless one of them tells him, yea - i dont think he knows.

He definitely has. From the flashbacks, its suggested that this engagement talk had been quiet up until the grandfather was about to pass away, which was not long before the events of the series so he was plenty old enough to understand. And he asked, do you love him enough to be engaged? And it was a question that had been repeated multiple times by multiple people.

Officially on Viki (Standard Pass) and WeTV/Tencent (which may or may not be free with a Philippines or Japan vpn setting?).

And yes, there are PLENTY of sports centric shows and movies who spend a significant amount of time on the sports they are playing. Im personally glad that they are giving us more rounded stories than most BL dramas.All the marketing for this show, as well as the episodes leading up to this one, have made it abundantly clear that sports were centric to this storyline. And the tags on this site (which are USER-GENERATED) are not representative, and were never meant to be representative, of the priority those tags/tropes get in airtime.

It wasn't just some basketball scene, yall realize that right? Basketball was how Thorn and Fah came together. And it's their dream for the future, a dream they intend to go toward together. And a lot was riding on their success in this game in order to keep the basketball team going at their school.We see their values as well. Fah debating whether to go forward to his dreams on his own, or returning to work towards their dreams together with Thorn. Their dedication to playing a clean, team-oriented version of basketball, even when it looked like a losing strategy. Thorn's willingness to put aside his own well-being in order to make sure their team has a future (remember, their university is only giving them a trial period before deciding if theyre gonna provide more substantial funding). And Thorn and Fah's absolute understanding of each other and trust for that final shot.It was much more than just them playing basketball. It was a reflection of their past, their future, their dreams, and their personalities. If you didn't notice that, then you weren't fully paying attention.

I scrolled down, and yep the "i didnt sign up for a sports drama" haters are still down there. Which i find quite funny, considering that all the promo for this series has shown that it takes place within a sports plot, so that is what you signed up for. There is so much that these sports scenes reveal about the characters and their relationships, so the complaint really doesnt make sense to me.

There were some people further down right after the episode aired saying this. Theyve been receiving a lot of backlash, so i dont know if their comments are still down there. But yea, there's been people saying that.

Seriously, basketball is what brought them together, its what shows how much they understand and trust each other, it shows their dreams and their personalities and values, and it shows how much pull they have with other players (showing that they are on a promising path towards their planned future). Its a sports romance drama. I think people are too used to the engineering plots where we see nothing of their daily life. I much much prefer this. It provides real insights.
