Dear Diary,I just started the new episode of Interminable and—hold on—why am I suddenly thinking of 🍑🍑🍑???Oh…
HOOOOOONE!!!! You got me at almost 1 am cackling like a Hyena and kicking my feet! Please keep doing these dear diarys on every comment you do! LOVE YAH! ₍₍⚞(˶˃ ᗜ ˂˶)⚟⁾⁾
HOT D*MN THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!!! HOT!!!! AND SEXYYYYYY!!!!! BUT MOSTLY BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!! Billy and Babe have no shame, and I am HERE for it!
That NC scene is the stuff poetry is made out of, ok? You can feel the passion just rolling off them. They wanted each other, and I loved every moment of it!!!!! ₍₍⚞(˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)⚟⁾⁾
Now, let's get to the issue...
(For reference, F + name is future + name and P + name is past plus name.)
Where is the build-up?
While P Kaewta was sketching P Yai, where was the shyness? The flirtation? Where was the feeling of building heat?
Not only that, but we went from a flashback of seeing P Yai running into P Kaewta again at the dance academy (or that is what I am calling it. Don't know what it is called in the actual story), where they didn't even talk to each other. Kaewta just goes with Ruedee to make tea for P Yai. Then, to a flashback of P Kaewta sketching P Yai, and then them getting busy. There is no in between.
Now, do I get why this happened? Yes, somewhere between F Kaewta meeting F Sophee and F Kaewta trying to sketch F Yai, F Kaewta starts to remember sketching P Yai, and that is what leads to F Kaewta dreaming about that steamy moment from his past life.
However, I still say there should have been something to build up to that moment, like a little montage of P Yai and P Kaewta dating or something.
Or they didn't even have to show the full scene. Like maybe bits and pieces of it as Kaewta tries to get the memories from his past life back. Then, as he gets closer to F Yai, he slowly starts to see the pieces start becoming clearer.
One of my biggest gripes about Thai BLs is that they rarely build up enough to the NC scene for me. Sometimes it just feels like they slap an NC scene onto a show instead of really trying to work toward it. This makes me feel less for that scene, and it sucks to be honest. It feels like a waste.
That being said, I do like how Interminable is doing their flashbacks. They seem to be connecting the flashbacks to the characters themselves. For Sophee, it is flashbacks of either her time with P Yai and trying to pursue him, or her bringing pain to Kaewta as she becomes jealous of P Yai's love for him. For Yai, it is mostly for now the encounters he's had with P Kaewta, though I feel like, as the story goes on, his flashbacks may follow a more logical flow of how he met Kaewta, to them falling in love, and then their end. And for F Kaewta, it has been the sweeter moments with P Yai and the pain and torture from P Sophee.
However, I still say that the best show to do flashbacks was Until We Meet Again. It felt like they took two stories that run parallel to each other, and then they expertly connected them together into one storyline. No flashback felt out of place, and it also followed a logical progression of beginning, middle, and end. I also like how the show starts almost every ep with the past first and then goes into the future. I think Interminable could have done well with having the show start off this way. It would keep us more grounded on how things progressed in the past, instead of it solely being F Yai's flashbacks to do it. Then there can be more jumping around with the flashbacks during the rest of the ep.
when it comes to Korea, BLs are like the bottom rung of the totem pole to me, they never get the same amount of…
I feel you and I want to understand too. I mean I can’t stop thinking about how good it would be to have something high budget, great quality and over an hour and 12 ep long bl! Korea would be drowning in dough and views! I know that (light spoiler) in Hotel Luna the very end of it has someone else take over a new hotel. What if the new owner was gay? it would be a hit but nope! BLs aren’t good enough for that! ٩(๑꒦ິȏ꒦ິ๑)۶
well... first IQYI BL for me that wasn't up to standard. Looks pretty cheap, but meh its good enough to pass time.
when it comes to Korea, BLs are like the bottom rung of the totem pole to me, they never get the same amount of air time nor money as the other dramas which suck! I know Korea can produce a really good full length bl drama but they keep short changing it every time! I finally got my 12 ep fantasy in the recent goblin bl but it still didn’t go over an hour and still doesn’t have the same high fantasy flare like straight kdramas and I can’t understand why. We watch them and give them the views but at this point it feels like Korea is just throwing bls at us just to shut us up about them instead of giving us all they got like with the kdramas. IT SUCKS!!!!
When I say no, and I mean NO, BL or other drama has ever got me into a chokehold this badly, I mean it! It’s got me even watching this for a minute while I am sitting in the parking lot after work! This first ep is is just WOW! You can see the love in Yai’s eyes every time he looks at Kaewta! Billy is just so handsome and Babe is just so beautiful! The case already is showing what great, not good, but great acting is! I can not wait until Fridays and this winter so that I can curl up in warm blankets with my heater and watch this love story unfold!!!
This give vibes like "I Feel You Linger in the Air"... (Where's the Season 2 of that series, I thought…
Yeah, we all are waiting for that second season…sigh. I still don’t know how they can let a show like that not have a second season already. it was damn good!
The visuals for the trailer? Chief’s kiss! Blood reds….flowers blooming…Boom and Toey’s beauty?!!!
THAT WHOLE TRAIL IS MAKING ME FERAL BECAUSE OF HOW STUNNING THE WHOLE DAMN THING IS!!!!! IT’S LIKE A VIXX MV!!!!!
LOOK! I AM SETTED WITH POPCORN IN MY HANDS AND READ'TA GO!!!!

Your comment is making me want to wait to watch today’s episode until next week. I only did this one other time…
Look, I am waiting for China to come back with one as good as that one, ok? And yeah, I have been watching bls since 2022, I believe, so it was such a nice treat to watch…Though I am still upset about the ending, but…it’s a bl novel turned bromance…just wish they kept in like the anime at least or made Lan Zhan go with Wei Ying…oh well. I understand, though. It was funny, entertaining, and had so much action to it, and a great plot!
And yes, Gold is so right! I hope they keep it coming!
Ok, I am working my way through this show, but I have to get this out... SASIN YOU STUPID MOTHER.... OOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
