Reminding people once again that the last episode will come on Vimeo AFTER the episode is done airing on Line TV which takes usually an hour and half :)
I haven't seen the photo myself but they weren't on good terms last episode so I'm assuming that if it's a photo…
Nope, it was spoiled by some Chinese music site, but it is only photo of them together, but that scene could be taking place anywhere in the episode....
One question - how are you so sure that the spoiled photo is the ending scene? It was never written anywhere that it is the ending scene *insert confused emoji*
For me BL/LGBT/Yaoi/Shounen-ai is same thing and no one can change my mind. But, regarding for who is this series…
It is debatable, but I think it is true that they truly try to portray realism. Why? 'Cause the society has new demands. It isn't Lovesick era. The fans are not delulu, they demand realism. So I indeed think that they truly only lack in talent or experience, OR they just...kinda think that what they are potraying is the reality. Or, if we are targeting Thai directors only - maybe it is the culture. Who knows? Also, I am not a Trump supporter :D I know u werent asking that, but I gotta say it.

Hm, imagine it this way. I think a scenario would maybe make you realize why I think separating BL and LGBT is indeed a bad idea. You are a journalist and are currently interviewing a director of a series where the main pairing is homosexual - I ain't using the BL/LGBT tag here on purpose. You are sipping on your fav bevarage while discussing the drama when suddenly the director says ''I created this drama with LGBT community in mind. Nowdays there are a lot of LGBT dramas, but only few try to adress aspects such as we did''. As a journalist, you like the director, but the drama he had created is BL - by standards and 'rules' that society created. BUT the director himself called his work as a LGBT drama, not a BL one, even though by society standards it has the 'BL rules'. Now, what would you do? Would you correct the director and say, ''Sir, your work is a BL drama, not LGBT drama''. If you said that, the director might look at you puzzled and ask why his drama cannot be labeled as an LGBT one. Would you say straight to his eyes, that it is labeled as BL because it is idealized and has unrealistic situations? I wouldn't have the guts to say it to his face, honestly.
THIS is the insulting manner of separating the LGBT and BL. Because no director or writer is writing a work with homosexual pairing where they intentionally write unrealistic stuff or as you said idealized. And I repeat, not one director or writer. Each writer and director creates work with realism in their mind (except science-fiction or fantasty). Yes, the ending result might be trash, but this attributes to lack of maybe talent or experience. So, when people for example bash LBC2 nowdays and say how unrealistic it is, trust me, New nor Mame did not intentionally try to create something unrealistic. They genuinely believe, that such things can happen.
Truthfully, this disscusion will never come to a conlcusion because no one and I repeat no one can exactly say who is right. Even your words, are simply opinion, not a fact no matter how hard you try to protrait it.

Well, it did turn out to an insult, at least in my eyes, because you and others before said that BL is a genre of its own which focuses on UNrealistic situations - fantasy that would never happen, which is an insult, because there are SO many BL dramas that deal with real situations and struggles. Also, the historical facts - you are right that it was created by women, but it was never ever said that ''We can talk about BL if it has this, this and that and LGBT is when the drama has this, this and that''. That was created by fans, which I never approved. Now, as I said before, when someone says ''It is just a BL drama'' it truly is an insult, because by your and other's standards , the drama is unrealistic and faulty and does not portrait real life, which for me is a heavy insult towards the director and staff.
Also, you have never touched in your response how I said that the Yaoi/Shounen-ai trademark has stopped being used in mangas - now it is all BL, which kinda proves my point, that indeed those are the same thing. I also mentioned how directors and journalists do use the two terms BL/LGBT with same meaning, which also proves my point that it truly just means 'boy's love' nothing else.
Edit : Also wanted to add that the term BL is in Thailand called Y which is shortened version of Yaoi, see where I am getting to?

Sorry, but I simply cannot agree. I think I stated everything in my previous post. You didnt say - at least for me - anything new. BL is nowdays indeed started to being used a s a slur. I wanted to point out that the "mia" ans "pua" is NOT fictional, but part of real and genuine Thai culture. If you wanna know about it, search for one helpful street interview where it was explained. BL for me will ALWAYS remain a "boy's love" and it will never turn to insult. I won't get dragged by fans who create "standards" or characteristics. As I said before, in reality BL is truly used as boy's love. Printed mangas use it and stopped using Yaoi/Shounen-ai trademark, ans newspapers use both terms when explaining one drama. And I think my decision is right, because I am not insulting anyone.
