HIStory - 2017 (Can be watched in any order, as they're not linked)• Story 1: My Hero• Story 2: Stay Away…
Yes, oddly enough.
Season 1 is comprised of 3 different stories (sub-seasons). None of the stories are connected, other than the fact they were released in the same season. Each unique story consists of 4 episodes, each running between 17 - 21 minutes.
This is subjective, so take it with a grain of salt: • For season 1, the standout story is OBSESSED
__ Season 2 is comprised of 2 different stories (sub-seasons). Again, the story are not connected. Each story consists of 8 episodes, each running approximately 25 minutes.
Again subjective, so take it with a grain of salt: • For season 1, the standout story is CROSSING THE LINE
__ By the time they released season 3, they had dropped the "story" label, as each of these were legitimately stand alone series. Each series had 20 episodes with each episode running for approximately 25 minutes.
For this season, both series are exceptional, in their own way: • TRAPPED takes the edge for many-- though filled with emotional complexity, the overall story is charming • MAKE OUR DAYS COUNT is a wonderful series, but for many, the ending hit like a sledgehammer
__ For season 4, they only released one series-- 20 episodes each running approximately 25 minutes • CLOSE TO YOU is a wonderful series, but there's a character whose actions left many fans deeply conflicted
__ Season 5 is just one 20 episode seasons. • I have yet to watch this season
Can someone help me with the order of HIStory? It's confusing
HIStory - 2017 (Can be watched in any order, as they're not linked) • Story 1: My Hero • Story 2: Stay Away from Me • Story 3: Obsessed
HIStory2 - 2018 (Can be watched in any order, as they're not linked) • Story 1: Right or Wrong • Story 2: Crossing the Line
HIStory3 - 2019 (Can be watched in any order, as they're not linked) • Trapped • Make Our Days Count
HIStory4 - 2021 • Close to You [There is a couple from HIStory3's MAKE OUR DAYS COUNT that appears is a few episodes toward the middle/end of this series.]
Holy grail of BL series. Must comment again and again on the acting and chemistry of both the leads Oh my god,…
In contrast to the Thai, currently, the Japanese, Chinese, South Korean and Taiwanese, have been focusing primarily on acting and directing. Even when the writing isn't exemplary, it's never embarrassing.
Holy grail of BL series. Must comment again and again on the acting and chemistry of both the leads Oh my god,…
There are some Thai actors who are very talented actors, but... no one crucify me here... I've noticed that there's far more of a focus on handsomeness/beauty than acting prowess, directing and good screenwriting in the Thai BL industry. With the volume of shows that the Thai BL industry pushes out like a conveyor belt on steroids, I've been suspecting that many of the scripts, in the past few years, have been partially or mostly compiled by AI, because some of them have just been god-awfully bad-- even those that have been adapted from novels.
Due to the focus on the appearances of actors over quality of overall product, a lot of Thai actors who are fully capable of delivering good performances have been getting dragged into middling BL series with poor direction and scripts. There's not much that those actors can do to right the ship when the ship was sinking from the beginning.
For instance, Pond is brilliant in 180 Degree Longitude Passes Through Us, but is a dud in Fourever You. He's melodramatic in the currently airing Reset, but that's the nature of that series. For that type of series, he's doing a good job.
THESE THAI ACTORS WHO'VE PERFORMED IN BLs ARE NOT JUST HANDSOME FACES (sometimes, the writing and directing fail them, though):
Watch the cigarette and snake terrarium industry go up! Oh, and that aphrodisiac scent :)))
"Sorry, it's hard for me to navigate through your emotional storm."
An emotional storm? What, exactly, was stormy about what I wrote? I laid everything out rather evenly. By chance, did you mean an intellectual deluge?
"I've had no intention comparing typical behavioral patterns observed in humans and snakes ."
Did you not? You opened with a direct comparison between snakes and humans. The only sociopaths in existence are humans, yes? You then stated that snakes do not bond to people. Maybe you didn't realize that your opinion, though unquestionably believed and spouted by many, would be considered intellectually lazy by some and therefore lead to a discourse around the nature of snakes and human beings?
"I find it counterproductive."
My intention was to steer you to the realization that your opinion on snakes has nothing to do with them not being able to bond with humans and everything to do with you, personally, not liking them, Whether this is due to genetics, learned behavior patterns, cultural beliefs or superstitions is irrelevant. You're afraid of snakes and you've settled on passing off that fear as reasonable because of behaviors that are credited to them while those same behaviors are ignored in yourself and other members of your species.
I'm willing to admit this intellectual exercise on my part was a bust. 😏 I mean, come on, you're perceiving me as emotionally stormy. Honestly? That genuinely made me giggle.
Watch the cigarette and snake terrarium industry go up! Oh, and that aphrodisiac scent :)))
"Human beings might be akin to snakes, not the other way."
Humans cage (imprison) animals, slaughter them by the billions (approximately 80 billion) yearly; the true number is estimated to be in the trillions, when we add aquatic life forms to the lives we take. We slaughter for food, land, fun, and out of fear with little compunction. Snakes, conversely, either outright avoid us or attack us, periodically, when they're cornered or hungry.
Humans should be grateful to be compared to snakes.
Watch the cigarette and snake terrarium industry go up! Oh, and that aphrodisiac scent :)))
"They have three main instincts: feed, respon[d] to perceived threats and reproduce. "
Dependency, of any nature, is essentially attachment/connection. We humans claim ours are built on emotions, but at the core, they're built on necessities. We get attached to those who feed us, offer us safety (emotionally and physically), and who we can breed with.
"Some modern morphs are said to be domesticated, but let me repeat again, don't delude yourself - they never bond."
The difference between you and I, in regards to this subject, is that I am not deluded about human nature. We are animals, no more nor less than the other animals we share our world with. We are driven by the very same instincts, but due to our overinflated egos, we place all others beneath us-- granting some grace (those commonly accepted as pets or harmless prey) and demonizing others (those we perceive as threats to our safety and supremacy).
"They can perfectly well live without you: don't miss you, don't starve because of your being away, don't look forward to seeing you."
I have this relationship with the vast majority of human beings. If more humans were honest, they'd admit this to be true for them as well.
Watch the cigarette and snake terrarium industry go up! Oh, and that aphrodisiac scent :)))
If you're saying snakes are akin to some human beings, then you'd be right. Many are gorgeous to look at, but deadly (in many contexts) if we come in close contact with them.
As for snakes not bonding with people, that's not entirely true. Just like the majority of humans, some snakes can become attached to their caretakers, associating that individual to feedings and gentle handling. This is, essentially, how most humans behave with each other.
Yes, depending on the species, snakes can be incredibly dangerous. They haven't cornered the market on that. Other than mosquitoes, humans are the most dangerous species in our world, yet we humans can't seem to stop ourselves from entering into relations with each other.
He's possessive, domineering and a sadist (he gains pleasure from hurting his sexual partner-- think Christian…
Oh, please be serious. I utilized the character to make a point. How many people know the character Christian Grey and how many people know of the dude in their neighborhood who likes to whip his wife's ass before pounding her into pleasure-filled oblivion?
I'm well aware of the BDSM community's issue with Fifty Shades of Grey. I'm not here promoting it-- merely utilizing the character of Grey as a common reference point. Most people aren't well versed in BDSM entertainment, so I used what was available.
I have a question ⁉️ What is Chi cheng characteristic? aggressive or possessive
He's possessive, domineering and a sadist (he gains pleasure from hurting his sexual partner-- think Christian Grey). Suo Wei likely wasn't walking funny just because it was his first time with a man, but because Chi Cheng spanked him hard. Chi Cheng does have an aggressive side, but it's mostly focused toward sex.
It is based on a story that's titled Counterattack. It's not meant to be fair nor pretty. Suo Wei started this…
I agree. The tropes are PLENTIFUL. 😄 So much so, that I'm watching and laughing along as they pop up like one of those whac-a-mole games. For me, that's been a huge part of the charm of this nutty series.
The actors are doing a great job with bringing the characters to life and the directing and overall production is way beyond the quality of the first adaptation of the novel-- these are all wonderful bonuses-- but the initial story was ludicrous and eye-rollingly cliche. I genuinely don't want them to tone those elements down, because it'll rob the charm of lunacy from the original material.
Hey guys, can you please use spoiler tags for things that haven't happened yet and will happen in the future?…
When you encounter spoiler comments, you can also report the comment as containing spoiler info and the site will automatically apply the spoiler label to the comment and hide it for future people scrolling through the comments. It's not an ideal solution, but it does help others in the future and make it clear to those who are being inconsiderate that their behavior will be addressed by others.
