I'm sorry my opinion annoys you. I suggest you block me, so I won't have to annoy you anymore, because I will not stop speaking my own truth. Enjoy The Sign.

Having a lot going on and making it all feel like it works together naturally are two different things. It feels to me like the producers could not decide which genre to make, so they did a bit of kitchen sinking. Feels like different writers and directors were working independently rather than one vision coming together. But that's just how I view it.
For the wooden acting, I don't really feel any of their emotions. They all say their disalogue, but I don't see them FEEL or embody the emotions. Their faces are blank. Or they are over the top, like Yai. Even when Phaya is looking at Tharn with "lust", it just seems to stop at his eyes and he never truly inhabits the emotions. Their daydream love scene was beautifully shot, but didn't have passion. But again, that's just my opinion. I'm glad you're enjoying.
Acting wooden? Are we watching the same show? I've watched Billy, one of the two male leads, in Secret Crush on…
I didn't watch Secret Crush, so I can't compare. I can only speak about what I'm seeing in this show. Every show/performance affects us all differently. I'm sure my top 10 picks are not yours. But I'm glad you're enjoying.
Best episode yet. Really enjoying getting to know each of the characters a bit more with each episode. Well done! All the boys are so handsome and very good actors and deserve more leading roles!
I'm enjoying this, but this show is all over the place. Cop drama, supernatural drama, BL, goofy romance daydreams with filters and sparkly lights, odd comedy out of nowhere. They don't balance it all perfectly, but it is somehow working. I just wish the acting wasn't so wooden. Interested to see where this all ends up.
So freakin' cute. Loved all the inner monologues, even when they were only. "Your ex.... your ex... your ex..." I'm glad it's only 3 eps, because I could not take 13 weeks of this cuteness. Can't wait for next week.
Just finished. I enjoyed this as something a bit different than what I would normally watch. I would say ZERO BL content. Yes, Nai has a crush on Dan, but that doesn't really constitute BL. But for a mystery/suspense series it delivered some decent chills. The open ending was fine, but I'm not interested in seeing this story play out any further. Singto was good. I feel bad that he still has to play a high school student after al these years. Fluke was, as always, very strong. Poon did a very nice job. Can't wait for his lead role one day. Definitely worth a watch, especially if you like suspense.
This was an odd one. I'm not a fan of the cold main who doesn't answer questions, but sits in awkward silence. I've never met anyone who acts like that. The hotel employee and Golf's boss were waaaay over the top. I didn't find either of them as funny as they were trying to be. It was a meet cute and fall at first sight only kind of short, with nothing else added, but just didn't do it that well. The writing and direction were both uninspired. I can only assume this is to get the couple ready for a bigger ship. Hope the material is better.
This started off okay, had strong acting (Guide, most of all. Made me want to see him in more roles). Loved Atom and especially Grandma. But so many cliches and misunderstandings (the whole foundation of BL). There was potential for so much more character development and growth, but the 6 episode format limited their ability and they were forced to resolve things quickly and far too easily.
Once again, screenwriters have clearly not researched the business the entire series is based on. 2 of my sisters managed bakeries. Any bakery that has only one baker who can make a decent cake will fail. Period. Especially when you have to rent a cathedral for the bakery. 2 floors of unused space. That's a lot of overhead. The bakery also seemed to offer only one cake, sometimes two... but no one ever mentioned anything else. All of Guy's pies were completely forgotten. No bakery can survive off only one cake. And what kind of loyal fan base do they have if after 2 days without Shin's 1 famous cake the bakery is closing, and... has to make an apology??? For the baker being sick??? Nope. Businesses don't run like this. I mean, maybe Thai social media is this brutal, but I've never heard of anything this ridiculous before. It became so unbelievable, that the resolution just felt false and forced and I found myself not caring anymore for the characters.
Ep 5. DROPPED. This never really caught my interest or attention. The acting is so stiff. I get no chemistry. The dialogue is repetitive and juvenile. Even Tony is written like a child, rather than a ruthless criminal. Not for me.
Unlike many, I don't find this "boring". It is indeed a small story, and slower-paced, but the plot is fine to hang a BL upon (needing inspiration for a novel and falling for your muse). I definitely feel the chemistry between them. But that's always subjective anyway.
Many of those long, staring at each other, shots are meant to be a millisecond in real life that they elongate into 15 seconds, which makes it feel uncomfortable and awkward. I always wish they would just freeze frame, let us hear their heartbeats or inner thoughts, and when they blink the very first time, come back to real-time reality. But that's the wannabe director in me.
What always irks me in BL is when both leads are so CLEARLY infatuated with each other, but can't see it. I mean, what friend touches your hair lovingly or wraps their arms around you to make ceramics or dumplings or sleeps in your bed with their head on your chest? Only a love interest does that. So both of them should know EXACTLY what the other is feeling, but they remain BL clueless. Oh well.
The "bullying" kisses were a bit mystifying to me, though.
I'm enjoying this, though it will not rise to my favorites list.
This is more like a friendship show than a dating show. If they are making more of this series, I hope there will…
I think the question itself is normal and certainly could be a deal-breaker if you find you are NOT compatible in bed, but maybe not something you would ask on the first meeting, in front of 7 other guys and a camera with potentially millions of strangers watching.
But I do agree that they villianized him and that certainly triggered him. But I applaud them all for showing him enough love and support later on that allowed him to change his mind and stay on the show. I think opening up and allowing these friendships into his life will really help him in the future.
Liked the second half of the season better than the first. Really got to know the boys more as time went on and appreciated the fact that the production team allowed us to get more in depth with them all. While this is supposedly a dating show, they all revealed that they needed the friendships just as much, if not more, than lovers - and I was really warmed by the depth of the friendships and the personal growth that came in just 6 days.
The only person I did not care for was Gino. I found him clingy, needy, and projecting too much of himself onto others. He kept calling Guan Yu a kid and said he was immature, when in fact, GY had incredible insights and advice and perspective on life, whereas Gino seemed very childish and close-minded. All he saw were the potential downfalls, instead of the the potential upside. Even in the end Gino said he felt Bobo was more compatible, but chose GY... that's (as GY said), "not thinking with his head".

Just an okay effort. I won't watch again

I'd watch S2 if they choose to make another.
