Kota's reactions got even more extreme in this episode, and I didn't like the sudden shifts from enjoying himself to remembering he "doesn't like" Naoya in that way. It was too extreme for me, especially with how subtle/natural Naoya is. But none of that gets in the way of enjoying this silly bit of fluff. And Naoya is still #1 in my heart. Sigh.
After 1 ep, not very interesting. Too many slo-mo shots for absolutely no reason. Lots of cute fluff with very little substance to it. I'll probably stick around since it's a short series, but not expecting much except fan service from this one.
I won't be wasting any more of my time after Ep 1. I felt like the director was screaming "Look at me! I have cool camera and editing techniques. I don't have a story, but you won't notice if I have fast motion montages that take up about 11 of the 16 minutes." DROPPED
As for the physical body, depending on when he was finally able to get approved and into more intensive treatment…
No, it's not the point at all, but since they made an issue of it, it made me wonder.
I suspect we may see some scarring from surgery. I have a feeling they actually will show us something, as they seem to want to do justice to this storyline.
I feel like most asian countries tend to use the same word for disease, illness, and condition. So in english,…
Yes, I did suspect it was just a translation issue, and I'm willing to cut them some slack. But we all know how important representation is, and that includes the correct verbiage, that's just why I'm sensitive to it.
I know they're brothers, but the real chemistry here is Nuea/Fah. They just seem so comfortable and happy in their scenes together. There is chemistry between Nuea/Kluen as well, but it's so much stronger with Fah. (NOT suggesting an incestuous romance, folks. Just talking about chemistry between actors).
Mon is a bit dull, but he hasn't done anything wrong and deserves some happiness, although I am looking at it…
I don't have an opinion on who's endgame, but it seems to me Saint's purpose was to allow Mon to heal from his past and show him his worth. Only someone who knew him from before, knew what happened to him, what he went through and how far he's come could really show Mon his true self.
Now, why either of the guys would want Mon (apart from being cute and having some nice arms (love the shaved pits!) is beyond me.

First... wow. Kudos for even attempting to tackle a subject like this, and more kudos for doing it fairly well. I expected something along these lines, but didn't know enough about intersexuality to figure this out exactly.
Next, a question... how would this affect his body in a way that he would not want Le to see? He clearly does not have breasts. Are they implying he has had some kind of breast reduction surgery? (I guess that's still to be revealed, but it confused me)
Lastly, it may just be the sub I watched, but there were some disturbing wording. Amber calls his chromosomal abnormality an "inherited disease" and an "illness".
Intersexuality is neither a disease nor illness. For as much as the show got right, it's important for them to use the correct identifying labels. If people continue to see intersexuality as a disease, it will continue to be stigmatized. Let's remember that people used to think being gay was a disease. Of all people, Amber should have been the one using the proper wording. I hope it was just a poor sub, and if so, I hope this can be corrected.
But again, props for doing such a good job. I'm humbled to be taught something from a BL (or whatever you want to label this show... for those of you who need labels) and glad to have some light shone on this oft-ignored part of our population and their struggles.
I guess I have to cut this one some slack since it's from 2015, but overall I thought it was crap. They replaced character development with TONS of montages and really poorly choreographed and filmed soft core scenes. It did not feel like these two built a relationship that was satisfying. Most of the movie they felt like strangers, then the attempted rape and then suddenly they're lovers. Poor camera work, poor scripting, poor direction. Decent acting for two newbies. Surprised neither went on to have a real career. Apparently this was the ONLY thing Puangphong made. He probably thought his career would be reduced to half naked scenes and close ups of his nipples. Shame. They both showed some potential. Not a fan of the bittersweet ending, though not every story has to end happily. Overall,a disappointment.
Had to binge the whole series for the 2nd time (well, 3rd if you count how many episodes I watched twice during its initial run). It's an acting master class, only elevated by the sure handed direction. Can't wait to see them both again.
I am with you on the prolonged kisses, but I have come to take it as "this is a moment frozen in time." IRL the…
I know what you mean. The worst for me is when they seem to rewind a few seconds... lips are almost touching, then the next angle, they are just starting the embrace, then the lean in, then... next angle, they're just starting the embrace. It's like Groundhog Day every 10 seconds.
I couldn't take Rak Diao. Had to drop, fire or not.
