LOL, no, the writing is really that bad.

I can answer the question about the original beef.

Nut sat at a table where Satha and his friends usually sit. He had no way of knowing it was their usual table, of course, but Satha confronted him angrily anyway. Later, Satha also made a stink about Nut joining the Photography Club.

I don't think there will ever again be anything to watch that's as bad as this. I've actually dropped series that were better, but this is so terrible that I need to see how it ends.

My last hope is that somehow they'll develop Jedi and Nanon as a side couple.

My point is: making a personal attack on someone who disagrees with you is immature, and not everyone commenting here is a member of the cult.

LOL just because someone isn't bonkers for Gameboys you think they're insecure?

I won't bore you with my analysis of the lazy writing of the original series and it's glaring continuity errors, but you should be sure that not everybody is delulu over this franchise. For me the gimmicky Saran Wrap kiss is right up there with the 2gether high-five for cringe effect.

I'll probably watch the movie when they offer it for free (if they ever do) and I'll give it a fair airing. I'm not expecting a masterpiece and I'm not expecting trash. I have a feeling they put a lot more thought into the movie than they did the series.

LOL

You have a point. The production values over at, say, GMMTV are much better, so it might be a question of funding.

"Top Secret" was produced by Star Bangkok, which is the talent studio that has signed all these boys, so I think it's intended mainly as a showcase for them (for better or worse). Line TV might have been able to pick up the series at a low cost.

Regarding the reviews, I always think it's best to sample every series that interests you whether the reviews make it sound good or bad. I've truly enjoyed series that have been very poorly reviewed on here, such as "Brothers" and "Cupid Coach", and I've strongly disliked some that have gotten mostly rave reviews, such as "Gameboys" and "Theory of Love".

Many of the m/f dramas I've watched use jealousy as the engine for the plot, and almost all of the time I think it's just lazy writing. One person sees their bf or gf merely talking to someone else and they don't bother to ask about it, they just assume they're cheating and the conflict begins. There's no attempt at communication whatsoever.

(I think the striving to do something different is one of the things that makes "Given" so exciting to watch.)

I'm curious if the beach scenes were filmed more recently. To me the guys seemed more mature and Copy looked like he'd put on some weight.

And whatever Eak's personality issues he sure looked dynamite in that sleeveless tee and swim trunks!

Both and Newyear are the least essential to the series. I prefer even the shorty basketball player and his bf to those two. And you're right, it's pretty stupid for them to be depicted as wise elders and then have this misunderstanding over Night. (I skipped those scenes but it was pretty clear what was going on as I bypassed them.)

While Eak looked exceptionally good this episode, his behavior was exceptionally bad. You pretty much lay it out as to why.

Damn the missing subs, does anyone know what Eak said to himself after Phob walked away from him on the beach??

The most adorable "bully" I've seen in any series. Omg he's so cute and funny. He can bully me anytime.

His voice is everything! Gives me goosebumps.

That was my first thought when I came to this page. What the hell. Every episode hits so hard and leaves me so hungry for more.

It would explain a lot, wouldn't it.

The series is almost over and I still don't know what the deal is with the "golden blood".

Omg it's like you read my mind! Even my friend who doesn't care for BL really liked Young Royals.

My favorite that's airing atm.

That Title is a discovery. Stunning to look at and very good in his first role.

For anyone upset over the Big C diagnosis, the dialog doesn't say that Phob is visiting because he's dying -- he's visiting because he's about to go away for some major treatment. This makes me think there's no plan to kill him off.

(On the other hand, there's that "In Memorium" dedication ... hmm.)

I find the pacing to be about as luxurious as being stuck in traffic in downtown Manhattan. ;)

I like the naturalistic way it's filmed. I just wish it was more disciplined.
