Fwiw, I think you expressed yourself beautifully. It's clear you struggled with how you were feeling and I bet it helped you a lot to be able to share this. I'm sure you hoped that since this is a fan space for Win your fellow fans would take this post as it was meant, but alas there are some really immature people on this site. Toxic fans aren't limited to Twitter.

Stand strong and don't be silenced.

Ka-ching! Imagine the ad rates that GMMTV will get for the product placements.

I also suspect this is coming in order to prime the BrightWin fanatics for 'F4 Thailand', which I'd much rather see than this retread.

Recycling is good for the environment. ^_^

(And you forgot 'Play 2gether', where Bright and Win strummed the guitar and sang songs.)

But really, GMMTV just wants to haul more gold out of the goldmine. My only question is, whither the high-five? Does it stay or does it go?

Based on the trailer and advance pics I'm expecting a marriage proposal and possibly a marriage ceremony.

Thank you for sharing that.

He needs to go. It annoys me every time they show his dour face. They should release him from the contract and bring back whichever trainee was next in line.

First of all, I love your profile pic! I can't tell you how many times I've watched that performance.

That was a tough episode for sure. The Sweet Candies performance devastated me. I wish more time had been given to the goodbyes in general. Viewers need to be able to process the losses too.

The indifferent reaction of the parents was a real shocker! I was like ... wtf ...?!

I agree 100%. If it would be okay for them to date if they were not blood-related and were raised entirely separately, what changes if they happen to live in the same house for some amount of time?

I think the taboo for unrelated siblings is just spill-over from the one for blood-related ones. The one for blood-related relatives was established way back when step-families weren't very common.

I don't have a problem with step-brothers getting together if they're unrelated by blood. I might be wrong, but anthropologically speaking the taboo about incest probably came from observing the negative result of inbreeding amongst family members who are indeed related by blood.

I find it hard to insist upon restrictions for two people who are unrelated just because their parents happened to get married.

I *love* Nine and will be thrilled if he gets to debut. I don't know why he mentioned failing with dramas, though, because he was cast in one that ended up being very popular in the BL community.

Zhou Kayu was asking why the founders like him ... well, it probably helps that you're the male lead in a drama that's airing in parallel to this show lol. (I think he's a deserving 'A' all the same.)

Lelush ... it's dumb that they didn't release him from whatever contract he signed and give his spot to whoever was next in line. I wonder how he ended up on the show in the first place. Fire that producer/casting director.

Didn't Krist say he was done with BL? That makes me think that Ohm would be paired with Mek.

Be sure to buy your asbestos jumpsuit before the first episode! ;)

Thank you .. I guess I was more focused on Padbok lol

I'm glad you liked it! Another thing that's impressive is that Singto was working on 'Friend Zone' around the same time as this series, and his character there is completely different (at least in the later episodes.)

I'm not bothering with the h.s. story and go to the 2015 part every week. If the follow-through is something special then I'll return to the earlier episodes to give the series a proper watch.

For now I've just about given up. Whoever dreamed up this approach to storytelling is an idiot.

I bet they're losing a lot of viewers because of the very reasons you give.

All I know is, whatever his issue was, with each little tease every week they're raising the stakes. They need to come through with something worth the wait.

You're not alone.

My term exactly! It is flawless, and that is not an exaggeration.

After countless rewatches (since this is one of my favorite BLs of all time), I finally understand the 'Jiu Jitsu' reference in the last scene.

In 'Where Your Eyes Linger' (which takes place in the same universe), Tae Joo and Gook work through their suppressed desires by sparring with Jiu Jitsu.

Cute!
