I enjoyed the scenes at the promotional event much more than the first part of the episode.
The WeTV version is uncut, which for me demonstrates why there's sometimes a lot of wisdom in editing scenes that just go on for too long. I'm expecting that this uncut version is intended to reward viewers with the extra fluff at the beginning while the cut version will shorten those scenes and leave the rest intact. Otherwise the episode feels unbalanced, allowing attention to wander during the first part then riveting us toward the end.
I'm disappointed that Aoey is devolving into yet another deluded suitor who won't give up on chasing a guy even after he's been rebuffed over and over. No matter how you slice it, that kind of person is deranged. (BLs didn't invent this trope. Some of the m/f Cdramas I've watched turn it into an art form, and furthermore drag it out for 40 episodes.)
Meanwhile, this series has squandered the sympathy that I had for Aoey after the scenes at home with his family. I hope they'll do something to recover.
Now that Nubsib's link to Gene has been revealed, has anyone rewatched the earlier episodes to see if they noticed little 'tells' or other details that had gotten past you before?
Right now I'm praying that Hu Yetao gets to stay, because if he doesn't it's gonna mentally destroy me...
His decline in the ranking is a good example of why I've decided that this 'competition' is so slanted in favor of certain contestants that I don't bother to watch the full episodes anymore. Fashion shoots, fan meets, diary videos, etc. .... the goodies don't get spread around evenly, and the bias is clearly showing.
I hope a shrewd production company recognizes the unique talent that Hu Yetao is and gets him on track to stardom.
Nat was underage when they filmed 'Why R U' so his scenes in that series were very tentative. It looks like he had a lot of fun letting it all out with the role in 'Y Destiny'. He's an adorable little devil and is perfectly matched with Max.
That mesh t-shirt made me sit up in my chair and pay attention!
When watching the premier, did anyone else experience sound issues? The soundtrack seemed to be playing on two identical tracks, with one slightly ahead of the other. Lines of dialog were heard twice, etc.
This was what I got when I watched but now that it's a regular video the sound is fine.
I kept thinking how they could try and try but there was no way to make me believe that Pi had an 'unattractive' phase and would be shunned.
But, true to Asian drama tradition (they do it in the m/f dramas too), they have a character wear eyeglasses and 'voila!', suddenly the world thinks they're ugly.
Wow, another BL miracle happened: someone was feeling insecure, overreacted and behaved in an immature way causing…
This series is my weekly oasis.
I sat up in my chair when it looked like there'd be an actual heterosexual boy amongst the main characters, but of course the balance of that BL universe was quickly restored.
If y'all don't mind a little bit of personal sharing ...
To address the question of whether a boy as young as seven or eight could 'like' another boy, I'll tell some of my own history.
My earliest memory of realizing I'm gay is when I was around that age. I attended a private school, and the entire school was on an outing at a park. As everyone was making their way back to the cars so that we could head back to the school, a boy who was four years older walked beside me, and as he talked to me he casually put his arm around my shoulder. I can still remember the sensation that went through me at that moment. I felt a little light-headed and was probably blushing. Whatever the case, I have never forgotten it, or him.
At the age of eight or nine I remember 'wrestling' with my best friend and becoming aroused. It has always stuck with me because even at that time, I knew it was something I shouldn't mention or let my friend detect.
I have a couple more things I could relate, all of them occurring before I was 10 years old because they all took place in Florida, and my family moved away from Florida when I was 10. Two 'friends' in particular stand out because I realize now that I had strong feelings for them -- something that we might characterize today as 'liking' them.
Would I still like them if we were reunited today? I don't know. But it has helped me relate to this week's episode.
are you people satisfied now? The background music is being used now is beautiful.
Some nice musical scores turning up lately -- the one for '1000 Stars' is to die for too. Songs are nice but nothing sets a mood like a good orchestral score.
That cluck cluck was hilarious lol!! But you are right, and speaking of the toys i noticed something i think it…
I knew that dragon looked familiar and had to have significance, but I would have had to rewatch the earlier episodes to put all that together. Good catch!
The overreactions here are pretty funny. No, the screenwriter won't be winning a Pulitzer anytime soon. And the characters won't stand up to close psychological examination based on real life. But there are plenty of Thai BLs where we could say the same thing.
Do people on here every gauge their standards according to the medium they're watching? "The actors didn't look like they'd aged two years", "who would ever play with toys like that?", and my favorite: it makes no sense that two people who had affection for each other in their youth would grow up to fall in love.
Everybody complains that these series hardly ever try anything new, but on the rare occasion when one does it gets pecked to death by those same mother hens. *Cluck cluck*.
Your fashionable cynicism isn't insightful. It's boring and misplaced.

I really like Tri, though. Suddenly I felt SLS this week. He deserves to be happy. He's been a kind suitor and like you say, he is so good to Chol.

I was very surprised by the Frog Prince reveal.
