Especially when the title of the series makes it seem like it will be BL. Once you start watching you realize…
Well, the first episode is about the fujoshi and the lead singer of the band, except for one trope. So, they did throw us a few crumbs. Or should I say they threw us one crumb lol.
Mean and Plan make an appearance too, which adds to the irony.
If the next episode is all about that couple again I'll be back here in full rant mode.
Episode 2 is excellent. I'm glad they didn't waste a bunch of time with Tang wondering if he should look for Neo or not. He just decides to do it. Some may say it moves too fast but to me it's simply an example of deft storytelling. A refreshing change from 45 minute episodes where nothing happens (I'm looking at YOU, "Sunshine Night" ...)
I really like Tang's "cute but sinister" scowl. They cast the right actor for the part. For a role like this you want him to start out unlikable (check!) but win us over later on. I think this guy Zen has the chops to do it.
I don't know about this...I hate when the bl couples are not the main focuse of the show
Especially when the title of the series makes it seem like it will be BL. Once you start watching you realize the title is merely clickbait.
This is 100% speculation, but I wonder if it did start out as a BL to promote the Evening Sunday band but then this Jump guy said "No way, dude, don't pair me with another dude", and the concept changed.
Otherwise the series description is too weird: a story about BL fandom told through the character Gap, who (by the way) is straight lol.
Watching Namwah in this every week ... as a main character, no less ... might make me slit my wrists.
Having a m/f couple as the main leads in a supposedly BL series might try my patience too. Aren't the ten billion het series produced every year enough? Hopefully this won't become a hate-watch for me.
At least it looks like the band members really play their instruments.
Petch and Pie finally broke through the tension and found relief. Petch wasted no time getting Pie turned around and pressed against the wall. I just hope it wasn't just revenge sex (although revenge for exactly what I don't think we'll ever find out. We've gotten none of their back story and I suppose at this point we shouldn't expect it.)
One thing is clear. The producers of this series are convinced that all the audience wants is more Khim-Sun moments to wallow in, whether it's a horsey ride or stargazing or (god help us) a musical duet al fresco.
Rain is ALIVE. I'm 100% convinced. It's just maddening that we've now had three episodes where the mystery in the barn is being teased, including in previews, but nothing happens. In fact all they show us the same footage they showed in each episode's preview and that's it.
And don't be so sure that Santi doesn't know that Rain's alive. In the convos between him and Payu I don't recall either of them asking about updates on the search for Rain. It would take away from Santi's mastermind status for him not to know something like that.
Before they arrest the queen bee CEO they will humiliate her by having the company tank during her brief reign. I'm no stock broker but it sounds like they're tricking her into spending millions to buy back worthless stock.
- I like that the superstar is actually a nice guy. I think most series would have him start out as an insufferable POS. - Yoshi is adorable. - The story is predictable but at least it moves fast.
Negative things:
- Why does Putter have to be the most famous star in all of Thailand -- he could simply be a rising star and nothing in the series would have to change. As it is, nobody seems that dazzled to be in his presence. - Similarly, why make it that Yoshi will get fired if he doesn't get the interview? Why not make it the opposite, like if he gets the interview he'll get a big raise or promotion? That way, when Putter finally grants the interview it won't be out of pity, it will be a reward. - Of course everything is very low-budget and the acting won't win any awards. It's like a bunch of friends got together and said "Let's make a BL!"
Yet for some reason I want to avoid talking trash and give it a chance. I think if I adjust my expectations I'll be able to enjoy this for what it is instead of hating on it for what it isn't.
I'm guessing this is about Tang having a chance to change the timeline and stop Neo from murdering his schoolmate (who I'm gonna guess was bullying Neo because he's gay). This rescue will also change Tang as a person, partly because he falls in love with Neo and won't be such an a&&hole anymore. (Because boy, is he an a&&hole!)
It's funny that the clinic scene comes after Tang is so mean to his friends -- like we would want to see this nasty kid get a spa treatment. 😅😅😅
The editing for the clinic visit was really jarring. Anyway, it was OK, but there's not even a whiff of BL in…
Check out the trailer .. there's definitely a BL element but I can't imagine they'll be able to tell the whole story with just one more 18-minute episode
I've never dated a f#ckboi and I never would. I just don't have that level of trust, so I'm skeptical about this…
Alas, I don't think a production like this has any intention of pondering a real life concern like that.
There will be a cardboard happy ending, although it would be funny to have the very last scene in the final episode be Sher walking into the bedroom and catching Fah in bed with a new conquest -- fade to black.
This is a 10/10 for me despite a few concerns. The only thing I didn't like at all was Amagi's makeup. (I know I'm not alone in this.) In too many shots it looked like he had a puppet mouth that had been smeared with lipstick.
For the finale I was really happy that Tanaka remained a key part of the story and emerged as the counterpart to Katori as advisor/wingman to Takara. I loved it when Tanaka asked Takara if Katori was his dad! It hit home that Takara really did rely on Katori's support and had reached a point of being casually direct about it.
Amagi's coyness got to be a bit much. I understand that he has deepset insecurities but for a final episode I would have liked to see a sign that the time with Takara was transforming him in a significant way.
And because Takara's smile was withheld from us for so much of the series, in the finale when it appeared those few times it was like the sun breaking out from the clouds.
I rarely ask for a Season 2 of a series but this one would benefit from one. We could see more of Katori and Tanaka and maybe watch them fall in love too. Would it be with a boy or a girl? I can't ship them as a couple together but it would be fun to watch them -- especially Tanaka -- deal with having "real" feelings for another person.
So what this bastard boyfriend did to sky, it seems he ruined Sky believe in people I am sure Prapai is the right…
From what I've read here, his boyfriend allowed his friends to gang-rape Sky. This is why he thinks that love isn't real and that the only reason a hot guy would chase him is for sex.
And the papercut scene! What a great Easter egg!
Mean and Plan make an appearance too, which adds to the irony.

Starring a m/f couple. 🙄

If you saw Mark and Ou En in "Love is Science?" then you'll know what to expect here.
I can't wait to see how ladies' man Tan with his "Casanova lite" persona ends up chasing after the straight-laced but firey Foei. Pass the popcorn.
