Please post spoilers for the final episodes if you have them (but behind the "spoiler" tag). I need to know if either one of the two best characters ends up dead.
It will be strange if they air all of the series for international fans except the last two episodes. Maybe they'll withhold the final two for a month or so and then post them like usual. By then most of us will have moved on.
Aside from Em and Name's story, for me this series is all surface and no depth. Everyone is so damn perky. They don't just speak their lines -- they squeal them. Nobody except Gun's dad shows that they're even capable of being irritated with anyone else. Real people don't behave this way. It wouldn't be a problem except the show is striving so hard to be realistic, so the sentimentality drags it down.
In this regard the background music is no help. At the bouncy tunes and pizzicato cuteness feel like a relentless campaign to convince us that this series is wholesome, dammit.
Gun and Golf's story is the dumbest of all. (I'll get to Mean's in a moment.) How can Golf, a handsome and intelligent, likeable guy, not have a girlfriend or boyfriend who would make him drift away from an online friend who has avoided meeting him for TEN F'IN YEARS? Why would he put up with Gun constantly resisting an in-person meet-up? By now he should suspect he's being catfished.
First's acting contends with Mean's for the worst in the series. I legit thought First was great as Fiat in TT2. Then came "Don't Say No," which rewrote Fiat's history so that he wasn't a slut anymore, he was just a nice guy who was blackmailed or tricked into doing bad things. I much preferred the diabolical Fiat of TT2, and apparently so did First.
His acting has deteriorated further in this series. He delivers his dialog like he's being tazered.
Mean is an interesting case. When it comes to BL, he's like the boyfriend who broke up with you a couple of years ago and now seems to regret it, so he ends up always lurking on the sidelines when you're hanging out with friends or your new boo. (He also shows up with Plan, his partner in crime, in "Why You .. Y Me?". Have you watched any of that one yet? It's the BL series that stars a het couple, because yeah.)
So far it's pretty funny that Mean and his fright wig get first billing in the opening credits. In the scene outside the bar he sounded so awkward and uncomfortable, clearly a supporting character performance at best. Maybe his character won't be such a side dish later in the series, but for now he's comic relief for all the wrong reasons. His acting is terrible, and in the next episode it looks like his wig is going to be big enough to lay down shag carpet all over Bangkok.
At least Gun's pimples cleared up. From one shot to another in the previous episode they would relocate on his face. For that to happen from minute to minute must be a rare condition. He's lucky to have come through with skin that is absolutely flawless. Not many acne survivors can count on that.
I don't think 4/4 was a flashback ... it was the boys realizing that they had to concoct an actual film after Wat spoke up.
The "we're making a movie" stuff was lame as hell, because (excuse me) where were the cameras? But otherwise that was one of the most exciting episodes of anything I've seen in a while. Louis as Thua absolutely killed it!
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.

You made me literally LOL. I skipped through that scene ... well, I skipped through most of the Fah-Sher scenes tbh.
You're right about the drinking. And I still can't get used to people in a bar standing next to their tables to dance.
Aside from that, this series is a winner.

And the papercut scene! What a great Easter egg!

Starring a m/f couple. 🙄
