Transgender Character. Pink comes out as Transgender in Episode 4. Actual sources of this pretty much don't exist, apart from https://powerrangers.fandom.com/wiki/Ichika_Sakurai as it's such an obscure show.
In case someone is curious, there should be a spoiler tag, but it won't allow me to add it, and the mod just keeps saying "Include a source" but there's no where to include the source. Lol. I even explained in a message and just got the same copy/paste reply back without an acknowledgement they read my message. Tag in Spoiler Reply.
Overall, I liked the show. Am I disappointed because it was advertised as BL? Yes. Is it still *technically* BL? Yes. Two male characters are/were in love with each other. That's BL.
Also, can we just talk about the fact Khet made out with his brother's body? Lmao.
We need an actual FirstOhm series tbh. They have more chemistry than any of Ohm's pairings. Which is saying a lot cause for me, He's Coming to Me is still the best BL I've watched.
I really hope they don't kiss. I don't even like that Way said all those things to Pan, even if he doesn't know…
They likely won't. The last couple episodes most likely were filmed post-covid rules, because we only knew about 10. And no intimacy allowed on camera, just camera angles. They COULD be pre-covid, but who knows.
Jennie kissed Ohm, that was so disgusting and creepy. Entertainment industry exposing themselves right in front…
In regards to the reply you deleted - You said it was creepy because Ohm is playing a teenage boy.
Well, shocker, Jennie is playing an Angel of Death. For all we know, she's like 1 year old. She could be the same age. Who. Knows. She's not playing a human.
Jennie kissed Ohm, that was so disgusting and creepy. Entertainment industry exposing themselves right in front…
Excuse me? How is it "disgusting and creepy"? Ohm is a 20 year old man. And it was a kiss on the cheek. Do you find it disgusting and creepy when friends kiss on the cheek in places in Europe? Or are you only finding it disgusting and creepy because you are transphobic?
And again, it was on the cheek, not the lips. That's a common greeting in many countries. If it's not the fact Jennie isn't cisgender and it's the age difference, need I remind you there was literally a teenage character dating a teacher and I don't see you talking about that.
When Way told Pingping it wasn't Kim that he realized, made me wonder if they're gonna go WayKhet, lmao. Even though it was probably just him telling her that to get her to avoid targeting Kim.
And now a comment out of spoiler tags: I think a lot of people are unfairly judging this show based on the fact it was advertised as BL and being annoyed we're 7 episodes in and still nada.
I find it hilarious if you take it as it is with no preconceived notions. It's one of my favorite shows I've seen from Thailand in a long time. Most of you, from your comments, seem to be expecting this to be a drama like most BL, and not accepting it as a comedy and semi parody. If you judge Diary of Tootsies on the same basis as something like Love By Chance, Diary of Tootsies is terrible. And vice versa. You need to judge this as it is meant to be.
Not to mention, there's no rule in BL stating the couple must be there the entire time, cause there's a ton of BL where the BL couple are barely in it, like Kiss/Kiss Me Again. Or Friend Zone. Etc.
People need to realize, Way had his phone screensaver as Kim and him well before Pan took over Kim's body. Do you not realize that means he liked him before Pan took over? That was the entire point of the phone wallpaper being used as a means of him realizing he liked him. Pan's been a jerk to him, why would you think her antics caused him to like Kim?
If anything, by distancing herself as Kim from Way, she made him realize how he felt about Kim. We don't know if Kim likes Way or not, just that he was using the teacher for test answers, and had apparently never kissed her, so it's entirely possible they will end up with Way/Kim as a couple.
No One: Absolutely No One: First/Kim: EHHHHHHH?!?!
This show so far is so adorable. Won't go into details, but even if it's not BL, this may be the first non-BL I've watched on here I end up enjoying. It's hilarious, full of tropes, and very tongue in cheek. And it has the cuteness of First and Ohm to boot.
...are we sure the # of episodes is right? It says it stops airing July 14th. Episode 5 comes out tomorrow. Unless they delay the finale for over a month, there should be 12 episodes, based on when it's supposed to end.
Okay. I have to give my input now. First, to those of you saying that shit about Mean need to stop. Mean said…
There's a massive difference. Perth and Krist didn't belittle the genre when they said that. There's a reason people are not happy with what Mean said. You don't like us not liking it? Ignore the comment. We're entitled to our opinion just as much as you. If there weren't other people involved in this show that have said nothing to the regards Mean did, I wouldn't watch it. But I will because I want to support THEM, not Mean.
Jesus Christ please stop hating on Perth. I'm pretty sure Perth was scarred from the Manager situation, and doesn't…
"As long as you don't look down on what you did and respect the content, then it's absolutely fine. " You mean exactly what Mean did? I have heard very little complaints about what Perth said. Every comment I've seen is directed at Mean, who belittled BL. Perth simply said he didn't want another BL couple that isn't Saint. Which to be honest, wouldn't have even raised any eyebrows if he wasn't just in The Stranded with a different guy.
This is the most useless suggestion ever. This series is written in the form of a diary, I thought it was clear…
I'm not forcing people to do anything. I'm entitled to my own opinion just like you are yours. My opinion is people are better off skipping the first 5-6 episodes. There wasn't a funny thing in them after the opening plane scene and they contributed absolutely nothing to the overall plot.
Second, season 1 was not disjointed at all. There were themes and stories that ran through the entire season.
Meanwhile, this doesn't happen until the second half of this season. I found the second half to have the same charm as season 1 but the first half did not. And based on the reviews, a bunch of people agree with that.
You say you want people to form their own opinions, then essentially tell me I'm not entitled to share my opinion by telling me not to post it. By that logic, MDL should just delete the comments sections of every page.
Honestly, without spoiling anything, I'd suggest skipping the first 5-6 episodes. They are unrelated to each other or any future episodes. They're standalone episodes and are very boring. The only thing you get out of it is being introduced to Win. If I just rated this based on episodes 5/6-12, I'd probably give it a 9, but I can't give it higher than 7.5 with the first 5/6 episodes.
In regards to the people defending Mean by saying most Thai actors see Boys Love as the "lowest form" of acting:
Many things in America are considered the lowest form of acting, like acting in a children's show like Power Rangers. Doesn't make it any less important to support the shows and the actors. For instance, there's multiple Power Rangers actors who refuse to acknowledge their history on the show, saying it was embarrassing. There are others who embrace it and the fandom, and because of that, they have lifelong fans. They often cite Power Rangers as the show that gave them a chance, and they'll always be grateful for that. People like Rose McIver and Adelaide Kaine, who have been all over TV and movies lately. Those same actors who are grateful will even return for reunion episodes for HORRIBLE pay (from what one of them told us, they were given like $200 a day for one episode that happened a few years ago, which is ridiculously low. Flight, Room, ad Board were covered, but probably $1000-2000 is a SMALL amount of money for an episode of a TV show) because they know it gets them more fans, keeps the fans they have loving them, and helps present them more opportunities for work in the future, as it shows they have a good work ethic.
My issue with what Mean said is he implied that Boys Love are not worth doing unless you're old or need money. I understand that they might see it as the "lowest form" of acting, but there's no "lowest form." If ANYTHING is the "lowest form" it's acting in an Indie Movie that has like a $1000 budget, which MANY well known actors have done. And yes, I will acknowledge it's entirely possible we misinterpreted it. However, unless he clarifies it, people telling us not to stop supporting him for what he MIGHT have said need to put the shoe on the other foot - you're telling us to support him for what he MIGHT have said as well.
Shows like Love By Chance will help his career more than a straight drama ever will. From what my friends in Thailand told me, BL are very popular there and often perform much better compared to the comparable straight drama. So his entire interview just read off as gay panic, which personally, I don't want to support. However, Plan, Gun, Mark, etc. have never said anything of the sort, and Perth has said the complete opposite, so not watching LBC2 and supporting THEM would be ridiculous. However, I won't be supporting Mean.
If anything will ever hurt his career, it's the fact he belittled the very shows that gave him the start. Regardless if it was meant that way or not.
Also, can we just talk about the fact Khet made out with his brother's body? Lmao.
