J100

Ep 9 surprised me , it was the best episode so far, there is honesty and a plot that I've never seen in bl before, it could be that it's not a bl, but you can call it more "gay" fantasy drama, there are still some usual tropes in the way, like the girl that can not face Nat is gay, but other then that there are real dialogs, Kensit mom talking with Song ab out his father, have some honesty in the dialog, every old person knows it's partly true, parents love their kids in a different way, but there are parents who doesn't like their kids, or like less, or even hate, even so there is a comfort in her dialog that make you look on the bright side without sounding cliché,
Other scenes are between Nat and tofu that make you feel it's a real couple with a real progress,
I love love love Tofu , and the actor plays him, every time I'm watching him I'm blown a way by his talent, and beauty, it's like watching alien, or a Dall, he is flowless in his look and acting,
I can not fond of Nat but his acting is perfect too, it's just not likable person maybe, it could be that it's not the right choice they made for casting him, he is a good actor, but he doesn't have the aura of a shining actor, for example if they took someone that are really beautiful it could make his anger softer to the viewer eyes, I know it's a shallow and cruller thinking, but it's they way things work, it should be someone who worth watching his anger and violence, every time he is shouting I feel really bad for watching him, and I don't feel Tofu love is worth it. but thankfully In Sarin holds it and make it look so wonderful, to the point you wanna hug him to and believe there is no limit for love

I think the producer is talented, you know it if he can make this film with almost no budget and maybe even with a simple iPhone
There were couple of problems, first h didn't film the both characters when there is a dialog, most of the time it's one person talking and we watch only his face, it take me out of the film. You don't feel you are there with them.
Second, it was not clear enough, it was cut so much that you need to connect the dots by yourself, but this was too much connect.
Last think,Jeon doesn't look like a Judo student , I know it could sound ignorant, but that is tv, it's very shalow, it's the same factor as casting good looking acors, is either you are in the club or out.

I guess bl popularity is rising,

Same old boring Tawain drama, that can not compare to the first history as they trying , the falling kiss becomes a big joke, I don't care if the plot is the same over and over again, I just wish there was more interesting moments, but the "Shy" character is a bad actor or a dull character, I don't know, it's pretty similar to the last few series thay had , same type of characters, even in History 3, but at list in H3 there were more interesting moments.

Second ep was ok, it could have been better, I felt there is not connection bewteen the character that was inlove at first episode and theone that "pretened " not to love in the second , it'slike two different characters, I could be Dunk acting , or the script, I don't know

Yes, I think it's the first time to watch an honest dialog

Wow I'm in shock from the scene in 8:40 ep 8, is it real?! Am I witnessing a mircle of Thai series being honest? !

Is it a real bl or just broamnce, like without a kiss or gay relatinship?

WTH is happned in ep 7, did they cut out scene? there are missing cnnections scenes

Thai have a lot of pool scenes like that, Golden blood is not the first one

Watching now in bing upmuntil episode 6, it was just ok , not the best, but I expect more sufisticated plot, it is too simple , and after watching The trueman show you expecti g alot a lot more. The female character does'nt make sense at all, it is flat charcter without emotions, and the kisses wasn't felt real, or exiting, even if both actors even married jut now in real life, it's strange, I think it's a complex of flat story, story that didn't developed well exactly lime the web toon writer, the father, he didn't plan the end and it's exactly what the real writer did to this drama!!! it's reflect her mind set,
She could have think about the big picture, for example think about other suspected characters, but instead she blame the writer , I will watch the end just to know if they changed it.
I expected more from this one after watching episode 1, 2, but then episode 6 killed everything.

Yes, I really think that they don't care at all, they just want to start bl and the wave as much as possiable and creating more idols for this ganre, but they doesn't really care of the result for now, when they will have the big productions support they will care more.

They are not the only one with tight budget and short series, but still everytime they fall to the same problem, instead of thinking more creative , for example , in US independent productions - after the pilot season they puting head start for next season, if they can not handle the story in 1 season it have to be more then 2, if they don't want head start they can always change the story and make it more simple, like drop out the mother scenes, but they always repeating the same mistake.

Ep 1 is poorly made, but what can we do I am waiting for the "hot" moments:))

The last episode was boring and things happened without connection to the previous episodes, the side couple for example, as they didn't get more time maybe it was rushed , and it doesn't felt right.

You are on point, everything you wrote made the ending boring,

I have to say Ok is a good actor, when I watching him on his singing it's different personality completely, it's nothing to resemble the character here, he also looks less fine(is it the way to call it whiter skin?) in reality, I think they adding a lot of white colors on the editing to make their skin brighter,
Btw Is he married?

This drama had one of the main problem we watch in bl, no bounderies in a bad way, not long time a go they use a lot of violence until people complain, now they still need to check themselfs a lot, some cleaning need to be done.it will take time. as bl audience don't understand what they are watching realy,
And When I'm writing low quality I mean the overall , They can use the best camera in the world and it would not help,

I add a long comment I erase because I thought that no one here notice, for me the producers are sick, first problem the cat look like a teen, without shirt, then get into a shower with older guy, if he wasn't attracted to him, or if they would not have put it on the trailer and the tumbnail I could think maybe it was innosence , but all the combination of this things make it sick,
There is a Japanese live action of my pet, it's kind of similar, there is nothing that reflect this sick problem in there, because the actors look a lot older, and the vibe in general was not sexual, only romantic and it was later on, it's only from what I remember because it was old drama (the made new one but the first one was long time a go in a different era)
in contrary to this one that jumping right into the flames of exitments and sexuality,
If we were on the 50's it could have maybe pass and considered inosence, but now days it could not, Because people know too much already, at least some of them.
First, the target is bl fans , but bl audience looking for boys love, it's under the title of more mature content, if it was just a teen series, they could take out the attraction and the shower scene.
Second, Iwe should always replace the characters with a female, this is a good analytic tool to use in any bl series, because our prespective on bl is still ignorant and infancy , it's only the start of opening up to gay consept, so we still don't know and learning how to think about the relationship, that is why Me2 moovment didn't reach gays community fully, it's in diapers, so if we replace the cat with a female you would understand the problem, it will be clear , not need to think too much,

Most of bls are toxic, but it's ok as long as it have some bounderies, or if it's presented as a full comedy, that can not be harmless, this show is enjoyable, but it did cross the bounderies with the violence, not because of the fist, but because of the reaction to it, and it's clearly not a comedy, the reaction is too forgiving , like nothing really happening, to tell someone "you are wrong" by his friends is still too forgiving, we are in dark times it's clear, at the same time we are in a problematic era , when everything is politicly correct, so we need to adjust it somehow and it's not easy, the bounderies of reality and thinking is slowly slowly getting blurry, the more we progress, it's hard to know if we moving background or moving forward,
But if you have more knowladge you could not justify it, you are justifying it for your own needs. You are writing :"To me, it's partly a result of the still unexplainable miraculous transformation of Tofu"
it doesn't matter really, it's your own taste that want to justify violence in that part, if you dislike the series you probably would have been less firgiving,
For me- it's doesn't matter if I like it or not, I'm expect from myself to be objective as much as I can and to keep my critical thinking. and this one is on fault for sure even if I do know it's fiction and do like it!!!
