No needs to waste time, for someone hasn't watched the show and judged it just by 1 part of one episode, and then…
You are 100% right! It was that comment about the Thai industry that got me. I've been incredibly impressed with the adaptability and growth shown by the industry over the last 3-4 years. Everything has improved. The genre is becoming much more popular than I expected - this is still very early.
BL in Thailand is so competitive that with quality like this already I think the future looks very bright. The comments they be dropping about BL being Thailand's "soft power" are relevant - they are aware they have global attention. Thats why if you go back and watch a BL from 5-6 years ago they are night and day different bc its made for a different audience.
Most of the things Snow was trolling about are being fixed or have been fixed already.
Reading that comment for this show felt like someone yelling at a team for sucking so much after they just won a game. Haha, like I said - it got me 😅
I'm not even going to start this comment with my usual "omg." Thailand puts out so much BL slime every month there…
Haha, yeah - you don't anything about this clearly. I understand your comment because you obviously haven't seen very many BL's out of Thailand recently and your opinion was far more valid 2-3 years ago than it is in 2023. The industry is really coming together for this genre - Thai BLs have seen such significant improvement, in such short a time, I can't quite stress enough how impressive it is.
Without getting into the details - bc I've seen all the BL, Thailand makes the best BL. Thailand has also made some of the worse BL - but I really do think those days are coming to an end/over already. There is so much BL now that I've had the luxury of being selective and won't watch just anything anymore.
I guess I'm just no longer starved to see people like me on screen. Or maybe I guess I've just had my fill of garbage - I don't know 😑
This particular show - that you just left THAT comment on, literally has Disney level production quality, a fantastic incredibly talented cast and is actually somewhat original - DESPITE just being another HS BL it was 💯
This is a musical and it is arguably the best HS BL - I wouldn't be surprised to find this at the top of many lists.
And this cast you just wrote off - you will see them all again! Like for example - I wasn't going to watch Moonlight Chicken because I don't like the sound of the plot BUT I found out the leads from this show are in it and now I'm going to watch it 🤣
OK. Clearly your trolling with that 3.5 but I can't let this just sit here. I may have to start leaving actual reviews - I'm definitely writing one for this show.
A new Fujin 5 years from now will have so much content to catch up on - even if only the best past shows are watched. I expect 5 years from now there will generally be more BL than now. Further competition for our attention should assure high expectations of professionalism, overall quality and innovation. We are going to start being more and more selective with what we watch.
No 3.5 rated show would ever meet the thresh hold for viewing if I believed I would never be able to watch them all. I've removed shows from my watchlist for exactly this reason already - if someone thinks its that bad, can't be worth my time.
Yeah, this is not that bad tho.
"Between Us" is proof the BL world is progressing and improving. If this show had been released early 2018, exactly as is and without UWMA for context or nostalgia, it would likely have been highly acclaimed with very little constructive criticisms or complaints - 90% of conversation would have focused on Ships and the timeless "Who is Uke/Seme?" debate.
Between Us is quite literally better than all but the most legendary BL shows released prior to 2019 - this is literally exactly what we thought a BL should look like circa 2020 and is far more polished.
BL is changing right now - moving beyond the traditional format and into something new. That is why this story, already told in 2020, feels a little off in 2023.
Not 3.5 off tho - not objectively at least.
More like a master landscape artist releases the best landscape painting of his career to date but the world moved onto modern art while he was painting, so his masterpiece was meh.
This is one of my absolute favorites. It is very angsty and Vee can be a real moron at times but that is all part of it. Despite Vee being a really stupid man he is one of my favorite characters in all of BL. Obviously this is a drama and things are blown out of proportion but I still found this show to be rather believable - just feels more real than most.
Yin and War did a fantastic job as Vee and Mark - so much of their interactions felt natural. War is a fantastic actor - says so much with his expressions. Yin played Vee perfectly - I was very impressed with him many times and his smile is a 10 out of 10. The chemistry between the leads was excellent and I do hope we see more projects with the two of them!
his acting is bad. there was a reason that he didn't speak thai much because it would have showcased his bad acting…
English is the global language - that is fact. Historically, It was a British thing, but now its all of ours. There are likely more English speakers in China & India individually than the US and UK combined. I still want English to evolve a little more still - add all the best words from all the other languages that English lacks.
Anyways. What you said tho - absolutely, unequivocally, and undeniably made you sound like a self-centered westerner. I mean, like... exactly like the stereotype. You even said you weren't "a self centered westerner" which is as based as it gets. The overall tone, poor grammar, punctuation that has nothing to do with how the text is meant to be read and that fantastic bit about the Thai captions 👌💯
To be frank, I think you troll too frankly - your never gonna get any fish to bite. You will find other trolls tho 😉😁
The romance in NiF2 is really not the primary part of the story at all. I don't recall a kiss even between the main lead and his wife, the female lead.
I understand you must have a zero tolerance policy.
I may have enjoyed the second season more than the first and I didn't think that was possible after I finished the first season. Both are very good!
I think its the dad. He probaly insisted that his son share a room with him because he doesnt want it fo look…
Haha, yeah I just tend to overreact sometimes. That is exactly what is going on. I was just annoyed they went that far with it. Absolutely not as a big of a deal as I made it in that rant - if I had recalled writing that before your reply, I prolly would have deleted it 😂
For the sake of argument, I thought this generation was all about fluidity. Noey and Thi are Gen-Z, so why aren't…
I actually did realize that and I didn't mean to zone in that so much - it was an over reaction 😂
I actually agree with you about Gen Z - those I know, even in a rather conservatively backwards area, are much more open minded. They seem to even have a different take on relationships in general.
i really rec you dont watch it, the ppl that rate it good are lying. also dont watch if you get triggered- It…
Alright, so you have an awesome profile that made laugh but I couldn't disagree with you more on this.
Society is holding one of them back more than the other bc one is poor and one has wieldable power due to his Father being actually in the communist party (very big deal) - I think more likely reason the show was cancelled. He literally takes a government official guy's dog - to him the world rules don't apply. Its much easier for him to accept who he is and envision a life against the grain.
I just don't see the whole rape thing. If he was being raped he would have done more than say no - these are two men were talking about and I wouldn't say either come across as weak.
He is totally obsessed though and its 🔥💯
I still think this is one the absolute best ever made.

I have lots of fun with it. I think that says a lot about me.
It says a lot about you that you do that here and about this kind of content.
One troll to another - i feel bad for you 😉
Snow something prolly thinks Korea makes the best BL 🤣

This is a more "traditional" BL story in 2023 🤣
He has said things over the years that are just not OK.
Over the years is key here...

This was one of the biggest shows in Thailand in 2022 - there is a reason it got a 4 episode second season so fast.
That is one of my favorite things ever.
