I'm quite hard western productions bc I truly feel like I would have been better off not seeing the media that I was exposed to while growing up and into early adulthood.
I really enjoyed Heartstopper and Call me By your Name. I hope all the little gay boys in the world are able to see Heartstopper and so many of these productions from SE Asia - maybe the next generation of us will less messed up.
I've never thought about why Chinese subtext is so amazing - they are masters of it, you are completely right. I do like how long Chinese dramas are too.
Would you recommend K&H over Guardian? And, you've see them all, of the big 4 that are always mentioned for subtext - Untamed, WoH, Guardian & K&H - which is your favorite? 😁
For the sake of argument, I thought this generation was all about fluidity. Noey and Thi are Gen-Z, so why aren't…
Sorry, I actually deleted that comment before I saw your reply. I would have left it for context. I actually have ran into this a lot and it was more of a button than I realized - I felt like I overreacted.
Anyways, you entirely correct - there are no male fan events of that kind... I don't how big that would be. Right now this industry is still on events like that bc they haven't quite grasped the full global aspect of this yet.
A Dollar, Pound, Euro, Yen, all are worth far, far more than a Baht. Once they give the international audience an equivalent to the fan meets...

Yeah, I think there are a ton of gays watching this now. I won't support western queer productions at all. I'm literally done with Hollywood's depiction of gay men.
I actively choose not to support western LGBT shit, bc its shit.
I did watch Heartstopper but Young Royals season 2 wasn't enough for me to renew my Netflix subscription and I haven't even got around to pirating it.
I PAY for GAGA, Viki, iQiyi and have spent money on Strongberry, ITSAY, and several more - I could pirate all of these super easy but I don't.
Not sure if you have heard about bisexuality but okay 😅 nowhere in the series did Noey or anyone else say Noey…
This is the same Director that gave us the hi-five at the end of 2gether. I felt like that entire show was a troll. Its all about the Director. There are a lot of actual LGBT ppl in the BL industry these days, so I expect this to only get better. 10 years ago main characters would only be "gay 4 you" outside of the obvious, super flamboyant, ladyboy type character. It has come a very long way.
Ok, I'm on episode 3 and I don't even mind the show - lowkey nice to see Chimon and Perth again, Pond and Phuwin are not doing a bad job, its whatever... I had to take an actual break at the end of part 2 of episode 3, fr
That scene where Palm is lying in bed, dreaming of dancing, then out nowhere we find out he's in a bunk bed and his Dad walks in, crawls into the top bunk and says some shit about getting up early in the morning - I'm not even rly sure what he said bc I was already going to close the tab
I think that may have been one of the most unbelievable things I have ever seen. Not so much that a father and son share a room, thats not what I mean - that the writers thought that in this setting, under these circumstances, that I would just buy into that being just one more thing poor Palm is dealing with" - like... just pisses me off.
Richest family in Thailand, super nice lady/family matriarch enrolls lifelong employee's son into her own son's super elite, ultra expensive private school and personally invites him to live in her mansion, saying something like "there are many rooms here" and the Dad makes the kid bunk up with him. Like really, did they send someone to buy the bunkbed, why was there even bunkbed in the entire house?
Why would this man take a bullet for a lady that puts him up in a closet that he has to share with his son? Why would a grown ass man think it appropriate behavior for him to share a closet with his 18 year old son in his bosses mansion house?
I literally felt that actors shame as he crawled into that top bunk. That was ridiculous.
I would say that this is less of a BL, and more of a lakorn with LGBTQ+ elements. BLs usually focus more on the…
"proposing alternatives to capitalism"
I cannot agree with you more on that topic. I will say that homophobia is not at all eradicated in the States. Right now there is a growing movement among conservatives to label all gays, at least men, "groomers" and they are actively trying to remove us from jobs like school teachers, etc. With the composition of our Supreme Court, I'm not even positive gay marriage is a permanent fixture of our society.
All that said, your still right.
Late stage capitalism is a nightmare that will only get worse as long as we continue dreaming.

That is exactly what I thought about Word of Honor before I finally watched it and that was fantastic. That said - I haven't watched this or Guardian yet for the exact reason you mentioned. If I want to watch a "bromance" or gay sub-text I'll just a western LGBT production and stop before they die at the end
There are lines from this show I can quote months after watching it once.
It was very emotional but I feel like I'm better off having watched it - it just hits hard on so many things we'll all deal with in life. It was sad, I'm literally tearing up a little just revisiting it to write this, but it remains one of the most positive things I've ever seen.
Seems like just another fluffy high school BL but something about it really stuck with me - just hits different. Very talented young cast and the Director is the same that did History 2: Crossing the Line - one of the best BLs ever.
this is definitely one of the biggest let downs in recent BL memories.. it proves just because u like a couple…
What were you expecting? I've really enjoyed the show so far - I didn't even realize it was a slow burn. UWMA was so heavy and I like the lighter feel of this. This is one of my favorite Win projects for sure.
I might be biased bc I definitely do not think Boun is boring 😉
The lead role was shown to us as a completely straight and even womanizer person in the first episode. After 5…
It was a dream and he knew it - that is the reason he was wondering why he didn't wake up.
I definitely wouldn't call Dew a "strange man" and basing everything solely on appearances - I don't think he's threatening at all, even before he initiates the kiss and his doing that cut out a lot of small talk.
He's also quite the little cutie and reasonably open minded people often have different "rules" regarding attractive people they like. Plus they "met" in bed already. The way it all played out I think Mum was doomed from the start ;)
