Some of the most recent Thai shows also include 4 Minutes and currently airing Kidnap, Jack & Joker, and Love…
I am also watching all the shows you listed except for J&J (because I want to binge it, hoping itās good- I like pretty much anything with War and Yin). I did enjoy 4 Minutes, though. Iām not really sold on Kidnap or Love Sick ā24 yet- didnāt finish episode 1 of LS24. Yet and still, my opinion is that the recent Thai series arenāt hitting the same as some other countriesā series for me. Iāve become less tolerant of product placement and guitars and weird sound effects (to name a few). I think itās because Iāve seen SO many Thai BLs. Maybe I need a break?š¤·š½āāļø
For example, others may enjoy them, but Iām honestly over Thai series when I see them roll out the guitar (spare me), especially when thatās not the theme. Just throwing in this random love song with a guitar is overplayed and very cringe- in my opinion. If a guitar comes out for this series, itāll be a wrap for me. (Iāve delayed watching a couple episodes because it didnāt really grab me.) I am hopeful of Every You, Every Me. I want it to skip some of the cringe- I havenāt watched the first episode yet so Iām reserving judgement. (The Hidden Moon is cringe but in a weirdly semi-enjoyable way š¤·š½āāļøas long as I can forward through the š¬.) Bad Guy My Boss is just šš½. I have high hopes for Eccentric Romance, too. š¤š½
I dropped it. Iām sure others love it, based on the rating, but I struggled to get to 10 (mostly skipping through episodes 8-10). It felt like the story dragged too long for me and the relationship felt hella awkward. But thatās just me š¤·š½āāļø
It's a little cringe. I think I will have to wait for more episodes to come out before I commit.
I agree. I love Earth but his character is too much for me with the immature whining (it reminds me of the GL characters I canāt stand). He deserves to play more mature and sassy roles. Pondās stare is just on the right side of sweet/creepy. If the writer keeps Earthās character whiny cringy, Iām out.
WeTV (Tencent for USA) has a misdirect to Live In Love instead. But GagaOOLala has it just fine. Though it isnāt airing for a little over an hour from the time of this post. Maybe WeTV/Tencent will fix their link by then for those who donāt have GagaOOLala š¤š½š«¶š½. I hope it doesnāt disappoint like some of the most recent Thai BLs have (for me). And please, please, PLEASE let there be no awkward guitar scenes (yāall know what I mean- so cringe my eyes roll every single time).
I also agree with the comment(s) about the [final episode] being a bit underwhelming. It doesnāt really seem like Kyosuke closed that friendship to lover distance emotionally like Isumi did. Itās like he chose to be in a relationship with Isumi, not because he authentically liked him romantically, but because if he didnāt, he feared Isumi would leave and Kyosuke wouldnāt see him anymore or get his cooking. Knowing more of his thoughts would have helped, but that means 10 episodes at least, plus one more for the relationship build.
And while I donāt need passionate kisses for this, they needed more than the barely there lip touch if they were going to kiss. I could actually see their heads shaking a little to keep themselves from pressing too much, like they were forcing themselves to touch lips until the director said ācutā and no more. To me, it was the most āscriptedā feeling part of the series.
As I said, I donāt need deep kissing. The series Takara-kun and Amagi-kun (high school setting) and Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice but to Kiss (college setting) are pecks too but they are more believable (and I have rewatched these two series countless times) than a college student and worker, who should be more mature.
The series needed more episodes. Ah well. Still cute up to this last episode.
I will always enjoy Japanese BLs, but this one was a bit underwhelming for me Let me add a few things....1. the…
I also agree with you about it being a bit underwhelming. That was the ending for me. I agree that it doesnāt really seem like Kyosuke closed that friendship to lover distance emotionally like Isumi did. Itās like he chose to be in a relationship with Isumi, not because he authentically liked him romantically, but because if he didnāt, he feared Isumi would leave and Kyosuke wouldnāt see him anymore or get his cooking. Knowing more of his thoughts would definitely have helped, but that means 10 episodes at least, plus one more for the relationship build. The series needed more episodes. Ah well.
You need to re-read more carefully. I was commenting on the suggested age of the CHARACTERS not the actors. Attention to detail can save time. Life skills.
Wrong country hon. This is based in Thailand with Thai actors... Kids are minors UNTIL they are 20 there. Same for Taiwan, South Korea, and some other countries around the world. Yes, 19 is still a minor.
I think the issue is short episode and weekly waiting. They should have released 2 episodes weekly. This short…
I agree. Why make us wait a whole week for 20+ minutes? Itās like eating one skittle a week. I wish I would have waited to watch until it was done airing. Lesson learned (maybeā¦Idk because Iām impulsive š¤·š½āāļø)
