Seems like an unnecessary waste of time to me. “I’m desperate for you because I’ve missed you so much and I love you so much I pined for you for FIVE years and made this shrine for you…but wait- Let’s maintain propriety in this of-limits location and cover ourselves, just in case. Don’t forget to keep your legs closed and straight in front of you, as well. We mustn’t let anyone misunderstand…”

I mean the title is Don’t Be Too Emorional- I guess they took that seriously 🤭

I feel you on the target. That’s why I put it in a spoiler tag.

I saw books and stuff. The room appeared a bit messy. Maybe not too much on the floor. I honestly didn’t do the whole rewind to examine thing after that positioning. I just wanted out of that scene quickly tbh

I appreciate that I’m not alone 🥰

I appreciate you taking that leap with me, harpooning netizens be damned! 🥰

“dry humping” had me ROLLING! Definitely for viewers who don’t know how anatomy works (not all- just those that don’t see how this doesn’t work) It was definitely a little too dramatic for the lukewarm aesthetic scene to follow.

They could have blocked with that massive statue. There is actually quite a lot of random things packed into that room they could have used to block. They didn’t need to have them lay on the floor- which limited them. But the floor also had stuff all over it, so it’s possible. Low camera angles behind objects work well. They went high instead of low and revealed the flaw.

OMG That Part! 😜”Figure it out BJane and good luck to you”

Right. I actually enjoy hearing the differences. To each their own.

The bane of LJane’s family’s existence

In short, I agree with you. I felt like an NC scene was just out there to appease the viewers who watch just for Nc scenes. And don’t get me started on this particular NC scene- the positions don’t make sense. Sigh.

The pan out shows BJane on top and his leg is bent out, but LJane’s legs are closed between them. How does…it…go in when he’s got his legs fully closed? More believable if they had LJane on his stomach for that n positioning to work. They positioned them like M/F instead of M/M. It’s the details that matter and make a scene believable. (Someone correct me if I’m wrong. Even if BJane is stallion sized, it’s gotta feel uncomfortable being bent like that in that position if it’s even remotely possible by some divine intervention or something… LJane’s legs aren’t even a little open for it…Also, why are they trying so hard to make BJane this huge black flag? And a room that’s a copy of his condo being this big No-No Entry room? Sigh.

So much with this episode… My biggest gripes are in the way LJane is to passive with the school bullies, how he’s over-blaming himself about the allergy thing… And the awkward pauses in conversation. This is a common problem I’ve found for Thai dramas. Like, how come they can’t have conversations flow more naturally in SO many of the dramas I’ve watched to date? The pauses like they were all universally told to pause for effect or something- like they all have a small earpiece that someone is feeding them lines through before they speak, and they’re so focused on that that their body language also becomes a tiny bit stiff. Y’all get what I mean?

It feels like we’ve reached this stagnant level of character growth and story development in this series. It’s dropped in rating for me as a result. I still love Gap though. And I still need Jet to be curbed by his parents frfr. Based on the preview, it appears that Bro learns NOTHING. He gets on my nerves. (I bet Dan leaked the photos… I don’t know. I have an irrational dislike of Dan I guess). How are LJane’s parents SO oblivious?! So passive as parents. Useless.

As for Jaime, I think his Thai is better than most of the white actors cast in Thai dramas, who just feel cringe af. He’s this cute little surprise to the drama and I may end up just watching for him atp. Seems like his character development will make more sense than these two MLs.

…but my biggest head tilt of confusion comes from the NC scene- Not for the reasons everyone else is mentioning. For me, it’s purely anatomical. I get the emotional “growth” they were trying to convey in the scene.

I always find it amusing when actors are covered with a blanket during NC scenes when they’re supposed to be in the privacy of their own spaces. Just do item placement and camera angles. But I get it. I still always chuckle at the bedding though. Now for scenes where someone “may” walk in? I get it. (You know which dramas I’m talking about) But no one is walking into this restricted room, so why the blanket for a position that makes no sense anyway? sigh (the blankets are a personal pet peeve of mine that’s really just a slight “hm” instead of a true peeve. I don’t really watch BLs for the NC scenes- honest to whatever diety you believe in- Though if they’re well done, I can -and do- appreciate them. I like the lead up to romance more- the budding love, and the kisses- all ranges unless they’re those dead fish lips kisses- they may as well leave a kiss scene out and just focus on creating and maintaining that delicious tension instead. Long looks and body language that screams come hither that make me giggle into my pillow like an idiot.)

I’m gonna say in the spoiler what some of you are probably thinking with me… I hope I’m not alone, anyway.

Apparently the first episode is free on YT. The second one you have to go into their channel description and click on the paetron link- the second episode requires membership.

While I appreciate the need for small productions to earn money to sustain themselves, I’m so done paying for subscriptions for individual channels after paying for the Premium YT subscription, so I guess I’m taking this off my watchlist.

Every episode link in this thread so far links to the same one episode. And when I go to their actual channel, it’s that same episode plus a trailer and a teaser. idk

You get me

You’re welcome! 😊

🤭I’m SO looking forward to the next episodes…

This links to the same first episode…

Irs like the screenwriter saw S-Line and let their imagination go wild- slap-stick Taiwanese BL style 😜

It’s also on Viki, Gaga, and iQIYI

Right! Because ho decides getting naked is the appropriate response in that situation? 😅
