Nah don't like that platform... I know where to get high quality downloads but I'm not a fan of pirating... This being said... If there's no official platform by the time it comes out... Well... I'll submit to my inner demon.

You know... People should stick to what it written instead of putting words in other people's mouth. Did I say no sexual intercourse before being in your mid-20s?

The trailer is insaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaane!!!!
Which platform apart from VIU for those of us who live in Europe?

He might not be stupid in the novel... but he is definitely here though... just look at how quickly he forgave Ming when it took lots of chapters in the original novel. And I get your point. I sort of read not read the novel so I'm very much aware of how it happens in it.

I think they made these changes because it was just impossible for them to stick to the original plot with so little episodes left. It would be great if Thailand made longer BLs. The longest BL I've seen was Kinnporsche with 14 episodes and even then the end was an open-ending ( and sadly there will never be a second season given all the drama that unfolded after its successful airing).

I agree with your comment, as mentioned the show is full of flaws but I still like it. Last week I was a bit stressed when seeing the preview but it was better than what I expected... This being said... I can't get over the show trying to turn Tong into a good guy.

But at the end of the day... I can get past this... as long as Joe is happy by the end of the show. I think they made a good point of showing that Ming doesn't care about anything but the person he loves so I'm all for it. It's not a relation I would support in real life - Ming's love borders on obsession and it is extremely unhealthy as well as suffocating for the other person involved - but this is fiction, so I'm all for it. In fiction. Again.

100% with you here...but I'm not holding my breath...

At this point I'm convinced Joe is not only stupid but also into sadomasochism。 I still love this character though... but I'm having a hard time sympathizing with him given what happened in episode 11. And I get why he did what he did, given the fact he grew up parentless, but come on' , Tong is just a dirtbag, why the hell would you voluntarily get involved with HIS mess? At least, if it was for Ming, I could have understood. I was SO PISSED watching this whole mess unfold. For once I was with Ming but what can you do when the man you love is literally doing his best to ruin himself. Ming's a mess but Joe loves trouble so at the end of the day... They deserve each other.

Can't believe I still like both of them. I don't even understand myself.

Second... Ming's mother is one thing but are we supposed to feel sorry for Tong right now? WHERE IS MY REVENGE! I WANT HIM TO SUFFER!
Like hell he grew a conscience overnight. This is REALLY DISSAPOINTING SHOW!!! I WANT PUBLIC HUMILIATION FOR THIS POOR EXCUSE OF A HUMAN BEING. I WANT BLOOD. I WANT REVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENGE!!!

But I probably won't get it, so I'm going to do my best to psychologically prepare myself for next Friday.

This show is so so so so flawed and yet I can't tear my eyes away for it... Probably gonna be one of my fav or even my favorite BL of the year... and I can't even rationally explain it because honestly... there's so many things that are just wrong with it... I just don't get it.

I need the Master to enlighten me on the recesses of my misfunctioning brain.

10 minutes into episode 4 and the show still sucks. Out of the 3 BLs I'm currently watching, this is the worst.
At least Love and Sea got better this week... though it took half of its run to move up a gear... but the show is shorter so it's more bearable.

Do I drop this?
Well no. I found a very good use for it. I'm working at home and sometimes I need to "empty my brain" for 10/15 minutes before going back to work... What to do then?

Watch this. Completely brainless. No interest whatsoever. Easy on the eye but so bad you don't feel like you want to add "just another minute" to your break.
Might probably going to take a whole day or two to finish one episode... but at least I'm being efficient and not being overly obsessed with a show to the point of stalking its thread or reading the novel.

So thank you Sunset x Vibes. I'm grateful for you helping me being productive.

Bank... I'm so sorry for you... I have no hate for any actors even if I think their acting is bad...
But you really are not helped. I can't believe there were 3 screenwriters for this.

What the fudging fudge did they smoke?

Figured... I had posted a youtube link but I don't know why I can no longer see it...
Anyway, trying to repost... The link I had posted was actually this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlvHJ2E-aII

They speak about lots of things but they end up talking about the Burning Sun affair around the 13/14 minutes mark.

You've seen the link I've posted? So weird... I can't see it now....

You'll grow out of that phase at some point. A good story is a good story regardless of it being BL or not.
I enjoy BLs but I don't watch ONLY BLs (and thank God because most BLs are pretty mediocre), but It's true I've noticed on MDL that lots of people who watch BLs have watchlist that constists almost only of BLs which I found pretty puzzling.
I hope one day we get to the point where BL is no longer a genre it itself, a time when we'll watch a story just for the story which just happens to have gay characters.

This is not now though.
Anyway if you only stick to BLs, you're missing out on lots of very good shows... but your loss.
Glad you're enjoying this one though.

Looks pretty dramatic... We'll see. Not a fan of calling a man "wife" but whatever... I'll take what's provided. At least it changes from the usual BL fare.

I'm going to trust you on that because I don't like to watch anything beyond the trailer of a drama before having watched it. I honestly don't care for the NC scenes, if there are, good, if there are not, it doesn't matter.
NC scenes don't make for a good drama anyway, but I do want the relationship to be very clear and not vaguely suggested without being suggested as the Chinese have been doing since forever. But by your comment, it's not gonna be the case... So hoping for the best.

Ah yeah sorry... Hadn't noticed

I'm not sure this is not going to be partially censored... In the description it's writen Thailand/Taiwan... So I was relieved.
Then I checked the trailer and their accent is definitely Chinese... Checked the actors and they're Chinese... And we know what happened to all actors that acted in censored BLs previously.

I'm gonna wait for opinions before checking this one out because even it's co-produced by Thailand, I can't help but think this is not going to be "Thailand level of freedom production".

Which platform for streaming?

I put a thumbs up... But I still disgress. I checked what this HIIT is about. Turns out... It's actually what I've been practicing for the past 5 years. I just didn't know it was called like this. Basically I do what is called "Body Attack" by Les Mills at the gym with our coach. It's one hour of very intense training and it turns out that the movements involved and the intensity of the training is what are featured in what people called HIIT. This with a bit of Body Pump. I'm not a true sport's woman but I do exercise 3 hours a week sometimes more. I'll give you that it's really efficient。 Checked my pulse 3 weeks ago to the doctor. It's currently 40 beats per minute when resting.

Turns out I started this, weighing around 57 kg for 158cm ( I was already exercising plus I'm Black so we tend to weight heavier for the same frame compared to Caucasians and Asians)...

And I'm currently at 62.5 kg (there are periods when I had to reduce my exercice due to work and there was the COVID, that was awful but the trend is clear, I'm putting on weight).

Outward shape is still the same but I've built quite a lot of muscles on top. Shed a bit of fat but not that much. Of course it's my own personal experience but yeah... Doesn't matter... It's all a matter of food when it comes to weight.

You can do all the exercise in the world if at the end of the day you don't reduce the amount of food you eat, you're not gonna shed the weight... And it is NOT EASY. Personally the more muscles I build the more I always feel hungry. It's like my body is telling me to eat more because it's got more muscles to feed which is all great but I haven't managed to get rid of the fat that was there in the first place.

Anyway... I'm almost 100% sure he didn't do that. 1. It's really really intense. You can't do that with an empty stomach. You consume a LOT of calories and lose a lot of water. No joke. I used to not pay attention to that at the beginning until I almost fainted once and the coach told me to eat a very hearty meal 3 to 4 hours before coming. Fast sugar doesn't last long enough to feed your muscles during the whole ordeal, and if you eat too late you're bound to throw up.
2. Ji Sung has been having severe back problems for years of which he talked about in several interviews.
3. Of course there are other versions of HIIT, with bikes for instance... But nonetheless... You're definitely not gonna lose 15 kg in two months without starving yourself.

As for Korean actors... Men pay attention to their looks... But it can't be worse than women who literally starve themselves all the time. Being athletic is not really popular in Asia when it comes to women. You have to be petite and cute or tall and lanky. They even do injection to reduce the size of their trapezium or calves.

UEE is naturally pretty wide shouldered and muscular. People used to always comment about it. Now she looks like a skeleton in all of her dramas. All Korean actresses starve themselves but for her it's even more apparent because you can see she's got bigger bones and muscles than most Korean women in the entertainment circle. Except if she was lean but at a more healthy weight, she'd probably be much more curvy and this would not correspond to Korean beauty standards. Gotta control the size of your thighs。 Can't have them stuck together even if it's mostly muscles but whatever.

At least men can exercise and look good in a healthy way.

Though I do agree... I personally like to have good looking actors on my screen. I also consider it's part of the job.

Well "Not Me" was amazing, " Be my Favorite" was also pretty fun. I personally really enjoyed "The Eclipse", the Thaï remake of "Cherry Magic" was also nice though not as much as the original in my book... I also really enjoyed "Never Let Me Go"...
All of the above are GMMTV dramas and I'm sure there are other titles I'm forgetting.

Crazy Handsome Rich's trailer was just dreadful so I didn't bother. I usually only check the writer of a drama when the drama is terrible so as to avoid bothering in the future. Among all the dramas you mentioned, I only watched I Feel You Linger in the Air which was nice but like you I didn't like it as much as most people. Lovely Writer and Something in my Room were already on my mental To Be Watched List ans I wasn't planning to watch Hidden Agenda because the trailer looked meh.

I personally think trailers are important cause I don't have the time to bother with all shows. Sometimes it's misleading (like here... I was expecting something more fantasy oriented and we're not getting this so far but I'm still holding out hope) but frankly in any romance story you know who is gonna end up with whom so I don't see why it defeats the purpose of watching the show when it comes to romance at least.
The process is more important than the end-game.

The thing is if you watch too much of the same thing... you start not enjoying shows you would otherwise have enjoyed. It happened to me with K dramas at some point. Got fed up with some trends and what I considered poor plots. Then watched a whole lot of very mediocre Thaï and Chinese shows... Find myself with a renewed appreciation for my K dramas. It didn't change my mind regarding some of the shows I've watched... But I came to realize they weren't as bad as I thought they were because I was so used to shows being "too good" that I ended up considering the "mediocre" as bad...

But then I saw how lazy and how deep into the shitty hole a storyline could be writen... and I was enlightened.

But that's just my opinion.

OK thanks!

She explained her version in this video. Eng subs are available.

Geez... Is it customary in China to summarize the whole novel at the back of the novel? I'm genuinely curious。
