Immediately rolled my eyes at the "brother" plot line. Another troupe I'm not anxious to deal with for 10 episodes. I'll still watch, and hopefully be proven wrong.

Interesting plot to be sure...but if they that clueless about each other, on the first episode; this is gonna be a slow, crawling burn

Took me minute to realise the story and it's hook. Some potential here. The camera work gets better

Tries too hard to be funny that scenes go on longer than necessary and genuine moments are almost lost

Ummm. That happened...

Well you definitely have more time with it than me. Im bingeing this week, lol

Welcome to the world of BL

Ugh these shows...why are the wronged made to apologise? Pha literally ruined a bunch of people's lives for what. Kit made the choice to rush to enable Pha, and Yu is like make up with Kit...um exsqueeze me. Is my translation wrong? Yes Mark took a risk, and it is Kits choice, but instead of being like hey Pha called he's just like nah fam, we gotta bounce this is more important than your proclamation of love...yet next episode kit is like i hurt too...and Yu is forcing his emotional vunerable friend onto this guy like that didn't just happen? Make it make sense.
And I'm already tired of Pha and he isn't even here. Like i hate they have these characters doing a bunch of shady crap and then be like, oh it's ok cause here's the situation. That's not good writing.
Maybe i have it the wrong way round, and you know what that's fine. This is why I rarely watch Thai BL, cause it is just ludacris after a while .
Not to mention the side characters stories /relationships that are just all over the place

Thanks for the reply.
Yeah i ended up bingeing several unfinished BL's so I'm just like what is even happening. I'm just wondering why even do the dream sequence at the end, of your your final episode?

He was dreaming right? I'm assuming that was the case

Overall the series isn't bad, i just felt like I was missing so much at the same. Time. Maybe that was the point that not everything is clear and gray. Or that everyone can be of actual help, because all the queer adults in Andi's life just seem to not give any real guidance and seemed to accept societies views instead of being their own person.
Again, that's what it felt like to me, so those heavy moments just left me going...'huh?' and i felt like i understood Ando less and less as the narrative moved forward.

I was shocked how people brushed over the fact he was raped.

Oh. My.

The ratings don't match the comments though ??

I rarely say this, but this definitely deserves a second season. They did it right, because this felt complete and could endhere, but there is so much story to be told a second season would just flesh out the world more and the narrative.
Also no violence was had, and the conflicts felt natural and not over dramatic. Choi Yen Woo, having actual internal conflict was something different, for me, because felt more visceral and not this villainous other person. So his internal struggle to understand his emotions and feelings just worked. And nothing was vague in this story, it was simple but coherent and just felt good. The effects felt over used at one point, but this is someone who's world is changing so I get why the effect needed to be there and that is a minor issue.
Overall i actually like this one alot. The characters felt genuine and real not archetypes that you usually get from BL's. Such a great show.

Same

Again not saying that isn't the case. The genre BL is intended for women, that's just facts. Most is written by women. Philippines are more truthful to the queer experience. This is the last time I'm engaging in this. Not saying your wrong and any sense. The fact is BL, in essence, was written by women for women fetishizing/romanticising usually none queer men together.

I didn't say they weren't. I said we are not the target audience

I'm a gay man and i find the skins ship as a mean to just fill in what the writers where too lazy to create. Remember gay people are not the audience here. That said. It's fine every now and then but if their love/intimacy can't be conveyed outside of sex/skinship, it's a failing of the writers, directors, producers.

At least they aren't doing "parts" anymore
