I didn’t mean to generalize. And I apologize.

This is the first time in a Thai BL that I’ve seen a main wearing a toupee. Not that I mind a toupee but the stylists should have made it less obvious. Since my former husband is 46 I don’t mind the age gap at all but Pao who’s a cutie plays it a bit too young perhaps. One more thing: who the hell is so happy AFTER getting a blow job?

He’s so good as Jimmy in Heart Killers. And like so many Thai actors looks 10 years younger than his actual age.

This is so me in high school. West Hollywood High. My crush was Justin Bieber 3 grades above me. Unrequited love. I didn’t know that all the actual gay boys had crushes on me because I was after the one I couldn’t get. Very high school. And very West Hollywood.

Get yourself a VPN and you can watch it on YouTube using a country that doesn’t carry Viki. Or if zviki or IQIYI or WeTV are geo blocked.

Wish Cuba would do BL. Live to see this hunk in one of those.

I love that tradition. You know why I’m sure. Because traditionally people in Thailand didn’t use first names but were called sort of what they did. Which became nicknames. I believe you can change your nickname at will because you don’t use it on official papers. Correct me please if I’m wrong.

I guess this nail thing is a thing there? I’m a model and I’ve never heard of this before. I think I’d get fired if I showed up with nails like that.

We’ve barely seen Baarbin this far.

Okay. I can only compare to the other school series I’ve watched. But surely few Thai students drive BMWs? I drove a 1965 Jag I bought for $1000 in high school. Sounds a lot better than reality.

After eps 3 I feel I know so much more about Thai student life than from any of the seemingly hundreds of college series I’ve watched this far. These kids live in apartment or rooms that resemble my own at that age. They take the train and not a beemer to school. This is done very cinema vérité style. As for the plot, what there is of one, seems authentic as well. I’m fascinated with the German-Thai boy. Would you not stand out and be considered a foreigner looking like him? Could I learn Thai and appear in a series. That should be fun.

I was about the write that episode 2 despite the colorful view of real Bangkok was like watching paint dry but then that scene came up. And everything made sense. I’m 25, so older than these guys play, but this is exactly what my high school years at West Hollywood High were like despite the cultural differences between Bangkok and Los Angeles.

Lol

It is actually "shame." I’m part Danish and Danish and Norwegian are brother languages. For "that’s a shame" you would say "det er en skam."

Very true

But it’s still Western, which means Coming Out and society’s reaction to Coming Out. I’ve never had to come out so this has no reflection on my life. The great thing about Thai BL is that they MOSTLY exist in a parallel universe where nobody finds male-male relationships problematic. They’re like any Western series whether crime or comedy or romance or even sci-fi just with male-male relationships instead of female-male and that, to me, is the reason I love them. I did watch Skam when it came out and found it like my childhood’s After School Specials: dead tedious. Skam in Norwegian btw means Shame which tells you all you need to know. I’ve never been ashamed. One little inside thingy: the guy who plays the crown prince in Young Royals once hit on me. That was kinda fun, and had it only been Omar I’d have gone for it.

Right? And I usually fast forward thru the devastating near-death from a bit of rain that necessitate a full body wash.

What I really like about this opener is not the plot, or lack thereof, but a virtual sightseeing tour of the real Bangkok. Usually in BLs you see fab homes and more or less empty freeways - and I’m from Los Angeles and never experienced an empty freeway in my life - but here you can almost smell the sidewalk food stands and whatever pollution there is in a big city. And we finally get on that elevated train we always see in establishing shots. Great fun.

Where are you from? I mean Aryan? Really? And you make fun of Thai nicknames? Watch Korean instead. I assume you’ll be able to remember Kim and Lee?
