Oat is too good for this series. Sorry, not sorry. The editor is on drugs. The writer tries hard to make sense of Sorn's senseless behavior. It's not working. Thankfully, we don't have to endure his stupidity any longer. I'm a bit tired. But Oat outacted himself in this episode. Jun's character development was done well. I just can't get over Sorn's stupidity. It drags the plot down. And did I mention the editing/writing? We jump from one scene to another. And those high resolution shots of their faces. Kudos to the make-up team, but well ... tone it down a bit.
yeaah, i agree. for thai bl series is very rare that all the cast, or most of it is actually good at acting ,…
There are many good actors in Thai BLs. Nanon for example (yes, he once did BL). Great actor. Off and Gun both showed what they are capable of. Tay and New were great in Peaceful Property, together with their female co-stars. This was a high quality series I didn't even know GMMTV was capable of creating. Incredible storytelling. Krist is good. Frist is a good actor, Khaotung is sometimes too dramatic, but he is good nonetheless. War is also a good actor, Oat in My Stubborn is talented. I could go on and on and on. The issue is not the acting, it almost never was. The issue is the writing. And this will not change, since BL is mostly fanservice. There are always the same stories, the same dynamics, and the same tropes, because it sells. So if you want to blame someone: blame the audience. And let me tell you, I know what I'm talking about. I make a living with novel writing for ten years. There are certain stories that sell, others don't. You can't force it. And those great stories you want to see and experience, will most likely not sell that well. I still think to this day Be My Favorite was one of the most cleverly written BL series I have ever seen with incredible character development and an interesting plot - it's not a hit series. People didn't watch. Talking about pairing the same couple: I'm not a crazy shipper who can't stand seeing actors with different co-stars. But I'm also someone who enjoys certain couples and their chemistry, for example TayNew and recently BenzGarfield. Give me more of them! Especially, since nobody knows how long they will be in the BL business. For example, I never thought we would get another TayNew series. The actors are getting older, new boys are entering the business, because young girls want to watch their high school series, less projects are offered to older actors. So I don't see why they should break up a good couple, if people enjoy watching them together. It's not that serious at the end of the day. It's business. Don't enjoy, don't watch. I'm not saying this, because I don't want you to rant about it. But not watching and not engaging in the content, is the only power you have as a viewer to show them they are doing something wrong. So again, blame those silly girls screaming at those good-looking boys when they perform on those fan meetings. Those girls don't care about storytelling or plot development. Last but not least: If you wanted to complain specifically about PitBabe: What are those actors supposed to do with the material they got? Those characters feel fake, the relationships creep me out. I'm just watching because I have a soft spot for Benz and Garfield. This script is horrible.
I rewatched this series for Methas and JJ. I LOVE THIS COUPLE. I love BenzGarfield. Their dynamic is so fun and unique. They make Methas (Benz) the top (and I'm not necessarily talking about sexual positions). He is dominant, cheeky, but also a ball of sunshine, so much fun, soooo into JJ. It's beautiful to watch. JJ on the other hand is rather reserved, almost shy in their intimate interactions, he obviously plays hard to get. We get some surprise kisses between them, initiated by Methas of course, and JJ behaves like a shy virgin. At this point, someone could have thought, they won't give us good kisses. But then comes that love scene at the end, and I can't stop smiling. They are soooo natural, like they are used to kiss each other. Methas is sooo into it, and JJ is just holding back, let's be honest. The guy is not bottom material. Garfield radiates calmness and strength, he isn't as cheeky and bubbly as Benz. That's why their dynamic is so unique. This is such a beautiful combination. They are a match made in heaven. Obviously, the actors like each other a lot, which makes this hundred million times better. I'm in love.
I do agree, I am liking this story a lot, simple, but well executed, good acting, and JungWoo is...... too much…
Both of their friends would have been a better choice. Both are a bit shorter than the 1st male lead, since gymnasts aren't that tall. Both have a better posture and a good body. Both radiate enough confidence. But they went for the cute/clumsy/shy trope. Wasted potential. I sound bitter, sorry.
Cute story, typical Korean style, which means beautiful filming and good acting. I have butterflies watching it, and it really feels like Semantic Error: similar characters, similar personalities, similar development of the story. But like many others already said: the 2nd lead is not believable as a gymnast, not regarding his body, not regarding his personality. This character feels so made up in a sense that you wouldn't find him in real life. Doing competitive sports is hard on your body and mind. Han Ji Won comes across as your typical shy and cute guy who doesn't go much outside and never meets many people, a manga reader rather than an Olympic gold medalist. Everything about his body, the way he moves, how he runs, how he stands - it's not convincing. Same with his personality. They try to tell us how competitive he is, but we don't see it. Since we are watching a cute BL, let's not be too critical, but I wished they had casted someone else. There was this scene where he had to cool his leg, because apparently he was showing his skills earlier on some kind of event (I went back several times since I thought I missed a scene). But they just skipped it, because obviously he is not athletic. Out of topic: I still think about Dark Blue Kiss, where they opened up the series with Tay in his swim wear diving into the pool, and it looked soooo bad. Then the scene at the end, where he is already in the pool and New is diving in very randomly. His character was portrayed as clumsy and shy, but I‘m still laughing to this day because his dive was perfect. New was a swimmer. Just saying couldn't they find someone who has a tiny amount of experience in gymnastics? Or some other sport? Someone who has some muscle, good body control and a good posture? Since this is based on a manhwa, it really feels like the author just went for the cool/handsome and shy/cute trope without giving it much thought, if those characters are believable.
A man kissing a woman. You hardly find any women in BL, you sure like hell never see them kissing the main guy. Even in a series like Be My Favorite which basically was a love triangle, and the guy even married the woman in an alternative timeline - they never kissed.
I have never seen a hetero kiss in a BL before. Even in a rather explicit series like My Stubborn they make sure the main leads only kiss each other and no one else. It's like an unspoken rule nobody every dared to break.
I don't know why I keep watching this every week. Sorn keeps pissing me off more and more, now it's more than…
Lately, It got worse. I was praising this series, but come on! Sorn's logic makes no sense. He doesn't want to date a younger guy. But as long as nobody knows, it's fine. He just wants to hide it. If he hadn't done anything to Jun, because he is cautious, or if he avoids Jun, the logic would make sense since he doesn't want to be found in the same situation. Btw: He didn't avoid Mail either! He was kissing her. Jun just has to tell everyone what Sorn did. Like ... what are you complaining about when you can't keep it in your pants? And the whole "Jun is a kid", when Sorn is so childish and jealous. Apparently, they are only around 6 years apart or something. Jun is no minor either. "Sorn only cared about what he wanted in the end" - that's a thing too. From the very beginning, he was very tender and making sure Jun feels good. That's also the reason I forgave him a lot. He was madly in love with Jun, and despite some manipulative words, he was very caring in bed. Lately, it's just all about him getting off. It's honestly not nice to watch anymore. It makes me feel uneasy.
Why are you bothered? If this is not softporn, I don't know what is.
People are whining about everything here. That's MDL for you. I find both sides amusing: the ones who are thirsty af, and the ones who apparently don't like seeing sex scenes, which makes me wonder how they handle that stuff in real life.
It says for violence and profanity. I hope it doesn't turn into one of those violent bullying series.
I don't think they would rate it 18+ just for bullying. This rating indicates there is either graphic violence (I don't think they have the budget for that) or sexual scenes (I don't think Korea is going that far).
I started watching this and was pleasantly surprised since the beginning was unique and interesting. A stoic apparently rather cold blooded girl finds her dead uncle. Then the puzzle pieces. A serial killer. A police officer who suspects her of the murder. I was sold! Then she returns as this quirky strange genius profiler *yawn* Still, I had hopes. I almost dropped it, because I thought her character was unbearable to watch. I didn't understand her personality. People say, she had autism. Everyone who behaves strangely has autism nowadays. It just made no sense, if she had a trauma or not, or if she was just naturally quirky and annoying, but it was not fun to watch. Then the guy started trusting her and working with her. At the same time, I started to like her more. So I was in for the ride again! But then the next disappointment: the whole case is about corruption. Yeah. How unique! Is there any damn thriller/crime kdrama that is NOT about corruption? It's also always the same type of corruption: some big redevelopment projects start, politicians and police officers are involved. It's every f*cking time the same! *yawn* Looking back, I felt that none of those characters had a personality that was in any way relatable. And that has nothing to do with the quirkiness, but with the writing. Who even were those people? No idea. They didn't make me care for them for a second.
I'm a bit tired.
