Anyone else notice there's not a single woman in this entire show, eps 1 to 7? Not even an extra. Not even an allusion to woman. Even the "female" bartender is really a man in drag. Dang, how do people procreate in the Kinn/Porsche land?
Just read Bible's bio. The guy majored in Mechanical Engineering which is as hard as freaking astrophysics. He's unbelievably smart. He speaks English and Thai both (and mixes them in an adorable way I call "T'english"), as well as a bit of German. I love everything about him, even how he's so slender bodied and sleek. More of him please!

He's slender, small and lithe. Very elegant. I also love how he dresses his character in those velvet shirts that give Vegas more of a sleek and dangerous look.
And let's talk about wicked smart that man is in real life. Even in the show you can sense it. He's always flipping back and forth to English and Thai. It's his mixed brand of Tenglish.
Love ya Maggi, but the VegasPete "story" isn't up on the screen yet. There needs to be a separate BL NOVEL web…
I know language matters, which is why I am critical of some translations and note when others work. This girl doing My Beautiful Man is impressive. Of course, that is a smart show to begin with. It attracts a very different fanbase that K/P.
I saw it on Viki, which alas, is the channel that does not pay its translators despite charging us. It's really kind of gross. I don't know why more don't complain. I have sent them a message about it. It's not cool.

Translations on wattpad are, granted, awful. Translating is an art. But they are fans doing it for free and this shit is all fluff anyway. I really just dig the idea of a rapist turning on his masochist lover. No American would touch that plot . But the idea of an evil dude being fascinating is up my alley.
Otherwise, yes, with bad translations you have to do the work of filling in gaps. I will give it to some translators though. For instance, there is a Japanese woman translating My Beautiful Man and doing a wonderful job. There is flowing prose, nice word choice, full meaning and really, just a quality translation.
The thing about translating is that it is an art. At Columbia, we even had a whole major for translation. It was its own Masters Program. It was a kickass discipline too. I never knew people translated for free till the Internet's Wattpad. The internet has changed everything.
Christ, this guy is smart. I am an Ivy Leaguer, and I don't speak the languages he does. I am so impressed by him. Everything I read indicates a fine, sharp mind. I love him as Vegas too. I want more of him!
I really want to read vegaspete's story where i can find this novel
I just read it but it ends at frustrating part where Pete escapes and Vegas is sorry and suffering. I need more cuz really, this story ended up being more compelling than Kinn Porsche. Vegas is, like all bad dudes, deeply pained and complex. I really wanted to see what made him tick. It also makes sense for him to fall for a nice, decent man like Pete. The whole thing is believable. But can't end with Pete leaving him like that!
Mimi, give us more!
PS, Mimi knows everything about this book.. She's amazing.
Anyone know if the guy playing Vegas lived in America? He's got an American accent, not a British one. It's impressive to learn a foreign language as he has when even the alphabet is different. I am sensing he's a smart man. Anyone know his background?
just one question how did you know about how things will goes between pete and vegas i mean in the serie i still…
Yes, and the novel handles it well. I think that the way the did it is justified characterization. To be clear, nobody has to apologize for thinking a topic is interesting. We also watch murder trials and murder mysteries and even are fascinated with serial killers. It does not mean we condone any of this. Fascination does not = acceptance.
See, this is where people get confused -- why are you jumping to the conclusion that we are into SA. VegasPete…
See my reply above. It's verboten as a topic period. You guys would be slammed by SJW's even if you liked Vegas's character growth. I don't think you all realize how bad the censorship is. I allow the convo. I think it's ok to discuss violence, as a way of understanding it.
You know, when I was a kid there was a soap opera where the guy raped the woman (Luke and Laura) and they became the #1 hit show of all time. Women liked it. Of course, the guy was gentle and was in love with her. So yes, there is that. But again, this convo is not even allowed these days. Even the show, as you said, cut it out from the series. Right? And that's Thailand, which is not as badly censored as the West. Imagine the censorship here.
No one here is saying that rape is sexy or is fascinated by it. What they are annoyed about is that the SA that…
But I think rape is a fascinating topic. It's not attractive, but it should not be shunned as a topic either. People need to discuss things to understand them. So I am ok with the discussion.
Moreover, the SJW's would call even Vegas' character growth an apologia. See? They do not allow the convo to happen at all. It's just verboten.
Since ep 7 is not up yet, I want to skirt back to yesterday's convo on Vegas and Pete. I don't want to shame anyone for being fascinated with rape but it is odd cuz the BL demographic is the same as the SJW demographic (ie under 30 and college educated, and votes Democrat). Do you guys keep it a secret that you are into the Vegas Pete rape? How would you respond to the other SJW's who want to shame you over it? I think it's a great question and would love to hear from you.
Mimi , I got the Vegas Pete part of the book but it stopped right before Vegas falls for Vegas (which was itself too abrupt). Anyone have full Pete/Vegas sex?
