So Thailand went with MFlow and OatBoat? Rut/heat scenes will be fire! I need to see how the emotional stuff will…
I have just looked they were in "My Stubborn" - I would never watch a BL like this. In any case, Thai production can reduced everything to just sex, having script that are really low quality. So let's see. There have been really good Thai BL lately so maybe one of this companies will take the challenge.
Last live - this YouTuber has most of the last live with subs. at 1:20 there is a clip I did not see and it is them saying they are separated. You can see their sad faces. Xu said: He (Jin) went home and I am staying with the acting crew. It cannot be help, I have to work" (most of this translations are actually AI generated, so they never read that well) https://youtu.be/vna9h3gwXKY?si=ssZgy6hVINaBOVrC And for friends who were not quite sure about the "french kissing" in ep 6 Here the evidence: a detailed zoom vid 😅(I got it first time around - I have "eagle eyes" for "relevant" details 😂) https://x.com/soulpotaetoe/status/1974718928317460709
"What am I to you, the ruler of a fallen kingdom, or your male pet?"我算什麽？亡國舊主，還是你的男寵。Let's…
Many thanks for bringing this reflection and the wider interpretation from the Chinese language and historical context. Very linked to your points is this phrase from ShuHe in ep 8: "The South Hui Kingdom cannot satisfy your ambitions so you would fill it with my heart and flesh" . SH was not a platonic love, he was a lover in all its meaning, he make himself available and vulnerable to DZA in ep 6 and, as his brother pointed out ,"you (SH) slept with him", with the enemy, for three months. I cannot stop linked this to the post-colonial feminist literature where it is explained how colonial and sexual domination intertwine. In captivity, in the extreme situation of conquest, the phrase "nán chōng" becomes even more relevant.
Re-watching - Episode 9 - All lost...again....5 years of longing ShuHe - Our 6th Prince has only 24 years old when he lost his world again. He learnt to love with his soul and body, but his lover did not understand him and in the end felt like a betrayal. He lost his father who was starting to accept him, he lost his brother that hated SH but represented the future of the South Kingdom. His absence would fulfill SH darkest prophecy: he became the King. He was not good at it and it transpired that people were not happy. During the nights, he long for his lost lover, he though of him all the time...his only love that became his enemy. DuanZiAng- If SH lost everything, DZA lost even more, he lost the only "home" he ever had. He did not have a palace, a life of arts, a good doctor friend, a brother, a father, a country. DZA has been uprooted since his mother gave it to the Duan family and was "recovered" to the North Kingdom, not to become a son, but to become an assassin. SH became everything to him, his only love, his family, his capacity of dreaming again. All shattered in the night in the bridge. 5 years DZA long for SH. He missed him so much that his memories were like fire in his loins, a stabbing in his heart, every year weaker. DZA wanted a reward after so much suffering, He fought his way through the central plains, pacified the region, became the emperor, people welcomed him. He stopped at the South borders and wanted to form an aliance to reestablished "trade" he wrote, of course reestablished his liaison with SH too. SH rejected him plainly. He went as far as returning the dagger that were representing his feeling for SH. Nothing could drove him more to edge than this. He pressed on and conquered the South who welcomed him at the gates, but his lover preferred death than surrender. The rejection in the carriage, the rejection of the house and all the details that so lovingly and obsessively he cared for in preparation for the day SH would join him, all for nothing. From that suffering came the phrases we will never forget: "You love the one who hates you, and hate the one who loves you" to which SH wisely respond: Are you not both?
Episode 15 - It proved that having a balance episode between the 2 CPs is a winning for the audience and not a detriment. We were all winners in ep 15. Nong lady, the author, director, CEO etc etc wanted to be in control of everything. For all of us who read the novel she wanted to follow to the comma, but wait a second, she is not a Pulitzer prize, so what on earth did not co share the creative process and allow more feedback from the experts. Why being so precious. He hired 4 main actors and sell the audience that there is going to be 2CPs, which is totally against the narrative of the novel. For all of us who love our Enigma character and his Alpha very well but it is obviously that there is a 2CP sydrome in da house why not to exploit it. That scene of SWL caring for GT in the bathroom was lovely. They spend how many? 13? at least episodes of SWL being a total a.. not proper decent interactions with GT, not decent dialogues why? Why not create a bit of a romance from the beginning something more equal I would have support that one totally. Anyway, at least a good all round episode is all I wanted to say in the end 😊
Do they get pay extra for these music events?? Do their agency arrange all these programs?? Or their payment is…
The length of the contract has not been disclosed. This is something that the fans made up. We don't know the clauses. It could be was only during the airing of ABO. 25% is the international rates for agency, but the Nong sister said the house was part of the payment? I think they said in a live. So I'm not sure. More likely they are responsible for the bills as any tenant would be
Astonishing the conditons in which they filmed and delivered this beautiful BL. In the production team recent podcast it was said that there was a money dispute with one member of the crew who obstruct filming. the police intervened and they continue with less people and closed doors. The electricity was cut three times and they had to finish filming hurdling together in one corner with few spot lights. In this way, they delivered some last scenes, including SH going to visit a very ill DZA. The photo of Jin being craddled by Xu comes from this moment. this series is a pure labor of love. More reason to admire them https://x.com/naayizhan/status/1974043154233110642
