I read it months ago, but if my memory is right, she was convicted for attempted murder for putting the shellfish into Bell's food after knowing she was allergic to it. I have a feeling there might have been something else as well, but I can't remember exactly.

I heard he was a Storm Trooper in a previous life.

Yeah - those "action" scenes were basically parodies of an action scene.

This turned out to be quite enjoyable drama for me. Like most dramas, it started better than it ended, but some of the middle episodes were really quite good. I thought the acting was also better than we often get in Thai GLs, especially from Ice who was exceptional.
I want to give a special shout-out to quite possibly the worst hitman in the history of television. He apparently was trained at the Imperial Storm Troopers school of very inaccurate shooting and it also seemed like he was contractually obligated to only walk when he was chasing his target. Whoever directed that "action" scene at the start of the final episode needs a good spanking.

I learned that lesson after watching "Blank" week by week. Now I always wait for a drama to (almost) finish before starting it so I can binge it. And of course I agree with your assessment of the quality of this drama. It is a masterpiece in my opinion.

There are lots of Thai GLs that are worth watching, but you need to be aware that this is easily the best GL produced to date. So don't watch the others thinking they will be of this standard, otherwise you'll be disappointed. But again, plenty of other GLs are entertaining and worth a watch, even if they aren't the masterpiece that "ClaireBell" is.

You wrote, "If you’re a man, why are you even watching GL? It’s for women, not for you, you’re not welcome here."

It is incredibly entitled of you to think you have the right to tell other people what they are allowed to watch. Its even more entitled of you to think you have the right to tell people that "they are not welcome" on a PUBLIC forum. Other people have as much right to be here as you do, and that includes people you disagree with.

Shouldn't you want a society in which diversity of sexuality and identity are respected by everyone? If so, achieving such a society isn't helped by telling people who aren't part of your in-group that they are not welcome. That attitude offends me and does nothing other than reinforce division.

GL is for women?
BL is for men?
Marvel movies are for super heroes?
War movies are for soldiers?
Science fiction movies are for aliens?
Am I doing this right?

I've only watched the first episode, and already I can see that this drama is head and shoulders above any other Thai GL to date, in terms of production and acting. I hope it finds its way onto one of the big streaming platforms in the future so more people can enjoy it, because it is easily good enough.
Edit: 5 episodes watched now and its only got better.

I don't think the brother's reaction is valid at all. Firstly, assault is a crime, and resorting to violence to express opinions is thuggish and immature. Secondly, it is none of the brother's fucking business who she dates. He doesn't own her. If he respected his sister at all, he wouldn't try to control her. It's bad enough when parents try to control their ADULT children's lives, but its even worse when a sibling feels so entitled that they think they can do likewise.

Your loss.

Thanks.

How do you know what loss they are running at?

I hope I'm wrong, but I suspect it might be the best GL in the half decade between 2025 and 2030.

I WAS "really honest", but you are entitled to YOUR opinion.

You really should click the spoiler box for that comment.

Jane hates Lin because she ghosted her for 8 years.
Lin recently caught her fiancée cheating, broke up with her and returned to Thailand in an emotional state.
20 minutes into episode 1 and Jane and Lin are sucking each other's face.
No romantic build up. No explanation from Lin, let alone anything resembling a redemption arc for her. No … nothing. Just BAM! and they're in love for some reason.
It's just silly, and I don't think this drama is for me. Dropping after one episode.

Because … eye-candy = more views = more money.

Thanks

Can I ask, how did this compare to the novel? I've read a lot of Thai GL novels, but not this one, so I'm asking before I spend money to buy it. I'm curious to know how the story and characters from the novel compare to the drama. In the drama, I'm finding Queen beyond obnoxious and quite frankly abusive in her (mis)treatment of Babe. And Babe's sudden attraction for Queen looks like textbook Stockholm Syndrome to me. Is the drama accurately reflecting the novel, or does the novel have nuance that the drama lacks?
