highschoolers and bdsm?! which pedo wrote this script
To be fair, high schoolers are not children for years by that point, so they have fun on their own and with each other just fine. They are not waiting until they grow a beer belly at the age of fifty to have sex and BDSM just because prudish Western viewers like us might think that would be the only appropriate time to start going raunchy.
To be fair, no children were filmed in the series in any role of note, so not sure what the paedophile thing should be about. Nothing bad about short shorts, especially for Thailand with extremely humid and warm climate.
That said, the show may have other issues like you have outlined, it was not an award-winning production of the year or something for sure.
In a series that is not excellent all around the only criteria if one might want to watch it is the lads. If you do like them, watch the show, if you do not, do not watch it. The series will not profoundly affect you with its depth of scenerio and directing.
the way people where acting in the comments and review I really thought this was the hottest garbage on earth…
People say one of the main lads is afraid of intimacy and makes weird faces whenever the other lad gets close to him. If so, then the physics, biology, chemistry is lacking, right?
I only checked this out because today is Peak's (Fuse from make it right) b'day so he is on the front page, and…
Peak is cute and actually clear minded, rational and smart, if you listen to his interviews. So I wonder what has happened. My guess the issue he was not a scriptwriter in this, a senior chap was, who also usually does directing.
Zee and Saint (Fighter+Tutor) in Why R U were great together and I enjoyed the acting and chemistry. Zee was so…
In terms of the art of singing, I am not a competent judge of that, either, though I can hear that Satur sounds great. And I did not listen enough of Billikin to have an opinion about his performance skills, so I can only mention the voice timbre.
Apparently, my aesthetics preferences are so loose that I like any skin colour and all three mainline races. Though I generally do prefer cuter types, not muscular hulks, which is a funny preference to have for someone of my size and type (makes no sense, TBH, LOL).
And I also have watched older Korean media pre circa 2010 where celebrities still mostly had their natural skin colour before turning porcelain white after. It is the best seen on old K-Pop bands like Super Junior both in their music videos and TV shows they have participated in. I like the looks either way, but it would be too bad if everybody would go white.
But I do like it how in the series like ABO Desire actors wear full make up and look white due to post production filters and such. It is a fantasy world, so why not. And Huang Xing looks divine there, an unreal being, a true enigma. Maybe the best use of make up of the year or even decade. Not that I understand much in make up (never use it myself).
I have watched videos of Xing from years ago with no whitening filters or makeup, and his tanned looks is still breathtaking.
But I agree for better contrast and the artistic purpose white skin looks great. I am used to this via manga and anime, and we even know one other famous character of the past who has looked like that: MJ, even though the paleness was due to vitiligo, the sharp pointy nose was designed to follow Micky Mouse (MJ was fanatical Disney adept since early childhood) or manga drawings, he was looking like an alien part unintentionally and part by his own design (that might have gone overboard at times).
Myself is pretty weird because my covered body parts are super pale, but due to a portion of southern blood in my mix the parts that are open get tanned more than usual, including the face (maybe it can be seen in my avatar, I am not sure because for some reason avatars mostly fail to load for me), even without me getting under sun.
Meanwhile, I just watched my first BL sitcom, called YYY (2020) — with background laughter and everything. It is rarely ever possible to make me laugh at “comedies”, even making me smile is not easy, so I am not a good indicator of things that are funny or unfunny. But I thought it was unusual enough to watch at least once, and the series had cute lads. I am not recommending to watch it for anything else other than the lads, though. Did you ever watch a BL comedy?
The second story (episodes 3-4) in reality would have been the shortest: you are pursued by a cute rich lad, and you immediately say “yes” to this; end of story.
To be clear, all actors knew from the very beginning that there will be nude scenes, and have consciously agreed to it. They are adults with full agency, so we do not need to infantilize them in this regard, it was their choice. And there is nothing wrong with the nudity during filming, if all parties are signed on this.
It is surely possible to say “but they might have not liked it”, but it is does not count in work you signed up to. For example, literally nobody likes to do hard manual labour, but this is the job.
It is understandable that some viewers might not like it, but it is not an objective reason to dislike either the series or the studio. (It would have been a totally different story if the practice was not agreed upon or the lads were trafficked and forced to do this, but here it is not the case at all.)
However, discussing acting, scenario and direction is an all around valid subject, and many people have issues with those aspects in this series.
NEVER let your children to participate in any sport or activity where they can be hit in the head.It leads to…
In a real life version, Chap’s character would not refuse seeing the other lad’s goodies. Also, what kind of weird illness the lad caught that produces pimples and itching? Looks like a STD, not anything regular, LOL. EDIT: it was chickenpox, but why?
Do not punish anyone with writing “profound” quotes too many times. Not only it will make the person to hate the message and the punisher, but it might lead to inflammation of the wrist and the onset of the tunnel syndrome. Make the guilty person do only a limited number of the quote writing tries, and then switch the punishment to something different and helpful.
Of course, there is no need to be boyfriends to have fun.
Max is playing a violent dislikesble psychopath, alas. Never be in a relationship with a person who has hit you. Well, Nat is playing a sexual harasser, but he is smaller, so it is not intimidating or even potentially dangerous.
The second story (episodes 3-4) in reality would have been the shortest: you are pursued by a cute rich lad, and you immediately say “yes” to this; end of story.
Rich people do not have days when all of their bodyguard are off duty.
Episodes 11-12 story is sad because the lad has lost seven years of life, not because of bad friend and one night stands or something. I also did not catch the reason why the main couple speaks in English half of the time all of a sudden.
I also thought the explanation about why one the lads has decide to date a third lad would be that he is also a bottom, so both being bottoms would not work too good, LOL.
WHAT? The lad went suicidal to get into a car accident?
Homeless beggars in Bangkok do not have to be dirty as there are free showers available for them from humanitarian institutions.
Scientifically, there is no such thing as fate, so if time travel was possible, then the episodes 14-14’t lad’s love interest could have been saved with no issue. But it is pure fantasy because time travel will never be possible no matter what: there are no physical principles that would allow that.
The same issue as with many other BLs: we have strongly cute lads that are not having fun with each other just because they are not in love.
NONSENSE; this is not how it works. The desire is incredibly strong, so lads use every possible opportunity to have fun with someone cute. Love or dating are purely optional and only might come later.
So the relationship dynamics between many characters is not believable.
NEVER let your children to participate in any sport or activity where they can be hit in the head.
It leads to irreversible damage and brain degradation to the age of fifty even if they have stopped decades before. Unbearable headaches, early dementia onset, suicidal thoughts etc. All the good things.
Of course, some people avoid that, but it is a pure luck or misfortune probability, and you do not want your children to try it with their own lives.
Have you watched Love Casting on iQiYi? Taiwanese BL casting competition that came out last month.
Are there Thai equivalents of those casting competitions? I remember that there was a casting competition for Thai series TharnType Season 2: 7 Years of Love for a secondary BL couple, and actors First and Ja have won the competition. And they got to play their characters one more time in a series where they already were the main couple: Don’t Say No (2021). But I have never watched the show, only seen some clips of it.
That said, the show may have other issues like you have outlined, it was not an award-winning production of the year or something for sure.

The parents were not wrong.
However, it is too general. The correct nickname should be One Of The Most Beautiful Thais Ever.

This is the most normal and mundane stuff that happens in real life, which is not rainbows and ponies.
The same goes for jerks, lying and toxicity. It all is natural and how things go.
Do we complain that people get killed in the Godfather film? It is much more toxic than anything that any BL series shows.
What it not supposed to happen with the series is a boring script and stiff acting, if those things are there.
