I'm sorry, I know it can also be called LGBTQ+ if you prefer it, but why wouldn't it be called a BL when it's literally about two men falling in love? And only because it's Japanese? What does nationality even have to do with it?
Also, I assume you've watched the movie/read the manga, so I'm quite confused about your comment. Of course not everything with two male leads is BL, that's absurd, as far as I know there're a lot more straight dramas/movies with two male leads than BLs, but in this particular case the story is about two men falling in love with each other, so I don't think I'm wrong when I address it as a BL.

The tension was so high I couldn't breathe during the whole movie!
Keita and Ryoma were amazing, I still can't believe we got this bl movie with such great actors, what a feast for the senses!

I don't really care about the 70 year-old dating the 20 year-old, I just consider it as if the grandpa had restarted his life at 20 or something, but what I'm really upset about is that, even though Zefang is the central character in the drama, we get to know so little about him. Yes, we know he was not the best person ever, but we also don't get a real chance at seeing who he really is and how he feels and why he is the way he is. And for me the saddest thing is that nobody except the grandpa and Riqing are upset that he's dead. I'd say Haiyuan is even glad, his "Yeah, your grandson is dead, but anyways let's kiss" attitude made me feel put off by him, like I understand you love the grandpa, but at least understand that if he lives means that he's also lost someone important to him and it's not easy for him to accept that his new life might mean his grandson is unable to come back.
I don't know, the plot is interesting, but I don't know if I feel happy or sad about the ending.

So real! I thought the drama was going to be about the grandpa being in his grandson's body while also being able to somehow comunicate with him or something, or just them kind of going on and off about the body swap, but this? I don't know, I loved the grandpa to bits, he was the best character for me, but I really don't like that Zefang was sacrificed like this.

I agree with everything you've said. There was a sort of intimacy and a way of feeling things that is quite rare in thai bls and I loved it!

I also thought that Armin resembled Gulf a bit. xD

Please, let me know if you find out. xD

One of the best series I've watched, it's got everything! And the chemistry is chemistrying so much, it's amazing. The way they look at each other and the way they kiss feels so special and beautiful...
What a gem of a series, honestly, I wish more bls had this kind of quality.

The show was cute and ok, but I needed more of the gumiho! He is such an interesting character and I feel like we got less than half of what he could have been.

I also thought he looked similar to Lee Dong Wook. xD

Khemjira will go down in history as one of the bls that show Thainess the best, with all the attention to detail when it came to the sets, the spells, the diferent dialects, the respect for what's holy for their society, their deities, their way of viewing life... Everything about it was beautiful.
The actors did great and I couldn't be happier that P'Aof directed it.
And the OST is amazing, I'm obsessed with Keng's song especially, and all of them are perfect for the story.

I was confused when I saw all the negative reviews about the last NC, because to me it had come across as one of the most beautiful ones I've ever watched. It was tender, full of love and respect, but also spicey when it had to. The way Peem made sure Khem was ready for it and the way they both communicated without words throughout the whole scene was beautiful to watch. Their eyes spoke of the love they have for each other and I thought they both did great.

What a great love story, even though it didn't end the way I hoped it would. A beautiful movie, really worth a watch.

I've watched both dramas and I've liked both, but for me AIB is way better than SG, and my reasoning is that Arisu made me root for him all the time whereas, even though I didn't dislike Gihun, I felt more conexion to some other characters, so having them all killed put me off quite a bit (even though I knew how it would end since the beginning). In other words, in AIB I kept rooting for Arisu, Usagi, Chishiya, Kuina, etc, because there was hope that all of them could get out, but in SG it was kind of a given that only one would make it and the ML had all the numbers to be the winner, so I didn't feel as invested in the characters as I would have liked.
Also, when it comes to the games, yes, the ones in SG are easy to follow and visually memorable, but I prefer games that are more complex and that make us think about the ways they could go. Also having some highly intelligent characters made it even better.
All in all, both dramas are highly entertaining and I would recommend to watch both, but at the same time, if I had to choose, for me the best one is AIB, the storyline keeps you wondering what'll happen next and what even is the Borderland they're in.

Those were my exact same thoughts!
I could have understood if the doctors were against him working at the hospital out of fear for his life, since he could get any disease running around the hospital and not know it until it caused evident symptoms, but just because he didn't feel pain? I don't get the logic.
Yeah, ok, the main reason for firing him was because how can he be a doctor in the pain unit if he doesn't feel any pain? Well, I don't know, call me crazy, but my wild guess is that he has studied medicine and he knows how to identify illnesses and their symptoms, that's why he's a licensed doctor. xD
I guess the writers didn't want to go too deep into this and used a simple approach, but to me it would have been more believable and it would have created more drama if the hospital wanted to fire him because of the possibility that he could get ill at any time and they didn't want to deal with a sick doctor.

Junseo has clearly been played with by Mnet. The show used him to gain attention: that clip of Kany fangirling to him was casually all over the internet in a couple of hours and I don't think it wasn't in a way planned, and he also got a normal amount of screentime during the first couple of episodes. Then in came the evil editing, making him basically disappear from the show and only showing him to make him look bad. The drama that came out of the "Bad" performance wasn't even that bad, he simply expressed what he thought his team needed and it all ended in a miscomunication with Deonggyu because Deonggyu didn't speak with Junseo about how he felt about the situation. Even Masato, who was at the center of the drama too, supported Junseo until the end, saying he wanted Junseo to debut. Let's not forget how during the first mission Masato was a candidate for the No Star and Junseo took care of him and made sure he was ready for the performance, so I don't think that Junseo telling Masato that he would lose his stars was him being a bad leader and making Masato feel bad, I think he was just trying to show him he was in the same position as last time and that he had to step up like he did back then if he wanted to mantain his ranking. But Mnet blew everything out of proportion and a lot of people bought their narrative.
I mean, Suren even admitted of having his and Junseo's scenes being edited out and was sad about it because they had very deep and interesting conversations. I also fear that some of the trainees could also have favoured other friendships instead of Junseo because, let's be real, this is a competition and nobody wants to have their screentime being reduced if they know the show tries to edit out some people.
I guess Mnet wasn't interested in having another BL actor in their debuted group, because I can't find any other reason they wanted Junseo out, since he was one of the most mature and well-prepared trainees they had in the show.

It's kind of crazy how some people consider his frame to be big when he's leaner than most guys his age. Yeah, maybe he gained weight compared with before, but let's keep in mind that most idols are kept underweight, so him having a healthy and normal weight while having a well-built body shouldn't even have to be commented on.

I agree so much with what you say about him being in the gray area, because although I feel like he can't be all that bad if all the others keep praising him and he also seems to have a normal and fun relationship with the rest, I can't help but keep being bothered by how much MNET was pushing him to debut, so I also don't know how much of what we've heard and seen of him is really the truth or just edited in a way that makes him look good. For me, the fact that he deleted the apology letter is a bit alarming, because even if later on it was proved he was innocent I don't think the letter would make him any disservice, it would just show that he wanted to be considerate with the other trainees, so why would he delete an apology letter like it never existed in the first place when it wasn't even really proved the accusations were false?
I guess we'll have to see how he does in the group, and I really hope the allegations are false and nothing new comes out, because the rest of the boys don't deserve to go down like this.

Thank you so much for this link! I was a bit sad after reading many people's comments saying that Youngwoo acted as if he had never been in this drama, but now that I see that he's said he's proud of his debut it makes me feel happy, because he realy should be, not a lot of actors can say they were as good their first time acting as Youngwoo was here,

I wasn't expecting a happy ending nor for half of the players to survive or something, I even kind of guessed what would happen with Gihun at the end, but for the life of me that I can't understand why they would make the whole "Junho searching for the island" a thing if nothing was going to come out of it. It's like the screenwritters needed more characters in order to fill the 60 min episodes and just went with him and his side of the story.
The actors did justice to their characters, but the script wasn't on par with them nor with season 1.
