I would say when the girl's shadow shows, the scenes are partially scary and creepy (see opening to get what I mean) but other than that it's mostly like other commenters here said.
You saw how he looked at Wu Bi before he said that his cousin is most handsome? Why even say it? To gauge Wu Bi's…
Yes! The poor grapes... SY was so teasing him then and you could just feel that he knows/suspects WB feelings towards him. At least WB admitted out loud his feelings ("He is mine" + his talk about international turmoil with Duo, which I think SY might have misunderstood a bit as being about YW), something I think is going to take some time for SY 😞
WAIT THIS WAS TAGGED AS BROMANCE??? LIKE SURE HUN JUST TWO BROTHERS BEING SWEET TOGETHER WITH ONE SCREAMING "HE…
And constantly sleeping in the same bed. And napping on his bros but. And wearing matching pajamas. And giving food to their bowls. And making grand gestures to get the other back. And constantly asking if the other one "likes the girl" and being angry thinking that he might and denying vehemently that he is. All normal siblings (or "just friends"*) behaviour. *my mind went to "Just being friendly" by Tillie Birds 🤭
I haven't read this novel but I did her others and sadly I know how it goes 🤮At least no snake checking girls…
You mean the novel with the snake ("Counterattack")? MC1 is poor and dummy (and I think he starts a bit overweight but looses some of that), his GF wants to break up with him mainly due to the poor/shabby looking part, so he uses his dummy skill and starts smacking his head with brick (on multiple occasions - apparently this scull is connected with his heart because after each time he cares for her less). She starts to see his actions as amusing but her end goal is ML1. Why? Money! MC1 finally decides that he needs to take revenge and decides that the best course of action is to seduce ML1 (logic 💯). ML1 likes big buts (of which MC1 is owner of) so you know how it goes (I think there was non-con s*x at the beginning of their relationship as well). After each "bricking" MC1 lands in local clinic owned and operated by MC2 (doctor). They become friends. MC2 is being harassed/stalked by ML2 who is kind of friends with ML1 as well. Both MLs have snakes and they were like "snakes before hoes"... ML1 snake is jealous but accepted MC1 (sometimes it seems like snake has higher IQ than MC1). ML2 has a snake that he uses to check girls virginity 🤯. What is Chai Jidan story without r*pe, thou? Non existing, that is... (just in general her descriptions of even consensual s*x is questionable) In this one we have like the weirdest version, so brace for it. MC2 had BF. BF got tired of him (or was it family pressure to marry or something), so he arranged bunch of guys to assault MC2. MC2 was convinced he got r*ped by them (I remind you that he is doctor, so he should know...) - which was BFs plan. BF then told him that he cannot be with somebody dirty like him (yeah, because victim = dirty 🙄) and broke up with him right after the assault (MC2 wasn't actually r*ped, so at least there is this)! This made MC2 obviously quite traumatized and he was resisting ML2 for a long time (think 100+ or 200+ chapters), but (surprisingly for Chai Jidan) when MC2 and ML2 finally did it it was consensual and MC2 was enjoying it. If you are interested - there is like a movie (or was it 2 part series?) made with low budget. Title: Falling in Love with a Rival.
If you seen "Revenant" then she should close the door, so that "somebody" knocks on it and she opens them 😈
I get a feeling that in this series she would have doubled her body count 😋 (some of them are maybe: WB dad, SY mom, WB cousin, SY "ex", gossipers close to SY house, thugs that attacked WB and SY, guys who beat SY, WB friends from previous school, that "Taiwanese girl"...)
if they do accurately follow the novel, the next scene will be horrendous. i hated you know who that moment, iykyk.…
I haven't read this novel but I did her others and sadly I know how it goes 🤮 At least no snake checking girls virginity in this one (fingers crossed) 🤢
HONESLTY... i just couldn’t really think of anything else to add for my fave thai bls, that’s why I just decided…
From TW HIStory 1 - Obsessed is my guilty pleasure 🤫 (I would have liked HIStory 2 - Right or Wrong more if not for the questionable power dynamic... they are both adults but it doesn't change the fact that ML was MC's professor and that made it creepy - I was there for cute family interactions, thou) For me HIStory 3 was fine (I didn't care much about the mains but 2nd couple was the main reason I watched, thou it ended kind of weird for them, like some parts were cut 🤷♀️). Have you seen We Best Love (both seasons)? It's a must 😁 Beacuse of You just needed more EPs (or cut one of the bros storyline - the 2nd ones I could go without) but it was my 1st TW BL and "gateway drug" 🤭 DNA Says Love You had some issues but the concept is quite interesting (and we get rare thing in BLs - already established couple, especially as 2nd couple). Be Loved in House: I do is not groundbreaking but nice watch (I don't get why Little Prince choose 🌹 in oryginal but here definitely 🦊 was irresistible 🤭).
I’ve left the Thai BLs a year ago. I think ITSAY, and 2gether were the best ones they ever had. I tried watching…
Let me disagree a bit when it comes to Thai productions. I was not able to finish ITSAY - it just never pulled me in. And when it comes to 2gether... really, high five? 😒 People loved KinnPorshe and I thought it was quite good (their budget must have been higher than many other combined) but not in my top. Love in the Air was one of the better ones from last year. However for me, on "That top" is Not Me. If you haven't seen it, I would seriously recommend it (it was this role that made me Gun's big fan; unpopular opinion but I don't get swooning over Off's looks 🤷♀️).
I know that it's all about personal taste but I wouldn't cross off Thai works. They all make better and worst BL: I usually like JP but Zenra Meshi was just meh, same with KR All the Liquors/New Employee/The Director who buys me Dinner/Love Mate or TW's Plus Minus/My Tooth Your Love (2nd couple got potential that was squashed and I totally don't get point of the 3rd). I tried several Philippine series (Gameboys/Like in the Movies/MyDay/Stay) and just can't find them as appealing - low budget Mr. Cinderella from VT was for me better (Stupid Genius just needed a bit more EPs and it would have been fine).
I can agree about Stay with Me - it's one I am waiting for every week and I don't care if they kiss or not, as they really don't need words or grand actions to convey feelings (why dubbing, thou? I know it's CH standard but it would have been better without). I also like that it's about family (Duo is super adorable) - doesn't matter with which we started, we can always build one that is the best for us.
I also found The Eighth Sense to be in my "KR top" with Our Dating Sim (and Semantic Errorr/To My Star).
Is it just me or is the fact that a disabled person is used as a "comic relief" really problematic?
From the trailer I kind of thought that he was pretending to be disabled - but that doesn't make it better IMO. He is also "heavier" than the rest, so that might be his main joke "feature" (for example actress Sammy was often getting fat jokes in the series for not being super slim, like the other girls 😞). If they make the series a comedy and everyone is more or less on the same level of "comic relief" then it would not be so bad (hopefully).
Can you give title of the book? I would love to read something non-r*py (I am fighting to finish book 3 of Love Syndrome and let me tell you - it's a fight!)
MC - major character (in BLs usually "uke/shou/bottom"). ML - male lead (in BLs usually "seme/gong/top"). I added numbers to make it clear who is with whom - MC No. 1 is with ML No. 1, similarly MC2 and ML2 (I will admit that the names slip my mind often 😳). The book mailny focuses on MC1 (guy hitting his head with bricks) and ML1 (guy MC1 ex-GF fancies) but MC2 (doc and MC1 friend) and ML2 (rich snake man) are quite important and - in my opinion - more interesting pair.
Anyone else feel a little bit bad for Su Yu's mom? When the scene came up where her mom kept calling him but he…
They mentioned that in 10 years prior she contacted them 5 times, so once every 2 years or so. For me it's not surprising that Su Yu would keep his distance - given history he might think that it's just temporary interest and she is going to get bored soon and leave them for another years. She gave him no basis to believe that she changed (it seems like money are still the most important to her and solution to every problem is to throw them at it). I can sympathize with her to a point but the fact is that she is facing consequences of her own actions - she cannot expect instant forgiveness (or any at this point). Maybe if she proven herself to be better... but the woman cared so little that she didn't even know the school her bio son was attending (and that her stepson transfered at all) - where are pictures of her son or anything showing she thought/cared about him all those years? Would she be even talking about him if not to brag that he is top of the school?
In this one we even have 2 like that ("Taiwanese girl").
The poor grapes... SY was so teasing him then and you could just feel that he knows/suspects WB feelings towards him.
At least WB admitted out loud his feelings ("He is mine" + his talk about international turmoil with Duo, which I think SY might have misunderstood a bit as being about YW), something I think is going to take some time for SY 😞
