Nachi

If they will portray his condition correctly, he'll never properly talk. This is something that can belong to the ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and the few words that he speaks take a lot and he cannot do that with anybody and more importantly he can't do it all the time. He's maybe not diagnosed with ASD because it's possible that in Thailand it wasn't a recognised "disease". Apart from not talking, Name is totally fine. I'm kinda sad that he cannot follow his friends. Maybe he will change his life in another way. We will see :).

I have to get this out of my system before I finish the series. At least I hope I can finish it because after a bit more than the half...it goes in a direction that's really trampling on my nerves. WHY would you lie at your job or not tell anything that's important for everyone to know? Why would you decide to become something like a "spy"? That was just super ridiculous! But what annoys me the most is the situation with Dae Ryuk. I understand that in certain countries mental disorders/diseases are still looked down upon but how they handle it each and EVERY time in this series drives me nuts. How Ma Eum talks to him devalues all his feelings and emotions. She laughs it off and even thinks that she'd like to quit working with him. When she said that, it felt to me like she wasn't even trying to understand what's going on. Even when Dae Ryuk was able to KIND of get the message across through his drawings, Ma Eum still decides to keep it a secret?!? Especially when the mom showed up she still decided to be oh so polite blabla. I HATE this attitude SO much! I know that hierarchy and a certain kind of manner is common in South Korea but you're not right just because you yell at somebody. If this series portraits the actual situation in SK, then I am REALLY worried for everyone's mental health. Especially for those who already are vulnerable or suffered from trauma. Dae Ryuk practically SCREAMS to me that he suffers and that he's in need of medical attention. There might be cases where it's not that obvious but here it is and I really despise how awkwardly Ma Eum tiptoes around this situation. NEVER belittle a person like that! ASK! TALK! But don't keep it all for your self or lie or just stay silent!

Same thoughts! If it wasn't late at night already, I would have screamed at them. Instead I angrily whispered that they can be super lucky that there are three more episodes left. But leaving us with the last scene and then giving us THAT kind of preview....HOLY MOTHER OF LORD! I won't be able to sleep now!

Due to me not being in a good mood, this episode hit me hard. It had its very cute moments but especially the end pulled me down. I feel so sorry for Aye because it's so hard to see someone that you love suffer and you don't know how to change it (especially in that exact moment). You worry that due to that pressure they will fall ill the way you are and that's just something you don't want to happen. I think I'd wish people would rather not try to understand me instead of feeling the way I feel and thus being able to understand. That's probably not what Aye thinks but most definitely he's afraid of Akk breaking. Still very nice progress. I'd wish for more depth in the protest itself as well (just like another person here mentioned) but it's getting into the right direction. Sometimes a bit cringy but it's still fine and I can deal with it ^^.

Can somebody tell me what the voice said to Kim in the very last scene just before he disappeared? There were no subs for me :(.

I feel like I ordered only a simple dish and was served the most expensive Wagyu steak but for the same price. Like...I.....didn't order that but HELL, I'm all in for this! Thank you, I guess? I'll savour this with delight.

This was a very nice and heart-warming short story. I'd love to see more of it but if it's really been unpopular in Taiwan, we'll probably won't get another season. Still; I enjoyed this a lot 😊.

The first two episodes were very good and I'm glad this series won't be stretched too much. Eight episodes with around 25 minutes each sounds like a good length and I'm really looking forward to this. I've been quite disappointed in many BL series these days but this one looks very promising. Can't wait for next week to come ^ㅅ^!

I usually find it very cringy when characters start to sing but I have to say that this was so wholesome! It even made me tear up a bit while smiling. In general this episode felt so nice and cozy. ❤

Maybe those who haven't watched a lot of BL think it's cute? But then again their behaviour isn't really human-like imo. It's okay if the character is a bit over the top but here there's more than one character behaving like they do in a manga. I hate it in manga and thus I hate it even more in a series. This is why I drop so many series. Of course I want to be entertained and there's nothing wrong with wanting to watch something happy or light. It's also difficult to entertain people when the topic is similar so...I keep repeating myself but "dear authors! don't make love the only topic!". Maybe it's because I have seen or read so many stories already but just turning a manga/novel into a series doesn't always work out.

I dropped Coffee Melody after half an episode and this one maybe after five minutes? It's sad. I wanted to give it a chance because I liked Gameplay in "Ingredients" but...nah! Don't wanna waste my time anymore ^^°.

So...is it finally over? Really? Thank goodness! Never have I felt as betrayed as with this series (or maybe I have forgotten about it already). I don't know what it is with Japanese manga adaptations. Some work out, some won't and seriously...if you add a kissing scene, just pressing each others lips together is...very weird. Just skip it then. I fought through this and am still glad that each episode was only about 20 minutes long. Not too much time that has been wasted.

I looked him up after I posted the question...I could have found out myself 😅. It's still a bit sad because the dub sounds quite unemotional. But I read that Ryan is in Thailand now so maybe next time he'll be able to speak Thai if he takes part in another Thai series.

I'm only at episode 5 but am wondering why only Mek seems to have a voice-over. Any explanation for that?

Seems like the English subs had a little hiccup in the uncut version of ep 4. Totally understandable ^^.

Yes, 180 Degrees is really nice. If I get it right it's kind of a play for theatre and made into a TV series. Maybe this is why it's so "mature"? It feels really refreshing and probably makes it my favourite of this summer. There are some TBL that I like with boing, zoom, squish but only a few ^^.

Read a comment describing that as well. This is really disappointing because then it doesn't make sense to me to even produce a series if there's not much work done on the story itself. Maybe I'm also a bit surfeited? As I mentioned I really wish for an original series to be aired. Something like "Wish You Luck" seems promising (don't know if it's based on a novel or something) because there is a story that's being told. Sometimes it's fun to just watch a series with mainly BL content if it's played out nicely (have to admit that I really like Love in the Air even though it doesn't really have a storyline). Yeah, I feel like I'm repeating myself again but I think you already understand what I mean :).

Or maybe he wanted to avoid it but yes. Let's see what will come off season 2 :).

Yes, the way he was still agonizing over Xi Gu's death was what was so heart-wrenching. I could empathise with him a lot because I kinda know that feeling. But was it mentioned that even he couldn't attend the funeral? Maybe I remember it the wrong way but I think he really is dead at the end of season one or if alive, he's still in a coma (I don't want another story with amnesia). i can imagine that it's hard to watch if there's no happy end. There isn't one for me either. You just go on. Four years is not even close enough for such a deep wound to become a scar. Yes...a story like this, even though the side couple got their happy ending, is a bit traumatizing. It leaves you with a punch to your stomach. I still keep my view on how they shouldn't change the plot to "Xi Gu is in a coma and/or suffers from amnesia (afterwards)".

Don't worry about ranting. I partly read your convo with Maggi and mostly agree with both of your views (I still kinda like SOME Thai BL and even though KP got weird-ish at the end, it still was my favourite; but yeah...some Thai BL are just too much but you need to find the good ones so...gotta watch em all xD...and drop the bad ones)
