Not a Robot

They should have let Frank do the whole series with the shaved head. He looks so handsome.

I figured out why I'm struggling with this. It reminds me of the 80's teen movies, like 16 Candles, down to the score. I'm only on Ep 3, so I'm still willing to give it a shot.

That was my problem with the Seven Days movie adaptation - I thought the actors were a little old for the parts. That was 2015 though when mostly manga readers watched, so they didn't care as much. It is one of my favorite manga so I was disappointed, but I still enjoyed the films. I keep hoping that Thailand remakes it as a series, but they seem to be trending toward hot sex, and Seven Days is a sweet romance.

They wanted to really age-up the characters. The actors are good, but the actors in the series were so good that it took me a little time to adjust. Still worth it to watch the movie.

Though not as good as the manga, two part movies, Seven Days: Monday-Thursday, and Seven Days: Friday-Sunday.

I also recommend the series, His, and the movie His. You will need to watch the series first because the movie is a follow-up. Just be warned that the movie recasts the characters and they have no resemblance to the first pair of actors.

I don't think they nor their managers would have accepted this script. It's too bad because they are wasting the talent.

En of Love, Love Mechanics, This is Love Story. En of Love Tossara is about Bar and Gun. Yin and War are actors from the original, playing Mark and Vee, and their story, Love Mechanics, ended up being the most popular.

Thank you so much!

I just listened to this. I was at Siam Discovery having a leg massage and ATLAS was performing outside. I had no idea who they are, but it was very hot at around noon, and they were giving their all on the stage, dancing and singing. The fans were giving their all too holding up their signs. I'm so glad they have the opportunity to do this OST.

Hi, do you have a link or title to search? I only see books 1 and 2. Thank you.

All of the cast changes are confusing to me. I don't like the Yiwah replacement, and where's Mark, Vee or Nuea? I'm just grateful they call Bar and Gun by name or I would keep forgetting who they are (I'm still used to the originals). I think the MLs are likable, I just want them to move the story a little faster.

Having worked with women who have experienced CSA, child abuse and chronic, pervasive family trauma, I think this series is doing a good job showing a highly sanitized version of reality.

As an aside, when I see Krit on the screen, I mentally yell, "underling" at him.

BL is a spectrum, just like other genres, and I think it's good that you realize you don't like it, instead of forcing yourself to watch to fit in. I hate gratuitous violence, so I don't usually watch violent popular shows. No Squid Games, or Game of Thrones for me.

The father of the baby must be a terrible secret for Tian to do an Ode to Billy Joe.

I thought he was Tian's little brother. He said, "that belonged to my sister" when he was grabbing the bank away from the father. I'm not sure though.

It's a shame how the law changed in the middle of this series. We also lost Love is More than a Word. They had to rush the wedding scene so we never got plot resolution to the mystery that brought the men together.

You make some great points. I can’t stand Teh from the ITSAY franchise, which made me only watch the last 2 episodes of IPYTM. This series is much better in my opinion. Unlike the aforementioned franchise, this isn’t a tear jerker, but some viewers may shed a tear. I would classify this more with 180 Degrees… without the staginess or histrionics. This is one of the best BL dramas I’ve watched, except for Earth not looking old enough for his character. There’s not a lot of soap boxing like Not Me either. Just a beautiful slice of life. It makes points without the preaching or hysterics that are often in BL dramas today. You have to watch and listen to the characters. Just like Li Ming does with Heart.

Lol. Hopefully it will get better now that he and Wen made merit together for Beam and he talked to the girlfriend. She has moved on and found happiness, Jim should try. I can’t make any promises though.

Most people on here haven’t raised a child to adulthood yet. Until then, or unless they see a close friend or family member struggle, they will not realize how difficult it is. I think some viewers are closer to Li Ming’s age so they can more identify with his point of view. Jim is raising a child he didn’t bring into the world and loves Li Ming so much. Realization will come with age and maturity.

I’m sorry that your cousin had to go through that situation, but glad that she escaped before they could get her hooked on drugs or murdered her. She is very brave to have escaped, it’s dangerous to cross them.
I just see Li Ming working back of the house in a Thai restaurant, at the mercy of others. Having been a kid and having raised a kid, this series is doing a terrific job of showing a teen, who is a good person, but thinks they know everything, with the confidence of adolescence, and the parent who is afraid and feeling helpless.
