Not a Robot

It's hard for me to differentiate because people into punk for looks would have been called poseurs. The clothing and look was an extension of the music, not the other way around. It would be like in 15 years where people say they dress "hip hop" but do not listen to the music, people around today would think it's cosplay. It would have been better had they not used the word "punk" but then I have to understand it's Japan, a country well known for surface level imitation. I was in university when Black American culture was imitated and Japanese scholars complained of surface level imitation, based on looks, fashion and music, without understanding the Foundational Black American culture. Same for punk just being about clothes and look, not the underground music originating in the United States, resonating and blowing up with the working class youth in England, then traveling globally. There were punk bands in Japan back then too.

Fujibayashi has beautiful eyes. The most disappointing part of this series was the lack of music. Punk wasn't about clothes, it was about the music. I understand that none of the actors were born when punk was new, but clothes are just clothes. It's like I can dress "goth" but if I don't listen to the music and understand why those clothes are an expression of it, then they're just clothes. I enjoyed the acting of both leads, they did a great job.

The singing is so good. I've never run across this type of show in Thailand, but I haven't been looking for them either. That's doesn't stop me from seeing Muay ads from being everywhere. Even though I won't understand it, I would love to see a show.

I just finished Ep. 1 now I'm worried that classmate-kun is AE, especially after making a comment that Chiaki's personality was unexpected, like he knew him. I didn't read the manga, so it's a guess. I'm more interested in the "punk" aspect of this series. Being a new waver, I was very interested in hopefully hearing the music Japanese punks listen to. I'm looking forward to episode 2 and beyond.

I think it's crazy and Thais do not dress that way, they dress for the climate. You literally stink at the end of the day due to the humidity and heat, that's why they always talk about taking a shower. Even the actors are usually in t-shirts when they aren't working. Aircon in Thailand is really cold, so I can see the comforter.

You provided the biggest link, who the biggest investor is. That makes total sense now.

I read this novel on meb a while back and I am so looking forward to this series. The novel cannot capture the Likay style of entertainment for someone like me who isn't Thai and has no knowledge of Likay, so I'm looking forward to the performances as well.

I think that GMMTV made the correct decision but these fans also cost the actors money since they no longer will be doing this series. If I were rich and produced BL, I would pull my financing anytime fans got enraged because it would not be worth the headache. Thanks for helping explain the back story.

Thanks for explaining, but I'm not understanding the problem, except for shipping actual people. I don't read fanfics anymore but I used to read Viewfinder (a BL manga series that's been around for about 20 years) fanfics and there was a person who got popular and pulled their stories off AO3, renamed the characters, then put the stories on Amazon as a novel. I think that's worse, just like Twilight allegedly being former fanfiction of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, making that fanfic author millions. Even today, people write subtitles, or translate novels, again, not their IP and you have to join their Patreon for access. There must be more to this, because it happens all the time.

Except for the huge mistake of not recasting the baby to an 18 month old, I really enjoyed this series. Satang has always been underrated, and he and Winny have great chemistry.

I'm selfish and I just want to see this series. I hope they find these actors a new project together because I was really excited for this.

This is on YouTube in clips dubbed in Mandarin. The cinematography is so bad that I thought this was from a 1992 VHS tape. The ML's profile picture looks nothing like the guy in the drama due to the bad wig. The FL and ML are both unlikeable and terrible even in Mandarin, so I hope they get together in order not to bother anyone else. I wanted to see if the clips were giving the drama an unfair presentation, so I came here. I'm just thankful that I won't be watching 20 episodes of this.

This is the series I have the least exceptions due to I didn't like the Love Sick remake and the age of Progress. Their acting has gotten better from what I've seen in the trailer, but I think Progress should play a kid brother first, to someone like Khaotung, because I want to see him act with a more senior colleague. I think August would be a good younger brother for Perth, as I would like to see him act with both Perth and Santa.

I don't know if the novel is in English so I haven't read it, but I hope they show a realistic portrayal of HIV/AIDS during the time this story takes place. There are young men today who think PrEP is going to save their azz and someone in my family knows someone who just tested poz, but was playing bare thinking PrEP was 100%. This was a hard time for all of us, but the gay community in particular. I don't want to hear a bunch of social justice warrior talking points, just show the story. That the MC was born HIV+ or got it from breastfeeding, but still alive and healthy at age 17, is a good sign.

I'm still waiting for the cat series, and I'm looking forward to this too. First and Khaotung are just magical.

I haven't watched any of the series listed here, so I'm not shocked that I've never heard of him.

Since I don't know who any of the actors are, I won't watch a gay baiting bromance. Just make it a straight show. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were not a couple or homoerotic/gay baiting, but people still enjoyed the story. I don't watch contemporary movies so I don't have a 21st century reference. Sorry.

It was cute, but the ending was a let down. Why get riled up and pressure the dude for nothing? It was unrealistic as, in real life, he would have gone there to look at the place.

Lovely series. I did not expect much when I started watching this, but it ended up being my favorite Jimmy and Sea series. The interview of Thap and In at the end of the final episode was so sweet and made me smile.

Normally I don't like series with people wanting to make it big in music, and I'm not into high school problems, but this was a cute series. My biggest complaint is, that Win should have had better coping skills having lived to the age of 40. He was not very wise, and that was a huge shortcoming to me. I'm just glad that he told Nut how he felt, but his mental capacity should have been closer to his father's but he seemed to have the thinking skills of just a regular 17 year old. Oh well, I liked it anyway.
