I don’t understand - An wants his father to accept his boyfriend because Bai Lang lost his family. Soooo, he wants Bai Lang to get an abusive SOB as a father now??? Why???

Yeah, yeah, I get “different cultures” sentiment. So due to my different culture, I would fight back right away, and tell the old fart that I hope he has enough money for a good nursing home. Then I would be on my way to my wonderful life, interesting work and loving boyfriend.

Honestly, I thought An donated his kidney to his ex, that’s why he didn’t want to tell Bai Lang. I didn’t even think about this abusive parent thing since An is a grown adult with his own business. Oh well, silly me… 🤦‍♀️

Yes, I’m pretty sure they had a good reason to shut Alex up - with both of them being jocks and ladies’ men on the outside… 😉
But seriously, how nice it would be if people could be open about their relationships without being judged! In this respect, I appreciate some “gayverse” series where it’s perfectly normal for a guy to introduce his boyfriend to his friends and everyone goes “oh, hi! Nice meeting you!” 😻

Yes, I had to rewind and take another look - it was so fast 😂 It looked like Joe initiated the kiss (or a tight hug) with Army before they noticed Alex. Did I get it right? I was really judging by Army’s jacket. So it might as well be anyone if the writer wanted to confuse us 😂

Yep, that’s what I thought, too😉 but we’ll see. Theoretically, it’s a comedy, right? So nothing bad should happen 🤞😊

I understand the show just provides a character’s POV, and it’s fine, that’s what the character is for 😉
I would dislike it, though, if in the last episode they all benevolently forgive Kanoon while she keeps her stalking act. There are “fans” like that irl, and they endanger the very celebrities they claim they love so much. So I am actually grateful to the show for depicting a character like that, and in my opinion, it would be great to have a realistic resolution to the situation. So we’ll see.

When Kanoon claims she’s stalking Mai and Copter because she loves them so much - what a bunch of crap! That’s not love, that’s obsession, and not healthy at that. She needs a restraining order, not her friend’s forgiveness. And she admits that she’s doing terrible things, and still keeps doing them? She should see a specialist at this point, and Namwah should stay the hell away from this psycho. 🤦‍♀️

Actually, as drunk as he was, I don’t think Alex managed to lose his virginity to anyone. The fact that Joe and Army told him that he’s no longer a virgin doesn’t mean anything. They could say whatever they wanted.

Thank you so much! 😊

I didn’t read the novel, so does someone know what Win was referring to when he said he was afraid to lose his loved one like he’s lost before (or something along those lines)? What happened to him?
Thank you 😊

Thank you for checking out on me 😂 I am tired of you assuming things about me and don’t feel a need to defend myself. So whatever. Have a nice life ✌️

Ok, to start with, I am not “perpetuating” anything. I didn’t say I liked the tropes. In fact, I don’t, and I wish BLs moved away from them. I also don’t think 2gether was a masterpiece at all. I’m not a fan.
I’m also not qualified to trash actors, and I think Prem is not as awful as you think. You have your opinion, and I have mine, and it’s ok.
I don’t challenge anyone. I just wish them success and happiness as they learn their craft. If I like the show - I watch it. As simple as that. Some shows I like better than others, but if they deliver a story that keeps my interest - great. If they don’t - I drop them.
As for the responsible party - I am holding responsible the person in charge. In a company it would be CEO. On the movie set it’s a director.
So, let’s agree that tropes are stupid, actors should be learning to act with different partners, and plots should be better.
And let’s agree to disagree on Prem’s acting skills - you think they are nonexistent, and I think he’s not that bad. Both opinions are okay to have. ✌️

Well, I swear I didn’t come up with the tropes that disparage gay men 🤦‍♀️ I mentioned the tropes because most BLs still use them. Good or bad - they are in the script. Actors are not out there on the set by themselves. They have acting coaches and the director. So whatever they are doing at the end is approved by the director.
You’ve taken acting. Has your teacher never given corrections? I bet they did. Same with the director. I was on a movie set and one scene was being retaken for over half a day to get everything right to a director’s liking. So if an actor does something absolutely abominable in the scene and it makes it out to the world - to me it’s a director’s fault.
I never said Prem (or Boun for that matter) was the best actor in Thailand. But he’s taking me through the story, and I am grateful for that. Do they all have stuff to learn? Of course they do. And I agree with you that it would be for their learning benefit to act with different partners.
But those details like kisses - if a director didn’t like it he’d be hiring a special choreographer to teach an actor what exactly he should be doing for a particular scene.
Unfortunately, a lot of companies in Thailand just milk the industry while they can without investing much. They figure the audience will eat it anyway as long as there’s enough eye candy.

Yes, the premise of BL itself is boy-boy-story 😂 it’s all about details and background that should make them a bit different from each other. And that’s where they need talented writers to make it happen. And as we agreed before, there’s a huge deficit of that for now. The shows I mentioned at least tried to have different details and genres. To me, that’s a progress. What can I do - I am optimistic 🤷‍♀️😂

Honestly, I think it’s bad writing and direction that hinders Prem - not his acting skills. I assure you that if the writers or a director meant for that kiss to be hot, a director would make Prem retake that scene until he got it right, and we would see only the final result - a totally hot kiss. If this kiss appeared to be an “air kiss” - that means Prem was instructed to do so by the director.
A lot of times in BLs ukes behave like old spinsters when it comes to any physical signs of affection, even if they just had a night of hot sex and have been with their partner for a while. Why the heck they do it like that? Who knows, maybe they just assign a female gender roles to males because they do “copy/paste” from a hetero drama to a BL instead of creating a normal relationship 🤷‍♀️
As for splitting those ships - I am all for it as I think fan service only brings money to the company while harming the actors. And each actor should be looked at as a separate entity, which as human beings, they already are. If it makes sense for the script to pair them up again - sure, why not. But I don’t think they should be stuck with each other forever. I wish the best of luck to all of them! 😻

For NCs, same here. That’s exactly what I mean that they should make sense for the plot. Solid writing of the characters included 😉 That’s also where chemistry comes in. Some actors can pull it off just because they are best friends irl, some need a “choreographer” involved - I don’t care how it’s done, as long as it’s done nicely 🤩
I never said all the series I mentioned were perfect (maybe just a couple), but they scored huge points from me because they sincerely tried to do something different. So I liked them (some more than the others) and will be waiting for more. By the way, I loved the aesthetics of On Cloud Nine - short series, small studio, absolutely gorgeous. 😻

I noticed they increased the number of NC scenes and I don’t mind NCs as such, but they have to make sense for the plot. Otherwise I’ll lose interest. Korean BLs are different, just like their hetero dramas. They are great storytellers, so I have high hopes for them. If we’re talking about Thailand, I hope for more series like Manner of Death, Triage, ITSAY, Sky in your heart, Cupid’s last wish, and others that tried to branch out into different genres. Like KP, Not Me, Dear doctor I came for your soul, RakDiao, and I’m sure I missed several more. So I am hoping that there will be more and more interesting series coming our way. 😊

Yeah, my husband learned to just apologize when I wake up bitching about some nonsense he did in my dream 🤦‍♀️😂

Moreover, they had this scene as part of episode preview last week. Wtf? 🤷‍♀️ Anyway, I don’t think Ping handles crying scenes too well, that’s why it looks a bit off to me. It’s ok, he’ll learn in time 😊

I haven’t read the novel, but I agree that writing somehow is an afterthought in BLs. I guess it’s because there’s still few of them (even with the latest influx) and the audience will eat it up anyway as long as the guys are cute enough.
Hopefully, with more BLs coming out there will be enough competition to hire expert writers from different genres and expert crew, in addition to handsome leads. 😻

I think by having so many side couples the company is just fishing for data - which couple would be popular enough to have their own series, that’s all. So good luck to the actors! 😻
