I must’ve missed it too. I really liked Max Tul’s chemistry in all their series - to me, they are a golden standard of “sizzling”, and not just in BL 🤩

Exactly! There’s nothing wrong with dom/sub relationship when there’s a CONSENT. I haven’t seen Payu and Rain discussing anything along those lines.

Yep, that’s for sure :)

To each their own - if you are fine with a partner who forces you into doing what he wants (even if the end result is good) it’s OK, but I am not. Maybe it’s because I am a control freak and I take making my own decisions very seriously ☺️ All people are different with different needs, and again - it’s fine. I am talking from my perspective.

Yes, it does. And it also shows how much slut-shaming Fiat went through, “paying” for being experienced, which I think is wrong.

To me, it’s not about what Payu wants to get as an end result (Rain doing his homework - ok, very noble). It’s about HOW he’s doing it. He’s basically training Rain like a dog - do as I say and I will like you. Well, what if he doesn’t? Payu will withdraw his feelings forever? That’s a bad manipulation as he doesn’t trust Rain to make a sensible decision (do the damn homework) on his own. Even talking to Rain without threatening him with “no love for you” would be great. Rain is a young boy who adores Payu and ready to do whatever it takes to please him (literally). Payu should be teaching him to make an effort in life for himself, on his own volition instead of doing it for someone - it’s just not healthy for Rain.
Just my opinion ☺️

Thank you 😊 I can’t wait to see more quality BLs!

Exactly. I think BL as a genre is still very young and has a lot of growing up to do. So many opportunities - I wish it was less dependent on sponsors and tried and tired tropes. But I guess, baby steps 😊

I guess Payu is just a Jack of all trades! 😂 If only he was less manipulative! 😼

I totally agree with you, and although we got a pretty decent scene, I had a feeling that Rain wasn’t ready for this rapid development at all. He looked like a deer in a headlight and seemed to go with it just to please his “master”. I also didn’t see any prep, and theoretically it’s Rain’s first time…
As for emotional flop, there was not even “I like you” from Payu, just an acknowledgment that Rain can stay by his side. Wow, thank you master! 🙄
And to seal puppy/master dynamic for me - “Rain belongs to Payu. Say it”. Um, ok, but what about “Payu belongs to Rain”? Isn’t a relationship a two way street?
Sorry, I don’t mean to crap on this series, just something didn’t sit right with this scene, even though I do appreciate it overall - it was very nicely done. It’s rather about the script, not actors.

That’s their whole relationship dynamic so far: a puppy and his owner, and I’m not sure if I like it. I wonder if they will ever level up to equal partners…

😊

I understand now what it was supposed to be, but I just don’t like this kind of joke in front of others when she’s the reason for for him being the butt of the joke. So, to me - it’s not so much a joke itself (although not the funniest one) as the situation and person it was used against. I’ve heard something like this in Thai BLs, but it was said between lovers while both are laughing and being ALONE. They were laughing with each other, not at someone in front of others (grandma also laughing makes it even worse for me, sorry 😅).
Anyway, it could be just me being overprotective towards a person (or a character) I like 😉

You’re probably right since you definitely have experience with the culture :)
I understand being snarky with people close to you in a joking way, and I’ve done it myself, but not like this. I guess this particular joke in this particular situation doesn’t sit right with me, that’s all.
Thank you for letting me know, though, that it’s a rather popular joke! It does make me feel a bit better since I do like Pam and was a bit shocked with that remark of hers. 🙏

I like Danil as he makes sense as an ex-boyfriend character in a BL context waaay more than Cherry 😉
He’s cute and bitchy - perfect ex! With all that - he still tried to save Kim which is a good karma for him 😻

That’s a great virtue! 🙏😂

Yes, it’s a bromance the way they filmed it, unfortunately. But I could feel “the feels” as the original is a BL.
You’ve probably seen Golden Blood and Triage :)
I also liked Rak Diao, it’s more of rom com, though…
Unfortunately, some other BLs that were supposed to be about more mature characters honestly disappointed me, so I’m not recommending them :)

2 episodes ago? You’re so patient! Don’t forget that boy has been in love with Akira for 10 years, and now he’s being friendzoned for another year or so. I would go for Asuka instead like 6 episodes ago 😻😂

Or, they could have 12 episodes with a time jump in episode 6, giving us an actual love story for at least half of the show 🙄

Ok, so who could we recommend for Danil? We need someone who would love him, keep him occupied and appreciate his mischievous sass.
So far, I can see Joss’s character from “3 will be free” - he could definitely handle Danil’s antics 😂
