I wish Asian artists had as much personal freedom as everyone. I don’t know if and when that time comes, but I am glad that their shows place this unfair practice on full display. When Kang tells Moo that he has now lots of fans loving him unconditionally, it really irked me - if they loved him “unconditionally”, they would be happy for Moo’s happiness. So if Moo has to hide it from them - it’s not really unconditional love, is it now? 🤷♀️
Tongrak has pas trauma with death… you guessed right…
That’s interesting! Thank you very much! Pete had a reason to play it as a stupor, because that’s exactly what it was supposed to look like. He did a great job! And it seemed like Mut recognized it and reacted accordingly, calming him down. Nice! 👍
The way Tong went into a stupor when Mut disappeared might be caused by something in his past. So I will just give Tong’s reaction a benefit of doubt and won’t consider it as a strangly directed scene for now. I am not quite sure what to make out of Mut’s character yet - is he a nice fuckboy/gigolo? I mean, his little bro was pitching him like a pro 😂and Mut himself was offering “more than a guide” services, but he could be just flirting with a guy he liked. Tong seems to be a regular spoiled neurotic city babe so far. I guess we’ll see 🤷♀️
I don’t think he’s thinking of Tong at all at this point. He’s thinking of old Joe.
Yes, let’s drink for Joe’s happiness! 🥂😻 Wouldn’t it be interesting if the series decided to send Ming to hell and give Joe a decent boyfriend? 🤩 Of course, never gonna happen 😔

Yes, Joe still thinks Ming loves Tong. And just like there’s a cycle for Joe to be a stand-in, there’s a cycle for Ming to look for a stand-in. I hope they both get out of their cycles, although I don’t care much about little shit Ming 😂
You should watch Lovely writer (Up) and Star and sky (Mek). They were such softies, it's hard to get their characters…
I have seen those, and I liked them there, those series were exactly what I meant 😉 I also liked Mek in Player where I think it was the first time he played a shady character instead of a charming guy. So yeah, Player won’t do. Star and Sky it is! 😁
I’m watching several series right now, but Ming and Tong take the “hate” crown with no close contenders! Props to Up and Mek! I will have to go see their other series now to cleanse my palate! 😂
Ugh I want to read the novel to know everything right now but I kind of want to torture myself every week and…
I started reading it but people here say it’s much worse than the series, and I’m frustrated with the series enough, so I dropped the novel. Granted, I haven’t read much yet. Edit: “worse” as in toxicity of their relationship.
I can not see a redemption arc for Ming. This episode just proves it. He misses Joe and thinks he is alive. He…
Thank you, my thoughts exactly! Little shit Ming is still the same - looking for a warm body similar to his fantasy again and again, no remorse, no hesitation. I really don’t want Joe to end up with Ming even though I understand they must be the endgame 😡🤦♀️
That is a dick move on their part! 😡This IS a BL ffs, stop flipping the characters’ sex! Now I HAVE TO go…
You mean in DBK? At first it did look like Gawin’s character was a top, but closer to the end they were openly discussing who will be “doing” who that night, and it seemed like a normal everyday discussion for them, so I was glad to see a different dynamic.

I could never understand that “bottom is just like a woman” thing. Why is it so hard to understand that preferred position in bed has absolutely nothing to do with the masculinity of a guy 🤦♀️To be fare, I also dislike when females are portrayed as always avoiding physical contact, and I see the parallel between portraying women and “bottom” gay men, which drives me up the wall. Like why wouldn’t Cher let his established boyfriend just give him a casual kiss? 🤨
I did think that Yak’s affection for Dee is totally different from the way he sees the girl. While he can’t take his hands off of Dee and displays all sorts of sexual tension with him, Yak’s affection for the girl looks more platonic to me. It signals more of an admiration and gratitude to her. So yes, it was weird to see such a discrepancy in a supposedly bisexual man. And I agree, I couldn’t feel any jealousy because of it, while Yak going after another guy would make a huge difference.
Oh well, I guess we have to hope to see more natural relationships in BLs. Actually, I think one of the very first “verse” relationships was portrayed in Dark Blue Kiss between Pond’s and Gawin’s characters. It looked very natural and fresh to me.
I love this series, but this ep didn't do much for me, except for all the hotness and cuteness and lack of clothing.First…
That is a dick move on their part! 😡This IS a BL ffs, stop flipping the characters’ sex! Now I HAVE TO go read the novel. I really don’t understand why it’s apparently ok for a “bottom” guy to be gay but not so much for a “top”? What about a “verse”? I don’t mind bi character at all, but if the original source had him as gay, just leave him be! 🤦♀️
I haven't read the full book, but the first three chapters I read didn't have any SA in it from what I could see.…
Thank you so much! 😊 I’m perfectly fine with smut as long as it’s consensual between all adult participants 😉 Also, did you find the book in English? If so - where? I tried the link to MEB someone posted but it didn’t work 😭I even downloaded MEB app but I couldn’t find it there (at least, not when I entered the name in English) 🤷♀️

I will try to find it, and I hope they will have their own series! 😻
