Could I ask you to please give me the names of some of the Noona romances you've enjoyed - especially Japanese ones.

As a fan of age gap romances, and Noona romances in particular, could I bother you to let me know which ones you have especially enjoyed, just in case there are some gems I've overlooked.

Me too.

No and no.
A pedophile is a person sexually attracted to prepubescent children. An 18 year old woman is not a prepubescent child. In Thailand, legal adulthood is reached at age 20, or unless you are married, which is allowed from age 17. Being a minor is a LEGAL definition, while being a prepubescent child is a BIOLOGICAL definition. A country could theoretically change the age of legal adulthood to 30. Would that mean a 31 year old man with a 29 year old girlfriend would suddenly become a pedophile because he's going out with a minor?

Amateur … silly … cute … FUN. Just switch off your brain and watch it for some simple, fluffy entertainment.

The novel is SPICEY, but not distasteful. Anyway, I understand it might not be for everyone.

If you haven't already read the novel, buy it and read it. https://www.mebmarket.com/ebook-278699-Blank--English-version
If you haven't watched the show with my English Subs, rewatch it with them, as the experience will be SLIGHTLY different. File links in my Profile.
Also, see my reply to Wanheda below with some links to some low budget Thai and Vietnamese short GL webdramas. They won't be winning any Oscars, but they are cute and fun to watch when you've got some free time and you don't want to think too hard. I will warn you that they are mostly auto-translated, so be prepared for that.

In the original novel, Nueng is indeed Anueng's guardian, as Anueng is still legally a minor in Thailand (even though she is 19). But in the drama, Anueng is older and already a legal adult, so she doesn't need or have a guardian. In the drama, Anueng is a 21 year old woman being played by an actress who was 22 at the time.

Whereas for me, this is the most enjoyable drama I've watched in the last 12 months. So I guess it just means different people like different things.

Coincidently, Omai season 2 has just started. I've been waiting for ages for it, because I really like the lead actresses in this drama.

If dramas like Gap, Blank, 23.5, Love Senior, The Secret of Us etc. are like a main meal, perhaps some snacks between meals will help. There are a lot of very short (and to be honest, very low budget and amateur) GL dramas on YouTube. But even though they aren't technically great, they are still cute and fun to watch. There are quite a lot of short Korean GL dramas, but personally I like the Thai ones. Some Thai channels that have a lot of GL content are:

I've uploaded the last episode with improved subtitles. I took some liberties with some of my changes to improve the clarity and impact of some of the dialogue, which was (in my opinion) a bit confusing at times. Also, the final scene of this episode was originally found after the credits, but they moved it back to before the credits, but they forgot to move the subtitles back as well. So, I fixed that. Otherwise, I've just done the usual tweaks.
This has been a labour of love for me, and even though I did it primarily for myself, I am glad that others have enjoyed my work. Now, like other fans, I will wait impatiently for news of Faye & Yoko's next project.

If you haven't already done so, and if you'd like a slightly different experience, then watch the resubbed version linked in my profile.

I agree. I think they made a mistake doing that.

I've had similar thoughts. Then they could have flashed back to when Nueng was telling Anueng her concerns about their age gap, and Anueng replied that the age gap was good because it would allow her to look after Nueng when she was old.

There are a LOT of GL novels available on this website. Just make sure you buy the English version if you do decide to buy something.

Yeah - I agree this wasn't done well. Although when I saw this for the second time last night, because I knew what was coming, I found it less of a problem.

If you haven't already read the novel, buy it and read it.

I'm desperately waiting for news about Faye & Yoko's next project. I'm currently reading the novel "Be My Baby", and they would be perfect in a drama based on that book. Also, I'll have my updated/improved English subs done in the next day or two and will put a comment here once they have been uploaded. All links in my Profile.

Summarised from the last page of the book:
* Anueng wakes up late, still exhausted from sex with Nueng the previous night. Nueng had purchased some "toys" which they were using. (This is after a 5 year time skip by the way)
* Nueng asks Anueng what she'd like for breakfast, and tells her that she only has egg plant and cucumber.
* Anueng starts to run back up stairs.
* Nueng asks Anueng where she is going.
* Anueng says she'll eat anything Nueng cooks, provided it isn't in "that shape".
