I don’t really understand why they announced this project so early as long wait times and postponing just frustrate…
Taking 1,5 years on a script should only be acceptable if it’s a full length series 😅I was already disappointed with Shine this year ( the final product did not match the development time and marketing hype imo) so I’m kind of concerned for this one as well.
Also the fact that boc is now expanding into gen/straight content….if they only make one queer series per year they should at least try to make it proper length,go all-out on scale and make it so epic that it doesn’t fade from discussion in a few weeks or months because that is not sustainable for the company(only Kinnporsche has managed to maintain an active fandom long after the series ended)Large production conglomerates like GMMTV that churn out dozens of series per year don’t have to make their series memorable or care about longetivity but small production houses have to or at least should.
Also, tbh I don’t think 4 minutes needed a sequel, they should have gone with a new concept and new characters…..Idk maybe I’m being too harsh on Be On Cloud, but since Kinnporsche showed us what they are capable of it has been hard for me to accept all of these new mini series with kind of meh characters in comparison😬Now that Domundi has kind of emerged as a potential competitor with Khemjira (it capitalized on similar things that boc is known for :high production value and fusing traditional genres with BL) I wonder if it could spur boc on to step up their game🤔In 2022-2024 they were basically the only company making mature ”prestige BL” but that is changing now. Who knows though, maybe they are content with only having their one hit and do not even attempt to create anything comparable to KP ever again😅
I agree that we need more seasoned actors in queer series and movies but for me personally it’s also bad if the actor is too known. If I have seen a face too many times it’s impossible to take their character seriously as the suspension of disbelief that I need to enjoy series has been shattered. This of course applies to non queer context too. When it comes to the West I’m kind of sick of seeing for example Timothee Chalamet everywhere (nothing against the guy, just think that he is too much everywhere)Ideally there would be seasoned actors that are still somewhat fresh in that they have not been in every major production for the past 5 years.
From 8.9 to 8.5? People are downrating this series just because their favorite GL doesn’t have a rating this…
This always happens to the most groundbreaking series that try to explore new things. Kinnporsche has a rating of 8 and I feel like Clairebell will eventually join as now it’s down to 8,4 lol
It's been half of January, still no official information about 8 Hours, jes movie promo in February, in March…
I don’t really understand why they announced this project so early as long wait times and postponing just frustrate fans. Better to just announce a show once most of it has been filmed unless you need to make a pilot trailer to secure funding but obviously that is not something that applies to BOC.
The film was beautifully shot, they obviously had a budget and the actors are very good at their job.Ngl, I was still quite disappointed in the story and especially the romance. If there was supposed to be any yearning I did not really feel it. It was hard for me to believe that Suzuki and Sugiki are in love. Maybe their relationship is more fleshed out in the manga.
I'm sitting here watching it on Netflix knowing it's going to throw some people down the rabbit hole that is Thai…
Don’t worry about the moral police lol I love Kinnporsche too, it’s one of my longest hyperfixations ever. Usully when I watch a BL I move on to the next when it ends and nothing really stays with you (the characters are usully not so interesting that they could sustain long-term engagement) but I was very active in the KP fandom for 3 years and I still read fic about yhe characters to this day. Messed up relationships and moral greyness is so interesting to explore in fiction
Other fandoms so terrified of Davika and BleJie that they are mass downvoting this series.They were so mad on…
Celebrity stans make me so tired😩Do people not watch series for characters and stories anymore or is everything just about making your fave no.1 through whatever means possible lol This competition thing is so weird and I blame kpop influence😅
I don’t think we should care about ratings too much. My favourite shows are not rated that highly on MDL and shows that are just objectively bad are highly rated here 😅
I really want more series from this company regardless of cast. I was originally hoping for a season 2, but Claire and Bell’s story wrapped up nicely, so I don’t think a new season could be equally interesting unless they focus on other characters. Hopefully the team get their investment returned and don’t go bankrupt or something😅

Sorry for the rantXD
