Princess Shion

Probably his best role yet

I would say it's pretty consistently about the Demons and a little bit about the political sub plot.

Ok so from my understanding and own research Yaoi is kind of an outdated term in western anime and manga spaces, while in japan like I mentioned people tend to use the word BL for everything. Shounen ai was so confusing to me as a japanese person because it is a literal translation of BL/Boys Love. But it seems (at least in the west or outside of japan) some people still categorize shounen ai and yaoi as separate things, the defining aspects being the inclusion or the lack of sex scenes. Thank you for explaining

I'm not sure what you mean by shounen-ai. As a japanese person it sounds like the same meaning as BL aka boys love, shounen=boys ai=love. Can you elaborate?
I mostly grew up outside of japan but at that time I wasn't really deep in the western terminology for mlm categories and now I live in jp. I only know people in the west call sexually explicit stories yaoi and not sexually explicit stories bl especially in manga. In japan everything with 2 guys is BL though, western stories like Heartstopper too and we don't differentiate between sexual and nonsexual stories. I've heard the term shounen ai but never understood the difference from BL and I've never heard anyone in Japan use the word.

omg, you know ball
finally someone who speaks the truth
idk why MDL won't tag them as BL....it literally is, especially Wu

I don't say this often but, literal perfection.

I thought the same thing, I was confused why her sentence was "extended" when the sentence is invalid anyways. I thought the authorities recognized at that point that Claire was wrongfully convicted and wasn't supposed to be there in the first place? I thought they were working on getting her out asap and promised compensation for locking up an innocent person?
Without that plot hole and the time skip it would've been 10/10 for me, seriously what was the point of the time skip? Sometimes a skip makes narrative sense and helps tell a story but I hate how often series end with a last minute skip that wasn't necessary. It's lazy

It's been 4 years but I gotta warn newcomers here who didn't watch this with everyone in 2022.
The TutorYim ship and Nunew's singing career are the only good things that came out of this piece of garbage. Why the hell did they normalize arranged child marriage and abusive control freak fiance?? So glad these obviously talented actors got better opportunities with projects like The Next Prince cuz wth was this

I'm feeling like a pretty and intelligent person who vibed with this wholesome show and enjoyed it very much, thanks for asking!

I agree, everyone is telling her to "pick a side" basically that she doesn't even have time to consider bisexuality. No wonder she's confused about liking a girl when she has only dated guys before and everyone telling her she must be either straight or lesbian. Even Praew can be a bit pushy about coming out since she is the "idgaf what others say" type but I think in the recent episode Min explained herself well how she WANTS to be open but can't and Praew is starting to have a new perspective about Min's situation

This is so underrated wth! The story was well written and emotional, the pacing was just right, the couple is so good together and the last 2 episodes had me in tears for 80 minutes straight....10/10!!!

I think it's not acting, it's just the positioning of the camera or it may be her eyes. Sometimes Film's eyes look like they're staring into the void despite looking straight at a person, some people's eyes look like that from certain angles due to eyeshape, iris shape or even the direction of their gaze. There are more actors who sometimes look like their gaze is 'missing' the target or like they're looking right through someone (2 examples I sometimes notice are both Joong and Dunk). I think that's the case, not necessarily leftover method acting from a blind role.

From what I understand, they were dating during Prim and Bambi's breakup period because that friend of Zee said Bambi and Zee fought cause Bambi can't get over her ex (Prim).

I was kinda worried about that with Shasha's character because she is convinced that nobody can say no to her...she did back off for now finally. But we'll see cuz it'll get more complicated from here on with Gorya starting to feel attracted too probably. And I don't think (or at least hope) Jojo is someone who doesn't romanticize SA and abuse at least telling by his history of works (I watched a lot of his shows hehe) contrary actually, he highlights the importance of consent and how horrible SA is.

Yes, depending on whether you ship the endgame couple. Aside from that it is a pretty standard happy end for Sumire/Aoi getting her revenge on everyone.

Yes I found the dynamics between the characters was the most interesting aspect of the show. Especially the friendship between Mamay and Samut was well written and they were entertaining to watch together as a duo

I don't think everyone here who criticizes the season hates it. They can like it or enjoy but still be critical of certain points or say how it could've been better.

No SA this season but there is self-harm.

If you haven't started the series yet, I'd just recommend the uncut version since it does make more sense and adds more context to some scenes.

The short version is fine on its own in my opinion because it covers the main storyline fully, but the uncut version is definitely worth it too if you're interested in the side characters' stories or just extended scenes. For example there's a little bit more focus on the girls in the uncut version and the side ships, and PhunNoh have longer scenes together but nothing that changes the story drastically.
