Went to follow it, realized I was already subbed lmao! It used to be called LoveByChanceSeries but now its more appropriately named after their studio. I can't wait!!! :D

Oh I hope not! And if he does I hope he gets redeemed because I love that guy! Xia De was the only one at first standing up for Yu Xi Gu, he's a nice guy. I can understand jealousy causing people to do stupid things but I really hope Xia De doesn't do anything bad cause I really like the guy!

I noticed this too, but also just before Hao Ting walks in, you can see clearly Xia De smirking while watching Yu Xi Gu. At first, I thought he had a crush on Hao Ting in the beginning of the series, but its plain to see who he likes now lol! Ugh still I feel bad for him, he's what I like to call the "good twin" (although his brother has been much nicer recently) and he always kinda stood up for Yu Xi Gu. He's a kewl guy and I can't help but feel bad for him.

Maybe skinship is an improper word because I'm not talking about "bed scenes". Not against them but my argument is for what you said, intimate moments like small pecks, hugging, ect. Things that aren't overtly sexual and more gestures of love and affection. Exactly thank you, even Love Sick had more intimacy and it was an innocent love! TharnType comes from the LBC universe and if there is one thing I've learned is that the LBC universe does NOT de-sex us gays/bis lmao! OMG I love that show! I love seeing hate conquered by love and especially the transformation of Type from a homophobe into a gentler person. I like that the LBC universe isn't afraid to have characters that say "I AM GAY!" Finally! No more "I'm a man that loves a man" tip-toeing cowardice! :D

I watch because I love Tay and New, I don't hate the series I just dislike the lack of romance/intimacy IN A ROMANCE! Cute ways of talking or looking at each other only works for a while, then it gets boring.

I've made the argument that GL doesn't get enough attention even though I'm gay and personally wouldn't be into it BUT I support it. Exactly, double standards.

So what was KMA rated at? Same couple, continuation of the same story and yet different standards? And KISSING, even small pecks, gets a show a more adult rating? Wow, I guess there are some things the US does better because that's lame.

Yeah, bromance is the kind of thing they do in China because of censorship involving homosexuality so when I see Thai BL go that route I'm like "wait a minute, the pioneers are sailing back home!" In other words I feel like its a step backwards from the openness they have shown in many other Thai BL. Exactly, directors that are only interested in numbers and too cowardly to be more expressive.

Totally agree! And the series has me invested completely! I love it! I love the casting choices after watching the series up to this point, haha yes Mild turned out to be better than I expected playing No. Mew is amazing and Gulf has totally won me over! :D

Lol understandable.

Hear hear, and I thought that the director of DBK was being a cold fish haha!!! I look at it this way, I'm gay and I don't think showing intimacy is insulting. In fact its MORE insulting when self-righteous people try to de-sex us haha!

After hearing the director call 2moons 2 basically porn, fuck the this director and their prudish homophobia.

I'm sick of the BL depicting gays as cute fragile objects to be treated with kids-gloves when in fact gays are very sexual by-and-large. Watch homophobic heteronormative Chinese "BL" then if you hate seeing icky gay people show intimacy. Oh and how would I know? Well I dunno, maybe because I'm GAY! You could always live in a nunnery if you cannot handle human sexuality puritan. Seriously, I wonder if you'd complain if this was a straight couple. No one is telling you how to think, we are countering your prudish BS. This isn't a story about asexuals, you are grasping at straws. I'm sick of people trying to de-sex gay romance and treat us gays like we should be more reserved. Don't wanna offend the homophobes!

I could sit here all day listing them, a quick search for straight Asian dramas with skinship/kissing scenes reveals that. Thai people aren't prudes and yet you make it sound like they are. The only prudes are the homophobic network executive corporate money barons who only care about the bottom line and keeping people in a Victorian, puritanical societal mindset because they don't like the most NATURAL thing in human life - love and displays of affection. Romance is a mature genre, it was created for adults by adults. If their hands are tied about "how much gayness" they can show, then this network isn't nearly as pro-gay as I thought it was. I don't know about you, but I'm not satisfied with the double standards placed on same-sex romance. Fact is that if this was a straight drama they wouldn't be so damn coy unless it was a drama written for high schoolers. Tay is 28, New is 27 I think and this franchise had a far more mature theme in KMA. I'm going to look up GMMTV policy because I've seen sex scenes, kissing and even RAPE depicted on their shows. Oh and violence, but violence is okay while romantic love is a no no, especially that icky gay shit. It's a double-standard and society already treats gay people (by and large) lesser and instead of depicting us like the sexual beings we humans all are, they decided to go the China route and barely even mention it and only tease it. Its a step backwards for gays and bis.

Lol yeah I just feel disappointed. Do I still enjoy watching Tay and New in DBK of course! I love those guys to pieces but whats worse is I know they can sell us an AWESOME kiss scene and we might not get that with DBK. To hear that there might only be one (or none) kiss scenes in the entire series is a stepback from KMA imo. I waited for this after first hearing about it a long while back and now it seems that instead of the semi-mature romance that I had before with KMA I get this kid-gloves cliche no-gay drama. This is why I probably will no longer watch established couple sequels anymore, they are always devoid (with some exceptions) of intimacy. I watch ROMANCE for the ROMANCE.

I'm gonna rant so bear with me. This kinda feels like a heteronormative Chinese-censored series compares to KMA. So I read ahead... and my gay heart aches, I waited a year for this! Thanks dipshit director. Straight people always get their straight kisses in their straight romances, but us people in same-sex relationships NOPE! Nope nope no one wants to see icky gay kissing. So I and others want kiss/cuddling scenes, then someone says, "what you want is porn" fuck those people! That is so damn homophobic to assume a gay/bi kiss = porn. Again what about straight romance? If it weren't for the fact that this was TayNew I'd be out by now. Fucking hate being a minority, even the entertainment that's supposed to appeal to me feels like it had to "toe the line" with the gayness. There's my rant, I wouldn't be so damn angry if people were more understanding of WHY its important to have kiss scenes LIKE EVERY HETEROMANCE HAS! Still the actors are awesome and they are doing great with what they got. The director lives in a cold shower in a studio of ice.

Oh please with that right-wing buzzword of "triggered". Hey, yeah gay guy here. Queer as Folk bored me and I like this series. You don't speak for ALL gays. Seriously, you attack an entire group of people like fujoshis who just happen to like gay romance. You might say "fetishization!" Then I'd say "Kink shaming!" You don't like the series then fine, why attack those who do?

I think he does, making him not really that gay lmao!

Ok I didn't expect that lol! Even seeing the previews from last week that took me by surprise in a VERY good way! Mew and Gulf were using a little bit of tongue!!! Great actors, awesome characters! One thing I've noticed about the LBC universe is that the relationships develop earlier on in the series then most BL and I love it! No dragging it out to the last episodes! We get to enjoy their happiness even more!!! Mew and Gulf truly bring their characters to life and are so good together as an acting team! TharnType is quickly becoming one of my favorite series!

Lol of course there are exceptions haha! OMG I just watched the Effect recently. I was impressed how they took the issue of rape VERY seriously, but I cannot watch it again because it was so disturbing. I only watched it because it has Yacht in it. OMG I freaking loved his character Bright and the other friend Pramote! If you ever watch it you'll know what I mean, they are the absolute best friends anyone could have! Still won't watch it again though, too disturbing for my taste.

Hmmm, in Theory of Love (which I also liked very much OFFGUN!!!!!) lol anyways in TOL there is FAR more tension and drama between the so-to-be lovers and in He's Coming To Me most of the drama is external to the so-to-be lovers. Perhaps there not being drama between the lovers perhaps makes it less interesting to you? I'm only assuming.
