I'm an opinionated guy :D :P

Yeah, it's like Bright from Together With Me, always preying on younger people instead of finding someone around their own age. Sure, if an older person falls in love with a younger that's of legal age then fine. But if the senior ONLY goes for young ones, they come off as a predator to me.

India has double-standards. They don't have a problem with "third genders", which are basically crossdressing males who sleep with other men but for some reason its not considered gay. But if two cis-gendered males fall in love, that's a no no lol. Its just like the African nations that allow lesbianism, but don't allow gay males to be together, its NOT FAIR!!! I think most homophobia comes from sexism and the idea of "gender roles".

I love uniforms, that way no one gets made fun of for what they are wearing and you never have to worry about your school wardrobe haha!

I love GMMTV! I subbed to them on YouTube as they post series with engsubs from time to time! I've been watching Kiss me Again on their channel since I can only find BL cuts on Dailymotion and not full episodes.

I hope you enjoy the series! I just re-watched it and liked it even more than I remembered!

I think that's why hazing in Thailand is better than other places it because its regulated. In Thailand it seems the hazings are structured into academic/team-based activities. Hazings in the US tend to be things like humiliation (most common), beatings (rare but it happens), sexual favors/harassment (uncommon but common enough to be a problem). When I was in high school I usually avoided hazings but a classmate of mine got beat with 2x4s, that was probably one of the worst instances at our school. I got cornered in the locker room a couple times after I came out. But most of my experiences were good ones, only a few kids were really bad at my school. But I would have loved to have grown up in the Thai educational system! It would have been a better experience and probably would have made me a better student.

LMAO this is why I watch a LOT of BL so I don't wear out my two favorites, SOTUS and My Bromance. I'm rewatching Waterboyy the Series because I adore Thitipoom Techaapaikhun and love seeing him in BLs! I see so many familiar faces in these BLs, its like an extended family! :D

When you do get a chance to watch it I hope you enjoy it! Just go into this BL knowing that "It will never be as good as SOTUS so I must judge it separately to be fair" lmao!

I love movies and rarely read books (although I read a bunch of other things) so I understand you, from the other side of things lol :P.

Its weird how hazing is structured into a positive experience in Thailand. The way they do it may be hard, but it teaches teamwork, friendship, reliability, and I love the senior-junior relationship so someone always has a friend/confidant. Hazing is basically bullying in the US which is why its illegal in most states. If only we had the same type of hazing that was featured in SOTUS! I love the faculties and how they have different areas of expertise. I think the public education system is better structured in Thailand, at least imo :P.

Yes! Kongpob is cute as hell, especially when he smiles and Arthit with his shyness, pretending to be annoyed is so adorable! I could fawn over them all day lmao!

I hope you enjoy the series! I found it pretty fun and I'm about to watch it again myself! Still like SOTUS better but that one is SO hard to beat!

Sure I'll check out Doukyuusei when I get the chance! :D Pretty much all my favorite animes are done by Hayao Miyazaki. My childhood favorite by him is Totoro and Spirited Away is my latest favorite from Miyazaki.

Ahhhh I knew it! Actual friends in real life, makes a lot of sense! :P And he was ACTUALLY his junior? That's awesome! LMAO if only they were dating IRL too! :P

So true! Arthit is often so shy about his true feelings, even to Kongpob who he loves, trusts and is probably most comfortable with. But when it really matters, his feelings shine through and light up Kongpob's face with that cute smile of his that melts ice!

Waterboyy the Series is better than the movie in my opinion but both are worth watching and have good endings if I remember the movie correctly. You'll see a few familiar faces in Waterboyy the Series since you've watched SOTUS and Kiss Me Again. Waterboyy the Series also has my favorite theme song for a BL series :P, its called Proong Nee Took Wun (Every Tomorrow) by Victor.

Starsappear - I love a BL with intense feeling and even sadness as long as it doesn't end that way. I like happy endings lol.

I love the way Kongpob smiles when Arthit is being shy/evasive/cute. They are probably the best BL couple ever! The chemistry between them is so real I wouldn't be shocked if they are best friends in real life!

Tew and Dae were adorable together, I'm hoping they make another SOTUS! I'd love to see the relationships that didn't get to develop on SOTUS S form into something bigger. And poor Aim still didn't really have an opportunity to get with May! Lol that was the straight romance in the series I was rooting for :). I love
Thitipoom! First saw him in Waterboyy :D

I haven't seen Krist's new mini series yet but I'll have to check it out! :D

Ron08mm - Well now that's a rarity! :P May I ask what you don't like about the couple?

This I was happy to see! Kiss the Series only really showed their relationship in the later episodes and even though I still enjoyed the series, I come for the BL haha.

Very true, but I guess in hindsight I'm glad that Su Hai Qing and Chen Ping Jun didn't end up together because Ping Jun can do SO much better in the way of Pinky or even Jimmy. I just felt so bad to see him hurt, the actor did an amazing job and I hope to see Tim Huang in many more series/films!!! All the actors did well but Tim was my favorite by far! :D

#TeamPingJun

He's the best!

I agree alot with what you said, lol and I've commented too much on this series already so I'll make it short :P

Jimmy -- Playful, funny, cute, passionate, childish, crass, foolish
Yan Fei -- Stoic, professional, cold, detached, meddling, homewrecker
Ping Jun -- Honest, compassionate, very cute, dedicated, clingy, naive, stubborn
Hai Qing -- Artistic, quiet, distant, dishonest, unfaithful, abusive, uncaring

Jimmy -- Deserves a stable relationship
Yan Fei -- Needs a break as he's on the rebound
Ping Jun -- Deserves a good boyfriend
Hai Qing -- Got what he deserves in the end, which is nothing

After reading your novella I have to say I overall agree, with a few exceptions.

Ping Jun isn't one dimensional. He's an introverted hopeless romantic who pretends to be extrovert with an understandable level of possessiveness given that his boyfriend is a selfish, cheating, lying prick. He is dedicated, passionate, trusting, honest, loving, compassionate and kind. His bright personality is the only thing that kept me watching. I was amazed at his patience for the one he truly loves, even if that person didn't deserve his affections. He put up with SO MUCH BS, I would have kicked Su Hai Qing to the curb.

I found Su Hai Qing completely unlikable, uncaring and unsympathetic. His problems are of his own creation and his arrogance is unbearable. The most condescending, dishonest user and emotional abuser I've seen in a BL in a long time. He's also a sociopath for having ZERO consideration, empathy or regret for what he did to Ping Jun and what he put him through. I find him absolutely abhorrent, a disgusting human being with the only redeeming quality being that he's a talented artist. Its interesting, most artists have deep emotions and thoughts. Su Hai Qing is as shallow as a dry aqueduct and will (as was at the end of the series) be ultimately alone.

I find Yan Fei dismissable and not all that interesting. I don't honestly know what Su Hai Qing see's in him that isn't better found in Ping Jun. Ping Jun is nicer, more affectionate, less rapey, cuter, more honest, more faithful and is ACTUALLY in love with Su Hai Qing for some reason. I don't think Su Hai Qing is capable of love and as for Yan Fei, I think he was just on a rebound after his troubles with Jimmy.

Jimmy is flawed and I understand Yan Fei not wanting to be with him, at the same time I felt bad for Jimmy because at least his love was apparent where as Yan Fei is aloof.


Su Hai Qing and Yan Fei come off as unfeeling, promiscuous, dispassionate throw-aways who have commitment, honesty and fidelity issues that make it very apparent that neither of them are ready, nor deserve a relationship with anyone. Yan Fei might find someone, but the only person I see Su Hai Qing ACTUALLY falling in love with is himself.

Chen Ping Jun was the perfect boyfriend, I hate the selfishness of Su Hai Qing and how he constantly cheated on, lied to and used Ping Jun. Su Hai Qing should be awarded the title Prick of the Year. The other guy was a variable so I don't hold it against him, but man I HATE, with a passion of HATE, HATE Su Hai Qing! Lmao yeah I was really into this series at first until I could no longer stand the main character. I was hoping, HOPING that the Pink Haired guy would come in a swoop up Ping Jun, but that didn't happen. The ending sucked and so did Su Hai Qing - Asshole of the Century (I gave him a promotion).

Ah alas, another movie/show pushing the harmful narrative that age-gaps are a normal thing in the gay community.

BL Unity Cafe, and so many others, are horrible at labeling things properly. They don't seem to understand that BL = Boy Love = Gay Romance. I hate it when they say something is BL, so I watch it and then get disappointed that I just wasted my time lol. I felt that way with Part Time, I felt that way with Slamdance (which was still good but completely kicked the BL to the side in favor of the other non-interesting couples)

Labeling things as BL when they are not is clickbait and dishonest so I understand the frustration. Rules I use when it comes to BL; First -- I confirm its BL (look up romance scenes/pics on google) Second -- I make sure it wasn't made in China (I want romance, not bromance, happy endings, not sad) Third -- I read reviews about its plot/ending without reading spoilers (mainly to make sure its a feel-good movie at the end).

Grey Rainbow I heard was a great movie but yes its very tragic from what I've heard, my guess is one of the leads dies or something sad like that, so I avoid it lol. After watching One Kiss, I've become very cautious about sad BLs,

One Kiss -- an Italian film -- beautiful movie with a great message and a very powerful ending that made me want to never watch it again. I've never cried so much after watching a movie lol.

Long Time No See is an action BL -- which is rare -- with a good ending and I've watched it 3 times so far :D

I just finished SOTUS for the 2nd time and SOTUS S for the 2nd time haha, Love those series so much! I wish the Tiew and Dae relationship had more airtime on SOTUS S, they didn't even get to kiss :(, I always like a good kiss scene to confirm the relationship, as long as its done well of course lmao

It was a good series about friendship with a few romances that didn't catch my interest. Which is a shame since actors from Waterboyy, Love Sick and SOTUS make appearances. I guess I went into it expecting a BL and was disappointed by my own expectations. But I don't hold it against the series because of my ignorance lol. I don't typically like romances, but I love BL (being a gay person myself I guess its bias haha) BUT I do enjoy the straight romances too like Yihwa and Cho in Bad Romance -- mainly because I think its funny how she thinks he's gay and his undying determination to win her heart is endearing. But I guess at the end of the day I relate more to BL's than straight relationships even though I can find enjoyment in both.

Delayed!!! Arg it's like waiting for My Bromance - Season 2!!!

WOOOOOO!!! The return of Korn and Knock! Korck! Urr ummm Knorn! Ugh that doesn't work... names are all wrong -- they are DOOMED to relationship failure! Can't do couples bracelets then there's no deal! In all seriousness I'm really looking forward to this! :D
