I suggest you to go back and rewatch Country Boy 1, in particular to the swing scene, and if you still think it is more bromance than BL, I have not much more to say.
I expected an outcry when Mon chose So over Saint but wow. Saint had literally years to act on his feelings, but…
But apart from that, I have Utsukushi Kare and ITSAY/IPYTM déjá vu, where irrespective of whether some people symapthized with a main character's choice or not, they deciced he should be with the other one they chose for him, regardless of his own feelings.
They do not realize you cannot decide rationally who you fall in love with, and they do not realize either it is exactly the same stituation when you love Y, yet your mom comes and tells you should date Z instead, because Z is so nice to you, has such a good upbringing, stable carreer, acceptable social background and anyway she just knows better who is good for you.
I have just realized now I understand Amber's claustrophobia when they were stuck in the storage room with Ah Le, after I have seen how he had been locked up in the toilet.
I mean, while i have heard of the british being mean to foreigners and immigrants - thats not the reason theyre…
I have been living in the UK as a foreigner for a decade, and I can tell you it is a very accepting and receptive country. I have never encountered any incidents ever since I have been here. There are racists and xenophobes, of course, just like everywhere, but it is a happily multicultural society in general.
Am I the only one thinking Mai is probably not Tol's girlfirend, but someone else for him, despite holding hands and common pictures on Facebook? They behave oddly next to each other, they do not seem to be intimate. And there is a mysterious guy behind the story who has some sort of connection to Mai.

I have formed my opinion long ago and I stand by it. I am a western viewer too btw. Huge respect for the exceptions, but that is what I see here every time a complex, symbolic story starts airing where hidden meanings, character developments, motivations should be figured out and analyzed by the audience. I does not even have to be fantasy series. 8 out of 10 fail to understand the narrative.
I hope Thai BL sees the success of this series and consider investing in translating the books and release weeks…
Western BL fans are generally clueless and baffled when Asian dramas use symbolism. They can only handle simple and straightforward stories and scripts which spoonfeed the audience. This show was about a lot more than just a romance, but they scarcely cared.
And now I completely understand the Little Prince reference. Just like the way Little Prince being bitten by the snake was a death by facade only, so is Tofu's death. Tofu did not die. This was a way for him to return to his original form as Teddy Bear just as the Little Prince returned to his planet.
They do not realize you cannot decide rationally who you fall in love with, and they do not realize either it is exactly the same stituation when you love Y, yet your mom comes and tells you should date Z instead, because Z is so nice to you, has such a good upbringing, stable carreer, acceptable social background and anyway she just knows better who is good for you.
But I still want follow-up/second season.
There's a lot more to tell about their story.
I hope he refers to returning to his parents and it is not foreshadowing something like terminal illness.
