I declare this my personal BL of the Year 2022. This had everything I look for in a BL series. Only a small flaw (see my spoiler reply). But despite that personal flaw this was near perfection...

You wrote out exactly my thoughts. Maybe I have just seen too many Thai BL series and am tired of them. The same stories, same tropes and jokes all over again.

Pleng finds out where Yi's parents are and drives there to talk with Yi. He stands in front of the house and rings the bell. Pleng is thinking of what to say. How to say...The door opens. It is not Yi. Who is that, thinks Pleng. What a handsome guy!

Hi, who are you, asks the boy?
i am Pleng. i need to talk with Yi. Is he here?
Yup, he is torturing the epiano with Beethoven's Ode of Dullness. Wait, I get him for you. The boy turns around...
No, wait! It is okay. Forget it. It is not that important. Hey, wanna have a coffee with me? By the way, What's your name? I am Pleng. i am single... Pleng smiles to the boy.

Why get fucked up with Yi's total dullness and weirdness if I can hang out with this super hot hunk here. Maybe I am even becoming a bott for him.

This is how ep 7 should have developed...

Hopefully only ten.

So much in Love, my all-time fav, is a masterpiece compared to this.

I get it that a bunch of people here are totally into Nine. Yeah, his body is nice. And I also get it that the director knows that. That's why Nine drops his clothes every now and then. But, sorry, for me there is no acting. Although the same can be said to all other characters here.

I wonder why the made this series in the first place? Was it just to fill some scenes in between the endless advertisements for local brands?

Rumour has it that some companies even let the brands dictate the scripts, so the plot fits well with the ads. Read something about that on a GMM series.

In horror I realized that this has 12 episodes. It already takes me 3-4 days to watch one episode. I cannot watch them at once. I have to take breaks, meditate, visit my psychotherapist and also consult my Anonymous Bad-Thai-BL-Admirer-Group.

Unfortunately, I am not the type to drop things. I rather sit in horror and get traumatized. Su Su...it is over in 3 weeks!!!

Well, I am not going into prison, haha. I will be back :)

Ok. I follow Jpny01 here, whose post I have seen after I wrote this comment. So, actually, it is already outdated.

You are right, as always. But still...I am sure it is related to that temple story...

I was thinking. I have seen many stories with ladyboys and transgender, transvestites even. All transgenders were transwoman. I cannot remember of one series addressing a female to male transgender. I would actually love to see that addressed. Public opinion is always like "ah, men who become women". The other way should be as normal as the first.

I think, it is about souls. The first two episodes were related to that temple in the mountain and its story. I think it is related to this. Amber said he knows about this. I guess this story is about reincarnation or so. However, that would mean that Wen Wen died already...

I also do not want it to end. Unfortunately, I will not be able to watch the final episode on Sunday. I am not allowed to use electronic devices the next 6 months. I bought the novel yesterday and try to read, but I won't know what happened in the final before mid of October. :((

I revise my opinion of him, actually. Some weeks I defended him, saying he is not a jerk. But I think now, after ep. 11, he is. Nope, he is not an asshole-jerk, but one of those ego-jerks who think, the whole universe is rotating around him. He even says that Tofu is hurt, but he gives a... And I think, even Tofu realised a bit that there is no future between him and Nut. Well, still 3 episodes to go, so maybe I am again wrong...

Being gay, I do not feel well with this new mantra "Love has no gender".
It appears now and then in BL stories and beyond and is celebrated by many as a triumph over old and outdated views on gender and sex.
Anyhow, I feel uncomfortable. My parents tolerate me being gay rather than accepting it. My mother was even waffling that there is a girl, a former classmate, in my age...and unmarried...
I never did the choice of being gay. I never decided it. All I know is that I am fighting my whole life that I am that way because I am such. I know and understand that there are many shades in gender and sexuality. And that for some people it is easy to love all genders. But there are many who cannot. I have never felt attracted to women, never kissed, never had sex, and will never...
Next time, my mother probably will just tell me that I should stop being gay, because love has no gender and I should take a wife...
I find this mantra counteracting to all I have been fighting for in my life.

I don't want to nitpick, but this is not a BL series. A lot of people use "BL" now as a synonym for series with male-male or gay characters. This is a lakorn and so far it totally follows the "unwritten" forms of lakorn. Therefore, the ending is also totally open. There is no "shipped" couple here and no real obligation to end this with Nut-Tofu or any other constellation...

Yes. In the novel Tofu goes back to be a teddy bear.
Anyhow, the lakorn is adapted to the novel, i.e. the director does not necessarily need to follow the whole plot.

Second try. I asked some weeks for an opinion of the novel. I saw it in the bookstore and it also available to buy online. No one replied. However, at the moment, nearly every second sentence is "the novel...".

So. How is the novel? Is it worth to buy and read? Does the lakorn follow the novel so far? I'd appreciate, thank you.

Has anyone read the novel? Is it different from the series? I am thinking of ordering it.

Ah, okay. Thank you.

Did they mention why/how Nueng died ten years ago? Nueng must have been 17-18 years old, an age one just does not die naturally.
I have the feeling there is more behind Nueng and Tharn.

I cannot give you more than that reason. TeddyBear, Secret Crush, Our Days seems to come, but other series are delayed. I guess it depends on the policies of the film companies. Tomorrow would be last day of Songkran.
