I don't understand the people who rumble about the age gap. Thailand is literally a country, where Western sex tourists of age 70+ jump on 12yo boys 'n girls. No one even gives a #### about that. But when a 20yo goes with a 40yo, people totally freak out.

The range of verifiable trueness can be between 1 - 100 %; I have already seen writers who just claim that it is true. I have written pieces on "true events". It is, in fact, also a legal issue. If it is too true one might get into legal issues. Biographical/autobiographical stories would be considered as always true, but even then many authors (or filming directors) throw a bit of fiction into.

I don't know what's true and not here. I guess, the actors and the director will talk about this series finished.

You can search and filter "time travel" and "gay character"/"gay relationship". Unfortunately, there is no "BL" or similar keyword, but many of the results are actually BL style. History 1, 609 Bedtime Story, Tinted with you, Once again. If you play a bit with the tags you might get more results.

I guess the director is still sedated after he realised two weeks ago what he had produced here and went into a total mental meltdown.

"Based on true events" or similar can have a wide meaning. It does not necessarily mean that what we see in the series is what happened in reality. It just means that the writer/developer was inspired by something real. What this "real" is, we cannot say. Since the title is "The Promise", my guess would be that this promise is real. Unless the writer/director/developer reveals it, we will not know...

I just finished it. I found it okay. It is nothing special. And it is not BL, though one of the leads is gay and has a crush on the other. It has a happy end, though (for the lead, maybe not for the viewer).

It reminds me of "Coffee Shop" with Boy/Tod from 2022. Only that there they solved issues with talking and coffee, here with talking and ice cream.

Episodes are around 20 minutes, so all in all a bit more than 1 1/2 hours. I recommend to watch it. If you are only in BL, maybe it won't be your cup of tea. The focus is really and the girl-boy relation.

Well.. one year later. It just popped up on my YT: https://youtu.be/Lt5DbD2HQ3s
Maybe this helps others. Hope you have found it and watched it already!

Found the last episode a bit dull. ForceBook fans probably had their share in cuteness, but everything looked too artificial. No naturalness. That's not really due to ForceBook's acting, but of the story. It did not really give more space for them to act. The kisses looked uninspired. I guess, they're doing their job: two straights pretend to be gay.

Some critised Cher's overexpressive behaviour. I have worked with "interns" and met now and then people like him. Can be sometimes hard to work with.

The different plots were not really solved. Sexual abuse and suicide are things too heavy to just cancel them out in a subordinate clause in the final. The message is clear: The father gets punished because the superrich took it on and his super-well paid lawyer handled it. They should at least solved that issue to show the average Thai viewer that there can be a kind of justice. In reality, most Thai won't go to the police, because doing so is in vain.

In sum, this is much better than Enchante. I liked that it was comedy, but did not pretend to be serious. Light and fluffy, though I probably won't rewatch it any time soon.

So, I made it to the end. I had to take long breaks to prevent my blood pressure shooting up. The good thing is: It ends next week. Yeah, I know, a lot of Cooper fans are sad. But let's say this: It can only be better for him in the future.

Watched it now to the end. Well, I think, your comment summarizes it all...

What makes this disappointing is that they have just swapped the actors, not the characters. Gun is not playing like Gun in MSP, but as Tinn in MSP. So the fun is gone. It would have been much better to have a rebellious school president against this meticulous rule citing music club leader. That was what I was looking for. Now it is just the same story, just the same characters but played by different actors.

I am 28 minutes in. Does it get better at the end?
This looks like random scenes now. I won't even talk about that mental abuse of a boyfriend, but a cooking competition? Nothing makes any sense any more...

Nope. Actually I just came here to ask if someone can tell me what this all about. I do not see any progress, nor a plot, somehow. I cannot understand why all others seem to love this so much. Not that I want to say that this is bad. I just cannot find any content, nor message, in this. And to be absolutely frankly honest: I neither like Jeng, nor Pat... The first is somehow creepy, the second annoying.

I just saw their Instagram post. I am biased about that. Seems to be the latest trend now to do. I wish them good luck for that.

I think, this is not BL but a Lakhorn, so there is probably not a shipping couple. The constellations arise and evaporate with every twist in the plot. And I agree, Pitch seems to have his own agenda here, which makes him a bit unpleasant.
I also do not really understand what the plot is. Looks like some of those artist colonies. I once was invited to stay in one. But was kinda boring, haha. Given that this is a drama, I am sure there will be some surprising twists. I still enjoy this so far, though I don't know why...

I think I had never a series which dropped so much within 1-2 episodes. So much in love was nonsense from the start; Physical Therapy at least did not take a free fall. Past-Sengers is just awful. Have they changed the screenwriter from episode 8 to 9? But ep 10 is even worse. Was the writer bored or busy and let his/her 10yo niece finish the script? The episodes are not even funny, nor do they actually raise the claim of being it. I could also start now discussing that Bamee's amnesia isn't even consistent. Why does he have this positive attitute to his mother? Didn't they hate each other until Kiew helped both reconcile? This is now so awful that I really think of dropping it, though there are only 2 episodes left.

It cannot be Thai, because such vowel clusters do not follow Thai rules. The novel uses the French La Pluie, but has also a Thai title. It's not that obvious on the first glimpse, I know.

Thank you!

I will try to find the teaser then. Not really a fan of Krist, though, but fantasy sounds interesting.

Is it the series which often shows up as "My precious" in some teasers? My Favorite would be better. The first one reminds me more on Lord of the rings and I am not ready enough to see Gollum fall in love with Frodo.
