My complaint is not with Thai BLs, or any BLs in general that use product placements as a means to fund their show. I just think GMMTV has gotten too complacent with expecting their viewers to accept this beyond the bounds and confines of good storytelling, that’s what irks me to no end.

Okay, sure? But that’s my complaint, I think, I’m confused now? The multiple, interspersed ads every episode that lend absolutely nothing to the actual story and plot other than promoting a product, they are still part of the actual show, yes? So I’m meant to just differentiate or ignore them? But that’s what I’m trying to say, I’m sick of doing that.

Really though? That’s the objective? To sell me something? Because there are other shows I can watch that want to only “sell” me their story. Again though, that’s on me, I shouldn’t complain about the ride when I stood in line and knew what I was getting on. I’m just venting frustration for wasting my time when I didn't need to. I’m done with making this mistake though, so you won’t hear from me again. Happy watching!

Hugs back at ya!! There is so much to enjoy in the BL world. I’m slightly jealous of you but wishing you the absolute most enjoyment!!

Please
Don’t drink the kool aid!
Sorry, no. “Well placed” commercialism is just a way to make you buy into it even more. But since you know where to buy the pants, you already know that.
I’m an ass though and this is rude of me, it’s on me. I’m just tired of the constant ads and always trying to be sold something, maybe you’ll get there one day too, maybe not. I would be just fine with the whole soy milk scenario if there didn’t have to be a product facing placement during a scene that gave nothing to the overall story to tell me something I didn’t already know.

An okay plot but not so great execution. GMMTV once again making me wonder why I watch all those commercials during their shows. You’re ruining stories to only deepen your pockets. If it is still really necessary for this huge powerhouse to need the advertisement only scenes to survive, then I apologize, but that is not the probable narrative. You keep losing me one BL after another GMMTV. I don’t want fake scenes for product placement promotions. You’re not telling the best BL stories around anymore, so I can do without your constant spam commercialism.

The thing about JBLs is they hook you so good in the beginning that oftentimes you don’t even know how to feel by the end. The promising premise is so good that the execution, even when it falls flat, can still leave you with those feels. I’ve got some high hopes for this one, and also hoping it doesn’t drag out any angst unnecessarily.

How does this keep getting better and better? It could so easily be written off as silly, but somehow they’re just doing it right. I am completely hooked and dangling for more. It must be said for the ML & FL though, they are totally and convincingly selling the swap.

Not an Asian BL, but Heated Rivalry is worth the watch, if you haven’t checked it out already.

But can I also say, that on my malicious side, I will crave for everything your initial reply implied. Screw that tool. I’m just the “fool me twice” kind of person, so screw him if he can’t find the right side, even if after all is said and done. Then I’m seriously and honestly right with you.

I’m with you, whole heartedly, no way should he or the corrupt elders trying to navigate him to their side and to La Ik’s downfall should win in all of this. But you only need a spark to light a fire, and Attorney Kwak, at least to me, is an unknown ember.

You’re completely right, but not always what you see is what you get. You can’t pry only surface level, bullies suck, but why say once a bully, only a bully? If you pigeonhole anyone you have to also expect the surprise. This is a kdrama after all, when is anything ever all that is seems?

I love this, even though I am completely not behind the trope that an idol stalks their fan, this is not something I ever think should be a thing, but the context behind the narrative of this show has me hooked, and guiltily so. Stalking is a complete and total no no, but the idea of loving, appreciating, and supporting someone from afar is a just a yes, at least in my book.

I have complicated feelings for the toxic notion the role reversal of this show presents, but also understand that adoring idols from their desired distance is just good manners. Attorney Maeng has become the legal idol that La Ik needs, regardless of all else, they compliment each other in a way that they currently require, they represent more to each other than idol and fan because they are both and the same.

I am completely sat for this. At the end of the last episode I was all like this is so awesome, if they let Do Wol find out Eun Jo is actually the thief Gil Dong that he has been searching for, like that would be the perfect “at last” moment that could have been drug out but came at the early but exactly right time… but then they body swap?! Wiggity what?! That’s so unexpectedly fabulous and I am so glad I never read the tags to this show, and still haven’t. I love the unexpected and this has got me now glued to my seat in anticipation.

I don’t know what it is really about James and Kad, but I am just all aboard this ship. Wherever this show’s silly love triangle or quadrangle or whatever it is leads, I’m here for it.

This was a really fun watch! 🤗

I’m going to miss this show so much.

This was the absolutely most wonderful second season I could have asked for of Are You Sure. Having watched the first season, more than a few times, there’s always this sort of tinge of sadness from knowing these guys would be gone for a while, and just missing them the whole time. But the second season? It’s nothing but happiness and the joy of them living their lives and us getting to experience a small glimpse into that. I especially love how the crew was part of the show and in essence part of the experience. It showcases the true heart of these two gentlemen and also the dedication and determination of a group of people to create something for others to love and enjoy. I really can’t wait to watch it again and again. For that I am totally sure.

I loved this so much! I’m sad it’s over and I’m really going to miss this.

I loved this so much. I’m going to miss it.
