I see episode 1 has returned to YT but without the sex scene. Now I wonder if the other episodes will be cut pre-release

Yes was coming to say the same thing. Just watched Close Friend 1 & 2 and I kept getting distracted because I was constantly thinking they need to play brothers in a series.

I thought they actually had some similar features, I think their mouths are similar and their general face shape. I don't know how else to describe it but they feel the same as well!

I think the Thai BL industry suffers from 'Mass production' in that they saw it was something that was popular and now they just push out series after series. Which I guess means they don't always have the time to make sure the script is the best, they just want to get stuff out.

You know a couple of episodes in and it's not bad but it's not good either. It's kind of sat at the 'Meh' stage for me. I'm watching it and will continue to watch it but I'm not worried about what day the episode releases like other shows. Episode 2 was released 2 days ago and I've only just watched it. (I guess this one wasn't as racey by YouTube Standards as it remains on the site unlike Ep 1!)

To be honest it's pretty much on par with what I expected from the trailer. I saw people getting super hyped from the trailer and I did wonder if I was missing something and had we watched the same trailer because I wasn't getting the hype.

I'm interested in the storyline although the pacing is slightly off, lots of posing with hands in pockets and 'mafia' music as well :) But I liked Ton in Y-Destiny so lets see how he does and of course Sammy my beloved is here to!

You know what, I love this! It's just a bunch of guys doing silly things to make you laugh. And sometimes that is all you really need.

I love the fact you can see quite a few parts where they were obviously improvising and so it's just them being themselves, the over acting in parts for the comedy value is also gold.

Of the 6 guys I know all of them except Kacha, I've never watched his shows but I am sold on him and I'll go back to watch them. His 'straight guy' routine to the rest of the comedy is brilliant.

Zani and Noon are so funny!

Release Date is 29 June on iQIYI I guess we will find out if it's geoblocked then :) But Wabi Sabi don't normally Geoblock. Guess it will be up to iQIYI

I'm with you on that. I had notifications from this post and actually dreaded coming to read them as so much of the comment section has been negative. But this thread had a rather nice back and forth

And most BL's are kinda fluffy with some angst set in high school or colleges but if you want something different 'Not Me' is also awesome.

Book wise yes that's where it happens so I'm guessing ep 8 will have that discussion. I hope it is had because it does need to be addressed within the series.

Also it's where the book hits 18+ territory although not particularly graphic and apparently a notification went out to say make sure you have your YouTube set to 18+ for ep 8 (I've haven't seen the notification, just reference to it on other platforms)

So true about the BL pacing. I'm always like dude why does the seme need to have some super secret that you have at least 10 opportunities to tell but you are going to hold it until the last minute! :)

It does cause me to get frustrated with the Uke because I just want them to stand up for themselves.

But I always hold judgement until the series ends because I like to see how things are addressed.

How many comments in this section are about Lian saying he didn't love Kuea in the first episode? Has no one here ever said something out of anger that they later regret?

It's not a major spoiler but just in case someone doesn't want to know I've put it under the cut. The pacing of the series is pretty close to the book and the issue does get addressed of why he said it so I am hoping it will in the series since it's such a moment of communication. And timing-wise I would expect it to pop up in ep 8. So fingers crossed.

I think people are just being impatient with the storytelling. No point in having 12 episodes if they tell you everything in the first 2 or 3.

Semantic Error is a must! :)

Good to know. I hadn't seen that. Just had a look and the special episode is listed under the La Forte (uncut-iQiyi VIP) schedule but not under The Series (cut-TV version) schedule so guess it will only be on iQiyi

Nooooooooooooooooooo!

Well hopefully it will distract you from the fact there is no episode :)

I just want to take this moment to remind you all to start psyching yourselves up to the fact there is a 2-week wait between episodes 2 and 3! No episode on 16 April. Prepare, prepare, prepare! :)

It's up to yourself if you watch it or not but in all honest I don't think there will be much difference between the you of today and the you of a month from now. So I would just crack on and watch it with the rest of us :)

There is an official translated copy into English on the MEB site (actually translated by Bible who is playing Vegas). I've not brought it myself as it's about £20/$20 which to me is far to much for an e-book, that is Hardback Book prices.

I spent most of Colour Rush thinking he looked like a younger version of Ok TaecYeon :) They should play brothers in something
