It was a podcast. When he accepted the invitation in the middle of a huge controversy, he knew he will be asked and he went anyway! Sorry, but to me, his behavior and lack of solidarity is something that I won't let slide! Meanwhile, ZLH gets dragged all over the place for something that he had absolutely no control over!

He could've stayed silent to support his cast mates! Instead, he just covered his own backside in this roundabout way, just in case things get even worse than how are they now!
Looks is up to the director. ZLH look spellbinding here but it was up to the production team and all the filters…
I'm sorry, but being a minority has nothing to do with being treated like a second class person and being denied basic human rights that the rest of us have since birth! There's nothing "personal" about being able to live like a normal human being!
Besides, Thailand, Taiwan and Nepal there are no counties in Asia where a LGBTQ+ person has the same human and legal rights, including marriage like everyone else! In Japan there are a few prefectures and cities where a civil union can be certified, but same sex partnership is not legal nationwide! Hong Kong recognizes same sex partners for limited benefits.
The series is really enjoyable to watch, with a lovely story, and the actors, my dear man, they're a great match.…
Only the cast is Korean, but the whole production is Thai! Check the the crew and the credits and you'll see! Furthermore, you would never encounter these type of explicit NC scenes in a regular KBL!
I think I tag along (so no brownies)So far ... as for me it's not baaaaad but it's certainly not great.And it's…
I'm so relieved that I'm not the only one who feels underwhelmed about this BL, especially after waiting so long for it!
Honestly, it's the brainless writing that's ruining it for me! No matter how good the actors are, if the script and the plotline reads like a teenage Mary Sue's wet dream while tripping on shrooms! It's just so childish!
I really hope, that things will turn for the better, because Net and JJ deserves much better than this and I really want them to succeed!

Just to be clear, there's NO BL/GL agenda in China, actually quite the opposite! There's no equality and equal rights for the LGBTQ+ people under the regime! There's plenty coercion in every front in the entertainment business and my post wasn't about that issue.
Well, it's just after Friday and I'm here once again and I know, that I'm not going to get any brownie points for my opinion this time around either!
This storyline has so much potential, but so far, the writers are very successful in keeping Nakhun's character at nitwit level and relying on cheap gimmicks instead of adding depth into JJ's role! Again, I have NO issue with the production or with the acting itself! JJ is doing his best to elevate the atrocious script to a palatable piece with his skills and he should get an award for that!
I've been told, that the storyline will turn to a more mature direction soon and honestly, I can hardly wait! I really want to see JJ shine in this series! At least, this episode was a little bit less chaotic and I take that as a good sign! To truly showcase his talent JJ will need an emotionally engaging plotline not a circus clown routine! I'm just worried, that the writer(s) not up to par for that!
I'm also aware of the fact many netizens are satisfied with this series so far and find this type of comedy quite entertaining! Even though, that I am in a very small minority group who needs much more substance than what we've seen so far, I can appreciate many other aspects of this BL, including the cinematography, the costume designs and the all around high quality production!
Also, I'm looking forward to the development of the secondary couple and to all the interactions between Net and JJ in the upcoming episodes! Of course, it's just IMHO, as always! See you all next Friday!

Unfortunately, the BL industry will be their next target! They will legislate new laws to close the loopholes that managed to circumvent the censorship of many projects last year! They're already started prosecuting some actors and suing companies that are linked with BL contents! This is only the beginning I'm afraid!
It’s about time the government intervened, this is a blessing in disguise for the health of actors which includes…
I'm sorry, but it's never about the actors' well being! They will be controlled pretty much the same, but this time it will be more hidden, and will be backed up by the regime to "uphold" traditions, values and whatever catchy and patriotic slogans they could use to justify their thinly veiled political agenda!
Well, my fellow netizens, the Chinese government just made sure that dramas like POJ will be reshaped and sanitized and censored to the bone until there's nothing left just to promote the party's agenda! We might as well start to say goodbye to drama's like this right now! The fantasy world that we've enjoyed so much, got too popular and that's a big no-no! If you overshadow the party in the news cycle for too long, they'll make sure that you're ending up on the chopping block! https://news.mydramalist.com/article/china-tells-c-dramas-to-end-idolization-of-looks-and-apply-xi-jinping-thought-on-culture
I've seen this coming from a mile away! This whole thing started with a comment from an official military account, which was a clear indication of a political agenda! People were getting too happy, enjoying the world of fantasy too much (because it's one of the very few little joy that is left for them) and it became too popular in the Western market, so it must be crushed swiftly! They already tried to censor everything to the bone, but the fantasy world barely took a scratch and kept growing bigger and stronger! In China, nothing supposed to be more popular than the party and it's leaders, so more drastic measures are needed to discourage the masses from escaping into the world of fantasy! We might as well get ready to say goodbye to most of the type of dramas like POJ and the like very soon! Next they will come for the BL industry! They are already prosecuting actors and suing companies! This will be a full scale frontal assault!
BTW, I've had spoiler alert sign right on top of my post already!
Thanks for stopping by and I'm glad that you found my post entertaining!
Maybe, some people might find my post helpful or useful to navigate through all this.
