I'm in the same space with this that I'm in with My Gear and Your Gown, it's meh but then there are aspects of it that keep me interested? It's weird. I really do like Solo and Gui's chemistry, from the comments I'm probably one of the only ones haha but I really like their subtlety. There's nothing grand about their expressions or gestures, but that almost makes it even better? Maybe it's because we've had so many series with the full-on intensity of emotion, which is also great, but I think its nice to see something quieter every now and then. But I will say their dialogue...or lack thereof, is very basic which makes them come across as very basic and stilted. It's a strange dynamic. Especially because, for me, they definitely have the "honey eyes" butterfly inducing energy in their scenes together that could make you believe the characters do feel something strong (if confusing to Gui) for each other. Or maybe it's just Nut lol he definitely has an intense gaze. Solo has pretty much accepted it from the beginning but I kind of like that Gui has been hesitant, I think I would be mistrusting of such an intense "love at first sight" type of emotion as well, and I think he does play that off.

Completely skipping Kim and the doctors, it's too ridiculous. And while I like the idea of Phu and Khao the reality of them is a little disconnected. I'm waiting to see how their story goes. I feel like I'm still just waiting for things to develop/take-off and we're halfway through! Which has even more strangely been my issue with the majority of the series running right now.

they wrote this a year ago, likely after him coming off LBC (the first season) which got a lot of people excited about his future work. LBC was (and still is) one of the most popular BL we've had. When it blew up, it put him on the map for a lot of people even though he'd already directed Make It Right. Things have gone down hill from there.

Something should be made clear. Rape isn't a kink. Fantasizing about rape isn't a kink. Rape has nothing to do with the BDSM community which promotes very healthy and deep structures of consent in play. Depictions of actual rape that are misconstrued as BDSM play are extremely problematic. Fantasies about willing surrender, dominance, power, control, yes, but rape is about the taking of consent and deliberate inducement of fear and hurt from the perpetrator to the victim for sexual arousal. Very different things. Fantasizing or enjoying rape performed on yourself or others is typically caused by some underlying form of trauma or issue that has yet to be worked through, it isn't healthy.

I don't know why people are so quick to normalize the lack of seeking healing professional help when they are experiencing concerning mental paths. It's not to say someone is psychotic or sick, it just means your brain is connecting with something it probably shouldn't as a coping mechanism. I find it really interesting that people who actively enjoy reading, watching, or experiencing rape culture (not power play) spend so much time trying to actively convince others (and themselves) that it's perfectly normal and ok. I don't think there's anything wrong with considering there may be underlying issues that might be triggering the act of seeking it out and finding enjoyment in it.

I keep vacillating between this being "meh" and it catching my attention (I feel like this is a chronic New project syndrome). By far the most interesting character to me is Pure, and I love his friendship with Waan. I'm not convinced by this, but I'm still watching so there is that haha.

I'm up in the air about this. The plots are definitely different and (surprisingly) sound interesting, but since the cast is a boyband and I'm assuming this is to get their name out there, I'm hesitant about what the final product will be like. I guess we'll have to wait and see...

Interesting plot for sure, I'm curious.

Wow, that's interesting! I didn't know that.

After watching the trailer for this I'm really excited now. This was an "I'll wait and see" series for me originally but now I'm really looking forward to it. I've heard the novel is really good so I'm going to try to fit in reading it before it releases. Looks like Fall is the season for Thai BL right now haha

Well the amount they spent on production was immense (over 1.5M USD) so I'm hoping they actually surprise everyone and do something really good haha I'm going into it with an open mind and excited to see Kim, Cop, and Bas reprise the roles I loved them in, I'll keep my expectations low from there.

We have a release date, yay! Supposedly the budget for this was astronomical considering typical BL budgets, so I guess we'll see. I'm going into it not expecting much and just enjoying the fact that we'll get Kim, Copter, and Bas back into similar roles to their 2Moons characters, so hopefully it's a little bit of closure for those of us who mourned the loss of seeing them close-out the original series hah. I've read some of the novel (which wasn't translated all that well) and the story is quite different even though there are similarities, it'll be interesting to see how they take this on.

Not a sequel. This was a fanfiction that the writer based off the same universe of 2Moons which is why some of the names are similar but different. It's not technically connected to 2Moons at all, so they were able to get away with basically re-casting the OG 2Moons actors in the roles they originally played (I like to think of it as a little bit of snarky shade the company chose this particular storyline lol but that's just me). That's why the story veers from 2Moons. For example in this story Phai (Pha) leaves Wayu (Wayo) behind without explanation from the very beginning (similar to how Godt left the OG series) which is why there are new love interests. People are speculating that he will actually end up with Thanu (who was a senior medical student ahead of both Wayu and Phai who graduated) but I haven't read far enough into the novel to know how it ends. The story also very heavily revolves around Mark (Ming) and Krit (Kit), who are the leads. It's definitely different. Also, there is no way they would have, reached out to Chiffon_cake (2Moons author). They didn't end on good terms after the first season.

After watching the teaser I'm already so invested. This looks like it's going to be really poignant, heartfelt, and touching. The production and script already seem so strong! I can't wait.

I hope they do the story justice, it's really intriguing but is also dealing with some heavy themes, like split personality disorder and the effects that can have on someone's life and happiness.

This is really interesting, I hope they're able to develop it. I also hope they do the storyline justice as they're dealing with some heavy topics, like split personality disorder and the effects it can have on someone's life and happiness.

Ok went in not expecting much and came out with probably one of my favorite characters ever haha. I love Oil so much, and it's about time there was a lead character like him. I love how fiesty he is and how he's so unapologetically himself. The plot outside of Oil and Tan's story is a little confusing but I think it's quite a bit to do with the subbing (even though I'm not complaining since it's much appreciated) and the Director's cuts. Overall pleasantly surprised as this wasn't on my radar at all!

I liked the first episode a lot, I'm excited for this.

Maybe I can help by using your last metaphor. You said, "it's like I'm telling people that the sky looks blue from here and all I'm hearing back is everyone insisting on it not being orange." The reason I disagreed is because you're insisting on saying "I'm saying the sky looks blue" but you're actually saying "the sky may look blue but it's actually different shades of orange if you dissect it" so everyone is vehemently saying "the sky isn't orange, period. Why are you trying to pass it off like it is?" It probably is your phrasing, and I'm sorry if you're being misunderstood but I don't think you are. In your saying I'm telling people the sky is blue but they're all coming back to me and saying the sky isn't orange, that phrase in itself to me means you don't understand that you're not actually saying what you think you're saying. People keep telling you the sky isn't orange because you're insinuating it is even if you think you're not. Speaking in metaphor is so roundabout sorry if that was more confusing.

If multiple people are coming away with the same understanding, I'm pretty sure the problem doesn't lie with how they're interpreting what you're saying....but what you're actually saying. You're literally sitting there writing paragraphs in support of rape culture, is there no self-awareness there? I don't understand how that's not coming across at all, or why there's so little understanding of why people are so disturbed by what you're saying. In my opinion there is zero debate on this, zero, and it's frankly alarming to see someone trying to debate it.

I guess I prefer both Tin and Can to be more feisty. There was also a humorous element to their dynamic that I feel like is missing with this series, Can basically taking the piss out of Tin was something I really enjoyed and I think showed him not to take himself or things too seriously. Their story-line is dragging imo, we've had zero plot development after six episodes focused on them from last season where they barely had any screen-time. What's the point of dragging it out further if nothing is different other than a lack of chemistry between the two of them? There hasn't actually been any character development, zero, and I at least expected that within 6 episodes. We have Tin vacillating between being unhinged and being a complete doormat. Then Can or Plan or both being so uncomfortable it just leaves me on edge as a viewer. I can't enjoy watching a love story when one side feels forced. The one scene that felt like a massive improvement to me was the scene where Can is angry at Tin for trying to buy his affection with the phone. I'm not saying their plot in season 1 was perfect, it was passable at best, but this being somehow even worse to me is wholly unexpected. Someone early on when this series was announced commented that TinCan couldn't carry an entire series, I disagreed but now I'm starting to think they were right. It's great you're enjoying it, different strokes and all that.

As far as I know I think it's translated on WattPad or at least partly translated, though I would...probably read the warnings about it before attempting to read it, just in case. For anyone who may have issues with rape/torture it could be pretty triggering.
