Certainly, it was well produced. While I appreciated the storyline tension between Teh and Oh-Aew, I didn't feel their chemistry all that much. (I felt it from Teh, but not Oh-Aew.)
And sorry, but Teh's ugly crying was just too much, too often (adorable as he is). Grow a set, Bambi!
More than that, the longer-than-an-hour episodes dragged on quite a bit. I found myself looking at the clock... a lot.
I did enjoy it and appreciated much of the message. It's an 8.0 from me.
some people don't want to play around. Some want a stable long term relationship. She obviously is a "serious"…
Fair enough. Not everyone is the same, that's for sure. I guess I'm speaking from my own experience: when I was first dating, I was always searching for "Mr. Right" and always ended up disappointed/brokenhearted. Finally, I took the pressure off myself and decided to just give guys a chance, without that huge expectation of having to find "The One." Once I did that, "The One" actually came into my life.
You know what? I don't see why Pearl has to commit to anyone at this point!
From what I gather, dating a girl would be her first time doing so. So why can't she just date women and have fun, with no strings attached? Just let whoever she dates know that she's not necessarily looking for a serious commitment... yet.
Pearl... you deserve to have some fun. Take the stress off of yourself!
I'm not Thai, I've only visited Bangkok once, about a year ago, for five days. I didn't necessarily witness outward…
You're not speaking ignorantly at all. In fact, I think it's great that you have questions. As for Bangkok, I felt completely safe the whole time I was there, even walking around late at night (and bear in mind, it's even larger than New York City). Not even a hint of a problem.
Thai people are very polite and friendly toward visitors. No, I don't speak Thai, other than a few basic phrases. Most service workers speak at least a little English and many public signs are written in English.
Just like in some Thai BLs, I saw a fair number of transgendered people, including a desk worker at my hotel. Straight people are generally tolerant. I didn't see any outward hostility and would have been very surprised if i had. The closest was a woman taxi driver who bluntly asked me if I was looking for "boom-boom" with a lady. When I said no, I only date men, she got a surprised look and asked "Why?" I replied "Why not?" And then she just let it go and changed the conversation.
I'd say it's exactly what Folk said at the end: "Straight people are fine with it unless it affects them directly."
I was in Bangkok the week between Christmas and New Year's, and really enjoyed it. One warning: the heat was INTENSE. Every day it was about 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 Celsius) and really, really humid. So it's difficult to walk around during the day for prolonged periods of time. Carry lots of water and avoid any tight fitting clothes!
Anyone here from or lived in Thailand.. I know the LGBT+ community isn't as widely acceptable as it is here in…
I'm not Thai, I've only visited Bangkok once, about a year ago, for five days. I didn't necessarily witness outward homophobia (I'm gay), but I did notice that the gay scene isn't nearly as large as I would have expected for a city its size. Bars were more or less constricted to one area of the city and, while crowded on a weekend, sat back away from the open streets.
It all had sort of a "let's just not talk about it " vibe.
I'm going to write my comments in a review, momentarily. Suffice it to say that this started out with so much promise. It should have been the BL of the year but, sadly, went off the rails.
Ummmm... Nope! I want to erase the last part of that episode out of my mind. Never make drunk decisions, if I…
I hear you. The only thing is that when you make "drunk decisions," well... you're drunk, so it's not a coherent decision. Karleen is probably regretful for having done that. I know I would be.

"MY EXTRAORDINARY is a tender story about innocence, friendship, the beauty of awakening desire, acceptance and how time heals all wounds."
IT IS A COMPLETE LIE.

That is all.

Overall, I liked the series as more or less pleasant. Nothing terrible, nothing particularly memorable, either.
