Well, I'm not really so sure why top/bottom is so important to people but, since Boss calls Mek "husband," I'm assuming Mek is the top. As for Thara/Frong, I have no idea.

I think mom's accent was even more distracting, lol! It seemed like she might an Eastern European speaking English with a thick accent. Not sure why they couldn't have found a native English speaker (Australian, New Zealander, American, Canadian) for the part, but there you have it, lol.
If you're going to conflate fantasy and reality, your BL experience will be miserable. The mission of BL creators…
I believe the demographics of the BL audience is changing all the time. 80% female? Maybe at one point, no longer. Probably closer to 50/50 now. I think the BL writers/producers are seeing this, hence the inclusion of more gay characters.
Nothing wrong with fantasy. It provides an escape from everyday life for EVERYONE.

Please know that BL has a large following of gay men, both young and adult. Check out reaction videos, at least half of them are gay men. Sorry, but "I don't like men, I just like him" is ridiculous and insulting. At least some BL producers have introduced gay leading characters (Korn in TWM, Pete in LBC, Tharn, Pete in DBK, Intouch in UWMA and more), and that hasn't hurt the BL popularity one bit.
So why do gay men watch? Because, after a lifetime of watching almost nothing but heterosexual relationships on screen, BL is as close to featuring and normalizing gay relationships as it gets, other than watching porn. It helps with a feeling of acceptance, something gay people have struggled with their whole lives. For them (which includes me), BL serves a purpose which goes far beyond fetishizing men sleeping together.
I just remembered one plot line that got dumped (and it's the only one I can think of): Ram's dad having an affair with Ram's best friend. Whatever happened with that? (Season 2, maybe... )
This went as well as I could have hoped! (Especially after the trainwrecks of some other BLs this season.) Especially happy the way Ram/King and Mek/Boss ended. As much as I've groaned about Bohn/Duen, their ending was cute. Thara/Frong never excited me all that much (mainly because their storyline was never all that developed), but it's nice that they've left it open ended for a Season 2.
One question: I never heard Bohn tell Duen that he (Bohn) didn't actually kiss Mild. But in the finale, when Bohn said he had no feelings for Mild, Duen's response was "I know." So then... what was all that "Scarlett O'Hara" whining about for the last two episodes? And why didn't Bohn just come out and tell Duen that Mild was the attacker?
That aside, I give this series a thumbs up for not giving up on story lines, and actually completing them. Unlike some other series, I never thought "Hey, whatever happened to (fill in name of character) from the first 4 episodes?"
As far as I know, it was confirmed there will be season 2. Not sure when though. Worse thing, Thailand has a ban…
Thailand is indeed taking COVID-19 very seriously. Not only am I not expecting any kissing in the near future, but it's hard to even imagine filming, with anyone in close contact, holding hands, etc.
Watched the trailer for the next ep. I'm excited about Ram/King, Mek/Boss and Thara/Frong. When I saw Bohn/Deun,…
There's been talk that one couple will not have a happy ending. If that's true, I'd love it to be Bohn/Duen. They're too juvenile and toxic... but I probably won't be so lucky, lol. Logic would say it's Mek/Boss, with Ryan being out for a Season 2. If it's Ram/King, I swear imma cut a bitch.
as my answer: I just can't stand his behavior, I mean he acts like he's 5 years old, I don't wanna sound rude,…
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU @BrandoRando and @Agnes! For me, Duen is the only thorn in what otherwise is a really good BL series. I've been over the whole Bohn/Duen coupling for at least half the series now. I'm not watching university students, I'm watching ten year olds acting like they're "going steady." Duen's melodrama is just too much and Bohn isn't much better. They're just too tiring, I really don't care whether they end up together or not... even if they do, I get the feeling it wouldn't (and shouldn't) last very long.

This was a solid 9.0 for me.
