China calls for boycott of 2gether!https://www.news-daily.com/news/world_nation/a-chinese-troll-campaign-exposes-a-potentially-dangerous-disconnect-with-the-wider-world/article_d8ee66d7-20e9-5e77-b04e-8b579a356602.html
Oh, that is ridiculous. As if China doesn't have more important things to worry about! I hope Bright doesn't suffer any major backlash.
I see this exact same comment written on message boards all over the place here, and always under a different screen name. I'm sorry, but it makes me suspicious.
Yep, I was cringing when Tutor stepped away from Fighter, without saying a word. But...When I was Tutor's age…
Agreed. But I do have a feeling that this all has a happy ending. I'm thinking that maybe Kae's talk with the dad may have done some good. Or who knows? Maybe Fighter will just say screw it to his dad and live happily ever after with Tutor. (Although Asians are usually not quick to totally defy their parents.)
I'm sure we can all agree that Fighter's dad needs some educating. No one should ever be forced to live someone else's life.
Because he again lost to Bohn so he was in bad mood
Okay thanks, that explains his mood. But it's kind of a weird storyline... Thara comes in as a customer to pick up flowers he's already ordered. Frong not only refuses to serve Thara, but throws him out.
Thara is an innocent customer, doesn't know Frong and has no idea that he's just in a bad mood. And anyway, Frong's mood should not be taken out on a customer. Frong should be fired for that!
I thought it was abysmally bad and entertaining at the same time! Obviously low budget, but that's okay. It cracked me up when it tried to go all High School Musical on us (along with the cringeworthy singing). The sex scenes sure escalated quickly. Gotta love the dad. When I first heard the two guys (brothers?) saying everything in unison, I though "how stupid." Then I started liking it, in a weird way. The over the top, melodramatic sobbing was so bad it was good. And I loved the bizarre, primitive sounding theme song! (I call it "The Natives are Restless.")
I'm not sure that ppl are hating on Tutor. I think most folks wanted to see more than just the same old trope-like…
Yep, I was cringing when Tutor stepped away from Fighter, without saying a word. But...
When I was Tutor's age (I'm older now... let's just say somewhere between puberty and death, lol), just barely coming to terms with being gay, probably in his first relationship with a guy... it would have freaked me out to have someone's dad come to me and say what Fighter's dad said. I was proud of Tutor for saying, at first, "you should talk to Fighter about this," which is probably what I would have said, too. But when the dad kept going on and on, I think that's what broke Tutor. At that age, I know it would have scared the hell out of me.
Tutor kept the truth from Fighter when breaking up with him... I probably wouldn't have done that, even at such a young age. But I probably would have broken up the relationship. That's some heavy shit to have to deal with.
I'm with you. I feel like the dragging wasn't so much the flirting itself, but the lack of clarity about what…
Agreed. The gang violence might be appropriate in a drama series, but it's out of place here. Over a "like" on an IG post? And now it's happening a second time, geez. Where in the hell is Green when you need him?
I agree with Synchonicity about the episode being better than I thought. I just hated that the series had to drop…
I absolutely agree about Tutor's breaking up with Fighter because of his dad... and then not saying why! Also, I thought the whole "woe is me" speech by Tutor at the end was over the top and ridiculous.
And yes... if this goes into a rape story next episode, I'm gonna be ready to cut a bitch!
After reading all the comments here, I was expecting a horrible episode. I thought it was just fine.
We finally got a story, after three weeks of nothing (well, okay a couple of steamy sex scenes). I breathed a sigh of relief when Fighter's dad came back onto the scene, as well as HwaHwa. The scene between Kae and Fighter's dad was powerful. What we got to see from ZonSaifah was cute.
Given the current COVID situation, this episode was way better than I'd expected.
You are wrong . Why can't it be I don't like men only duen . Tharntype the series that have recently been the…
You do realize you are talking about fictional characters, right? The fact is "I don't like men, I just like one guy" is not something found in real life. If you like even one guy, then you are not straight... you like that MAN. It would be very easy for the writers/directors to include more realistic gay/bisexual characters. Tharn was gay, and people had no problem with it. We need more of that.
Sorry if you think I only have negative thoughts, because I still like the series. For you the gender thing may be all in fun, but for me and many, many others -- who have been forced to feel that there is shame or perversion in being gay or bisexual -- it is an attack on our LIVES.
BL is a separate genre for me where there's no labeling based on gender. There's rarely any BL where characters…
I hear you, BL is often written as a fantasy in that regard, but I'm hoping that will change sooner than later. We've had recent gay characters: Pete in LBC, Pete in DBK and Tharn come to mind, some from Make Our Days Count and UWMA... and these are from some of the most popular BL series around.
BL may have started out as a genre for the fujoshi fans, but that fan base has grown to include a great number of young gay men, many who post reaction videos. It's really important, especially for them, that same sex attraction is depicted as real and normal, not just some kind of abnormal fetish. Hearing "I'm not gay, I just like one guy" is a slap in the face to young gay/bisexual people struggling with self acceptance.
Maybe someday all these labels won't matter anymore (same for labeling people based on race/nationality), but for now they are a big part of society and they're not going away anytime soon.
To me it looks like Bohn is always wearing blue eye shadow on his eyebrows. Is that a thing in Thailand? Or anywhere? (Not that it looks bad, I actually like it... I'm thinking of trying it on myself, lol!)
Well, it was only four short episodes... :) I think we've all seen not-so-great BL series on this level, that lasted for months. Since this was short, it wasn't nearly as bad as it might have been.
As the entire series was about Gun and Bar, I'll add my two cents: they really should have left out the part about Gun being the most gorgeous, desirable and hunky guy ever to walk the planet. He's not ugly, he's kind of dorky cute. Nothing wrong with that, so why didn't they just go with it? (I do hope that the actor hasn't been hearing a lot of the comments that have made him out to be uglier than a hagfish. He doesn't deserve that.)
While I wasn't wild about Gun's stalking Bar, his character wasn't all that different from some other BL plots (Bohn is doing the same thing to Duen in My Engineer). But frankly, Bar -- while cute -- had such a nasty personality I couldn't see why Gun would have been salivating over him in the first place.
I'm sure we can all agree that Fighter's dad needs some educating. No one should ever be forced to live someone else's life.
Thara is an innocent customer, doesn't know Frong and has no idea that he's just in a bad mood. And anyway, Frong's mood should not be taken out on a customer. Frong should be fired for that!
Question: why was Frong so nasty to Thara in the flower shop? Did I miss something?
