I prefer those stuff if done right in a good serie with good charachters than a stretched plot with flat charachters…
Hi Liz! I agree with your list except Thank God it's Friday... Nana was kind of a bitch and tried to keep Jump and Home apart. (I've seen worse, though lol!) I never saw I Found Love at 7-11. Is it worth watching?
OK. I was willing to revise my original thought about the character of Dean "pressuring" Pharm for sex. I thought,…
Hey Gottillc! I agree with you. To me, this is a flaw in the writing/directing. The story has depicted Dean as being this caring guy that would never, ever doing anything to pressure or hurt Pharm. And then... this. What happened?
Based on what we know about Dean, I do get the feeling that if Pharm were to speak up ("P'Dean, I do love you but I'm a virgin. I'm not ready for anal sex yet and it may be awhile before I am"), then Dean would probably understand and be more patient. On the other hand, we haven't heard Pharm speak those words. Honestly, I thought it was a little weird to hear Pharm say "Don't do that again, okay?" ...when Pharm hasn't acted in any way except cute and lovestruck. I mean, when couples actually do hook up, someone has to make the first move, right?
Like you, I really do like UWMA a lot! But this thing of the dominant seme/passive uke (which exists but is rather rare with real life gay couples) is one of my pet peeves with straight female authors of Thai BLs. The scene after they finally "did it" -- "I've bought medicine for you, Pharm. Does it hurt?" -- had me rolling my eyes. As if a guy is going to top the one he loves and just start banging away, with no thought of actually pleasuring his partner. It's a bizarre fetish kind of thing, I guess... but it creeps me out, a little.
This one is kind of fun. I'm usually not a big fan of crime family dramas, but I like that these are short episodes that don't take up too much time to watch. Looking forward to see how this develops.
Is this good? I'm not into cheesy and cringy stuff. Unfortunately I'm not a fan of Saint either :(
It's all lighthearted comedy/fantasy. Pretty sophomoric but kind of cute (but waaaaayyy too many side characters). Did you see "The Best Twins?" If you liked that, you should like this.
I'm between loving this series and being frustrated. The acting is great, I like all the couples and the story is an interesting concept. It is filmed beautifully. But... it is dragging on SOOOOOO slowly.
I really wish they had kept it at 12 episodes. There are just too many long scenes that don't go anywhere. Just in this last episode, we watch Pharm and Dean in the bathtub for 9 minutes where nothing happens at all to advance the story. Unnecessary. We've had cooking scenes that seemed to last an eternity. And I miss Manaow, who has been completely left out of the last two episodes.
For those that talk about all the chapters of the book, I will just say that many great movies have been based on books -- many which are much more complex than this story -- and they get it done perfectly in two hours.
Every time they play a little bit of the theme song at the beginning of each part, am I the only one that sings along (even though I don't speak Thai)? I think I'm especially good at the "mng, mng, mng part, lol.
You just spent a long time criticizing people for criticizing.
My advice is to try not to let the naysayers bother you. There are going to be haters on the discussion board for every series, they are not going away. Their opinions are just theirs. No need to feel hurt by someone else's opinion over a fictional series.
Anyone know if this is happening? It had a possible first date in October 2019 and I guess that didn't take place. Hope we get to see it, I liked Mon in Key Love and this looks interesting.
Just finished watching. I liked it! Compelling story, likable main characters and interesting supporting characters. Nice to see a BL story with grown men in their 40s. Realistic in its depiction of the day-in-day-out life of a committed gay couple.
I'm a little disappointed, it seems kind of... dumb. Poop jokes, seriously? (They're never funny.) Maybe it will get better... I might wait and binge watch at a later date.
