Ok so I know I'm late to this and I have only watched bits and pieces but I don't see what people are talking…
Not sure how much you've seen, but M started out as an a-hole but then quickly redeemed himself. He loves Pun and was a good friend to him when Pun was crying over Sib (who has flirted with Pun but mostly sleeping with his own girlfriend). M and Pun ended up sleeping together and M thinks it's serious, but Pun sleeps with Sib the moment he has the opportunity, forgetting all about M.
I know 40 million with the 2 remaining episodes is possible so how are we gonna hit 50 million views to get the…
I always watch on the official links. But do we know for a fact that a certain amount of views will get us a Season 2? Has that been announced, or is it just speculation?
This is tied for my second favorite BL of 2019 (behind MODC, and tied with He's Coming to Me). I'm always waiting to see what will happen next!
The story makes perfect sense to me. Of course, I'm mostly on Pete's side, but I see Kao as being in a depression over his love for Pete, trying to help his mom, and his reluctance to come out to his mother and to the world. (Non in the picture isn't helping things, lol.)
Sure, it's easy to say that if Kao just came out of the closet, everything would be great. But it's different for everyone. Straight people don't have to "come out." For most gay people, there's a lifetime of feeling different and unaccepted by society. Most parents are not like Pete's dad (who is a great role model, by the way). Even in this last episode, the friend of Kao's mom was putting pressure on Kao to find a girlfriend, get married and have children. That can be a huge pressure on a young gay man, especially when he's the only boy in the family... personally, it was that way for me, too. I felt I was letting down my parents by not being straight, getting married and carrying on the family name. I'm glad they are addressing this very real issue.
And, unlike most Thai BLs (and BLs in general), DBK does not have a lot of ridiculous or unexplained plotholes.
My guess is that all the sh!t will hit the fan in the final two episodes. Non will be exposed, Kao will be forced out of the closet, his mom will accept it (as she has probably guessed it, anyway), Pete and Kao will make up, Sun and Mork will declare their love for one another and all will end well.
A lot of people are criticizing New's acting as monotone, but I see it as portraying someone in depression perfectly. Many depressed people speak in a monotone and are not all that exuberant in their behavior.
I have the same feeling and I hope it doesn't go where I think...which is the dad firing his mom and then that…
I have a feeling you've described exactly what's going to happen here. (Except I would guess Kao's mom has known about the relationship with Pete for a long time now.) We've got three more episodes to find out!
Pete's Father saves the whole show... and he's only in like 2 episodes. Ha ha but on a serious note like Pincolino…
I love Pete's father, too. What a great role model!
I don't feel that they're necessarily making it seem like Pete is the issue... I think they're just putting the story out there and letting viewers come to their own conclusions. I've seen other discussion boards where viewers are more upset with Kao.
For me, I don't feel DBK sucks at all, I quite like it and see it as a very real depiction of what young gay couples go through. (And I know I'll get nailed for this... but I feel that without Mew and Gulf, TT would really suck, it's just such a ridiculous story and Type is such a weird ass character. Can't for the life of me figure out why Tharn would give two craps about him. Mew and Gulf are keeping me tuned in, though!)
I think there's no point in comparing the two series since they are completely different.
People will ALWAYS compare series and movies. It's why we have awards such as the Oscars, which have movies that are completely different from one another competing for the top prize.
I have a problem with Thai BL actors acting in general, mostly were acting cringey as fck ,it loosen my mood I…
i like the same actors that you like! For me, the biggest problem with the Thai BLs is the stories... the authors like to romanticize things like rape and violence. But I guess the viewers are fine with it as long as there is a lot of kissing and/or simulated sex. I like romance and sex, too... but not at the expense of a good story.
Okay, I'm gonna say it... everyone seems to think that the TharnType sex scenes are so hot and steamy, but they are NOTHING compared with MODC! Plus, MODC has a far better story. Best BL of 2019 for me.
