I always regard English subtitles as a gift. I am also aghast at the arrogance of some English speakers aggressive…
Yes, English subtitles are a gift. However...
It's not arrogance when subtitles have been provided (because the company wants to increase international viewership), and an English speaker spends hours of precious time watching and enjoying a series... only to have the subtitles gone in the last episodes, with no way to find out how the series ends.
Total irresponsibility and neglect by the company. They get their viewers and then dump them at the end. If they're going to do that, that should not offer English subtitles to begin with.
I mean Pi might have feelings for Mork. Probably in denial. I think a common theme for some bl series is one of…
Fair enough. I just wonder about the message being sent. "If someone turns you down, don't take no for an answer, keep after them until you finally wear them down and they fall in love with you."
Kind of disappointed with this. And, as much as I like Mork (and think he can do waaaay better than Pi), it's not really cool the way he stalks Pi relentlessly... I mean, at what point does no mean no?
I'm enjoying this! Mainly, it's because I liked the My Extraordinary cast so much. That series was disappointing in the end, but through no fault of the actors. This series is fun! Yay!
Holy crap Mork. I'm ready for this Flirt King to win Pi's heart!!!!! Duean and Meen stay cracking me up.
That's right. My favorite episode, regarding Pi, was the first. He has been bullied his whole life.
Sure, he now looks "good" for the first time in his life. And he is in love with Meung Nan. He still doesn't know how to act, he doesn't even know who he is. I'm willing to cut him a break, while he figures things out. I think that's where this series is going.
I know I've seen the actor who plays Tee in at least one other BL, but I can't find him on the cast list.
Does anybody else know what he's been in? It's been bugging me that I can't remember... I'm thinking he played somebody's father or something like that.
OMG. I've never hated a character so much and wanted to punch someone in the face as I did during episode 11.…
Which one? I assume you mean Aey, but for me it's a tie between Tum's sister and Tiffy. Aey is mentally unstable and needs to spend some time in a psychiatric ward.
Here's a different take. I'm almost hoping this doesn't have a happy ending, and here's why:
Lovely Writer (along with Call It What You Want) is brave to expose some of the real life, toxic aspects to fanservice and behind the scenes issues with BL in general.
All for the sake of fanservice (meaning, money making for the company), BL actors are discouraged from having relationships of their own, whether they be gay, straight, or otherwise. Actors in other genres are not subjected to this kind of emotional bullying.
There are so many BL actors who have decided they want out, and it's no wonder. Mean and Plan have both said they are leaving BL. I believe Krist and Perth have done the same; so have others whose names are escaping me at the moment. The craziness happens even within different BL series: when Saint teamed up with Zee for Why R U, delusional fujoshis sent death threats to Zee, for "breaking up" Saint/Perth. This is just one example of many.
Perhaps the best message -- the one that would pack the biggest punch -- would be an unhappy ending, to show that all of this toxicity has real life consequences for innocent actors, who are to blame for nothing other than trying to do a good job, while maintaining their own private lives... just like everyone else.

Now -- please tell me: what FACTS did I misrepresent?
In real life, that almost never happens.
