Ah yes. The dreaded 11th episode. 4 months. They seriously couldn't survive 4 months!??? With computers and prepaid…
"4 months" doesn't solve the problem. So what happens when Sib gets cast in "Bad Engineer 2?" Or the BL after that one? And another, and another...? The series is telling us that BL stars never, EVER get to have a husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend, because it interferes with fanservice. That's the problem.
Really wish the actors would form a union and forbid fan service. Thailand and Taiwan are the last region gay…
Agreed. But... kudos to Thailand for producing both Lovely Writer and Call It What You Want. It can only help to combat toxic producers and fanservice.
Bruce and Kenji were gold in this episode, but the writing let Up & Kao down in a major way - I couldn't feel…
And what happens after 4 months? Sib becomes an even bigger star, gets cast as another BL lead, and then another, and another... what the company is saying is that Nubsib can NEVER have a boyfriend. Isn't that correct?
For me this was the best episode yet, because we're finally getting to the heart and soul of what -- I think -- this series is supposed to be about: the destructive aspects of BL fanservice.
I love BL, but I've always been really creeped out by fanservice. Sure, it's a profit maker for the companies, but it's weird as hell and really needs to fall apart at some point. It's TOXIC.
Watching Aey's livestream to his fans, I couldn't help but think about Art's teary livestream when he complained about Mew (and fans went berserk), or when Saint (after LBC with Perth), teamed up with Zee on Why R U, and Zee got death threats. And there's far more insanity than just those two incidents.
Actors outside of BL don't hide their marriages and relationships. We could say "Nubsib/Gene just have to hold out 4 months, what's the big deal?" The big deal is this: what happens when Nubsib is cast in the next BL series? And the one after that? What this company is saying is that Nubsib is NEVER allowed to have a private relationship or marriage, at least not while he is a BL star.
Yeah. And i read somewhere that the director tweeted "i don't care" in response to criticisms.
Well, if that's the director's response, I don't care, either. He can kiss my a$s. This was an EXTREMELY tacky thing to do. The director should do the right thing and apologize. It's not that hard.
This is not sarcasm, I'm just curious - what is disturbing? This is the most wholesome story I've ever seen. They've…
I'm with you on the shirtless scenes. A little too creepy.
But as for brothers kissing... if they had been stepbrothers since childhood, then I might agree with you. But this is not the case. They're already adults (or very close to it), and they've never really been a family, their parents just happened to get married. So I'm okay with it.

No wonder all these popular BL actors want out.
And this series isn't very good.
