My opinion: these days everyone has an opinion π and a lot of people have a short attention span. We have a lot of options in BL these days, so much so that everyone is looking for the smallest detail to criticize negatively. So I have promised myself that I will only comment on a show that impresses me... This show has really impressed me, faults and all.
First of all the cinematography is great. That scene at the pool being shot with barely any lighting was chef's π Not adding sneaky lights to make it bright for the camera to shoot (and trust me I always look for that π) made me concentrate on the acting. It felt like the moon set the mood for that deep talk. Very nice.
Secondly Tanrak scares me. He is such a repressed young man, his reactions are not appropriate for that age; the other boy gets bullied for being gay during bath time, Barth doesn't put on the uniform, Barth is being ostracized during lunch e.t.c. Instead of getting angry, irritated, annoyed or trying to be a hero and help, he just lets it goπ! He is more of a ticking time bomb than even Barth who is actually combative. Portraying this aspect, Fourth did a really good job.
Last but not least, the protagonists being 44/45/46 years in 2025 and still being portrayed by GemFott is a bit of a stretch. But this is such a minor detail, it's not going to stop me from watching the next episode.
Soooooo while I am waiting for @GMMTV to be ready with mines ππ I am camping here.
If love you teacher is not on YouTube for you, it's on viki. It's definitely not impossible to watch legally.…
I agree with you @DivisiveHobgoblin12. I think we just have to shift our expectations a little bit to the new system if we still want to support our faves.
And of course @djokersel your experience with LYT must have sucked they for sure need to work on announcing and advertising the platforms the show will be on internationally in advance. This information is indeed very useful and I hope they do better in the future.
I get you but I am also choosing to stay positive on this one...and here is why. I have noticed that most series…
Very true having everything on YouTube was really cool and very easy to access without worrying about subscriptions. The viewership back then was also next level 20M 30M views was easy to get back then but now YouTube views are not as much anymore even for regular videos these days it's not the same anymore and that's why I think these companies are finding these other outlets for the shows. And to be honest, if we want quality shows, they need to make money to make them, in as much I hope things were different, unfortunately it is what it is. I am praying we have a lot of sponsors and then they will need to show it on YouTube with less Geoblock.
As a big fan of WilliamEst, Iβve been looking forward to this series. However, finding out itβs airing on…
I get you but I am also choosing to stay positive on this one...and here is why. I have noticed that most series going on OneD are co-produced with GMMTV and Parbdee Taweesuk the production company (correct me if I am wrong). The ones I have noticed are Thamepo, Wu, Love you teacher, When oranges fall etc.
If you notice, Thamepo was on Netflix and WU is on Iqiyi and of course the others are on OneD... So hear me out. I understand why everyone is freaked out, but it is quite possible that other platforms may pick up the show and not OneD.
So I want to start that discussion on which platform gives the best experience and why so that fingers crossed we get what we want, whether it's our desired platform or oneD can get it together with these problems people are going through and make changes for a better experience before the show airs.
So these are platforms I have seen most people mention: IQIYI, NETFLIX, VIU, RAKUTEN VIKI etc. Let's remember YOUTUBE is not guaranteed that's why I did not include it here, because even other companies like DMD also do not put their biggest series on YouTube other than one episode, so it is what it is.
Fingers crossed we will get what we want if we say it loud enough without being problematic with pointless insults. Personally I want this show to be on IQIYI π
How are william and est surviveing the filmings like 27yth was "Paech nd Me" Q5 and 28th is "You Maniac"…
Right? I respect the hustle and I am also greatful at the same time because we have a lot of LDR coming they will probably have less time for filming...
Would have loved to see it. It's par for the course with Gmmtv series. Oh well... I am still excited for the rest, the official site on Twitter is my new home now π
I love this show already. Quite personally WE are my babies so I am really looking forward to this. The novel, the music/OST., the behind the scenes, the episode reactions you name it. I WANT ALL OF IT!!! If you know π you know... Surfice to say I am sat, have been sat and will forever remain sat even after the show airs π
There are some shows BL or not, that just make you wanna read the book and once I saw that trailer on YouTube my hands stated to itch to pick up the book...the paperback kind too π€ I want to have the privilege to say was the series better than the novel?(It definitely will beπ)
Let's keep on supporting the boys through the official page on x.
This series brought me back to BL, I know a lot of people say that and I agree π― WilliamEst romanced so hard, made me wanna be in my soft girl era. Love Love the series I can't wait for actor Est to cry again in their upcoming series You Maniac ππ₯ and by that I mean I can't wait to see their exceptional acting againππ
"Thame aren't you tired mmm?" Aghhhhh right in the feels...
