Yeah, I just finished that episode. To me, it just seemed so out of character for Fighter. It's like they put it in to make his feelings seem as intense as we already knew they were. Extremely bad turn and senseless point.

Thank you for answering. lol You're both great.

Thank you for asking this question.

Reading through some of these comments, it's really easy to tell who 1) isn't a gay man/isn't informed on the lived experience of men in homosexual relationships and 2) hasn't seen/read BL/Yaoi outside the context of Thailand and possibly the west.

Seriously. If this is 'toxic' to you, you don't even want to know what your gay male friends'/relatives' romantic relationships have been like and you REALLY don't want to know what the Japanese BL industry has been getting up to for the past 30 years.

That was definitely 2gether.

I genuinely don't think it will let you down!

Accurate.

Khai was arrogant, but he was also quite obviously ignorant. Third was doing everything and anything except being honest with his feelings to the only person it mattered to. It's a shame you dropped it after a few episodes. You'd see how self-destructive Third was, but you'd also see the 180 and, frankly, satisfying character development of Khai.

There's rape and sexual assault in this?? Which episode?

Lee Luo? In a BL turned bromanace? SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

Whenever checking out shows on MDL, one should never use the actual rating to gauge how the show is. Just read the comments.

I'm on episode 7 and I feel that way. It's like Fighter seems dominant and is the one initiating the romance, but won't actually talk about it.

My mind didn't go there since I'm already very familiar with the name Ram. His last name being Wira (veera) refers to the Hindu god Ram, also known as Raghuveer (hero of the Raghu clan). This name isn't unpopular in Thailand given their Hindu heritage. Multiple kings of Thailand have the exact same name...including the current one.

So, no, my mind is in a very different place on this one. lol

Agreed. Tbh I think BL is changing based on the very vocal fanbase more than anything. The fact that we've been trolled so hard as (see: Why R U? and YYY) is evidence. Also, if you check YouTube reaction videos, it's very clear that a huuuge portion of BL watchers at this point are gay men.

I'm referring to the relatively innocuous message written underneath. This one doesn't actually have a more subversive meaning like the a lot of the others from this time do. Even the ones with cute kids.

"I can not help but think
that Bohn and Duen are taken from a highschool BL comedy series." <---I'm pretty sure that's a big part of their appeal. Of the four couples, aside from Thara being a little 'weird' (like with the lizard) or Boss being outspoken, the funny couple is Bohn/Duen.

I get your point, but bad example with the picture. You should have chosen one that actually propagates about the government instead of the people themselves.

It totally doesn't matter, but if we're to speculate (which I don't mind doing at all lol), I'd say Ram would the 'sword' in this situation. I could be being influenced by Talay's role in YYY (in which he's definitely the 'scabbard').

I think would have been better off finding any white lady who could speak Thai (even if it was bad). This would make it more believable. Especially given the fact that when Ram speaks English, he has a very thick Australian accent. If his mom were speaking with an American accent, that would be an awkard situation too. lol But we're not Thai, so maybe none of them really noticed.

I watched this before I started watching Why R U and Porpla as Junior is f***ing me up. lol

Also, Wang Chao and Mahan are my babies. <3
