Lol if this is toxic, they better never ever read Killing Stalking rofl.A lot of the story was not fleshed out…
This comment made me literally laugh out loud. Killing Stalking would traumatize them. Hell, it traumatized me for the first two chapters. I went from "Why tf am I reading this?" to "Why tf is this so good?" to "Wtf is wrong with me?" and I regret NOTHING.
My two negatives are the lack of development of the side characters and the weird way that Saifah and Zon (mostly Zon) just sort of went from not liking each other to being inseparable. There was also a lot of making out/hooking up and while there was more than necessary, I'm not gonna pretend to complain about watching hot guys kiss in front of me and honestly, it didn't take THAT much away from the story. This isn't at the top of my list of favorite BLs, but Tutor/Fighter are definitely one of my all time favorite couples now and despite my earlier comment, Zon was actually my favorite character in this.
I´m a gay guy, and i wanted to love this drama but i just coud not, i could tell the way of how the relationship…
I'm a gay guy too and I agree with all your points. There were too many intense issues that didn't have a proper resolution for me...except, possibly the homophobia..maybe? I loved Tar as well and of course the whole shitfire of an issue that is Lhong's character, but I digress.
I saw what they were attempting to do, even if it didn't land perfectly, and I really did enjoy the cast.
There's rape and sexual assault in this?? Which episode?
EXACTLY. We see Tutor being the one putting Fighter in his place the whole time, but then this comes out of nowhere. I get that Fighter is going crazy. After having the most romantic, luxurious, and sexually satisfying vacation with his first bf, he gets a cryptic breakup and an implication of infidelity on Tutor's part, but it just really doesn't fit how that anger and anguish would turn to attempted rape?
There's rape and sexual assault in this?? Which episode?
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.
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.
I really wanted to like this drama, but Khai's character is so unlikeable in my opinion! Third really out here…
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.
When King bade farewell, he said that they are going to meet at the condo, – meaning his condo. So, as long…
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
