The funny this is that I speak Chinese and so even though I was listening to his Thai dub, I could see his lips speaking Chinese and so it was easy for me to 'feel' the emotion in that way, if that makes sense. lol

Exactly. I'm sure Ryan can manage some Thai here and there, and even if he couldn't, I wish they could have just made Boss bilingual. They both understand Thai/Chinese, but Chinese is Mek's first language and Thai is Boss', so they speak in one language and respond in the other. Some people maybe wouldn't understand, but I totally would because this is my daily life. lol

I still couldn't bring myself to watch season 2 because of the actor change, but if it was so good that now there'll be a season 3, I may have to give it a chance.

I wish they could have found another actress to play her character. Her accent is almost as distracting as Mek's dub.

I'm personally a little glad it got dumped. Seemed messy.

I know this is sad, but on a scale from 1 to 10, 1 being "it's sad, but eat some ice cream afterwards and you'll be fine" and 10 being "a part of you will die along with the characters"

I might be the only person who watched YYY before starting this, but when looking at the actor who plays Junior in this series, I can ONLY see Porpla and it's so bizarre to me. lmao

Isn't the fact that he even asked the question "if you did that to me, what would you think?" indicate that doing such a thing is indeed not normal in the first place?? The fact that he said "I would accept" doesn't normalize rape. It quite clearly shows that the relationship is flawed. The characters aren't always moral and I don't think they are supposed to be.

What's being normalized here that shouldn't be?

Almost rape? Horrified?...BL might not be the genre for you, dear. I wonder which BLs you've seen before this one that were gentle enough for you to handle. lol

"They managed with Korean and Chinese in 'Because of You' so why not haha."

I was JUST thinking about this. It could totally work. In Thailand, there are actually a huge amount of Chinese people directly from China and lots of others who are Chinese descendants (like Bright/Win and some actors in this show too). It's totally conceivable that there'd be a Chinese guy in Thailand who can understand Thai, but doesn't speak it too well.

Aside from the main characters, I like the Chinese boys Mahan and Wang Chao. lol They're so ridiculous.

Ugh the way Pun throws his arms around Nott's shoulders :'( So beautiful

There's a Fuse/Tee scene in this show? Which episode? So far, I've only noticed the Make It Right poster in the background.

I'm just a sucker for Duen's smile whenever he 'feels' the love from Bohn. I know it's super cheesy, but I can't help but love it. haha

I noticed them call out China too...with the part where they talk about having sex in front of the Chinese boys, right? lol

Not gonna lie, I'm super excited for this, but the LAST thing we want to do is overhype it. Remember what happened last time we did that ((2classmates)). lol Let's just all be grateful for how well done season 1 was and hope season 2 can be good too.

It is interesting that you call Bohn childish and Duen stupid, though. I feel like their relationship is pretty spot on for a lot of first time couples in college. Misunderstanding, lack of trust, overbearing, trying to control every situation or trying so hard to please the other person. All of that stuff is very real and common among couples at that age, I feel. It's frustrating to watch because of how often we see it happen outside of TV. I think anyone that's ever been in a relationship can identify with one or two of the mistakes Bohn/Duen made at some point.

Well, I think it's easy to see the humanity in all of them. For Ram, yes it's easy to imagine someone who doesn't like to speak often or like to express themselves often, but it just doesn't happen often that people literally speak as little as he does. I don't think I mind it very much as it doesn't make me enjoy him and King's relationship any less. I don't call him stupid.

About Thara, we really haven't seen enough of Thara by himself or within the context of his own trusted friends to really know what's going on there, but since the show has set them up as a couple, I guess that's the assumption.

For Frong, yeah, I think he appreciates his kindness a lot, but I don't know of that does or should equate to falling for him. It's sweet, but I want there to be something deeper than that for them, you know? Mek/Boss are best friends. Ram/King have unspoken, but deep bonds. Duen/Bohn are the stereotypical romance.

All around, I'm just excited for next season.

Agreed, but also development and nuance is the only place you can go if you start from silence and blank expressions (Ram). lol I get your point, but I couldn't resist.
