Meh. I haven't watched a lot of Japanese gay movies (Pornographer, Mood Indigo, maybe a couple of others), and…
I get your point on the, seemingly, sudden romantic feelings between Togawa and Shima, I know [as a Westerner who grew up in Japan] that it's a side of the Japanese society/cuIture, and the way the Japanese show affection, that is hard to understand for outsiders.. but it ain't an isolated case in Japan where innuendos, allusions and silent gestures, even, speak louder than words when it comes to love [and not only love!].
As for Togawa, he is bisexual. How many gay relationships does a person need to have to be considered bi, anyway? None! Being attracted to both guys and girIs is enough!
Captivating, hilarious... and thoroughly ingenious. I didn't expect less from this movie. It lives up to the series' standard and makes me want another sequel... again... what's, I dare say, miraculous for a Thai show!
I'm glad Gus made the right choice for himself... I'm glad things turned out in the favor of the guy I guessed would suit someone like him the better.
Someone like Top is just a sexy concept, a fantasy for fujoshis, he can't be the 'forever deal' for a volatile gay man who needs stability and a rock to keep him grounded, and protected. Gus is better off with Win... thank goodness the screenwriters made it happen.
Not disappointed... rather disheartened. The reduced screen-time doesn't Ieave a chance for any genuine story development. A huge potential gone up in smoke. :/
Dropped. A Iot of potential tarnished by fatuous acting and irrelevant development... especiaIIy in regard of the medical aspect of the story (and Dr Nam's questionable ethics: Watching him eyeball Tian's Facebook was the Iast straw). As a gay doc, I feeI doubly offended. I can't stand it. GMMTV is always disappointing me anyway... nothing new!
Fake-dating the same gender to impress the other gender (to impress fujoshis)... the best way to disgust any homosexual. This plot can't get any more cliché... I've been used to better intrigues coming from HiStory series. Gonna give it a chance though, if the first episode doesn't convince me, I won't watch further...
Tried to give it a second chance but... I just can't. If it were 100% gay, it would have been probably easier for me, but straight sex (or straight sex allusions) is definitely something I can't do with. Disgusted.. again.. I prefer not to watch further...
I binge-watched the first ''season'' two days ago and now I'm going with the flow for this second. I'm enjoying the show so far... short episodes, concise script, clear-cut intrigue, rather convincing acting, good-looking cast... this is very likely the balm my heart needed after the long string of disastrous shows I watched lately. Thanks Taiwan, you never disappoint!
Those who have seen this drama is it the worth the watch? Is it sad and romantic at the same time?
Yes the story is sad a bit and some scenes are "heavy" but it's fuII of cuteness and adorableness at the same time (thanks to Benny Wen's acting). The Iast time I watched it was perhaps 5 or 6 years ago, but I stiII have a good memory of it. I think it's worth your time :)
Ok. Please, help me I don't ever seen a BL drama. I tried to watch TOL (Theory of Love) but I Don't finished because…
Theory of Love wasn't exactly a feat, I dropped it as well. A Tale of Thousand Stars isn't the best drama ever made either, but it's watchable. It's soft and ''innocent'', and the story-line basic in comparison with other Thai BL/gay dramas... but it can be perfect in your situation as you're new to the theme.
My best friend got married weeks ago with his longstanding lover in a perfect gay wedding [in the middle of the pandemic unfortunately] so watching this long awaited wedding between Tharn and Type was a good occasion for me to ''compare''... Lemme just tell you how disappointed I am in this production, even the "old" chemistry between Tharn and Type wasn't enough to save the day...and this show; their so-called ''cute moments'' don't reflect what a 7 years-long relationship is supposed to be.. after what was supposed to be 7 years of love. Tharn's character is rigid, no character development at aII in two seasons and GuIf didn't portray his character weII in this special episode, but I won't put the blame on him, actors can't do miracles with agonizing scripts and the script of this second season is a wreck in the form and the contents. I agree with the critiques on the rest of the show... This Thai sequel was like 99,99% of Thai sequels; it was a disaster!
problematic and discriminative... it contains violence, homofobia, transphobia, femfobia, toxic masculinity, misogyny,…
Life is also horrible to live. All those things that you list are reality, and facts. I am gay and I like it when homophobia is part of a plot, it ain't problematic.. it's quite the opposite. It shows what people like me have to go through and what human nature is capable of.. Homophobic pricks aren't fiction, same for the rest. I agree for the weak character development in the series, but it remains a nice drama in comparison with other dramas of the same standard... but, I guess, if you hated this first season, you will have a much more horrible time watching the second. Most of us do, unfortunately lol
I mean u saw the flashbacks he looked for the files and realized what the boss done.
Yes, I saw the flashbacks but, if the files are "identical" as the doc said, where's the evidence that it's been Type's work? It can also be interpreted as Type stealing his boss' work.... for an obscure purpose (which isn't the case of course)... Perhaps that my brain is the one at fault, but I can't see how exchanging two identical files can prove anything. I think there are some shortcomings in the script... :/
I see that a lot of people are willing to drop (or have already dropped) the series. To be honest, I didn't enjoy this new season as much as I anticipated. I expected something at least as good as the first season, and I am downright disappointed, it's no surprise. When I watched the episode 7 and the preview of the 8th episode, I thought I'd like the new episode even less than the first ones.... but, surprisingly, I enjoyed episode 8 a little bit more than I thought. The first 20 minutes, to be exact. I started pulling a face the second Fiat appeared on the screen.
- I don't understand Type's decision to take the guy to that bar. I am a medical worker, if my outpatient shows up at my place, I'll probably call the police (kick them out before the police arrives if they are of Fiat's kind).
- Type drinking his ass off when his biggest problem at work is over ain't something I understand much either. Alcohol and misunderstandings are pretty common in Thai dramas, and, to some point, they get old... I expected a "smarter" plot for this season... hence my disappointment.
I won't drop the series. I like watching Mew, he compensates for my celibacy (lol) and, expect for Manner of Death, I dropped or put on-hold all the other shows.. if I don't watch TharnType, I'll have nothing else Asian to watch. I'd say this season is no good but in an ocean of disasters... it's refreshing.
*If anyone can explain to me how did Khunpol trap the homophobic boss, it would be nice. Exchanging IDENTICAL files? How can that make any change? o_O?

I haven't read them personally so I can't make any comment on their quality. Happy reading, though :)
