Ohhh, I seeee! yeah I totally misunderstood, hahaha, that's my bad xD but yes, I do agree with you on all of that =)))) Affair was pretty good and both actresses were comfortable with each other when doing intimate scenes. And yes! I'm also hoping to see a live-action of Bloom Into You (if ever possible, I do hope they do a good job at it haha) it was a pretty good story overall =3 also I am quite excited to see all the new GL this year will give us xD

Hey, I totally respect your point of view, and your reasoning is absolutely understandable, and I agree with you 100% that 'slutty' characters should be portrayed as and how they are written; however, what I wrote is mainly intended for the Asian media/audience (hence the Hollywood reference). For instance, as most people are probably aware, super intimate gestures/skinship in public areas are a sign of disrespect in most Asian countries, even though it is completely normal for western and some other countries.
For me personally, it's good enough that we get to see kissing scenes in these GL series, and even better if there is more than one kissing scene in the entire series (unlike just 1 kiss scene at the end of a whole series after a confession—I will probably die waiting lol). I do not necessarily think that nudity/sex scenes are a must, but if the actresses are confident in their acting, then that's fine, and I fully support them taking a step further in immersing themselves in their character/roles as long as they are not overdoing it.
I do, however, think that protecting these actresses is the best way we can support them and not force them into giving us fan service that they are uncomfortable with just for our own entertainment purposes. I believe they are doing their best; even if to the audience it may come out as cringey, I wouldn't blame them, as it also comes down to the cinematography as well as scriptwriting and editing or just an overall bad production. I am just glad that Thailand has opened up to LGBT and is providing us with some great GL series so far, whereas other Asian countries are not quite as open, but I do see that they try to.
And yes! I was slightly disappointed with Ayaka-chan wa Hiroko-senpai ni Koishiteru. I felt that their character development and chemistry were a bit on the lacking side, although I did enjoy the plotline as a whole. Props to Japan for trying; I hope they do get better at making GL series, as there are so many yuri mangas out there that should be turned into TV series. xD
im going to be hated but here i go. the pilot trailer giving me the vibes like go girl(s) give us nothingthey…
I'd say they did a great job for their first GL roles in TSOU. You need to consider the fact that Thailand had just recently passed the bill for same-sex marriage, which will be legalised in Jan 2025 (not to mention the first country in South-east Asia to do so) I would assume that prior to this, a lot of their previous GL/BL series were made with some risk of backlash, like in China for example (where they can't even kiss on camera or it has to be super blurred out or out of angle, which ruins the moment) Thailand is doing a great job for this type of genre, and they will continue to improve with all the scenes that we all want to see over time since they are open to same-sex marriage now.
In terms of the pilot, if you have seen TSOU pilot/trailer, they also shot those in the early days where they improvised scenes, and then later, when they were actually filming, they improved everything from clothing to hairstyles to acting and location. The pilot episode for Only You is there for all their fans who are eager to see their next GL series, but with time they will produce us another great GL series. They have so many fan meetings and a busy schedule so of course it would have to be rushed a bit since they're travelling everywhere for their fan meets. Once that's all done, they can fully focus on filming the drama, which I am sure will deliver.
I've seen comments of people saying they only show kiss scenes and those are not hot and intimate enough, but honestly, if people want to see explicit scenes, they might as well just go watch 18+ stuff. I honestly think that those kiss scenes were wonderful and full of compassion and love; unlike just getting straight to the sex, they are displaying affection to each other in a loving way. Also, a lot of Asian celebrities try to maintain their innocence, dignity, and virtue when making these series so as to not come out as slutty or inappropriate, so it's good to be mindful that they are doing their best without destroying their image, like a lot of Hollywood movies where they will be naked just for the views. In summary, I think that they are doing a great job at providing us with some beautiful GL series and will continue to do so in the future now that they are building a great fan base.
