I agree that it isn't on the script only but the script is the fundament. When it isn't transfered well into TV format, no one can save it. But yes, sometimes a producer or director killed good scripts. There are names in Chinese Dramaworld you beg to not get picked up from. What I never experienced was a team saving a bad script. The best what can happen is making it so bad, that people love it. Trash TV was immensly popular in my youth. I think Unforgotten Night is a good example in BL world. Every episode felt like an accidental Muppet Show for me.

It depends on the production. I know that Not Me made script changes and LITA too. In Not Me the director was co-scriptwriter and Love in the Air was produced by the novel's writer. So, that may be the reason and it did good. Sometimes you notice only on set what works and what not. But generally I think it is good for the actors to have a script that is almost done, so they can impersonate their character better. It must be highly stressful to come to work and everything you prepared for changed. Especially K-Drama often is a bit ridiculous and it is very noticable when the production left the actors and actresses behind. I think finding a balance is the best.

So far it is getting better. Still, for me, the main characters aren‘t like humans in RL would react. They are too novel perfect. The story still is too much packed with too many characters in a short time. I can‘t emotional connect when I constantly get thrown around. I know, they have too little episodes for too much plot but it is on the screenwriter/s to transfer a novel to tv screen without loosing the essence of it. I love the premise but the realization is somewhat lacking, so far.

Cool! Have fun.

They did that last week with EP10 but I wouldn’t count on this again. Free users can only watch first 10 episodes. At least that is what they state at their website.

VIU is always only the first 10 EP for free. 🤷‍♀️

Gosh, Pai and Rock are so cute together but it is such a shame that Jan and Ssing have no chemistry at all. At least for me.

You are welcome.

Good luck. It worked fine for me. The option is rather at the end and mine was completely in English. Did you change your system language after login?

For me it is more weird him wearing them and you clearly can see they are fake.

Don’t they accept your CC? Choose the VIU premium option. It is just 150 Baht for one month and you can just cancel after paying right away. A pint of ice cream cost more than that.

Checked my old manga and nope, nothing. Achi is getting a job offer to develop his career and has to leave Karan for a while. Maybe we start to deviate from the manga.

I‘m not sure such a rule would be even legal in Japan and I always thought Thailand was above „employees are slaves“ too.

P.S. I used the Thai names instead the Japanese ones for better understanding.

Exactly, this show is great with real character development. And I love that the side characters get their chance to shine too. Heck, I even like the boss.

Well, he never dated. No wonder he has troubles. But he did grow since the beginning and I like the direction he is going. Especially today’s episode when he wanted to be cool and noticed Min doesn’t care for that.

I absolutely love Jinta even though I’m not a fan of Tsuge. Jinta is a great friend and even though he is socially awkward it isn’t to the point that it isn’t realistic. Other than Achi who lacks a lot of social skills and seems sheltered, Jinta knows what goes on in this world and how to articulate. He is booksmart for sure.

The law works in favor of men first. Having money is just the cream on top of the cake.

I love that the team stayed true to the manga who has lots of nice characters but still added in their own Thai magic. The Japanese drama often felt a bit claustrophobic and detached.

I‘m not a stan and it is the first time for me that I see an actual chemistry between them. Also their acting got so much better over time. I‘m very satisfied, especially since I went in without many expectations. At the moment it is my favorite BL on air. All others aren‘t my cup of tea or underwhelming despite the hype. So, for me: Yay.

The issue is that it looks like they didn’t bought the rights for worldwide distribution, only for Thailand. I’m sure they are working on it but such things usually take time. Don’t forget Japan has very restrictive copyright laws and there is always a language border. That also adds into for sure.

Different perspectives, different opinions. I enjoyed today’s episode very much. The focus was less on the main CP but we got lots of character building. Also loved how they portrayed Pai’s Fujoshi persona.

The overacting of Junior is based on the character. I still cringe about Jinta at Vol.13 (manga). I think the actor does pretty well since his version is kind of cute.

It looks like Te wants to use Nail to hurt Him. He even said Him doesn‘t deserve to be happy for what he did to Blue. At the moment I can even relate why he said that but not using Nail like a pawn.
