Mon tried his hardest, but he couldn't contain his joy, happiness and his smile when he let Kim stay.

These boys are absolutely adorably smitten with one another.

The encouragement that Kit and Shane provide to one another, when they need it the most.

The constant smiles shared between Kim and Mon make my face ache in the good way.

The teachers (Quiet Nat, and Energetic Tan) are giving me the slow burn developing relationship that is needed.

Up next, the total opposite with My Stubborn!!

I love my BL Sunday mornings.

I liked how Sun and Peach saw each other at Peach's art gallery. That photography is the initial draw between them. How the death of Songphum has displaced the family and crew he had three years ago.

And nipples!!

The delusional denial is the entire plot point for Sorn and Jun.

"three days of fever and a sponge bath that ends in a hand pat"

I think we will get a modified version of the fever and sponge bath with Sorn using his tongue to heat up Jun within the next couple of episodes.

"And when she died,
they didn’t send him off to cry alone.
They gave him Jin."

Even in Akin's dream, Jin was right by his side, getting to meet the other most important person in Akin's life. Jin had no idea that Akin had already introduced him to his grandmother in the other letters he had written to her. Throughout their entire timespan from new co-stars, to a reunited and committed pairing, she's been aware of just how important Jin is in her grandson's life.

This episode was fantastic.

LOL.....That's exactly I feel about the completion of this series. You know that this wasn't directed by Hwang Da Seul at all.

I am so pissed at Jin's manager. That a-hole acts as if Jin works for him.
Of course the other production company CEO would purchase all the rights of Akin's grandmother's plays. He's out for revenge, because he couldn't use those photos as blackmail over Akin and Jin.

Akin really does have a supportive family, which came directly from his beloved Grandmother. I loved how she said that she's away on "vacation" and she doesn't want Akin to try and see her "too soon". The dream sequence was also very lovely and something that most folks would love to receive from their family. Full support, love, acceptance and reassuredness of who you are and the person you have brought into your life and heart.

I love this series.

Does "star attitude" mean that the character of Akin isn't behaving as though he owes his entire career to his audience?

That he isn't somehow showing respect to them?

"This wasn’t romance. This was long-con emotional seduction, sponsored by high fashion.
So no, My Stubborn isn’t trying to mirror real-life sexual discovery.
It’s not a textbook. It’s a fever dream with subtitles."

Sorn is the tsundrere (sp?!?) that is in complete and utter denial about his true interest and need in Jun, the vixen seme, who doesn't realize exactly how much power he does have over Sorn.

Once Jun realizes that all this "training" and Sorn's negativity about his sexual prowess is all just BS, because Sorn isn't ready to face his true feelings for him, hopefully we will see a different version of him. A different Jun, who won't tolerate this behavior and get Sorn to admit that he's been lying to himself and Jun. Sorn's going to need a bit of groveling, humility, and honesty to get Jun to emotionally open up to the possibility of being in a romantic relationship with him.

There is a high production value in The New Prince and I am hoping that some parts will have the same element of utter campiness that was in the Pinoy BL "Rainbow Prince" back in 2022.

This is just my opinion and it's not based on his looks or how nice he is off-screen. I think that Yoon has been given a certain note about "How to showcase charisma." and it has not been processed in a way that he's able to portray. In 4 different Thai BLs (Paint With Love, My Ride, Unforgotten Night, and My Stubborn) , he was supposed to portray a character that has some sort of "pull" that is irresistible to very many other characters. I haven't been able to understand or see that sort of appeal of those characters. Is he one of the managers of this company?

Maybe the screenwriters don't think involving even a moment of including lube in these scenes shows off the spontaneity of Sorn and Jun allowing their desires and need for each other to overwhelm them?

I just think it's funny that Sorn is written to be this playboy, who also somehow doesn't have a ton of condoms and lube in his bedroom.

There's the Korean BL "Jun and Jun" from 2023. Little Jun (a former K Pop Idol) also has 3 suitors in quest of him.

It's not as sexually explicit as this one, but it was an interesting watch.

Especially when Jun and Piang (I think that was the character's name) had that discussion in the bar/club about their non-sexual compatibility. They both discussed that they wouldn't be able to satisfied what they wanted in a sexual relationship with another man.

Actually, the only character that is actually honest about what they want is Jun, and there are viewers that want to take away that specific character's needs from the portrayal of that character, because they don't recognize it from other BL series.

Sorn continues to hide his true need and desire for Jun under this ruise about wanting to "teach" him about fulfilling pleasure, but with the condition that he only does it with him.

We have seen this type of scenario before in other BLs, but this series isn't trying to mask it with this "true love" BS.

"But beyond all the swoon and sobs, this episode was also a blistering critique of the entertainment industry.
Of how easy it is to exploit vulnerability.
Of how image always seems to matter more than truth.
Of how love can be weaponized—by management, by press, by fans.

But this time, they fought back.
Not with a scandal,
but with love that’s strategic, defiant, and deeply, unapologetically human."

Exactly. Jin knew that Akin was lying about not loving him anymore, but he knew that Akin wouldn't continue to but him at "risk" during that time period of Jin having a new series to film and promote with Judy. Jin being smart to realize that he needed the assistance of someone like Judy, who has had experience with things like the gossip blogs/rags and entertainment "reporters" during her own career.

How the CEO of Akin's production company, Jade continues to stand right by his main star's side, throughout all of these attempts to take Akin down. Jade knows from his own experience of how entirely cruel this industry can be for artists, who attempt to have a love life, while also maintaining their careers.

Jin is going to have to get rid of his manager/assistant, because what he did was betrayal.

Akin FINALLY put a ring on Jin's finger.

In the beginning of episode 9, when Akin decided (without talking to anyone, especially Jin) to break up him and take the brunt of the negative gossip, I though that he was doing the "right thing", because he didn't want to damage the trajectory of Jin's career, nor have to use someone else in the industry to give to that horrible gossip hound aka so-called "journalist". Yet, Akin should have spoken out, because he would have kept himself and Jin from experiencing the heartache of lying about his true feelings for him.

Even in GMMTV's "ThamePo", Thame got together with this other "rival" artist to try and spend some quality time with his secret boyfriend Po.

As an performer, I truly do think that you have to find a small group of supporters within the industry, outside of just your manager, band members, family and close friends to form a bond.

Having Judy help out as "the beard" to provide coverage for that leaked photo was brilliant. It feeds into the never-ending need for gossip/fan service, because somehow every actor/actress that works together, must secretly be having a torrid affair to bring viewers to watch their tv series/project/film.

What I am noticing, that for many BL fans, there's this panic/worry that they're "missing out" when certain new BL series are popular hits. So, they will watch a couple of episodes, even though the storyline or theme isn't what gives them the thrill they get with other series. Yet, they choose to not drop the series. They will continue to watch, complain, and seek out some recognition for spending time watching something they don't like.

This series also revealed that Chan Young and Ji Yi really aren't very good supportive friends to Hee Su and Seung Won.

In this series, it was painfully clear that Chan Young was the "black hole" who took everything he could from Hee Su in regards who needed the most emotional support in their friendship.

But in the ninth episode,
I was especially floored with Ji Yi's treatment towards Seung Won. Voicing her frustrations that Seung Won hadn't confessed to Hee Su yet, because it was messing up her relationship with Chan Young.

It felt like, once she's able to get a boyfriend, Ji Yi didn't have any interest in her friendship with Seung Won. That she suddenly stopped being able to empathize with his internal struggles as this closeted teen boy in their high school.
