"idk why ppl are commenting that it is again the same Love-carrer trope..I mean what is wrong if the drama is sticking to the reality..!!??"

I think that for some viewers, they don't want the reality of this Idol vs. Love drama. I'm saddened by what happened, but not shocked by their breakup. This is a reality that many idols, actors, actresses, and performers in Asian entertainment face every damn day in their careers. Look at the fallout of Bright from 2Gether, Freen from Gap The Series, Seng from Secret Crush On You, and the numerous KPop/JPop idols that have to issue press releases, apologizing to their so-called "fans" about them not revealing that they've had a secret romantic relationship with someone else during their career.

Heck, let's look at the inane fallout regarding the TayNew Instagram live, in which Tay was shown to be kissing Gun on screen.

It's all utter insanity, but nothing that was shown wasn't based in reality.

"(Perhaps displaying a Korean cultural attitude that self-worth derives from wealth? Or at least a disdain for the poor?) "

Ding. Ding. Ding. Why is it when BLs, specifically KBLs focus on the cultural aspect of wealth/disdain for being poor in South Korea, folks don't get it? Yet the same situation is understood in KDramas like, "The Golden Spoon", "Numbers", "Boys Over Flowers", "The Devil Judge", "Reborn Rich".

It's not even in the same category as a student short film. Spent months waiting for this tripe.

I have binge watched all 9 episodes since 5 am today. Such a touching, but also extremely funny series.

Thank you!!

This was just a lovely film and I loved how Ayumu work wife constantly encouraged him to move forward and accept his attraction to Ryoma.

Ryoma's directness was refreshing to see. He made it clear to Ayumu that he's interested in him romantically.

I just wish that the more manic fans of Build would accept that he's on a different path entirely, because he can't get hired in the Thailand entertainment industry anymore. Build understands, has accepted it, and is moving on with being ready to go to ANY country that has someone willing to find venues for these fan appreciation gatherings. If he was really sought after, he wouldn't be able to do these events all the time.

Nope. Once 4 Minutes airs, I expect that we will get even more unhinged postings from the Blue Heart Fundraisers who think they're showing support for their guy by continuing to trash anything associated with BOC, Pond, Bible, and anyone they feel has "betrayed" Build.

He was the one that played a huge part in blowing up his own professional career and personal life.

Is this series in the same universe as the "Lucky In Love" mini-series from late 2023?

Ako does save herself. She knew that Miyata didn't feel the same towards her, and when he proposed to her, out of the blue she rejected him.

He had the room decorated. The right lighting. Enough privacy for them both, but everything was so empty.

I think Ako has probably wanted to break up with Miyata for awhile, but she kept hoping that maybe, one day he would start showing more direct interest in her, without it making her feel like he wasn't doing it out of obligation.

The timing of this series is perfect. It's entertaining, but also makes me think about the positives and negatives that come with being involved in the entertainment industry as a professional performer, and us fans who enjoy these series and these performers.

I feel like these production companies (well, StarHunter at least), knows that there is a major issue in that these actors/actresses/performers shouldn't have to give up too much of their privacy, and choices that they make in their personal lives, in order to continue to pursue their professional careers.

Kor and Namsom shouldn't have had to end their relationship, for his professional career to continue, and certainly not for the public harassment of Namsom to stop by total strangers.

I feel like Fueang has been slowly getting Krom used to the "lifestyle" that comes with being in the public eye, as he is as a performer. Yet, I also feel that Fueang is so much in love with Krom, that he will eventually end up wanting to give up his professional career, because he won't give up on his possible future with Krom.

Fueang wants to be Krom's everything.

"I doubt much consideration goes into the actual content, which is stated as what is being depicted."

Agreed. It's ridiculous that some folks are upset about the infidelity issues, when that is one of the themes to this series. It's been clear from the very first episode. At least with this series, the screenwriters, director and producers didn't have to focus on not upsetting different fandoms with what their script is based on.

This series is really cute, and I love just how supportive Feuang's crew is being regarding his interest in Krom.

I am also enjoying the fangirl bits in this series. We cannot say that none of what we are seeing isn't true to life regarding fandoms. This is the fun that is posted about all the time. The shared experience.

Hmm... not too bad for a first episode. I am glad that they tuned down the usual Thai background sounds from their flashback scenes during their high school years.

Achi knows exactly what he's doing when he calls Ji "Butcher" all the time.

Ki's eyes tracked the hottie Kambee from the moment he saw him enter the room. Nice setup for the second couple.

Only 8 episodes. So hopefully we won't get unnecessary filler characters/storylines that won't be beneficial to the plot of Achi and Ji finally getting together.

That hazy sheen filter is a bit much.

Sadly, I think the main demographic of BLs (specifically Thai ones) would probably find the idea of "slice of life living the LGBT life" as extremely "dull and boring". They want the fantasy of every character being rich, young, hot, gorgeous, with this exciting and non- boring life.

"I have to agree that I believe their “ship” has come it’s fruition… especially when it comes to BL’s. I feel they are too old to play college students and their chemistry is so solid that they could realistically play a married gay couple with ease. Now that’s a drama I would sign up for!"

I think that could be something for many BLs to focus on. The everyday life of an older married gay pairing, like Japan's successful "What Did You Eat Yesterday" trilogy series. What happens after they get together? How do they go about sharing their lives together?

That could be something for these writers to get interested in!

This past weekend, BL Twitter had this funny meme about "You are a BL Fan if...." and this new series first episode had almost every trope that you could find in other older, and sadly current BLs.

Those horrible background sounds. Squek! Blip! Bloop!
The Engineer group walking slowly together in a single line.

They seriously couldn't cast younger actors for the flashback high school scenes?!

It's one thing to ask the audience to stretch our imaginations and accept that Kimmon's supposedly portraying a 22 year old college senior, but to have him in those blue shorts?!
😃 😀 😄

I will pass on this one, and continue with "City Of Stars".

They made sure to fit in as much product placement ads in between the awkward group scenes, and the foot/sex scenes.

It's nice to see that Dew and Tor are comfortable in being able to showcase the mutual love, need, and desire that Him and Nail have for one another, but the script was really lacking.

Hilarious (bloop)!

Yup. For me, it's clear that the director just lost any interest in the overall production with each new episode. I hope that the actors got paid, because they can only do so much with subpar material in the script.
