I loved what the screenwriters, and director did with the aftermath of the anonymous vitriol that was unleashed from episode 10. We got to see how Jao, and Toh were each able to handle the public backlash, and bitter envy of them being involved with Sky, and Nuea in their own way. They both haven't overcome their own self-image issues, but they're finally comfortable with acknowledging, and knowing that their guys are with them, because they love who they are. Nuea, for weeks has been wanting to display his relationship with Toh, in a more public way. Him, using this situation, worked well for him, because if he could, he would have "Toh's Lover!" tattooed on his forehead.
Poor Sky!! He thought that Jao was going to want to break up with him. He's just so gone for Jao.
Love that Kwan and Fon, are trying to get Sky, and Nuea to not go too over the edge, in their jealousy. Lesbians to the rescue!!
The mystery guy regarding the gifts to Jao, I think that Thep is behind it.
As for the situation with Toh's doppelganger Kong, I'm getting a "Single Asian Male*" vibe from him. He's styled himself, to try and appeal to Nuea, but I'm not worried. Toh's going to handle that guy easily.
That poor, confused, and deluded Fukuhara!! He continues to place his total interest in Shinomiya, as "needing his luck", when this young man got up 3 whole hours before his first date, in order to be on time for it. If you weren't actually interested in the person, you would have given up, after the 2nd or 3rd obstacle. Fukuhara spent the entire day, trying to get to Shinomiya.
People are being ridiculous with this "cringe" BS.
OMG....I love both of the pairings in this series. The long unrequited love between Ze Shou & Li Gong, and the love at first sight love between Yuki & Ying Ze.
And then those very same clothes are magically dried in the next scene. 😕😞
I get that Kimmon and Copter are appreciated and liked, because they're cute, and have great onscreen chemistry, but I hope we can get to see more depth to them as actors. I will see what happens with this series.
"One Day More", until we see the fallout from those horrible online comments about Toh, and Jao. I wonder if we'll see a scene of Nuea losing his mind over it, or if we'll see Som ready to start a fight with someone. Som was livid.
You're right. Something about that "good at ordering food" 'compliment' weirded me out. First time, it's fine.…
Well, I guess Kuea was supposed to spend the years between childhood, and attending college, learning how to cook, so thay he could please his future husband.
For GOD SAKE,hia yi do some conversation with your beloved dao or else I will go insane...THIS DRAMA HAVE MAJOR…
I get more frustrated by both Yi and Diao not communicating with each other, because it feels like if they could just open their mouths, at that particular point of conflict, the current one, being Diao's Dad mentioning that "he knows what Yi did to Diao" as a child, things could get resolved. Wouldn't you be curious as to why your father, is attempting to use an incident from your childhood past, in order to gain a job, piece of property, or more money, from the man that you've been made to live with?! The man, that is your potential, and future husband?
It's not compelling, and then to see Diao distracted by his frustrations with Yi, because he gifted him with a puppy?!
MESS IS GOING ON.story is not making any big sense.if they have given equal importance to all couples and some…
It really is just a very messy, not understandable, not interesting, and weird TV adaption, in regards to the script. These actors, can only do so much, with so very little.
"And any number of standards hubby pulls out of his ass at any time to keep wifey feeling inadequate. Plus sex…
Understandable.
See, I was wondering if this was something that women wanted in their potential relationships with their boyfriends, lovers, and spouses. I wasn't thinking about the male partners, who make all of the decisions in those relationships. It's a win win for them.
I didn’t really like ep 9. The biggest reveal to me was that Lian’s family was poor. For some reason I thought…
"And any number of standards hubby pulls out of his ass at any time to keep wifey feeling inadequate. Plus sex whenever he wants it. O.k. This series would work as a parody of the gender imbalances in Thailand except that it wants us to take it seriously."
Exactly. TPTB pulled a fast one on the audience, because is this sort of relationship really desired by anyone? In fantasy or in real life?
"The power imbalance has nothing to do with age."
Another great point. The imbalance in the relationships between Lian/Keau and Yi/Diao has to do with mistrust, deceit, lies, and manipulation. Many things that I still don't get why is soooo "difficult" to not do, towards someone that you profess to "love"!
I am enjoying this series, and I don't need to use the novel as a sort of "bible" to appreciate what has been kept or added in the TV adaption. I am on the ride, for the entire series!!
That was as bad as it could get with some pretty famous and good BL actors. No focus on story, no scene made sense,…
I keep thinking about how some folks really complain about how the majority of episodes from Korean BLs are always less than 20 minutes, and that they can't "ever" seem to be able to flesh out those scripts. Hmm...."Tinted With You", "Color Rush 2", "Behind Cut", "Oh, Boarding House" even "Kissable Lips" had better scripts than this series. Sigh.
But you can't be too good at pretending. Otherwise they will suspect you are gay for real and no more acting jobs…
"Otherwise they will suspect you are gay for real and no more acting jobs for you!!! 🖤"
That part is very important. Yes, we have Earth and Fluke from "Until We Meet Again" that are publicly out gay male BL stars, that have the full support of the production company, Studio Wabi Sabi, that has them hired under their list of performers. Yet, we have Bruce Sirikorn, Porsch Apiwat, Plustor Pronphiphat, and Newyear Kitiwhut, who are ALL out gay male BL actors in Thailand, but none of them are under ANY sort of production company's list of actors. All of them are independent.
A pig's head as a memento. Oh Toh!! I know that it's going to be EXTREMELY hard and difficult for Toh, to really be able to not collect things, but I still have faith, that eventually his need to collect will diminish in time. That being said, I LOVED that the last segment of episode 11 focused on Daisy, and her attempts to "conform" into being the masculine "Day", that she feels and thinks, she should be, in order to keep Touch interested in her. How Toh, Jao, and my sweetie Som cried over seeing Daisy twisting herself into being someone she was never meant to be, broke my heart, yet also made me applaud them, in their love, and support for their friend. The person they love, and adore.
This series, may be hard to accept for a lot of viewers, due to the over the top behaviors of the characters, but I think it's purposely been written that way for a reason. I think that the writers, directors, and certainly the producers want their viewers to understand, that in reality, most people rarely "fit" into the identities that are preferred in these BLs, and that's perfectly fine.
