It's hard to be really positive about this. The budget is low, the actors aren't bad but at 13yo they're too young to be in this sort of series and the subtitles leave much to be desired, especially its use of pronouns. You'd also think the few times they're not fighting or ignoring each other when they have decided to be boyfriends, there might be a little kiss; no such luck. Indeed, even in the only shower scene, the boy's nipples are blurred. It's all very prurient. In the course of the story, a character named Earn is mentioned numerously who one assumes is a boy (like in Love Sick 2024) but it turns out he's a girl. A regular prop is a single condom, which given the lack of anything remotely romantic happening, is there probably just for titillation. I hope Series 2 is an improvement but it isn't very likely.
I've seen some ghastly mothers in BL series over the years but in sheer awfulness no one beats Cir's mother. How she treats Cir sounds like child abuse. His back story is truly lamentable. Fortunately, he has a mind of his own and does his best to stand up to her and I'm damn sure he won't let her separate him from his beloved Phu who for the first time in his life allows him to experience real happiness. We know he's been interested in Phu for four years and inserted himself into Phu's life in unusual circumstances, then quickly became boyfriends in all but name. Their love scene in Ep. 5 sizzled and I especially liked how it finished, something we rarely see.
guys should I start watching this?? I have a huge expectation
Yes, start watching it. Phu is cute, Cir is handsome, their chemistry is spot on (the love scene in Ep. 5 sizzled), they make a truly lovely couple and the story has its mystery, is well told and with the added entertainment from the side characters, there's a lot going for this series.
It's what you could call a 'creeper', in that it improves with each episode. I like that Nom Juet sees Phra Aek as a good guy, which fundamentally he is, and as a leading man, it's rare to have someone with facial hair but with his long hair style and hippie demeanour, it suits him. He's not bad looking either. Although it didn't progress much in the second episode, the next one looks as though things will get more interesting. This is definitely worth sticking with.
The thing about cheating: neither of the boys are married - Nakari lives with an asexual guy and Hagiwara lives with a frigid girlfriend, so technically, if they look for sex on the side, it can't really be called cheating and if their partners find out, they're in no position to criticise or complain, so good on them. Fortuitous, serendipitous, call it what you will. They're both in the same sex-starved environment and having found each other and like each other, taking it to the next step is not that unexpected, particularly as both of them are attractive in different ways so they complement each other. Furthermore, even if one of them isn't gay, as we've seen countless times, fluid sexuality is increasingly common. The thought of releasing their pent-up sexual frustrations with each other will be as surprising for them as it will be deeply satisfying.
It's lovely to see how the two pairs, working together on their dual tasks, gradually realise their attraction to each other through looks, touches, and, in one instance, an accidental kiss. Next week can't come soon enough.
A movie I've been meaning to watch for years, it displays the dissolute and hedonistic life of a group of gay guys in Taipei. There's not much more to it than that can be easily discerned though apparently there is a plot of sorts. Can be seen on YouTube.
Rak's father's rejection was probably the fiercest I've ever seen. It seemed to come out of nowhere and it was wrong of him not to listen to Rak so it fell to other family members to bring him around. Full marks to Rak, though, for standing firm. It all paid off. Once more, they were a happy and united family. I'm satisfied with the way this section was covered. A minor point: Meunfah coming from a wealthy family was never mentioned, but it's understandable - the mercenary aspect was never a consideration, it was always the social and traditional values that were paramount, but the times they are a changing, for just this week LGBT citizens of Thailand were able to marry legally, a milestone in gay rights and the first SE Asian country to bestow them.
Someone has recently uploaded the series to YouTube in a most unsatisfactory manner - not stating the original name of the series, giving each episode a different title and not numbering them so you don't know what order to watch them. It is, however, available on Daily Motion if you're willing to put up with the ads, which I did as I decided to watch it a second time.
It's not the happiest of stories and is told mainly in retrospect and given the year it came out - 2017 - that the main character had to suffer for as long as he did is unfortunate but predictable. Even though it tries to end on a relatively happy note, I found it unsatisfying, too short when it leapt to the present day and I felt this final sequence could have been done much better overall.
it's hard to see exactly what Jun is really up to. On the one hand, he appears to be all business, working with Po to make sure the MV works out well, but on the other, he's not making it easy for Thame and Po to cement their attraction for each other and let it become romantic. At least they were finally able to have their movie date.
Am I the only one who wants more of pepperjj?? Can we ship them also in P10L?? 😅🥰
First time I've seen JJ kiss anyone, even if it was just on the cheek. But the bigger question is, why are they suddenly appearing this late in the series? How do they fit in?
I think it's futile to speculate as to how Cir came to be in a parallel universe or even if either of them died at some point (I certainly hope not) and then there's the two guys who attack Cir and the stern woman giving orders at the end of the episode in relation to Cir. It's all a mystery, deliberately so, therefore all we can do is watch and wait to work it out as everyone intended.
Suddenly appearing on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luvVmjITfQQ - on the heels of Neko Samurai, this 2017 movie is not far removed in substance from those series. Kagerota, a rogue ninja, finds a cat with a red nose after his father disappears in a puff of smoke and believes he has been transformed into a ginger cat. The story becomes a little convoluted, reaches what could be called an anti-climax and ends happily. It's engaging, well done and passes the time nicely.
I like this and the story has potential with its diverse range of characters coping with their little problems while still having to get on with the people around them. Even though it looks unlikely at this point, I think we're going to have two romantic couples - the younger brother and the art teacher (obvious) and the older brother (who we first saw browsing semi-naked men on his phone) and the widower/next door neighbour who is a loner and eschews help and company, though I expect circumstances will force a change.
It's the unpredictability of Bu Shi that adds more life and colour to the story as he works out exactly what Ever 4 is to him. I want more of the cute side couple.
The suspense is killing me. Thame wants to kiss Po so badly but something is holding him back. Po feels the same but not with the same intensity. When they do kiss, and I hope it's soon, it better be one for the ages.
Such an unhappy ending. I think Bible telling Jed he has a wife and kid is untrue, said for a reason only known to himself. Their easy intimacy belies any suggestion that Bible is really married.
