I don’t know if the script of this show is already done or if any of the show runners ever check out these kind of forums (I know a few directors do), but if they are listening, can you please learn some lessons from Revenged Love?
Revenged Love is so popular and successful because it is superbly entertaining, the characters are endearing but also flawed and red flags, there is non stop action, comedy and plot movement, the manipulative tactics of the characters are very interesting.
I feel the basic plot of ADAAP has the same ingredients to be successful, if only the script is strong enough. The pilot is comedic, spicy and fast paced, the characters are manipulating and plotting, there’s like a love hexagon with Tay, New, Oab, Poon and Marc’s characters. We know Tay can play a red flag character very well.
I just hope the show runners don’t dilute the potential of this show and make it boring/bland. Please let characters be red flags, please keep the comedy fun and not cringy, please let there be no filler scenes. Pls learn from Revenged Love and let the characters be manipulative and scheming, make the show spicy and not simplistic and slow.
They are the leads in 3 gentlebros and I’m Tee, Me too. You can watch those if you’re curious. I don’t really like the latter though, it’s kinda weird.
I don't understand the brothers' relationship either. Are they really brothers?
I am trying not to fill in the blanks using the novel because apparently the author said they are different entities and she changed stuff from the novel. Based on the show itself, they have a weird tension between them which hardly seems brotherly. Wang Shuo says stuff which makes it feel like Wang Zhen has tension with their family, Wang Zhen gets way too angry at Wang Shuo’s behavior at the party when he follows around Chi Cheng. Plus Wang Xhen directly drawing a parallel between CC and WSW and then him and WS, thinking that only he can give Wang Shuo what he needs and CC can’t, it all doesn’t seem like a platonic brotherly relationship.
I wish the show had clarified it a bit more, but I guess it’s up to audience interpretation.
One comment about the miscommunication in the last few episodes. CC hid stuff from WSW and needed closure from Wang Shuo, but he clearly saw through everything WSW was doing and saying. He understood that WSW was insecure and wouldn’t trust CC’s love for him at the moment. CC was hurt by the YueYue thing, sure, but he broke up with WSW because he saw how WSW was just not ready to accept his love at that point.
It was WSW who felt guilty about the deception, was insecure about the past and thus misunderstood CC’s love for him. But when he needed support in his bereavement, CC showed up for him.
The only thing they needed to clear up were the few misunderstandings WSW had due to Wang Shuo. Now, as long as CC and GCY are able to maintain proper boundaries, they should be all good lmao
The emotional scenes with the mom were very well done. Everyone in this cast does good acting.
I’m glad Wang Shuo has his “brother” by his side and got closure and can heal now. Also … the vibes between them are something … wish their relationship was clarified a bit more lol
WSW and CC are so cute together! I need to see more of XS and GCY settled and in love as well.
CC and GCY reconciled and continue to be obsessed with each other’s sex lives, but I guess no one is surprised at that by now …
Xiao Shuai deserves to punch Chi Cheng in his face at least ten times.
CC keeps on clinging to his bf and doesn’t let XS spend time with him, he keeps being creepy and inappropriate towards XS, and the plan to get him into GCY’s bed is so whack 😂
Just go full on 1A on him Xiao Shuai, we support you!
I understand that being an actor in Thailand is hard! But I can’t imagine Pond doing this type of series’s…
The majority of Thai bl audience is the domestic school/college going demographic. So school and uni bls will always be popular and will never stop being made, because that reflects the majority of the audience.
What should stop, and what fans should advocate for, is to stop casting older actors in these teenaged/early 20s student roles. Age appropriate casting is important. But then, some actors may actually prefer some roles …
It’s because he always drinks and plays with GCY whenever he has a fight with WS. So he is like someone for…
You need to calm down if you think this is arguing. This is a normal interaction on a public forum meant for discussion. I don’t “think”anything, I’m just quoting from the regular translation.
Grown man acting like a child gives me the creeps. Earth needs to stop doing such roles for real. Actually Thai bl as a whole has this problem of type casting some older actors into these childish kind of roles, it’s just creepy at this point. Looking at you too, Gun Attaphan, a thirty year old man acting like an immature kid is not endearing.
It’s because he always drinks and plays with GCY whenever he has a fight with WS. So he is like someone for…
The novel is very poly and shows explicit sexual attraction between the characters. I don’t think it’s subjective. Literal quote from CC to GCY “Am I good enough to still fuck you?”, which means they have fucked before. I don’t know what conversations you are referring to that the writer intended to show no romantic feelings. They might not be romantic with each other but they are clearly sexually attracted to each other in the novel.
Hell, CC wants to sleep with XS multiple times in the novel too. He makes comments about that to XS and GCY both. XS wants to sleep with WSW. The novel is very poly, not subjective at all.
is there any explanation in novel that why CC keep kissing and calling out GCG's name when he's drunk also does…
There are differences between the series and the novel so both should be taken as separate entities. The author said the same, don’t use the novel to fill in the blanks, because she changed a lot from the novel. The four of them are quite poly in the novel, for eg, CC wants to sleep with Xiao Shuai multiple times. XS is very attracted to WSW, WSW loves kissing XS etc.
Based on the series only, I think it’s clear there is a lot of love between CC and GCY and it’s natural to be attracted to each other on some level when they are best friend soulmates and both are gay. BUT ultimately they are in love with WSW and XS respectively and don’t want to take their own connection to a romantic angle. Maybe it’s like the Doc said, they are not compatible cause they are both tops 😂
It’s because he always drinks and plays with GCY whenever he has a fight with WS. So he is like someone for…
I mean, there is like explicit sexual attraction between CC and GCY in the novel. Much more than even in the show. Idk why you think reading the novel shows the opposite.
This is a fun fluffy watch and very old school yaoi. A little bit of My Stubborn vibes, with the “teaching how to date”, bathroom hookups, and a super thirsty seme.
It’s not doing anything new but it’s really entertaining to watch.
So why did Wei decide to say those harsh words to Chi?! why push him away? Even if he's totally convinced that…
He thinks a) CC loves WS more, b) feels guilty about the Yue Yue thing, c) would rather control the breakup by pushing him away rather than wait for the axe to fall, d) is probably unsettled by the GCY and CC dynamic as well.
GMMTV just makes boring, crappy BLs, and a bunch of their actors can't even act.
There you go again revealing how much you don’t understand how acting works and only focus on sex scenes. You really need to get laid, you seem extremely desperate and frustrated.
The leads in my stubborn are 10 times the actors that any of the Dmd soft porn shit shows, like the execrable Cutie Pie which you like of course. Because guess what? There’s more to acting than NC scenes, which you would know if you can stop your gooning and focus on anything else.
polyvibes as in CC - GCY - Wang Shuo? Like that they were more in a threeway relationship or more implied but…
Poly vibes between the main 4, CC, WSW, GCY and XS. From the novel excerpts I have seen, except for GCY and WSW, there’s solid attraction and some form of sexual activity between all the other combinations 😂
So in the breakup scene, both WSW and CC are intentionally saying hurtful things to set each other free. CC understands that WSW is lying to him here but WSW mostly doesn’t, because there are other factors, like CC’s absences due to his mother’s illness, which makes him think CC is spending time with Wang Shuo.
Once CC and WSW get back together, and CC and GCY fully patch up their friendship, they should figure out how to set boundaries lol. Ya ya, CC and GCY are best friend soulmates, but I don’t think either of their bfs are that comfortable with them being that handsy. WSW and Xiao Shuai won’t be as unstable as Wang Shuo to crash out, but they will be a bit insecure for sure. The novel has more poly vibes, the show is not going there as much.
I think TayNew have very good romantic chemistry together, I like all the series they have starred in.
Tay and Gun have a playful, brotherly chemistry. They were fun in 3 gentlebros, it’s very similar to their real life dynamic.

I just hope the show runners don’t dilute the potential of this show and make it boring/bland. Please let characters be red flags, please keep the comedy fun and not cringy, please let there be no filler scenes. Pls learn from Revenged Love and let the characters be manipulative and scheming, make the show spicy and not simplistic and slow.

Miss XS and GCY, give me more of their plot!
I hope Wang Shuo has a happy ending.
