I'm do not understand why people are against this couple. The actors are only 4 years apart, and I'm assuming…
This text that we debate has only been published one day. The original has been published for two days. You can verify it in this section below. But I eliminated this other part from that other text because it had no relationship with the series because I was convinced that it was not a series in which there was pedophilia or a relationship between a teenager and an adult. And then I decided to publish it independently to state my position on the subject. But I don't think it makes any difference whether I was also confused or not at some point. That question is the least interesting. TRUE?
I'm do not understand why people are against this couple. The actors are only 4 years apart, and I'm assuming…
Hello. I was never confused. From the first moment I published a writing in which I stated that Sean is not a teenager. In it I say: "I consider that the low score in the ranking has to do with the fact that some MDL users consider Sean an underage teenager. I consider that he must be between 19 or 20 years old, and is a second-year student. from the University with a specialty in Marketing and Digital Management. I infer this from the conversation between him and Ting Fei, his elder, a character played by Kaia Lee, a few minutes into the first episode. Edr text is still published in this same section. But I decided at that moment to eliminate all the rest of the content, that is, to eliminate this text in which we are debating, because I did not think at that moment it would be necessary, since the series does not touch on a fact of pedophilia, nor does it touch on a fact in that one of the members of the couple is a minor and the other is an adult. Then I decided to eliminate the text of the review so as not to make it so extensive, and leave only the rest of the text published, as it is here, both independent.

Hello. I agree with you in your presentation. When I notice obvious pedophilia, where someone dominates, when someone is dominated, I become alert. But I don't even reject it, unless the director tries to justify it. But, what if the message of the work is to condemn pedophilia, to make this complex and criminal issue visible so that we reflect? Sometimes we do not understand the objectives, the approaches of the creators, and we reject, and the worst thing is that we drag others who are not even going to verify. But there are also those who come here with their false puritanism to condemn fictional works for exploring complex themes, and ignore real crimes in everyday life. I take great care of those. They are worse than pedophiles because of their double standards. How good it has been to chat with you and the user Thisong.
You have to imagine being only 13 years old and being forced to get married. That is the sad reality of 28 girls every minute around the world, according to the UN Human Rights Office. I would like to know what the false moralists who cry out loud when they suspect that something that does not reach that extreme, since no one forces anything, happens in this very fictional fiction, say about this very real reality. Every year, at least 15 million girls are forcibly married before reaching the age of majority in the world, according to the UN Human Rights Office, which has drawn attention to this situation in a nation as developed as the United States. I would like to know what false moralists who cry out loud when they suspect that something that does not reach that extreme, since no one forces anything, happens in this very fictional fiction, say about that very real reality. Of the 50 states in the United States, only nine prohibit this form of abuse. Ironically, the minimum age for divorce in the United States varies by state. In general, most states allow divorce from the age of 18, which means that in most of that country, marriage with children is approved, but they cannot separate from the couple: because they do not have old enough for it. They would have to wait at least 5 years against their will to get divorced, if they so wish. Still, and at the expense of local laws, 80% of child marriages in the United States end in divorce. I would like to know what the false moralists who cry out loud when they suspect that something that does not reach that extreme, since no one forces anything, happens in this very fictional fiction, say about this very real reality.
I believe that the low score in the ranking has to do with the fact that some MDL users consider Sean an underage teenager. I consider that he must be between 19 or 20 years old, and is a second-year student at the University with a specialty in Marketing and Digital Management. I infer this from the conversation between him and Ting Fei, his elder, a character played by Kaia Lee, a few minutes into the first episode. On the other hand, neither Sean nor his classmates wear the characteristic Taiwanese high school uniforms. These are green, white and yellow shirts for girls, and khaki or white for boys. These are the colors of the uniforms of thousands of students in Taiwan. We see Sean and the rest of the students wearing ordinary clothes. But still, I want to leave my opinion on the possibility (in this and so many other series, shorts and films) that one of the characters is a minor and the other an older person. I know that by speaking positively about a series that exposes a topic as controversial as reciprocated love, I repeat, reciprocated love, between a minor and an adult and the consequences that this can have, is enough for them to accuse you of being a pedophile covert. Modern societies have a widespread taboo on a supposedly pedophilic relationship. However, this is a real reality, pardon the redundancy, that it is there, that we can see it every day in our daily lives: that minors fall in love with adult people, and above all that adult people fall in love with young people. In this the key word is "enamoren", that is, love. Real people, of flesh and blood, involved in this type of relationship, want to live their love despite laws against it, or social customs. Another reality that anyone can confirm is that many long-term couples, heterosexual or homosexual, are made up of people with a large age difference. We can also verify that many of these relationships begin when the minor is fifteen or sixteen years old, and last almost their entire life. The social problem is knowing how to distinguish between abuse by an adult "who forces or dominates" and when two people, one a minor with respect to the other, can love and respect each other as equals. All of the above and what I will express now, I have expressed on other MDL pages and in other spaces, both digital and physical, and here I repeat myself: If society did not ignore it, there could be ways to help these young people face a relationship, certainly premature, but which can be not only loving, but also mutually enriching, as it was in classical Greek times in the form of pederasty. At that time everything was institutionalized and that protected both parties. In the event that this problem was reflected in 'First Note of Love', then this would make me sympathize with the older protagonist, for his innocence, for his decision to love a minor, despite possible social rejection. And this is already difficult. In that case, at least personally it will make me think (once again) about the issue of pedophilia, not as something that can simply be rejected, but as a complex issue that requires further exploration.
Sean must be 19 or 20 years old, and is a second-year student at the University majoring in Marketing and Digital Management, which is inferred from the conversation between him and Ting Fei, his senior, a character played by Kaia Lee.

Where did you see any news about the Thai police attacking LGBTQIA+ members? Maybe there are problems with Transgender…
You put evidence to confirm what you affirm with a law that is not even effective yet, that has just been approved by the Senate but still has a way to go before being effective, a law whose draft has undergone modifications and has been shelved for more 15 years, this time in which it has been presented and brought to debate in the Senate, which has not approved it until now. Your arguments are weak and ridiculous.
Where did you see any news about the Thai police attacking LGBTQIA+ members? Maybe there are problems with Transgender…
Você coloca evidências para confirmar o que afirma com uma lei que ainda nem entrou em vigor, que acabou de ser aprovada pelo Senado mas ainda tem um caminho a percorrer antes de entrar em vigor, uma lei cujo projeto sofreu modificações e foi arquivado por mais 15 anos, desta vez em que foi apresentado e levado a debate no Senado, que até agora não o aprovou. Seus argumentos são fracos e ridículos.
Where did you see any news about the Thai police attacking LGBTQIA+ members? Maybe there are problems with Transgender…
You arrive from time to time, after 5 or 6 months, to continue denying a reality that everyone knows. Just reading the latest documents from Amnesty International or the thousands of Thai activists for the rights of the LBGT+ community on social media would be enough to uncover your lies and manipulation. Sex, prostitution and the image of a free country for gays in that country are bait to attract tourists. Nothing else. I have also been to Thailand, not as a tourist, but on work functions, and I know perfectly well the situation that Thai LGBT+ people suffer. You can manipulate other naive people, but not me. First of all, I gain nothing by telling a lie. Secondly, the lie that I would tell if I repeated the same thing you say could be exposed in seconds without having to travel to Thailand or being Thai by birth. A search on the internet, going to the profiles of Thai LGBT activists, asking Thai members of MDL who do not lie because they suffer from harassment and discrimination, would be enough. I hope that everything changes soon, when it is firm, when it is law, because it is not yet, (and there you incur another lie and manipulation) the equal marriage law, after the Government cabinet and the king of Thailand sign the law. Law, well we hope that they will sign it and then it will be published in the Royal Gazette, and it will come into force 120 days after its publication after having been approved by the Thai Senate last Tuesday, June 18 of this year, with 130 votes in favor , 4 against and 18 abstentions, in its third and final reading. But if that happens and becomes an achievement for the Thai LGBT+ community, it will not be thanks to individuals like you, but to many others who do denounce the discrimination and harassment suffered by people from that human group.
A topic as suffocating as a debt and the possible loss of a family property that, incidentally, is the source of income for some of the characters and a meeting place for everyone, remains a joke. The premise is set out and follows a structure in which opposite poles alternately repel and attract each other. Jun, Fourth, Paris and Taylor don't seem to me to be characters with a life of their own. The intimacy that emerges between the four main characters does not develop organically when their performances are so flat. A plot as tenuous as that of the series requires much stronger characters to sustain itself. It's a shame that what should be a passionate intensity between the two male protagonists loses steam almost from the very beginning, before a rather artificial conflict gives rise to the relationship between the two girls. In a series that should be all character and setting, and 'Sky Valley' falls short with the first but succeeds in the second. The beautiful Philippine landscapes, both mountain and beach, end up forming an aesthetically coherent background for interesting characters who are otherwise not developed as much as they should. The story becomes an emotional and psychological journey, where the characters search for answers and comfort in the midst of their personal problems, anguish and uncertainty. But the series lacks a well-constructed narrative and convincing performances, yet it invites you to reflect on the complexity of love relationships and the search for identity in a constantly changing world.
This episode is the one I liked the most. The two boys do not stop growing. The train scene is unforgettable. The next episode brings surprises. What beautiful memories they are creating, what a solid bond binds our protagonists. They have created an indissoluble bond between them. How nice when one sinks into the other's eyes, and they smile. Mudmme's father likes Half as his son-in-law. That's why it bothers him. They made me laugh. What a beautiful smile Chokun has. In the images from the next episode he looks beautiful dressed as "The Beast". Every Friday, after watching the corresponding episode, I come here and say the same thing: "In a BL series I am not interested in seeing a heterosexual relationship, but this couple captivates me. They are both cute and I like their respective performances. I like them their smiles, their looks, their silences..." And now that I see that Mudmee's mother is Japanese, I remembered that the directors of TV Asahi have celebrated the Thai version of the Kieta Hatsukoi manga, and have assured that they will continue working with Thai filmmakers to adapt other mangas. The names of executives from Shueisha Inc. and the Japanese television channel who have been involved in the making of the Thai version appear in the opening credits.
Has anyone noticed that in the last episode, 12, two actors look familiar? It's the "Monster Next Door" series,…
The director of this series is Natavut Leewairoj, while the director of Monster Next Door is Kungfu Nitivat Cholvanichsiri. In this series, the two protagonists of Monster... appear, Big and Park, probably because they are both series from the same television channel, WeTV. I liked that they gave publicity to the other series this way. The writer of Monster Next Door is Earnie Jantawong, and he is a debut screenwriter on this series.
When will we have the first series starring Mon and Pak? I hope soon. The two actors who star in 'Monster Next Door', Big and Park, appeared, although briefly. And for the end, a wedding party, without a wedding, as if to remind the government cabinet and the king of Thailand not to forget to sign the Equal Marriage Law, after having been approved by both chambers of the Legislature.
"Thanks to God I am a drummer" reminded me of a very similar phrase attributed to the Spanish filmmaker Luis Buñuel: "Thanks to God I am an atheist", which has the two qualities that Socrates claimed for philosophy: irony and maieutics. While Diew is reserved and introverted, God is kind, likes small details, and cares about others. He has been aware of his neighbor without having seen his face. A kind of secret crush without knowing it. My expectations for the series were low… let's say zero. But here I am, waiting for the next episode.

Thailand has become the first Southeast Asian country to legalize same-sex marriage, but LGBT+ people still face discrimination in the corporate world.
