Isn't it strange that a Buddhist country has a lot of Catholic high schools
I don't understand the reason for your question, but Thai society is quite tolerant of religions, although Thai Christians do suffer strong opposition from fundamentalist Buddhists. Thai society is NOT tolerant of members of the LGBT community who are harassed and discriminated against. It is NOT tolerant of immigrants or refugees, whom it discriminates against and shows high xenophobia. It is NOT tolerant of women, who are exploited in their workplaces by receiving lower wages than men even though they do the same work, among other forms of exploitation, as well as in their own homes by their husbands and fathers. Anyway, in Thailand human rights are violated every second of the day, but religiously it is quite tolerant. On the other hand, I couldn't tell you how many Catholic schools there are, because if we take into account that less than 1% of the population is Catholic, or Christian properly speaking, among which is Catholic, why so many schools? Who would they be for?
In Thailand, 99%, a very high percentage of the population, declare themselves believers. Buddhism is the predominant religion, with around 95% of the Thai population following its teachings, making it the majority religion in the nation. The second most practiced religion is Islam, with devotees making up 4% of the population, and is concentrated in the south of the country. Then we find 1% made up of Confusionists, Christians, Hindus and Taoists. The truth is that religion in Thailand, especially Buddhist religion due to its influence and historical roots, occupies an important space, since Thailand is the only country in Southeast Asia that has never been conquered by another country, and that is reflected in its strong convictions and deep-rooted culture. Religion is then a fundamental pillar of its culture and a great attraction for all those who travel to that country, reflected in architecture, literature, culture and the arts in general. And this is what is interesting, because the creators of the series have placed the protagonists as followers of Christianity, even Ai's father is the leader of a Christian church. This is something new or very little addressed in the BL series of that country. However, faced with a conflict over dreams in which he sees the future, the protagonist does not hesitate to go to shamans, witches, priestesses and oracles to ask for advice. Screenwriter's slip or religious syncretism? The reality is that this situation comes into conflict, since Christianity makes its followers believe that they do not believe in other religions. If the protagonist were a Buddhist it would be much more believable, since the only religion that accepts believing in other religions and deities is Buddhist. Being a Buddhist does not demand exclusive loyalty from you, which is what all other religions do, by not accepting that you can have any other belief than their own.
Very interesting, they are broadcasting two episodes per week, it could be the same day or the next day. The Rebound is one of the other series in this case and much more progress is made this way. The first two episodes, very good, interesting. You have to continue watching the series.
As I said to the other person who, like you, is an ANTI MOSBANK fan: "I offer my arguments about my ideas and…
As has been established, I have a very strong opinion about the series. And you intend to change it with your words? I don't doubt you can. I consider myself a person with coherent and logical thinking, well structured between my way of thinking, feeling and acting. I am capable of not only listening to others, but also analyzing what others have said, even if their opinions are contrary to mine. So, if you want me to change my opinion, you would have to polish it much more, instead of presenting such weak arguments.
Even with your explanation that "But the series has no time stamp, so it could also be set in 2025", what guarantee is there that this law will pass the procedures that still remain to be approved and become effective at the end of this year or next year? NONE. As I expressed in the post: "This law could come into force at the end of the year if it passes a series of formal procedures, since now, after being ratified by both chambers of the Legislature, the law will be sent to the Government Cabinet and must subsequently be signed by the King of Thailand. After this protocol the legislation would finally come into force 120 days after its publication in the Royal Gazette". Clearer, neither the water. I hope so for the good of the members of the Thai LGBT+ community. I am an active promoter of laws like this not only in Thailand, a country where LGBT+ people continue to be discriminated against and harassed today. Today that wedding is FAKE. And, as I said, there is NO guarantee that the law will be legal and effective tomorrow, since it still lacks some essential requirements for it to be legal and effective. It is good that this law has reached this point, where its approval is almost real after what happened in the Senate last June. That is the reality that the series could expose. However, some unwary people have believed that it is now possible for two men to get married in Thailand. In 'Wedding Plan', for example, there was a fake wedding between the character played by Sunny and the one played by Pak, but in the series it was explicitly clarified that it was NOT real and the members of the LGBT+ community continued fighting for it to one day be real. If I remember correctly, it was the parents of Pak's character who made this correct clarification, including a complaint. Today, about a year after that series aired, the reality remains the same. In 'Cherry Magic' the wedding took place on 06/19/2024, but that is something purely symbolic, since the creators knew in advance that the day before that date the debate on that law would take place in the Thai Senate, and they gave In fact, the law would be approved by the environment created around it, but it is not yet effective, as you can verify with a click on Google.
If you give this a 10 we already know what shitty tastes you have...
As I said to the other person who, like you, is an ANTI MOSBANK fan: "I offer my arguments about my ideas and qualifications. If I were you, I would dedicate myself to refuting them with my own arguments, instead of devoting myself to diatribes and launching "fireworks" and empty words". I'm sure you don't know, so I'll explain: we base our criteria on subjectivity and the intellectual tools that each person may have to analyze an audiovisual work. You think one way, and I can, based on what has been expressed previously, form a different opinion than yours. And also, as a difference, while some try to insult the other, others act with respect towards those who have a different opinion. Bye bye.
Did you even watch Kieta Hatsukoi. It had 10 episodes not 8. And they didnt need to kiss because the story was…
You are truly obsessed. I wasn't the one who said, "the Thai version is better even without the ending." This was said by user zamperx 4 hours ago, as you can verify.

I don't know what you're talking about about other zamperx comments. I haven't read them. I don't know who is right. I am not interested either, as I have not been involved in that debate. But your reaction comes after a comment of his directed to me: "Thai version is already better even without the ending." I have no followers nor will I leave aside the Japanese version. Only the Japanese series, which I value very much, won't blind me. I will continue to appreciate and enjoy the Thai version until it itself fails, if that happens. But I do notice that you are very obsessed with my opinion and comment on the Thai series, to the point that I didn't even respond to two or three of your comments.

Of course, user zamperx has an opinion, just as we all have one, just like you have yours. But all opinions differ in the quality and depth of their argumentation.
A MosBank very biased fan lol You give a 10 after only 4 episodes and you wrote such a very long boring review…
I offer my arguments about my ideas and qualifications. If I were you, I would dedicate myself to refuting them with my own arguments, instead of devoting myself to diatribes and launching "fireworks" and empty words.

The series has no interest in telling Wandee and Yak's story after this ending. And there is no negative in this. A second season? Maybe, but I don't think so. This is the end, a happy ending, as we all hope. What happens with the two of them from here can only be in our minds, what each of us can imagine. And I won't waste a second on this. As for the marriage between Oyei and Cherry, it is totally false. Equal marriage IS NOT YET LAW in Thailand. Yes, the Thai Senate approved on Tuesday, June 18 of this year, with 130 votes in favor, 4 against and 18 abstentions, in its third and final reading, the bill on Equal Marriage, which adds to the great support that he already obtained in March in the House of Representatives. If finally approved, Thailand would become the third country in Asia and the first in Southeast Asia to legalize equal marriage. This law could come into force at the end of the year if it passes a series of formal procedures, since now, after being ratified by both chambers of the Legislature, the law will be sent to the Government Cabinet and must subsequently be signed by the King of Thailand. After this protocol the legislation would finally come into force 120 days after its publication in the Royal Gazette.
The injustice to Taem. Why is she the one that deserves the doctor? She deserved better than that loser who has…
