I don’t know why you keep repeating the word prostitution over and even with capital letters but there is no…
Why, in your opinion, is there no prostitution? Because the hosts aren't victims of a human trafficking network? Don't they have sex with clients in exchange for money? Who says sexual relations ONLY occur when there is penetration? Isn't sexual relations the set of behaviors engaged in by at least two people with the goal of giving and receiving sexual pleasure? Don't the club's directors profit from the sexual exploitation to which these young hosts gladly submit? Isn't this exactly what happens at that place? Isn't it true that sexual relations can include many practices, such as sexual caresses without the need for penetration? Isn't this what happens at the club? Are you one of those who think that for sexual relations to be considered sexual relations, there MUST ONLY be oral sex or intercourse? Isn't it true that the series shows how, once the "service contract" has been agreed upon (true, it's not the young hosts themselves who do this, but the club owners themselves, through the show), both the young host and the person paying for the services go to a private area (instead of closed spaces, they are tables set aside on the same stage, but where other people cannot reach) to have sex, which, as we all know, DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO LEAD TO PENETRATION? I have no doubt that the bodies of these young people seem to have been turned into a commodity.

Why, in your opinion, is there NO prostitution in the series? You only deny it, but you don't provide a single piece of evidence to prove your claim. Is it because the hosts aren't "operating" on street corners, in parks, or on overpasses along any Bangkok road, seeking to be contacted by their clients? Is it because they don't sell their caresses and allow themselves to be touched, groped, fondled, kissed, caressed, have their hands put under their clothes, pinched, obeyed, or prepared drinks to be given to them at the client's request... (all in exchange for money, don't forget) in a brothel or brothel? Because it's not a brothel where they practice their trade? Why isn't there penetration? Is physical contact an essential requirement for it to be considered prostitution? Why aren't the hosts the ones who directly agree on the service contract with the client? This is handled by the venue's management and the system itself, which selects the "winner" who will spend the night with the rentboy or taxiboy for a fee? Isn't it prostitution because we see a single host (Wela) being led from inside the club to the exit where the winner of the bid or auction who paid the highest sum of money to sleep with him in a hotel is waiting in his car, but "look at what a coincidence": the winner is the guy Wela is in love with, that is, the other protagonist? Hey, what if the winner had been someone else, let's say, an elderly man, yes, to put it melodramatically and all, a millionaire who had bid much higher than Khemthis in the auction, therefore, when Wela was led to the car instead of the co-star it would have been someone else? But, of course, if that were the case, it wouldn't be a BL, but a drama series, and that doesn't sell to BL lovers, who like very very very very light narratives, right?
He has three sisters and they all live in the house. Common in Korea for adult children to live at home until…
Thanks for the information. I assume you're referring to the fact that in the webtoon (I haven't read it) the parents make brief appearances at their four children's home, but they haven't appeared in the series yet. I don't remember seeing them. I also don't remember Hee Su or her sisters ever referring to them, asking about their parents, letting us know that even though they're not present at home, they're still alive, etc. I'm sure they'll appear in a future episode. Thanks again.
3 sisters , parents not dead i dont remember the manga well
Hello. Thanks for the tip. I thought it was two sisters and the mother. Doesn't the webtoon say anything about the parents? Doesn't it say why three young people live alone without their parents? This is very strange. Well, thanks again.
Dear Ariel, your analysis is fantastically interesting and perfect. I have been following the series with exactly…
Dear friend. Thank you for your kind words. I haven't read the webtoon, but I've read comments about which of the three boys Da On chooses. From the very beginning, you, as a viewer, decide which one you should be with. With this series, Yang Kyung Hee is surpassing herself. In The Time of Fever, she already gave us the signal that she's a must-have in the world of BL. Thanks again.
He’s very good. He promised me we can start a discussion group on Asian BL and I’m still waiting But boy do…
I just fixed a paragraph and added a new one: "For this reason, "Fou4Mod" decides to get revenge by asking his close friend Baabin for help, to do their nails together in an attempt to make Chian jealous and experience being in a "waiting" state himself. We will soon discover that Baabin has been secretly in love with "Fou4Mod" for years. But what if Baabin falls in love with "Fou4Mod"? What if Bua likes Baabin? Wouldn't a romance between the two be the ideal solution to the conflict that the four protagonists are experiencing? What could happen to this love tetracle? However, this won't be a "perfect love square", as Bua likes to date Moo (Bonus Nutthawut Eamchuen), a schoolmate. The interesting thing about the love square in 'Gelboys' is that the character with two suitors is not the main protagonist. The Thai series essentially follows "Fou4Mod", not Chian. It is Chian's romantic decision, not that of "Fou4Mod", which is the axis around which the story revolves; and the romantic decision, which is the core of the story, is not that of the boy who fell in love with the person who introduces him to the world of gel nails.
I wanna watch this but why it's only 2 mins per ep?? 😫
Episodes last only 2 minutes because this is one of the main characteristics of productions filmed in vertical format, i.e. produced specifically for mobile. As a "Vertical Dramas" each episode lasts less than five minutes, so the action happens as quickly as possible. Series in vertical format should be understood more as a genre and not as a simple format, since the duration of the episodes requires being even faster. This type of productions are aimed at a young audience, so their chapters can be viewed when the potential audience to which it is directed is traveling by public transport or enjoying a break from school. The audience will even use their hands to watch the chapter, so the content is therefore brief. With its fragmented visual language, the narrative of series in vertical format is full of quick cuts, screens that slide or split to offer two different perspectives of the story, managing to increase the number of shots that the viewer consumes, and at the same time offering more information in less time.
I actually wouldn't call it "experiments" I stand with the idea that bl actors shouldn't stick to one partner…
I haven't seen much of Joss. I don't usually like the series he's acted in (on MDL I only follow those with LGBT+ content, and among these are BL and Yaoi). Since I don't like the series, either I haven't started watching them or I've abandoned them. Although I don't really like the vampire theme (supernatural, horror... I don't like it), I'm not going to miss the series just because they're the two protagonists. That's why I hope they make a good ship together. Gawin deserves to have his "official partner" now and with this one to film several series, films... In fact, if they already show they have good chemistry it's a sign that things are going well.
