Thank you. I had the idea, I just wanted to confirm it as the episodes aired.

Arguments, do you have at least one argument to refute my ideas? No? What I imagined. Well, until next time..., or rather, until you have arguments (as far as I know these are not bought in any store, neither physical nor virtual) for a debate for which, obviously, you are not prepared, and that is why you have to resort to rhetoric and try to insult, which you can't do either

In episode 4 Po, Thai's father, kidnaps and tortures Jao to force him to tell where his son is and who he is hiding and protecting from him, referring to Kham. Po ends up stabbing Jao's hand with a knife. In a following scene we can see Po at Thai's house, and he demands that he kill or kidnap a person in exchange for the life of Khram's blind woman's mother. This means that Jao betrayed Thai to avoid further torture and ended up revealing where to locate Thai. Thai never questions how it is possible that his father was able to find his whereabouts after three years on the run from him after seeing him for the last time the day Po murdered Khram. Jao does not appear again in that episode, and now reappears, searching with Kram for Phupha so that they can all go and rescue Thai. Jao shows his bandaged hand, a sign that he was tortured. He was never questioned nor did he confess his betrayal. This is one of the details that the creators leave “loose”, without follow-up, in the story.
On the other hand, it's very light on how this was handled: Thai walks into Po's place, shooting and killing his men and, his blood boiling, blinded by hatred and rage over his boyfriend's death. Putting a knife to his neck and not continuing with his revenge is laughable. Yes, it is his father, a person with whom he does not get along well, but the adrenaline there is what governs and directs the actions.

I'm wondering: Is there any BL content in this series?

Based on the advances, in the next episode the "explosion" will occur on the issue denied by some MDL users of prostitution in the series, when these clients of Wela's mother's business tell the poor woman that her son He has been lying to her by saying that he works in a grocery store instead of hosting a club where he sells sexual services to clients. The planned transformation of the Khemthis club will surely include eliminating the obvious prostitution of the hosts. The bad thing is that she does it for the wrong reasons, such as preventing her boyfriend from becoming a prostitute and saving herself jealousy and having to accept what she has reluctantly had to accept in the face of the indifference and abandonment shown by Wela when she pressured him, instead to serve as a social complaint. It's good that BL series explore complex topics such as prostitution, but it would be better if they didn't do it as a mere anecdote. It starts somewhere, so welcome.

What dirty business is Kemthis's aunt referring to? We know well that it is not selling drugs. Will it be the sale of human organs? Will they kidnap clients and murder them to harvest their organs? No I dont think so. Well, sarcasm aside, does the aunt want to win over Khemthis by acting like that? Does the Police allow the accusing party (who is supposedly interested in remaining anonymous, at least during the investigation, raids, etc.), to intervene in the premises inspection process and walk around the club during the raid? I think this would be the only case in the world that something like this happens. Who allows that woman, I mean the aunt, to enter a private place, with security cameras and guards with an unfriendly face, at any time of the day and whenever she feels like it? Did the creators run out of ideas to have to fill screen time with such absurd things? Freya already knows who is making her life impossible, this person getting no one to go to the club, even closing it, how can he stand idly by without even initiating legal action or bribing the Police, something so common in Thailand? How can she be more concerned about one of her workers' red wig? How does Freya allow someone to enter her property to slander her, call her an ex-showgirl, and mock her? Can this be credible?
All of this is “caught by the hair.”

It is true that BL is a light representation, without much depth, about the relationship between homosexual boys or those who discover their homosexuality as they get to know each other and get closer, but the creators have to be credible, they have to develop a credible story. The moment the characters' actions are not correctly justified, the story is no longer credible. And this is exactly what happened in To Be Continued.
When have you seen a darker colored guy in a BL? Why are the so-called “people of color” not represented in these series, when these races are the majority, let's put it that way, in the country?
At its core, BL should not worry about showing the harsh reality of homosexuals in a homophobic society. But if necessary, the series would have to face the situation that the series itself, perhaps unintentionally, has created. Only Boo! is currently being broadcast, about two teenagers who meet and the miracle of love at first sight occurs. The way the series is going, the creators don't have to worry about deep issues. If homophobia were to appear, for example, other approaches would have to be made. My comments and review in a series like that would not say what I say about To Be Continued…, at least for now. And I hope it's not necessary. I mean, I would like that romance to remain as silly as it has been until now.
Why in BLs do the protagonists often appear as orphans or do their parents live abroad or not care about their children? So as not to have to deal with reality: the Thai parents, the family, do not accept their gay children, they even expel them from the house. In To Be Continued, the last scene was practically the visit of the two protagonists to Ji's father's house seeking his acceptance or recognition of the relationship. While in a European or North American or Latin American series this would be ignored, as family approval is not necessary, here they seek it, but they even leave it as something to be resolved late. And they prepared the viewer that the father would not put up much resistance because his wife and Ji's mother told him before dying to watch over and protect the two children. It is a kind of apology to the homophobic and conservative society.
In Call It What You Want they do not focus so much on the romance, or the two romances, as they have a greater commitment to denouncing the evils inherent to the entertainment industry itself, especially those related to BL series.

Hello. The love between the two boys is evident. There can be no misunderstandings or doubts between them, nor between them and the viewer. That justification given by the creators is laughable for not exposing reality. It would have been better to give another justification, such as the helpful "if I tell him that I love him, I don't know how he will react and I'm afraid of losing my friendship", before disappointing an intelligent public eager for things to be said by their name.
I started giving it a maximum score and I revalued and even modified my review based on the disappointment and frustration that the series caused in me. I consider this to be the series that has disappointed me the most of all the ones I have seen. I like the actors and their characters. Having them developed more as a couple based on Ji's fear and insecurity of recognizing his sexuality and therefore rejecting Achi would have been explosive. Explicitly showing how Ji left behind that fear, that internalized homophobia, how he accepted himself as gay would have made this series a cult series.

I don't expect the viewer to be some kind of activist. And why couldn't it be? Aren't many also members of the LGBT+ community? Why not stand in solidarity with your Thai or other brothers? Because perhaps in their liberal European countries or other continents harassment and discrimination against homosexuals no longer exist, they consider that they should ignore other realities? As I said, I do not intend for the viewer to be an activist, although they very well could be, especially if they are a being who is hurt by the suffering of others. I only intend to present my ideas, even if they do not coincide with those of others. I also look for entertainment, but I cannot remain silent and fold my arms in the face of the complicit silence of series like these that have potential and can be a perfect tool to denounce discrimination.

How good it would be if instead of rhetoric, users expressed their ideas with arguments. Not having arguments with which to defend their ideas, frequent use is made of diatribes, laughter and insults.

The series is not about misunderstandings or lack of communication or inexperience. It is impossible for one to doubt the other with the way they treat each other, look at each other, talk to each other, touch each other, converse with their eyes and create a whole sexual tension around them. It is impossible for one to doubt the other after making love. The facial expressions and body language of the two speak for themselves. They were two passionate lovers who gave themselves to each other.
And then, the breakup came and with it the excuse that they were inexperienced teenagers, who had a misunderstanding and lacked communication. It is crude that the creators use an excuse like this to justify the suffering of two people who love each other and had to live ten years away from each other.
In series like 'The Promise' a boy hides being in love with his friend, but his decision not to confess his love is justified for fear of breaking the relationship between the two. Although the justification is hackneyed and overexploited, it is much more credible than what some have believed in this series.
In 'To Be Continued' the two boys are in love. And while one is open to the relationship, the other does not dare to take the next step. They are in a world and a society that prevents them from leaving the established rules. Going outside the norm has always implied social exclusion. Ji is a victim of internalized homophobia. Logic indicates what the series is silent about. That's the real reason why Ji doesn't open up to love. Ten years had to pass and society changed something, not much, because today the relationship between two people of the same sex is still illegal, as equal marriage is not recognized, so that they could finally unite.
Why can't two men who love each other and have no other impediment than the one indicated above declare their love and be together?
Ji and Achi did not lack communication or age. Ji and Achi lacked the courage of the creators to address sensitive topics, such as internalized homophobia. Ji and Achi lacked the courage of the creators to denounce the harassment and discrimination suffered by real, flesh-and-blood gay youth depicted in Thai BL fiction. Ji and Achi lacked the courage of the creators to criticize the discourse that seeks to suffocate minorities by stating that being homosexual is something abnormal and depraved. Ji and Achi lacked the courage of the creators to propose to reflect on internalized homophobia, on the many generations that have been affected by that intrinsic message that society constantly sends you and that tells you that you are not normal, that there is something that fails with you and you have to hide, make yourself invisible.
Perhaps this year a law will be approved in Thailand that allows equal marriage and with it the recognition of homosexual relationships. The reality is that today this possibility is closer than ever. We'll see then how the creators' discourse changes and they risk saying what they don't say today.

It is necessary to change the narrow mentality of some. Series like this are not simple BL with their very light love plots between two boys. They are series with LGBT+ themes, it is LGBT+ cinema that addresses the various ways in which the stories of the LGBT+ community can be portrayed. The producers themselves do not recognize it as BL. They even incorporate the "Scandal" label. MDL also does not recognize it as BL. You can verify it.

Hello. It is good that Thai series like this explore controversial topics such as prostitution, encouraging debate and reflection among audiences. It is also necessary for the public to stop denying the obvious and join the debate in an unprejudiced manner. BL series have put a certain audience in a bubble that reveals itself every time something is pointed out that goes against the conception they have about these products. They believe, for example, that Thai homosexuals are not discriminated against and homosexual relationships are recognized, and as proof they use the series themselves with the two boys kissing, when in that country marriage between people of the same sex is not yet recognized and, therefore, Therefore, these people encounter problems in everyday life that heterosexual people do not encounter. And that is discrimination. They are pleased just to see two boys kissing, how they relate, etc., and they do not want to see other topics related to the same series and the characters represented, such as the same fight for the rights of LGBT+ people, racial discrimination (When have you seen a darker colored person in a BL series?), among other topics. In that club the hosts prostitute themselves. Clients pay with drinks to have sex with them, and even if penetration does not occur, it is still sex, therefore, it is prostitution.

The causes of prostitution are the same at any latitude, such as obtaining money to maintain the house, paying for studies, food, medication or surgery, etc. Wela hides the essence of her work from her mother. For her it is "working", unaware of what work she does.
In Thailand, prostitution is illegal, despite having clubs like this one where prostitution is practiced and promoted on the internet like any drink or perfume. 'Doi Boy', the 2023 Thai film, is one of the audiovisuals from that country in which male prostitution is addressed. The protagonist, Sorn, played by Ud Awat Ratanapintha, is a Burmese refugee who, hoping for a better life, seeks refuge and forges a new identity as a sex worker in Thailand.
In France, prostitution was legal until April 6, 2016, when the French National Assembly voted to punish clients of prostitutes. It is illegal to run brothels, pimp and pay for sexual relations with minors under 18 years of age, although the age of consent for sexual relations in the country is 15 years.

No, not everything is pure sarcasm. There is sarcasm, but also analysis from logic and not reactions from emotions.

What I like most about the series is its romanticism. Can you imagine what it's like to watch your boyfriend make out with other guys because it's part of his job? Can you imagine what it's like to see your boyfriend being mauled, touched, bitten by one guy now and another in a while because they paid to do all that and more? But the most romantic moment is when your boyfriend, after finishing with the client or telling him: "Wait for me a moment, I'm going to the bathroom", you wait for him with open arms in the hallway or in the parking lot of the premises and you kiss him in the same places where you can still smell the client's breath and find their fingerprints. Can you imagine what it's like to share and mix your sweat (I don't dare think about other bodily fluids) with that of others? The idea excites me. As for My boyfriend arrives from his parents' house, I'll propose to him. Maybe one of those he'll accept it.

Do I have to think that at this point Kram is in love with Thai and not Phupha? Weren't his "last thoughts" for the man who decided to abandon him and leave him alone with the killers? If Kram was saved it was because it took a long time to decide to kill him. It was probably something like "let's wait for dawn." Where was Thai in all this?

I already told myself that the trope of "one falling on the other and almost kissing" was missing. This time it was the seme on the uke. Or did we have it before and I didn't notice? If I abandoned the other series starring MaxNat because of the latter, which I never liked, I'm tolerating 'Two Worlds' well. I have no doubt I finished it.
And I really like the MonPak couple, that is, WayuJao. More time on screen is needed for them to develop their characters and conflicts.

I wonder: When a client pays to have sex (it doesn't have to involve penetration to be sex) with a prostitute, not in a brothel or in the middle of a public street, but in a luxurious hostess bar, which in this case is what same, because it will continue to be prostitution, and in which the prostitutes are for sale as if they were a snack displayed on the counter of a convenience store, and the client leaves dissatisfied, is he within his right to go to another club? looking for what you didn't find in this? Of course, Thailand is full of clubs like this, despite prostitution being illegal. In a case like the one described in which the client cannot satisfy his desires, not because the prostitute refuses to offer the sexual services promised and for which the client paid, but because of the jealousy of the prostitute's boyfriend who, to prevent him from her boyfriend becomes a prostitute, he chooses to kick the client out of the club, does the client also have the right to report on social media his annoyance at not having satisfied his desires? It is not and will not be the first case in real life. A simple google search will prove it.
In other series and films the topic of prostitution, male or female, is addressed, something as old as the human being himself on the face of the Earth, but commentators do not refuse to deny the obvious. Isn't this a real problem in the entire world? Why bother when this phenomenon appears in a BL? Why don't we want to accept it? Deep down, each of the people who watches the series knows what it is about. However, he prefers to look the other way instead of discussing the main theme that the series proposes. The main theme of the series is not the trapeze show nor the romance between the two protagonists and the secondary couples, but the illegal activity of the club.
In all these, Wela seems to have no need to prostitute herself. He is a university student, they live in a good house, he has a loving family, a mother with a food business always full of customers in which he helps while he is not studying or working as a prostitute. And now a rich boyfriend capable of paying about 400 thousand baht in drinks at an auction to enjoy the host's sexual services.

In this last episode, when it became clear what the illegal work of the hosts is, that is, being "reserved and auctioned by clients" they finally began to show their legal work: the trapeze activity. Of course, never at the level of films like 'The Greatest Show on Earth', by Cecil B. DeMille, produced in 1952, with James Stewart and Charlton Heston in the leads, or 'Trapeze', filmed four years later, a film by Carol Reed, with Burt Lancaster, Tony Curtis and Gina Lollobrigida.
Khemthis, you are wrong. You won't be able to understand Wela's work no matter how much you promise or tell yourself you will. Jealousy will consume you every time you see him or simply imagine him with a client.
Wela, what were you so "busy" with that you forgot to think about Khemthis? What is that "occupation" that prevents you from thinking about your boyfriend and forgetting him? To be less "busy" you would have to reduce your "workload" or leave your "job" altogether.
I wonder: When Khemthis tries to kiss Wela and force him to be intimate as a result of his jealousy, well, when Khemthis grabs and touches Wela the same way the customers touch him, they reach under his pants and mark his teeth with his teeth. neck..., and, Wela rejects his actions. What does Khemthis mean when he tells Wela that he does not allow him to do what he allows the clients to do? What is Wela referring to when she replies to Khemthis: "Is this your perspective of my 'work'? (obviously, she means prostitution). I think you understand about the Deep Night Club more than others (of course, Khemthis "He is the owner of some of the club's shares and the son of the main owner.) But you are just like them." By "they" he refers to those who do not understand the function of the club and the work of the hosts.
What does Khemthis mean when he tells his mother that "what we do at the club is risky"? What are you referring to when you say "maybe they will charge us for that", referring to the suspicions that someone has reported the illegal activities taking place at the club, which is why there are raids and raids on the premises practically every day ? Is the fact that the Police have not found evidence of illegalities so far proof that illegal activities are not taking place? We know well that these illegal activities have nothing to do with the sale of drugs or drug trafficking, since the club is strict about it. Nor are they the alcoholic drinks, typical of finding in a nightclub. What activities will the son of the owner of the club refer to? What activity entails a risk because it is illegal?
