Yes, of course, the murderer can also choose to murder... and that surely makes it something positive, legal and non-criminal.

They bring boys in front of clients as if they were going to appraise them, they open their shirts to show their chests. They wear clothes close to their bodies. The client looks, thinks, values, chooses... and pays for the chosen one, and there are still those who say that there is no prostitution.
Wela is kissed, marks are left on her neck, every part of her body is touched by a client who paid for it, so, no matter how much she objects, she cannot resist and reject him. All that remains is to fake a smile, and there are still those who say that there is no prostitution.
I imagine we are not watching the same series.

But, the fact that prostitution has always existed and will exist until after we die, or those kids are of age and conscious, and everything else you have raised, that does not make prostitution legal. Despite earning billions a year, prostitution is, in fact, illegal, a controversial issue among Thais and highly stigmatized. The debate within Thai society about sex work has jumped to public forums, hand in hand with initiatives to legalize it. Advocates argue that criminalization has deprived sex workers of basic labor rights and protections enjoyed by other workers, making them more vulnerable to health risks, harassment, exploitation and violence, although Prostitution remains just as visible. So please, just because you like the series, don't romanticize prostitution in Thailand or anywhere else in the world.

Oh, thank you for recognizing in your words, although perhaps you didn't realize it, the obvious prostitution in the series. No, it doesn't bother me if prostitution is shown as a topic. By the way, I have seen the films mentioned in the previous comment and many other audiovisuals with prostitution as an objective or theme.
What I can't understand is if, as you say, “prostitution is as old as time. It has been on earth long before we were born and it will remain after we die… who are conscious adults…” and everything else you bring up, why do you get upset when someone raises the issue and brings it up for debate?
And the good thing about introducing topics like this in a BL is to generate reflection and debate. Greetings.

It is evident, as I said, your lack of arguments. Hence the inability to defend your ideas, after entering into a debate for which, obviously, you are not prepared. Well. Bye.

You seem to be one of those who, because you have no arguments, try to attack others with phrases like: "You like attention." Just saying that you reject any negative criticism of the series and the characters would have been enough. By the way, you would not have exposed yourself to being identified as a person who shares in prostitution, especially when you later imply that you are a regular or know well the actions of... as you say, ah, I remember: "a gay bar, gay bar." hosts or any similar establishment, because if you had ever been….” In truth, I have never been to one nor do I ever plan to be in my life. That is the only truth you have spoken in your words.
Entertainment? No, for entertainment, people who go to the club would stay at home watching a movie or reading a book, going to the beach or visiting a museum, incidentally, to gain culture or a tan.
We cannot ignore the evident prostitution in the series, as the practice or business of engaging in sexual activities with other people in exchange for money or other economic benefits (sometimes called, not without controversy, "sex work").
The definition of "sexual activity" varies, and is often defined as an activity that requires physical contact (e.g., intercourse, nonpenetrative sex, oral sex, etc.) with the client. It is evident that the series shows clients who pay (in cash or with drinks, with perfumes, with necklaces, with houses, with yachts..., for that matter it is the same) to have sexual activity with boys who lend themselves to this. If there were no prostitution, why would the boy in love with Seiji be upset when he saw him with the woman who won the auction by giving more drinks for him than the other competitors?
In the end, I don't think you have managed to convince anyone with your words that the series does not show obvious prostitution, especially if we take into account that prostitution occurs in many different forms. Even the mere fact of, for money or other benefits, serving as a companion or escorts is considered prostitution, even if it does not involve sex. The differentiating element between so-called escorts and prostitutes is that the escort service is much more complex and refined, 'high standing'.

Does 'Deep Night show us another form of male prostitution? Does the series aim to normalize male prostitution in Thailand? And at the same time hide, disguise prostitution in the fact that the prostitute is not paid in cash, but through alcoholic beverages that result in profits for the establishment, but that the "hosts" will undoubtedly benefit from some? shape?
Coming from Thailand it would not surprise me, because if the BL series from that country try to give the image that homosexuals do not have any problems in that country, that it is a paradise of gay freedom, when in truth they are discriminated against and it is common harassment against members of the LGBT+ community and, although homosexuality is legal, homosexual relations or marriage between people of the same sex are not legal.
Philippine cinema has produced films such as 'Soon of Macho Dancer', 2021, by multi-award-winning filmmaker Joel C. Lamangan, as well as 'Macho Dancer', 1988; 'Midnight Dancers' (1994), 'Burlesk king' (1999), 'Twilight Dancers' (2006), all of the latter directed by the late Mel Chionglo, and others, interested in exploring the world of dancers who pose in clothes light and even naked, for the homosexual clientele of the Filipino establishments.
The Thai film 'Doi Boy', by director Nontawat Numbenchapol, also shows prostitutes, but there they serve as a social denunciation, to show the harsh reality of a country, while in 'Deep Night', is their presence to "normalize prostitution?" "?
What is the Thai series after? Show us how Thai rentboys are auctioned off in nightclubs, under the permissive gaze of society, like sex workers in Filipino movies? Are the "hosts of the Deep Night Club sex workers, even if they only participate as mere companions or escorts? Who says that these, because they often do not have sex with the client, with whom they pay and buy, are not prostitutes?
Perhaps many will overlook this "detail" and will even be happy that it was Khemthis Akkh who paid the most for Wela (there was not even a bid between several competitors, only he intervened)... but, ultimately, it cannot be denying what was stated in the third episode is pure prostitution. If it weren't the protagonist of the series who "hit the jackpot", Wela would have to go spend the night with someone else, who will be the winner, like any prostitute. If he had not won the auction, Khemthis would have to suffer like Seiji's lover suffers because he has to accompany the girl who paid the most for him.
As Wela told Khemthis, his is a job… like any other.

Hello. When you say MaxZee do you mean Zee Pruk Panich? If it is in the sense of the two of them forming a couple, I highly doubt it. They are seme. I assume you mean having other audiovisuals, each one for their part.

Greetings. The solution would not be to end Hamas.
The Charter of the United Nations, which constitutes the international legal instrument based on the New International Order and contemporary International Law, is very clear about the Palestinian situation.
Said treaty, of which the Statute of the International Court of Justice forms an integral part, establishes in its article 2.4 that every State shall refrain from resorting to the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.
The Charter itself, in its article 1.2, recognizes as one of its purposes “respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples”, which are systematically and flagrantly denied to the Palestinian people. These violations of general customary international law have an erga omnes character.
Since Security Council resolution 242 of 1967, it was agreed to withdraw the armed forces of Israel from all the territories occupied during the 1967 conflict, recognizing the 1949 armistice line (green line) as the demarcation of the borders. between Israel and Palestine.
The occupation of the Palestinian territories is also qualified as an unlawful act of annexation in accordance with the provisions of Security Council resolutions 476 (1980), 478 (1980) and 497 (1981), which declare that Israeli acts aimed at the annexation of East Jerusalem and the Golan, are null and void, and should not be recognized by States.
These spurious endeavors also include maneuvers to change the international status of the Holy City of Jerusalem.

I would prefer not to talk about this topic on a platform dedicated to giving opinions on films, shorts and series, but I cannot remain silent in the face of your words, because if I did so I would be complicit in genocide. In Gaza, genocide, ethnic cleansing, a crime against humanity is being committed. Hamas represents a heroic people who have been colonizing their lands and sending them to the diaspora and imprisoning them in small enclaves that for almost 6 months have been bombed before the undaunted gaze of the world. Israel violates International Law. There are sufficient legal elements to determine the responsibility of Israel as an occupying and colonizing power and that of the other international actors involved, as well as the legal implications that should correspond to such intentional acts or omissions.
In 1967 Israel crossed the border conferred on its new State by the UN in 1948, colonizing and plundering foreign territories. It is an occupying state. And Palestinians have the right to defend their lands, their Homeland and their lives.
There are clear violations against the Palestinian people, such as denying them the right to self-determination and measures to alter their demographic composition; the annexationist acts of its territory, since 1967, and the status of the Holy City of Jerusalem.
The Palestinian issue requires a clear position on the legal consequences for the non-applicability and violations of the IV Geneva Convention, and land, sea and air blockades constitute collective punishment, and are extreme violations of freedom of movement and enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights.
The complicity of countries like the United States with genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, and the apartheid regime established in Palestine is evident.
The Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice must establish the legal consequences for Israel, the other States and the United Nations, for violations of the norms prohibiting the threat or use of force, the equality of rights and self-determination of the towns; as well as the main international instruments on human rights, among others.

In the review, after watching the first episode, I compared 'To Be Continued' to the BL romantic dramas 'To My Star', 'We Best Love' and 'The Promise'. I return to the idea at this time in this post, as I cannot incorporate these reflections into the aforementioned text due to exceeding the permissible character limit.
When Han Ji Woo runs away from her boyfriend in 'To My Star' she leaves no trace of his location. Only Kang Seo Joon's persistence made it possible for him to be located a year later and to his village he was the abandoned lover to fight to recover his love. No matter how extreme the decision made by the young chef may seem to us, it is consistent with the story and it is totally believable why they had to be separated for that time waiting for their reunion.
Likewise, in 'We Best Love', the Taiwanese series, we can understand why it took Gao Shi De and Zhou Shu Yi five years to meet again. The reasons why the reunion did not happen sooner are consistent with what is described on the screen, taking into account the deception, the emotional blackmail and the pressure exerted by the father of the second on the first so that the latter would never look for him again, forget him. and the young people would not return to reconnect their lives. Only chance came to the aid of the two boys who still loved each other.
Likewise, no matter how extreme it may seem, it is coherent why it took 10 years for Phupha and Nanfah to meet again in the Thai series 'The Promise', after the former decided to abandon his friend after kissing. both on a drunken night, on the eve of university graduation, for not daring to confess that she had loved him for years. No matter how much Nanfah searched for him, even abroad, Phupha simply went into hiding and for a decade did not allow himself to be located. Only thanks to what we call destiny could the reunion of both young people take place.
But it doesn't seem logical to me that it took 10 years for Achi and Ji to meet again. Neither of them is hiding. The two have moved on with their lives, publicly. Who doesn't know Achi, the famous actor who appears on television every day? Does anyone know Ji, the renowned orthopedist? It's easy for both of them, especially for Achi, who was always determined to reconnect with the boy he loves, locate the other and try to restart a love story that got stuck on the road a decade ago.
What prevented the young television star from doing what she does today to win back the doctor? Nothing, absolutely nothing, prevented him from doing during all this time what he is currently doing to have a doctor lying in his bed and avoid, in the process, having to wait for a phone call late at night to go home. of his beloved to play at being one a tiger and the other a bunny.

Hello. I have given verifiable arguments and data. I repeat, verifiable, within reach of a click. I don't ask you to believe me blindly. As I said, the arguments, reports and data are verifiable. The Internet has hundreds, maybe thousands of Thai and international LGBT sites, blogs by Thai Human Rights activists, reports from different UN agencies, the World Bank and individuals reporting discrimination, harassment, violations against Thai LGBT people. There are the laws of that country on the matter. And this phenomenon does not occur only in that Southeast Asian country. In much more “liberal” countries, like Brazil, there are also homophobic and misogynistic presidents and even people in public office are murdered, especially women, well-known, charismatic and popular, for belonging to that group. Look at the case of the young Brazilian teacher Julio Haag, attacked a few years ago, hit by a stone when he returned home after teaching. You will surely remember how years later, Julio Haag considered running for mayor of Sarapiranga, a small municipality in Rio Grande do Sul, and had to withdraw his candidacy when his social media profiles were flooded with emails from homophobic hate and threats. Brazil has an average of 22 incidents a day or one every hour. In most cases involving LGBTQ teens, the victims are black and brown. According to the Grupo Gay da Bahia, Brazil is the most homophobic country in the world. Let's imagine then what can happen in a country governed by military dictatorships.
That you don't believe me is not directly my problem, but rather it must be your serious problem. From the moment he has another vision of reality, but for convenience, for not investigating, for not agreeing to verify and contrast information, for not admitting that he lives in a bubble where the Thai BL have put him and where there is no space to questioning, doubt and the search for the truth, in fact he becomes an accomplice to the crimes. If your conscience lets you sleep peacefully from that moment on, congratulations. My conscience does not allow it to me.

Thank you for your words. I tried to watch the series many times and something always held me back, as I explain in the text. When I'm putting together a review for Wuju Bakery starring Jeff, I decided to check it out. And how I liked it. Thank you.

Dear Gustavo:
Thank you for your words. I hope you can see it. It's not long before the end. Episode 9 of 10 has already aired. I see that we follow each other, but we have not sent each other a friend request. I do it right now. A hug.

Hello. The specialized press has access to programs before their premiere to facilitate dissemination and awaken the interest of potential audiences. Until the last minute I was confident that the pilot would come out today, but they have extended the premiere.

Beautiful ending to a beautiful love story and beautiful series. And it ended with a wedding and the consent of the parents of the two boys. This is very unlikely in current Thai society, as Thai families believe that homosexuality is a punishment for sins committed in a previous life and many homosexual children may even be expelled from their homes, while not only suffering physical and verbal harassment (and even rape) by their close relatives, but also by their study and work colleagues (when they get a decent job), under the complicit and permissive gaze of the workplace or school management and of the teaching staff. The Thai series do not reflect this reality, but, as I said, in 'Cherry Magic 30', in a cold and concise manner in a couple of sentences and in the mouth of two characters who arrived at the last minute, it states that they hope in the future they can officially register and legally their marriage, since gay, equal or same-sex marriage is not yet possible in that country. People from the LGBT+ community are also discriminated against and excluded from society due to their sexual orientation.
Tay and New today, if they wanted to, couldn't get married in real life. They would not be recognized by current Thai law as a marriage. They could not celebrate legal weddings beyond an intimate and/or private ceremony. They could only arrange a fake wedding in a ceremony not binding on the legality or laws of that country. They could not apply for bank loans or joint medical insurance. In the event of the death of one of the two, the survivor does not decide where he will be buried and what type of mortuary rites would be celebrated, since he is not considered his “true” family. This is part, only part, of the discrimination towards LGBT+ people in Thailand. In the event that Tay and New Billy wanted to adopt children, they would not be able to do so. Thai law does not protect or protect them. In the event that they wanted to undergo assisted reproduction treatments, they would not be able to either. There is no pension law to also recognize these couples. And if they want to undergo a sex reassignment operation, they could do so in that country where many surgical operations are performed for these purposes throughout the world, but after changing their sex they would find that they have to record their birth gender on the marriage certificate. and not the adopted one. Thai law does not allow people to change their sex on their national identity card, employment or student records or records. In that case, Tay and New could not, even if they wanted to, have their gender identities recognized, since the only law that today protects LGBT+ people does not accept gender identity.

Please let me know when Max has a new person to form a new couple with. I won't say more. I don't think it's necessary.

Hello. Thank you for your words. I've seen it several times and I like it a lot. I am now watching, for the third or fourth time, the second part of the story.

If 'A Secretly Love' had been released in the 1970s, it would surely have been a historical, cultural, social and even political event due to the manipulative representation of LGBTIQ+ people that would have put the entire country in front of the small screen watching it. . But with how BL has evolved since then, “this thing” that I was watching until the second episode hoping it would improve, is the greatest evidence of the stagnation and even the regression of the genre. Whoever wants to continue watching the series... please feel free to do so, but then don't come telling me that you have wasted your valuable time.
