I came here after seeing Coohearts announcement of leaving WabiSabi. Can someone please explain bc his contract…
WabiSabi is no longer doing management so that's why the actors are leaving as their contracts end. Cooheart is still in the serious but since his story was told in part 1, he'll be more of a supporting role in this season.
Jimmy and Sea never fail to amaze with with their acting. It was really great to see the diversity in Jimmy and his acting ability in this drama, especially the last two episodes. 10/10.
Ever since I started watching BL, I always came to MDL to look at reviews and comments, but it's just full of…
I generally find that if you look at comments and reviews on sites like YouTube or WeTv, the audience always says "OMG it's the BEST series EVER" (not always true) - while MDL is always "OMG it was the WORST series EVER" (also not always true), so it's best to just find a middle ground and give the show a shot lol.
Any defense attorney would've thrown it out. There were witnesses who saw both men drinking. It would simply be…
"But it would have sullied Johnny’s name more successfully than what Jin recorded ", this isn't necessarily true.
As Gwingnaj already stated, both men were seen drinking together and appearing to have a good time, plus Akin has already been having problems with his reputation throughout the earlier episodes - fans and trolls were already talking poorly about him being an arrogant actor who doesn't appreciate his fans and treats people badly.
If anything, him going to the police to make a report would've likely backfired and made people assume he was just trying to "play victim" and "frame his co-star" in order to gain himself more favor with the public. And, I imagine the Thai entertainment world is similar to Hollywood in that Akin's career would've been completely tarnished to the point that nobody would willingly associate nor work with him.
If you look at it in a realistic light, when a big percentage of victims do come forward and file charges against their abuser, they have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that this horrible thing happened to them, otherwise people just assume they are "attention-seekers" and want to ruin an "innocent person's reputation". And this is just for women victims, I can't even imagine what it would be like for men (honestly just look at what happened to Brendan Fraser when he came out about his SA experience - the man's career was ruined for almost 20 years before getting his comeback).
It's disgusting and horrible and I entirely agree with you that this should never be the case, whether real or fiction, but I think that episode brought up a good point in the fact that it is forcing people to talk. Enough talk eventually creates change.
While still waiting for English subs to come hope, figured I'd give my thoughts now.
I'm glad I didn't watch this series until yesterday (a day before the final episode came out).
While I wouldn't say it was the worst series I've seen ('Oh! My Sunshine Night' will forever hold that title for me), it's definitely not going to be one I'll remember in the future. My biggest complaint for this series, overall, was the dang editing. I actually thought the show was fine the first few episodes but then it just turned into my constantly going "wait...did I just miss a moment or scene" and rewinding - only to discover "no....it just happened". It would've also been good if they had done some different colored filter or soft filter ever time they did the flashbacks, to set the tone.
I'll see what happens in this last episode, although I'm seeing there's feet stuff going on so that's a little scary.
I don't think I've ever been so surprised by a series rating before. This story is so amazing beautiful and doesn't, at all, deserve a rating of 7! This takes you for a whirlwind of emotions with each episode. It's an absolutely amazing story and the actors all did a wonderful job with their parts, especially Jet and Atom, who I will be keeping an eye out for future shows.
As others have said, this is definitely not a typical BL and should be seen more a theatrical, not so much a typical tv drama.
I just finished it right this moment and am just at a loss with the mix of emotions I'm feeling after watching it - it's such a profound story. Definitely going to be on my top list of rewatches.
Overall, I really loved this show. It'll definitely be one I'll rewatch in the future. Man and Ben did a really good job and, as others have said, this series really portrayed a more realistic approach to an office romance between boss and subordinate. It was very believable. I also really love Chot and think Bruce is such a good actor.
That being said, however, the biggest thing I would say upset me the most (and dropped my personal score about 1 whole point) was the Jaab-Jen story. I was really quite invested in their story too, but it wasn't completed. That one, small scene in the final episode was just a let down and has left me with so many questions still, a week later (I watched the fast trak on WeTV).
Hopefully we'll get to see more of Man and Ben in other roles (either as a BL couple or not).
Sadly the promise of the first 9 episodes got disrupted by the last episodes( we saw the rating climb down from…
I couldn't agree more with everything you said! The show had so much promise that sort of just fizzled out almost as soon as they spent so much time on Ae's giving birth scene. I honestly was so upset with the last episode and the single Jaab scene. There are still so many questions I've been mulling over for the last week (I watched the final episode last week) about him and Jen and I'm so angry.
Why's everyone saying Tai has two soulmates forgetting the fact that Patts and Lomfon can hear each other when…
Thank you!! That's all I kept focusing on since Lomfon first got his hearing loss, the fact that he could hear both of them and they him. It obviously means there's more to this hearing loss thing than they know. I also agree about Tien, I feel so badly for him.

Update: the foot thing just.... *facepalm*

Highly recommended .
