BL Compilations

ah okay, yeah I think this is a pink film, it has 4 explicit scenes which is similar to a few others that I've seen

I'm not sure what prawny is but I'll give an overview of the plot, a guy in his 40s takes a magic drink to turn back to his 20s, he then hooks up with his crush's son (didn't know that at the time), he then learns it's dad/son, then he hooks up with the dad/his crush and then he ends up with the son (but he has reverted back to his present age at the end), so it's basically a love triangle with a guy, dad and son but thankfully the dad and son don't hook up

the whole beginning part isn't mutual love it's abuse (power and control) and even then the twist means none of that was real, the end part is 1 sided lust so I would not categorize this as BL

spoiler for why it isn't a BL

I'm happy you enjoyed the book and the drama. There were parts that I liked and if they had narrowed the focus then I would have enjoyed it significantly more.

I judge series on their own merits. Many people don't (and sometimes can't because there aren't translations) read the source material. A good adaptation means people don't have to have read the source material to understand what is going on.

if you stop it at 19:15 then you'll be fine, but yes if you watch to the very end it is a cliffhanger which was annoying

I think iQIYI might be the same amount of run time but allotted differently so Gaga was 6 episodes at 20 minutes = 120 minutes, maybe it was 25 episodes about 5 minutes each on iQIYI? kind of like how Spirealm was different episode numbers but the content was the same, I really have no definitive answer though

I still think it's a bit open to interpretation, it could be a dream. If they are in the original world, then I wish they wouldn't have shown them jumping which added unneeded confusion.

I haven't seen any information about more episodes/second season but that ending requires more episodes because it's such an odd way to end a series

agree with what you've written :)

According to the timeline, in the present Aksorn is 21 and Songjam is 44, they have a 23 year age gap. Though I didn't put this as a content warning due to how it played out, it is totally valid for some people to find this a no. Songjam delivered his own boyfriend.

Although in my mind I knew that both actors were Sonjam, I had grown to really like the first actor's chemistry with Aksorn. I couldn't fully ship the 2nd actor with Aksorn so the ending was overall not as satisfying for me. I would have preferred it if Songjam had jumped at the same point in time or even a year before and had to wait.

glad you found it :) yeah, really enjoyed their chemistry/kissing

ah okay thanks, totally forgot who they were, I'll update my review :)

I am also concerned about working conditions. In a BTS an actor states that they were completely naked and the crew said they'd go naked if the actors were uncomfortable (which came across as manipulative and not out of a place of genuine concern/making the actors feel comfortable). It's difficult to know for sure unless an actor publicly posts about working conditions which I imagine they wouldn't want to do lest it hurt their future career prospects.

I wish they would have actually shown us what happened in high school/why they were angry at each other. And also what the dad meant when he said he owed him for life. The tension/chemistry was amazing so I hope we get a season 2 with more of their relationship and answer some of the questions.

Apparently they filmed the entire series but only release 6 episodes until their youtube channel reached 1 million subscribers. They didn't reach that, never released the 2nd half of the series so that explains why their story feels so incomplete. I agree they could have communicated better as well.
