I forgot Mydramalist is a website that mostly consists of fans from the west and some other regions and that's…
That being normalized in asia don't take away people's discomfort on how the scene (and it's promotion since they've been talking about it on every single interview) was handled. I didn't hate the episode nor the whole scene, just the rappey sequence (it could have been shortned, not used violins or maden to look erotic). I don't mind he being drunk, while I do agree it sounds awkward the way them (director + actors) talked about this. Taiwanese/chinese audience still is a hard core BL fanbase, while it is more mainstream on Thailand (and some shows in Japan), maybe that's why this kind of scene was soooo praised there. About TharnType: that show didn't deserve even a 5, but it shouldn't be used as an excuse for people in general not liking rappey stuff in BL. TT is not the norm, it's an isolated case.
If this show was centered only on Jim, Ben, Roy and Val it would have been good. But the side plots are horrible and took most of the time of the first 5 episodes.
They could have not used the romantic song and not lasted the forced scene so much. I loved Sam’s acting the whole fear involved on the scene, but the rappey sequence was a big turn off
I just watched the trailer and I can’t believe someone approved this script
“If You we’re doing this to a girl it would be sexual harassment” “but you’re a guy, so it isn’t”
Like WTF????? They are going woke depicting the boss being a harasser while romanticizing the protagonist being a harasser? That’s one of the big reasons why I despise TharnType and History come with this terrible plot????
There's a lot of misunderstandings that are need to be addressed and hope they'll do it properly in the upcoming…
If they adress they don't have anything to work with hahaha
She pulled this horrible twist just to do this plot and had A LOT of oportunities on episode 1 to address what had happened but she chose not just to linger sexual tensions scenes
LOL How was this written by the same person that wrote s01
Ok, I'm glad that it is not the toxic telenovela the trailer hinted, but guuuurl, really? Lingering this whole issue makes NO sense LOL It seems they don't speak about what it happened cause there won't be anything left to do with the storytelling.
Oh, and the depiction of the autist character was a choice....
It was sooooo harsh the editor apologized and GMMTV deleted the tweet about the scene.
As said in the comment linked, we do like messed twisted dark plots, but not aleatory rappey scenes thrown carelessly like that.
I don't see people being so bothered about problematic stuff as they were by Earth naked in a funny sequence.

The main couple is unfixable... boy, this new trailer only made things worse

Lazy scriptwritting at its finest

It is what is most likely to happen
That's sad, but expected....
