Mac has grown up! I'm not sure if he had any BL after He's Coming To Me. But I bet you, his exposure, he is definitely in GMMTV's radar now. Based on his bio here in MDL, he started in the industry when he was 6 yo, by now, he can be considered a "veteran".
The OG Addicted is special to a lot of BL watchers of the mid 2010s, including myself. But I am the type of person who as much as possible doesn't compare as each has something to give or show. Do I love the OG? YES. Do I love Stay With Me, YES! As I said, each has something to give.
Timmy Xu and Johnny Huang's 2016 take on the series has it episode 11. But definitely none in "Stay With Me"
The OG Addicted is edgy and has more grit, if will based the Thai version trailer. Both Johnny and Timmy can be categorized as handsome rather than cute. And there was the side couple that did not sail as it was cut short due to country's censorship.

for it was, as it showed something that a viewer though Gu Hai, Wu Bi of Stay With Me, is not capable of doing. But that is also the turning point of their relationship.
2 years of waiting and cooking... He is doing what Joe told him. Just an assumption though as it only showed 1 scene. When did Ming realize? The phone convo when the phone battery ran out. To a degree, he is an anti-hero.
From last week preview of this week episode, I thought the Tong and Ming conspired to what happened to Joe when it was the dubious foreign production team that the stuntmen were discussing. As for next week's episode, while it suggest that it was Ming's doing that the present-time Joe's house was ransack which can be true, another angle I can think of is that the present-day Joe is indebted to a loan shark and now is asking for the payment.
I love the dichotomy between Poom and Up which translate to Joe and Ming. One is the innocent yet handsomely gorgeous fellow. While the other is cutesy yet devilish. Suits their respective characters.
FOR FUN: I was smililng all scene long, the fist fight LOL Another perspective how gays fight. You know what I mean. And when the guy hit his back, I was thinking: C'mon man! You've been through worst than that! Stand up! Stand up... There were two frames when we can see he is in "pain" and all of a sudden he mustered up and stood! Me: That's my boy!
It should be obvious by now that Ming eventually will... Remember the elevator scene in episode 1. The question now, when did he realize "it"? Is Ming aware what is about to happen to Joe given the attempted call? Is Ming's feeling in the elevator scene regret or missing him? Perhaps both?
I want to hug Up just after the spiral staircase, but not so much Ming.
I read also a theory that the stuntman-turned-into-an-actor is actually being taken care of Sol.
Given the preview for Episode 4 which is the prelude to episode 1, is safe to expect that starting episode 5 moving forward is in their current timeline? Given that the OG body is missing, the theory above might hold true. Are we getting a "Oh! My Sunshine Night" mixed with "Miracle of Teddy Bear" ending?
Revisited Ep 1... The time when Joe crossed path again, once can see how sad Ming is, telling that he misses someone badly on top of his psychological trauma.
Didn't read the novel and do not have any plans to... But did they pull a "Miracle of Teddy Bear"? That one is alive and being taken care of Sol? LOL Don't mind me, just can't wait for Friday LOL
My favorite color is red that is why I feel neutral to Ming's character. Until I know what happened to his past that led him to being such a jerk, his conversation with the sister already have major clues,
Ming: "If I hadn't been so stubborn and got into the water alone like that"
When May said "You gotta find happiness for yourself too, Ming." Ming responded, "Sometimes, it's hard to do. Even [if] I can, I shouldn't"
Mek, I love since your Thada character, but this time, Tong is the biggest a-hole. Self-centered. God-complex. If I have to guess, your relationship with May is all for show, to keep your reputation. Why you drag Ming, I have yet to put my finger on.
I don't mind if Joe ended up with Sol, but I want a happy ending for Ming as well as obviously, he suffered a lot in the past. And not all can related to that.
My favorite color is red that is why I find walking red flags... saxy!
Feel bad for Porsche's character, his character in You're My Sky is the most toxic relationship I've watched, Vee & Dome (Kris). Looks like he will end up with Yim... Hoping.
I find Ming's character development too fast... Or the devil is in the detail? Was he already at the precipice with Tong and then Joe happened to be there? Overheard... Ming picked the option as he could not see himself with his choice? Well at least he was chosen. But his character is proving to be complex, multi-faceted.
Up has one of the most expressive faces out there. You can feel what he feels.
This novel, from what I was told, is Chinese why the Chinese love this body swap plot? Is it a religion thing?
Two major religion in China are Buddhism and Taoism, and both believes in reincarnation. Reincarnation takes in two forms, rebirth and transmigration in Buddhist beliefs & in Taoist perspective, rebirth is the life after death.
Thailand whose major religion is Buddhism.
In order to have a more substantial plot, they went with the transmigration path rather than rebirth.
Very limited actors. This approached enabled for the interactions to be focused leaving out trivial things.
Limited settings. There are technically 2, the house and the office. But crucial element is the path leading to the house which I can consider part of the house. Why? It bring a sense of belongingness, commonality, familiarity, a home.
One cannot ignore the dynamics of the siblings is to be treasured.
Been awhile for a Taiwanese BL to be amazingly excellent.

Also, the kid YorYak has appeared before in a different BL?
Is it just me or symptoms of watching way too much BLs?
The OG Addicted is special to a lot of BL watchers of the mid 2010s, including myself. But I am the type of person who as much as possible doesn't compare as each has something to give or show. Do I love the OG? YES. Do I love Stay With Me, YES! As I said, each has something to give.

You can see why I categorized them as handsome rather than cute
Vegas 🚩
Admit or not, we love 🚩IRL. But a lot may unknowingly does.
Why the rating? Consciously or unconsicously, we have/had a red flag similar to Ming. Pepole dislike Ming because in their respecitve lives, they are Joe. After all the crap that was given, at the end of the day, the 🚩 will still be loved.
I for one now realized why favorite color is red. I am inclined to bad boy looks or personality that believes I can make them green flag.
Lastly, I cannot understand why people are saying which is worse 🚩 Vegas or Ming. They have their own imperfections, demons that they are dealing daily. People pick one is worse is based on their own experience and perspective. But c'mon, at the end of the series, it will be Ming-Joe.. Who knows, as an act of love, it will be Joe-Ming. Another ending, one of them will be 6-feet under LOL

Here we go again, a full week o waiting.
Up your are one of my biases, however, this time, I really do not like your character, Ming.
And... as time passed by, Lotte aka Yim I finding you handsome. Of course, you are not forgotten Porsche.
Didn't read the novel and do not have any plans to... But did they pull a "Miracle of Teddy Bear"? That one is alive and being taken care of Sol? LOL Don't mind me, just can't wait for Friday LOL

"Incest, defined as sexual relations between close relatives, is legally and socially forbidden in many countries, but not universally."
It is legal in Taiwan. However, being legal does not outright means that it allows marriage. Being legal means that there is no crime committed.
But is it immoral? Yes, may it be Buddhism or Christianity.
Now it depends on one's perspective on the Qian-Yuan relationship. Legally or morally.
And if you are going to ride the high horse on the matter, remember that you watched a gay series which is also immoral but not universal.
