I’m so disappointed with the first three episodes of this sequel. I loved the original series so much that I watched it twice, something I hardly ever do. I hope those who have seen ep 4 are right and things start becoming a bit more believable. Shin and Asuka are both drop-dead gorgeous and intelligent, perfect boyfriend material. Akira’s behavior towards Shin is bad enough, but Asuka’s love-object has all the personality of chopped liver past its use-by date.

I’m guessing they called this series Low Frequency to let BL fans know in advance roughly how many scenes will keep them unconfused and awake.

In the synopsis at the head of this page, Rak is described as “Bunny-cute”. Perhaps this means that in a future episode he’ll get eaten by his new room-mate’s snake.

Four episodes in and, for me at least, the most intriguing character in this series is Rak. A master of self-control, his blank stare barely flickers whether he’s peeling oranges or being sexually assaulted. It wouldn’t surprise me if he was taught to act at the same school as the cast of Check Out.

I agree with every word. If someone as ideal a potential lover as Shin wanted to move in, the average gay guy (like myself) wouldn’t be giving him the key to next door!

Compared to this mess, Check Out looks like a masterpiece.

Two things really stand out for me in the first two episodes of this LOL series: I love how the beginning and end of each episode feature previews of the still-to-happen romantic relationship between Bu Xia and Jiang Chi and, like almost everyone else, I’m blown away by the potato chip scene. There’s no doubt in my mind that that’s destined to become a BL series classic.

Yeah - what is it with Japanese BL’s? They’re either really raunchy, with the main characters barely able to keep their hands off each other, or else they’re so repressed and paranoid they can’t do anything more than struggle aimlessly through episode after episode, communicating their unfulfilled passions in a series of almost inaudible, terrified squeaks.

If it’s not too late I suggest that Shin and Asuka, both of whom have continued to grow into really spunky young men, relieve their frustrations on each other with regular NC scenes starting as soon as possible. Far from keeping them waiting for months on end for some action, any typical gay guy like myself would have been unable to believe his luck and propelled either of them into the closest bedroom as soon as possible.

I’m currently re-watching this series and loving it as much as I did on its initial screening in 2022. I’m glad you can’t become diabetic from overindulging in eye candy, otherwise there’d have to be a health warning about Fluke’s dimples at the start of each episode.

Apart from the cooking scenes, the only thing of interest to me in this otherwise tedious series was learning that there actually is a popular African sauce called Shito!

Me too- if I was Thana, I’d forget all about pathetic Patis and head straight down that stairwell to the cute young guy with the Thai grass and more than one facial expression.

I hope so - I love the way Shin says it.

I don’t often watch BL series twice, but just had to with season one, I loved every second of it and, judging from the trailer, season two looks very promising. Like so many others commenting here, I can’t wait to see it.

OMG I hope so. That might even be enough to register a look of mild irritation on Pat’s motionless face, unless he’s been overdoing the Botox again.

Pat doesn’t seem to ever change that expressionless stare no matter what is happening. I’m beginning to think he might be computer-generated.

After watching episode 4 of this fairly interesting series, it’s clear that the Thana/Patis relationship is on the rocks for sure. If this was a real-life situation, Patis constantly prioritizing his job over his private life would have driven somebody as hunky and desperate for a little NC action as Thana is straight into the arms of Time. Even if the café’s magic works in the remaining episodes, I wouldn’t expect any reconciliation to last more than a few weeks if this was happening in the real world.

I totally agree with those who say that Yim as Jade is great in this series, always entertaining and providing welcome breaks from the more dramatic areas of the storyline. I really dislike the nasty characters, a tribute to the excellent performances of the actors playing these evil abusers. It felt like I had been waiting forever for Bed Friends to be released. Net and James in NC action was all my poor fudanshi soul could handle. They were great, no need for a second couple when these two are in action. 9.5/10 from me.

With so many BL series now being released and nowhere near enough time to watch them all, my interest in this one ended immediately after laughing in disbelief at the pathetic first ‘kissing’ scene between the two males. I’ve felt more weight on my lips from a stray piece of Kleenex tissue than either of these actors planted on each other’s mouths. If performers are terrified of being considered as same-sex attracted, why the f**k do they accept roles in BL’s? In my fudanshi opinion, it’s OK to be gay for pay, but only if you intend to earn it by at least attempting to give a professional, convincing performance.

After initial uncertainty due to a confusing episode one, I’m really pleased I decided to stick with it and watch episode 2. The two main storylines are coming along nicely - the one-hour plus time slot flew by for me and I’m really looking forward to seeing what happens next.

Thana getting stoned in the stairwell with his cute younger neighbor is also adding a little potential spice to the mix. It’s refreshingly honest to see a Thai BL where, for once, the cast aren’t just getting constantly out of it on booze alone. It’s much more in line with the Thailand I experienced on vacation there.
