Okay so I was watching a Thai BL drama the other day where one actor plays another actor due to body swap plot and I love love love that actor but i couldn't help thinking though he wass playing the role amazingly as usual but it's not exactly like how the other actor was playing it. It's not just cos the actor whom I like was a better actor than who he was playing but it's cos there was a gap in picking up the other actor's personality while playing that character. it sounds confusing i know.
But Nanon is playing Dome exactly like Gun did it. I mean 😚💖
I am just 2 month old in BL so every time my mind goes that way, I am to myself like girl u r too inundated to see straight. so stop now. A man and a man can be friends or not blood related brothers. So yut. But then Khatha names Chan and his expression like that. So i am to myself again: hold my Khatha.
I am happy that it'll end this tuesday and I could finally start watching. But i am a bit worried that it was supposed to be 15 but now cut down to 10 episodes. Hope all'll be wrapped up well.
Curious to death about Katha and Dome's connection...
What the show actually is is not good, what it thinks itself is hilarious. The whole starting atmos of a dark enemy to lover love story of mafia(?) vanishes in the 2nd episode and then they try to pull in every trope possible. It's ok. It no big deal. I like the leads chemistry. That's the only thing that the show was banking on and it paid off perfectly.
The best part of the show was me discovering Bank. He's a hot dude with a voice seductive like the devil's whisper 🐍 and that song was sexy as hell. 🔥 But in the show he's the poutiest cutie ever 🥰
When I was watching Thartype 2 I was so invested in Type's story and so annoyed with Fiat that I missed this obvious thing, FIRST IS SO DAMN GORGEOUS!!!😍😍😍 He is such a perfect looking dude. When Leo said, "every part of you is beautiful", me like 🙌
Well, this was crap. Strangely in spite of the toxicity (which btw is synonymous to Tharntype relationship) and the problematic parts, the 1st one still had a story. Badly told, whatsoever. But this one is just characters loitering in a lakorn not being entertaining but annoying. Type was a jerk in s1 but i could still see his struggle beneath his jerkness. Here he's just an unreasonable jerk by default character setting. Tharn was manipulative and well he did all those things to Type that he did in s1 but here he's just a doormat. Then there is this new couple Leo-Fiat, like another version of tharntype. Fiat annoyed the hell outta and me (But he was a human being still, as opposed to the monster that was Lhong in S1). And the rest 98 new couples. Like why didn't you just stick to showing shit inside Tharntype story, why need more filler couples? Did they run out of crap for 1 story?!
It's a shame Type's character is such a grumpy killjoy so he's always snarling. Gulf has a beautiful smile, and the 1-2 times he smiled i was like 😍💓 Their chemistry was as usual great but it felt sparse in the boatload of crap events.
So the problematic parts of this story are: 1. A lil boy is molested by a man and he grew up hating gays without having the awareness of differentiating between gays and pedophiles and never learning that straight peeps can be pedophiles and gay peeps can be not. 2. When the boy grows up he meets a gay guy as his roommate and declares his revulsion towards gays to him only to be further confirmed in his notion of gays being sickos because of his gay roommate when he kisses and touches the boy while he's sleeping and goes on to give him a nonconsensual bj. All this shown as a way of romantic courting. 3. There's another boy who's been gangr*ped when he was younger, on the instigation of a sicko who got away with it without even a slap on the wrist.
🤘Just another day in Lakorn except for the part that the writer seems to not have a high opinion of gay peeps or maybe they simply didn't percieve in what kind of light they are showing the gay peeps. So well, just another ignorant day in Lakorn.🤷♀️
If you have been watching Lakorns for a long time you would know there are no boundaries to romanticizing and not punishing lowest of the low acts in them. I have picked my lows like misogyny and a few other things that I am immune to now (usually). I draw the line with r*pe. in that i dont watch laks with romantic r*pes. I am never surprised by them tho. When you become a seasoned lak watcher, even when you don't watch them, you get used to Laks having triggering content. So you don't get surprised. At least this is how it's with me. Although I still get annoyed by some stuff. More immunization to do, I guess.
About the toxic relationship between Tharn and Type, it was nothing compared to the problematic parts. I didn't even notice it beside the above 3 things.
If you can blur out the problems and toxicity, you may notice that the leads have great chemistry. There's a certain sizzling-without-trying-to-be-raunchyness to their intimate scenes. And there's a story there too which without the whole Lakorn staples and with good writing would have been in focus for more people. Like how Type is homophobic mainly because of his childhood trauma, but he slowly starts getting attracted towards his gay roommate and realizing that he may be gay or bi too, so he tries to cover it with denial and more hate but slowly acknowledge and accept his feelings and his sexual orientation.
I liked Gulf's acting through the different stages of his evolution. His overall acting is good too. And Mew was charming in those flirty and romantic parts (not those😶, but the normal ones😍). Mew and Gulf both look so hot, and both their smiles are just 😍 I'd have loved to see them in another Lakorn but it seems they are not doing stuff together anymore. Sad🥺
p.s. The viki subbing team for this Lakorn chose the ideal name- I am not gay but my boyfriend is 😂😂
