You didn't really think I wouldn't jump in when I found your part of the thread, did you? :D Let's take these bitches down.

Legions of MDLers slither through these threads carrying massive inferiority complexes about their own intellectual capacities on their backs. When a smart person says something incisive, well-stated, or asks simple questions as you have done, it touches that nerve of insecurity and they immediately become hostile and defensive. It's easy to understand. Just look at them as if you're studying ants under a magnifying glass. Their lashing-out at the sight of a well-written comment differing from their own opinions can be entertaining if you approach it that way. :)

I love when you get snippy. Bravo.

Please copy/paste one claim of "intellectual superiority" stated in these comments or elsewhere on MDL. I'll wait.......a long time.

B...come on, this is MDL. There aren't a lot of brainiacs here. Of course "intellectual" is a put-down here. lol

"Because nothing in this series is new to me."

So, you too are a self-obsessed, mentally/emotionally abusive asshole who treats his romantic partners like shit five times in a row without growing or learning anything at all?

People who imply that there is one "gay experience," that there is one kind of "gay culture," etc. are annoying. A lot of us aren't serial emotionally, and psychologically abusive psychos who repeat their pattern of twisted behaviors five times in a row, leaving behind the human wreckage of five different men.

You are the ignorant one.

There are fucking scenes.

lol

Yup

lol

No. Just...no. There has not been a watchable, new Thai BL since "Moonlight Chicken." All the best ones are four or more years old now.

"There are 17 LGBTQIA+ series airing in Thailand each week..."

That is why so many of them are crap. Thai BL is all about quantity, not quality.

How old are you?

There are a lot of garbage BLs among the good ones. Most of it is stinky Thai garbage produced since Moonlight Chicken, the last watchable one.

Good, thanks. I'm thankful you're around in this thread because I'm kind of disturbed by how overwhelmingly these MDLers see this guy's behavior and treatment of other humans as "real, raw, relatable," describing how it mirrors OUR real-life dating experiences."

I asked what kind of dating Hellscape she lived in. :D

"When most complaints about BL, are about how sanitized they are of real life, here comes a drama steeped in deep reality and all of us are dizzy."

My god, what hellscape of reality do you live in, where most people act like this MC? He's an arrogant, selfish monster.

"It gives you a glimpse into the queer culture, although doesn't go all the way."

So, are you saying all of us "queers" behave and treat our romantic partners like used cum rags? That all of us "queers" are the same? That this and this only is "queer culture?" What a tiny little bubble you must live in.

Great review! Astute and beautifully written. You are something else, my friend.

Please quote where I said I "hate" this show? Please do; I'd like you to educate me.
I won't bother with the rest of your childish comment because you're not bright. I don't care if you don't like the number of comments I leave.

""masterpiece" Wow. I have never seen that word used before on MDL. lol"

Please point out the "hate" in that comment. Please do quote the words that expressed "hate." I'd like to learn this from you.

omg..."oppress them." lol Yes, I'm "oppressing" them by offering a tongue-in-cheek response to a comment I found silly. You really are a desperate, tender little flower, aren't you? All the hating and oppression going on all around, it's so horrible, how will you stand it?

Are you a dumba**?

" It was a very genuine representation of how dating works with everyone in real life."

EVERYONE in real life. I didn't " infer" anything. It's what you wrote.

"... the whole POINT of the show was for him to become a better version of himself specifically in love, and maybe not a better version but just to find the value and meaning of love, to which imo he did."

What on Earth are you talking about? MC didn't change an iota from start to finish. He was treating his romantic partners the same pscyho abusive way at the end as at the beginning. He learned nothing. Wow, it's wild that you see character growth, cause it ain't there.

So these guys felt fucked up and crazy, but at the same time, "that feels so connected to OUR everyday lives." So you and all you friends are fucked up and crazy...yes? Who the hell is "our?"

You had to get a little dig in at the end, didnt ya? lol Cuts no ice with me.

You saw only what you want to see. Part of the reason the show effected me so intensely was that there WERE some beautiful moments, most of the acting was good to OK, the cinematography was beautiful, it had a big budget and every outdoor/public scene felt authentic, there were funny parts, but then these wild, bizarre swings in the plot would occur, and the MC would destroy some poor sap who ridiculously fell in love with this goofy-looking guy (but of course all who fell at his feet were gorgeous and would kill themselves for him because he's so hot and wonderful or something. Other characters kept mentioning how "handsome" he is, to remind the audience that what we were seeing with our own two eyes is not true, and to play along).

After they fell, then the MC would be in seventh heaven once again, they'd move in together, he'd turn into a rude, mean, bitchy jerk, they would grovel at his feet, then he would dump them.

FIVE times in the same pattern.

You saw only what you wanted to see, and made up a lot of other stuff in your head to fill in the blanks. Sad.

BTW, there were a hundred plot holes and implausibles, do you want me to list them?
Why did his friends suddenly disappear?
Why did they suddenly reappear?
How was he locked in his apartment with severe depression, sleeping all day in a darkened room for six weeks I believe it was, but then his group of stereotypes showed up, jumped on him, and he was instantly cured of clinical depression? Two minutes later, he was out eating with them at a restaurant, laughing and carrying on as if he was cured.

Absolutely ridiculous.

That's not how depression works. It doesn't come and go in three seconds because some of your friends show up.
And it's not as though he was faking his miracle cure from depression as show for them, the story wanted us to accept that one minute he was locked in a black hole of depression and the next minute he was cured because some stereotypes showed up at his door. It's insulting to people who experience depression in the real world.

Massively unrealistic, improbable, implausible, ridiculous.

I'm not going to argue with you. The MC is the one at the center of the story who took five men from ecstatic love at first sight to emotional/verbal abuse to dumping them ruthlessly. And the idiot, nor any of those idiot stereotypes in his little friend group noticed the ridiculous precision with which he repeated his behavior over and over again.

This guy had ZERO character growth/arc/whatever. He was the same at the end as he was at the beginning. He didn't learn shit about love, give me a break. If I recall near the same, he pretty said as much in the voice-over.

hmmm...I can't figure out why I wrote that. I apologize. I'll remove the comment. :)
