You found me out, Princess. I have no job, friends, or family. I live under a bridge, i'm illegally tapped into a power line under here, and I use a stolen dish to get Internet service. I'm an alcoholic and give BJs to pushers for drugs.

Whose mouth would the names be in other than mine? Yours?

Weird.

I don't watch straight dramas. lol Seriously. I do watch quite a few straight-themed feature films. If you're interested in those, I can suggest a few.

oooh...thanks for mentioning the movie. I hadn't noticed that. I will check it out.

This comment is a pretty good summation of what's wrong with Thai BL fan culture.
You should have followed your instinct not to write it.

Glad you like my list! Thanks for letting me know.

I AM watching Hidamari Ga Kikoeru as it airs, as are you, and enjoying it a great deal. If I had to rate it here at the halfway mark, I'd give it at least a 9/10. My favorite aspect is how different the halves of the MC are, and yet their chemistry and mutual affection is written all over the screen. The actor playing Taichi in particular, is doing a sensational job. So natural.

One of my favorite underdog BLs. This was my fourth, if not fifth or sixth, watch.

Low production values.
Low budget.
Amateurish acting much of the time, though there are lots of charming and touching moments as well.
Poor direction.

But a GREAT BIG HEART and nice chemistry between both couples. There are many small moments that feel authentic and portray situations closeted young gay people find themselves in very well.

I find the character Lun particularly appealing. He looks great in a little blue Speedo too.

Hell, I don't care what anyone thinks: I'm giving it an 8.5/10.

None of my faves attempt what this show, Manner of Death, or Triage have and for me, that's why they work. They're smaller, quieter shows with NO sci-fi or other high-concept elements.

Here's my Best 30 BLs list:

Well, there were NO other cars, so he could drive 5mph if he wanted, which is what I might have done. :)

I thought the first time he got sucked back in time, as far as Bible's acting and the special effects went, was done impressively. But then, as I said, he did it all over again...lol. Enjoy!

"There are rarely high budget thai bls. I agree the previous 2 dramas did suffer from budget issues but they put forward a good one with what they could do. " Yeah, but that's why I always drop these shows: I hate thinking repeatedly "but they put forward a good one with what they could do...." If I'm constantly making excuses/rationalizing what I'm seeing, I'm not having fun.

Thank you. I was watching on myasiantv, but dropped it so whatever...thanks again though.

If you're interested, please read my comment two below regarding why this doesn't work for me and why I dropped it. As I wrote, I thought of "Triage" and "Manner of Death," both of which I dropped for nearly identical reasons. They're just not in my wheel house.

Enjoy the show!

Nah....I just can't do it

This type of show doesn't work for me because the gay romance/sex element plays second fiddle to whatever high-concept gimmick is being employed, which here is the brief time-travel thing. And because there is never enough production budget or expertise to make the surroundings and the gimmick feel first-rate, the love story suffers too.

At first I was impressed by the time-travel FX, but then we cut to the hospital where we were presented with two doctors far too young to be doing what they're doing, comical little screw-ups in the medical jargon and procedures, and a general lack of enough extras and technical advice to make the environment ring true. So it comes off as a sophomore, student film production and I start asking myself why go to all the trouble and expense of attempting a big-budget scenario when it just drags the love story down? Why not just present a first-rate gay love-story with the story as the central element? Get rid of the unconvincing, fake hospital stuff and focus on what we're here for.

I have big-budget, feature films when I want sci-fi concepts and big-budget FX and production. or even just a first-rate gay love story. But I'm here for a good BL and this is not that. It's an attempt to tell a big-budget story on a BL budget and ends up somewhere in the middle, failing at both. Incidentally, I was kind of hoping the elevator was a time machine.

In Thai productions like this, more often than not we get amateur-hour acting from characters such as the corporate dad and wife, the ER nurse, and the suicidal woman, all of which drag things down as well.

And inevitably, there are just silly oversights and bad writing such as...after experiencing what the Bible character did in the freeway tunnel and then reversing in time to before...why the hell would he get back IN the same car and proceed into the tunnel at a high rate of speed so the same thing could happen all over again? Were it me, I would have turned around and gone home or taken another route to campus. lol

So...dropping at 40 minutes. This is going to be another Thai NO for me. Meanwhile, those of you who like this, please enjoy your watch. I will be dropping back in now and then to see what the Mimicat Clique-Cult is up to in comments. :)

Where is a reliable place to watch the uncensored version?

Hoo, boy...it has been a very long time since I've stumbled on to the same BL page as the Mimicat Clique Cult and all its venom. In truth, I had blissfully forgotten all about it, as I've not slipped upon its slime since the KinnPorsche page insanity.

If I find this show watchable, I'm going to have to strap myself in for a wild ride. I just looked up "toxic" in the MDL dictionary and the first definition was "Mimicat Clique Cult."

This is going to be entertaining! I may keep hate-watching even if I dislike the show, simply to visit the page and yell at people. :D

BRAVO. I think you forgot how insane the BL fandom can be because you and I mostly steer clear of Thai BLs, where the madness is at its peak.

As I said above, just think of this weirdneess as the Thai version of the Kpop crazy in Korea. It's a blood sport.

What a nice, reasonable, generous perspective. Please teach Mimicat how to use your skills.

You and the way you post bald assertions as fact, without backup of any kind, is what's weird, problematic, and yes, TOXIC.

Says the pot to the kettle. Man, you are vicious and...problematic af.

You are so much nicer than me! lol This person has explained nothing in a way that makes sense. Mimi is part of the Psycho Thai Celeb/Fan/Media Suicide Machine. It doesn't have nearly as many kills as Korea's version but give it time, tpop and the Thai entertainment industry are still gearing up...

Prove it. It is disgusting how people casually make these accusations without offering any links to reliable sources, which means NONE of the tpop or BL online rags can be cited.

Maggi, the best way to understand this is as the Thai version of the Psycho Korean Celeb/Fan/Media Celebrity Suicide Machine. Any opportunity to attack, no matter how lame or peripheral, will be taken full advantage of. It's what they do for sport.
