Oh wow. I feel you. I like EY a lot, but yeah...dark. That it's the same production house as this one makes perfect sense.

It's subversive and much better than 90% of BLs. How's that?

Another wonderful comment! But hey, based on some hints from Koki's phone convo with his mom, I think we're going to find out she cares about him a lot underneath her gruff/tough/jaded exterior. She runs a fucking brothel, for god's sake! lol But before she hung up, she told him, "no matter what, I'm glad you're still alive." Plus, SHE called HIM. And we see in the preview of next week that she shows up at his house. She cares about him and I think we'll discover she's a good person, too.

To me, it's charisma and natural sexual energy that overwhelms his unusual looks and makes him powerfully attractive. But his looks are likely a big part of the reason the show's rating is currently so low: 13-year-old MDL fangirls do NOT go for "unique," they go for "idol," and they don't understand sexual energy. In fact, most are frightened by it.

Is this flowery piece an audition for a position as arts critic somewhere?

Bravo! I second every word of your comment. This is the kind of show of such quality that it's simply over the heads of the majority MDL crowd.

I second Maggi64: MDL is an outlier full of immature, BL fan girls who think Bad Buddy is a "masterpiece." A low rating here is pretty much a compliment, as annoying as they can sometimes be to see.

But he's a sweet, salty bitch. It's clear he likes Koki and now thinks he's cute despite his cranky, fixed expression.

And casting great actors.

I just now am re-watching the show for the third time, so I hadn't seen your comment until now. It's one of the best Thai BLs there is, and the behavior that freaks out all the little girls here is a big part of what makes it a powerful drama, instead of the limp fluff we mostly get out of Thailand these days.

So apparently, I watch it once a year, lol. Discovered BLs three years ago.

MDL demographics show the site to be dominated by a cohort of Western females in their upper teens. Most in the U.S., where SJW/PC/sex-negative thinking has taken over a generation. It's pathetic. They think they have some right to go through life without having to confront and experience behavior they don't like, as well as the feelings that accompany doing so.

"This makes me uncomfortable" is their rallying cry. Dramatic stories are SUPPOSED TO make you uncomfortable. They also think the audience immediately condones and imitates negative behavior just because they see it in a live-action show. These people are beyond lame.

THANK YOU. I'm back for a third watch of TWM-TNC over three years. I love this show BECAUSE of the plot elements that so many 13 year-olds here lose their minds over.

Cheating happens.
So does forgiveness, regret and apology, redemption, and love, love, love.

On MDL, as everywhere else in the world, people like to judge and condemn others so they can feel better about themselves. They imagine THEY would never in a million years do such a thing. They are wrong.

Korn is one of my all-time favorite Thai BL characters. Strong and masculine, but also sweet, caring, and loving. These qualities are part of why what goes down late in this season is so compelling and controversial, like a good drama should be.

So BRAVO on the review. I'm going to change my rating to 10/10 just to counteract some of the irrational hate this show gets here.

It's a compelling and controversial season, considering it came out of Thailand. :P

BRAVO again. Beautifully stated.

How old are you? 13?

BRAVO. MDL is infested with self-righteous commenters who fantasize themselves as someone in a position to pass judgment on others. Condemning other people makes them feel better about themselves. And anything having to do with sex sets them on fire because most of them are also prudes.

I agree with every word you said above. That glass of wine helped ease the way into Pete's butt also, btw. lol

"They say that first step is always the hardest one, and someone who cheated once will do it again. I'm sorry, but this is true. "

Who is "they?" How do you know "this is true?" I ask because it is NOT true.

According to statistics from studies done in the real world, 45%, or less than half, of partners who "cheat" (I dislike that word; it's a ridiculous and judgmental term), will do it again in another, later relationship with someone else. I couldn't find statistics on partners who cheat once doing it again within the same relationship in which they were caught.

If you think Korn is likely to repeat his behavior, after we all saw how utterly destroyed he was by what he'd done, even before Knock found out, you weren't paying attention. That man will never again have sex with anyone but Knock. He was about to confess to Knock of his own volition when the psycho, fake girlfriend came knocking to gleefully spread the news.

Try not judging other people with condemnatory, blanket labels.

It's the best of the three seasons. It features actual, real human failings, along with concepts a lot of self-righteous, fluff-loving, tender flowers here don't comprehend, like forgiveness, regret, and redemption. Conflict makes for great drama, and the second half of this show has a lot of it.

A fluffy/sad/happy story told many times before, but done so well and with such conviction that I am deeply moved by it. Who cries over a fluff-fest like this? ME.

A show can get away with murder when the actors at the story's heart are talented and have this level of chemistry. Consider me slain.
