Your insecurities are leaking all over the place.

Rather than simply noting and appreciating the "literary device," it felt compelled to let everyone know it had noticed, and to do so in an instructional tone, as if imparting a revelation no one else had perceived. lol

What other literary thingamabobs can you point out for us, teacher?

Condescending comment.

Yes, we noticed.

I am ALL for straight actors playing gay BL roles.
My problem with it comes when straight actors refuse to actually play the fucking character as, you know, GAY.
There are lots of KR series, especially, in which the MLs do those weird air kisses, where the lips remain a centimeter apart, or mannequin kisses or no kisses at all, even though they're the freaking gay lead, which ruins the entire show.

As you amusingly said, we don't insist that only real serial killers play fictional serial killers.

To verify,
sth = something?
I'm old and not always up-to-date on the latest Internet abbreviations and slang the kids use. :)

Did what you saw of OF S2 seem to be a lot tamer than S1?
I saw Mix walk in at the end as a cliffhanger; that got me interested, but I'm sure S2 sucks.
He's one of the few Thai BL actors I like, though his ski-slope nose job distracts me sometimes.
I don't blame him for having one; his original nose was kind of big.
But his surgeon gave him the cheap-looking ski-slope bridge, another dead giveaway.

"...they might drown in a sea full of pussies."
''ba da pa pa pa'' from McDonals."
"Even the Genie from Aladdin needs more strokes to appear."
"...he would be like a 18+ cosplay of a dolphin."

omg...you are a hoot. :D
You already made my day.

I wish I had known to stick to compilations.
I did a lot of skipping ahead.
There were countless let's-stand-around-and-talk-about-things-we-already-talked-about scenes.

Nor yours, my friend. :)

This doesn't make sense to me.

Episode 12:
OK, all this mess is sexy and fascinating, but it's gotten to the point of stupid.
Characters are wildly inconsistent, but not in a believable way that real people are inconsistent, in a way that stems from bad writing.
Semi-new characters pop up and suddenly are shown to have a past with a main character, and are still "in love" with each other, even though five minutes earlier the same characters were hysterically sobbing their eternal love to each other and planning their wedding.
Ridiculous.
I'll finish this out, but it's become a joke.
Also, the sex scenes are mostly not hot; they cut away much too soon.

A fittingly stupid ending to a stupid series.
Watching the over-the-top, extremely messy drama can be fun, but the plot and script make zero sense, so I took to skipping ahead five and ten minutes here or there to get to scenes that looked uber-dramatic or spicy.
The worst aspect for me is how the plot repeatedly rehabilitates Ray, who is, at heart, an alcoholic in denial, abusive, promiscuous weirdo who keeps falling "in love" and "out of love" with various people, but no one seems to mind.
Enough time wasted on this thing.

5/10

Episode 11:
Top needs to back tf off.

My god, the never-ending dysfunction...is a joy to behold. :P
Hoping for a three-way in the pool next episode.

So...have you already seen this or are you surmising?

Oh my...I like your dirty talk. :D

Over the seven years since I discovered BL I've become much more comfortable with extremely fem characters, IF they are played as authentic individuals, not stereotypes.
There is way too much of that, especially in Thai shows.
And to me, it seems Thai trans women and ladyboys act like drag queens, not women; again...stereotypes.

As far as lube, etc. goes, I agree.
I have to interject that you can successful bang with spit only, if you use tons of it, but yes, usually they lick their palm and stick it in. lol
There needs to be a lot more ass eating. :D

Also, I feel the bottoms play it as more painful than it is if you're doing it right. If it felt that awful, no one would do it, and we DO do it.

Final complaint is that there is way too much of what I call Rabbit Fucking.
They stick it in and then go at it 100 mph.
Have you ever seen rabbits mate?
Look it up on youtube and you'll see what I mean.

hmmm...I've been banged in swimming pools and in the ocean with no water balloon effect.
Do you mean that water gets kind of pumped up inside whoever's bottoming?
Seems like that would only happen if you're sliding all the way out and then back in, otherwise, the dick-to-butt should form a hermetic seal impervious to water. :D

So have you watched S1?
I am about to watch ep 11.
Mark has become my favorite character.
The actor playing him is giving the best performance in the show, too.
I'm now a fan.
Every emotion he plays feels authentic.

The vibe I'm getting in comments is that S2 is much less messy than S1, which means I wouldn't like it so I won't bother.

Episode 10:
For god's sake, he's not nude in the photos, and he looks great in them.
Wake up, bitch. Your brother's a liar.
Top has become a cutie.
His love for Mew has changed him from soulless player to lovesick puppy.
NickDan are cute/hot together.
Dan seems like a catch. I wonder what horrible things we'll discover about him.
Wow! Boeing's bod!
Wow! Boeing in the shower!
Mark is the best actor in this cast. The dock scene with Ton. Bye, bye, Dan. :(

Oh my gosh...Khaotung in the rehab scene with Sand...wow.
That's the kind of ugly sob that happens in rehab IRL. Bravo.

Who is the him you're referring to? I'm lost...

Did someone say it wasn't your comment section to say whatever you want in?
I said the opposite.

Thanks for the tip on HYH. I appreciate it.

When, oh when, will someone make the BL I've been pining for, in which the top eventually gives up his booty to the bottom for the sole pleasure of giving his lover the immense pleasure he so often partakes in?
Even better, in my dream show, the top discovers that he fucking LIKES being penetrated, having discovered a whole new universe of sexual ecstasy. :D
After that, in my dream show, the couple would settle into a fairly versatile sex life, though it doesn't have to be 50/50.
That too would be boring.

As a versatile gay man who leans bottom (and I never thought in these amusingly label-obsessed ways before entering BL World), the plot I describe would be thrilling to see.
The top/bottom trope is mind-numbing in its rigidness and predictability.
It's as if it's a RULE that must not be broken.

Given our start, it's interesting that you and I seem to be developing a rapport. ;)

Clearly, you have a much better grasp of the world of Thai BL production studios than do I.

I discovered and became enthralled with BLs through early Thai shows, almost exclusively.
But of what's been produced since 2020, there are very few I've finished.
Moonlight Chicken and the recent Ticket To Heaven come to mind, though the latter was great through three eps, then crashed and burned for me.
And currently I'm watching the delightfully trashy Only Friends, even though it's stuffed full of all the problems, big and small, that are standard in Thai productions.
I love operatically messy plots. :)

Seems impolite to slam as illogical opinions with which you disagree.

Also, you're wasting your time policing politeness levels and "harsh words." I repeat: No one "makes it seem as if" anything. They may write as if THEY feel a work is a piece of shit, but their writing something doesn't MAKE you feel that way too.

It's that you don't like hearing it, but we're not on MDL or anywhere else with a guarantee nothing we hear, see, or experience will make us uncomfortable. Nor should we be.

A life of blissful comfort in never having our thoughts, or even our sense of decency, challenged, would be a dumber and less stimulating existence.

Something I would def have watched with my kids 35 years ago. Now, not so much. :)
I'm too busy with dark, unhealthy but exciting, Asian flicks and dramas.
