Now, to the start of TT2. It appears to be beginning with the old "tropish" jealousy, misunderstanding, wifey do what I say, yada, yada, yada, kind of feel to me. If the relationship has been going well for 7 years, as the story indicates, then why are we back to this? Haven't there been any other issues they could've or currently be tackling now? OK, the "marriage" angle, that's actually the beginning of something that could become a good story. Everything else is just a replay.
What's the general feeling about this? I watched Season 1 and liked it only for the actors and the chemistry:…
Well, as you may know, I'm no personal fan of MAME either for just the same reason. I didn't personally like TT1 mainly because all of the sexual violence in the series, as well as the "wifey" thing. Yeah, the actors were handsome an all. But, the story was as lame, as it was sick, IMO. That's my opinion. Many may choose to disagree, and that is OK. It's still all good!
Sorry to say, I don’t agree with you as I’ve watched all of them too. You should wider your perception. I…
Sorry to say. Although you make some valid points, I would have to agree with Synchonicity. MAME does appear to be obsessed with man/man rape tropes, as well as other toxic stereotypes. I agree with you that she exposed the audience to those who have been victimized, as well as the deeds of "bad" people. However, in her world, "evil" seems to prevail, and there seems to be "no" justice for the victims (at all). Yes, they seem to find "true" love down the line, after being victimized (often horrifically). YES, it makes for a great story in the BL genre (as toxic as it may be). But, NOT all stories in the BL world have to be based on "love found after being sexually assaulted." Just like, NOT all stories in the BL genre have to be about "high school boys in blue shorts," "students in the colleges of medicine and engineering", or "university students preying on naive young high school boys". Thai BL has come along way in the past 5 to 10 years. Thank goodness it has evolved to where there ARE more stories and series of substance, where BL and lgbtq+ characters are more inclusive and accepted by the other characters, and a more realistic view of how people (including boys and men) who love each other ARE SUPPOSED TO TREAT EACH OTHER. Remember, BL stands for "Boys Love", with the emphasis (at least I hope) on the "LOVE".

I'm quite sure many posters probably felt the same way. I personally did not, and that's ok. I agree with you that it was most likely "honest story telling." But, then again, I would guess it depends on "who's" telling the story.
Also, I would respectfully disagree with you that the show dealt with the noted issues in a meaningful way. Here's an example: the characters in the series (including the mains) used sexual assault and violence to either gain control, torment, punish, or otherwise take revenge on other characters. Other than the "eventual" love story that came about between Tharn & Type, I fail to see how that is dealing with those issues was in a "meaningful" way.
Finally, you are correct in that no one's going to force anyone to watch this series. But, I think it's "very clear" how those issues fit into the story. Just, not how you thought they fit into the story.
The Tin/Can/dad recitation was ok. It kind of mimicked the novel, so it was ok. However, the rest of the episode was disjointed and was all over the place with Techno/Kla, as well as Tum with the other guy??
As someone who loved the show since the beginning, I'm very disappointed at how this ended.The finale was VERY…
Yeah, you're right. It did jump back and forth. But, you know, that's how romcoms end. I actually liked the ending. At least it wrapped up some of the loose ends. Hopefully, in season 2, the series will improve.
Okay! All I will say is this. Yes, this series had it's flaws. But, it also had its moments. And, this ending ep was one of those moments. Now that is how you end a romcom series! IMO, that was great!
