I kind of thought all along that Tonkla would be the "weakest link," Old jealousy, rivalry and envy are always nearby, when it comes to friendship betrayal.
I blame the industry! too much fan service and not just for those two. honestly William Est are getting an army…
Come on! Let's be realistic! YES, it's the industry. YES, it's the fan service. YES, it's the online culture. And, YES, it's troubling and unhealthy for the actors. It's probably ALL of that and more. However, in this day and age (especially with the explosion of social media worldwide), it is nearly impossible for many of the actors/artists/musicians, their agents/management/representatives, and/or even some of their families NOT TO ALREADY KNOW THIS! One would guess that the possible fame, fortune and recognition that could be gained from being part of the industry appears to be worth it! If it isn't, then why even bother?????
I think there were (2) main issues with this bl drama: (1) The producers attempted to do a "watered-down" Thai remake of an extremely mature and controversial Chinese BL. (2) The series decided to use August as one of the leads. He was just so much older than the rest of the cast (even though he looked younger) and that setup a miriad of issues with how the series was percieved.
What made the original Addicted so "addicting" was that it was gritty, mature, and had "grown" actors portraying such mature roles. Yes, they might've been a little older than typical HS students, but not by much, so it wasn't that distracting. The Chinese version, IMO, was better acted with a much more mature theme. The Thai version was just too cutsey to really portray the level of maturity needed for the series.
Finally, although I thought August did a good job with the acting, his being 11+ years older than his on-screen partner just rubbed many the wrong way. One reason was that the other three characters were "actually" teenagers. Therefore, their interactions seemed more believable. August on the other hand, was an adult portraying a teenager. One could only imagine how the other actors felt about it, IDK. I think that if they had chosen another teenager for the role of Hero, then maybe a different dynamic may have been protrayed in the series, and possibly a lot less criticisms over the age-factor.
I don't know what to make of this series??? Half the time I'm smh and the rest of the time I'm going wft! Yeah, it's cringy. Yeah, it's tropey. And, yeah, it bleeds all kinds of noncom and sexual harrassment, LOL. But idk what I'm looking at or looking for in this one! LMFAO!!!
I'm not really sure about this series. It is cutesy, but also tropey as well. Unlike several, I kind of liked the way that they added a little something more during each "flashback" scene. I thought that was interesting -- mainly because it reminds us that people can remember (or not remember) things a little differently. Unfortunately, I must agree with many of the posters about Jimmy being brought in for a love triangle. They could've taken it in a different direction, but chose to stay tropey, and we're only on ep. 6 of 12 eps.! OMG! LMFAO! I can only imagine what GMMTV will try to fill the other 6 eps. with???? Oh well, I guess we'll have to wait and see. LOL
P.S. Although this may NOT be the best bl series, it is cute, light-hearted, with no overly toxic behavior. And it certainly could've been MUCH worse. LOL
Don't forget! Nakan has now had a taste of the Golden Blood. It might change hm as it did Mark. Then BOOM, Nakan…
Remember, the golden blood has a powerful affect on vampires. It's already causing Mark to once again have "feelings, emotions, etc." Who says it won't have the same affect on Nakan, now that he's tasted it? A good setup of the "side couple'.
P.S. I wouldn't be surprised if the Golden Blood has the power to heal Ms. Thara!
At first, I thought I wouldn't like this series. But it's turn out to be pretty good series with that good romcom feel. So far, no toxicity. And neither main character is some dimwitted oaf. I hope it progresses this way and not include overused tropes to further the plot -- that would ruin the good romcom feel, IMO.
In my opinion positions and characters are two different things. Till Hidden Agenda they used the Joong dom (what…
Well, "top/bottom" specifically refers to the sexual position each partner portrays in the relationship. Where as "dom/sub" refers to the "role" each partner portrays in the relationship, which is far more complicated.
