It seems that most of Oxin Films have become just "so over the top" with the overacting, stereotypes, tropes, and cringy behavior. Unfortunately, it seems this series has fallen down that trap already, and it's only the first episode. OMG!
This series is ok. But I think it would've been soooo much better if Hsiao Hung had been cast in the part of Wang Zhan. He and Parker Mao were so good together in You Are Mine.
Whether you liked The Last Twilight or not (I did), you have to agree that William Jakraptr literally killed that OST! That song was sung so beautifully that it's hard not to touch your heart!
Even though this series, and especially this ep. showed just how cut-throat and vicious the idol industry can be. In that respect this fantasy BL probably mimics real-life more than anything else. But, I just wished GMMTV hadn't used the old BL playbook in the script. Everyone knew that this break-up would happen around the second or third to the last ep., so the final eps can focus on the happy make-up. That's such lazy writing, and we've seen it happen many many times before. Just once it might be nice and interesting to have a few twists or something different happen in the story (especially at the end). LOL
From your comment, you obviously have personal beef with Mame and you're taking it out on the Actors, there has…
First, unless you're reading something else, I never said that there was rape or sexual assault in this series. That let me know that this conversation is both pointless and useless. I think you should look in the mirror for who's the real hater.
This series is really good and if it was as bad as you say you wouldnt watch. It seems your intentions are just…
First of all, that's your opinion. I have an opposite opinion. And for the record, you don't get to decide what anyone (other than yourself) can watch or not watch because you disagree with their opinion. If this is YOUR attitude, then you might consider going somewhere else. Second, as I told another poster, I have no personal feeling about Mame any sort of way. However, I can (and do) dislike what she writes and how she portrays her characters in her works. If you like or are into rape, sexual assault and sexual manipulation, then that's your thing and not mine.
From your comment, you obviously have personal beef with Mame and you're taking it out on the Actors, there has…
I'm not sure your comment is accurate. But, you're entitled to your opinion, as am I. However, for the record, I have no personal beef with Mame. But I will admit that I'm NOT a fan of her portrayal of rape, sexual assault, and sexual manipulation of the characters in her works and portraying it as "love" or a way to express love. Now, if that makes me a hater, as your comment suggests, then I guess you were right and I own it.
If Noeul's not careful, he'll be forever type-cast as the proverbial "dimwitted, effeminate, youthful, uke" in BLs, which could make it difficult to portray other characters. Or, could this be his professional acting goal?
That's harsh. He's been very caring toward Sei for years. Why he crossed the line in his behavior is debatable...not,…
Harsh? Hmmm? IMO, NO ONE has the right, no matter how long or how much caring they've provided to you, how "betrayed" they felt by you, or how frustrated they are over you, to "cross the line" and sexually assault you. This shouldn't even be a discussion.
It may be a cultural issue. But in every culture, NO means NO! So YES, it was rape, even if Japanese law says…
I'm not sure. But from what I understand, in 2023 Japan revised it's law to define rape as "nonconsensual sex." But it has had problems implementing the law when it came to same-sex cases.
Personally, I'm not into this idol thing in any format whether it be a reality show or a boyband, nor can I relate…
Unfortunately, we're probably in the minority (at least as far as MDL is concerned). This was a fanservice series from the get go for fans of LYKN. So, with 3 eps. left, I'm sure Po and Thame (which is the proper way to say since Po is 4 years older Thame both in the show and in real life, LOL) will have some sort of break-up issue before getting back together for a lovey-dovey ending. LMFAO!
