This series had some cute scenes and a lot of unnecessary fluff, but what really annoys me, is how nonchalant some Thai BL's deal with serious crimes (especially, rape). She already tried to kill Cake and then she hires some guys to gangrape him and what is Kla's reaction? He comforts her ! Don't cry, its OK, just please don't kill or gangrape my boyfriend.... If she does that to my boyfriend, she would be in jail !!!
Was OK, good chemistry - but what the f... was that last scene?.....Hey I now agree to be your boyfriend - wait for me, I'm back in 4 or 5 years !!!!! you can wait 4-5 days, even 4-5 month, if you are really in love, but nobody waits 4-5 years - that would never work.
LOVED, LOVED this show - one of the best shows and just what I needed. A show where everybody backstabs everybody and where you are forced to root in every episode for another person/couple. And my favorite character was dumb auntie who hit it out of the park, every time she opened her mouth 😊 I totally agree with the 10 and 9 ratings from the reviewers but understand that most BL watchers give low ratings for shows with no happy ending. I usually prefer happy endings too, but in this show that was not even a realistic option, considering how they backstabbed each other 🤔 Only drawback was the last episode where everyone suddenly dropped their knives and went lovey-dovey 😔
they are supposed to have around 25 years gap, though it doesn't look that way =D
Not really, they only had to change the part, that he was the doctor delivering Aksorn, and it could have been a 10-15 year age difference. On the other hand they could have been bold and be the first BL to show intimate scenes between a 25 year old and a 50 year old (maybe using an actor with a little bit of a belly and thinning hair) 🙄🤣
This really didn't work internationally. Only if ..... People cared for Taiwanese BLs the way they did back then.
oh no, I believe that a well written and beautifully acted show like this is exactly what the international community wants - more than the daily Thai fare with look-a-like bleached models and light, interchangeable stories
Actually, I wasn't bothered about the brothers to lovers because it was well done. It never felt weird to me. It was not rushed or just a relationship thrown at us. More than half of the show was used to deal with the feelings, implications, suppression, denials and uncertainties of this relationship. This show fully deserves the 8.5 rating!
“ Young Royal” is not a BL. it’s LGBTQ+ , a western gay tv show. it’s not the same. Bls are Asian. I did…
It's exactly the same format and concept than Asian BL's and they; are all some form of LGBTQ+ TV shows, right? But I'm open to call it something different. How about calling them an EBL (European BL) or NABL (Non Asian BL) 😁
Okay lets be honest, this was a bit confusing especially in the second half. Time and place and people all got…
I agree with you on acting and you made a good point regarding the weird outfits that were identical for both worlds. Using slightly different clothing styles for each world could have helped with the confusion of dreams, nightmares and back flashes multiplied by two worlds :)
I just finished watching it - the good things first - the acting was actually good and the story had the potential to be great - but the execution /editing was unfortunately horrible. First they did not clean up the script and with multiple time lines you get easily tangled up if you don't do that (especially if you have the same characters in different time lines). There were two worlds - then they added dreams and nightmares (for two worlds of course) and to make it even more confusing, they added tons of back flashes (again you needed to guess to which world they belonged). To top it off they had the same/similar clothing in the different time lines. If you don't have a top notch editor and threads that clearly identifies timelines, you end up with a muddled mess - and that is exactly what happened. Another missed opportunity 🫠
So, I watched it and not sure I liked it. It had some cute comedy moments but altogether a bit bland and nothing special. But to be honest, this show could not impress me, because I just binge-watched all 3 seasons of one of the best BL's ever made - the Swedish BL "Young Royals". It's very different from the Asian BL's I usually watch (more diverse characters and less models). If you have Netflix you should watch this show - absolutely amazing ❤️😊
1st couple story was all over the place - I quickly dropped them and started following 2nd couple - but they had…
i totally disagree - i believe the script writing made this show really good and shows that good dialogues and acting can be far more captivating than than big drama
Loved it !!! simple story, beautifully written and acted. This should be a textbook and mandatory watching for Thai screenwriters on how to write dialogues. Its witty, serious, obnoxious, funny but never looked force-scripted. Of course you need the right actors who can bring the script to life and make it believable. And all 4 main actors did an amazing job portraying their characters. I consider this show still underrated :)
they are supposed to have around 25 years gap, though it doesn't look that way =D
correct - the story had real potential but - I never thought that I will ever say that about a Thai BL :) - it needed 2 more episodes to get some hastily mentioned information explained and to develop some chemistry between the main actors

If there was a 25 year age gap intended, then cast somebody in that age range or at least clearly older.. The producers probably thought it was less controversial to have the age gap in the script than to actually show that the other guy is older than his father.
So lets get that right. Songjam came to this world, studied medicine, did his residency and he was the doctor, who delivered Aksorn. That means - Songjam must be in his 50s. He aged pretty well 🙂
