Title 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 🙂

ditto. I watched a Viet BL abt a cat turning into a human and I can't stop thinking this should have been love…
One of my favorite BL from Vietnam is "Want to see you". I highly recommend watching it!

This wasn't 'What the Duck' bad but it's pretty close.
I think "What the Duck" was their inspiration ....they did not use any ducks in this series either :)

I felt so badly for that dog. He was panting furiously while his huge tongue was hanging out. They needed to keep…
Maybe the dog watched the show - that would explain the panting furiously, tongue hanging out and not having a good time

To be honest, it is not THAT bad to the point I wanted to stop watching the show (as a lot of people did in the…
me too ..wow.... really rare to see such a bad show coming out of S-Korea.

May I add a point to your list :)

9. The entire show was playing in a "cafe" with plenty of tables. Who can guess how many customers this cafe has in a day / week / month ? (Hint: its a little bit less than 1).

Title Bad Brother
Finally get around to watch this show and I don't regret it. It was for sure a low budget production but the cast made it work. A simple story, no big drama and that means the actors need to carry the show - and they did a rally god job. If you watch this show, please try not to compare it with today's shows. It its one of the shows who paved the way to todays BL successes. This show is a great sample of why BL's went mainstream and is unfortunately underrated.

Title Gray Shelter
The drama is at least an 8/10 ...7.3 is extremely low... Just a pov for the ones who are debating between watching…
i totally agree but i anticipated a low rating. Unfortunately too many people in here rate a show based on looks of the cast and happy ending. I enjoyed this show ....wrong ... i did not enjoy it - i found it interesting and thoughtful and fascinating.

I personally rate the show above average but not top end. It got a bit repetitive and drawn out in the middle episodes. Furthermore they could have done a better job showcasing the social media problem, that many celebrities face. Bloggers and posters care only about "hits" and "likes". The juicier the content, the more hits/likes they can get and as long as they add a question mark at the end, they can post whatever you want :)

sad, happy, or open-ended ending?
it's a beautiful and romantic love story with a happy ending :) There is lots of crying going on but not for the usual drama. The script and dialogues were well written and I think you'll enjoy this show. If you decide to watch it, let me know what you think :)

The first thing I noticed when I started to watch the show were the really bad subtitles. They were computer generated and often made no sense at all. At the end of the show (fast forwarded quite a lot) I realized, that the subtitles were probably the best and most professional part of this series. 😮 What a waste of time watching this.

Honestly the rating and comments below are kind of depressing. Basically, most commenters say, to get a high rating it must have lots of BL content and a happy ending. Really!? I think this was a very well done and produced series, showing teen angst and teen-adult transition pains. The time when you avoid looking into a mirror, because you are afraid of what you are looking at. Congrats to the actors, they did a great job defining their characters :)

I love how this series gives a realistic view of the BL entertainment industry. Hey you are cute, you can be in our show. You can't act - never mind, the other actors fall into the same category 😬

It sounds alright yeah, good actually but I'm not here for music lol
actually I was surprised how well the actors played the instruments . Usually the movements of the hands, bows, etc don't match the music - this cast (including the hand models playing the piano :) did a great job
