idontwanttothanks

The cut version is what they show on cable in Thailand. We literally can't see it unless we're watching it on TV there.

If someone had told me a month ago that I would be watching this show for FadelStyle and tempted to ffwd through every KantBison scene I would have laughed in your face.

But here we are.

(also, it's because of Bison don't engage talking about how much Kant sucks please I don't care)

See MGB felt ridiculous to me but not in a bad way.

That said mock trailers often do not resemble the show that they turn into later. They're just a concept, really. At least all the OG stuff, which MGB is, yes? I would hold off making opinions about it until the official trailer comes out. You can decide that something isn't for you based on a premise for sure - like I'm not really into werewolves, for instance so I can confidently say a werewolf romance probably isn't something I'll be into - but deciding quality before you've even seen anything really is a fool's game.

My guess though is that there will be people disappointed no matter what. Too much time to build up what they want in their heads. Then you'll have the people for whom GMMTV will never do a right thing ever again, the people who will be mad if these two kiss too much, people who will be mad if they kiss too little...I am determined to enjoy myself, however. Unless it's so bad that I can't even just turn my brain off and have a good time, that is. Always a possibility but I'm pretty easy lol.

Eh you came in here to get a reaction and you got one - don't complain.

Its the other way around. The novel came second.

Really? Bison and Kant? I thought it went Bison >>>>> Fadel > Style > Kant myself.

Bison was absolutely THE main character lol. The author's crush was showing big time (this is not me speculating she literally said she only wrote it for Khaotung).

I think it's actor bias personally. My problem is that I don't care about Bison at all while I'm really enjoying Kant at the moment. I did not expect him to be like this and my biggest fear is that it will go away the second he falls in love for real and then he will be useless. I think that's what most people want though - they want him utterly devoted to Bison and they're rejecting him right now because he isn't. Me, I don't get it but well. As I said Bison is currently almost a non-entity to me.

And yes I think the fact that it is a romance is tripping people up, but right now it's exactly my kind of show. I'm sure that love will happen because it is a romance, but I love the black humor and the fact that currently no one is really all that into anyone for themselves and that everyone is playing a game but poor Fadel who just needs a nap and for people to stop calling him heartless. But also one of my favorite US TV shows is Hannibal so darker romance is kind of right up my alley. I have said before though that I am looking forward to the point when being willing to do anything TO each other becomes being willing to do anything FOR each other and I stand by that.

As for the heartbreak - yes I agree that is a little eyeroll inducing. But again, people are here to see Khaotung cry I think. Me I feel like I see it every drama and every time it feels even more like bait for awards lol. He's the Leo DiCaprio of Thai BL to me, a little. Personally I would love it if Bison reacts with pure fury but I rarely get what I want from these shows, I am definitely not the demographic they're aimed for when it comes to this stuff lol (I still find a lot to love though otherwise I'd leave. A little eye rolling is bearable).

(sorry for the essay. I have a lot of thoughts about this)

Lol yes. I was reading people acting like Kant drugging Bison was the worst thing that anyone has ever done on the show ever and Kant is irredeemable for it when not even twenty minutes earlier I'd watched Fadel and Bison do the same thing to someone else. It was wild.

The more people get mad at Kant though the more I stubbornly root for him. 🤣

Does every pair of siblings have to look alike for it to be believable? If so I guess me and my siblings are screwed.

I'm gonna be honest. Morality policing in this show is stupid anyway, but anyone who is watching and genuinely thinks Kant is the worst of the lot is just...mind boggling to me.

WHEN.

It's been 84 years.

It is implied that he had someone at some point - I don't remember when, sorry, but he says that there was someone that asked him to stop killing and that is why he has been pretending that his hand (?) injury is worse than it is. But that is it. I think he's talking to Fadel when he says it and it's definitely towards the end. Maybe when everyone and their brother shows up to pick Fadel and Bison up from prison?

THK is available on youtube for most people afaik. Not the US but I can watch it with a UK VPN easy.

Cats, actually. 🤣

Oh no I'm about to correct you, sorry. But the show isn't based on the novel thank god. The novel was written after the screenplay, although accounts differ on how much the author actually got before writing. And she has said multiple times that she did her own thing with the basic beats.

And that is all I will say I respect people's need to not want to know anything. :D

This comment section is exactly what I thought it would be 🤣🤣🤣

I am begging people to learn the difference between this kind of insane reality vs. any show we're actually supposed to take super seriously. The very fact that they're positioning the assassins as anyone to root for should tell you the kind of show you're getting into from the jump. If you can't handle characters whose morals are all over the place (and highly self-motivated) then stop watching. It's fine. Not every show is for everyone.

Fadel is the best I adore him and Kant is deliciously ruthless. I can't say I like him but I find him the most fascinating of all of them, even Fadel. Bison is meh to me and Style currently has more balls than sense. But it's only ep three there's still plenty of time for that to change.

I do really like the push/pull between Bison and Kant and I hope that it doesn't disappear once real feelings develop. Right now they're pretty evenly matched and I like that.

Fadel and Style are firing for me pretty well, I'm glad that the show seems to be taking more the 10 Things route to them than the OG Taming. I liked Patrick way better than Petruchio.

I like the dark comedy vibe a whole lot, and I'm having fun watching all these people treat each other like crap. Really hope it leads to them all still being insane but with the difference being that instead of doing anything TO each other they start doing anything FOR each other. Sue me, I'm here for escapism and I still want my happy ending, I'm just not expecting any of these dudes to turn into upstanding people because of love (or at least, I'm hoping they won't).

Or maybe he's hoping that Style *not* knowing will save his life.

At least you're not one of the ones mad at him for daring to betray Bison though. I guess there's that.

This kind of "oh you only like this because it has your faves" thing just makes it look like you can't handle disagreement, fwiw.

Personally I like it because the only character I really care about thus far is Fadel so I can just be amused by watching them do awful things to each other. My faves are immaterial babes I've watched crappier shows than this with actors I didn't even like just to amuse myself.

Isn't ThamePo on Fridays?

Does anyone have an idea what will get the Mon/Tues slot?
