quiescent

Wow, thanks for that information. The acting in that short scene was extraordinary. I watched that one scene as many times as it took them to make it.

exactly! most of these scenes we have been talking about in BLs, if happened in real life and someone pressed charges, it would be rape, sexual assault, or something like that. it really is bad. I know I said I wasn't really mad or upset when it happened to me multiple times, but it doesn't mean that what happened wasn't illegal. That's just how i took it. People don't understand if someone slaps your ass, grabs your hips, or kisses you and you didn't ask for it, etc. the law defines that as sexual assault and jail time.

Fighter was mad Tutor broke up with him and pushed his way in Tutor's apartment. Fighter pushed Tutor against the wall and was kissing him and unzipped his pants and Tutor was fighting back the whole time. Fighter then pushed Tutor on the bed kissing his face and then undid his shirt and started to undo his zipper. The whole time Tutor was saying no and stop and he finally gave up and said something like "Are you satisfied". that's when fighter stopped. You can't do that even if you're married to someone. That would be serious jail time if Tutor pressed charges.

I am sure that's the response many people would have. It's just what happens. I am sure if you ask male gay friends have they been sexually assaulted (sexually touched without consent) or had drunk sex they didn't fully consent to (or say they didn't really consent to it in the first place), the majority would say yes.

exactly!

Thx, I updated the names. I haven't seen the drama in awhile and got confused. But like I responded to the other person, my opinion is neither was rape (personal opinion), but it's not that easy for the law to decide. I actually agree with you too. The first commenter felt like it was rape and I was just trying to tell her that it's not atypical for that behavior to happen in BLs and real life for guys. It's so many BLs this happens in, in Why R U, Tutor was sexually assaulted by Fighter, in TharnType, Tharn sexually assulted Type. There were sexual assaults in Addicted and Falling in Love with a Rival. You can go on and on. It is common in gay community for sexual assaults to occur. And I am not saying it's right, that's just what us guys go through...maybe it's because of all the testosterone, idk. I just know it happens and has happened many times to me. I responded to those situations similar to the way it was responded to in the dramas, I wasn't really mad or felt traumatized.

Yup, I agree with you. I personally do not think either was rape and both gave non verbal consent (personal opinion). If you are hugging and kissing and moaning with pleasure, it's not rape (personal opinion). My comment was was just in response to the other person's comment saying it was rape and how could it be justified. I was just trying to say, probably badly, that this happens in many, if not most BLs and possibly in real life. I have been in both situations in which I was the drunk one taken advantage of, in one situation I remember participating and I know I didn't the other, but I wouldn't say rape on either, but I KNOW if I was in my right mind I would not have done it.

It's not that easy under the law. A somewhat drunk person remembers giving consent and a drunk person may not remember giving consent. Having sex with someone under the influence can be considered rape if, because of being intoxicated, that person cannot resist. In college, I have found that drunk people easily give consent, but forget about it and can be upset the next day. That's what meant by not being able to resist. If you want to get technical though, minors cannot give consent, so they could both be charged with a crime (but probably wouldn't), I think it would probably be worse for Tee because he was not drunk and Fuse does not remember. And by the way, Fuse couldn't even walk out the bar, he was carried; so he was carried out the bar and remembers nothing of the previous night, that is major drunk.

Are you really surprised? It's not like it's new. It began with some of the starter BLs; In Make It right, Tee raped Fuse. Tee was feeling bad and eventually told Fuse he did it because he couldn't help himself and it was justified by Fuse saying he was never mad, he was just surprised he woke up next to a male when he hadn't had sex with a female yet.

I wonder if by quality they mean views. The views went down when they changed the air date to Sundays. The quality and versatility of the acting has gone way up.

Think of the last episode of Sotus and the airport scene with Arthit and Kongpob. The whole episode was Airthit mad and crying until he broke-up with Kongpob...then met him at the airport and left with him.

I am glad you mentioned that because I did not know the missing scenes were important, I thought they were just sex scenes. I searched online for the unedited version and there was more dialogue between them in that shower scene than the rest of the movie. And I don't understand Thai either :/ but it looked like it was a very sweet scene.

exactly. we already know what is going to happen at the end. They already talked about the airport and Gav has hung-up in Cai's his face before, but we all know what happened. It will def be a Arthis moment with Gav. I want more fluff too. They actually created new storyline content and could extend the episodes even further. It's going to be the last episode so things will wrap up quickly. I am sure it will be good.

I agree with everything you said. The acting at the end was insanely good. I felt the emotion as if they were both talking to me. That was a good episode.

Exactly! The storyline is getting better. I am not sure why people are not happy with this episode as much. It's like people are forgetting they both have issues. You mentioned only Gavs, but Cairo does too. His dad just died and he has to immediately move away from his home and leave the first person he has been in a relationship with and loves. Gav is not comforting and supporting Cairo like he normally does (understandable because he is hurting too), but I think Cairo is the one that needs the most comfort. This is definitely a problem when the person you love is not providing comfort, but someone else is.

That's all 100. All the actors and staff of Gameboys deserve credit for what they did and are doing, they are the originals of this drama style which all these other dramas are copying. I just think Hello Strangers perfected what Gameboys started.

I don't think Cairo was denying his feelings, instead he was making sure Gav wasn't just messing with him. The only fight they got in was when Cairo thought Gav was using the death of his grandma to mess with him. Once he decided to believe Gav had honest feelings for him, he admitted to Gav he did to. I never got the feeling that Cairo was hiding from Gav. He just didn't believe Gav liked him. That's normal, who would believe someone that was lovey dovey the first time they met you, you would think it was BS too.

Gav is definitely transparent. He is the same Gav that everyone fell in love with in episode 1 to now, nothing has changed.

But I agree with you about Pearl and I can't wait to watch her drama. She is definitely killin it with her support role in the drama.

Definitely! I had Gameboys at the top of my list, but this passed that up with the superb acting. Gameboys still has 3 episodes to go, so hopefully less of the cutesy sparkling eyes and smiling all the time and more character development.

Please let me know by reply comment a link if anyone finds this online in English subtitles.

I would have to agree. Many times public or even outward affection is not there unless someone is turned on. Obviously, that's not the case with everyone. Even with the ending of 2gether, people were upset because they gave a high five, but to me that was accurate. Masc couples that are also friends do behave that way...or the ones I know, including myself. I think the only time I have kissed my bf in public is on new yrs when we were downtown celebrating . It's not because I am opposed to it, in fact if he did it I wouldn't be bothered; we both just don't do it. We tend to put an arm around the neck and jump on each other, slap each other on the butt, or give a stare instead.
