quiescent

All of what you said makes sense, but you're likely to drive group A to anger. I can't be upset with them though because they are the ones that drive BL and K-pop with their enthusiasm. I began to watch episode 1 because of the reviews and I couldn't make it far in the episode because the cringe is ridiculous. To me, lately, the 'bullies' and the 'nerds' look unreal and awkward. They don't look like bullies or nerds. You can't just put glasses on someone and call them a nerd or say someone is a bully because they are taller than everyone else. I feel the storytelling and casting is getting progressively worse. I am gay and BL/bromance are my favorite genre types, but the last few months I prefer anything but that genre. The only exception is Japanese BL/bromance because, overall, for me, it's better-quality storytelling and casting.

I gave it a 7. What lowered my rating is the consistency of the story telling. It seems two different directors were involved: one for the first few episodes and one for the last episodes. The first episodes spent much time recapping previous episodes (why take 5 to 7 minutes of a 30 min drama recapping what we watched already) and had many flashbacks (too many flashbacks), so it was hard to focus without being bored or fast fwd. The last episodes were more linear in telling the story (no flashbacks). I still don't understand the relationship between Kim Jung Hyun and Cha Jung Woo. I would have rated a 6 if it wasn't for Han Tae Young's smiling so much.

No, you're right. These games are basic tag games (except one). I am only on episode 6 though; I can only stand one episode a day. Death game dramas are all about unique games, stunts, and a bunch of action. I checked to see if it was the same director because it seems like a different director was hired for season 2. There should not be a romantic storyline for people that just met. At least I could understand the emotion in season 1 because all the guys knew each other from the previous world. This affectionate storyline seems forced. I find myself wishing Usagi would die because then I think the action would pick up. I hope the final games are more interesting.

They hide him from the waist down in front. You see his naked butt the whole time. It's not quick shots of his butt, it's his butt permanently being shown.

I un-dropped it. I will try again soon at your recommendation. We will see...

Exactly. The writing has been ridiculous recently. There are few exceptions, of course, but it's getting worse. I could not get past episode 1 of My only 12% and I barely got past Big Dragon with skipping. I just finished To Sir, With Love and it was decent, but it's a lakorn so it's not the same. These Thai writers used to always be cutting edge in BL, I hope they are not running out of steam.

The MDL pages would be pretty quiet if people were not allowed to share their opinions. Adaption or not, I am nervous too. They don't look the expected part (and that's okay). Japanese BL dramas are ridiculously different from Thai BLs (and nothing is wrong with that). The 1996 version Romeo + Juliet with Leonardo Dicaprio made me nervous too. That adaption was so different than expected...I loved it though.

I agree. The acting and production value are excellent. The problem is the poor character development. After spending 2 hours watching the movie, I still don't care about any of them. Well, I don't think any of them cared about each other either. Lol.

I made it 20 minutes into episode 3 and I am dropping this. I cannot take it anymore. It is all cringe. The actor playing Rain is awkward and his acting looks unnatural. This is the way BLs were in the beginning. Too much time has passed for this type of writing and acting.

I assumed he started dressing like the person he felt he really was, and a stranger killed him.

I agree with you. I think people that believe otherwise will find out one day that the best decision you can come-up with today, may be the worst decision you ever came-up with tomorrow. I have a long list of best turned into worst decisions I have made.

Definitely. The over-the-top acting and the intense stares are made for stage. When the males are talking, mom awkwardly looks back-n-forth at them listening and waiting for her turn to speak. I think it would be a great play. I am only on episode 2 and it's more work than enjoyment to watch. I really like Mam, but idk if I will be able to continue watching.

If you never leave a BL incomplete, the other person is right, Do Not Watch What The Duck. haha.

Exactly! We are not fools. I just finished episode 4. I have been fast fwd through 80% of the episodes (idk why it's cause i loved episode 0 so much i keep watching and hoping for it to get better). They showed a nude butt and scenes of actors in their draws and think they have made a good drama. haha...not!

You may find other bad dramas and watch them, but you will not find worse that this right now. Like someone said, this is 2022 and a drama should not be this long and this bad. What the duck was bad and I dropped it, but it was mostly corny, silly acting and storyline from the beginnings of the BL dramas. This is a bigger budget 2022 drama and is trash, that's bad.

Yes. I haven't even begun Don't Say No, and probably won't. Their storyline in TharnType was uninteresting. Their characters just do nothing for me.

mine too

It was just like part one. It takes over an hour to get interesting, right when it does, it ends. It's so annoying. The action scenes/ending in both make up for the insanely slow burn starts.

Always
