Gosh, seeing the term " Uke " being thrown around so often here is so odd. Eiw comes off as a being really shy…
Hes so stereotypically an uke that they could definite it in the dictionary as "Eiw from 'My Only 12'%"
He fainted because he attempted to run, after about three steps. You can't get much more helpless. And how many grown men have to be escorted to the bathroom like a small child because they're scared? Being an uke doesn't mean the character is effeminate, altough Eiw is one of the more effeminate ukes. They're just the more passive part of the couple. They need to be protected and taken care of by a seme, and usually, but not always, have fairly limited agency - thing happen to them, they don't drive events.
I don’t know if this is just because I grew up watching a lot of English and American soaps, but has anyone…
I think you're giving them too much credit for examining issues. I think it was just an incredibly weak plot device to try to justify having a teenager faint after three paces just because he had a moderate lunch.
I like this better than I thought I would, but an 8.7? Really?
What makes this work for me are Rain & Sky. Rain isn't really my type, but Noeul is doing a good job with the role and he and Peat have really good comic timing. I like Boss and think he's hot, but probably not as much as everyone else does.
There are some stupid things in here that it's inexplicable the writer doesn't know, like underwear size has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with penis size, it's based on your waist size. Rain could have an elephant penis and he'd still be wearing size small. I'm fairly sure Mame has never actually met a man, based on her writing.
And of course the totally stupid seatbelt cliche, which didn't fit a all because it's quite clear Phayu wants to kiss Rain, because he already has several time and it's only Ep 2.
Anyway, I do like that Rain is sexually attracted to Phayu and isn't doing the usual uke virgin routine, like Kim in Forgotten Night, who thinks it's a scandal to be kissed on the cheek even thought it's a BDSM story. Everything about their interaction is really good except the bad kissing? And why did Rain bite his lip? That's not a very good way to signal you want someone to gall in love with you. I'd slap him.
The ratings dropped from an 8 to 7.7 real fast. I wonder if it was from Toy smiling too much this episode because…
It dropped from 7.8 to 7.7 - I think it's mostly because people don't like that it's only 4 episodes. I've noticed a strong correlation between length and rating.
To me it seems like Thai BLs have started shifting towards the aesthetics of South Korea/western countries in…
I feel really bad for the poor actors, too. Although when they're indoors in air-conditioned spaces it might actually be a little chilly. But for oudoor scenes it must be torture.
I'm not going to tell you you're wrong, because a this point there is very little I would put past the writing…
Was there a different actor cast to b Khom and then replaced? It's amazing he's only 3 years older than Baiboon. After the ep 10 he's my favorite - it was a bit of a Khom goldmine.
The person who introduces the idea of 'towel hooks' and 'towel rods' to rich Thai people is going to make a fortune.…
Hmm. I was thinking I should invest in the company that makes those shower fixtures. Once when grapping for a towel after a shower I put too much weight on the towel rack and it bent and fell of the wall and scratched up the drywall pretty bad. But the shower fixures in that resort could be used as cranes to lift grand pianos.
@doyoungluvbot,do you think that Kamol,and Kim should actually break up with each other permanently,or stay together…
I think they should take a long cruise to Norway and leave the rest of the runtime of the series to more interesting things, i.e. everything other than them.
Don't forget the BGM playing as if Baiboon's scraped knee was a life-threatening event. *facepalm*
i'm surprised Khom didn't sweep him up in his (muscled, lickable) arms and carry him bridal-style to the house to give him a damp towel wipedown and dab his knee with one of those gross yellow q-tips.
Since I saw no one else talking about this, I genuinely feel like Kamol was groomed by Danil (assuming he's way…
I'm not going to tell you you're wrong, because a this point there is very little I would put past the writing on this disaster (athlough it's possibly more likely that Danil is Kamol's clone made during an alien abduction but they got his appearance wrong because we all look the same to them), but Danil can't be be more than a few months older than Kamol. That means nothing, because I wouldn't put it past the producion to hire an actor a few months older that is playing someone 40 years older. But we'll soon see.
OK, so this isn't exactly hate-posting anymore because this has become so bad that it's collapsed into a singularity and transported us to an anti-matter universe.
Who takes a bath like that? Why was the water running until he was done and then he turned it off and got up? Was the drain open the whole time and wasting YET MORE water? And who doesn't dry off with a towel but instead shimmies with great difficulty into an obivously polyester robe and drips water everywhere?
And I'm getting sick of uke sex-phobia. "What's wrong with you?" Yes, Kamol, you sicko - what man in his 20s would ever want to have sex with his boyfriend? At night and in private?!? What a perverted monster!
And Kamol looks like an idiot dressed all in black while on vacation a resort in THAILAND. You do realize you're in SE Asia a few blocks from the Equator, right? Athough at least he doesn't wear a sweater 24/7 like Kim. Sigh.
Khom looked so hot in that sleeveless shirt that I wanted to hump his arms. And if I were Baiboon in the bathroom I would have been on my knees so fast...
How many f@#$ing times is Kamol going to thank Kim for being in his life? He is literally the worst dom ever. And who wrote this dialog? "Are you trying to get me drunk because you've fallen for me?" What? Why not "Do you like penguins because there's a drought in Spain?" And how did they make a bottle of the famous Cabernet-Syrah wine last 16 hours? We should invest in the company that makes the shower pipes for that resort.
Even when he's chewing the scenery, Danai is so f@#$ing sexy.
The problem with this series is that Kamol and Kim are so deathly boring that they drag down the insanity of the rest of what's going on. I wish Danai & Khom were the main couple.
The way they compared liking violence in bed to bdsm... Not appreciated.As if it isn't stigmatised enough, the…
It doesnt have nothing to do with violence, but its not about violence. And it depends on how you define violence. Anyway, i get your point. But this show is so utterly ridiculous that i cant even put that on my top 10. Surely it's behind wearing shoes to bed or not letting your bf using the toilet without a bodyguard but having no problem with him playing with live tigers. Although to be fair that tiger looked barely alive. And don't get me started on water wasting.
Except that Rain told him to stop, not one but 3 times! And Phayu didn't stop by himself, Rain had to push him…
Thinking about it, you're probably right. I keep forgettting that there are very young people watching - but for the most part, if you're a BL fan, you're probably a lot less likely than average to belong to one of the groups you mentioned.
But again, my issue isn't discussing moral questions, it's when people can't forgive characters for doing something wrong. Nobody gets through life without making mistakes that hurt people, and anyone who doesn't make mistakes is probably a bad person (because everyone DOES make mistakes, and if you think you don't, you're delusional, narcissistic, or psychopathic).
There are things you can do that are unforgivable, like murder or rape, but not being able to decide if you like guys or not and having a girlfriend in the meantime is not one of those, and BL audiences are totally intolerant of that, which is really disturbing. If you're only here to get off on boys being cute to each other, than just watch bband videos instead.

Of course - that's what I'm saying. My issue is when the audience refuses to forgive the character. In that case we...
...wait, you've never heard of Darth Vader?
Anyway, those behaviors need to be called out in real people, and they're certainly legitimate topics for conversation, but the judgmentalism you often see here is tiresome. We don't need to "call out" characters' behavior as if ours is perfect. It's a little insulting, as if the rest of us can't tell right from wrong. Where discussion gets interesting is in the grey areas, but there people often get tiresome as well by taking an absolutist view.
For example, Phayu was too aggressive with Rain, but there is some mitigation in that Rain gave him very strong signals. You shouldn't need "stop" said 3 times, but Phayu did stop before he did anything. So not great, not terrible.
He fainted because he attempted to run, after about three steps. You can't get much more helpless.
