I really like Khaotung, but he's badly miscast as a bad boy. He's great as a sweet and sensitive person, but he's so unconvincing as a troublemaker that it's LOL bad, although he's good at everything else. They should have put Neo in the role - he's a natural.
There are a lot of good things about the production, but the dialogue is really bad. "But the only goal I have..." [ominous drumroll] "... is knowing when you'll start eating." "And why are you eating BBQ pork in my room?" Wouldn't somone comment on that when the perpetrator walked into the room with a bag of pork and a grill, rather than waiting until it was cooked? So much of the dialog is like that, trying to be funny but making no sense.
Doesn't Leo get irritated that there are so many people running around his house?
I got theough 6 minutes and had to stop because Earth is so annoying I was filling with rage. Does it get better? If you tell me it gets better, I can coninue,
It's not just his whiny, whiny voice, but what he was whining about. A teenage boy is not going to be concerned that a friend is eating too fast or has his shirt untucked. In fact your mother won't either (unless you're the first child. She will yell at you for talking with your mouth full, though.)
Santa is a natural - very charismatic, but he's 18, so I assume this will go under the "uke thinks a kiss on the cheek is heavy BDSM" category.
First ep was just okay for me. I'm beginning to hate the enemy to lovers trope because so often they make one…
He flicked water on him and then teased Q because he turned around to confront him head on with his wee-wee exposed - I think nearly 100% of guys would have teased him. Or at least the ones that didn't have a gay panic. X was a jerk in this scene, but really mild by BL standards.
Also, a lot of people are reacting to him as if Q's responses are rational or reasonable. X helped him look good at his audiiton, went out of his way to drive Q home, and I don't think being polite to somone's mother is "manipulation" - it's good manners. So the question is, is X being an asshole, or is Q overreacting to everything in an immature way? A little of both. Someone flicking a few drops of water at you isn't really merciless bullying, and that's really the only unprovoked thing X did to Q. Most people would laugh it off or flick back, not act like X is Hitler invading Poland.
So this is a BDSM drama, but Kim thinks it's perverted to shower with his bf, and he finds it scandalous that Kamol gives him a peck on the cheek before work - so I guess that means my grandparents were into hardcore BDSM, because I saw them hug once.
That was rally boring, which it shouldn' have been for such a short episode. This story is going in circles now, and given there are 5 more episodes, it's hard to imagine that improving.
I really like the message convey by this drama and the way it is conveyed by the story and the actors. I think…
The judgmentalism of a lot of the audience here is revolting. There's nothing wrong wih an 18 year old being with a 28 year old. I'm really getting sick of the puritanical attitudes around here - gay men are being fethishized - people want boys being cute to boys, and expressions of sexuality are unwelcome - when characters have sex, it's condemned as as gratuitous. News flassh: sex is a component of adult relationships. If the BL audience is the new norm, the human race is doomed to extincion, because you can't reproduce by holding hands or with a bloodless peck on the lips.
No worries, as far as I know they have a 10-year gap in the series (17 years old and 27 years old). In a way this…
Grooming? Have you been watching a different show that I have? Shin has been pursing an unwilling Minato, who is not comforable dating someone younger. Your attitude about age gaps is really judgmental, and your reasoning sounds intellectually dishonest. Nobody is talking about dating a 13-year old, so why did you even mention that?. It's an 18 year old, which is a totally different thing. You're using the type of argument that homophobes use against LGBTQ+ rights. And what is "late in life"? So you think a 10 year age gap is only OK for an 80 year old?
As for dealing with creepy men, welcome to Planet Earth. You should consider moving to Mars, because there are creepy people to deal with in the real world at all ages. There are also good and loving people at all ages. I'm lucky my first time was with someone older, and it's grotesque that you're painting it as something sick.
And what difference does it make if it's 20 & 30 vs 18 & 28? You're drawing a strange arbitrary line. Shin is an adult and he knows exactly what he wants. He's better off with a older man who will treat him well than being with an 18-year old who only wants him for sex.
I think the series would have been better if it weren't a dream and they ended up having sex at that point. But…
Also to be fair, X wouldn't have expected Q to turn and confront him with his penis still hanging out, so he was absolutely going to get teased in any culture or age group that's ever existed.
I think the series would have been better if it weren't a dream and they ended up having sex at that point. But…
I agree with you. They couldn't do it because BL audiences only allow characters to have sex with one other human being for their entire life, and it's preferable if he can restrain himself to sniff-kissing and cuddling his true love instead of engaging in freaky pornographic behavior like offscreen monogamous sex. Sorry, I'm in a bitchy mood these days. but after listning to the complaints about all the brutal bullying in 21 Day Theory (He flicked water at him after washing his hands and then pressured him into accpying a ride home and then was so sweet and polite to his mother that she invited him for dinner. The villain!), my tolerance for the Victorian antics of a portion of the audience has worn thin.
Rain has likely been pent up for his entire life since puberty, probably in a nearly perpetual state of... excitement, given he sleeps in Phayoo's ben every night - and then there's a kind and sexy guy with a hot body that wants to help out - if they wanted to insert some realism into at least one character, this was a missed opportunity for that and for some organic drama instead of the inevitable implausible misundersandings and plotting of evil girls.
Or at least his dream could have lasted a bit longer.
Yup broken air conditioning troop should be used more often if we get this result - but like 5 seconds in i just…
I must say that as much as I rant and rave about tropes, I can't think of a single case where the broken a/c trope has ever caused me any discomfort (except in my pants).
OK, that Shun knows how to dream. Because Rain told him to stop, I was fooled, and then when they continued I couldn't think anything at all. That was fire - that was one of the first times in a Thai BL where I really felt like I was watching guys doing it for real.
The main couple has zero chemistry - what is going on there? I think maybe they were saved a bit in Until We Meet Again becausee the plot actually mattered. But I was frankly bored by them in that, too, it just wasn't quite the nil that they are in this.
Who has a string ensemble play at a rugby game? That's iike having a marching band perform at the Met Gala. These types of things will probably stick out to me more than other people because I actually have a music degree (unfortunately, I didn't have Rain & Kim's parents and mine let me do that) - but couldn't they have just grabbed a cellist from a local university and not played he cello part on a really cheap synthesizer?
I find myself +10 seconding through everything but Rain & Phayoo - I thought Noh was dull as cardboard in Nitiman, but he is fantastic in this, and Peterpan is not far behind., and the man is just beautiful.
Another episode more disappointment. Highlight of th episode was the non verbal communication by Payoo and Rain.…
Like in Oxygen with Phu, who was even colder, but the actor managed to show us his repressed longing. And another series where I would probably not have even noticed if the main pair died.
The first ep was dreary. Was Khim happy or comatose? It's impossible to tell with Ohm. How did he win the cello competition without anyone playing the cello? The main couple does noething for me. Fluke is adorable, but his acting is about as subtle as a tmac ruck crashing through a china shop.
Big surprise of the ep: Noh. I thought he was in the Ohm school of acting after Nitiman, but he managed to generate some serious heat in 10 seconds with the servant. He has a strong/vulnerable vibe that's engaging.
The dialog was weird and artificial - I don't know if it's supposed to be that way, but it didn't make any sense. "Your broher made a lot of mistakes and his fingers couldn't keep up with his heart. But Ioved it and you're a genius." That's not how playing the cello works. It's also a weird and creepy thing to say to someone just after they performed. Also, how did Sun imagine that coat would dry in a few minutes? In a humid climate like that it would dry never. At least not for hours. Everything was like that.
There are a lot of good things about the production, but the dialogue is really bad. "But the only goal I have..." [ominous drumroll] "... is knowing when you'll start eating." "And why are you eating BBQ pork in my room?" Wouldn't somone comment on that when the perpetrator walked into the room with a bag of pork and a grill, rather than waiting until it was cooked?

Santa is a natural - very charismatic, but he's 18, so I assume this will go under the "uke thinks a kiss on the cheek is heavy BDSM" category.

As a general comment, this is a visual medium, so it's a bit of a fail if half the plot is in written form.
Rain has likely been pent up for his entire life since puberty, probably in a nearly perpetual state of... excitement, given he sleeps in Phayoo's ben every night - and then there's a kind and sexy guy with a hot body that wants to help out - if they wanted to insert some realism into at least one character, this was a missed opportunity for that and for some organic drama instead of the inevitable implausible misundersandings and plotting of evil girls.
