He's very shy and this whole episode has been humiliating and put him in a spotlight that he hates - I don't think he was being kind so much as wanting it to be over. I'm a fairly extreme introvert, so I get where he's coming from, but I also get cold and ruthless when threatened, so I would crush her.

He's sporty (basketball and wakeboarding) and more outgoing, so basically Lukchup with a few years of confidence-building and less sensitive. So you can cuddle with him, but probably not squeeze him like a stuffed animal, although you can feel up his muscles instead.

I feel like it's saved by how rational and non-stupid the goodguys are. I would have preferred not to have such a heavy villain, but at least the actress is really good.

It's horrendous cyberbullying, with some real bullying. It really upsets Lukchup, but he has a very strong support network, and not just his friends and Ram - his family is more powerful than it appears. Nam may be the most awful villainess in all BL, but I agree, the actress does a really good job. As of Ep 10 it's not over yet, but from the scenes it will resolve in Ep 11.

They really did pull it off - or rather Mick pulls it off.

I think it's very good. The acting is a bit understated, but that's not anything new with Thai BL. Lukchup is as cute as it's possible to be without becoming annoying, and all his interactions are cute, especially with Ram. The seme-uke power imbalance is particularly large in this series, which would normally make me roll my eyes, but they pull it off well.

There is a theme of fairly extreme cyberbullying, and I can't say yet if they've handled it well, but so far it's fine. The evil wannabee girlfriend in this is OTT bad, and I wish she were in it less, but the actress does a really good job.

I would recommend this - it deserves higher than 7.5, and the interaction between the main pair is not based on endless implausible misunderstandings. All the dramatic tension between them is due to their being so different, and it's organic and never feels artificial. I usually don't like cutesy perfect relationships, but this one really works.

I didn't notice it, but I went back, and he sure did! There was even a moment where he had his hand on him.

I think I'm done with this series now. It shouldn't be that hard to watch something, especially on a Saturday. They had way too much of Amy's scheming, which poisoned the atmosphere of the show, there are too many awful people, the same type of conflict over and over between Ahtip and Poon to the point it's clear they are totally incompatible and absoluteley should not try to be in a relationship, and they don't even have any chemistry to compensate. Like zero. How can they when all they do is have fights where they'r trying to hurt each other?

Plus, all the aspects of day-to-day life are so stupid and unrealistic that I just end up sighing all the time. A landlord can't just cancel a lease and give someone 10 days to move out. Nobody in the restaurant business is going to operate without buying ingredients or having nobody cleaning anything. No CEO is going to be in a 5-hour meeting over minor logisitical issues.

There's just nothing pleasant about this series and it feels like punishment to watch it.

It's a pity because it started out well - better than I expected. But it's bogged down in endless and directionless negativity. I really like Peter, and although Hidden Love was kind of bad, it was at least fun and entertaining (and Peter spent a lot of time naked and tied to a chair). This isn't.

And this has the same director as Love With Benefits.

And also Micky and Q - there was a 3-second flash of them togther.

Yaoi started off that way, but has largely moved on - but not in Korea. The message seems to be "no matter how straight he is, if you pursue him hard enough, he'll turn gay for you (and only you)." In real life that's a good way to get beaten to death, but beside that it's totally unnecessary narratively. A lot of Thai series just don't address sexuality at all, which is an OK compromise if producers are that terrified of homosexuality (which makes one wonder if they're in the right business).

My mother has a health alert app which she somehow keeps setting off - once she did it 4 minutes before I had a job interview, so everyone she knows called and texted the rest of the day. Maybe his mother is like mine and sometimes he has to turn his phone off to avoid a murder-suicide.

But I get your point. That was really dickish. On the other hand, Roa is way too intrusive - he doesn't really know Ji Woo and he's being weird. If they were friends, it would be much worse. But he could have just said "I'm fine".

I think it's because almost everyone in this is unpleasant. There are three villains, two of which get way too much screen time, one of the main characters is a dick, and the other main character is a slightly less dickish dick who only gets by because he's so cute.

Athip is the worst boss on the planet - that terrible a manager would have failed a long time ago, and what chef doesn't think about whether or not there are ingredients? And nobody cleans the kitchen? All the crises in this are petty and manufactured. There is no plot, and that makes it not worth it even with my beloved Peter in it.

Also, I haven't gotten over my Gen Y PTSD, so 4 faces from that disaster is too much for my fragile emotional state.

Not the most relaxing BL airing, but the best.

Overall It's still one of my favorite things on - my concern is we're half through now - these adaptations have to make decisions about what to cover, and there's not enough time to rehash things already covered.

If it weren't for the music, which will get your attention on 2x, I might have fallen into a coma.

It would be nice if it had any BL in it at all. So far it's about a guy who likes a girl, a stalker who likes the same girl, a girl who likes her professor, and a guy that may like the first guy, so 95% not BL. The only K-BL I've liked this year was Semantic Error. I think. Well, I shouldn't say that - there may be a series I don't remember anymore.

I just looked up Blueming because @Coral Peretz mentioned it below. I've seen it, because I wrote a review, but I can't remember the series. I remember thinking that spelling it that way doesn't say BLOOming, it says Blue MING, so I think of a Chinese bureaucrat in a blue outfit. Or a vase. Ming vases are usually blue.

For me, it was marketed as a BL, and now it's a third over it isn't a BL, plus there is a serious topic thrown in that can't be adequately handled in 4 more 20-min epsiode unless it's the entirety of the story. So either a serious subject will be handled poorly, or it will be handled OK, but as it's about a woman, not BL, so not what I was sold. 8.1 is too high for this. 7.7 was about right.

This was marketed as a BL. This is 95% straight romance at 5% of a guy possibly liking another guy.

I'm not sure what that was - it seemed more symbolic than real. It didn't really change how I saw the series.
