Why dos Tee look so much hotter in this than he does in Teddy Bear? He's 27 so the time between filming shouldn't make that much differnce. He's cute in Teddy Bear, but I want him to throw me down and @#*& the bej@$&$ out of me in Triage.

I liked Tae's character in Paint With Love a lot, but I think I prefer him clean-cut like in this. Anyway, I thought this was really good and interesting, And I love the two leads and the support cast. The head doctor must be very busy - moonlighting as a police inspector and all that.

I certainly liked Young Royals, so I'll give it a shot.

I did like the accidental kiss in Love Stage because it sent blood and teeth flying everywhere which is what would actually happen, so they get point for that.

Guys, Amber can't be the reincarnation of Wenwen - she left 10 years ago, so even if she died in the car ride away Amber could only be 10. Also, you could see Ambers lovely torso - no scars. It wouldn't necessarily have left any for transition.

And I see this was written by someone who's never been drunk again. And I'm starting to get impatient with episodes where nothng happens.

That's ompossible - that would mean Amber can only be 10 years old. Definitely trans.

OK, that's a good idea. But are they going to stop with the food? Good God - 99% of this is eating, and Win eats like a pig!

In Asian BL, the pairs are all composed of a seme (the top, who is always taller, almost always older, more masculine, and the "provider") and an uke (the bottom, delicate and largely useless, who can't accomplish anything without a seme to take care of him). Ukes and semes fall in love when the uke, who is unable walk as well as a 5-year old child, trips and falls and the seme catches him and they stare at each other for an implausibly long period of time. A variation on this is if they don't initially like each other, the fall will result in an accidetal kiss. Essentially, the uke is a 19th c Victorian virgin with consumption dropped into a drama set in modern times.

Exactly. So when they check your ID they'll know.

Why do Thai series keep using Christmas carols as background nusuc? It was disracting to hear 'Joy to the World' playing over Mayom & Nueng's conversation.

Heartstopper? I've never even heard of that.

Thruple?

In and Job were fantastic in this episode. In has a touch of 'bad-boy' vibe in real life so this character is really far from his personality. Um has been an acting powerhouse throughtout the series. When you throw experienced actors in with younger ones it elevates everyone's performance. I don't think we've ever had a BL with this quality of acting before. It helps that the writing is so strong - that's certainly a rarity in BL...

This is clearly a very personal story, and people generally don't write those when everything turned out happily ever after. Get ready, everybody. There's a lot of foreshadowing, and it's looking not so happy. The Happy Prince is one of the saddest stories I've ever read - I have a feeling this will top it.

When I was watching that I was thinking if this were real life Porsche would probably let Kinn blow him, but no chance of making out.

That makes sense, but you're still saying I have to read a book to get a full understanding of the series. I don't even have time to watch all the BLs that are on now lt alone read a novel for each one, and the translations of the novels are never good enough to actually enjoy reading - the errors in the subtitles aren't really a big deal because the subtitles are only there so you can understand what you're watching - but in a novel, it's about the quality of the prose. The KP novel starts with a couple of awkward expository paragraphs which are really egregious "tell, don't show" and not a good indicator of quality writing.

Ep 5 - I'm dropping it after the first scene. How many times are we going with the same food joke? I feel like I'm watching the same episode over and over, and this isn't a BL. It probably will be at the very end, but that means I have to watch a girl eating non-stop for 10 eps to get there.

I'm from California and I'd get cold in shorts and a t-shirt, but a sweater or light jacket is all you need for that temperature.

Yes - you can find it on Bilibili. They're not very good, but it's enough to understand what's going on.

You put it much better than I did. People that don't like any of the criticism tend to focus on one critique, like "not enough action". It's of course not just that, it's when you add up lots of issues. The lack of action accompanies overly-expository dialog, fem-phobic portrayal of Thakhun as a pathetic joke instead of a fully-realized character, lack of any dramatic buildup to the kiss, too many ridiculous plot elements, not to mention the deceptive way this was marketed, if it's all going to be like eps 2 & 3.

If it is based on a trashy PWP story, then just make a trashy PWP series. I'd be fine with that. As long as the guy with glasses is heavily featured. But if you want a believable romantic/action/comedy, then stop filling it with nonsense like the entire bodyguard force getting passed-out drunk, quit with all the exposition, and actually show us that there's an attraction between the main couple before you have them go nuts on each other out in public.

It's not lack of action, it's silliness that makes no sense like all the bodyguards getting blasted out of their minds leaving Kinn defenseless just after Kinn and Porsche discuss how there must be an inside connection. And the kiss was so poorly set up that it had no emotional impact - you need to build up to it, not just dump it out of the blue. I'm not going to read an entire novel as prep for understanding a series. If it can't stand on its own it's not a good series.
