Really Vee? Really?! After 4.5 episodes, you realized that? Don't get me wrong, I like the couple equally. They…
I took it as Vee and Dome didn't really understand or admit to themselves what they were feeling - that's not really cheating, but now that they've acknowledged this it would be cheating, so it would be difficult to accept if they did anything before Dome dumps Vee's sister. TBH it's still not cool - dumping your girlfriend for her brother - sounds like a gay porn plotline. But love and all that.
Oh, for God's sake! Does Thailand produce nothing but refreshing drinks and snacks? Or are the owners of the refreshing drink and snack companies all fujoshi? The product placement was totally out of control this episode - like seriously distracting and annoying. "I've heard it has collagen in it!" Why the hell would I want collagen in my drink?
I'll be honest, VeeDome is what's holding my interest here. Those two are on fire. That one shot where Dome was at the railing - even at that distance you could feel the heat. The other couples don't do much for me.
I think a problem with this series is that they're trying to have it both ways: internalized homophobia but broad acceptance and encouragement from everyone, even themselves when it's someone else. You either have to have a fantasy world like in Brothers where ALL boys pursue other boys, or a more realistic setting, otherwise it doesn't ring true. Aii & Saen are cute, but they don't tonally match the other two couples, and in comparison make all the others seem like idiots or morally questionable.
Vee & Dome don't truly seem to understand their feelings, which is very typical in a homophobic society where you have no context to frame what you're feeling - you can only see it as very close friendship with someone you want to be around all the time. But in the homophilic society that this appears to be, they just seem like cheaters, and I don't think that's the intention. I really understand their story because I lived it (except with the sister thing).
Likewise, Why are Thorn and Fah so afraid to tell each other how they feel? If they were repressed, I would understand, but here it makes no sense - their friends would be pushing them together like Fah himself did with Saen and Aii.
This is one of the few BLs where the main couple is intersting but I wish everyone else would go away.
Peat and King are also interesting, but they have no screentime and their story doesn't integrate with the main characters.
I like Non, but he serves no purpose other than to make us feel sorry for him - why do they have to torture him every ep? Suffering unrequited love is a thing we all face, so the realism is good, but this is a romantic fantasy, so Non needs some love - but it would have to be a new character. Another new character. Sigh.
It's too late in the story to introduce Valen's father. This is essentially Ep 10 of 12. I don't even really remember who that profoundly annoying person who interrupted Valen & Khaitoon is, but that scene was excruciating. And who the hell are June and Toy, and why are they chewing up screentime? And what was with the Panggo paint scene? What was the purpose of that? I barely remember her. I presume Khaitoon will wander in and misunderstand, thus ruining whatever is unique and special about them by reducing this to the most tired cliche imaginable.
This story is a huge mess. I don't understand why they introduced so many new elements - why not just concentrate on the main pair and more on Peat and King?
But I do like Valen & Khaitoon - their interaction is very real and believable, with Valen being romantically clueless and immature. Pak is so cute.
I don't think this was promoted very well - there was a preview months and months ago, but I didn't see anything…
There are four actors in the cast that would have attracted a large audience - Gawin, Fluke, JJ, and Jimmy (although to be fair this was cast before BB aired) - but again, unknowns are used for the main roles. There must be a strong financial reason for this as it doesn't seem to make any other sense, certainly not artistic.
The leads in this series are doing a good job, but they're new to BL audiences.
How many people live in Leo's house? The bathroom line in the morning must be terrible.
This is actually pretty good - I had very low expectations. The main actors are charming and are fun to watch together - they also seem good at improv, as I doubt it was on purpose when Akk had trouble fastening his seatbelt.
Gawin looks a lot hotter in Not Me, but the rougher style there suits him.
I wish this had had Bruce in it from the beginning.
Anyway, that was much better than last week - but it does underscore how necessary Phap is to the story - it feels a bit limp without him. I don't think the episode was incoherent, but it needed a bit of editing - scenes were dragging too long and it reduces the energy.
I'm glad that they returned to the violence and there were consequences.
I'm not sure how they can resolve this in a single episode - maybe there will be a season 2?
was thinking about the uncut version and whether it is worth subscribing to see it.. thanks for letting me know!…
In the Recent Discussions" section above I summarize the scenes. I didn't do it fir Ep 2, but I did Ep1 and I'll try to do the rest.
The cuts generally aren't too importat too the plot, but ithe deleted sections are often shown in the previews and 'recaps, which prompted me to do this.
Finally we're getting what we've all been waiting for - a high school/university basketball series. I love the…
But this one is special - it features an entire cast that has no acting experience. So I think we can safeley harbor high expectations for the second draft of Our Sky with actors that don't have any ingrained bad acting habits.
"4) and a vampire can instantly sense them (but apparently only if they touch his blood, since he sat bahind him…
Oh, OK, then I withdraw point 4. :)
I'm fine with the low budget - sometimes it's better because it forces the production to be creative. It's really the writing that's a problem for me - when a story is only 80 minutes long, there's no time to waste on exposition, especially if it's unimportant - we're not blind - we can see his eyes turn blue when using his vampire powers, so why tell us? Plus, you remember an image (blue eyes), but might forget something told in passing (have to touch the blood).
I don't think writing gets better when you throw more money at it, it gets better when you get better writers. The rest I can forgive - lighting & editing are expensive, etc.
The budget for this is probably as high or higher than Where Your Eyes Linger, which I thought was one of the better BLs ever made, so it can be done.
Yeah, I never watch something illegally unless there's no choice or it's terrible like Gen Y. I'm not paying for that. I hope at some point everyone consolidates on one or two platforms though.

The cast of this is really good, and I was pleasantly surprised with how enjoyable the series is. Evil doctor boy is so cute!
