I like Tae so much that this series is near the top for me of everything I'm watching. You can't really beat Bad Buddy for couple chemistry, but the plot is so ordinary and formulaic- engineers again. TBH, BB has declined for me while this has grown on me. When I woke up today I had a greater urge to watch Paint WL.

Singto isn't as strong as Tae in acting, but he did a good job in today's episode - I got how lonely and isolated he is, and you could tell he felt bad and went to Phap's to make it up to him - I think that's why he felt so hurt by what Phap said - I don't blame Phap, because he's been fairly patient and understanding about the way Maze is, but Maze went too far in this ep and showed no respect for the creative process, and it's hurtful to be threatened constantly by someone you care about.

I'm looking forward to the Pooky-Phueak smackdown next ep.

I can't figure out why that bothers so many people - usually I can see why something might bother some people even if it doesn't bother me, but not this one. I get that in History 4 it's disturbing because they grew up together, but when it's something like Brothers and they just met, I can't see the objection, especially if the parents are OK with it. It's just two people in love - how can that be bad? I'm not criticising, I'm asking.

"Tetas"? That's not an English word, although it means "tits" in Spanish. I looked it up to see if it means something in any other language. It also means "tits" in Portuguese and "to hatch" in Malay.

I'm glad to have helped. Happy New Year!

That was really good - I enjoy the setting.Eom Se Ung is so cute, and Bum Jun isn't far behind.

Got it. This end of the year BL dump has got me confused - it was a virtual desert just a couple of weeks ago, and now the dams are bursting.

Hmm. Well, most of what's in the lists above should be OK - but dramas can't really have people behaving perfectly or there's no drama. You might be put off by Utsukushii Kare, which I think was one of the best BLs of all time, but it does have some uncomfortable aspects. We Best Love S2 too, and Color Rush has some dark themes. Everything else is mostly cute boys being cute to each other - I find them boring and formulaic, but a lot of people like them.

I think that's it - I hope I didn't forget anything "toxic" in the above lists. If you don't have a problem with stepbrothers who didn't grow up together (i.e. boys suddenly thrown together because their parents married), Brothers has a particularly wholesome interaction between the main couple, where they talk about things and behave very respectfully to each other.

I'm confused. Are they moving 55:15 to that timeslot? It's already half over, isn't it?

I second all these. Utsukushii Kare was my favorite BL of the year.

Well, Punn's final monlogue was about finding the girl in the pink dress, not getting it on with Weir - I don't think that was ambiguous at all. I thought maybe you ff'd through that speech because it was a bit boring.

If I could go back in time and not watch this, I would do it. Of all the stories written, I'm at a loss to explain why this was adapted to a series not once, not twice, but THREE times. Why? It's a mess of a story, there's no romance, and a ton of disturbing child kidnapping, torture, and murder. If you really hate children you might like this - its not often you get to see child corpses in light drama.

If you're going to do this for the third time, there at least needs to be something done to freshen it. Why not put in some BL, since it was cynically cast with actors who would draw a BL audience anyway? Or maybe deemphasize the child murders?

TBH, whoever wrote this is a poor writer. It's tonally inconsistent, like the murder is cartoonishly evil who identifies his/herself (see how I avoided spoiling?) as "the child murderer" - who does that? You can't then turn around and make them a victim who we should feel sorry for. Tonally nothing in this makes sense - it's like the author wanted to write five stories and couldn't choose so she stuffed everything into one.

The only bright spots are Pluem and Lee, who are very charming and delightful to watch. Pluem should be endlessly cast as a male lead - he's very talented and beautiful.

You said "good" BL, so I'm not sure I agree with a lot of the below - particularly all the 2 moons & 2gether stuff, but they're popular so it may be just me. Try I Told Sunset About You, and if you're OK with non-Thai, Gaya Sa Pelikula ("Like In the Movies"). Bad Buddy is good but not over yet - It's been great so far, though. If you get tired of watching the same tropes over and over (like when a guy trips and another guy catches him and they stare at each other for several hours), then watch A Man Who Defied the World of BL, which is a really funny parody.

If you like no BL and lots of very creepy child kidnapping and murder, then yes.

It was just you. Nothing is ever going to happen with those two. Krathing looks like he's going to get some romance, though.

I'm with you on this. There's been no progress on the subbing since yesterday and I'm not going to wait anymore. I'm not sure why I'm paying for Viki if I can't ever watch anything on it.

They obviously can't pay a lot for subbers, but almost everyone who would be willing to do it is likely young and would do it for really cheap. I'm really good about supporting shows by watching them legally, but Viki is the only service that makes you wait this long for subs. I'm canceling my subscription - it's just not worth the money as I only have it for BLs.

Yes. The broadcast was inexplicably censored and the 2 most important scenes in the entire series cut out. Here they are:

Well, that's going to traumatize BL audiences. I really liked it, but there's not a lot of "boy" going on there, but lots of "love". If you are put of by raw male sexuality, you'd better skip this.

It's surreal and nightmarish, with a lot of symbolism and allegory, and it's helpful to have at least a basic background in Christianity, but not necessary.

I like KimCop a lot too, but I want to see the focus on them! If a piano fell on Wayu I wouldn't be bothered - more screentime freed up for our boys. Also, like you point out, they are so funny together, so I hate to see them wasted on the same "don't touch me" routine - they can do way more than that. I would love to see Copter go "full Morticia". Kit not letting Mark touch him because he's pissed off at something I can buy and welcome - but it's a little silly (and uncreative) for him to act like he was in this ep if they're living together.

Jomari is adorable in this and had a nice body. And he can do sexy/sleazy, too, like in BXJF. I think maybe what makes him sort of unappealing in this series is his character acts like he's 12 and his best friend appears to have escaped from a cartoon.

I do get absorbed in ranting and raving from time to time. I'm glad it entertained.
