Sorry, right. I was wondering why I couldn't find it. What you say is true - but that was such a beautiful moment, and it took a lot of props, so I thought it might show up.

Apparently. I'm all for hiring LGBTQ+ actors for LQBTQ+ roles, but this is just marketing for their monetization of their love, and an attempt (which worked, so maybe my criticism is misplaced) to attract viewers to this series by leveraging their fanbase. There' s nothing wrong with wanting to see a series because you like the actors - we all do it, but they're not actors and they're not acting. Sorry. I might be in a bad mood or something. :)

True - but I'm burnout on BL and cutting loose the shows that are just formulaic rehash that aren't enjoyable to watch. When a leisure outlet starts to feel like work, then it's time to find something else to do.

That was very difficult to get through. First, it sufferes from terrible "tell, don't show". Characters almost invariably tell the audience what they're thinking instead of just acting. For example, Andrei comes home and had stilted dialogue with his dad then goes inside. His dad says to himself, "My handsome son is studying, which makes me happy." He could just smile proudly instead of speaking such a weird and unnatural line. The whole ep is like that.

Sef is supposed to be the bad boy picking on Andrei, but he's just a little cocky and Andrei is really harsh and rude to him, so that dynamic is off. Also, the writers have a strange idea of what a "cool kid" is. Marching around like idiot posers is silly, not cool.

Again, trans characters are there only to be comic relief and behave like coked-up drag-queens rather than people.

I want to support small independent productions, but this is unwatchable. There is nothing original in it, the acting is poor, the writing downright bad, it's technically weak, although the cinematography isn't bad, and it's boring.

I love this series - so well written and acted. Especially given the limited setting, the cinematography is great. I could do without the BL-trope "triple-take" wheneve anything emotionally important happens (like the handshake) which is cheesy beyond belief and destroys the impact of the moment, but that overhead shot of them lying in the living room was beautiful.

Of oourse the subtitler is aided somewhat by 75% of the dialogue being in English, but it is extra smooth nevertheless. :) This series deserves a lot higher than a 7.7. I love watching Dran gradually chip away John's wall. Although John's not easy to understand as there's no chance I'd be able to keep my hands off Iyo for 14 days. Probabably not even 14 minutes. Or seconds.

Yes - it's a "slice-of-life" that's cute in a vlog - but a BL is a drama that needs to have, well, drama and plot. It's nice to see characters interact naturally for a minute here and there, but that's part of setting the scene and characterization and serves a purpose. There are already four thousand characters in this series so there's not a lot of time to spent on two that do nothing except do cutesy things together, which is not very cute when obviously scripted.

I find it weird if they grew up together, but if they just met I don't see what's any different than any other two people meeting. Although in this case I'll grant it's pretty weird and dark because Simai is under the impression that Lukmo is blood-related.

What you're describing is a "casting call". "Casting" just means selecting actors to match the roles, for example, not a 27-year old playing a high school kid. If they had a desire to feature a specific popular pair, there are literally thousands of scripts they could have written that didn't involve high school kids, but the mainstream Thai BL industry is so mired in mindless formulaicism that nobody has the imagination to venture beyond the same old story recycled endlessly.

Also, I didn't realize you represent what the entire fandom wants, but it must be big burden for you to have to take on that responsibility. You might use your telepathic connection with them to explain what "burnout" is and how a genre can get killed off by losing all it's energy to repeating itself until everyone loses interest. Judging by the declining ratings, that's already happening.

This episode we even got to watch them playing games on their phones. They didn't even show the games, just had them describing what they're doing. WTF?!? Who thought that was a good idea? I was half-expecting a following scene where they did their launndry and folded their socks.

If they're going to just fill time, then have Boss take a long shower. Either Boss is fine. Actually, both Bosses taking a shower together would be ideal.

Not the on in the last ep - in an earlier trailer Mork & Pi are talking near the central atrium and at the right moment a whole bunch of balloons float up the shaft.

Oh - OK, I get it. I just assumed they're not really blood brothers because one of them (probably Simai) is adopted. I think Simai is not really thinking it through because he's so in love, but it is a bit weird that it doesn't seem to have sunk in to him that he's in love with someone he believes to be his half-brother.

There's also a thing called "casting".

That's putting it much better than I did. That's exactly what I mean.

Sorry, my question was too brief. I did watch it, and I don't understand what they did that ruined the show for you. It's starting to ruin the show for me that everyone wears sweaters every day in a country where it's very hot and humid all year, but other than that I'm OK with it.

I'm dubious, but we'll see if they can pull it off.

OK, I'll bear with it. :) In scenes where he's wet and his forehead is visible he's really, really attractive, but that haircut...

You know how Facebook exists for people to present their lives in the most positive light possible to make other people feel bad about their own lives? They're basically a FB post. What is the point of their characters? It's like their promoting a brand rather than serving any dramatic purpose and so self-consciously cutesy that it's revolting to me.

Can someone explain all the sweaters? Are they not in Thailand? Where it's 40 degrees every day? Maybe the a/c is turned up too high in the office or something.
