The new trailer looks mixed to me. There are a couple of nice things, like quite a few darker actors, and it looked a little less tropey than the previous one, plus one of the mains is only OK looking, so maybe they actually hired someone for acting ability for once.
Maybe it's just a cultural difference, but I didn't see anything particularly great-looking about the musician guy the girls were all squealing over, but that would actually be a good thing - if you remember school, being a musican could elevate a guy who wasn't good-looking to "hot" - it's hard to look bad with a guitar (if you can play it). Sadly, a piano doesn't have quite the same effect.
Age gap is very rare in BL - the only one I can think of is History4, and you know what people thought of that!
There were a lot of age gap complaints at first until they were drowned out by "that other thing". Once an audience turns on someone, there's no coming back for them, anything they do is magified, like characters who are liked are excused for equally bad things.
Watch it with subs. It's really important - there's something you can't possibly get from without them. You only…
Yes - the one with shorter hair is at it non-stop. I think there's problem here - if it' what it seems, they can't really be together. I'm guessing their somehow step or one of them is adopted.
Little-known fact: 95% of Thais die by being run over by a truck. The other 5% die of fatal illnesses they contract for not immediately drying their hair after it gets wet. However, most such people are healed by being dabbed with a damp washcloth.
Minor criticism: Too much makeup on the guys. Other minor criticism: Way too much product placement. The shower soap I was fine with. The others were making me lol they were so unsubtle. The subtitles are from the So Much In Love school of English. I hope this doesn't descend into an endless string of unnecessary flashbacks. I'm getting tired of the accidental face too close and stare trick. Really getting old to the point of being comedy.
OK, the good. Everything else. The acting was fairly solid, the characters are interesting, and FINALLY a serious trans character. I love the thug's body - naturally muscular and athletic without the perfect sculpting we usually get - so much sexier. I hope he's not going to wear his hair up like that throughout. Is that a thing now? I thought that thing was over, but it's seems to be all over the place. I hope it's not a thing.
The production quality isn't perfect, but it's pretty good for a low-budget series like this - more than good enough. I think this is a definite keeper so far. And best of all, not one f#$%ing engineer. I hope. We don't know what their major were, but Than's seems to be tax law.
They should have left that horrible old woman to die. She didn't even thank him for saving her. She's going to be big trouble.
Yes, but it would be nice if occassionally the seme was not bisexual. 99.9% of them are explicitly not gay. Actually it would be nice if there was no seme/uke and just two guys.
lol If you want a new uniform style you can watch Y Destiny... but my big question is "why they have uniforms…
Not to mention the Korean schoolboy haircut with the bangs covering their entire foreheads. Kao from Oxygen looked like a boy (except in the wet t-shirt & no t-shirt scenes), but in Nitiman he looks at least 10 years older.
In my opinion, the reason many people say this is because of the cinematography, editing, and direction. In many…
You're watching different shows then I am, because almost every BL I've seen is practically Victorian in their total lack of sexualization. What series are you thinking of? Even in Tharntype the two sex scenes were sudden and came out of nowhere.
Do you mean the ubiquitous trip/fall/stare move that every BL does (including 2gether)? That's sitcom, not sexual.
It has nothing to do with whether or not there was sex or kissing - in fact it's getting tiresome that people…
Yes, but it's part physical attraction. Even when you love someone for their inner beauty, you still want to be near them and touch them. We need touch as a species - it releases dopamine and is important to your well-being. It's not necessarily about sex - affection has to be there, especially at the beginning of a relationship. The initial passion cools (fortunately, or we'd all die of exhaustion) and then sitting around listening to music and talking 2gether makes sense. And it's not even just touching - there's body language. Earth was playing a way more stolid and repressed character in 1,000 Stars, but you knew every single minute they were on screen together that Chief was in love with Tian. I never felt that for a minute with Sarawat and Tine. Also, wanting to grab boobs isn't exactly the strongest indicator of same-sex interest for men - it's what straight guys want to do to women, so it was yet another element of heteronormativity stuffed into a show that was already overflowing with it.
What BLs do terribly is flirting. The flirting is about as subtle as the pizza delivery guy in a porn movie. I find myself repulsed by a lot of it - like "eww". I suspect most BL writers have never flirted or been flirted with. And maybe watch too much porn.
OK, I have to admit the ending surprised me. I should have seen it coming, but I didn't.
I'm finding myself skipping over a lot. I don't watch the high school kids, especially since they don't subtitle the texting, but they're irrelevant to the story. Ditto Newyear and Both, and double-ditto the copy boys. The kid is profoundly annoying. I'm guessing that most BL writers have never flirted or been flirted to, because it's always as subtle as a locomotive. Nobody would enjoy that- "eww" is the only reaction. Y-Destiny does that a lot too.
Why are the choices always 12-year old Victorian maidens with consumption or coming on stronger than a porn character?
Speaking of subtle, can we get rid of the sexual harassment? That character should be fired immediately as a serious legal liability to the company. Do they think characters like that are funny or something instead of incredibly insulting, homophobic, and misogynist?
Anyway, I do really like Simai and Lukmo, and I like Mai & Phob, but that needs to move along now - it's getting tiresome.
Watching it without sub it was depressing, asspecially the end, with the father enter the room and Aof thing didn't…
Watch it with subs. It's really important - there's something you can't possibly get from without them. You only need to watch the full bedroom scene, although the apology in the office was cute.
Nothing else really happened except for some egregious sexual harassment and sulking. And they didn't subtitle any of the text messaging, so that whole storyline was pointless.
OK, I have to admit there were two totally adorable moments in this - Jin turning his head so Bbomb wouldn't see his giddy smile, and when he was scooting closer in bed.
I love Boss as a villain.
There was way too much of the fundashi this ep, and it spoiled it for me. I was right there with the fuoshi when she suggested he take his seat on the tires.
I don't see how they're going to get the secondary couples resolved in 5 eps since none of them have even started. Why did they bother to put Kaownah and Turbo in this? They serve no purpose whatsoever. I'm not even sure who are the couples other than Keam/Ball.
What's Mark's deal? Is he that upset that Oxygen got cancelled, lol? The villainous role suits him well actually
I love Boss so much. And you're right, he's a great villain. The Korean schoolboy haircut he had in Oxygen made him adorable, but he's actually really handsome, and the range of emotion so subtly displayed on that one close up of his face was really impressive.
I agree that the flow is a messed. It’s a fault from the screenwriter and director, this is their first bl.…
But all novels have the inner thoughts of characters - that's why I think novels are bad choices to adapt to live action. An actor has to be able to convey thoughts visually. You saw 1,000 Stars, right? Earth was subtle, but you always knew what he was thinking because the acting was awesome. Phuwin can do it too - they just need to trust him! When you have someone speak their thought instead of act them, it weakens the impact.
If I say "I'm lonely", you might think "aw, poor guy". If I'm staring out the window at people having a great time together (with a sad song in the background) and sigh sadly, you'll feel the loneliness. But not with the song All By Myself playing - that's so OTT that it becomes funny/sad.
Pi always seemed insecure to me, even among other nerds. He had no friends and no life outside of studying and…
He certainly can be both those things, but he can't cease to be one for the whole series and then suddenly pick it up. If he doesn't feel worthy of Mork, then why is he with him at all? That insecurity is certainly a believable reason for him to not want to be Mork, but now that he is, why would he not want people to know? He already knows he and Mork are an extremely popular couple - so it really doesn't make sense. And I've been told this wasn't in the source material but was added by the writers for the series - and it shows.
The reason he didn't want Mork has consistently and solely been presented as that he wants Mueang Nan, and even after MN explained it to him, he still saw Mork as a rival. We are constantly hearing his thoughts (because the screenplay is terrible), and he's never had the thought "I'm not worthy of Mork". This ep is the first time we've heard this or even had it suggested in any way. This is manufactured drama for Ep 11, per the formula.
