Many, myself included, wouldn't even put this in the "BL" category at all. I also wonder if it's to early to say…
I suppose that's fair - a fantasy element is kind of a must-have in BL.

That wasn't Deuan - for some reason they gave him the same hairstyle and cast an actor that looks similar. I had…
Yes, he's definitely not handling this well. He should step back, let Mueang Nan definitely shoot Pi down, then wait for Pi to come to him - he could just be present as a friend and everything would go his way relatively quickly.

But he's a 20-year old man in love, and they're not really known for being wise in these types of situations.

We don't know Mork is the online friend. The friend is played by Pond because that's who Pi is imagining it is.…
Yes, I was wrong about that - I thought I saw him texting to Pi using his own name - by then I'd stopped paying close attention to anything because nothing whatsoever happened this ep (except with Duean & Meen).

Well, for one thing he destroyed two $1000 phones (and a package of hand-wipes), which is excessive - also, he didn't address them in civil terms, which is fairly rude in Thai. Like I said, I don't blame him given the provocation, but there's nothing wrong with Mork commenting on it. It is very possible to express something strongly yet politely.

Mork hasn't played the girlfriend game yet - he was surprised by what she was doing and didn't do anything. If he lets it continue, then he's doing something wrong.

What is the pattern of problemmatic behavior? He's pursuing his romantic interest. What do you want him to do? Issue one invitation and then never bring it up again? First of all, the human race would die out because nobody would ever get together again, and second all these series would last one ep max with an unsatisfying ending.

He was wrong to do the interview, he apoloiized to Pi. That's it. When Pi told him the page bothered him, he went with him to ask the fujoshis to delete it. It doesn't matter if he would have preferred it not be deleted, because he did what Pi wanted.

I'm glad that's starting to change - I'm getting tired of watching obviously straight guys playing sort-of-gay-but-not-really characters.

You don't remember there being anything dumb about college?

Thats true - you have to give allowances for the comedy. Good point.

I'm sorry but your idea of "being in love" is a little bit problematic. And, yes, that was Duen - you can see…
OK, if you want someone, what should you do? Nothing? How is Pond problemmatic? Other than the interview that he apologized for, what has he done wrong? Is he not allowed to pursue someone he's in love with that has not shot him down (until this ep)?

Everyone around here seems to think anything but a series of very gradually escalating requests to spend time together followed by several years of slow-burn dating leading to marriage, after which a notarized consent document is required to proceed to any progressive step of the sexual process (although no sex beyond a chaste kiss and spooning is preferred) is toxic sexual assault/rape.

The human race is doomed. Your generation is never going to get to the point of procreating, although I suppose there's some hope that we'll be able to multiply though cloning before we become extinct. I would say test-tube babies, but that would require sexual stimulation of the male, or at least insertion of something into him, which would require notartized consent documents for each step of the process (or it's rape), so we'd be back to square one.

I agree. There is definitely going to be a plot twist and I think it will include Seph. I was surprised with Pre…
I get the impression from your remarks that it's better than Amore.
On Inn Love May 29, 2021
Title Inn Love
Alex is so rude - not just to VJ, but also a service person, which I think is really low-class and a sign of a a bad person. I wish the enemies to lovers trope had used something like VJ dining Alex's car rather than homophobia as the thing that set them off to a bad start - it will be hard for viewers to accept Alex after that.

VJ came off as pathetic, oggling every attractive man in visual range - not just glancing, but staring at their chests while talking to them. The acting was very good, but the main charaters are so unappealing that I was hoping they were just side characters or villains that we're supposed to dislike. The technical aspects were much better than most productions like this. Roosters continue to be prominent - I don't know if their crowing is deliberately put in for some good luck thing or there are actually THAT many roosters everywhere, but I'm starting to get used to it.

Reasons why I'm sticking around for upcoming episodes:• Both• Newyear• Cuteness overload• Lukmo being…
Your last point was almost a dealkiller for me, but it wasn't as bad as usual, i.e. she didn't actually physically molest anyone, so progress. Also, there are so many actually gay actors in this I feel like I should support it. But if they don't lay off the bad trans rep I'm out.

I actually wish Both & Newyear weren't in this - they serve no purpose to the story, which is a big enough jumble as it is. They should get a series where they're not just playing themselves.

I'm becoming obsessed with Aof. How is it possible that anyone can be THAT cute? This is another case where I feel like I should kick a puppy or something every time he appears on screen to preserve the balance of the universe. The cuteness in general on this show is way off all known scales of measure.

Wait, why isn't it a BL? Because it's not formulaic and mediocre?

To me, this has just become a basic "meh" show. I'll keep watching as they come out, but if I miss one or two…
The only reason I'm watching this is because I like looking at Pond, and I like Duean and Meen. Also, Phuwin looked surprisingly good in his shower scene.

How different is the series and the novel?
I haven't read the novel so I can't evaluate the changes like you can - but in my experience changes for the sake of humor or 99.9% not good. Especially Thai humor, which is slapstick and cartoonish rather than situational.

That's actually a very sensible plan - and it's definitely a good idea to wait out COVID.

are you dumb or something
If 'dumb' is knowing what punctuation is for, then yes.

I don't know if it's intentional, but "I Promisted You the Moon" has an ominous tint to it. It is a lovely title,…
True - but ITSAY is ambiguous, whereas IPYTM is unambiguously negative. It's always about disappointment or unfulfilled intentions.

Of course, whoever chose the title might not have known it means that - the Thai title is totally different. [Something Bland] Part 2 I think.

It's very conventional, the cinematography is good but not pure art, the characterization of both mains is off, inconsistent, and unprepared. The writing & dialog are fine, but uninteresting. It just doesn't have the same life and inspiration that ITSAY had, even with the faster pace.

Teh is weird. That's one of the best things about his character - but he's not in this, he's just... ordinary.

They should have just started a new story with new characters.
