From the parents' perpective, all of them having boyfriends will make such distinctions meaningless.

I think you have the right idea. Other than that, it was a decent episode - this show is cuteness overload.

Part 4 didn't make much sense to me - why did Pi come to THAT conclusion? It didn't really follow.

I have two brothers, so my being gay wasn't too hard on the parents, even though I'm the oldest - but I think they would have died if ALL THREE sons where gay. Only in Thai BL.

Also, Phuwin's body - has he always been built like that? I was taken off guard there.

I'm having difficulty getting through this - I'm taking a break after sitting through that excrusciating sexual harassment scene. Is that supposed to be funny, having a trans character be a totally pathetci predator? When is this ever going to stop?

One of these days there's going to a trans uprising and they're going to burn down all these studios making this crap. Can we retire this trope please?

Kaleb Ong is strangely sexy.

This was good, but the music is way too loud - it completely drowns everything out.

The subs are there now.

Translators can work from home, though. There may be some other problem, but in any case, GMMTV is so good about prompt translations in general that I can forgive the occassional lapse.

You didn't upset anyone - I think Flypside is always at least mildly irritated. :)

A lot of people are grouping together a lot of different issues. Fanservice itself is OK - it's part of the entertainment business everywhere, and the actors get paid well for it (much better than they do for the actual acting). Personally I think it's weird and mildly creepy that fans want two straight guys to pretend they're gay for each other (most but not all of them are straight).

Actors everywhere have always been vulnerable to sexual harassment - even in the USA this issue has only recently been addressed in a serious way with the Me Too movement, and in the case of BL, actors are under a lot of pressure to present a certain public persona which limits their ability to have healthy private lives.

The phenomenon is different in the USA, where nobody cares what small stars do, and the large ones that get lots of media attention generally make huge amounts of money and have the resources to acheive a degree of privacy. A Thai BL actor, who needs the money, has very limited options, and if they want to be an actor, the sacrifices they're forced to make may be a bit excessive.

I actually get stressed out wheneve anyone is in a kitchen because I know there will be blood. Also, when someone is shaving - it's impossible to shave in a BL without cutting yourself.

I had a hard time getting through that. It's too cartoonish with 2D acting - there's no sense of who these people are or what their personalities are - they all only have one characteristic.

It felt like a checklist of tropes. Also, the female character is intensely annoying.

The main character is really, really attractive, and the cafe owner is even more attractive, but I don't think that's enough to hold my interest. If I remember this exists next week I'll probably watch one more episode to see if it picks up.

He said in the last ep[sode that he doesn't understand why he was sent back as a human and wishes he could die again. I was confused about how he could be there and be the same age as when he died, and I guess that's the explanation. I think they just wanted him to be able to interact with the other characters and so that's what they went with. It doesn't make much sense.

Go to 10:00. You're welcome. :)

You could delete the words "in Lovely Writer" and it would still be true.

I was impressed at how believable the 90s vibe was - usually you roll your eyes, but they put a lot of effort and thought into that - it really brought me back to that time. Mixed tapes - that was really a thing.

That was so beaufiful. I cried. Tommy's smile could power an entire city.

That wasn't a copy of him, he was having an imaginary discussion with him. That's what he meant later about how Yu Xi Gu is 18 forever but everything else changes.

OMG, I sooo did.

I loved this - I haven't cried that much in years. Pee did a fantastic job, and Au is so cute he should be registered as a weapon. I would love to see these two in a full series.

That wasn't any longer than the other three parts we've seen so far, but it felt like a complete story with a plot and an arc - THAT is how you write a short story.

That was... actually downright good, instead of the usual guilty pleasure. There still isn't much point to Kim, although the mopping scene was too adorable.

I'm not sure what you mean. Nobody died in front of Kim, and that was Win dying in front of Wit (who is now the ghost in black) and Praew 10 years ago. Kim and the other girl (Met) are not the same people as Wit and Praew.
