Episode 6, from 22:45 to 26:30. I was also worried Marco would get grease on his fabulous outfit.

I understand it was Earth.

What can I say? You inspired me.

My feeling is that his attitude was sort of acceptable at first because of that brutal betrayal by his friends, and it wasn't unreasonable to assume Mork was playing with him when that photo was posted - but this is Ep 5 and Mork has been relentlessly kind to Pi and very patient with his rude behavior, yet Pi continues to treat him like sh#$ for no reason.

Compare that to Oxygen where Phu was cold to Kao, who then gradually chipped away his defenses - we're not seeing that here - Pi is more and more rude, not less, and the series is half over. (5 out of 12 is half since ep 11 & most of 12 will be burned by implausible drama caused by even more implausible miscommunication. I haven't read the book or any spoilers, but it's a BL, so yeah.)

We need to see a progression. It also doesn't make any plot sense. Mork and Meung are best friends, so they must have discussed this, so it's weird that Meung hasn't made it clear he's not interested rather than leading Pi on. Unless Meung IS interested, in which case this is good news for rude creepy people.

Everyone's behavior is creepy if they're not good-looking. But Mork is so incredibly beautiful he could drown puppies for fun and it wouldn't be creepy. Maybe they should have cast someone else for the role.

I would have commited seppuku if I'd watched it with headphones. I attribute it to childhood trauma caused by my piano teacher, who would try to quietly unwrap cough drops in the middle of performances, which would only extend the torture.

That's true, but most BL actors are under 25 - I would be more than happy if they shifted to late 20s+ storylines, but that's not what BL is. Or at least not what it's been so far.

I was interested in this because Max and Zee are in it (and are both in their late 20s) - I didn't notice how young some of the others are until you mentioned it, but I do get your point.

I was just jokingly commenting that I think Max always looks hot. But you're right, he looks especially hot even for him.

Duean is a comic character, though, and although his language is rude, his actions are all entirely caring and non-selfish (if horribly misguided at times). Do you think Pi would have gone through all that to retrieve Mork's water bottle? Or even Duean's? Or even his grandmother's?

Pi doesn't want Mork to leave him alone, he wants Mork to not be chasing Max, but since he's not, he can't comply - and he keeps telling Pi he's not, but because Pi is a self-absorbed child, he refuses to accept it - he'd rather deflect his onw failings onto someone else.

If Mork is indeed the secret friend, then that's a good point, but even then, Pi is rude to him, too.

I'm sorry to hear that - but on the other hand it does mean he's a great actor, so hopefully with experience he won't get so lost.

That's actually a really good point - if it's true that Mork is the secret friend. But from what we've seen of their interaction, Pi is even rude to his secret friend!

I think I'll be fine with all this if it just starts to progress. 5 eps in and nothing has happened or changed - Duean's storyline has progressed literally twenty times more so far.

Well, it was better than Tossara.

I'm not sure who thought there was any need to make something this spectacularly unoriginal. I could barely make it through this on 2x. I thought Ball was adorable and Jin is actually a bit different than the usual lead - he's cute. But Bbomb is duller than Pha in 2moons2 and I didn't think that was possible.

I think I'm going to have to pass on this - it was really difficult to sit through. Let me know if Kaownah gets screentime and I can skim it later for him.

Also, native Thai music is so beautiful - but their Western music is awful - I think there's only one song, with and it just keeps getting recycled over and over. It's so harmonically simple it makes mariachi sound complex.

The only thing that happened that wasn't strictly forumlaic is that Jin didn't vomit after drinking. Usually one sip of beer results in vomiting and having sex with your family members.

I have to admit that Jin is really cute - his drunken "over there!" and his crying were really adorable. And Ball was adorable too.

Other than that, this was almost torture to watch.

OK, I'm looking forward to this. I usually have muted expectations, but this I want to see.

"in this" is unnecessary in your first sentence. :)

Why? 19 is perfectly adult. Saint was 19 when Love By Chance was filmed and it was his first role. If everyone demands high school and college stories, then the actors are going to be young.

OK, I surrender. But there does need to be progress soon - Pi's attitude hasn't really softened for 5 eps - if it's a sudden turnaround it won't feel convincing.

There were a thousand stars shining in the sky, and the moon accompanied them, reflected by the sea, so that there were 2. Bas frowned at Marco. "But there's still the your manner of death to consider."

Marco backed away, but it was too late "Why r u..." He was cut off as Bas seized him by the throat.

Bas shook his head. "With our history, I felt close to you. Maybe I'm crossing the line, but now I'm trapped - addicted - and I'm not a good loser. I can't be in your friend zone."

Bas leaned in to kiss his victim. With his oxygen cut off, Marco's face changed color in a rush, and so it was a dark blue kiss - a kiss to remember.

I was actually more bothered with the sound issues in the car than they awful green screen. The amount of crinkling noise the hamburger wrapper made was inexcusable. I'm pretty forgiving of sound issues outdoors because the right equipment can be expensive, but not in a scene like that.

I hope S2 is more technically competent, because the acting and writing were first rate.

It would be better if he didn't go to jail - this show is more about how people get away with abuse. He SHOULD be in jail, and molestors generally don't do well there...
