You called it.

It would be funny if one of them came out as straight and ended up getting bullied for being a breeder.

That sounds 100% correct.

I think Prab is completely aware of his feelins for Chon. He goes nuts with jealousy whenever anyone shows interest in him and is always smiling lovingly at him. He may feel he can't act on his feelings because of the family relationship, and he doesn't seem to know Chon has feelings for him. I could be totally wrong - this show has already fooled me a few times.

I think there's a lot of confusion because there are two teachers that have shown an interest in Maping. One is the one that's been in the series a lot, who seems to just want to help Maping - he was too hard on him intially and felt bad. The other teacher who warned him touched Maping inappropriately, so his warning was more like "hand off, he's mine." Or at least that's how I saw it. If I were to guess, I'd say bad teacher will do something bad and good teacher will rescue Maping. But I could be totally wrong. This show hasn't been too predictable. Maybe it will end up as "We can't do this. You turn 18 in 3 months. I've already made the hotel reservations." I doubt they'll go anywhere unethical with this - it's not that sort of series.

I thought it was almost revolutionary that he got upset and jealous, went to cool down for an hour, then came back and apologized for overreacting. I don't think that's ever happened in the history of BL. There wasn't even a montage of all the good times they spend together.

It's kind of fun to have a series where every single member of the student body AND the faculty and alumni are gay and it's taken for granted that everyone is pursuing boys. I realize Chon's dad is straight - allegedly - but I've got my eye on him. He and that teacher would make a nice couple...

There are two different teachers - they're easy to confuse. One touched the boy inappropriately, the other(the main one) just appears to be trying to help him get higher scores. I suspect they will intersect, but we'll see. This show is relentlessly wholesome - they're not going to do anything that isn't appropriate for young teens.

The a/c was fixed, but they came up with a new excuse to share a room. I can't remember what it is, but the parents bought it.

I could find nothing on the cost of producting a BL - but an normal Thai drama costs 4-5M Baht, and they typically run 3 times per week for 3 months, so a BL is one third the episodes. If you take 5M/3 = 1.67M = USD $52K. That seems incredibly low to me.

The director in this show was offered 60,000 = $1,900, and that included a lot of other things too - I believe there was script editing and other editing, plus he has to do the workshops.

You may very well be able to do a BL that cheaply - if so, we need to move to Thailand and start a production company. My brother is a cinematographer and editor... I'd have to hold a gun to his head to get him to work on a BL, but I'm not adverse to doing that.

I had my first COVID shot today - it was drive through and I had to sit in my car for nearly 2 hours so I did some research on this topic - I think I'm caught up now.

That's probably one of the things that failed in th shower scene - you couldn't see his face. The shower scene in S1, however...

Raise your hand if you're surprised he hasn't called his friend in over month. No hands? Seriously, that character is so tiresome I couldn't watch it. You can make someone OTT without being that supernaturally annoying.

We're starting the slow to a crawl at this point - I'm hoping things pick up next ep. I'm not sure what happened, but it was at the end of the shower - maybe Curt felt Sid only kissed him for te vlog? That would jive with what he said later.

I wasn't botherd by the sex scene in History4 and this made me uncomfortable. Both watching the characters and feeling for the actors. At least if it were funny and cute - but it's just not. Well, Tue was cute, when he wasn't scared and screaming "no" with his body language.

This is horrible - and I thought the writing was bad for the last story. The first 8 minutes absolutely nothing happens, and in the bathroom memory, the moment it started I thought "he'll lean in for a kss than throw up on him." And I'll bet all of you thought that too. Every second of this is predictable.

Nat looks good, but he's so gross and creepy in this. I thought his acting was weak - this is not the type of role he excels at. There is no chemistry between these two - I could feel it between them in Why RU, but Nuea was so OTT and Sun so scared and screaming "no" with his body language that this was really embarassing to watch. Try to imagine this with a Sun as a girl.

The Tue story was better than this - it was bad but at least it made sense. I can't for the life of me see why any of you like this more - it's just trashy with no plot and not cute. Usually I can at least see why people like something that I don't, but I haven't a clue here. What am I missing?

In Tue, the turnaround from enemies to lovers was way too sudden, but it was equally sudden here - Tue hated Nuea and within 30 seconds was putting up with severe sexual harassment. Considering he punched him the night before (somehow not leaving a mark on him) for much less, it's a little hard to believe he'd subject himself to this.

This would have been great if Tue had turned the tables, and you know he could have - then it would at least be a stuggle for control. Or Nuea at one moment seemed vulnerable - we needed more of that, because at the moment he's a malignant narcissist, although he was polite to his staff.

I highly recommend the other two films - they're really wonderful.

In the "standard BL formula", Paper would have to be the seme and Sky the uke, but they aren't really following that here, so hopefully they'll just be two guys and not formulaic tropes.

COVID probably leaves me with too much time on my hands. But if someone took so much time to write to me, it seems rude not to respond. :)

I don't know - he does look familiar, but I can't place it.

Tino is probably right - either that, or people are clueless. I think maybe my confusion is because it's so rare that a character is openly gay in a BL that it's surprising when that's the case. When I was that young, sometimes girls would still try because they thought maybe I just hadn't met the right girl yet, but that was a long time ago and I would think now people would know it doesn't work that way.

Some people don't think you should make critical comments, but if you're evaluating something, there are usually positives or negatives. Discussing negatives brings our what's positive, whereas onky being positive eventually becomes meaningless, like if you eat chocolate all day it will get boring instead of being a treat.

Thank you for saying that, I really appreciate it!

Yes, I understood that - it was word-play on my part, taking slow-paced and using the typo to make it even more extreme. It's my burden in life that nobody understands my dry humor. :)
