By far (and to me, also by far the hottest). I think the Phu actor is a little underrated - it's hard playing a stoic character and show what he's feeling, but I think he pulls it off, unlike the Solo actor.

Soap-opera medicine. Prediction: At some point, a doctor will say "the next 24 hours are critical".

Bisexuality exists, but in Thai BL, straight guys will fall in love with a guy - only one guy, ever. That's ridiculous and not Bi. If a guy starts off identifying as straight, then we need to see his internal conflict and self-realization. Take Theory of Love - that made no sense at all.

Isn't it obvious? Who hasn't had someone with no facial expressons creep into your workplace after it's closed and then emotionally blackmail you into moving in with him just after meeting and reveal he has a crime-lord father who wants to kill you? If I had a dollar for every time that's happened to me...

Me too, at funerals.

I would respect it more if my bf told me his father was a mafia lord who wants to kill me a little earlier than Solo did. Also, I would respect it more if he didn't emotionally blackmail me into giving up my home to move into his two weeks after meeting.

What are you all talkng about? How could you possibly romanticize a relationship and make it more unrealistic than Solo & Gui? A boy that has lost his smile wanders into a coffee shop because he sees a barista with a cute smile and returns every night for warm milk? That's realistic to you?

How about one of them having a crime-lord father that will kill anyone his son tries to date but he conceals that until they move in together a couple of weeks after meeting?

I'm not sure concealing you have a homophobic crime-lord father that wants to kill your bf and asking him to move in just after meeting him is exactly uncomplicated or normal - and for that matter, something being uncomplicated is abnormal already, not to mention crushingly boring. Ram and King were not uncomplicated, and they haven't gotten together yet, so while you're correct that they have fantastic chemistry and are a compelling couple, I don't think they fit the description you just gave.

I guess you could say Gui and Solo have great chemistry if you consider that when you put water and flour into a bowl it will eventually congeal into a colorless & flavorless lump before hardening and never developing into anything.

You've seen worse acting than Nut's? Now I'm going to wake up screaming knowing it's out there ready to ambush me at any moment! Actually, the actor is cute and charming when he's not on Oxygen, so I wonder if it's the directing. I think they told him to be expressionless, which can work in a novel, but not in live action.

Is this a trick question? Just click onthe actor's name and his birthday is right there. Or was there a particular actor who's birthday is missing?

I'm not ashamed to admit that was my first thought too.

I'm not sure anyone actually likes characters like this, but they're part of the overall formula that works, so the producers see no reason to change it.

Take a poorly-written fanfiction novel, hire talentless but cheap amateur actors, throw in a couple of pretentious affectations like having lost your smile or liking pink-I mean warm milk, have vastly more interesting side characters but torture everyone by giving them only minimal screen time, make sure there is no plot or character development, unearned happy ending, wash, rinse, repeat.

At the beginning, Kao asked for Phu's permission to pursue him, and defined absense of a no as consent before he asked. Phu did not say no, nor has he since. He's been making Kao work for it, and he even said he's been playing hard to get to make sure Kao was serious about him. So I get why Kao appears to be a stalker, but he really isn't, he's just persistent. The pickpocketing is a bit naughty, but don't we all like our boys to be a little bad? :) Better that then characters that would be more entertaining to watch if they were replaced by mannequins or better, muppets.

To me, the mystery is, how did Phu know Kao was being assaulted, and how did he get there that fast? He would have to be monitoring him... and he was caught on video running to the scene, so me must have been aware of the attack from the second it started.

I totally agree about the moving in thing - they just met! The milk thing I could dismiss as the schtick of this particular show if it weren't part of a long list of creepy co-dependent warning signs.

I hadn't even heard of Hook, but I'll check it out. I can't do LBC2 - even Mean seems to be phoning it in, and whatever magic there was in TinCan is absent in this show.

I assume you're watching Gaya sa Pelikula - and if not, don't walk, but run to go watch it.

I think some people get so heavily invested in shows that they feel that if anyone has a negative impression it's somehow an assault on their validity as a person.

I can ususally see why people like something even if I don't, but I am totally unable to see how anyone could possibly find Solo & Gui appealing.

I think the audience might be younger for this show, which is why dating someone with a homophobic crime-lord parent or moving in when you've just met are not the red-flags they are for people with life experience, although at least the first one of these should be concerning to anyone, I would think.

TharnType had problemmatic aspects but it never hid that it was about damaged people doing f#$%ed-up things. That makes a show interesting, as opposed to fluff like this with no character development.

And maybe @MoonOverStar should consider that wanting a show to be sanitzed fluff is an offensive fetishization of gay relationship at the expense of an oppressed minority who's lives and struggles are being trivialized and exploited to tittilate 'tween girls. :)

"This series is all fluff" isn't exactly a strong argument - that would make it pointless and boring. Also, Solo specifically said Gui is in danger and he would know, right?

It completely made sense to foreign viewers because we all know what a boutique is. Like every single one of us.

It was OK, but forgettable. The acting was OK but not very natural - I felt like I was watching people acting, which is not ideal. and after Gameboys and Hello Stranger, this feels like something that should have aired a few months ago - it seems dated now.

I wasn't really feeling the chemistry that everyone else was - too early to tell I guess, but the connection was situational rather than organic to the actors themselves, and might be related to how incredibly cute both of them are, especially Ali.

I'm not really sure what this is about that we haven't already seen. And I'm really not sure how this can have a higher rating than Gaya sa Pelikula - I mean seriously?

Have you found it in higher resolution? I want to be able to see Tan's face clearly so I can properly drool. 360 is too blurry.

I'm afraid the horror-movie viallain soundtrack playing in all It's scenes makes that unlikely.
