The amount of fans who are disrespecting this show without even seeing a single trailer is crazy. You know that if you don’t like something, you can simply just… not watch it? Personally, I don’t see the big deal about the casting. You’re fooling yourself if you expected Korean-based yaoi visuals from a Thai adaptation lol.
FreenBecky fans always have to start drama regarding anything their actresses touch. This looks like a great movie, who cares if it’s “satanic” or “too inappropriate.” Freen is an actress, she can’t stick to Becky and GL her entire career.
I will never understand why the sweetest girls have one of the worst parasocial, rabid fanbase I’ve ever seen.
Can someone who isn’t a Song Kang fan give me an honest review of this season? Is it that bad or is it just another case of an actor’s fans not being satisfied when their favorite actor doesn’t always get the girl?
I remember watching season 1 back in 2019 and really enjoying it.
I hope these guys have good people around them, they need to prepare for the hate obsessive BL fans will inevitably send them once they no longer fit their fantasy (for example, the reaction to season 3).
It’s a dating show, so I’m not sure why a majority of His Man watchers are so hellbent on treating it like a survival show where you “stan” the contestants and don’t see them as real people who can be messy at times.
Not everything will be fluffy and perfect, that’s not how relationships work. If you want that, watch a K-Drama!
This season got way too much hate. I think the issue was that BL fans started watching His Man seeing these guys as characters who must end up with someone (surprise, the world doesn’t work like that lol) and got angry when their fantasy didn’t happen. Relationships can be messy and complicated, and this season showed that.
I feel bad for the gay guys that come on these shows because they’re now subject to hate from thousands of shippers who don’t actually give a damn about queer people over the smallest thing ever.
The experience watching this while it was airing was INSANE. It felt like everyone was talking about Kinnporsche. There’s some flaws to this show, but at the time it took a brave leap and tried something out of the ordinary by BL standards.
A classic. Yeah, it’s obviously not the best drama and the entire plot itself is pretty toxic, but you had to be there watching this when it was airing. Everyone says that 2gether made Thai BL take off internationally, which I mostly agree with, but I honestly feel like TharnType was the starter.
This was my second BL and Thai drama after randomly finding out about 2Moons.
TRUE FORBIDDEN ROMANCE! But don’t let that prevent you from watching this. Coming from someone who usually cannot watch romance dramas if there’s not a typical happy ending, I thought this show’s trajectory was incredible. Beautiful, raw, and a complicated narrative of humans simply living in the context of their time and trying to navigate their desires and expectations.
This is the first BL where I liked the second-half of the series more. I had no idea where the show was going, but I did not expect that! It was so intense. Even if you don’t like angst, give this a try because the angst makes perfect sense for this show. Episode 8 and onwards easily took my rating from a 7/10 to a 9/10.
This show was almost cathartic in a way, watching the characters reflect on their choices and how they must go on to still find happiness. I felt the main couple has such good chemistry and acting.
If I had to complain, it would be about the unnecessary AI montages (you really can’t hire a few background guys to fight for a few minutes and film that instead? Lol), and maybe add more episodes to give more time explaining the character’s history, palace politics, and showing more of the war, but that’s minor and barely hindered my understanding of what was going on. Overall, such a good show!
Incredible show in my opinion… until the last scene. Maybe it’s just a personal thing, but I loved how platonic they kept Geu roo with all the characters despite there being plenty of times to squeeze in a typical romance like they did with Sang gu. Geu roo is all about sticking to what he knows and it’s been that way his whole life, but out of nowhere he starts stuttering and faltering because of a girl?
I think her story could’ve been interesting if it was an actual case in the series instead of some “groundbreaking” last scene. I noticed this with a lot of shows involving characters on the spectrum, they portray them as one way, until the very end where they’re like, “surprise! he’s normal now!” Almost as if people on the spectrum should change and eventually will “grow” out of what they were born with (yes, they can try new things and get better with regulating emotions, but to neurotypical people they see growth as people on the spectrum heavily masking to the point where it’s damaging). I’m sure that wasn’t intentional by the producers, but it gave off that vibe.
I don’t know, I just think it was unnecessary and honestly a weird way to end a show all about a found family. They built up all that anticipation and excitement of Sang gu finding out Geu roo still wants him as a guardian, just to end it like that? I think a more interesting final scene would involve the trio in some way, either being happy-go-lucky, cleaning another space, something.
I know it’s not that big of a deal, but this drama did a perfect job of displaying how romance doesn’t need to be the main focus for a show to be good. So for them to add that final scene felt kind of lazy or a last minute idea that doesn’t make much sense in the context of what the show originally was about. Maybe this girl was Geu roo’s supposed soul mate, maybe they were hinting at a season 2, but even then I feel like there are a million different final scenes that would be more fitting. Also, not saying Geu roo is, but aroace people do exist and they’re able to live happy, fulfilling lives without romantic intimacy.
Regardless, I still give this show a 10/10, but to me the ending was a letdown.
This movie wasn’t as bad as I expected based on the reviews, especially when you consider it came out almost 20 years ago. Yeah there were some flaws but I don’t think it’s terrible. Pretty typical and simple BL for the late 2000s.
