@Earth First, thank you for supporting the Thai BL industry assuming you are if you are truly a BL genre consumer. :) I am sure the producer of this series didn't see it as BL but as a cross-generational family drama geared toward local Thai audiences familiar with Thai culture, norms, and mores. This series was promoted in Thai language as such.

@Architectofnonsence, you're right; that's why i wrote to whomever had successfully tag a series before; I tried once and it didn't go through; the platform moderator shared a link to a list of procedures to follow. Still I am grateful for members who mentioned about bromance in this in their posts which enable me to discover it.

Anyone who has successfully submitted a tag on this platform before, please tag it "bromance" so others can discover it easily.

@AubreyAesohn When you're done watching, post your take on this. I'm interested to read it.

It's broadcasted on local TV here and can be viewed on the broadcaster's platform. I'm surprised international viewers, particularly those BL fanatics, have not caught on to this with 2 bromance pairings in 12 lengthy episodes.

@vin Thanks. Don't know how I could have missed 'A Little Reunion.' Another one I like that's similar might be 'A River Runs Through it.'

To those Chinese viewers, isn't Lingnan in Guangdong Province? I expect to hear more Cantonese than one word from the Lin Jurong character. In episode 8, we hear Cantonese opera playing from a radio or tape player. (If only there were a Cantonese dubbed version for this series...)

@cheerychums89 If "they" will do season 2, I'd rather "they" do Manner of Death Season 2 according to the novel sequel first! :)

Thank you.

@lietk12 Thank you for the list!

Great list, @quiescent It seems you have forgotten the 2024 Let's Talk about Chu. May I request you to compile one for China & Hongkong? :)

@quiescent, thank you for putting together this list. Just have to shift through for the gay (from the BL). :)

@deepakk Since you watched many medical dramas, do you have any Mandarin language ones (with Chinese culture) to recommend? :)

@YESMISSA, I appreciate the information. I've been unable to find the web novel and am curious about Gao Peng's fate. If what you've shared is indeed from the novel, it brings me relief. :)

@Dr Ghost, I think she was referring to Zhi Nan and Peng's relationship.

@LivingTribunal, where can we read the novel, please?

As of episode three, the series primarily revolves around three female leads. The male characters, as well as other female characters, are portrayed as the recipients of their emotions. That's what I see from my lens. :)

@DrGhost, I appreciate your point. Considering SML's education "abroad," one might question whether he should have been more assertive and ended the relationship years earlier, rather than indulging her with material gifts and tolerating her tantrums over the phone. It's possible that the screenwriter intended for his character to be excessively dramatic, to the point of forsaking the rationality supposedly gained from his "studies abroad." :D

@RomanticRosebud_BL, if you're labeling the "new" guy, Qu Yi Peng, as toxic, could you elaborate on why he's deemed "toxic" or, as others have said, a "gold digger" just for befriending a woman at his workplace? Up to episode 3, I haven't seen any behavior that fits those descriptions. I'm quite interested in your viewpoint. :)

@Haruu, at the end of ep. 3, we were led to believe Gao Peng has realized that He Zhi Nan isn't for him. Hope he gets a much better and mature one. (Watching Zhi Nan tantrum scenes was torture for me).
