The Man In The Iron Mask by Alexandre Dumas? Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier?

Yet again, not on the Australian site.

Well, that was painful. I have never been so disappointed with the beginning of a series. I absolutely loved Bed Friend and looked forward to this continuation of their stories...but wtf! They nearly lost me with the stupid animated opening sequence, in fact I wondered if I had the right show on. it didn't get any better. I liked Jade in BF, but this guy is a complete idiot who you would not hire in a responsible position in any way, shape or form. He is even more cringy than the guy in Be Mine Superstar. The weird facial expressions and the way he has to yell every line of dialogue...Is it even the same screenwriter as Bed Friend, or the same director? I will watch ep 2 to see if it settles down, but if not, sadly I will be dropping this. I feel totally let down.

It's a wonder they haven't outlawed stairs! Every show, the cute one trips & falls down the last three steps just in time to be caught 'princess' style by the hero. At least they seem to have stopped the trope of falling and landing on someone's lips!

I'm not sure if I will keep going with this. Too much like Double Savage where Film caused all the trouble and came between the two brothers (Ohm & Perth). Now she is in the love triangle with Ohm & Nani. Maybe she just isn't my favourite actress, but the 'innocent act' is too contrived in both roles.

I found the same thing in the comments for Shadow - the same people asking over and over again "is it BL?". Completely obsessive. They need to be able to enjoy a show for what it is - BL or not. Don't get me wrong, I love BL as much as anyone, but I can also enjoy the actors in other roles. It is a weird attitude that in Western media, a straight actor can play a gay role without that taking over his life (Brokeback Mountain), but in Asian dramas a BL actor is expected to give fan service and to only act with his on screen partner forever more. The poor guys want, and need to stretch their acting wings, and should be encouraged by all their fans.

I must have missed that. I thought there was a scene where Juan told a dying Zhang Teng that he was stupid and that he loved him, and then closed his eyes after he died. I'll have to ge back and look again. I wondered what happened to Juan. Is he in prison or is he still out there looking for revenge? Or is he dead too?

Yeah, but she is sleeping with the homophobic bully, so she is morally compromised from the start.

I think the problem for gay teachers is that there is a truly ignorant sub-set of people who equate gay with pedophilia and think they should have no contact with children. Unfortunately the things that have been revealed about Catholic priests (not all) in teaching positions has not helped.

My only quibble with the weed smoking was that the 'joint' apparently came from a 'hermit in the woods' - who makes tailor-made joints complete with cork filters??? Please...

I just wish the makeup artists would give them 'bruises' elsewhere. Every time there is a punch, the receiver has the same red mark beside the left side of their mouth. It's the same in every drama.

Because she is sleeping with him! She is pregnant with the bully's baby.

From some angles he reminds me of Meen - Ai in Ai Long Nhai, or our current Gangster Oppa.

I'm not sure either. In the book the Yai in 2023 is a descendant of the family and is closer to 30 than 20. Here it seemed as if it was 1927 Khun Yai magically appearing in the future. I really hope they do season 2 with Commander Yai.

We should get him a membership to Overacters Anonymous...

I prefer cake to all the soft toys on the bed trope.

Can I get nerdy and use a Lord of the Rings reference? At the Gates of Moria the 'secret' password is "say 'Friend' and enter". The implication is if your intentions are friendly you are welcome anytime.

I have to disagree to a certain extent. This was the perfect ending for them because Nick discovered his self-worth, and realised that Boston was just using him to fill in the time he had left before he went to New York and none of his former friend group wanted him around. Ton was not going to change for Nick, and he might be always like that forever. Nick deserved better.

Thai dramas are notorious for product placement. Only Friends not so much. I think the condom manufacturers missed a huge opportunity.

Yes, our gorgeous Mix was definitely giving Mew 'the eye'.
