Still no subs for third and fourth parts :( Is there any reason they are waiting between uploading the subs for…
Yeah. 2/4 done, now waiting for third.
I believe they still haven't finished the subs. I'm not sure whether the quality is worse now compared to other episodes, but it feels kinda rushed imo. Maybe it's just in my head 🤔
I saw a comment now on another BL page, and they said BL are made for teenagers , now I feel really bad because…
As others said. As long as you're enjoying it, your gender, race, religion, sexuality and even age (provided you're aware of show's rating) doesn't matter 💙
I'm not getting this. What does Tol have to do with Dr. Tin. Do they become boyfriends or what? I'm in ep 1 and…
The series is pretty well paced so far imo, so it unveils these things naturally as you watch. It's more of a mystery show, so you may have more questions than answers at any given time.
To answer your question, the romance aspect is pretty slow and as of episode 6, they still aren't dating. Though it's expected they will end up together by the end of drama. There's already some connection established between them 💙
There's so many mixed reviews that i keep getting confused if i should watch it or not. Someone who's watched…
Good points:
Above average soundtrack. Good cinematography. Gorgeous actors. Hot (?) NC scenes.
Bad points:
Awful writing. Awful. It gets contradicted repeatedly and nothing substantial happens most of the time.
Unhealthy relationship dynamics portrayed as cute, normal, or hot. It gets very uncomfortable (including the NC scenes) for some.
Second pairing is a copy-paste of first pairing. Third pairing has little screentime and no believable progression.
A lot of filler, especially in form of NC scenes.
Main conflicts are repeated over and over and then retconned.
Somehow it's still boring? Like, most of the time I didn't know if I'm disturbed by it or falling asleep.
My verdict: You can try it if you like the fanservice and NC scenes. Other that that, this show has nothing good to offer imo. Most of first 2 episodes are actually fine, but it gets progressively worse the further you go.
Arranged marriage between two guys? Do I understand it correctly the law allows same sex marriage in Thailand?…
Don't put much logic into this part of the story. They apparently live in a fictional Thailand where same-sex marriage is both allowed and illegal, depending on the scene they are in.
Most of the time they say they can't get married, but then at times Lian offers Kuea to go to the office and get the paperwork sorted out? It's weird.
Regardless, the arranged marriage doen't have much impact on the story and it's only used as an excuse or for virtue signalling purpose.
Just finished this drama now and I URGENTLY NEED RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OTHER DRAMAS THAT ARE AS GOOD AS THIS!!!!…
In case you run out .
Romantic / emotional:
Gaya Sa Pelikula (Like in the Movies) - filipino story about questioning one's sexuality.
2moons - Your standard college thai BL, actors got recasted for second season.
Gen Y - similar to 2 moons (even share some cast). Second season was a bit weak plot-wise imo, but still worth a try. Thai.
Seconding "Semantic Error" - shorter korean story (most K-BLs are ~2 hours long). Can be considered Enemies-to-Lovers trope.
Gameboys - filipino story about falling in love during quarantine, second season releasing soon on Gagaoolala.
Seconding "Light on Me" - korean drama about making friends and falling in love for the first time.
Love By Chance - from the same book author as TharnType. Similar in tone, but (maybe) lighter, more college focused and romantic. It's loosely tied to TharnType, but not enough to matter imo. Trashy second season. Thai.
Seconding "Kieta Hatsukoi" - japanese slice-of-life romantic comedy about confessing your love.
Comedy:
Fish upon the sky - Thai BL about secret crush / unrequited love, slightly OTT at times.
Lovely Writer - Thai show about working in BL industry. Can get a bit dark at times.
2gether - my first BL. It's far from perfect, but still pretty entertaining. Just don't expect much in terms of intimacy. Thai.
Edited to add : Fukou-kun wa Kiss Suru Shikanai! (Mr. Unlucky) - ongoing japanese romance comedy about "unlucky" person that lucks out in a relationship. Very funny. Very emotional. A must watch right now imo.
More deeper / darker stuff:
Life: Love on the Line - japanese movie about a progression of relationship.
Seconding "Utsukushii Kare" - japanese drama about having a crush (the unhealthy kind).
Call It What You Want - similar to Lovely Writer in plot focus, but darker and noticably lower budget. While lovely writer is told from BL novelist's pov, the mains in this one are director and actor. Thai.
Something in My Room - thai drama about falling in love with a ghost. This one can get confusing, especially if you watch the cut version on youtube.
Edit : Triage - ongoing thai medical thriller drama about an ER doctor trying to save people's lives. Kinda hard to watch (because "AIS PLAY"), but INCREDIBLE as far as plot goes. Romance is a bit sidelined at start, but it's getting there imo (episode 6).
Honorable mentions:
The Miracle of Teddy Bear - I haven't finished this one yet. It's long (90 minutes per episode). It starts a bit silly, but gets darker the further you go (mostly psychological stuff like grief). I wholly recommend trying it out, just be warned it's an odd one. Kinda a mix of slice-of-life, comedy, mystery, supernatural and thriller. Thai.
Word of Honor + Untamed - chinese censored "bromance" BL series. Don't expect even a kiss. But it's pretty packed as much as "homoerotic" chemistry goes. As for plot, they are wuxia/xianxia, so chinese martial arts with fantasy elements. Can get confusing (especially since there are many characters and one character can be addressed by multiple names), but it's also pretty interesting. Watch it when you have time, since it's also hella long.
I just found this drama and I really want to watch it. Does anyone know where to watch this with eng sub?
New episodes release every monday on 'AIS PLAY' youtube channel at 11pm - 1 am bangkok time (available only for ~2 hours).
As for older episodes, I believe the only way to watch them subbed now is illegally. They've been uploaded to multiple video-sharing sites like dramacool or dailymotion. I personally use bilibili in case I miss the time window for new episode.
But if you can, try to catch the upcoming ones during their official release on youtube 💙
This gives me manga feels and I realise now that's entirely because it's based on one, lol.
It's similar with a lot of japanese "Live Actions". That's why some people get surprised how unrealistic/ridiculous it can get. Personally I don't mind it, but it's always better to start japanese BLs with an expectation it could be there 💙
Some Korean BLs are also based on comics/manhwa, but they rarely get as OTT as japanese ones do 😄
Do you mean this? "We did not need that random TinTol connection imo."
By that I meant linking Tin to Tol by establishing their parents know each other / are friends and that Tin himself met Tol before show started (when they were young).
A lot of BLs do this "deeper hidden connection" thingy to make the relationship seem fated or to set the base for it way before the drama show us their "first" meeting. Personally, I find it cheap in many cases. 2gether did that with Sarawat meeting Tine on the concert before. UWMA built the whole drama around it (and while I didn't mind the idea itself, execution was very cringey imo). Gen Y did the same with ThanuWayu.... I'm sure I could go through my BL list and find way more examples. It's an old trope BLs work with to make the romance into more than it is.
i wanna know, how is Rit's Kidney thing and Mai's mother's death related to Tol's death? i must have missed something…
I don't think he needs to save Rit in order to save Tol. He's just doing it because it's a right thing to do, so they won't have any regrets. I guess you could argue Tol might have an adverse cardiac event if he learns Rit killed himself because of what Tol's friend group did to him.
Similarly with Mai's mother. Tin might want to do it because for his conscience, and it may affect Tol emotionally through Mai.
That said, both of those things are directly linked to the Illegal organ harvesting. So maybe in future episodes, they could link that to Tol somehow, making it essential for Tin to save everyone. I'm just speculating. (I haven't read the novel, so someone who did may know already whether that's the case or not.)
"how many people are gonna die in this episode?"Screenwriter: "YES"
The whole episode I was like : "They can work through that. They can live with it, too. Poor Mai's mom, but the plot can move no problem." Until Dr. Fakfaeng died. I was pretty sure (read desperately hoping) they're gonna reset after that one.
3/4 done, just one more to go! Su su na 💙
I believe they still haven't finished the subs. I'm not sure whether the quality is worse now compared to other episodes, but it feels kinda rushed imo. Maybe it's just in my head 🤔
*no subtitles for part 1/4*
Me refreshing the video after 30 minutes and seeing it subbed: "Finally! Now I can complete it 😁"
After 10 minutes, seeing no subs for part 2/4 : "This is gonna be a long session 🙃"
Nevermind. I started Spring of Crush in the mean time 💜
To answer your question, the romance aspect is pretty slow and as of episode 6, they still aren't dating. Though it's expected they will end up together by the end of drama. There's already some connection established between them 💙
