The man-bun ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃI actually kinda like it, but it's weird how fast it seems to be spreading! ๐
I'm just watching MSL and while the hair doesn't really bother me, I wouldn't call it unique either.
But I think you are right about the trends BLs go through. I even quit Our Days just because it was airing too close to You're My Sky and I liked that one much better! It's like those companies fear doing anything that hasn't been yet proven to work multiple times.
i'm conflicted. i've read the book this is based on and let's just say it was super problematic (it's a mame book…
It was less problematic than I expected so far. But not like, zero problematic. More like half off. What happens next, who knows? I plan to binge it at the end, in case it goes wrong wrong.
That inner monologue threw me off a lot. It was cute the first time but it never stops. Phayu is an ass but excuses…
"Hopefully, the second couple is written by someone else and we get to see some wholesome, not-too-tropey romance."
Both novels were written by MAME. And since it's "her" company that's producing it, I expect the second story to follow the novel closely, too. [I haven't read any of the novels, though.]
I feel like I'm gonna just repeat myself, so feel free to skip this. That said,
1. It shouldn't be this hard to include a plot in BLs. Aside from the two copy-paste scenes where car breaks and one semi-NC scene, this was just a half an hour long compilation of people saying how hot Payu is.
2. Gay isn't a bad word. Rape jokes aren't fun. No one's "asking for it". "No" means "no", and you aren't owed sex, in any situation. Ever.
3. You can have imperfect characters. You can have morally grey/black characters. People don't need to be portrayed perfect. But if one of your leads is just an embodiment of "cute but dumb" and the other one of "hot jerk", it will get old real fast.
4. Your audience isn't braindead. We don't need to be hit on head repeatedly with one, simple message or symbolism.
5. If you want to take a high moral ground and present a message, you shouldn't contradict it on your own at the same time. Saying "there's nothing wrong with being gay" is good! Having 90 percent of your male characters exude strong "I'm not gay, I just think Payu is hot" vibes, voicing it, putting down a character for just saying the word out loud... it doesn't mesh well together.
All in all, this wasn't as bad as I feared in some ways, but it was also way worse than I expected in others. Certainly not good enough to commit to weekly for me. I might get back to it when I'm seriously bored. Maybe binge it as it's ending. But one thing's for sure - this is old school, and not in a good way.
I'm not straight enough to enjoy this testosterone display. So far, pretty boring firsf 5 minutes.
The main lead's already calm and mature! ๐ฅฐ
Ok, so initial characterization : 1.Rain is overdramatic and simple. 2.Payu is apparently the hottest thing since sliced bread 3.Sky is meanie. 4.Girl is loud.
Rain has crush on Sky? Messy. [I shall not accept het pairings, so don't even try. Rain was gay-panicking just few minutes ago ๐]
It's Kamol's bike?! Wow ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ
๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ (that was very delicate, MeMindY)
Should I tell him? Or will we wait after he realizes it himself that P' Payu *turned him gay*?
And I'm pursuing my therapist after this. Or at the very least, a big glass of wine.
Big Bike Bro ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Yeah, Payu is great! Everyone knows.
I have never, ever, seen so many *presumably straight* guys simp over a man. At this point, Payu could be an unicorn breathing fire and I would still be underwhelmed.
Very subtle symbolism. Even OMSN can't compare โ๏ธ
Is anyone else concerned by Rain talking to himself nonstop?
Looks like Rain is better at *seducing* than Payu let on ๐ถ
Gosh, Rain, what's wrong with you?! (That's a philosophical question. We don't have enough time for you to list it all ๐)
Yeah, because he chose for his boiler to break!
That said, I commend them for saying "bi" out loud ๐
Sorry about your *mood*, Payu.
I mean, I can't fault him for that remark! Rain hasn't convinced me yet he has any braincells to spare.
Please do, Sky. And make them keep him there, for observation.
I'm sorry guys, I'm not coping with this. I haven't enjoyed a first episode this little since MSL ๐ If it gets better, good for them! I might get back to it later on. So, last 10 minutes. Let's go.
"A kitty that tries to go against tiger." No, thanks. You can do better! I know you can.
*facepalm* x666
I'm taking it back. MSL had more plot than this! If I didn't know any better, I would have assumed "Payu's" father financed this production just to show off his child.
I enjoy it as well. I shouldn't but I do. Not even hate watching. I know someone who went to one of those "Pet…
"Baboon is supposed to be in high school. I think there's like a 12 year age gap. To fix this they hired an adult actor but kept the character in high school leading everyone to wonder why this grown man acts like a dumbass. "
The OG actor for Kom was around Baiboon's actor's age. I'm thankful that they changed that, at the very least ๐
[I'm feeling a bit under the weather, but I saw baby Baiboon on the thumbnail! I'm sure he will cure me of all that ails me ๐]
He's back at work! Does your Tiger know, Khun Kim?
(Is it just me, or the subtitles don't work at the start of part 1?) [it's fine now, so prolly me.]
Kit-Lop! ๐คฉ Where did you leave your third half? ๐ฅฐ
I'm giving credit to NADE MARINE for Kim's perfect face. Or... Maybe he's stolen Kamol's face creams?! It's very sus how Kamol stopped using them around the same time Kim moved in ๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ
He's worried about Kom, and rightfully so! What would have Baiboon done without Kom? ๐ฐ
Those ministers must be dumb. Or they're just using P'Danai. Also, go make fun of Kamol? Just how childish and petty are you? ๐
"Your boyf-... someone's here to see you!" Watch it be P'Danai ๐ (boring. I want drama!)
AAAAAH. I knew it! We both care about Baiboon โบ๏ธ (everyone knows Kom has one job. And being Kamol's bodyguard ain't it.)
Was that a real kiss? It looked semi real. Like if this was a different production, I would believe they can work the camera angles to make it look real. This one? I'm not sure. Especially after the chaste real peck at the end. (Either way, it's weird kiss.)
Baiboon ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ (I knew that sooner or later, you'll join the other MLs that can't be trusted to even walk by themselves ๐)
He did NOT fall on his knee! How could have that happened?! Actually, normal person would fall straight on their butt!
I don't know how to skate either, Baiboon! You donโt need to repeat everything that seems popular. You've already impressed those that matter ๐
You in danger, Kom ๐
Tiger bingo checked! (You could also say that whatever was that skating fiasco is a nonsense, but I forgive, because Baiboon ๐) [you can find the bingo on reddit, a courtesy of u/BLCompilations]
Kom be like: "You can lean on me, Baiboon! Anything for you ๐"
I would recognize that powder pink color anywhere. NADE MARINE IS BACK, MA BOYS! (and Whipped Cream just chilling in the background, grinning ๐)[told ya]
Kemo's eyes ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ Boy looked legit depressed.
Ehm... Do you expect Danai to send you a report each time he does anything job-related? He might be useless like one of your bodyguards, but he's nowhere near hot enough to be your employee!
1. Danil looks weird, but he has more personality than half of the characters combined! 2.Isn't he supposed to be Kamol's brother? Why is he hitting on Khun?! *insert nervous laughter here, because no emoticon can convey it quite as strongly*
Oh, so Danil's getting the Cherry treatment! Awkward ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ
Too shy to kiss, but he's showering in whatever horrific interior design that is and doesn't mind Kamol seeing him nude ๐
And the shower is still running... (do we think they turned it off in the end?)
Oh, so it can't be his brother by blood! Go on, then ๐ฉธ
You have to respect Kamol for just saying it directly. No beating around the bush. (Also, does that make Danil Kamol's adoptive uncle?)
Why is Kim with wet hair so freaking beautiful? I wanna cry ๐ฅบ
So we're telling Kamol about Day, Kim? To return the trust? ๐ฅฐ
What a big boy! Gorgeous, wonderful boy! I'm not kidding when I say, UN relationships have these moments when I'm shocked how mature, genuine and respectful the characters are! ๐ฎ
You're gonna regret this one, Kamol. Especially once Kim runs away with Itt and Day ๐
See? Their front kisses are those puckered up ones. But when they interlock their lips, it looks weird! Like they're turning sideways to minimize the contact or something ๐
Precious K-B ๐
Why is it Danai that's holding the auction? Also, I don't know anything about this, but is upping the investment amount multiple times a good strategy? You started with 100 iirc. Now it's 500. What prevents them from asking for a mil and Danai offering them 2, just so you give them 3?
Traitor! That ain't Zowla collagen, no. Will you really stop at nothing to get what you want, Cherry? ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ (and why are there multiple boxes?)
Ooh, that's gonna hurt multiple someones ๐
You know it's serious when he needs to take both IDAY and IYON at once!
P'Danai hasn't been paying his taxes. I'm calling it now.
Those earrings aren't THAT big! Though they're bigger than anything I'd ever put on willingly.
And to be honest, I feel genuinely sorry for Cherry ๐
And lower wages?
Book? Not buy?! I'm sorry, are we a cheapo mafia? So we can't afford to buy the villa just in case it might be useful in the future, huh? That's one more point for OMSN.

This hoe is literally bribing them!! What's a lot that's too much! (Wanna bet there's ice inside the boxes? ๐)
(the Kartoon translated screen doesn't make any sense, so I'll omit it for now)[it's fan-translated @fantasi37005230. I don't know what to think about it tbh]
What do you mean, *this scene* is NC? The whole drama (mafia baby 2) is basically a glorified smut whenever the main couple is on screen! Your entire show is not suitable for children!
Nuea-Toh? Were they (Pan and Nott) rehearsing for SCOY while they were on shoot from Mafia Baby? What are these mind games, director-sama? ๐๐
Nott is catching some serious feels. But what about Pan? Will he?
Imagine them modeling for OISHI! That would be a real achievement! (I'm pretty sure this COOLZA stuff is not-so-subtle nod to OISHI either way ๐)
"... will last as long as P'P and P'Dew did." That's some serious shade you're throwing, Pan! Careful ๐ถ
(twitter message verbatim : " Pan *whatshisname* is a new member of CoolZa!" the ones after that are about Talay's character tagging Pan in a post and welcoming him to "one of the warmest houses", which is the CoolZa stuff.)
Pan gets a day off?! Good for him!
OISHI indeed! CoolZa must be their universe's drink overlord.
(Koon's message to Pan: "Where are you?")
I feel scared for Pan. The last "important person" didn't exactly understand the concept of personal boundaries ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ
"COPY B" is not subtle at all ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ Even in my braindead state I would get that one ๐ (but it's interesting to frame itself as a bilboard company ๐ค)

Please, take all the time you need! I insist. All the time in the world, ideally.
He got through it ๐๐๐
(Pan wrote to his mom that he'll be able to go to TTV. She's not responding. The other conversation is about why Nott's answering so fast to Pan, when his own mother doesn't. Nott also says he's missing Pan, which google lens translated as "I'm thinking of Ming". Which - Ouch, Nott! I do not!... I did not. Damn you!!)[corrected translation by twitter user @fantasi37005230]
Pan is a b*tch! (I'm ignoring the Y-Destiny cameo)
I don't like this uncle, either. Pan looked at him like he's going through a nightmare. Yeah...he trash. Let's hope that's all he is.
(Pan is texting his father something along the lines: "Dad, what's wrong? Where are you? I'll come to you." and his dad replies : "I'm fine. Don't come. There's too much people, mom would be embarassed.") (it actually might be Pan's mother he's texting with, since thai people use the third person to talk about themselves. I'm not sure which one.) [looks like it's probably his father. Otherwise, the translation is roughly right I think]
(the next conversation :
Pan's parent - "Take care of yourself. Listen to Koon. Mom doesn't have any money."
Pan - "I'll make a lot of money for mom."
The parent - "I'm looking forward to the drama.")
So now we're pretty sure why Pan is still working in a ship, even if he hates it ๐ข
Pan is like: "No need to be sweet! There aren't any fans around." Little does he know, Nott is their biggest fan ๐ฅฐ
We got ILY!!! ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ
This is cute. I don't trust cute in this series.
Oof. This is gonna blow up, and not in a good way ๐คฏ
Can someone please help me decide whether to watch this (and when)? I've had this on my plan to watch because…
It can be followed without (/+fan and automatic translations), but it would be a better experience to wait for an official translation of the messages imo. It comes out on 27th, so I'd say wait. Also, this episode ended on a pretty big cliffhanger, so you won't suffer as much if you wait :D
As for whether to start it at all, I say go for it. It might get a bit dark and messy at times, but it's very good! ๐ค
Can anyone share a link for any text/socmed translation :(
Episode 3: (I have not yet seen the episode, so I haven't sorted through it so far. But it's better than nothing. You might find more if you look through the respective channels)
My best guess is 25-30 years, honestly. In and Sasi haven't spoken each other in 20 years, but it was quickly…
Bachelor's degree in architecture (which most likely In studied) takes 5 years in Thailand and usually starts at the age of 18. Which would have made In 23 years old when he left to study abroad for his masters. Provided In met Wang when he was a baby (< 5 years), the age gap would be about 18 years at lowest.
If we instead assume that the '20 years In and Sasi haven't seen each other' information is correct, it would lead to age gap of 23 years.
Both of these estimates assume that In left for his masters right after he finished his architecture degree at standard age, and that it's also the time Sasi saw In the last time.
I personally don't think In was older than 23 when he left, since that would have mean he started the school late, needed to repeat... It's not something I find probable regarding his character.
Either way, we're getting an age gap of anywhere between 18 (my earliest believable estimate) and 23 (my latest believable estimate). Personally, it doesn't change a thing for me whichever is more accurate. Even if it was by some chance 15 years. Or thirty years. The age gap would manifest itself in similar manner regardless imo, and it's hardly the only obstacle in their potential relationship.
But I think you are right about the trends BLs go through. I even quit Our Days just because it was airing too close to You're My Sky and I liked that one much better! It's like those companies fear doing anything that hasn't been yet proven to work multiple times.
Both novels were written by MAME. And since it's "her" company that's producing it, I expect the second story to follow the novel closely, too. [I haven't read any of the novels, though.]
It's also gonna be soon added to gagaoolala (they'll release first 4 episodes on 27th of august, afterwards they'll go weekly).
The gaga version should have better translation (translating media comments and messages), so I would wait for that one if you're willing to ๐
I actually kinda like it, but it's weird how fast it seems to be spreading! ๐

4. Your audience isn't braindead. We don't need to be hit on head repeatedly with one, simple message or symbolism.
5. If you want to take a high moral ground and present a message, you shouldn't contradict it on your own at the same time. Saying "there's nothing wrong with being gay" is good!

Oof. This is gonna blow up, and not in a good way ๐คฏ
As for whether to start it at all, I say go for it. It might get a bit dark and messy at times, but it's very good! ๐ค

If we instead assume that the '20 years In and Sasi haven't seen each other' information is correct, it would lead to age gap of 23 years.
Both of these estimates assume that In left for his masters right after he finished his architecture degree at standard age, and that it's also the time Sasi saw In the last time.
I personally don't think In was older than 23 when he left, since that would have mean he started the school late, needed to repeat... It's not something I find probable regarding his character.
Either way, we're getting an age gap of anywhere between 18 (my earliest believable estimate) and 23 (my latest believable estimate). Personally, it doesn't change a thing for me whichever is more accurate. Even if it was by some chance 15 years. Or thirty years. The age gap would manifest itself in similar manner regardless imo, and it's hardly the only obstacle in their potential relationship.
