...yeah, it just feels unserious to me since i've lived through this experience. I knew it would be another "family-friendly" way of handling a serious topic, but i gave it a chance, and well, i should stop giving GMMTV dramas a chance. In real life, religious people (and religion itself) can be incredibly cruel to gay people in one way or another, while conversion therapy is still a thing in Thailand. and it was a thing especially in the 90s
seven years?!! why is it taking so long to be released?
i mean, they banned danmei adaptations the very same year (2021) they wanted to release hyx. and nothing really changed. i've been here since the rumors about who's going to be in the cast started, so it's longer for me
I don't think the whole episode has to be full of drama, you have to understand that. We only had one episode…
...did you even read her comment? she said that it's too smooth, and i agree. it's annoying as hell, real world doesn't work like that for queer people in catholic environment even in the best cases. at this moment there's absolutely no depth in this drama for me
It's not bad, but I feel like it's a BL with endless potential to explore, yet it doesn't go anywhere, and it's…
yeah, which is annoying since i've lived through this experience, and, well, at the moment i don't feel like the topic is being taken as seriously as it should be. we will see, but i'm not surprised
I'm sorry, but the story had so much potential, good actors, amazing chemistry, but the writing kinda messed up.…
the writing messed up big time. i had sooo much fun, but now all i think about is wasted potential. maybe they tried to do unreliable narrator/distorted pov because of terminal illness? don't get me wrong, writing is still messy, but maybe it's just a poor execution? dunno
One scene here reminded me of a time when a priest told me that homosexuals were satan's creation, while i was deep in denial about being gay and having feelings for my friend. I ended up sabotaging our relationship because i felt disgusted with myself, and i never saw her again. It took me almost 10 years to stop being in denial and to stop getting lump in my throat whenever i thought about it, while everyone else had already moved on. And to this day, i see day after day religious people promoting conversion therapies in my country.
So after EP2, i can only hope they'll handle this topic at least in a decent way, since GMM series have let me down too many times by treating issues like this in a "family-friendly" way (no wonder), when the reality is that religious people are incredibly cruel to gay people, in one way or another, and we often cannot fully recover from it, sometimes it destroys our lives, especially if we're in completely religious environment. I hope that by the end of this series, traumatised gay kids will feel less alone in this world and will feel seen.
I actually agree to an extent, because the pacing seems wonky, and the transitions dont feel smooth from one scene…
yeah, it felt very ridiculous for me, like they wanted to skip it as fast as they could while cuts are weird, but later it was fine actually, so i dunno what happened. there's a lot of assistant directors, so maybe that's why it look this way. i hope it won't happen again, since lazy writing/directing is the worst thing you can do to more serious topic
i started to laugh at the very start because it was wayyy too fast-paced and i got confused as hell. it was the moment i wanted to drop it since it was THAT ridiculous for me, but i'll give it a chance, perhaps they were lazy at the very start but it's strong later
