first season was amazing. boc sex scenes are basically censored p0rn. if you are expecting that here then yup…
whether it's soft or hard, porn is famously plotless. its whole point is that it's simply a jerk-off material, there's no substance to it, no backstory. you literally cannot say that about any of these bls, no matter how explicit they are. erotica is more fitting i feel like
dhevi... what a character. honestly didn't expect this from boc considering how one-dimensional (or straight up non-existent) their female characters often are.
idk feels kinda undercooked, but i really like the overall vibe. just wish they'd spend more time polishing it, the editing in particular is very rough
...or maybe - just maybe - it's inspired by real events that transpired in Thailand at that time?
why wouldn't characters and plot also be inspired by real life events? "revolutionaries who die young" is not a lesmis-exclusive archetype. a few years after the events of this show there was a student-led uprising in thailand, and a lot of those students had died. who's to say that they weren't an inspiration for victor and his friends? i feel ike it's one thing to be like "oh this reminds me of a specific western media i grew up with" and completely different to say that a historical series set in SEA is actively drawing inspiration from said western media.
every time i see someone squeal over the second couple i feel like i'm watching a different show. there have never been two characters who do nothing for me to this extent. the only reason i'm not skipping their scenes is because one of them is a cop so i'm afraid i'm going to miss some crucial information about the case he's in charge of
i'm starting to understand die-hard stans of bl pairs. well, kind of. cuz not that i want jimmysea to never "break up" and never act with other people, but honestly i would not mind seeing them together in ten more shows
lady pa showed up with what was very obviously just a vaguely baby-shaped bundle of fabric with no actual baby inside, and so when thee and rati finally met tete-a-tete i fully expected thee to go "listen, rati. here's the deal. it wasn't a real baby. me and lady pa have been successfully fooling everybody but soon it'll get to a point where people start noticing that the "baby" doesn't grow and we're at loss what to do. please help because the best idea we've got so far is hiring random commoner children to play the part"
