and did you see any representation in GMMTV's headless scripts like Woddie Godday?
wandee goodday has asexual representation. they talked about HPV vaccine. it was also the first thai drama that mentions marriage equality bill that has passed the senato in thailand. do you need more examples? gmmtv is not the best but at least they have directors and staff who are more on the activism side
I don't think it's your queerness that prevents you from enjoying this. I think it might be a lack of understanding…
yeah i dropped this one after the last ep. and yes I don't actually understand what this genre is doing. you know, bad or unproper representation can be detrimental. i'm not saying there aren't toxic or problematic gays. of course there are. and i'm okay with the representation of this as well just like how they did it with only friends. not like these mame dramas. that's my point
didn't we get enough mame shows i'm just asking. story is always weak, there isn't enough buildup for the relationship. it's always sex and stuff. the actors have potential but not with these dramas. mame is like a obsessed straight teenage girl who fantasize about gay men. no proper queer representation. as a queer i don't like her work at all
cher and yei were so cute omg i'm so glad that they talked about marriage equality bill ♡ now that it's legal in thailand, hope they can show their wedding in the series as well. maybe with a special episode or something
as you said, it's your personal opinion and i don't see the point in telling this below my comment. again, in my personal opinion, both characters love each other but are trying to hide those feelings from each other so it seems like "motionless faces without any expression" but it's actually on point. they are both characters who are not expressive, they tend not to speak their minds. shirasaki is a socially awkward person, it's so understandable for him to behave that way. hayama is a cold guy who does not express his true emotions. so the acting in my opinion portrays what they want to show. just because it seems different doesn't mean it's weak. maybe it's just not your cup of tea. p.s. you said actress so I assumed you're talking about a woman but apparently you are talking about actors instead
we already knewwww that he was so in love, i mean it was nice to see his pov but the whole episode being that was upsetting. we didn't see any progress. nevertheless bro is ethereal i cannot take my eyes off of him
they don't know how to kiss for sure but they were so cute. i loved confession scene, especially kazuhito's facial expressions, i think his acting was really good. it was cute overall, forgettable but it was a nice watch, i enjoyed
How do "we know for sure that they'll make it work?" Because that's the standard BL happy ending?
okay so, again in the story, we see in ho also can't move on since high school that he comes back to korea. so naturally i think that he'll wait. he could be with someone else doesn't mean he would want it. because in ho himself is not that stable either. but still, I wouldn't call or label any of them as neurotic etc, even as a psychologist myself. i read your whole comment on the series and i see where you're coming from. choi balgeum's problem is not financial. or it's not specific to korean society. it's what toxic masculinity tells, that a man should be capable, should be independent, should be strong and so on. so it's not easy for him to logically think "it's okay as long as I pay the half of the rent". he wants to be someone that in ho can lean on, can depend on. not only financially but in general. changing a belief is not that easy. i do believe that choi balgeum is experiencing this not because he's struggling financially, it's because he's a man living in a normative and oppressive world.
How do "we know for sure that they'll make it work?" Because that's the standard BL happy ending?
of course not. they'll make it work because they both put their effort. and throughout their story we can see how choi balgeum has changed. and how in ho doesn't give up on balgeum despite the hardships. from my experience, it works out when both parties put their effort into the relationship, so i was sure they'll make it work. if you don't agree, that's okay
unlike many people, i actually enjoyed the final 2 episodes quite a lot. no, i literally loved it. i mean of course all of us wanted a happy ending for the second couple as well but given their circumstances, it's still a pretty decent ending. we know for sure that they'll make it work, they just need the time for that. so it's realistic and still optimistic, wouldn't call it a sad or bad ending. i'm very satisfied with this drama, they did a good job!
