Mee too dear!... I am soo frustrated. I hope the takeaway message people take from this series is romantic love…
I totally get you, dear! It’s been a rollercoaster. Fingers crossed that the final message is about finding happiness within ourselves. Your words are a perfect reminder! 💖
Thats what im thinking too. The moral is 2nd chances, learning to love yourself. Until ep 11 which departs from…
Glad to know I’m not alone in feeling this way! It’s interesting how the series evolves. Looking forward to hearing your new opinion after Episode 11. 😊
Kongthap’s “more than friends, not boyfriends yet” proposal is basically a drawn-out process of figuring each other out through dating.
And hey, for those of us in North America, we don’t slap the “boyfriend” label on someone right away either; it takes time and getting to know each other.
So, our two adorable guys are about to kick off their “dating” phase in the next episode! I’m buzzing with excitement!
Their interactions are always so sweet and genuine, you can’t help but wonder what kind of surprises and romantic moments “dating” will bring in this Thai adaptation.
I hope that by the end of this BL series, folks discover some heartwarming humanity and nuggets of wisdom. Otherwise, it’s just a melodramatic, nerve-jangling, toxic-relationship epic.
In the latest episode of "My Stand-in," the narrative unfurls like the turbulent sea, reminding us that life’s most profound insights are revealed through its most unpredictable moments. Does this suggest that Joe intends to break free from the cycle of suffering?
This episode took a huge turn, The funny lighthearted theme went down the ditch. But still a great series. I really…
Thanwa is my favorite character, but he looks so beat up. 😭 Honestly, he still doesn’t have a job and money’s tight, but his ex-boyfriend? Total walking red flag! Should we just take him in or what?
This episode took a huge turn, The funny lighthearted theme went down the ditch. But still a great series. I really…
Yeah, it’s still an awesome series.And Peak’s jealousy? Ugh, such a huge red flag! It’s so frustrating to see him acting out like that. Here’s hoping he gets it together soon.
Does Atom's motorcycle have GPS or something? He keeps bumping into Zen's grandma and stumbling upon Zen getting kidnapped. That's way too convenient! Even the writers must be pushing him into the plot.
It's clear the author is determined to shoehorn Atom into Zen's life as the third wheel, forcing Ryu to step up. This way, Ryu will finally open up and chase after Zen. Fans are dying for this ship to sail!
And Lin having a thing for Ryu? No chance. But she's asking the real questions: what happened during that year Ryu disappeared? Was it some family drama or a wild adventure?
I'm super curious why Ryu ended up on the streets and why Que took him in. Plot twist: Ryu and Que aren't even blood brothers! Is Ryu's debt to Que his ball and chain? And does Que have feelings for Ryu? That line, "Do you like him (Zen)?" makes me think Que might be into Ryu! This show is dropping so many cliffhangers, and I hope we get some big reveals soon.
Only four episodes in, and I'm already off the ship of Que and his gangster boss. The boss is a total cold-blooded villain!
Speaking of the coach, I've never been on a basketball team, but I know training isn't just about physical fitness! I love the coach's character, but if I were a player, I'd be giving him some serious side-eye. Physical fitness is key, but so are strategy, teamwork, and mental toughness. Hopefully, the next episode's retreat gets everyone back on track.
Can't wait to see these mysteries unravel and watch the characters level up.
This morning, I kicked off with Knock Knock Boys thinking it’d be lighter and funnier than The Rebound.
Boy, was I wrong!
Peak, sarcasm is a big red flag, dude! Jealousy made you misread Thanwa, then you went all sarcastic with, “You’re an adult now, decide if you want to leave.” You need therapy, man!
Hiding your vulnerability and not admitting your feelings—how’s Thanwa supposed to get on board with that? And your unresolved engagement? Major screw-up!
I didn’t expect Latte’s childhood to be such a tear-jerker. That heart-to-heart on the beach with Almond? Total feels trip!
Latte, snap out of it and figure out your feelings for Almond. Stop teaching him flirting, or you’ll end up like Peak.
And your “Watch and Melt His Heart” move? Not catchy. In high school, we called it “Lock and Sizzle” or “Gaze and Amaze”! But seriously, someone as clueless as Almond? Don’t mess him up!
I think the problem with ep4 is not so much the annoying behavior of Mook but because the series vibe was cut…
Oh, dear, I checked out Rak's place, and I really don’t like it. His loneliness and even depression are evident from his home's setup, especially his room. It doesn't seem like he enjoys life at all.
Rak and Mut have a lot to work on before they can get closer, but some challenges are realistic and make sense.
If I, a woman, fell for a guy on vacation and decided to bring him back to my city and let him stay at my place, would I really be completely unguarded and open?
So, I get why Mame set up the plot this way, even if I'm not her biggest fan.
I’m not here to defend Mook’s character, and I get why some people can’t stand her.
In real life, I don’t have friends like her! She’s probably just a fictional creation! Childish, loud, and always trying to act cute—honestly, I can’t relate to her at all.
I saw someone comment, puzzled that an adult woman like her is too scared to buy men’s underwear. I laughed! She’s a fictional character, after all. In my previous comment, I shared why I think Rak needs her in the story.
As for the STD issue, anyone in a serious relationship should be responsible for their own and their partner’s health, so check-ups are crucial. But when Mook “hinted” that Mut might have an STD, she was trying to protect Rak.
Yes, her insinuation was disrespectful to Mut and even discriminatory, but that doesn’t mean Mut will never be respected. I think it’s just part of the plot! Mut getting tested and proving he’s clean doesn’t mean Rak should skip his check-up. If they want safe sex, Rak should get tested too.
I remember when I first started driving at 16, my mom always warned me to be careful because some people drink and drive irresponsibly. That didn’t mean she only cared about others’ drinking and driving and not whether I was driving responsibly.
Sometimes characters don’t need to spell everything out. As the plot develops, many ideas become clear naturally.
If by the end of the story, Mut is still being discriminated against and treated poorly, then Mame, as the author, might have some explaining to do.
But for now? Everything is still unfolding. Characters are developing, and the story is playing out.
This BL series has me buzzing for future roles with Winny and Satang, and of course, Aou and Boom in the lead.
Remember Winny’s cameo in “Still 2gether”? He had that memorable showdown with Sarawat at the music competition. Fast forward to “We Are,” and he’s finally the leading man. In the insanely competitive Thai BL scene, landing a lead role with a great script is like hitting the jackpot.
But the real twist is that my favorite, Poon, with his ridiculously good-looking face, still doesn’t get enough screen time. Even with a love interest, it’s like they’re keeping him in the background.
I started watching this comedy BL series for laughs, but the non-consensual (NC) scenes really threw me off. No matter if you’re Gen X or Gen Z, consent is non-negotiable. Terms like bodily autonomy and respect for boundaries are key in any story.
It seems the vampire world’s love restrictions are a metaphor for societal oppression, trying to reflect issues like systemic control and personal freedom.
The show also idealizes human society, positioning it above the vampire world. This highlights the contrast between oppressive systems and idealized freedoms but downplays the severity of NC.
Joe and Patrick, as vampires, might lack the concept of consent, even though they navigate the human world. This raises questions about cultural norms and ethical standards across different societies.
While we express our disdain for NC scenes, it’s crucial to keep advocating for consent and respectful representation in media. Let’s champion stories that prioritize consent and mutual respect.
Kohei’s mom’s hangover means no bento, giving him an excuse to dodge Taichi.
Kohei tries to avoid Taichi by keeping his head down, even when Taichi greets him. Taichi, knowing Kohei can’t hear from behind, runs ahead to block his path.
This BL series nails the details. The basketball scene with Kohei and Taichi is smooth, with no choppy edits, and the actors genuinely playing ball.
The basketball transition perfectly symbolizes Kohei moving toward Taichi, which is the best metaphor in the show.
