I'm actually scared to start season 2, I saw it was a different director and comments so far seem to say it doesn't live up to season 1 :(

there's this weird thing with asian series where you can never critique something because "the staff and actors worked really hard"... if you compare this series with what's been coming out lately the quality isn't there, plain and simple. I'm glad you're enjoying it but it's also okay for me to be objective about it lol

i'm sat

man this isn't very good is it? that bed scene felt like they didn't know whether to pick a sexy or a romantic vibe so they kept alternating between the two... apparently we're supposed to understand later everything that happened in ep. 1, like why they look like they're in love after seeing each other for 5 seconds, why they're FWB from their second meeting with no explanation... can somebody spoil me because I won't bother watching more of this

Have you seen gelboys? It's really nothing like regular Thai bls, the artistic direction and storyline are original, and the acting is very raw. It also has mini side stories just like A Winter Sun

thank you!

when does it airrr

it is also a known slur, you can take 3 secs extra for typing out the word

what year did they film this?? 😭

omg

the timeline in this drama has me so confused

Haha I agree, I definitely don't have that much time to spend on a tv series anymore either. But surely there's a just balance between the two extremes. Recent K-dramas average 10 1-hour episodes, I think that makes more sense especially for a detective story!

Ah it's hard to give recommendations that will live up to The Untamed, but I think exploring censored Chinese BLs might be a good option. They had to figure out ways to fully convey romance without skinship. I personally really enjoyed Guardian, as well as The Spirealm.

I just want to note that I enjoy NC too, it's just a different set of emotions. I also agree that the actors in The Prosecutor's Proposal did a great job with what they were given, especially Kim Yoon Sik. I was just taken out towards the end because they fell in love way too fast.

You guys know why The Untamed is my favorite BL? There are no kisses, barely any hug, most of all no NC... but the story was so fleshed out, the relationship progressed so naturally over those 50 episodes, that when you arrived at the end you could actually feel the love both leads had for each other, and it was beautiful.

These kinds of stories cannot be rushed. I'm fine with high school or university BLs having shorter run times, because puppy love is innocent, young people fall in love faster, it is believable. But two grown men, working on a major -and stressful- detective case, falling this hard after two one night stands? No, I do not believe it. I couldn't take any of their emotions seriously aside from lust, because at this stage that is all they should be feeling for each other, if we are being honest. I'm happy BL is moving on from the classic tropes to be in a bit more daring territory, but it is about time we get a proper runtime for a more fleshed out BL.

hmu when play me gets added to mdl pleasee

i see, thank you!

Is this very explicit? I want to watch it with a friend but if it's nonstop NC it might get awkward... or maybe if there's a censored version too?

I think they got inspired by this Japanese web series: https://youtube.com/shorts/i6N6pOdsb5o?si=OasE4dQcUs6vSa2D

The girls are always eavesdropping and giggling it's funny!

well damn i remember watching lovesick 12 years ago... how far we've come 🥹

the subs i had said 'we're doomed', which i think is more fitting for their situation
