i hate to be that person because i genuinely love aouboom and it’s been ages but i’m still so disappointed…
As much as i would've loved Ohm in this show, i feel like it would've been a pain to watch him every episode, solely because his partner was not a good match.
I can't remember his name but Ohm was definitely on a whole other level, and I feel like watching that guy struggle to meet Ohm in terms of acting would've made the show awkward.
Whereas AouBoom are quite similar and comfortable with eachother, which will probably make this a better watch, imo...
I agree with you on the low quality but I don't think they will lose the momentum. gmmtv CEO has a marketing mind,…
I think GMMTV went towards the route of oversaturation, akin to fast fashion, people consume it all and quickly because they're looking for a rush. But now it's not only Thailand's market that is oversaturated, other countries are also producing bls left and right. I think when people have way too much choice, they will either go towards higher quality (so not GMMTV) or more extreme (like China or Japan's more toxic, twisted storylines). GMMTV has shown they're willing to go towards darker/mature concepts recently (like Only Friends or the Heart Killers ), but even with good premises they all end up a bit silly or sickly sweet which is a turn off for many based on the critiques... I really hope they move on to produce more quality content as viewers expectations rise but hiring rookie actors and staff has kind of been their trademark so my hopes aren't up.
Going from this back to GMMTV shows will be rough... Thailand is proving they can actually offer good quality gay stories, yet GMMTV with all its budget and presence still opts for mediocrity :/
After a decade of watching BL shows I am so tired of their cheap productions... and now that China has entered the game, I think there's a chance they will lose momentum, anyone feels the same?
Kevin is convincing but the actor playing Siyeol has such a blank stare... He gives off the vibe he's just a model forced to play in a BL,, Hopefully this changes once his character actually falls for Aejun
he’s been heavily black listed because of a bullying scandal, but in his case it turned out that it was just a fight and that the ‘victim’ and him were both just 10 years old…
Let's be real this show has the worst writing ever and equally bad acting, poor Pavel who had to compose with a stiff, emotionless partner and a terrible script...
Willy was the most interesting role here and they couldn't even flesh out his story because of the hordes of side characters! Milk worked well with how little he was given, I wish him a protagonist role with a good director soon
Sounds silly, I didn't start watching this series and I fear snakes . will there be any problem for me to watch…
There's quite a lot of snakes (including dead/cut ones), especially when Wu Suo Wei goes training to be a snake breeder. You might want to skip scenes where "Mr. Wang" is involved, he's the owner of the breeding farm. I do think past episode 5 the snakes won't be shown as much since Chi Cheng gets involved more romantically with Wu Suo Wei.
If you want me to spoil the snake scenes so you can skip them without missing out on the story let me know!
literally had to do a double take after seeing BL and China in one place. is it really bl? or like "censored adaptation…
It's a Chinese bl released outside of China so it doesn't need to pass censorship laws! But they also don't make as much revenue through this type of distribution hence the lower quality than what you might be used to with regular Chinese productions
