I need to do a spoiler-free post first, then I will let y'all know my opinion on this infamous episode 3 in more detail.

I found the episode a bit disappointing. Why? Up to that point they had made a big deal about Type's childhood issues but they didn't bring them back here. There were some hints but it was not the kind of depth I was expecting after how great Episode 2 was....

However, the eroticism, the acting of both leads, the fast pacing, etc. all help make up for the lack of character development.

This show reminds me a bit of how J-Dramas setup their leading man to be cold and unlikable but you end up shipping the leads because they are so cute together.

Overall, episode 3 gets a 3.5/5 from me. Episode 2 would probably be a 5/5 and Episode 1 a 4/5.

I hope episode 4 explains more of what's going on in both character's heads!

I sometimes think there is something wrong with me that I find him hot because frankly, he is not that pretty.... He just has something I like and I can't tell what it is...

I am a weird guy LOL

I can't wait for A Tale Of Thousands Stars. I look forward to Earth taking his shirt off. I know it will happen. You will see! :)

I am sure you probably know that Earth has a new BL drama in which he will be the LEAD man? Let's see how he does... White will be in it to and I am secretly hopping he gets to kiss Earth for real haha but well White is not playing his love interest.

I think I am going to agree here with you 120% that Earth should take his shirt off and jump into the river in this new BL he is going to do. He can pull it off.

BTW White is one guy who I think is hot but I can never figure out why... Is it his hair? Is it his smile? is it his personality? He is also the one guy that could take his shirt off for me, look all flabby, and I will still think its hot :) haha

I agree 100% about God and Earth. I forgot about Earth... He has that smoking hot look to him.

I disagree with your assessment of Ohm. I think Ohm could pull it off now. In He's Coming To Me, he has a scene where he doesn't have anything except his underwear and I think my eyes popped out when I saw him :)

I assume you have the same issue with Ohm that I have with Captain. I agree Captain is a good looking dude but I saw him first on LS1, and I can't get over the fact that he (in my head) is still a kid. With Ohm, I didn't see him on MIR until after I had seen him in HCTM so I had not seen the MIR 1 Ohm who is undernourished LOL

Another thing is that Ohm can pull it off b/c he is such a good actor. I think Tay is such a sweet, nice, guy that he has a hard time being anything but a good, sweet, next-door-type boy. Is like asking that kid who played Per in LS, Sing, to do that pool scene. Sing is so goofy looking that even though he is a great actor, he just wouldn't pull it off IMO (Well, he could but it would be hilarious and even he would laugh probably. Sing is funny as hell). He is also not that great looking either, but my point is that this is a mix of looks and acting. You gotta have both. Tay has one but not the other.


Did you watch 3 Will be free? I haven't so I don't know how Tay did on that one.

OK. So all I have to do is go to their twitter account? Thanks!

Do post them here thought, because some may not know hot to find them.

Thanks!

We should do a separate post about what is it about Tay that is so hot. :) I am curious to hear other people's opinions !

But I am with you, I find Tay hotter than Mew. I actually think Tay is hotter than Gulf, although I think Gulf is hotter than Mew.

I haven't watched KMA, though I probably will after DBK is done. Episode 1 really set up an interesting story but in episode 2 the plot went downhill. First, I didn't like how jealous Pete was or how mean he was to Kao. He is a toxic boyfriend, texting him all the time, being pushy and just rushing him and stressing him out. Second, I am not sure the Sun/Mork plot is original at all. Perhaps it is because I didn't watch KMA, but I also find all the subplots to be kind of confusing.

As far as the pool scene, I sort of agree with you that it felt awkward. I took it as first as being funny but then when he gets on the trampoline and jumps, the way the scene was shot made it look like it was supposed to be hot IDK maybe it was not supposed to be funny then?

I saw Tay Tawan first in OffGun Fun Night and I thought he was cute and hot. I think he has a pretty face, a cute personality and I don't know what it is about his mouth that I like but I do like it (his smile?). While I think he is hot, and I don't mind when they showed his, ehmm, derrière, I don't think he has the kind of body that will melt girls and gay boyz when he takes his shirt off. Interestingly, I think that New could pull that off, have you seen New without a shirt? He has a very good body (Google him!). I don't find New attractive but if he took his shirt off in front of me, my eyes would pop out for sure :) His arms alone are kind of nice. (Why don't I find him hot? IDK I think its b/c he is so pale and he has a baby face)

In regards to TharnType, I most be one of the few people who finds Type VERY attractive while I find Tharn just OK. Tharn reminds me of the typical J-drama leading man, hot in a cool kind of way. He is handsome but he is not that great looking IMO. Type on the other hand has that bad boy but wounded-puppy kind of look to him that I personally find irresistible.

Bottom line: I am going to keep watching this show for a couple more episodes but I hope they steer away from the childish jealousy stuff or I might stop watching. And on Tay Tawan hotness, I agree he is hot but not the take-your-shirt kind of hot.

BTW Who is a take-your-shirt kind of hot in Thai BL? I am going to say New and Ohm Pawat (based on googling images of them!). I do admit, I saw Ohm Pawat in He's Coming to Me and I found him incredibly sexy, smoking hot, and very likeable. He also has a nice body to boot.

I don't have twitter. Could someone post the linetv links for ep 3 when they are available?

Interesting!Thanks for the insight! I agree that Gun and Off should not probably do any more BLs as couples but IDK, I personally would be willing to watch them play a BL couple again!

I think the problem with them playing another couple is not me getting bored as much as it would just be hard to find them believable... Like when they fight as a couple, you know they don't hate each other... :)

Oh well, Gun's next show listed here is actually the second season of gifted so who knows... But with the strong chemistry he has with Off, I doubt they will not do BL again...

Ohm Pawat has a new series coming out in 2020 with Krist and it is also a straight one. I hope Ohm does not go down that road, 'cause its going to kill me to loose another great actor to straight roles.

If Singto and Ohm leave BL, that would only leave us with Gun Atthaphan as the only good, leading man, that can cry, and get you on the feels and act for real IMO

Waiting for ep 3. Please post the linetv links!

Do you think that kissing him in the neck to give him a hickey is a violation of consent? I feel like it is bad but not quiet that bad. I once was in a situation in which a guy gave me all these hickeys, we were both drunk, so when I woke up the next day I was livid (keep in mind, we were also intimate that night). Things didn't get any better when I confronted the guy, so in the end I was mad at him but more for his unapologetic attitude than for what he did, because in that case I wanted the intimacy part but I did not want all the hickeys. I hate hickeys!

If they follow the Korean version this will be set in HS. So Perawat as a high schooler in yet another straight role? I am not that interested... If I do watch, it will be for Sing... :)

I was wondering what that was about

Good point! I am loving this one because of the potential here for great character development. This could easily be better than ToL... I mean, the acting and production will never be at the level of ToL but the story could be better...

I agree. After watching a couple of brazilian movies that left me nearly traumatized, I mostly see American TV and movies as lame... Game of Thrones is pretty lame :)

Ok. I exaggerated a bit. A brazilian movie like Pixote (which traumatized me to some degree) is not for the faint of heart....

But this show is not for the morality police or the judgemental. :)

What Tharn did at the end of episode 1 was bad but in order for him to do what he wanted to do (I assume that he wanted to give Type a lesson by leaving some marks on his body), he needed to kiss him forcefully like that. But he didn't take things any farther, and I think he may have gotten carried away by the fact that Type was just laying there, too tempting for him, but he stopped himself and didn't go all the way...

At least that's what I got from episode 2.

I think people are too quick to judge.

Also people forget this is a Thai BL, a lakorn, and slap/kiss is a huge trope in Thai lakorns. (I do hope this is not the case here. I hope BOTH characters EVOLVE)

No, I think ppl need to not rush to judgment and keep watching and deliver any judgment after all 12 episodes are aired.

Episode 2 was much better than episode 1 and I can start to understand how Episode 1's ending will probably play out in the whole context of the show.

But this show is not for the faint of heart, thats for sure!!!
