I'm sorry It's gonna be "controversial" because I feel like sometimes BL fans in general can be a little too forgiving…
Absolutely! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Your perspective on criticisms within BL fandoms is really interesting. I agree that holding actors accountable for their performances is important for maintaining the quality of BL shows. Constructive criticism can definitely help actors improve and elevate the overall viewing experience. What I meant to say with toxic is that sometimes people unfairly criticize actors just because the storyline didn't unfold the way they wanted. They might claim an actor can't act simply because their character wasn't portrayed as they hoped, or because the story didn't have the happy ending they desired. It feels like they're judging the drama solely based on whether it aligns with their personal expectations. But that's not fair to the actors, who might be doing a great job despite the story not going in the direction some viewers wanted. It's crucial to consider all aspects of the drama, not just whether (for example) it ended happily or not when assessing the performances.
It's quite common for folks who aren't feeling a character to end up saying negative things about the actor playing that role. Sometimes, it's just a knee-jerk reaction to not liking how the character is portrayed. People can be pretty toxic about BL shows, and that can spill over into criticism of the actors themselves. Like he is too feminine, cannot act, and looks uncomfortable But hey, everyone's got their "own" take on things, right?
Exactly! Let's take a closer look at Billy and Babe's chemistry. Despite claims that Babe can't act, just observe Tharn's meaningful glances at Phaya, the impactful kiss in episode 3, the dream sequence in episode 4, and the intense kiss in episode 5—Babe's absolutely killing it! And you know what? Babe nails Tharn's uncertainty around Phaya perfectly. I've been there, feeling torn between emotions and projecting distance due to insecurities. Babe's portrayal feels real and hits the mark. But hey, if some folks see it differently, that's their prerogative. It all boils down to how individuals connect with the characters and their emotions. We all have our unique perspectives, right? And personally, I'm not sensing the discomfort some people mention.

Understanding Tharn's stubbornness isn't hard for me. Picture this: imagine being told you're bad luck from the moment you're born, but nobody bothers to explain why. That's Tharn's reality. He's been carrying around this label without knowing where it came from or who decided it.
Then, there's the revelation that he's a Naga, some mystical creature, but he only finds out after his boyfriend comes back from the dead. And to add to the confusion, his closest friend might actually be his enemy and the one who killed his loved ones. That's a lot to process.
What makes it worse is that everyone he trusts seems to know his true identity and history, but they're keeping it from him. They've let him stumble around in the dark, relying on half-truths and incomplete information for years.
Given all that, it's no wonder Tharn is stubborn. carry the weight of his past without any real understanding. It's a tough situation for anyone to be in and he also has his Premonitions
Tharn's stubbornness isn't just about defiance; it's a coping mechanism in the face of overwhelming challenges. His reluctance to trust and his insistence on holding onto his beliefs stem from a place of deep-seated hurt and confusion. So I do understand his actions.
They mentioned in ep 3 that Wansarat liked to enter the human world in a male form. That’s why Babe acted as…
It provides a fascinating perspective on Phaya's experiences and perceptions throughout the series. The revelation that Phaya saw Tharn in Wansarat from the beginning adds a layer of depth to their connection and underscores the significance of their relationship. By framing the story from Phaya's point of view, We gain insight into the intricate workings of their emotions and memories, revealing the profound impact of their bond across lifetimes.

@Googaloola: This is also true but Babe said in the BTS the reason why we are seeing Tharn and not Freen is because it is from Phaya's POV Remember in EP3 when he was dreaming he said to Tharn that he dreamed about Wansarat again but this time it had Tharn's face. It just clicked for me He always saw Tharn in Wansarat from the beginning....Wow clearity!!
I don’t get why people are still asking to explain why Phaya got out of the hospital and went for s3x with Tharn. So imagine that the love of your life (who died in your arms) 4 lifetimes ago is so close and you just came back to life after having to go through seeing her dying again what would you do if that person opened the door alive and healthy? I would do exactly the same as Phaya no explanation needed.
