The writing was sharp, the acting phenomenal, and I'm still stunned that both leads are considered rookies, especially William in his debut. Their performances felt genuine, more than acting; they captured the raw emotion of each scene with a depth that really surprised me, even after reading the book.
so i watched all the released eps and it's generally okay i guess. i mean it's cute, it has handsome people, decent…
MARS is T-pop group. T-pop culture is heavily influenced by K-pop, with a significant portion of the Thai young population, actively following Korean music, fashion, and beauty trends, largely due to the presence of popular Thai K-pop idols like Lisa from Blackpink, NCT's Ten and GOT 7's BamBam, which has boosted the Korean Wave's popularity in the country. However, the success of K-pop is pushing the Thai entertainment industry to develop its own "T-pop" scene with a focus on producing high-quality music and contents (like K-pop).
Based on that fact, even though T-pop is now spreading regionally (and globally), they are still seeing K-pop as the blueprint standard.
Oner entertainment (in this case - in the story) is pushing THAME to go to Korea to boost his career and to be the next K-pop superstar (maybe hoping the same result like BLACKPINK's LISA - in terms of success, fame and money. She's the standard of Thai artist success through K-pop and now globally. With her massive popularity thanks to K-pop, she's now becoming "ambassador" of her country ).
Whoever is misunderstanding and criticizing Po's behaviour and ignores him as a character,sidelines his point…
Tbh after reading, "novel Po character" is fiercer. I read it in native language also in english fan-translated version. Both version capturing the essence of Po character - more fierce and not really subtle.
But hey! I love both Po in the novel and Est's Po in the series!! I can't wait to see the Est's Po after episode 10 - which is crucial in the story IYKYK
After Pepper ended his speech, the fans were clapping and shit bro. Why were they even happy in the first place.…
IRL ppl were doing it too. They might not clap after the press con, but they clap after statement from the company in the social media saying the relationship of xxx and xxx is just a friend.
Also fans like Fern are so many. In the show, Fern has Po who smack her head and send her back to reality because Po is working in the industry - but IRL, how many Fern out there destroying someone's career just because that someone, the idol, is having a GF/BF?
Parasocial relationships—where fans feel deeply connected to idols or celebrities who don’t even know they exist—can get unhealthy if they blur the line between admiration and obsession. It can lead to emotional dependence, unrealistic expectations, and sometimes intrusive behavior.
It’s cool to admire and support your favorite artist, but fans also need to maintain boundaries and a sense of reality. Healthy fan culture should be about positive engagement, celebrating the artist’s work, and being inspired without losing sight of your own identity and well-being.
Love your idol(s) but keep your feet on the ground. Support their journey, but remember idol(s) are human too.
I don't understand why the hate? I find the story is OK and the acting is standard level of BL actor (you know what I mean ). If the hate is based on actor's private life rumors (ie: he has a gf), man! what year is it?! it's ridiculous.

Disturbing fact indeed

I hope this show can be an eye opener for many.
