Thai BL's are at a low.. I've dropped this, Future and Chains of Heart in the past 2 days.

March-April is a weak period for Thai BL's and this is right up there for the worse BL's of the year next to chains of heart.

I do the same... I review and rate series as they go along not only when they are finished. if I'm disappointed throughout I usually lower my ratings.

an 8.3 wow ? if this is deserving of an 8.3 by Thai BL standards... I must say.. I see why Thai BL's have made it so far globally.....

I'm a Ken-Lue stan. I felt no connection to Din in this entire show and making Din be Lue literally ruins any type of connection for me.

so you want someone who is watching a show to only review and comment on it if it's a positive review ? ok thanks I'll know for future reference :)

this show is literally making NO NOISE... its so lackluster

enough time has passed that I can admit I'll rewatch Fish Upon the Sky before I rewatch this.

well one of the leads died in brokeback mountain and I was fine with it lol

I understand people wanting a happy ending but honestly even if there isn't I won't hate the show because of it.. not every lgbtq story ends in happiness and that's the reality of it.. brokeback mountain didn't end happy.. call me by your name didn't end happy but they won numerous awards and became masterpieces. I think once it fits the plot and makes sense. I don't need a couple to end up together.. because sometimes that's more real than them sailing happily into the sunset.

let me get this straight ? you think Thai BL's portray more realistic relationships than Korean BL's do ? interesting point to say the least. I would actually say the opposite and that's the beauty of opinions... I think Thai BL's are a lot of fluff and a lot of the plots are not applicable to the real world while KBL and JBL's feel like they touch on more realistic scenarios.

not sure but this happens to all korean BL's so there has to be a reason for it. Blueming has a 8.1 / To My Star has a 8.1 as well.. and I do agree that MSP and Moonlight Chicken deserve high ratings over 8.0 but I do think thai BL fans are more rabid than KBL fans the fan service industry in both countries are miles apart so the dedicated fanbase would clearly have more power to push the thai shows ahead of MDL

viki ratings are ridiculously high because most of the people on there are general consumers and not rabid fans... so I think they more rate series between a 8 to 10... most low rated series would have a 8 rating and the good ones will have 9.5 and over. I've never seen one with a 9.9 though.. but yes... MDL ratings are very important for fan clubs especially those with active ships and big fanbases like fourthgemini and earthmix.. there fans have discords and private telegram groups where they spam vote and do a lot of stuff... it's part of the gmmtv mold so it's not surprising.

yes there are two directors.. one german and one korean

The Eight Sense has a 9.9 rating on IMDB and a 9.9 rating on Viki. really happy to see the international audience giving this critical acclaim.

This having a 9.9 rating on VIKI but a 8.1 on here says all we need to know about the toxic thai fans who like to downvote korean BL's to give ''thailand '' on top... our dating sim has a 8.1. shoulder to cry on has a 7.8 but my school president has a 8.6 and moonlight chicken has a 8.4 lol

oh I agree... I do think thai BL FANS spam dislike to keep korean shows low... but thank God MDL isn't respected for ratings.. because how could moonlight chicken has a 8.4 but this have a 8.1 ? my school president has a 8.6. it makes no sense. it has a 9.9 rating on viki though.. don't think I ever saw a BL that high on viki

I would say the major part of why this is shining so much is because there is European input rather than a solely korean director. There are heavy european elements in this show that pulls references from shows like Skam and Skins. the intricacies of European filmmaking is quite evident in this show.

would we say the quality is better because there is european input rather than a korean director alone ? the intricacies of european filmmaking is quite evident in this show.
