His facial expressions legit look something straight out of a serial killer documentary - smiles at the most inappropriate…
Yeah, but I have a thing for serial killers. I have a lot of things. The smiles at the wrong times is the touch of crazy. The one I love the most of far is that look he had when he's undressing Tinn, just before he unzips his pants. There is something in the way he moves his eyes and the way he holds himself. Another look is in the 2nd ep preview when he is talking to Tinn at the very end of the preview. So much going on behind those eyes, and I internal scream and can't wait for next week.
I am not gonna lie, I will forgive this drama a LOT just to keep watching Charns facial expressions.
I've seen a lot of people say that Charn is disgusting and evil, and I agree to some point, but not entirely. Obviously something happened to twist him this way, but even now he isn't completely evil. He KNOWS the victims won't get justice against the perpetrators, so the least he can do is make them pay and set the victims up financially. Regardless, I love watching this type of character. Highly intelligent, twisted, emotionally damaged, and a touch of crazy. I want to know how he got that way, and I love watching villains fall in love.
I can put up with a lot from this show. Weak writing. Questionable acting. Off kilter pacing. I am drawing the line at all you have to do is wish away your hearing loss. WTH? If it were that easy, why hasn't everyone done it? It completely blows the entire premise of the show, and ruins any immersion I had. I'm going to watch the rest of the show, but I'm not happy about it.
"When you lie to your boyfriend while arranging to go on a date with another man, you are then a liar and a cheat"
Every time I agree to meet someone is a date? Would it have been different if he had agreed to meet his female co-worker friend?
Your premise is flawed. I've met with lots of people in public just the two of us and it wasn't a date. It was not a date for Tai, he was keeping a promise to someone he views as a nong. He's made it plain to Patts he has no romantic feelings for Lomfon. Lomfon tried to find answers by approaching Patts, but Patts wasn't receptive. I blame Patts for that. He is the eldest and he could have been more understanding and empathetic to Lomfons confusion. Lomfon has no choice but to go to Tai next. Could he have done it differently? Yes. But I chalk that up to he's young and not just a little confused.
Watching the trailer and the concept centers on a variety show, so it looks to me they have translator pieces…
I can handle a trope fest, I'm a sucker for a lot of them. But when I say I'm easy, I mean it. I'm currently slogging through Future. I liked Love Mechanics, but this is a disaster! I can handle the guy who plays Ana, but the actor for Fuse is annoyingly bad. Also, we go from I wish I had a relationship to few days later we're deeply in love? I worry more about that than I do age gaps.
So Mew will be speaking Thai while everyone else is speaking Korean? And we're not supposed to notice? wtf? lol…
Watching the trailer and the concept centers on a variety show, so it looks to me they have translator pieces in their ears. I am willing to suspend my line of disbelief because it looks really cute and Korean dramas tend to have a higher production quality than a lot of Thai BLs and I'm easy. As long as the subs are half way decent, I can put up with a lot.
Yeah, but we can't figure why, so we're taking the hit so other people don't have to.
I know not everyone thinks the same. Which is why I can't understand why so many still like Check Out. I'm known for setting the bar low, some people bring a shovel.
I know this is coming out before Middleman’s Love because of filming. Does that mean that they’re changing…
I was wondering more about the tone. This one looks pretty sophisticated, and Middlemans Love seemed more fluffy. Especially when Tommy and Jimmy were involved. I'm wondering if the tone will change since the cast did. I hope so, it would look really odd otherwise.
Can somebody tell me if this is good? I'm super bored and in deep lack of good BLs to watch! Thank you ♥
It's watchable. It will never make a top 100 list, but if you're super bored, go for it. I made it to episode 10, so I'm going to finish, even though I wish it were over already. I will say if you watched Check Out, it's better than that.
What are you guys even talking about. I've watched the clip more than a few times and am not seeing what inter…
People seem to be under the misconception that BL = accurate representation of gay life and is always LBGT+. It isn't, it never was.
For those who are new to the subject, BL is the modern term for YAOI, and derives from a genre called Shounen Ai. In the 70s, Shounen Ai (also known as Tanbi or June) was used to describe a specific type of shoujo manga featuring romantic relationships between two boys. It was for women, by women. It was a very specific style as well, think romantic love in the age of chivalry, idealized and doomed. It was a way to explore relationship dynamics without the power imbalance between men and women so prevalent at the time in Japan.
Because there was very little sex in these first works (since they were professionally published works) we in the west used Shounen Ai as a way to characterize works that focused on the romantic side that centered more on emotions and plot. However, in the late 70s, early 80s, a new term was coined to describe works mostly by armatures creating mostly derivative works (dojinshi) that focused primarily on sex to the exclusion of plot. YAOI is an acronym for yama nashi, ochi nashi, imi nashi ("no climax, no point, no meaning"), and so we in the west used that in the same way. Shounen AI for romance with little or vague descriptions of sex, and Yaoi for Plot? What Plot? (Or lemons for those of us coming from the LJ crowd) and graphic sex. Japan dropped the official term of Shounen Ai because of the same reasons we took so long to pick up the BL moniker, it's associations with pederasty (for those that don't know, there is an official organization that advocates pedophilia that uses the term Boy Love in its title).
So this isn't to say that BL's can't actually be representative of actual gay life, but I am saying that BL is a specific genre that is geared primarily to straight women and are not necessarily representative of actual LGBTQ+ experience.
There can be 2 meanings. Check out is the phrase we use when we leave a hotel or other facility to show we are no longer there. To physically or mentally leave a place. It can also mean physically access someone for physical attractiveness.

But yeah, I don't date everyone I socialize with.
