i'm certainly not saying it shouldn't exist, because obviously while it might not be for me and while i personally think the script was weak, i can acknowledge that it was loved by many people. i guess my point is that while you say "it might not be the best" it is certainly now rated as the best, which was my confusion in the first place.

i watched the series. i don't think duang's character has any depth – his most prominent personality trait throughout the series is that he likes qin – while the resolution of qin's conflict with his parents was poorly managed in my opinion. both of the characters felt very flat to me, like they were tropes without substance. i also understand that the main reason qin likes duang is his consistency but he really goes from 0 to a 100 and stays there. there is no development of his feelings for qin. i don't really seek shows to be relatable to my own experiences or even aspirational so that doesn't factor into my appreciation of them, but i can tell this show is important to you and honestly that's great and not something i would ever argue against. we have different perspectives and that's fine, i just wanted to express my own.

i'm sorry but i don't need to take my moral education from bl or indeed any series i watch/books i read. i don't think that is the point of entertainment OR art, unless we all want to go back to the middle ages when religious art existed to "educate" the masses. i am looking at this merely from a storytelling perspective and personally i feel like this series was not well crafted in that department. also i would disagree with you on this being the "only emotionally intelligent bl" but once again i don't think that necessarily makes a good story. that's all.

this is the first time that i feel just utterly confused by the overall rating of a series. for me this was a sometimes cute yet still very mid show with poor character development and very little narrative tension. i can understand that people found it sweet and that some of these character archetypes just aren't for me, and that's fine! i acknowledge that i am not the target audience for dwy. but the fact that this is now the highest rated thai bl on this website is absolutely crazy to me. i don't usually care about numbers and i'm aware that scores here have gotten inflated with time (new bls are more likely to have high ratings than older ones) but this one still shocked me. and tbh i am now concerned about what this means in terms of the future of the industry, if this is the kind of storytelling that audiences think is top-tier...

hwang da seul you want to write and direct another bl so bad 🌀🌀
