I'm having trouble with Be Mine Superstar. Not really interested after 2 episodes. I love the guys, but this plot isn't pulling me in.

I don't remember now what finally gave me the idea that Athrit was actually the bottom. Was it something said in the second season? I don't know. But I know the entire first season, I thought Kong would be the "designated bottom." Of course, in real life, there is vers. Not sure that we often see that in bl, though. They like to have their roles.

I find it interesting that Thailand makes these profitable BL series but have not legalized gay marriage.

It wasn't so much that I wanted the kiss to begin passionately, I wanted to see where it got passionate. I do hope they give us some sense of that next episode. I can feel that Kawi cares very much for Pisaeng. I just haven't seen much proof that he's physically attracted to him. (Then again, several of you pointed out that he was more so when drunk.) So, I guess Kawi is worried about his first time. I hope Pisaeng realizes it's Kawi's first time. (Or things could go very wrong, lol.) I really liked the conversation between Max and Kawi. I wish they'd explored that a little more.

PS The entire time I watched Sotus, I thought Arthit was the "top."

Yes, to me A and K's relationship looked so weird. And almost the entire second season was about A's job--I began skipping through.

Every time I start to watch, I expect some angst to screw things up. But that really hasn't been the case. I hope that holds for episode 11.
I think what I wanted was for Kawi to admit to Pisaeng that he is nervous. That he hasn't been with anyone before. (It may not even be the fact that Pisaeng is a guy that is bothering him. I kind of imagine him doing the same with Pear.) On a more positive note, I really loved the expression on Kawi's face at the end before the kiss. It was when one of them took their shirt off. Wide-eyed and vulnerable.

I see your point but I feel that unless they do something more, such as Kawi voicing his concerns or something, it is not clear exactly what Kawi is feeling--could be either of the scenarios you mentioned. If ep 11 pretty much skips the rest of the scene after that tentative kiss, the director missed a good opportunity to show us what Kawi is feeling.

True, Kawi did show emotion toward Pisaeng before. I wish he had admitted his fear/uncertainty in this episode. That would have made sense.

I wrote out this whole reply and then realized I'm on the wrong page and was talking about a different show. (The MAME thing threw me. I thought, Be My Favorite is MAME??!) Lol.

He definitely bugged me, but I think the character is true to life. But the show as filmed beautifully, etc. Another one is Tale of 1000 Stars, imo.

I'd like to see him redeemed, but I don't think she should be with him.

He pushed her. What a jerk. She shouldn't have spoken to him after that, but maybe what she said will help change him for the better in the long run.

In the preview for ep 11, Pisaeng twists the music box again. That must do something to them.

This is why writers keep the leads apart for so long in many of these series.

Especially since the trailer showed Pisaeng playing with the music box again.

I want to know why Pisaeng is playing with it. He does it again in the next episode. I'm worried he'll mess them up.

The comments on ep 10 on YouTube are all so positive. I didn't hate the episode, but Kawi just doesn't seem into Pisaeng at all. If we're going to make it about Kawi being unsure about sleeping with a guy, then make it that. Explore it. But they skirt around that issue, and Kawi just comes out looking like he isn't interested and is maybe even grossed out at the prospect of sleeping with a man. A passionate kiss at the end of ep 10 would have gone a long way in making up for that---we would see that Kawi is attracted to Pisaeng and imagine they probably have good sex. But that isn't what we got, and I can't help but compare this to Sotus, which I didn't like. Sotus 2 was even worse--with Krist's character again coming off as someone who is trying his hardest not to kiss a guy even though Arthit and Kong were together by that point. I used to think the same about Singto, especially after seeing Paint with Love where the two main characters stood three feet apart even while kissing--even after they slept together, but then someone showed me a very passionate scene Singto did in another show that was very believable. If that's the case, it may not be Krist but the directors who are making the actors be so stiff and platonic in these scenes.

I am having trouble with this. It highlights the opinion I already had about Krist from Sotus, although it's probably just that he's playing another very reticent person. I didn't like Sotus--part of it was the hazing element, but another was Krist. Unlike so many, I didn't feel the chemistry between the two. I want to feel it here. Sort of feel it. But I just don't feel that Kawi is attracted to Pisaeng. Whether or not that's Krist's fault, I don't know.
