I agree with you about the fickle nastiness of fandom, and of course, we don't know what kind of issues there might have been between him and Net - but in all fairness, it was a bit more than that, as James ditched a pending production, thereby harming others. To me, that was selfish and irresponsible.
I dont pay attention to the actors/ships and I only watched Bed Friend last week LOL So he left his co star and a production at the same time? because that would make me think something serious went down with someone or some people. People are often selfish and irresponsible when they emotional explode over something lol

According to the Mandee announcement in February (below), James decided (at least officially) to quit in order "to focus on his career as an artist", which I understood to mean a music artist. At this point, he may be regretting that decision.
I've not seen any credible information about any specific falling out with Net; this is just my speculation to try to explain the inexplicable.

Decide for yourself: "You?" by JamesSu. [Click on the blue text to view MV.]
Wow. Interesting.His visuals will take him very far! He also has the fanbase to learn and grow i guess
Let him do what he feels will satisfy him creatively, as oppose to one career path in particular?
Absolutely. My problem is not with James having the freedom to choose his own path, which is (or should be) the good right of every actor, but rather that he ditched a pending production, thereby hurting others.
@P43425 that sounds like a very standard company response and that always makes me nervous LOL
Unless someone says something I guess a falling out is just pure speculation. But, the 'focus on being artist' kind of feels a little steely. Why not just say music? I remember when Jeff left boc, i believe they said he was going to focus on his music career, so unless its a translation issue, that makes me think that maybe James does't want to do BL's anymore? Artist is quite an all encompassing word. Let him do what he feels will satisfy him creatively, as oppose to one career path in particular?
I agree. At the time it sounded like he did not want to act in bls anymore. It seemed liked his pairing was rising in popularity as well. I thought it was a bit weird since he could do both music and acting but maybe he genuinely just just changed his interests. We will never know if there was more behind his decision.

Thats what makes me think that something went down behind the scenes LOL I guess I'm giving the benefit of the doubt here that an actor would abandon responsibilities and not think of his fans, esp in asian culture but, yeah, unless someone wants to say something, it's just speculation. It's the equivalent of an employee walk out. There's always a reason for doing so.
Looking at your PTW list ... hmmm ... "cute" and "nice" is clear, but what does Onyx mean by "quick burn"? If that means "moves along quickly with total runtime of 2-3 hours", I guess that rules out most Thai BLs, but I'll throw some in anyways.
So here are some ideas:
Emrys:
Fukou-kun wa Kiss Suru Shikanai!
From your ptw list, these are the most loved series I can come up with. I haven't seen most of the other titles in your ptw, but these are good enough to must watch. It depends on what you want at the moment, but they are short and nice. Happy watching!

I don’t know if you’re OK with currently airing dramas but sugar dog life is super cute. Seven out of 10 episodes of aired so far.
There's also Kieta Hatsukoi, if it's with you, I became the lead in a bl drama, a man who defies the world of bl s1 - s3, I cannot reach You, Mr. Unlucky has no Choice to kiss
Got 20 minutes to spare? This is a cute, short film: "Complicated" (Thailand, 2024) that I just posted about on my feed.
If you have 45 minutes to spare, the three-part series, "2nd Chance" (Thailand, 2024) is a cute watch.

I think we usually like similar shows-- so let me give this a try. I'm counting these all as quick-burn because they're short. Is that cheating? lol
