Are you kidding? There’s a difference between a BL series with mature or intimate scenes and actual porn. Porn is made specifically for explicit sexual content, while BL is a scripted drama with a storyline, character development, cinematography, and professional actors.

You can dislike certain scenes or feel they were too sexualized, but dismissing the entire series and the actors’ work by calling it “soft porn” is unfair.

Treat people the way you want to be treated. Toptap and Min are professional actors who have spent years training and working hard to build their careers. You reduce all of that to “porn” because there happens to be a love scene? So how do you think those actors feel when you dismiss their work as “PORN”? They’re trained actors performing in a television series, not porn stars.

Please learn the difference before throwing that label around.

So by your logic, are the hundreds of BL actors in series listed on MDL that include sex scenes are all"porn" too? If your answer is no, then you've already acknowledged there's a difference. If your answer is yes, then you're mislabeling an entire genre of television and thousands of professional actors simply because their roles include intimacy.

Think about that before replying.

Do you know how to read? I literally gave you examples and explained the point in an entire paragraph, yet you completely ignored what I actually said and reduced it to “porn star = loss of position.”

I never said being a porn star is shameful, nor did I say sex work has less value than any other profession. You’re arguing against something I never said.

The point is about Bank’s personal journey and how he views his own downfall. He spent years desperately chasing fame, status, and becoming an actor. He committed terrible acts and hurt people because he was obsessed with achieving that higher social position. His identity was built around that goal, and ultimately he lost everything he worked so hard to obtain.

Becoming a pornstar represents the drastic change in his circumstances and the fact that he ended up living a life completely different from the one he had spent years pursuing. The profession itself is not the shame or the punishment.

It’s exactly like the example I already gave: someone works their way from a regular staff member to a manager and eventually a restaurant manager, only to lose their position and return to being a regular staff member. That doesn’t mean being a staff member is shameful. The “downfall” is losing the position, identity, and status they spent years building.

So no, I’m not sex shaming. You’re simply misunderstanding the symbolism and ignoring the context I already explained.

Before he died, Songphon, the old evil man, called him and said, “I prepared everything for you.”

Songphon sent his men to pick him up and then had him shot to silence him because he knew too many secrets.

Remember in episode 2 when he walked into Dream Building and had hundreds of fans outside waiting for him, all so excited and happy to see him? Now he’s not going to get that kind of treatment anymore.

That’s why, to me, this is definitely a downfall. Yes, he probably sold his body to make his way up, but look at where he is now. He’s doing porn, and once those videos get leaked, I don’t think his fans will support him anymore. He went from having hundreds of fans cheering for him to potentially losing everything. So for me, this is definitely a downfall.

I love KeenSea so much, but why are all their series set in high school? Only Boo!, MeTuLuv, Head 2 Head, and now this one. This is their FOURTH high school series 😭

My boys are never graduating high school at this point lol. They’re going to be 40 still wearing school uniforms 😂

I’ll definitely watch this one because I love them, but honestly, I’m really hoping they get another genre next time. Give my boys an office, mafia, historical, anything! 😭

I wouldn’t call our two main leads red flags. But just a heads up, this series does have some really evil characters who are involved in killing and SA. Don’t worry though, it’s the evil characters doing it, not our main leads.

You’re missing the point. The series is not about shaming sex work or saying being a pornstar is something to be ashamed of. A career is a career, and every person’s work has its own value.

The point is about Bank’s journey and downfall. He worked extremely hard, but he also committed terrible acts and hurt many people in pursuit of fame, status, and becoming an actor. He built his entire identity around achieving a higher social position, only to have everything taken away from him.

His becoming a pornstar is not portrayed as shameful because of the profession itself. The symbolism is that he went from chasing a prestigious image and a powerful status to being forced into a completely different life that he never imagined for himself.

It’s like someone who works hard to rise from staff member to manager, then restaurant manager, only to lose everything and return to being a regular staff member. The issue is not that being staff is bad; the issue is the loss of the position, identity, and status they spent years building.

Sometimes you work so hard to achieve your status, and along the way you do terrible things to get there. He chose to do evil and even killed an innocent person. Then one day, he lost everything. He lost his acting career, his status, and his fame, and ended up becoming a porn star, the worst possible job he could have imagined, something he never intended to do. In some ways, living like that can feel worse than death.

For me, a better outcome would have been for him to go to prison for the crimes he committed. In court, he could have argued that Songphon forced him to do it and threatened to kill him if he refused, so he might have received a reduced sentence. Even so, I think the ending he got was fitting. Seeing him cry and suffer was satisfying because he lost everything!

The bunny scene follows the novel and the manhwa. Sun was in debt, so he worked hard to pay it off by taking on all kinds of jobs. One of those jobs was wearing a bunny costume to advertise for a company, which is a common marketing practice used by businesses around the world.
The bunny scene is also where Sun first meets Jay. It follows the original story from the novel and manhwa and has nothing to do with Thai audiences being interested in furry culture.

He had to buy the copyright to the song first, which took time. He had to meet with multiple people and fly to the US to complete the process.

How many additional GMMTV actors does Thee want to bring into the final episode?

In addition to PerthSanta and WilliamEst, it’s crazy that we already had TayNew, JimmySea, JuniorMark and ForceBook in Episode 4.

That’s the first time we’ve had 7 GMMTV couples in one episode! And honestly, thank you to Thee’s chaotic demands for making it happen because we got to see all of them again. I missed them all so much! 😂❤️

So many people are already complaining about the kisses, but I think it's way too early to judge. Their first kiss happens when they're still high school students, so of course it's going to be awkward and innocent. They're teenagers who don't even know how to kiss yet, so expecting a mature, passionate BL kiss makes no sense. The second kiss is literally a dream sequence, so it shouldn't be treated the same as a real romantic moment. The series is also rated 18+ on iQIYI, and we still have plenty of episodes left. Relax, give the story time to develop, and let the characters grow before judging the entire series based on a couple of early kisses.

I usually avoid Japanese remakes of Thai dramas because they often feel lower budget and are much shorter, but this Japanese version completely changed my mind. I was hooked from the very first scene and already had butterflies. Ayuta is absolutely adorable as Hinata, perfectly capturing his kind and innocent personality, while Isshin nails Sora's cold yet protective charm. The biggest surprise for me was Oji, who completely stole every scene despite being a supporting character.

I also love that the remake isn't just copying the original. Small changes, like Sora carrying Hinata on his back instead of driving him, make the story feel fresh while keeping the heart of the fake relationship romance intact. If the series keeps making thoughtful changes like this, it could easily become my favorite Thai to Japanese remake.

A Love That Teaches History and Breaks Your Heart

This series is something truly special. It has given us more than the beautiful love between Tin and Prob. It has also opened a window into Thailand's history, taking us back to the early 1930s when ordinary people rose together to fight for freedom. Watching those celebrations, seeing the joy and hope on their faces, felt like witnessing history come alive. It was a lesson wrapped in emotion, reminding us that love and freedom have always been worth fighting for.

I completely broke down when Tin fell to his knees before his father, pleading for just one chance to see the man he loves. He reminded his father that he had spent his entire life being the son everyone expected him to be, doing everything that was asked of him. The only thing he ever wanted for himself was to be with the person he loved. That moment shattered my heart.

Then came the scene with his grandmother, and the tears started all over again. Tin was so certain she would be disappointed, ashamed, unable to accept him because he is gay. Instead, she embraced him with nothing but love and support. It was the exact opposite of what he feared, and it was one of the most beautiful moments of the series.

Both the confrontation with his father and the quiet comfort from his grandmother instantly reminded me of *Love in The Moonlight*. One31 has done it again. They know exactly how to reach into our hearts, break them into a thousand pieces, and somehow leave us hoping for more.

Now all I can do is pray that Tin and Prob are given the happy ending they so deeply deserve.

Never mind, I just finished Episode 7 and you were right! Grandma is so supportive. I love her so much! 🥹❤️

Yes, but I’m not sure how she will react once she finds out he’s gay. She is supportive of him finding another woman, but I’m hoping she will still be supportive once she knows who he truly loves. Fingers crossed! 🤞🏻

I don’t agree with the father, but I can’t completely hate him either. His reasons are somewhat understandable considering this is set in the early 1900s, when same sex relationships were still illegal and heavily frowned upon.

Luckily, he has two sons. I know Chat is pretty useless 😂 but at least he can carry on the family line if that’s what the father wants. Problem solved!,

Finally, a Smart Girl in a BL 😂👏

Rather than trying to break them apart, Siri actually supports them and tries to help them. She is so lovely and understanding!

We need more female characters like her in BLs instead of the usual girl who spends the entire series trying to break up our main couple.

Princess Siri, you have my respect! ❤️

Thank you for sharing! I didn’t read the novel or the manhwa, so maybe I would have a different perspective if I had. But based on the series itself, I absolutely loved it and gave it a 10/10.

I agree, let’s hope we get a special season or even a Season 2! 🙏🏻

I can see you liked it too, giving it an 8.5/10! What changes do you think would have made it a 10/10 for you?
