"Anyway I'm happy to face issues that exist in my country but you are overstating things by a large margin." Yes, I overstate the mass-shootings (every 12 minutes a human being is killed by a gun), the murdering of people by ICE, the exorbitant prices for food and of course the orange man has no control of nothing and Mr. Kimmel was not forced out (yet), but Mr. Colbert was - and no that had nothing to do with the orange man.. And no, not every european city would be as expensive as fucking NYC, because it depends on WHERE you live in Europe, but you have no idea, besides I doubt you have visited that many cities in Europe.

In the current political climate in the US: no. Disney/ABC have their pants shit because Kimmel said a joke... be serious.
It is a multi-billion thb industry for them and it is already a billion dollar industry especially with China. The problem with many us-americans is their narrow world-view. You can't even solve homophobia or rassism in your own country. Not to talk about gun violence - which every country solved, even Australia did it mostly after the xxth school-shooting (1996). In 2025 the goverment brought a gun-buy-back program to reduce firearms at all. So an US BL industry will not happen. You had the chance when "Queer as Folk (US)" aired in Cananda and the USA between 2000-2005. But of course that was not a BL, it was a queer series. Now we had to wait to 2025 for Heated Rivalary which is a mix between BL and queer. But even that does not improve gay life in your country with the open hostility especially against trans people.
If the fee is $1000 - nobody would go except the rich. And even if I were rich I would not go at all, especially not to thai fanmeets. Concerts are a different thing, because many of the actors are more singers than actors anyways.
The problem with poverty is not 5% or 10%, it's where it is... and you are not counting child poverty which is even higher. LS, MA, WV and DC (!) are over 15% and depending on where in the state it goes over 30% in certain areas. And speaking of rassism it affects people of any color more than whites.
You should move to europe and can feel rich and especially buy more for the same money. Or you could go to Thailand and live even more rich because you could afford more. But of course you can only buy a condo, not a house, because foreigners don't have the right to own property besides a condo. But you could lease the land and build a house.

Don't think they sponsor jewelery that much... and clothing is not that expensive... regardless they are rich compared to normal people in Thailand.
If if if... if they worked in the USA there is no BL industry at all... so, they would not work at all. Such a comparsion is nonsense.
You compare with your income vs. thai income. PPP for thailand is 27k/year, in the US it's 94k/year. So $240 is expensive for thais... and may not that much in the US. On the other hand the USA has the most homeless, the most 3rd world country areas (see UN report about Mississippi) who could not afford such things at all. When you also compare that the stuff you call food in your supermarkets are twice to trice as expensive than in Europe but at the same time of poorer quality...
Would I be DMD I would say: no thank you, there are tons of novels out...
It's nice that you can afford all that, but on the other hand millions of US-americans have to scrape by under the poverty line. For Thais such fanmeets, concerts and "benefits" are extremly expensive. And just because something is cheap in your world, does not mean it is for everyone else too.

haaee? You are a bit silly, you know... First: Thai BL Actors have fanmeets & concerts in the USA - despite that nobody sane would want to go there... Second: They have fanmeets & concerts in Australia, Brasilia, Argentina, Chile, Germany, Spain, France and so on... Third: The fanmeets/concerts there are as fucking expensive as in Thailand... with tickets and "benefits" up to €200/$237.
DMD is stupid, because that costs really a LOT of money to film there and completely unnecessary. The script will not be better because they film somewhere else. It will be the normal heteronormalized crap they always produce.
Thai BL actors are wealthy as it is, otherwise we would not see all the shopping sprees they do, buying expensive brand gifts to their partners including jewelery.
i was confused at first too but after understanding the ending i honestly don’t think it was that bad cause…
I understood what I saw... He wakes up back in school again, everything did not happen and he says "Dohyeon is mine". It was done the wrong way, I was unnecessary, especially because the dream comes from the side-story, which does not belong to the main story. The context was broken and that's why it's bad. He already did overcome his inferior complex, no need to focus on that again.
This wasnt in the original manwha. The "dream" was in the side story, and the ending itself WAS the dream,…
I know that now after reading some comments... But regardless of how it was meant they did it badly and it ruined the show. The dream should not exist... the side story could have been special episodes.
I can only rate what I see. And I saw a clusterfuck.They could have done that in a much much much better way,…
Nope. The result is the result. And what the author said is nice, but does not help. Especially if someone is viewing this outside of MDL, they will come to the same conclusion.
i don't want to try and change your feelings, rather just want to add some context since what you're expressing…
I can only rate what I see. And I saw a clusterfuck. They could have done that in a much much much better way, but they didn't. So I'm very sad for the actors who did a very good job even with the difficult scenes and the quite heavy nc-scenes. They suffer the most!
I agree! also I’m kinda pissed at the fact that they made eunho so mean to dohyun. like I hate the kinds of…
It's quite common in asian that one is mean... that is not the problem... he is mean first and then insecure later... not together. But that all dwarfes with the reveal of the dream... this was really one of the most unnecessary plot-twitst in BL history.
i was thinking the exact same thing! if the last few minutes where cut out, I would rate this drama higher. the…
It rated the drama already "HIGHER" - it really deserve a 0 - they ruined the story for NO GOOD FUCKING REASON!!! It makes me mad! WHY? Because Korea is a shithole country considering gay-rights? It's a clear case of queer-baiting! And I made it CLEAR in my review why the rating is as it is.

hmm... not really for me. With Suntiny I at least know what they wanted to do and failed with. And the phone recordings were good, regardless of the rest :)

Not my fault :p
