New gl watcher here, can someone explain to me why Mim appeared in EWB?Is this the same universe with Bake Love…
I think it's the same, cause in the pilot of "love bake feeling" Jan and JingJing appear there as well.. I'm also pretty sure both series are based on novels of the same writer..🤔
Tee the actor you are..👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 His performance in the closet scene was amazing! But damn his backstory is so dark. His step father disgusts me so much.. I cannot believe he walks around free..
Yeah, it was more like a warning for people who don't enjoy watching unhealthy dynamics. I do agree that all kinds…
Like I said the wifey/hubby terms are kinda of a rarity nowadays, based on the series that I've watched at least, so when you say you wished to see two hubbies, you mean for the couple to refer to each other as such? Cause I don't think I see that either. Characters getting married and be called husbands, yes that is a thing. But just referring to each other as boyfriends, is what you'll usually find in most series, cause the majority of the couples portray young relationships..😌
There have been some clearly verse couples --verse characters as well-- in series, but sometimes it's also implied. What changed the most regarding that aspect in bls, from my viewing experience, at least, is that the roles of top and bottom are not strictly associated with specific personality profiles as much anymore. You'll see more variety and diversity in the characters, and the idea of a submissive top and a powerful bottom has also been introduced, which is something that I love, personally, because it defies the common stereotypes, highlighting that sexual roles aren't fixed or defined by particular personality traits, but they are based on personal desire and comfort. So that part has evolved compared to the earlier days.

I don't think that's just a thai bl thing, cause I've read japanese manga and it was a concept I was familiar with. The issue is that the roles of top and bottom have been translated into specific personalities, but over the years the genre has evolved and more queer people are getting involved in these productions, so there's been a significant shift. The fandoms are a different story, though. One that I don't want to talk about..😅
About the term "wifey", I think I've read a comment once of someone saying that it's not necessarily used in a negative or belittling way by Thai people; that it can be an endearing term and some couples do choose those titles, because they like it, so I don't have a problem with that. My only issue is when people try to hereronormalise gay couples or implicate that a gay man is less of a man and inferior. And again the genre has come a long way ever since, so you won't see these terms being used in the shows as much, I'd say rarely or not at all nowadays (based on the dramas that I've watched at least) and not in the stereotypical way they were used in the past.
Regardless, it's a really enjoyable series. The drama gave me kinda latin telenovela vibes and I loved that..😆
Still in episode 2? Oh you haven't seen nothing yet..😂😂😂
Thanks.It is a bit funny to read that a series from 2018 is old for less absurd understanding of queer elements…
Yeah, it was more like a warning for people who don't enjoy watching unhealthy dynamics. I do agree that all kinds of behaviours should be showcased in series, since it's art and it doesn't have to be limited or look perfect to be good.
As for me mentioning the false terminology, I didn't take into consideration that in Thailand the queer identities might work different than in the western world, so I'm not certain if that terminology is still used or accepted there, that's why I haven't edited that part off my review, but since you commented underneath I just wanted to clarify it.. But yes there has been a lot of progress since then, especially on the outdated notions mentioned within the show..😌
I think the screenwriter confirmed that the transition doesn't happen for revenge and there is more to the story,…
No, I understand what you're saying and it's a valid point, but since the whole premise is vague, I thought that maybe the story could be more complicated than it seems..🤔
transitioning for revenge aside (maybe there really is more to the story than shown in the trailer), it really…
I think the screenwriter confirmed that the transition doesn't happen for revenge and there is more to the story, but they cannot reveal anything to avoid spoilers.
thai ppl are going crazy over this, this is their first pick and this honestly has the best plot out of them all…
Which is crazy to me, cause the series they've been at, have solid storylines whether someone like them or not. They haven't portrayed a single character without depth or complexity..

Once again some will say that this storyline is beneath them or they will mock the concept, which is so disrespectful towards another culture.. Like if you don't understand try to learn instead of belittling another culture. And I don't even say it as a FirstKhaotung fan. This storyline would honestly get me interested whoever was starring, but them being the protagonists and being surrounded by such a skilled cast, was a bonus..
A death similar to Yu Meng Long’s has occurred in Turkiye as well. It is claimed that a famous Turkish artist…
When governments are involved, the signs are all the same. Massive cover ups, excuse after excuse and quick closing of the case . I've seen this happen in my country as well --not in the entertainment industry-- but for an incident that it's heavily implied that the government is involved in, and they block every procedure to uncover the truth for two years now.. I'm really hoping that the circumstances under which Yu Meng Long died, will get revealed..🙏🏻
