screw gender swap but a proper body swap bl would kinda be so fun. like imagine this show where pan is actually a socially awkward guy who takes over the body of the popular guy.
i remember watching this for the first time being so impressed by the production value that i hoped the company behind this would eventually make a bl. good for me, the wish came true quickly and itsay and its sequel managed to be so peak. and then sadly for me, the company just shut down after that lol. because of their experience with filmmaking, i felt like they had much more experience in making a show look more expensive. i know the cgi in this one probably feels cheap now but the lightning and color grading made it age so much better.
jj filled my dream of playing a main bl role, ice paris you have to be the next one!!
the contrast between this and love upon a time is crazy. thank god they aired at around the same because i needed dopamine rush from this show after suffering from the heart ache in that show.
pond is such a versatile actor omg its insane. i just watched this man act serious asf bawling his eyes out in clairebell and now here he's being a silly madman lol.
for a bl remake of such an iconic show, i do wish this had a much better production behind it but i'm definitely tuned in for the cast. this shall suffice for the gap love upon a time left in my heart.
netjj were way too good in luat. their acting skills seemed to have improved even more with this pilot. ugh, i just love actors who can act. this show will be the one for history books. just please don't take forever.
does anyone else wonder how jom and kaews lives carried on after having lost both of their friends who made them feel so safe about their sexuality? heck i cant even imagine the pain phops parents felt losing their beloved child and klao whom they pretty much raised as well. like i know everyone lived to see much better... next lives but i really do hope they managed to somehow find happiness in that lifetime as well.
i just saw the trailer, and it was supposed to be netjames??? But JJ, the man you are. So so good. This is a 10/10…
at first i was a bit worried about the change myself bc netjames genuinely had insane chemistry but jj did so well in this role. idk why people called his acting outright bad. his acting for the comedic scenes mightve not been the best but he totally delivered when it came to everything else.
its been 4 years so ive let it go but... i have hope bls will eventually properly try out the sci-fi post apocalyptic setting just like how they took so long to tap into period dramas.
scary news: thai writers have joined forces with japan and south korea at writing real good heartbreaking scenes…
i know everyone finds phops life quite to be tragic but... that's how everything was sadly supposed to be if not for klao's time travel. probably even worse since phops love would never flourish so itd be a one sided longing for his entire life. i really like that they didnt try to serve us a full on happy go lucky ending to make us viewers happy because to me this realistic ending is what elevated this show so so much. so many bls will show proper queer struggle but will not have appropriate and realistic bittersweet ending (cough ticket to heaven cough gmmtv shows cough) to match it. this show really handled it the best no matter how much we wish phop and klao managed to live a long life together. so many queers in history have actually been deprived of their love in this way and i really like the message they try to send with this ending.
now anytime i want to cry, ill just put on the final ep and torture myself seeing phop's state when he lost klao.
scary news: thai writers have joined forces with japan and south korea at writing real good heartbreaking scenes for their bls. this year was full of these and they all hit way too hard.
on a lighter note, does anybody find it funny they unintentionally showed that if you're poor, you will reincarnate into the working class AGAIN and if youre rich, you will be rich in your next life too lol.
You have never believed in religion ig. It's easier said than done cause for those who have grown up with faith…
nope. have grown with a religion myself and the most strict one out there. i have nothing against people who choose to believe in god because everything is truly unknown but what good will come from loving a god that simply hates you? anyone can choose to believe in god but still have their way out from these religions and their communities that simply hate you. i don't dislike the choice to believe in god, i just dislike the choice to believe in the very god that hates you that this ending pushes.
The director is queer himself and Catholic still, so that’s why I think he chose such ending, as it’s also…
yeah its definitely a very fresh take on its own but sadly goes against what i expect from the religious communities and faith that outright rejects you (saying based on experience) so it just does hurt a bit personally.
do you think this series helped or hindered BL acceptance.I think TTH was a masterpices, but I don't think TTH…
youre not alone! also a gay guy from the US who's super into bls lol. my gay friends definitely treat me like people treat anime fans for it lol. i personally enjoy all sorts of gay romance stories regardless of the audience they're meant for. it's nice to get a realistic story once in a while to let everyone know about the struggle queers go through but its also super nice to see media that's just purely about queer joy. not only for escapism purposes but just to show that we can and should have happy stories in our lives too!
its really surprising to me that not more gay men watch bls or honestly any gay romance content atp. i feel like asian bls definitely strike a nice balance between being for the female audience and the gay men at the same time. i don't know how i can properly explain it but i feel like there's many good quality bls that definitely treat the fact its a love story between two men with great respect.
i really liked the show but the message they're trying to send with the ending won't just ever work. no religious community dead set on prosecuting innocent queers deserves a good image because they will never accept them no matter what push. the only way... is the way out sadly. personally would've preferred if both of them just moved on from religion in their own ways rather than caving into it. religious coping is hard to get out of but it is possible. that's the route they should've taken for tanrak. and that's the most realistic ending for most of the queers around the globe. and yes, that is the actual happy ending for them as well.
