I haven't read the manga. But this deserves a higher score.
It was raw, sweet, emotional and it felt real.
I wish there were more real bl dramas instead of the usual GMM manufactured fluff

This show had a rating of 8.1 a few days ago and suddenly dropped to 7.8

I think some people are down rating show unfairly. People who have dropped the show are rating it about 3.8 which is particularly low.
I get that its not to every ones taste but even so its much better than a 3.8. I have dropped shows or watched shows that did not appeal to me but still rated them higher.

I dont know how MDL rates - there doesn't seem to be such a high proportion of people that have dropped the show, And it would be interesting to understand "verified /stars rating"

I dont have any respect for a director that supports Roman Polanski, and called for his release after Polanski was arrested in Switzerland in relation to his 1977 charge for drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl.

Having said the above, if you have given shows like:
ABO desrive, Revenged Love, Shine, Revenged Love, Im the most beautiful count all a 1,
then Pit babe is in great company.

Its more about being expedient to not bother labelling series as straight when about 90% are straight. It would get tiresome if the obvious needs to be labelled.

In addition some people specifically search for bl or lgbt shows.

You have responded like an assh0le would.
Even it its 2025 people still have preferences. Even gays and lesbians

Ep 4 was so good.
Liked that it gave insight into the past.
I also like the development of Peem/Khem story. I hope its diff (happens sooner) then the book.

and DMD thank you - you are doing a great job (Im almost forgetting TNP)

why cant they both be intertwined somehow - even if you dont want to acknowledge that you are not that person - if you have memories, and that was your life then wouldn't they still affect you.
Not that Im an expert in past lives or reincarnation etc. But if its your past life surely then its part of who you were and are.

Why don't you first get all the facts before resorting to violence?

I also feel if you are against violence or rape. then the best way to show this is by being violent / raping the perpetrator.

"And in this case... they just made them human. and on par with the time they are portrating."

I suppose persecuting gays was also on par with the times - people who ostracised them were only human and we should forgive such behaviour - you know because right and wrong depends on the those times.

That is obviously the natural conclusion of your argument?

I dont mind seeing immorality in fiction - but if I justify it then i can justify it based on the times or its not as bad as murder, then I can justify anything.

Im not arguing about fiction but morality in real life.

Who are you to disparage someone's elses experience and pain and decide what evil is worse.
What right do you have to sit and judge the severity of a crime - be it rape, bigotry, cheating, infidelity. You think you can decide what crime is worse for a victim based on your pathetic experience.

Even during dangerous times - a moral wrong is a wrong.
Even if i lived in the 50s during McCarthyism era - I would not betray others to save my skin. There are lines I would not cross. If you excuse certain actions due "to those times" then you can argue that racism and bigoty wasn't so bad either - it was justified because it was law.
Even during dangerous times - a moral wrong is a wrong.

As for the betrayal and infidelity you experienced -if you trivialise a victims experience to defend your ego then may you have the karma you deserve

100% this. People need to realise that fiction is not reality. And if we start censoring certain behaviours and subjects that we dont approve of we will end up with a situation like China banning bl series.

It annoys particularly when audience are so selective over what they moralise about - violence, murder and mafia themes are okay. They romanticise that completely.

If people hate infidelity, deceit, betrayal, then why don't they focus to sort out their personal lives before imposing morals on fictional characters. Most people who have a problem with the ethics of fictional characters are lacking ethics if they cant differentiate and feel the need to point it out.

You don't have to excuse using betrayal as a subject in fiction, but lets not make excuses for the act even during dangerous times. This is where i disagree with you. Its still not justified to hurt and destroy other innocent lives just to protect yourself and your sexuality.
Betrayal and infidelity is simply a plot device and in fiction I am amoral. I want to be entertained, and experience diff perspectives.

I think its sad that its being boycotted because they have really done a good job creating an entertaining series. I love the show. The actors are great, and production is good BUT its not true to the book/webtoon.

This book meant a lot to the Thai fans because it dealt with issues dear to them. "The novel tackles politics, LGBTQIA rights, classism, colorism, and more."
Im including a link to the reddit discussion.

I think should have bought rights to produce a spinoff type story rather then to buy rights to the original book and then changing the most significant parts that meant a lot to the author and fans.

It may be absurd to international fans but the issues it tackled meant a lot to the Thai fans.

lol - Im glad you enjoyed TNP but have you not looked at the comments made on TNP discussion pages.
Sugar high is a good way of describing it but i think you need to be a fan of ZNN to actually enjoy TNP. I enjoyed some of their other shows but not TNP

i understand - some shows have taken me months to finish because of this issue. I have to force myself. And only when enough time has passed that i forget how embarrassed i was.
Its usually when a character exposes some embarrassing feeling or some embarrassing behaviour/situation is exposed.
In this show i feel the actor he has embraced everything embarrassing, and is so comfortable being unashamed that i cant feel embarrassment.

lol

The Next Prince bored and disappointed a lot of people

Glad that this show (and DMD) is doing well and the ratings are reflecting this.
Hope they keep producing such quality going into future.

so will we only get something happening in the last episode?

I actually find this show funny and can laugh.
Curious what is cringe humour to you?
I found My Golden Blood very cringe and the camp didnt work for me - saw no humour. Obviously so many enjoyed it but I could not hang on even if paid. Funny how we all view cringe differently
