I was thinking too that it was some type of sponsorship, but I didn’t see any brand so I wasn’t sure lol. I do wish the writers or whoever were better able to integrate these product placements/sponsors more smoothly into the show. Some are so awkward and out of place haha

Lol well I probably should have put quotes around it because as I mentioned above, it’s not my type of humor. The last scene with the maid and girls, for example, was just, “Ughhh really, are we 12 year old boys?” And yes that Zumba scene—wtf was that!? So random and added absolutely nothing to the story. Idk I got tired of giving this one a chance and finally dropped. Some parts are decent; others are (in my opinion) too stupid.
The trailer looks amazing, super high quality. The filming location is beautiful! I also love the apparent nod to Filipino mythology. I’m not familiar with the story, but it sounds like this may be a modern re-telling of it?

Fair point! Yeah, Aki does a good job (I think he’s even improved since the first few episodes, which is always nice to see). That scene with Ace and Kim in the restaurant was really well done, I thought. Do you feel, though, that sometimes the acting of both leads feels a little “forced natural” so that it seems awkward? It’s like they’re trying too hard to be organic that it backfires. I don’t know, it could just be me lol
Aside from that chicks whole plot (it didn’t follow logic at all!) I thought it was a solid episode.P.s. Let…
Yeah, it seems to be getting mixed reviews in the comments here. I’ll have to see how the girlfriend story line plays out. Cliches aside, I’m just happy I can trust GMM to put out a solid drama these days; other companies seem to be a hit or miss. There’s always at least one thing off lol
Not them pulling a HIStory: Obsessed in episode 4 lmao
But seriously though, I’m really impressed with how this is developing, as crazy as some parts seem. Who knew we’d get this drama and story development from boring old episode 1!? I should’ve known better, this being GMM and all.
Edit: Ok I read the comments and feel like I’m in the minority haha but I feel like in terms of the whole package—story/plot, writing, pace, acting, music, cinematography, little to no filler—GMM, yet again, leads the game (at least in Thai BL) with this latest addition.
And yet this is rated 7.4 while the Oxygen has an 8.6. I do not understand. I suspect that younger viewers don't…
Wow I didn’t think I’d find another person who wasn’t as hyped about Gameboys as everyone else lmao. Same here. I thought it was okay but I ended up dropping it because I just stopped caring lol. The acting, writing, and plot was good, so I don’t know what it is. Honestly I think half of it was Pearl. I know she has many fans on here but I found her to be loud and obnoxious. I couldn’t stand her and was surprised to see so many who loved her *hides in corner so the Pearl fans do t attack* lol
I also agree with you other comment below about the toxicity of the Gameboys fandom. I couldn’t believe some of the hateful remarks I saw on that page towards people who voiced a less than favorable comment on the show. If only people took that energy and out it towards something meaningful and positive.
The coming out scene in the latest episode was weird, out of place and not really powerful.
Right. I wonder if it’s because the serious scenes are almost always juxtaposed with scenes that have terrible, beyond cringey humor. I wish this had more of the serious tone and less of the “humorous” one.
Lmao I feel like this drama needs grown men (and ones who can act) and most of the wishes I’m seeing here and elsewhere are still little baby-face boys to me, but that may be because I’ve only seen them in blue shorts or black pants and ties haha
Have you ever used MEB before? (I wish they had made it available on Amazon as well.)
I have not. I looked at the website on my phone but it was all in Thai so I didn’t get much out of it lol. But I read somewhere that there’s an app so it’s easier to purchase the book through that and read it there.
Y’all in here rooting for the young ones and I’m just like, Ten Tosatid anyone? Of course, I know they posted the contenders and he wasn’t there *sigh* but I had to give my man some love lol
My instinct tell me that Gunsmile would be playing a part as a Support Role 5555
Oh my god if he’s even in the running and they don’t give him a lead role I-
Lmao but seriously though we may be on to something....recalling his performance in SOTUS I can definitely see him playing a bad ass mafioso who’s secretly soft. Or a bodyguard who is also a secret softie....
I thought it was cute. Slicey, and the plot for each episode was pretty much surface-level, but I laughed throughout and enjoyed the characters. It’s good to watch when you’re in between longer dramas.
Just as you are allowed to praise and rave about a show, so are people allowed to complain about a show. This…
lol right! This sentiment of “don’t comment anything unless it’s praise” is rampant on some of these BL drama pages and I’m just tired of it. I also frequently see negative comments characterized as hate when they’re really not (but I guess what one views as hate can be subjective too). Like, just because it’s a different opinion doesn’t mean it’s hate. Instead of saying someone’s review of the show is deceitful, say instead that you disagree, and then explain why. If people think a drama is amazing, I want to hear that and hear why. But I also want to hear if people think it’s boring, stiff, terribly acted, etc. It all helps me (and probably others) decide whether I want to invest time in it or not.
I also hate when people give 10s to “counter-balance” low ratings. To me that’s deceptive, because it implies you would have given a lower rating had you been honest. And there are almost always far more 10s and 9s than other scores on these dramas, which is why so many are (in my opinion) too highly rated, but you can’t tell who’s being sincere and who’s just doing it to boost the score lol
