Could be, but the shade is definitely being thrown at Mame, since she and the director of this series didn't see eye to eye which led to his separation from Tharn Type. 2 Moons may have been what was referenced at the casting table when they dismissed one actor for being "too gay", then hired a gay actor for being masculine enough to sell, while claiming that sexuality doesn't matter as long as you can act. I think they were throwing shade on Mame's type of BL when Gene's publisher offered to send him Porn as research materials for his new novel and seemed more concerned about getting sex into the novel than anything else.

Unlike others, I barely noticed the sound effects. I think after watching dozens of Thai BLs at this point, I just tune it out. I think it has potential, but its premature to fall for it. Yeah, it makes fun of certain parts of BL that I've come to find rather annoying, and took a nice pot shot at the type of BL that became popular with TharnType and LBC that is indifferent to the distinction between sexual harassment and romantic seduction. But just because it claims to be different in EP 1 doesn't mean that it will be any different in the end.

I do like that it appears to be a single-couple BL as I'm growing tired of the gaysplosion BLs where a group of 3-4 "straight" friends all start shagging once they meet the right boy. Instead I think we are going to get three stories with the same pair: Bad Engineer, the making of Bad Engineer, and the new novel Gene is working on. That might be interesting.

My biggest complaint though is that the show took 3-4 trips to the bathroom in ep 1. They can stop that, please. We know humans need to relieve themselves from time to time. We don't always need to go into the bathroom with them. Its really no big deal, everyone poops.
