Okay, so I can definitely appreciate what they're trying to do here, and despite missing the mark a few times and some moments feeling a little off, I feel like over all it's working quite well. It's giving more 'western' than Thai though, which feels different in a Thai BL and the filming style and music chosen for this is interesting too, it could be a nice break from the usual. I am also glad, from my personal side, that I like Joong's character in this, since I'm watching this just because of him.
I don't like Khao or Dunk much, but I can keep going for Joong, First and the plot uncovered so far.

Funny though, Kant saying to Bison that he and Fidel don't look alike when he and his little brother dead-ass don't even look like their parents ever met each other.

Yep, the whole thing screamed jealous 'ex boyfriend'. I don't think they were trying to hide what they implication was, they just kept using the words 'friend, friend, friend' to keep it 'tidy'. lol In any censored BL, the MLs relationship doesn't make sense as friendship when broken down.

I lol'd at the 'boing' sound when the 'gangster' headed the bodyguard 🤣 also I can believe Yang Zixiang is good with languages, because when he says some words in English his accent is good too, also also this shit is very adorable and it's a fun watch. That is all.

Seconded.

It absolutely is fantastic, it's way better than 95% of BLs released in 2024 imo, but underrated AF, which is how it goes when the actors themselves don't have hoards and hoards of fans who'll bump the rating. Here's another one that is banging other BLs of 2024 but is not well known: https://mydramalist.com/761703-lu-guo-wo-nian-shao-shi-guang-de-lan-se

Ratings on MDL are like the points on Whose Line Is It Anyway.; They Don't Matter. Always take the ratings with a pinch of salt, and if you're curious or interested, then watch and judge for yourself. I have my own opinion on this show's rating, which I'll select once it's completed airing, but I will say, if you watch it to be entertained unseriously, it's very fun.

Another Thai BL I'm only gonna' try out for one BL actor, Joong. Sigh, I'll dip if it's bad but I will try it first.

Haha! Yep, it is absolutely unrealistic, that's a fact. But in MDL comments, complaining about too many non sensical gay characters in a BL makes some viewers upset 😂 and they will make many excuses for why excess gay is A-ok. It's pointless trying to discuss it reasonably, I've gotten to a point where I just try to ignore it.

(͡• ͜ʖ ͡•)

Despite the supernatural ring and all the emotional stuff (the latter being lost on me, since I was never emotionally invested in any characters in this show, and episodes 10 and 11 had a lot of that) I still enjoyed 11, I enjoyed the entertaining highlights, like the peanut gallery's wild 'plans' and the ending scenes of 11 where the craziness has escalated, especially the fighting/beat down scenes. It seems to be back on track with the hijinks and bizarre shenanigans with how it closed out. So, only one ep left, no reason not to see it through!

In a sense, yes, it's because people have been 'burned' by Cn BLs in the past, hence the reason so many commenters are mentioning China and sad endings and saying they're worried and still questions censorship despite the BC clearly not being censored. People seem to be waiting for the other shoe to drop, expecting the worst as it were.

I personally don't think it's gonna' end badly, but everyone's idea of a bad ending differs so.

He knows what's up and he's not shy to make his moves 😁

As someone who liked Phun and Noh together from the beginning, episode 10 had a satisfying conclusion.

I am now going to spend to spend the week recovering from episode 8 which served some dessert with the angst. Yum.

Your points don't actually remove the fact that these are repetitive tropes and traits featured in BLs that would not be obviously or conveniently done, or done at all, in LGBTQ+ shows. Also, everything that happens in (non supernatural) BLs can technically happen in real life, so that isn't really much of statement you've made. But at any rate, we can agree to disagree. Everyone is free to enjoy and view it however they like.
