lots of thoughts! at first i was a bit torn on how i felt about the modern day duean being unrecognizable from the actor. like no matter how much the hairstyle or glasses can cover, thats clearly the same person lol. this kind of trope always annoys me but then it suddenly gets serious with themes of homophobia and suicide and i'm like oh okay so we're doing a tearjerker again. consider me in. sadly reminds me a lot of what happened to leslie cheung.
this will definitely be a super interesting watch.
for me this was the best pilot trailer dmd showed today by far. just everything about is a new frontier for the thai bl industry imo. the way its shot like an indie movie, the color grading, the realistic plot, and best of all not shying away from angst. dmd shows have definitely become better production and script wise but i felt like the acting performance was still lagging behind. this definitely changes that too. i really loved netjjs acting in this pilot.
i know people are gonna say its very jbl coded but im actually sensing a lot of inspiration from lost in translation and some of wong karwais movies esp during the taxi ride scenes near the end.
that pilot just screamed money. it feels like dmd shows are exponentially increasing in quality since khemjira. if they keep this up, they'll 100% end up leading this industry.
GMMTV wants to keep BL cheap and use it as money maker to fund their flagship straight series, but who knows,…
tbh you can already see the newer artists are getting more easy to produce shows whereas the established ships are the ones getting shows with extremely high budget. gmmtv doesnt even give their famous bl ships high budget shows lol.
why is the rating low? this deserves above 9 ps. rewatching this while waiting for the next eps of wu to dropđź¤
i wouldnt say 8.7 is low lol. but the ratings on this website are definitely all over the place. i liked duang with you and me and thee but in no way they were superior to this show. the audience here def just likes easy to digest romcoms more. not saying khemjira was perfect either but it was far more revolutionary, high budget, and well rounded compared to the bls that got higher ratings than this show on here.
shine and gelboys are criminally rated so low when you compare them to whats the top rated here.
crazy to think this was 7 years ago! i know it wouldn't feel the same now because there's so many better and higher quality bls that aired after this but back then this truly hit like a crack lol. felt super refreshing to get such a plot admist all the cheesy high school bls.
i feel ashamed for doubting this show when the official trailer dropped. p'aof just knows how to deliver a beautiful script with proper queer representation. i'm sorry but no other director in gmmtv can match what he does for his shows.
i don't think anybody is ready for the episode where nok sinjai appears. she’s gonna come on screen, act her heart out and have all of us bawling our eyes out.
it probably won't be as good as your name engraved herein but always nice to see something from gmmtv that isn't nonsensical bl slop made as a cashgrab.
it was okay. didn’t live up to first season for me. this season could be considered more polished but something about the rawness of the first one >>>
Hmm. Will watch because of Taecyeon but don't have high expectations since I don't usually care for Japanese series.…
tbh i like watching them. japanese series are short, straight to point, and no matter what budget, will have always the best cinematography. they make for a super easy watch always.
He acts very well, whether it's a happy role or a sad, reflective one. I really appreciate that when he does BL,…
such talent in this industry is sadly rare. it's even sadder when you remember how the toxic fandom prevented ohm to shine in the bl industry. honestly even gmmtv did him extremely dirty. if he was still doing a bl after such a huge success of bad buddy and the ohmnanon, they shouldve gone all out picking a great script with a great production for such a popular actor.
i definitely have to rewatch this one day. when this was originally airing, i felt underwhelmed with the ending.
but now that i think about it, even after all these years, this bl stands out so much because both the lead actors are insanely talented actors and i don't think anyone in the genre has ever been able to match their performance since this. despite such a simple (and slightly generic) plot, theres so many scenes in this show where both ohm and nanon managed to show their acting range in an insane way. thats what made this show special to me.
recent popular bls like khemjira and so on are great but aside from the supporting cast, the acting tends to be pretty... stiff.
i think it’s great gagaoolala decided to not air this after the backlash. i think it makes a very clear message that bromances can not replace queer stories.
anyways, moving onto soul mate (2026)’s page now and joining in to that show’s discourse now.
Can someone please explain why is this queerbaiting, because that as far as I know means series that suggest a…
because gmmtv put this show on gagaoolala, a platform for queer stories only when there’s nothing queer about this show. anyways, with enough criticism gagaoolala has decided to remove this show from their platform
