Finally, aside from ep 1 and 2, I found another ep I like.
It's so realistic how Perth reacted in the event of his father shooting. He was willing to give Sailom's brother, Saifah the benefit of doubt, until Saifah himself admitted to being the shooter. It's not Kanglan's responsibility to trust Saifah. That would be Sailom's job. Imagine him finding out his dad has been shot and his life in danger, just when he was going home to reconcile with him. That, right there, would have been a forever regrettable moment. Where I come from, that is known as "had I known!". I can also understand Kang asking Sailom to leave his house because I can only imagine how he must be feeling and blaming himself because if he wasn't a friend of Sailom, Saifah wouldn't have become a worker in their house and his dad wouldn't have been shot. Our brain works in mysterious albeit predictable ways.
Chimon's reaction when he visited his brother was on point. Him also going to the escort job was a way to show how helpless he is in the face of poverty. That crippling and helpless feeling of having no way out, yet not wanting to steal from others.
Despite Kang saying "poor people can do anything for money, he still showed up. Which means he is still willing to believe that Saifah might be innocent, just that he's hurt cos his dad is currently fighting for his life.
*The only doubt I have is how he knew Sailom's exact location. Mysterious drama GPS I suppose*.

The only thing I disliked was Kang throwing money on Sailom's face, and humilating him by trying to insinuate that he will sleep with him. and pay him since all Sailom wanted is money. I understand that Kang is hurt but having known Sailom for a while, that was really low. Moreover, Sailom was just a victim of SA like few minutes ago. I'm grateful that Kang rescued him but that was a no. But I would ignore that because of that emotional scene at the end where he cried.

Yeah. I would not be mad. The gut wrenching pain a person experiences when falsely accused and no one believes...

Yeah the way Atom lied still gives me the chills.
Lol, but thought we agreed that bugging/taping people without their knowledge is wrong? 😅🤣

Hey 👋

Oh! Indeed I misunderstood what you said. I apologize for that.
Now, let me go back and read what you wrote "slow-ly".
Sorry, maybe I'm too tired so my brain is a bit slow today. I just closed from a 13hr shift. Now, I feel foolish.😅
Thanks also for clarifying that.

Lol
I'm home now so I can reply properly.
All I know is, Atom better not mess with Nick cos Nick might just bug everything Atom owns and expose him to the whole world. Nick is scary.

I agree with you to an extent, but pointing out Tharntype which you are not wrong about, but just concluding that because say I like TT for example, it means I don't care that the character was SA'd. That is in no way true. I like TT because there was redemption and growth for that character who did it. I liked that he knew what he did wrong and he knows it's unaccepted. Secondly, I liked the interaction between the 2 later in the series. TT was my very first BL and my first experience of watching a romance between 2 males and those leads will always have a special place in my heart but other than TT, I literally cannot accept any other series like that. Yes, call me a hypocrite.

Now coming to your statement here "But if it happens in a straight couple they don't like it. That's really dehumanizing// it would interest you to know that even in straight romance novels, most don't care either. I know this because I literally have been reading straight romance novels for more than 15yrs, and out of those years, I dived into straight Asian Romance novels around 2014 and it's been 8yrs and most of readers love it because they say it's just fiction. Mind you, it's not just the straight women. For years, I repeatedly reported those books heavy on SA and rape, but the site regulators never did anything about it. I sent various emails to them to atleast tell the authors to either put a trigger warning somewhere on the front page or categorise them as dark romances, so that those who care will be informed. I was ignored. I'm referring to straight romance translated mostly from Chinese novels. For a reader like me, it hurt cos I had to stopped reading because they triggered me and I was scared of stumbling on one unknowingly. The worse is that, somehow the women always magically falls in love with those men who rapes them as long as they are rich, tall and handosme but it's a different ball game if the men are middle aged with the sterotypical "pot belly". I can't stand SA cos Yes, I'm also a victim of SA repeatedly, so don't castigate me on liking TT just cos you saw that on my profile. Liking it doesn't mean I accept SA or it automatically makes me a fetishizer.

Thanks for responding.

Ok.

Is that in the preview for ep 11?

A teaser for a new BL

Lol. Exactly. Women love romance plain and simple.

Policing what people watch is like telling them they are being abnormal and finding delight in abnormal things.
We are adult. It's time we let each other live and breathe without dictating every move or boxing people up.

Thanks for responding.

I agree with you.
I feel like if people don't have a problem with straight romance and those who watches them, then why have a problem with gay content? As far as I'm concern, gay content is normal, just like straight content, so I just enjoy the storyline and simp on the actors. There's nothing wrong with that.

Thanks for responding.

Sometimes, we don't have a particular reason for liking someone. We just like them.
In the case of Top, he liked the challenge of going after an unexplored territory and he liked the chase.
Mew liked the emotions Top stirred in him.. In his words "he's the only one who've made him feel something ".

I agree with you. Thanks for responding

This really makes sense. Thanks

Thanks alot. 😊

Seeing all these comments made me feel better. I was close to deleting everything relating to BL, but decided to post this as a last resort, as those comments were sending me into depression.
I am happy to find somewhere I feel comfortable.
Thanks to everyone for responding.

Thanks for responding. I always like your grammar. ☺️

Thanks for responding.
It is alarming that the accusations target "straight cischet women". The fact that they go to such length to single straight women out making it clear that queer women/men, or straight men aren't among the fetishizers is weird.
If there's anything wrong with the way gay men are viewed, I feel like it's better to address the root cause of the problem, especially the whole nonsense stereotypical BL bed position thing. I'm sure most straight women knew nothing about gays and other members of the community until BL, especially me who never had anyone like that around me, even up until now. So any wrong idea or stereotype people might have is due to being fed by BL. They were taught those ideas by early BLs of around 2016 to atleast 2021. The subtitle hints, dressing, wifey name calling etc. They learnt and absorbed everything. The damage has been done and the way forward will be to subtly change that mentality and way of thinking by producing better BLs which hint less on those stereotypes that are not needed or relevant to the storyline. But going straight and attacking "straight women", generalising everyone and making them feel like they are weird is just wrong.
Some even said "it's bad enough that those straight women ship gay guys, yet they also ship themselves with gay characters, as if straight characters and men are not enough for them".
I was flabbergasted because before sexual or gender identity, we are humans and there's always gonna be someone who likes or admires us for our looks, intellect etc.
