Hi guys. I have a question. What do you call a relationship dynamics that started out transactional with one of the character "buying" the other with money, says he now owns him and the other character jokes about being bought and owned?
Before I make this comment, I know I'm probably gonna be alone in this comment section with a different sentiment about this show and that's fine because after today, I don't think I will come back to this page again to write any comment. I don't want anything or anyone to ruin my enjoyment of this show.
I love the show and it's the slowburn that I never knew I needed. The lovemaking was beautiful and it made me sad, why, I'm not sure.
Finally, we have a ML who is rich, young and handsome yet can actually treat his love interest well. He is nice and kind to him. I never knew that was possible in BLs with the types of MLs I've seen who are assholes and jerks, each one worse than the last. Who knew you can be rich and nice too? We have gotten so used to toxic relationships of varying degrees, that many MCs has to settle for the bare minimum every single time. Even the second male lead who is a much better person than the ML would usually be made to look creepy/stalkish just to make the MC settle for less than he deserves- an arrogant, rude, disrespectful human who thinks the world revolves around him. But characters like Sun are seen as boring cos they are not exerting some useless dominance or some big toxic alpha male behaviour and they are called simps because people are too used to toxic storylines now. I call that "conditioning ".
Here? Mut is not whitewashed. Why the comment? But then you have my white ass getting sun tanned, just to stick…
It's not about Mut being whitewashed. It is the random colourist comments every now and then..Plus, Mut's colouring here was used to push a point- That he has no money, is poor and lives in the countryside, hence he's like that unlike Rak who is rich and is from the city, hence he's fair skin which is deemed as more beautiful.
I think that this stereotype is ingrained deeply in the culture. I get why - if person is poor, they usually have…
Yes, i see it in Chinese novel too. It's very annoying there but for Korean drama, they treate Africa like one country instead of a huge ass continent with plenty countries and they love to send their rich second generation heirs there as "punishment " for disobeying them or to do philanthropist work because "Africa does not have food to eat and no water to drink" according to them.
I used to condone it but this is 2024. I had to drop a lot of shows like "Shooting Stars and Queen of Tears".

Yes, but times are changing and they have a large audience who are melanated. Some of the lines in shows comes off a bit racist and a little bit of self-hate considering that many Thai people are brown and it's a tropical country afterall.
But for the racist ones, I'm not talking about Thai shows. Korean dramas are the worst .
The child actress is fantastic. She nailed her expressions, mannerism, and lines. For a moment, I did think she could easily win the best actor this ep.
Ah! Rak has come a long way. He's gradually opening up and trusts Mut enough to share things with him now. I wasn't expecting him to tell Mut the full story but he did and I'm proud of him.
I understand Peak's confusing since Thanwa actions send mixed signals, such as moving back with the ex or hiding…
Has a different flair to it..Plus, the Thai version will cover the full volume of the manga, unlike the Japanese version that only covered like 4 parts

Fiction is much more powerful than we think.

Hope this helps!
I love this description. Yes, you're right. Do you write?

Why didn't I think of this?
