Two or three sentences is an essay?

They had the novel to follow but they said scrap it and made their own story.
You misunderstood. That was straight out snark. But my first comment was not.

Wow okay. Do I really have to explain this to you?

Plot:

1) King of Emmally is sick and wants to abdicate. A fencing match has historically decided who the next king will be. The participants are the children and the father of whoever wins becomes the next king.

Khanin The King's grandson has been raised in England after a car accident and the story starts when the king sends his adopted grandson and bodyguard to go and collect him.

Then each one of the episodes that story is brought forth. If you feel like waiting around I will be writing a overview of how the plot unfolds. And if you don't feel free to use your internet version of crinkling up paper and throwing it in the garbage.

2) Said bodyguard falls in love with the King's Bio grandson. And what unfolds is the story of their romance and eventual marriage.

I can't help what your opinion is but the acting was good, not Academy Award-winning good, but better than the acting I've seen in most Asian dramas much less most BL's.

I liked the darkness of the original book but understand why they did not use some of that in the series. And the book had more plot holes than the series anyway.

There was only one real plot hole that I found. And that was Charan not being ready to tell Khanin that he loved him when according to his ethics just kissing him was his vow of eternal love and fidelity.

Other than that I thought the story was pretty straightforward.

Khanin's character development was quite marked. He went from being a pretty immature 22-year-old to a man who was mature and kind, who offered a hand to his competitor in a high stakes fencing match. It went from being pretty needy about his love for Charan to a full-blown patient and steady lover.

Exactly! It’s wild that people have to issue disclaimers just to avoid getting chewed out by overzealous fans.…
Up until now you haven't been throwing a tantrum. I own every single word that I've written here. I have no idea what you are babbling on about now but whatever is going on please fix it. It's not my problem.

Sorry. You can say why you don't like something in two or three sentences. If you can't be bothered with that then you're comment is absolute garbage, crap, flotsam, jetsam, and let's not forget poo. 💩

There actually wasn't one bit of what I said that was directed at you and 0% snark. But I can try some if you would like. I am nothing but accommodating.

I write critiques because I enjoyed the series and I like to write. If people like my critiques fine if they don't that's fine with me.

I know I can write because before I retired people were paying me big bucks for this.

To be completely honest I don't give a rat's azz what you think of me.

They got that. There were very few plot holes.

I'm not the authority but it doesn't take a genius to know that a comment that says you don't like something without saying why you don't like it is crap.

I wasn't even a tiny little bit surprised. Violent narcissist fits the profile.

Rachata was a violent narcissist. You can't really expect rational behavior from someone like that.

You were probably lucky enough not to grow up with a person like that but I wasn't.

There is no reasoning with someone like that. The only thing you can do is walk away which is what Ramil did.

You'd think the tradition of punishment falling to a Phuchongphisut's trusted friend so that a family member can't…
If you watched the series you must have seen the flashback to when Ramil was in high school and he tried to intervene when Paytai was being punished. He made it worse on Paytai and that is why he didn't intervene later on.

He was also a little kid when Paytai came to the palace and they were both abused from a very young age. I don't think that Ramil is supposed to be very old. Khanin is supposed to be 22, and Ramil is either the same age or a little younger. FWIW in the book Ava was 20 but the actress who played her was only 16 when they started filming.

Anyway he was still pretty young and over the course of the drama he made realizations about what was going on in his life and how his father's violence was affecting how he treated Paytai.

Ramil wasn't a hypocrite or a coward he was a victim of abuse and traumatized. And I give him props for being able to walk away from his father and try to make it up to his lover.

i think if a series is really really popular, it gets more hate. People forget to have fun while watching a series…
I think because it had a higher budget at least by Thai BL standards and the wait was long, fans were expecting Lincoln, My Left Foot or Oppenheimer.

It's still a Thai BL set against a royal background. I thought the actors were good, but not Daniel Day-Lewis or Cillian Murphy.

It was good entertainment, the leads and secondary couple had amazing chemistry. It had a happy ending, although the bad guys didn't get what was coming to them (except for Wasin).

It had the elements I expected in a BL romance.

I've done my best to post some thoughtful comments here and there which have probably been drowned out by trolls and haters who are not providing thoughtful comments as to why they don't like the series. And that's sort of a shame.

It wasn't perfect and I always pointed out what wasn't perfect in my opinion. But overall I liked it a lot.

There has to be more of an agenda involved with the haters. Normal people just stop watching shows they don't…
I don't think that at all. There are trolls everywhere. The only way you can get rid of them is to have a moderated discussion group and most of them aren't.

It's been the number one watched BL for the last 14 weeks. I doubt anything that happens on this discussion board will have any effect on them whatsoever. I don't even know if anybody connected with the series has even read any of these comments.

Ballchon. Dome is his older brother, but they are both fabulous singers.
I just watched an interview that Poppy did with Ballchon on YouTube today. Learned a lot of stuff about him that I didn't know, like he was an acting coach and worked with NuNew on Cutie Pie.

He talks a lot about being in the shadow of his brother Dome and a lot of people confusing him with his older brother.

In case you want to watch the interview .

Because most viewers don't agree with you? Including me. Live with it.
On this discussion board there seems to be a proliferation of people who just want to keep complaining about a show they're either not watching anymore or never watched.

But the fact is TNP has been the most watched BL around the world for the last 14 weeks. People don't generally keep on watching series that they hate, they just drop them.

BTW I don't know what "oh what a glamor" means and I'm a native English speaker and journalist, so I have a pretty good vocabulary. Is this some kind of UK slang?

Never seen Bridgeton or The Young Royals, in fact I never even heard of the second one, but I did enjoy the series,…
And most of the people watching the show couldn't buy them anyway. There are a lot of international fans outside of Asia.
