There are some really nice lines in Just Between Lovers as well. It's the one drama that I found the most realistic in terms of dealing with survivor's guilt and loss.
Im at ep 15 and this was my opinion even though we know that shi meng is the one who can cured fang yan im a little…
Um no. He dug his own grave by playing alongwith it knowing he wasn't the one. And then used the misunderstanding to manipulate her. Since the beginning she was never romantically interested in him and esp around ep 10-11 onward her feelings for ML are clear as day.
Does the brother like the FL? Because I hate the "Brothers fall in love with the same girl" trope. If so, I'm…
Finally watched this and I agree with the comments below. It wasn't that good tbh, I ended up skipping a LOT of scenes that didn't involve the main lead interactions. They dragged on the SML being the treatment storyline for far too long as well. It prolongs for almost the whole drama in fact. Also yes, the SML was very unlikeable. They tried to cast him off as sympathetic character but he was not. His forgiveness came way too soon as well.
"Wifey" and "Hubby" naming is not just emasculating but also misogynistic. They're basically implying the submissive…
I believe the poster was saying that the "Wifey and hubby" calling in Thai BLs are toxic view of an actual gay relationship because their sexual position is a private matter and the position doesn't make someone a "man" and a "woman". And the being a top doesn't make someone "manly" and neither does making someone a bottom makes them weak and feminine.
They're also saying that the BL genre implement a lot of sexual harassment and rape scenes and then sell it off as "Hot series for LGBQT community" and as some emotional portrayal of a gay relationship.
Edit: Yes, the shippers mentioned wifey/hubby thing.
"Wifey and Hubby"All I know is I don't Give a Damn About This NICKNAMES In a BL drama Anymore . Their "roles In…
"Wifey" and "Hubby" naming is not just emasculating but also misogynistic. They're basically implying the submissive one, the weaker sex is females. And the one who is submissive in a gay relationship is the same as a woman. It's a terrible aspect of Thai BLs. And as a part of LGBT community, I find the spread of these stereotypical views very toxic.
Can I just put forth my explanation of why Tiffy is being like this.Tiffy is mainly portrayed a confident female…
I don't see how her self deprecation and insecurity relates to her view of Tum being gay. It doesn't make sense whatsoever. Insecure people end up guarding themselves and rebuffing interests? Definitely. But doing it by shoving the view that the guy who's showing interest in you is gay? Baloney.
That's what happened with S1 as well. It was supposed to come out like 1-2 years before it actually did.
Yes. I remember the show was supposed to come out in early 2019 or something but it kept getting postponed and it had production problems or something.
I thought Tiffy's vehemence regarding Tum's supposed homosexuality was weird. Maybe I missed something earlier,…
It actually felt offensive to me. How she was forcing her idea of him being gay on him. You can't just force someone to be gay (or straight). I agree, their storyline is unneeded and the show would be better off without them.
I actually don't think his storyline is superfluous or duplicated by Gene/Sib's parents. Like Gene/Sib have good parents, whereas Aey is completely detached and estranged from his and it feels like him being gay is not the reason for it either. Either way, yeah Aey is a really badly written character. The show could do without him to be honest. He's not really needed here.
Oh yes, agreed about that. Most of these shows resolve it really quick that it negates the depth of the topic they're handling. Points for trying, but wish they'd put in more effort.
It indeed was. Looks like my wish for GMMTV shows being progressive will not be fulfilled anytime soon because now they're perpetuating racist attitudes in their shows on the other hand. The latest episode of Fish Upon the Sky had a really racist, uncouth scene that left a terrible taste in my mouth.
Almost as incredible as those who prefer their characters to be recycled out of 80s manga......if we're opening…
lol what a great way you handled the unnecessary asinine post brought out by Rahab75. +100
Sometimes it makes me wonder about the maturity of MDL users who throw a fit over people not liking the same show as them even. It's like they are allergic to dissent in opinion.
