I don't know if I'm the only one feelings this way but... I get really sad thinking about how a good (for now)…
UWMA pacing is really slow in the show, they should've added more drama into it (ofc original to the show since the novel lacks any dramatic confrontation) to make it more fuller.
Are we all gonna skip the part where the sisiter of the Zon writing fanfiction of his own brother ?????? Also…
It's not really discriminatory. BL is a genre in itself and has many tropes and plot elements that distinguishes it from other forms of romances. One of these elements is that in BL, all the major characters are attracted to someone of the same gender. There's very little focus on straight relationships, and even then the hetero people are rare as heck.
Another element is that in BL, unlike in general forms of LGBT literature/media, homosexuality isn't outright declared. Often times, they're not attracted to the same gender except for that special someone. There's less emphasis on labeling. Presence of fujoshi/fudanshi are also a common element in BL.
So it's more or less a genre that distinguishes itself from normal LGBT romances.
Just out of curiosity, do they film all these Thai BLs at the same university? This campus looks very similar…
They also all involve Engineering or Medicine degrees loool the only exceptions so far is UWMA from my experience where the main characters are all in varied faculties.
Victoria <3 and the synopsis sounds so good. But 41 hours is too much! (Netflix schedules says it'll have 41 eps) Why can't Chinese Dramas be shorter smh like even 20-25 episodes would be so much better.
I disagree with people saying the change in drama isn't good. IMO It's very good. While I love the novel, it lacks dramas outside of the whole father thing and even that's not really dramatic. It'd not translate well on TV and it'd prolly turn out boring with like 69 episodes of just fluff between the two a la UWMA.
To be honest this is one of my favorite BL novel, it's quite a turn off knowing they will add cliché fiancee…
I love it personally. I enjoy watching jealous dramas. lmao The novel lacks big dramas and is like 90% fluff and 10% family drama. So it'd not translate well on TV so this is a good change tbh
Watched upto episode 8 and I still have NO idea what Tar and Tum's characters are. Terrible exposition tbh No background, no premise, no nothing. They just come and disappear randomly. Superfluous, irrelevant characters. They could've used that screen time to develop some of their other, more spotlighted characters like Lhong or the Khlui-Seo couple instead.
The minimum character development in Type's character's also annoying. 8 Episodes in and he keeps touting his hatred for homosexuality till now. When will he get a new view of the world?? When will he develop??
On the upside, I like the jealousy-angst storyline they're going for. That's exactly my cup of tea.
I need Lee Joon Hyuk's character to change his way for this season tbh I hated him in S1, but liked the little change he showed from midway on and the season finale annoyed me since he reverted back.
