This isn't for me, just way too many cutesy sound effects. Clearly, a lot of viewers are enjoying the series, but I turned it off around minute 2 after trying to watch the most recent episode.

"I still have not seen any Thai BL series that gets violence and gangs portrayed anywhere close to reality."

Have you watched BANGKOK BOYS?

"[...] the lads are depicted to be eunuchs or belonging to a sect that practices extreme abstinence because even to the very end of the series nothing happens between them, which is not believable at all."

I had the same issue with MY SCHOOL PRESIDENT. It grew increasingly evident that they were avoiding kissing and it was primarily an issue for the actors, instead of the characters. Or, maybe it was due to a Thai TV rating thing. Either way, by the umpteenth time they devised a reason not to kiss, I'd grown tired of rolling my eyes.

I often return to watch the movie, all over again, just to experience the magnificence of that ending.

You're welcome and have a great time watching those JBLs.

Adding to the list:

• Depth of Field [2025]
• My Class Diary [2021]
• Kimi to Nara Koi wo Shite Mite mo [2023]
• Love is Better the Second Time Around [2024]
• Our Youth [2024]
• Love on the Line (Movie - Director's Cut) [2024]

For Love on the Line, you need to watch the director's cut, as there's an additional 10 minutes at the end that's essential-- turns it into a masterpiece, in my opinion (an opinion that is shared by many). Without it, the movie collapses.

Thanks for the warning.

I think Min Jun's character is neurodivergent. Because he has a difficult time of understanding and bonding with others, he often misunderstands their intentions. He's also deeply insecure, so he rarely imagines good intentions. Luckily, someone with endless patience and a naturally sunny disposition fell deeply in love with him.

😆 I had to read your spoiler comment just to know what you thought after everything came to light.

Whatever floats your boat, or in this case, doesn't.

They took forever to kiss in the book...

Yes, indeed.

You just about summed up my feelings, except for the overly fem nature of Khemjira. I don't mind men who are feminine, but I do mind individuals are are utterly useless and perpetually damsels in distress. Give me a bloody break! As a woman, it grates on my nerves that women are often depicted in this manner. We can be just as emotionally and mentally strong as any man and, even with relatively weaker muscles, we can also be physically strong and capable. Khem being saddled with the wilting lily personality that was as interesting as white bread was both boring and annoying. I didn't care about the love story between the main leads-- I just wanted the story, itself, to be resolved.

Eventually, I resorted to watching the show on 1.5 or 1.75 speed, just to get through it, because for some godawful reason, the director decided that every single scene had to be played out sloooooooooooowly. The main leads talked slowly, walked slowly, pined slowly. 🫩🥱😴 I don't know if it was a deliberate attempt to drag the runtime out or if it was a ridiculous ploy to ramp up tension. What I do know is my eyes kept rolling back into my head from boredom.

There was a good story trapped in there, overall, though; and, yes, the second couple were much more interesting. At least their scenes together had zing!

😂 Your comment genuinely made me laugh. Here's the VenomGoblin whining about no zombies showing up, so I was convinced that somehow, despite the show's summary, the series was actually about a zombie outbreak, but your comment just drops in that the series, is not, in fact, about zombies.

What in the world was VenomGoblin going on about!?

I loved this movie. Yes, there's infidelity-- life's not black and white, no matter how much we'd prefer it to be. Both Ki Hong and Sang Min were deeply unhappy. They found solace with and in each other and that, of course, led to complications. While love is a vital force, it isn't always simple and pretty.

Completely unhinged-- in the best way. Two broken people found each other, made a mess, and somehow ended up cleaning themselves up and settling down into domestic bliss. There's nothing remotely ethical or normal about this story, but it was a lot of fun.

The ones who cornered him in the previous episode and seemed to be one the verge on getting handsy with him because be was able to get close to the Four Heavenly Kings were not pleasant. They were the ones that Hioki was primarily concerned about.

Also, there are girls constantly twittering and fawning over the guys. That's hella cringe.

Ah! I avoided reading it, so missed the details. Hilarious! 😅 Thank you.

They represent us? Us, who? Who would behave in this manner? Who would WANT to behave in this manner? It's embarrassing and disturbingly cringe.

Now, if you meant fan as in fanatical lunatics, then maybe.

"If you take time out of your day because you have the desire to write hateful comments about someone, however casually or without care you claim to do it, I just think it is a net negative for everyone."

Thank you for writing this. Sometimes, people sink so deeply into hate that they become poison for themselves and, tangentially, for others. A life lived sowing hate is a sad life-- a life wasted.
