Those who wrote several comments about “not everyone who is ON fan dislike the show, some ppl just dislike it bc they dislike it” are the most sus imo 🤣

I mean nobody said “ALL” who disliked the 1st episode are Ohmnanon fans, why you all suddenly coming out to explain yourself lol. People were just stating the fact that going from 8,6 to 7,1 in a second even though for 2 days after the ep all stayed the same is clearly massive downvote with 1 point. If you rated it 7 it wouldn’t go down so fast so rapidly, it’s just basic math. Suddenly you’re “offended” someone called you “crazy ON” (personally? and several people here?) for rating it 7? I don’t think this happened haha

Anyways after all the gmm banners and trucks and every gmm line up live comment section and ig comments from ON fans everyone knew this would happen, it was inevitable.

I still do not get btw how people rate shows after watching one episode. That is some incredible psychic abilities you all have here, I’m impressed all the time.

But the funniest to me are those who expect mega deep tragic serious show with this premise and the title “secret contract for love” 😭 You all cannot be serious. It’s time to learn a skill to detect the genre and type of the show after watching MVs and trailers. How 50% here expected something mega deep and dark stuff, I do not get LOL

But yeah “I’m not ON fan but this show sucks and Leng’s acting is bad” is most definitely ON fan type of comment haha. I get that for some the first episode might be average (in many of my fav shows I wasn’t addicted since ep1 ever, so I always give everything a fair chance), but objectively speaking none of the acting was cringe or anything for you to suddenly be so upset, unless you have other obvious reasons. It was a normal first episode, but the comment section is funny. To say it’s groundbreaking and incredible is also extra. I really think with GMM shows you can’t actually predict whether you will like it or not, for me all the fun starts since ep 4, when you for sure get if it’s your thing or not. I usually learned to guess pretty early, but ep4 is my point of continue or drop usually.

I finally caught up and before I’m officially quitting (not for me, I really tried lol), I just wanted to say that despite me seeing many here enjoying it, I’m the opposite. I actually completely understand why it doesn’t make any noise and so low on viu same as almost all GMM shows this year.

This whole year GMM concept seems to be “melancholy”. I mean, cute is not a personality. Cute also must be something grabbing and something that stands out. Like give at least one of your show some taste.

Firstly idk how to call it but it’s kinda… outdated (I know I know some would come and say “cute coming of age” stuff like this is always great but that’s not quite what I mean). This might fly in 2013, but the problem is those who were at the age in which this show would be a hit in 2013 are already not 14 and most likely prefer other types of shows. But those who are 14 RIGHT NOW (and I know this from my little sister) are also actually not interested in those type of shows. So the question is like.. for whom was it made? The plot is not here, bc it’s slice of life. But none of the relationships here can actually make you stick to the screen in any excitement. And the main couple is actually the hardest to root for or care for. They’re both very unpleasant characters. (And not in a good sense like “yay complex”, but really just… unlikable)

I still can’t do anything about the chemistry being siblings-like. And not only between the main couple. WhiteIvy are also not working at all. With Phuwin I understand the case, with Dunk idk that much about him to judge, but I’m wondering if maybe the fact that he’s friends with Lookjun’s boyfriend might affect it somehow. I mean I don’t think anyone there is super genius of actors who would be able to completely forget the world for such “epic” roles, so I genuinely think it might psychologically affect him at some point for sure. Maybe that’s why chemistry is not chemistrying with the two. But also the whole premise of relationship is just not sitting well with me. Like I’m not saying it’s impossible to fall in love on the base “we’re both broken hearted so why not” but it’s like… no thanks.

Also I know people aren’t objective, esp BL fans when they’re watching straight shows, so there are a lot of people who are like “I’m watching only for BL couple here”. But here it’s like… what to watch? They’re also incredibly boring.

I remember it all started with people being like “I can’t wait to ship everyone with everyone”, like after reaching the middle, I don’t ship anyone tbh, like I just don’t care even the slightest. And the funny fact that all are acting good, nothing is cringe, brothers/sisters chemistry is not that big a deal I mean it happens a lot in BLs too if you act okay for some it might pass, in this case it’s not like it’s some passionate romance, it’s just young teens, so it’s not that important.

Also I don’t think all this “scandals” affect the popularity of the show. During F4 Tu was attacked too and BrightWin was much larger than Pondphuwin, same with Prim during Enigma & now her new show with Gemini. Also Bright did have romantic chemistry with Tu, same as Win with Prim. I also saw G4 concert and Gemini has incredible chemistry with girls during dancing, even sexual one too, esp that one that passed by in that viral clip. I can see when they do.

I know many throw insults like “stick to hetero shows” to some BL actors, but after seeing Phuwin in all of his hetero situations, I just want to say “stick to BL” lol but I’m joking ofc

Dunk, I really haven’t decided yet. Great chemistry with Ryu, with Lookjun not really (again might be bc she’s a girlfriend of his friend so he just sees her as a sister). With Joong fire chemistry ofc, with Ohm Pawat too so idk I’m just observing lmao

And again people are always telling me something like “you don’t understand, it’s just a cute coming of age show” (for 15x time about gmm this year). But again cute also must have a personality. I’m really bad at explaining maybe, but I’m really not surprised they have so much flops this year.

I mean On1y One also airs rn. It’s also just a slice of life, but like.. how did they make it so consuming and atmospheric that many are running to watch. So much soul in it somehow, even though sometimes nothing is happening in the episode.

I don’t see the soul here fr. It’s like meh okay passable. Would there not be popular BL actors in this one, I really doubt anyone would tune in. But with all my love for the boys, im quitting early as usual haha I’m just not interested in seeing any of these couples together. Watching it for romance is definitely not it. There are too many great hetero shows with incredible romantic chemistry, so that’s not it. Watching for friendships or interesting dynamics is also not it. Bc everything is basic and predictable.

And I still suggest GMM to try and think outside of the box, bc everyone around them is trying and that would be very sad if they ate them all and continued with their boring boredom. And we won’t have anyone who’s trying anymore.

I’m really curious what is wrong with me personally, but so far there are three GMM BL ships that caused this major craze and were huge hits (Ohmnanon, GeminiFourth, Brightwin) and for some reason I do not get the hype of even ONE of those, to me they’re all bro-ey chemistry and I’m starting to wonder that maybe people really like bro-type ships (?) or my taste is just weird. I’m ok with weird taste, but that’s just funny. Like I tried to understand and get into one of those but no matter how much I looked I still couldn’t understand, yet the world seems to be obsessed. And I’m here just🧍‍♂️👀

I honestly wish we’d have more sassy “bottoms” in charge, who are a bit rude and cheeky at times you know, but bring their men to their knees with being blunt. With that “rich bitch” vibe with you know CHARACTER haha I’m such a fan of this dynamics, but GMM only gave me Nueng and then I was like “thank god Dunk will finally get to play this as Style in THK” and now clearly Leng joins in. I couldn’t be happier this year lol This type, when they choose their man, it’s for eternity and they will consume them and eat them alive xD

Q will definitely have this puppy wrapped around his finger, he’s already weak for him and he just yelled at him and trolled him a couple of times. In the preview cat is already going for the flirty flirt attack, I feel bad for Min RIP LMAO

Also I was correct, they really give off the vibes of “A fisherman boy from a village, are you seriously thinking you’re qualified to protect me? Don’t make laugh. You were watching over me in a cap? You’re not gonna EAt? Don’t tell this to me, tell this to him. This means “idiot” in Chinese.” 🤣🤣 And in return it’s just: 🥺🐶🥺🐶🥺😍😍😍😘😘😘😘😘😘

Pls GMM don’t ruin this, this year I’m already scared of your projects, but hope don’t die

It’s all very sad to me. I get that they have a lot of artists and they all need jobs, but these shows where it’s really a bunch of people and none are written properly is pissing me off so badly. It’s really better to put away some things, wait or do less, than do this. On the other hand if they do less, many of their artists won’t have jobs, it’s like a cursed circle. And they keep getting more and more, while their writing and directing teams are clearly struggling.

And all the storylines aren’t even logically concluded. They throw some stuff in and it brings nothing to the plot or the characters and you’re just sitting there like.. okay but why?

Also I always say that they usually struggle to write even two characters, idk why this year they decided that it’s a good idea to throw 20 in every show so they just were there. It’s really starting to feel like “we need these actors to be there, so they would get paid, but actually we’re not planning to use them in any way”. And official CPs are there just to promote the show and make people watch.

I have a feeling (after seeing everything GMM related in 2024) that since this year is the first year that GMM increased the amount of their shows x2 with this p1p2, they have a hard time navigating all that and their artists&directors schedules with shooting. I keep hoping this trial period will end soon, I really don’t want to give up on Kidnap, The Heart Killers, Thame Po & Pluto. I hope they get their shit together by the end of this year, cause this first part was a huge disappointment. I genuinely do not understand the point of some shows… some were just really made way too fast to give them some time, others are really like.. were the actors even free to shoot this, it seems like they weren’t lol

The amount of the artists keeps growing and growing, but directors and writers aren’t, so it’s clearly a big problem, but they only get more artists. I have a feeling that the amount of shows with shitton of ppl in it is gonna increase, but the quality of characters writing is getting lower and lower, bc it’s impossible to write them properly in such conditions tbh.

Some are calling it ensemble shows as if it’s a quality writing about everything, but what we get is actually a whole lot about nothing, nothing is connected, nothing is balanced, a lot is going in circles and some things are just forgotten, it’s just a bunch of… stuff.

When I said that Bahmee didn’t feel anything for Judy and did it just bc she was the first person to give her attention no one agreed with me, but it was very obvious tbh. As is said that wasn’t supposed to be any romantic storyline between them. It was clear that she loves Tae, she just wanted him to be a little more attentive. In fact she doesn’t like many attention, she likes taking care of her partner, it seems to be her love language. That’s why she picked Tae in the first place, he was like that from the beginning. She picked him in school bc she wanted this dynamics herself. All she wanted is him to react actually, that’s it, she didn’t want him to be the one taking care of her in a relationship. She liked their dynamics. You might not like it, but it is what it is, I’ve seen a lot of such situations aka “I just wanted a bit of attention and spark back, I actually don’t want anyone new”. It happens all the time. It’s clearly not a show ppl here expect when everyone would unrealistically get their BL and GL couplings out of nowhere, even when it clearly doesn’t fit the character, I’ve heard people even wanting Jimmy to come in, but I really don’t see how this all fits here tbh, I’m sorry.

I mean when they showed flashbacks of Bahmee choosing Tae in school it was clearly seen that she liked him bc she wanted to be his “mom”. Otherwise she wouldn’t pick him. Idk why ppl just skipped this part and decided it doesn’t exist. Her being upset at him for her taking care of him and wanting the opposite makes no sense. She just wanted him to react to her taking care of him.

JaneRyan imo is a perfect example of wrong pacing aka when you dragged it for too long and it’s already not as interesting. Their tension was so incredible up to recently, I was really waiting and waiting for it to explode, bc that would be perfection. But no, instead we go the kindergarten route yet again “I like you” “but do you like me” “I do” “but do you really?”. I expected it all to be more mature and different vibe, but that is once again my idiotic imagination having its own expectations. I feel like they missed the moment and now it’s already zzzzzz.

The conclusion is I really thought maybe this is gonna be the first GMM show this year that I would like, but instead it’s again a no for me sadly. It’s a good quality show production wise, but just not for me.

😂🤣🤣 sorry lol Which country? I only know the song

where do you live? our time difference is 3 years 👀

I know they are, but I meant well known ones who acted in a very popular mainstream Chinese dramas, that is really unheard of. Unknown actors acting in bls is also nothing new

For real tho, very brave of him after all the… situations we’ve had. I’m also very happy though, let’s hope all is gonna be ok

You’re talking about chines novels being adapted into uncensored dramas, those aren’t new:) and trust me I know each one, I’m a big fan of Chinese bl novels

I wasn’t talking about that, I was talking about actors from mainstream Chinese dramas appearing in real uncensored BL. This has never happened before. It’s like imagine if Xiao Zhan or Huang Junjie would’ve acted in a real BL with kisses and all. This is new. My shock is from that.

so is! those who knows knows :) it’s in the novel, but drama also didn’t hide it much lol

was this inspired by “LOST”? 🤣

this is the first time I’ve experienced seeing one of my faves from censored Chinese BL transfer to an actual uncensored BL (and a great one too!!!) and my eyes almost fell out, I was so shocked. now redo Physch-Hunter and transfer MingHao here too pls lol

the fact that he was perfect Qin YiHeng adult hot psychiatrist, but here he’s a freaking high schooler, but both look equally believable is crazy to me knowing his age, here he really looks like a student and I have zero problem with it. I’m still shocked though. Can we have other great actors from censored Cdrama too? Pls pretty pls lol

I have a strong feeling that this is gonna be a series for me. I at first was afraid it’s gonna be “Dangerous romance” vibes, but to my utter happiness after seeing the MV and special it actually has “Never Let Me Go” vibes. It’s totally the “we just want to love each other, f*ck everyone else” vibes LOL

It seems like it’s gonna be at times angsty, might seem silly at times but you’re still worried even though you know they’ll be okay. A bit of torture, a bit absurdity and just them wanting to be together while killing some ppl in the process, which is fine by me haha

They seem like this kind of OTP which I have a weakness for like in that song:

“No, I don't care about them all
'Cause all I want is to be loved
And all I care about is you
You're stuck on me like a tattoo
No, I don't care about the pain
I'll walk through fire and through rain
Just to get closer to you
You're stuck on me like a tattoo”

I really REALLY LOVE those, I hope I’m correct and it’s this. I know there are camps who either adore NLMG to death or those who do not get the hype, but I’m in camp number 1. I love those romances that have plot, but also are really just about the two being very into each other. Those are the perfect combo.

And I actually don’t like depressing sh*t, I just want my angst with a happy ending. Angst very needed, but happy ending also very needed. This seems like my kind of stuff.

yeah, I’ve already written below that idk why ppl make it one vs the other, I’m very much WhiteLune and do not want any drama in between between while also kinda want that (bc Lune only has any intensity in him and becomes interesting when he’s with him lol). I’ve also said that making us dislike him in some aspects is a nice move imo bc it makes him less boring this way. I know it’s a weird take, but that’s just how it is for me lol

And yeah definitely no WhiteStar for me, I do not feel like this is the Team Edward/Team Jacob kind of series 🤣 or like with Gorya in F4 where everyone was team this or that. Here there’s no such vibe to me.

I think they have great warm chemistry, but their chemistry is just very sister/brother like to me. I really can’t do anything about it. Very cute, but I highly doubt spark is possible there. I really love Phuwin and I truly think he has chemistry with almost everyone, but I’ve never seen him emit any passion with girls. Even when he played prostitute and there was a hot het scene, there was still no spark, but when he flirted with Dunk during live all was intact for some reason haha

I only after listening to many of his interviews about his preferences in relationships in real life understood why it is like that. When he said that he doesn’t want to take the wheel, that he wants someone who will take care of him thoroughly and spoil him, I was immediately like “yeah yeah it is very much seen, Phuwin” lol

Personally I think he’s a good actor (I know MDL ppl disagree, but I really think he is), but sexual chemistry to me was never connected to acting, I mean if you don’t have it with someone, it won’t appear no matter how hard you try. So that’s how I feel when I watch him with some people.

But I mostly asked bc maybe in the comic there was also no spark, maybe they are just cute and that’s it. I mean ships like this also exist. She did compare him to “simplicity” while White was the “all-consuming love” in the previous episode, maybe there’s not supposed to be any spark. Then all the vibes might be correct and this is just not my type of romance.

I’ll for sure check if there’s a peach in home. If I have a peach at home.. someone create a good joke about Peach in Home 🤣

I love Scooby Doo and Ghostbusters vibes as it is without any romance, but I for sure wouldn’t mind if it was not a BL like Midnight Museum “wasn’t” a BL lol Or like in Gifted Pang & Wave “aren’t” a BL.

Plus as a shipper of tons of Korean and Chinese bromances nothing will stop me esp after that MV. If they bait, I will take the bait.

There are so many Lune-antis that Phuwin even asked ppl to “pls not hate Lune he’s only 16” lol

I just think most ppl aren’t big fans of characters like this. So far he’s only running away from his problems and very meh. As Phuwin himself trolled him I don’t think anyone would be fond of someone who’d rather run and hide and lie than tell honestly how they feel. That’s not a nice trait. And ink one likes a doormat. So it’s not that surprising that most are more fond of White who is very honest in his feelings, “no regrets” type.

But if you meant “being team White” as in wanting him to stay with Star than it’s probably a no from me personally tbh bc I don’t like her that much either haha

Character growth means a lot to ppl too tho, so who knows maybe he will change a lot. After all White did say he reminded him of himself in the past. This should come back somehow I think. I’m truly wondering if he also becomes brave or they will be the opposite sides of the same coin. Last ep Lune was super unattractive tho, everyone agreed unanimously lol
