J100

The first episode was perfect; the only thing that is not perfect is having to wait a full week for the next episode.

I do not watch Chinese BLs very much because there are hardly any of them. I was not impressed by what I saw in terms of production compared to Japanese series over the past year. In terms of budget, they have more money, which mainly results in more actors and more extras, but that does not mean the production itself is better. From what I have seen, the editing is not very good or convincing. They also tend toward excessive violence and fantasy, which I do not connect with. I do not see them as a standard for comparison, since they are also a dictatorship that allows no creative freedom. From my perspective, there is nothing to discuss about them.

As for Korean BLs, I do not think there is anything to talk about either, because again, there are hardly any productions. Most are low-budget and very poor. I have not seen a single series that meets proper production standards. They do, however, clearly have the potential when they have a budget, unlike the Thai industry, where it would not happen regardless of the budget. This is not about budget or schedule, but about culture: there is no professional training, and no real desire to learn or to teach. I agree there is boldness, but it is a trashy boldness, not boldness with depth or a meaningful statement.

Yes, it is a plot, you’re right, but everything else is hard to argue with.

This is simply not correct. You gave three examples, and that is not representative, but as I already wrote, objectively these productions are still superior to the Thai productions in terms of professionalism and standards of production and acting.

Sorry, but filming such an amazing landscape does not really require cinematic skill… cinematography is not the right term for shooting a perfect landscape.

Why are they so violent all the time?

This is one of those shows that are really, really bad, yet you still want to watch because it is awful and everyone’s treatment of each other is awful. I have no explanation for why it is entertaining.

What is certain is that James is gorgeous, and that is probably one of the reasons for watching this thing.

I am not sure whether to call it a series, since there is no real plot. Something was also very strange in the second episode: after Fah was so enthusiastic, he suddenly flipped, then flipped again a third time. Either there is something wrong with the character, or the script is very strange.

I love this so much,I love this style, and these two actors are doing an amazing job as always—so charming and really funny.

I guess I’ll have to watch all the previous episodes then—maybe I missed something. I don’t feel like I did, but now it’s frustrating, because it was an important scene at the end.

From what I understand, he likely suffered mistreatment from the production. I am not deeply involved in the details, but I do know he has the full right not to continue acting. He did his part. If others are disappointed, that is their issue. He does not owe anyone an explanation or an obligation to stay for another season.

This is objective. You are welcome to ask people who understand production and acting to compare—it is like asking a musician about another musician; they will give you a more professional assessment than a casual listener. But of course you can simply enjoy it, because that is what matters. Just enjoy watching it; if it makes you feel good, the professional opinion of someone who understands is not that important.

It reminds me of first 2Moons. The main couple is also among the most successful couples so far Most likely many will not agree with me, but it feels like a perfect couple. Both actors are attractive, with very strong acting abilities compared to most actors in the genre. There is chemistry between them. I love the flow and everything that happens between them. I wait for every episode with great anticipation, and it passes far too quickly. I wish there were two episodes a week.

I watched the unedited version; it seems there is no difference.

Is there any substantive difference between the versions aside from that?

You really sound like an extremely rude person with selfish demands. Who are you to decide how an actor should conduct their career?

I do not understand why the scene in which Fah compares Phoon’s notes is missing. They showed it last week. Was it cut?

When viewed all at once, it is entertaining and tolerable in some way. I do not connect with the concept of one minute episodes, so I watched everything from start to finish. When watched like that, the series is entertaining, but at times also unintentionally funny because of the low production quality, the old fashioned sound effects, the exaggeration in some scenes, and the familiar tropes.

Still, Kimmon remains charming and impressive, and clearly makes an effort even within such a shallow concept, so my feelings are mixed. On the one hand, I support him and am happy that he continues to act. On the other hand, I am sad that this is his situation, that he was once such a star and is now being given series like this. He is also very handsome and a good actor compared to many other Thai actors, which makes it even more upsetting .

It is a very cruel industry. I do not know why they treat actors this way. Compared to other countries, it looks from the outside like they treat each other worse than anywhere else, with a lot of disregard and a certain cruelty.

This feels even stranger to me because, on the surface, Thailand is considered one of the most tolerant countries when it comes to gays. It may be that this is only how it appears from the outside, as I am not familiar with the country in other respects, but it gives the impression that everything revolves around exploitation.

The series you mentioned are not particularly strong, yet they are still several levels above Thai productions.

In terms of acting ability, there is no comparison at all; in most cases, Japanese actors are significantly better. Even in the 3 series you gave as examples, the acting was superior to that of any average Thai production.

You provided only 3 examples that were better. Considering the large number of Thai series and the recent increase in Japanese series, there are still fewer Japanese productions than Thai ones, and yet the overall quality remains higher.

Even the weaker and mediocre Jseries are still better than the Thai productions, but name them and I’ll understand which series you mean.

What amazes me about Off is how extremely different his character is from his real-life persona in such a convincing way. I do not think he is the best actor in the world, but he is still a very good actor, especially compared to most Thai actors.
