yes, it's the same in my country too. and yeah, you made a strong point about toxic masculinity and sexism. hoping for the day people realise all of this. i used to think that the gendered name calling thing in thai bls might be because of a cultural thing but a conversation i had with a thai friend has led me to believe otherwise.

I know shouldn't even be bothering but I get kinda annoyed because I finally find dramas about people like me and even that is taken over by people who refuse to listen to actual queer voices. Instead they have their own "opinion" (which isn't an opinion at all because they shouldn't be part of this discourse if they're not part of the group) and call themselves "allies" at the same time. The hypocrisy gets tiring.

When y'all realise that there is no woman in a gay relationship and no man in a lesbian relationship REGARDLESS of their sexual positions or who gets fucked by whom and referring to them that way is reinforcing heteronormative roles >>>>
Do you not see the problem? Maybe I'm bad at explaining because English isn't my first language but please, like I said in my first post, if people are angry or disappointed about it let them be angry

No no you didn't get my point. TharnType is a fictional couple written by a cishet woman. TharnType ain't real but gay people are. They can't feel uncomfortable because they're merely characters. And it's not about calling him a woman, it's about reenforcing heteronormative roles on a gay couple which is what my original point was as well.
What's the problem With calling Type " Wifey"? Me a "Girl" I don't have a problem with this Word between a Gay…
It's about fetishisation and heteronormativity. Please listen to queer people when we say we don't want heteronormative standards pushed on to gay couples. We all know that a majority of BL watchers are cishet women and since they are the target audience of most of these series, writers forcefully try to insert terms that will be enjoyable to them. I'm sick and tired of seeing the same old stuff. Please let people be upset when they keep having to deal with this in real life as well as in dramas which are supposedly supposed to "represent" us. If y'all stopped hyping this part up, the writers would stop doing it too. If people have a problem with those terms, let them complain because they have a good reason to do so.
Gav initially came across as a superficial guy but as the series progressed we got to see different sides of him. He wasn't your typical suave flirty perfect lead either. He had his faults-got jealous, insecure, etc. And I loved how the conflict was resolved at the end because every scene flowed so naturally into the other. None of it seemed forced, the problems in their relationship didn't arise out of nowhere either.
I loved how subtle things in this drama showed that the characters had changed and were willing to make compromises for the other. For example, when Gav missed Cairo's call when he needed him (in the initial episodes) so he started bringing his phone in the shower to ensure that if there was a situation in which Cairo required Gav's help again, he would be there for him. To show that he cares....
One thing I would've liked them to discuss more the whole "outing" storyline because it's quite common in real life (shouldn't be though.) But I guess there wasn't enough time to cover everything since this is quite short. Considering how there were only 13 episodes, each around 25 minutes long, they did a great job of spinning a plot and giving it a satisfying close.
Both the creators and the actors did a great job. I'm looking forward to the sequel.
(sidenote: I heard that the whole series was filmed on a smartphone and I'm not sure if this is true, but if it is then I'm even more impressed with this series.)
