Well, I thought about it. It's just that I'm very sensitive to those characters who are extremely nice. It's so fake. The "extra" reminds me so much of the robot in "Are you human too?" and I'm still not over the fact that everyone was smitten by the robot while the human was the real hero. Talking about Kyung: he doesn‘t have it easy either and I can understand why he hated her so much and behaved like a dick. While the other guy is just smiling like an angel the whole time. Sigh ...

This series somehow reminds me of Addicted/Heroin. It's raw and casual and doesn't seem so "staged".

Then I'm watching the wrong dramas for sure ...

I cannot be the only one who is rooting for Kyung. It just annoys me that the heroine in Korean Drama is always getting together with the super perfect guy who has no flaws and no personality except for being extremely nice. I'm honestly thinking about dropping it, because I'm not interested in the romance with the "extra".

Oh, thank you! It's working!
And it must be nice for the actors to hear you're too ugly for a main role. Jesus ...!

The acting feels pretty natural or is it just me? I wasn’t looking forward to this at all, but now I’m excited.

I'm not a fan of ToL. I would hate it with a passion if not for Gun and Off who are two sweethearts. Off's character was unbearable to watch for me and Gun's character wasn't any better. I really am a bit confused why so many love it and don't find any fault with it? Especially because BL fans are so critical ...

I cannot comment on the story, didn't understand a thing without subtitles, but when I heard they complained about actors not looking good enough I suspected they were talking about Huang Juan Zhi LOL. I must admit I would fall for such a guy immediately. There is something about him ... mostly his gaze. He could be less skinny though, that's true. After watching the first two episodes, he is my favorite for sure.

I liked the polyamorous part of the story (we don't see that often), but the action part was a mess. Everything just happened somehow. It was also very easy to dislike the characters. Shin (Tay) being an exception. But many seem to praise the series. So what do I know? :P MorkSun look interesting though. I now remember you mentioned on the Dark Blue Kiss site that you're not excited for TayNew ...

Yeah, I have heard about the drama with Art. I dropped What The Duck, because it wasn't to my liking and I honestly don't want to try watching it again. So I don't know if Mew looked "better" in the past, but I suspected he went through some rough times. I hope this series doesn't get too much hate. Everything is just so toxic lately. Don't like it, don't watch it. I think it's terrible if actors, producers, directors get hate. As a viewer you can write a negative comment/review, but that's it. This shouldn't get personal. I mean if he didn't recover fully from what happened in the past, and now people are hating on the series! Jesus!
Talking about the novel, I'm even more confused now. Is Type gay or not? If someone gets abused as a child there are more or less two outcomes: they show exaggerated sexual behavior – or the opposite is the case. Type seems to be a rather typical heterosexual man who doesn't seem to have problems with his sexuality. But we don't know about the abuse. Did it happen over years or just once? Was it a stranger or a family member? Those factors play a big role in how this kind of trauma develops. Whatever. If the author is not going that deep, I‘m not mad. It's a story after all.

Not a fan of Tay? *crying in a corner again* LOL Then you will miss Dark Blue Kiss? What a shame. 3 will be free wasn't to my liking though. I think the actors did great (Joss too for a rookie), but the story was so far fetched and all over the place. I couldn't get into it :( So I cannot tell you to watch it ...

This has to do with sexuality I guess. I mean I like any kind of action (girl/girl, boy/boy, girl/boy). I'm still not over the threesome kiss in 3 will be free. It was so beautiful *crying in a corner*

Local fans are complaining again? Sigh ... In the meantime I will replay that scene. The girl is cute *blushing* Those local fans should try making their own BL. I guess, then every series would be the same and they would be happily watching the same stuff over and over again. I even read somewhere they are also complaining about the actors not being attractive enough? I think the cast is pretty good looking and charming.

Never heard of Dante's cove, but it seems I didn't miss anything? The first thai BLs I watched were so cringy, I never understood why people are going crazy about them. But now I'm a fan too. I think everyone has the right to criticize a series, but it angers me if people are coming again and again after EVERY episode and complain again and again. I mean, we get it, they don't like it. Move on! This is such a horrible situation for the actors, producers, directors. That "hate culture" is a bit worrying.

LOL. I'm still mad at Knock for never kissing his girlfriend in "Together With Me". For me it makes the whole plot more believable if there is some boy-girl action too. Not necessarily regarding the (gay) main characters, but at least put a hetero pairing in the show or a female friend. A universe where everyone is gay and male just doesn't exist. I really enjoyed the hetero couple in Trapped and I love Yihwa and Cho in TWM. Still I'm here for the gay, of course :P But hetero, lesbian, bisexual action is great too :P

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! A love scene with a woman! NOW I'M HOOKED! I LOOOOOOVE IT! My BL dreams came true! I soooo hate it, when they don't dare kissing women in BL. It makes everything so unrealistic. And what a scene this was! I'm fainting ... ahhhhhh ... Oh god, now I cannot wait for the intimate scenes between the boys! YEAH! Sorry, just had to came here to say that. Don't understand a word or what's going on though. No subs :(

And they are getting better and better. Some years ago BL series were cheaply produced, rather cringy and bad acted. Not to mention that most of the old days low budget gay movies were depressing and ended with one of the characters dying. Nowadays we get cute, romantic and well produced series.

LOL

Oh, I think, Mew is an attractive guy. "Dark" and "edgy" is something that many find attractive. I just strongly feel that he looks a bit unhealthy. It's the eyes, the face. He isn't that slim, but when you look closer he seems to have very low body fat. This guy is just bones, muscle and skin. When you look at the image of him on the actors site his face is much puffier. I wouldn't even recognize him seeing him now in TharnType. I normally don't comment on actor's looks. The only time I did that was when watching "Because it's my first life", a Korean Drama, where the male lead was HEAVILY underweight, but everyone was like "He looks so hot." Mew on the other hand doesn't look underweight. Like I said, I cannot point my finger on it, but I still think for his age he looks a bit "wrecked", which sure is part of his charm. I find him much more appealing and attractive than Gulf. What I meant with "sensual": That scene at the end of ep1 was HOT. It's obvious Tharn is lusting for Type, which some people don't seem to like considering the circumstances. This is not some puppy love.

Talking about the series: The pace isn't that great. Ep 1 started with "I hate gays". Then we only got a tiny flashback that showed us how they got along before. They didn't take their time to develop this relationship. Also, Type blushed in the last episode, because of Tharn. I just think it happens too fast. But well, it's not that big of a deal. They have to start somewhere I guess.

It's always the same in the BL genre. It's NOT about the story and the characters or the writing, it's mostly about how people want their BL to be. Fluffy, hot, cute, romantic ... Surely not controversial and politically incorrect. Sigh.
