Not a Robot

What would be great is if Tey stops overthinking everything, does the career he loves and lives authentically like Porsch, Earth (Cooheart), Gun (Green from 2gether), etc. We haven't seen many characters in a BL where a celebrity lives openly and proudly. Even Lovely Writer missed that opportunity.

I was more making the point that Teh tells people he loves them, really does love them, but is distracted with feelings for another. Tarn and Tey were school dating and waiting to graduate to really date at Tarns request. That's why Tarn was so devastated when she suggested they set aside the plan and commit and Teh didn't want to. He spent all of those years pursuing her, then suddenly his feelings changed. Like how at first he knew what color bra she was wearing, then in the end he didn't. I only watched it once last year and it wasn't my favorite show, so I can't remember the fine details though.

That's problem with Teh, he keeps screwing up and doesn't seem to learn from his own mistakes. That's a tragic character flaw with Teh. He fell in love with Oh-aew when he still had a girlfriend and now this. I know people like Teh in real life and they always end up dumped by some very good people. I don't know if they have perpetual FOMO or are addicted to "falling in love," instead of knowing how to nurture love for another. Oh Aew should just find someone better for him, and leave Teh to just live the cycle throughout his life. Makes me sad.

The rumor was, the author did not like the casting of the first season, especially Bas as Wayo, and was heavily involved in the casting of 2M2. They wanted to blame Godt, and tried to make it like the guys were on bad terms. At Godt's ordination, Bas was there and happily welcomed by God't mom. The video proof is all over YT.

I did not watch 2M2 during its initial run because I did not want to support such underhanded tactics. I ended up watching the season after seeing the cast in a few interviews, and realized that the actors seemed to be very nice people. I liked 2M2, but I still prefer season 1.

I like the first season better, but keep in mind, it is an early Thai BL series so they didn't have the budget or coaching that 2 Moons 2 had. I the end I watched both with no regrets.

Yes I know. Pressure from fan service and both parties were not on the same page.

I'm a professional SW so like you, I deal with human behavior. I agree, there could have been a mob attack on Tian and he could have been killed. I think Tian wanted to do the right thing, but being only 20-21, I don't think that he rippled it out. That's why what Phupha did was irresponsible. However, that's what I loved about this episode, especially that it came from the usually cookie-cutter GMMTV. Flawed humans were being flawed humans. I'm looking forward to episode 9. I ordered the book, but will not read the rest until the series is over. (The first 10 chapters were translated before the series aired)

I think that Tian had a change when he didn't die and when he read Torfun's diary. What GMMTV often does not convey well are the nuances of human behavior. Tian was merely existing in his rich kid lifestyle and he was unsatisfied. He even sought out information about Torfun and wanted to know more about her. The first 10 chapters of the book were translated before the series aired, so I know they left out a lot of his feelings.

To me, Tian is accepting the treatment he is getting. That's why he isn't going around crying and begging for forgiveness. What I appreciate is the humanness of everyone in this episode. Everyone was flawed, except Khama and the kids. Some of the fans are just running off emotion like everyone in this series.

The the series is ruined by this, they will be seriously disappointed in life, since this is how real people behave at times. It's easy to sit behind a keyboard and KNOW what you would do. I liken it to vociferously declaring how you will be as a parent...until you have a child.

Yes, for example, none of the rangers disclosed that they knew that she was dead the whole time, not even in front of the crowd. They just let Phupha go off. People act this way in real life in many instances, but the pressure is always there to be noble on screen. I love the human flaws shown here.

Some of us forget that our camera is set to Auto because we hardly take pictures at night. I would to that dumb move.

This series shows the reality of human feelings and emotions when they feel devastated and betrayed. It isn't pretty or rational, as these types are feelings seldom are. I give credit to the writer and director for not shying away from this. It's heart rendering for the viewers, but this is how people react to these types of situations in real life.

Butterfly Lovers was supposed to be a BL, then they scrapped that plan and hired a female actress to play the lead when publicity trailers/photos had already been released. I keep hoping that a company in Taiwan or somewhere else finishes Love is More than a Word.

Love is More than a Word is my favorite, probably because it was the first. Even the theme song is fantastic. It's implied that a M/W have feelings (constantly fighting) but no outward hetero romance. Unfortunately, the storytelling was disrupted due to the Chinese restrictions coming into play during the filming of the drama. That's what happened to Advance Bravely too because it was being filmed around the same time.

Thanks. I'm shocked because I don't remember him being mobbed like this even when he did publicity with Jason Xu and they had great chemistry.

Is this popularity from Word of Honor or was he this popular before the series? I know of him from Advance Bravely, but I don't follow any actors IRL.

I think they wanted to arrest both of them as co-conspirators which is why Tan was also smuggled out on the gurney, but only Bun worked at the hospital.

In my opinion this was the best Thai BL of 2020! No student lead characters, no angst over sexuality, no fujoshi either! The actors had chemistry, the locations were beautiful. I even forgive the plot holes and the fact that the characters make miraculous recoveries from severe injuries. Many action movies have the same type of unrealistic bullet dodging and miracle recoveries so I can live with that.

It only took 14 episodes but it bugged me that the actress playing Nam looked so familiar, but I finally figured out that she reminds me of Bright.

In the past, they've referred to their fake relationship. I think one of them posted that to the other on Instagram. I think there's a word in Thai that means fake boyfriend or shipped boyfriend or something. I also read somewhere that Max has a girlfriend. I can't cite any sources because this was back when they were doing TWM. They have said in interviews that they are friends, so to me, it's fan service.

I work with marginalized Janes, so I knew better to wait for the story to unfold since Jane was not the story teller. I've worked with people like Jane long enough to know they are not fragile zombies, and also want to take accountability for their actions, since it's empowering.. Even worse, people bought the abuser's story, that's how they get away with it for decades. Edited to put under spoiler.
