After watching the second episode. I feel like they are bordering a thin line in dealing with really heavy topics…
In my opinion, Tharn does realize something is wrong after the way Type reacted. He just doesn't know what if going on and is confused.
Wiping the body of a feverish person is common in certain cultures. That was not a sexual move, nor would the person being wiped misconstrue it as sexual. Type even thought it was his father because at Type's age, his parents would be the people who would most likely do this.
I agree that both actors are doing a great job. I think they were smart casting somebody a little older such as Mew, because it's difficult to play a role such as Tharn.
Am I the only one wondering why Kao's students are moving to a different tutor? Why did they change the name of the cafe? Shouldn't I be more worried about Kao's mom and Non?
I'm sure its not. Its his revenge for the way type treated him. Btw it does not seem to me that they rimanticize…
You use the appropriate word, "revenge" and sometimes revenge blinds us to what is right and wrong. Us much as I don't like dub-con and non-con, I'm shocked that barely anybody is outraged over the severe bullying that Tharn was put through (not an excuse for revenge, I'm talking about it as a separate issue). Youth have committed suicide over this, one of them, Tyler Clementi was a college freshman like Type and Tharn. One of Tyler's bullies was a woman, so it isn't just a guy thing. What nobody can dispute is that the actors and director are doing a great job with this heavy material.
I'm amused at the same time appalled at the comments based on the last scene of the 1st episode. I saw the same…
Nothing should justify sexual assault in real life, and nothing should justify harassment and discrimination in real life either since people hurt and kill themselves over bullying. The author is employing a BL plot device of pretending they had sex to teach the other a lesson. Some authors use non-con, dub-con, bullying, etc. in their work and it may be the author's fantasy, and fiction is fantasy, not real life. If that particular fantasy makes the viewer uncomfortable (I'm that way with graphic violence) they should not watch for their emotional well being (I'm not being sarcastic). There is nothing wrong with having "dark" FANTASIES. I'm sure people who have darker fantasies already have to hide them. There is also nothing wrong with not watching either.
I am totally okay with the last scene of Ep. 1. Of course, I'm not okay with non-consensual sexual assault (and…
I'm not okay with non-con or dub-con in real life, but I'm surprised the final scene has turned Type into some kind of sympathetic character when he spent 75% of the first episode harassing Tharn for his sexual orientation, even referring to Tharn as a f@***t. Anybody who watched LBC already knows the outcome, we're just going through the storytelling process. It's interesting that both characters have flaws and have both made terrible mistakes and aren't lawful good like Pete and Ae. Maybe things will be more clean when the secrets are unveiled.
The first episode was very overall pretty good with a controversial ending. I just did not expect that, but according…
I think that after being referred to as a f@ggot, pervert, being harrassed, having his stuff vandalized, Tharn just wants to teach him a lesson. Unfortunately, some BL authors like to use this plot device, but Type also not be excused for what he did either.
I'm sorry this series is over. The acting was great and the story was more realistic (as far as young love, such as unrequited love, finding out that your high school crush is not "the one," falling for your best friend. What was great is that most of the guys expressed themselves eventually. I thought the acting was some of the best I've seen in a Thai series. The expression on Gun's face when Third agreed to be Kai's boyfriend was almost glowing. I'll miss this series. Now I'll wait for Until We Meet Again.
I mean I can't blame him. He's lived for years on scraps of affection and manipulation from Khai (usually to serve…
The acting is great. I just watched it subbed and didn't realize they changed the novel version. Khai also kissed Third while he was sleeping and that wasnt cool either. Just as it wasnt Khai's fault that Third secretly loved him, it isn't Third's fault that Khai realized that he has feelings for Third after Third picked up the pieces and moved on. The acting is so good, even from the support characters. Even though I could do without Lin and Paan, I'm enjoying the emotional conflict that is going on with all of the characters.
Maybe this is a plot device of the movie Flipped? I haven't seen that movie or any of the others that these characters…
I like both of these characters and they are both flawed. Third is furious after Khai kisses him again because he thinks that Khai is messing with him again. They both have the same annoying habit of not talking things out with the other person. In real life, if close friends fall out, they do not hang out together, and in real life, the "gang" would probably have gone their separate ways and just remain classmates. I'm waiting to see if the scene with Un is like the novel or if artistic license will be taken, just like adding the M/F couples.
I'm always contemplating myself while watching this series, simply because I can relate. The only difference is…
Do you regret it? In Third's case, in real life, it would be tricky being in love with your straight best friend and risk losing the friendship. Most people would just stay silent.
Okay. The more I watch of this, the more I think this entire thing is super toxic. Third is pissed off because…
Maybe this is a plot device of the movie Flipped? I haven't seen that movie or any of the others that these characters are inspired by, so I'm not sure. In my opinion, after being "tested" and being called by another person's name while being kissed, I don't blame Third for acting this way. Third is treating Khai like a regular friend now, just like Khai wanted. Since the subtitles haven't come out, as far as I know, Khai still hasn't told Third that he watched the video and talk about his feelings. Instead, he is being typical Khai by trying to treat Third like the women he seduced and dumped in the past. Third is protecting himself by acting like this, because he has been hurt before. Do I hurt for Khai? Yes, but he is acting like Third, having feelings and not talking about them. All that I know is, the actors are doing a really good job in their roles.
Wiping the body of a feverish person is common in certain cultures. That was not a sexual move, nor would the person being wiped misconstrue it as sexual. Type even thought it was his father because at Type's age, his parents would be the people who would most likely do this.
I agree that both actors are doing a great job. I think they were smart casting somebody a little older such as Mew, because it's difficult to play a role such as Tharn.
