I'm really looking forward to this. After reading the novel, I didn't think this had the content to be a series instead of a film, but after seeing the pilot, the changes they made will make it doable.
I enjoyed this series. It was campy and funny. Camp comedy is not for everyone, but I loved the bats, Thaiwlight City, the capes, the over the top villains, the Tchaikovsky music, etc. I am an OG audience participant of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, so will always have a soft spot for this type of series.
I'm hoping him choosing the door will take him back to his body. I know his body is dead but ya know.
I can see that happening, but it would be a cruel twist for some viewers. Some people already losing it over Ming and Joe, and if it were all a dream???
We only have one more episode. I didn't like Ming that much, but loved the acting, even the supporting characters. There are a lot of Chinese BL novels written with a darker tone, but I hope they don't adapt more of them after Addiction.
IS JOE ALL RIGHT IN THE HEAD? THIS MAN IS SO DUMB! HE'S A FUCKING IDIOT! STUPID AND AN IDIOT! HE JUST KEEPS ON…
I think Joe is an idiot too, since once Ming started being nice to him, he let go of his goal to live a different life in his new body. Love makes some people idiots. Some people are on death row and doing life without parole over love. In the end, Joe will have to live with Ming for the rest of his life and be his puppy.
I'm hoping him choosing the door will take him back to his body. I know his body is dead but ya know.
His body is ash and sitting in a urn, so it will be difficult, but I get your point, he should go to be reborn. Being a Buddhist, that is their belief.
Come on Thanwa! Don't go back, he is already cheating on you (phone action at the table). Also, Latte, stop being dense. Be straight forward with yourself as you usually are. I love this show and care about the characters, even the supporting characters.
Anyone knows if there are Chinese bls like those kinda, but before the censorship came in? Like before 2016.
This was the first danmei BL, so no historicals, only modern. Butterfly lovers was supposed to be a BL, but the law made it change to male x female. In my opinion, had China not passed the law against gay and feminine men on screen, they would be where Thailand is today, or at least neck and neck.
I saw the poster and thought, "This can't be in China." Then I noticed it was Thailand and felt relieved that…
I'm still worried because the govt still has reach with social credit scores, etc. But since they are allowing the actors to work in this series, hopefully they will allow a censored version for China and an uncensored version for international release to keep the actors out of trouble.
Love is More Than a Word was so good (what we got of it). Happy to see another fan!!
Back in the day I said that I wish Taiwan would adopt it, but people were telling me the accent thing, etc., but now that time has passed, maybe people would be more forgiving of the accent.
This series is a good example where they use the actors looks and willingness to show themselves shirtless to…
My thought was that there are visual and fantasy elements for some gay viewers. Gratuitous bare ass, shirtless men, 3P, a gay mafia boss with a naked harem, handsome older men (school director and coach) and sports, are not usually for the girls. Just my speculation lol.
Saw the preview for Ep 11, and it looks like Ming's dad is going to pull and An Ziyan type imprisonment. I know the older Chinese BL novels have a lot of r@pe, violence, but since I know we will get a happy ending, I'll just live through it. To me, Ming is only redeemed because he is a fictional character with a lot of baggage. In real life, Ming should have gone to prison. Both Up and Poom are doing a great job playing complex characters who have major flaws.
