Not a Robot

Thanks for the video. When you said goat's head, I didn't realize it was chopped up. I've seen pig head in markets, and it's usually the whole head. I would try a piece of it because I've never had goat meat. The dish looks like curry, but I know it isn't. In the description she says this is comfort food. It's interesting to learn about other foods in the world.

Yes, it can be jarring. Tours that I went on would roll up and the guide would purchase a sampling. I couldn't bring myself to try any of them, but was surprised that the other foreigners would at least try them. I took food tours in Thailand because I feel you can learn about culture through food, and I like to eat.

I would be curious about the snake and snails, but I probably wouldn't eat the heads, unless the meat was already removed, and it was a secret. I liked the Thai boat noodles until I found out there is pig blood in the broth. I don't think that I will eat them again, unless I can get over it psychologically.

I realized that I was hetero when I was 12. Before then, I hated boys, and today would probably be assumed gay. I'm surprised you didn't realize you were gay before 18. I could see where you were 13 again when it came to love. My thing with Rich and Greg is the parent-child relationship. I trust my family more than anyone else, so this would be the ultimate back stab for me. I'm glad they all got their happy ending, and I agree, Rich should take a break, and figure himself out. The Rich character seems to like younger men, so he needs to figure out how to navigate that.

This version is better than the first version, and that was really good.

He comes from a family of sociopaths, and probably is one as well, so I don't think that he knows what to do. As is written by Blair, et. al. (2006), psychopaths (not saying Kim is one), they know the words, but not the music.

Boat is the character who acts stupid, but actually knows what's really going on there. With the idiotic people he works with, it's a skill. That's why I like him.

Yep! If Nine hadn't ghosted Daonuea, he would not have gone back to Tee. But... Daonuea's broken heart mends easily because he got over Tee real fast. As they say on reddit, ESH, except Boat.

When you go to Thai markets, you see them everywhere. I went on food tours and they always stopped - you guessed it! I did not eat any of them, not even a cricket. I didn't say eww since my culture has foods that others find stinky and gross. Maybe if you go on a tour some day, you will try them. My fellow foreign travelers did.

Two months, that long? I give it as long as when Greg's uncle's, cousin's, son's, friend comes to visit and one of them leaves to get beer.

I've been monitoring this robe since episode 1 and it hasn't been washed. The fold lines are there from when he bought it. Tupe wasn't very good about laundering the robe.

I want to offer my point of view, and I'm a person who has low tolerance for violence. Not just in BL, but fiction in general, we have characters who are not perfect, but it's up to the author to redeem them. Some viewers become escalated during the violent scenes, and the comedic moments break the tension, and adds a touch of human element, so that we stay grounded.

I think that both Vegas and Pete have PTSD, and being males in Asia, they don't get to show it or talk about it. We saw Pete kick the s#it out of someone over a debt, but what his dad did to him is still haunting him. Vegas never fully de-escalates, because he keeps getting abused before he has time.

Not everyone hated TharnType, in fact, it was very popular. MDL can be a little Tumblresque at times, but in reality, TT was super popular, especially in Thailand. Before COVID put a stop to it, Mew and Gulf were being hired everywhere to promote things. Mame is also coming out with another series from the LBC universe.

I would be really hurt if my child or good friend betrayed me. I would always love my child and would be willing to forgive in time, but I would also need to let them have their adult consequences to their adult decisions. If Tupe cheated with a rando down the block, I probably would not feel so strongly. I have a soft spot for Rich only because he made a commitment to his wife, and stuck to it. I know that gay men had beards for centuries, but at least he stuck by his decision. I know Rich isn't a saint, and Tupe is an employee, but he must have felt like he was 18 again, and this time he gets a do over with a man. Now, everyone gets an HEA at least.

P.S. You won't get on my bad side. My BFF and I debate all the time about topics, but we just stick to the topic do not get personal, and are still BFFs.

Thank you!

I did not think of this angle. This series is like a 1500 piece puzzle. Thanks for sharing.

Asking for a friend, are the uncut versions significantly different where the plot is affected?

We're waiting for the DNA results. In the meantime, there's a funeral. Not joking, from the novel.

Finding out that Kim is also a true crime stan is one of the best BL moments for me. I loved true crime before it was popular, so the bulletin board scene is one of my favorites.

I like this show too. It's just a simple comedy, where opposites attract. I really like Earth's look in this series.

Episode zero is at the resort and they fall in love. It's a prologue. Watch at your own risk. People who watched Ep 0 seem to really dislike the series.

Had a Calvin Kleing sighting on KinnPorsche too while I was catching up on the episodes. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, now I cannot, not notice it!
