i saw a lot of people excited for this show a year ago, desperately waiting for its release so i decided to check it out. But genuinely speaking, what's the point of watching this show? Akk is literally already in love with Theo and i think they try to set up this harem thing but I mean we all know who Theo will end up with. It just seems too basic and boring to watch 4 guys fight over Theo while he ends up choosing 'the best friend who was there with him all along'. Also book and force look soo much like siblings that its throwing me off. Hmmm hopefully maybe they'll introduce more interesting things in the later episodes
there are two parts to this show which p'nuchy wants to show. the social and political commentary on thailand and an interesting and dramatic story. From episode 1 we saw things from white's perspective which involved a lot of learning about political issues. the ethical discussions honestly soon start to become very repetitive and it felt like the human rights lectures were being shoved up to us every 2 mins. But why ep 7 is so iconic and monumental is because its able to mix the dramatic tension of the story and actually bring some progression to character interactions with a social and political discussion which touched a lot of people's hearts.
episode 7 was truly stunning. the way it carried and discussed the social issues from legalizing same sex marriage to equal rights to LGBTQ+ people. the scene with seanwhite under the flag i felt spoke so much rather than just an intimate scene. it was heartwarming and touching and i got all the chills from it. danyok finally got so much more screentime and the tension they have is absolutely gravitating. im so excited to see what's in store for all the characters
This show honestly gives me such big ITSAY vibes. The pacing and editing is perfect. The little sunset themed color coding makes everything seem so much more natural and soft. The music hits so right and the acting is absolutely on point. The characters don’t exaggerate their emotions and actions and they react to each other in such natural ways. They also do a lot of subtle things that are so charming to watch. Also, the humor is imbedded in such a subtle way, there’s no ‘funny’ noise or laugh track played in the background to let me know that I need to laugh.
If you are considering watching this, please don't be swayed by the low (not sure if a 7.7 is classified as low but for me it kinda is) ratings! I would definitely give this show a 9, maybe even a 9.5
the story so far is really good! i think its paced quite well and we get a fair amount of screen time for each couple. every relationship so far is super cute and im excited to see where this goes!

what do you mean about the age gap? predatory behaviour? power dynamics? what even? can you please explain what parts of the show you felt was showing any of these themes because im genuinely curious. the two main characters are literally both working adults so i dont understand why you think there is a huge age gap as well
Let me disagree about Joss and Mek, because they are doing it really great in this series... What I find really…
Yeah honestly I saw Tay's acting in dbk and it wasn't that good but I excused him because I just hated kao but seeing him here, he doesn't do much he feels like a newbie
Why can’t Korean bl’s be longer I’m tired of these 10 min episodes. It gives very little time to build a…
I honestly think that even with the 10 min episode length shows like tms, ymmd and wyel were able to leave me with so many amazing feelings which these shows cannot. For some reason the quality of kbls have seriously dropped and I really hope they can pick back up. The longer airtime would obviously still be very helpful to flesh out the characters.
For the most part I've liked the short Korean BLs that have come out in the last couple of years. Usually they've…
Yeah i definitely agree kbls started off pretty strong with wyel, tms and lom but they soon started of going downhill from nobleman ryus wedding, color rush, my sweet dear and so on. The chemistry is usually lacking and in like 3 eps we see them falling in love with no apparent reason for it happening. Its insane how TMS has almost the same run time as these shows (i think it has an episode more) but was still able to leave me with so many feelings about the main couple. Recent kbls are just not doing it for me and I really hope they improve them
