I finally found a comment I can relate to. Everyone seems to love this and here I am stuck on ep 15 for a while…
I'd be stuck on episode 20 since a few weeks before I wrote that comment. A month later, I am STILL stuck on episode 20. lol
"But Shen Wei is supposed to look like that from the book. lol He’s cover is a timid looking book worm, kinda gave way to a comic relief when his identity is revealed"
I think they will bring up and clarify why exactly Pete left, but with so much of the first three episodes dedicated to Ae's depression, I wonder if waiting until the fourth episode (or possibly even later) was the best time to do that.
Seeing the Tin/Can relationship redone doesn't bother me so much because it's redone in a particularly bad way (so far anyway), it bothers me because of how easy it is to get confused with S1. I almost feel like before you watch either season 1 or 2, you should watch some clips on YouTube and see which couple appeals more to you Pete/Ae or Tin/Can. If you like Ae/Pete more, watch it in chronological order. If you like Tin/Can more, watch season 2 first, then go back and watch season 1 to get a more in depth background of Ae/Pete mixed with an alternative start for Tin/Can.
A decent save, but I could have done without Dim and Green. Wasn't interested in their aspect of the series to begin with, but the fact that they take up so much time made it worse.
Run Yu was the best that anyone could hope for as the result of abandonment and abuse as a child. He had tact, ambition and broadmindedness. Jin Mi didn't deserve him and it was mostly his stepmother that increased all of his faults. The main reason I could never become a fan Xu Feng is because of how doggedly he defended his evil mother. He's a selfish caricature of a hero.
this girl ACTUALLY out here being a detective over some thai bl drama, IM WEAKKKK-- are you done venting? spamming…
Over 6000 comments here. No one's forcing you to read mine, agree with them, or reply to them, sweetheart. lol You're doing that all on your own. You're being quite the hypocrite tbh, but that's your business. I'll leave you to it.
Breaking the fourth wall, excessive amounts of screaming/squealing, "cheesy" laugh tracks, and just general over-the-top cheesiness all have a very long-standing place in the campy indie gay film world. People even remotely familiar with that world, very easily understood what this series was trying to do. It may have gone over the heads of the people who made it to this series just because of Talay though.
In general, no, but the Kengkla/Techno arc of the story is extremely problematic.
Fortunately, that aspect of the show really doesn't take up a lot of camera time at all, so it's kinda easy pretend it's not there, but yeah. Perth is adorable in this series, so is Saint.

Kla pays his best friend (who also happens to be Techno's brother) to essentially help Kla stalk Techno before raping him and then manipulating Techno into thinking he had taken advantage of Kla instead of the other way around. Pretty fucked up.
Other than that single aspect, this is one of my favorite BLs of all time.
U must have been through a lot on 'defending' the gay rights as it makes u being sooo skeptical to even slander…
I wasn't gonna comment, but here I am. Disclaimer, I don't agree with the OP at all, but seriously? LGBTQ documentaries give false messages to audiences now? You're really two-for-two on your "I like to watch gay people on TV, but shut up about LGBTQ issues" theme here. lol
It's coming off like you either 1) don't think our (LGBTQ) voices are important or 2) that this series is above criticism.

That makes it all the more worse. lol
