Okay , this is not that great but at least it's better than Check Out and Physical Therapy 😭
If I had a dollar for every time I've seen this exact statement, I'd be very rich right now. Just how much of a dumpster fire were these two series? Literally, everyone hates them. lmao
I'm here to complain about the lack of Baiboon Khom content,, he has a fever and we didn't even get Khom nursing…
Agreed. How tf did we get a threesome between the bodyguards before we get any true intimacy with Khom and Baiboon? PRIORITIES, people. Sidenote: if a bodyguard orgy would have happened in KinnPorsche, I think I would have lost my mind...COULD YOU IMAGINE?!
Did Khamol forget Kim tried to tell him about his past relationships and he said not to and that he doesn’t…
I think Danil gets unfettered access because I think Kamol might technically be a subordinate of Evan, who's Danil's brother. So, instead of dealing with Danil losing his shit and possibly bothering Evan, it's just easier for them to just let him slither around and make rude comments all day as long as he doesn't get physical.
About the Cherry thing. None of that made sense to me. What's with the scarf? What is this? The 70s? A pair of sunglasses and a face mask are not only commonly worn nowadays, but they make for a more effective disguise...as opposed to a very conspicuously bright head scarf.
Speaking of dropped series, are you watching Unforgotten Night? If so, how is that going? I dropped it two weeks…
I've just picked up where I left off (ep. 9). Baiboon has clearly just fallen off the skateboard onto his backside, but somehow his knee hurts and now needs to go inside to clean his wounds?? And his knee is full-on bleeding when we literally saw him fall on his ass.
You basically just described pretty much most of all BLs , that's even like the definition of the genre. It's…
As a gay male, I'm going to have to politely disagree with you. Yaoi/BL for most of its existence has been very niche and until series like this and the whole world of Thai BL (SOTUS, Together With Me and onward), it wasn't very mainstream, so it never really was representation for gay men to the point that it could cause mass misperception that wasn't already in place.
I will concede that a lot of BL features toxic romances, but a lot of the times, the relationships are presented as they are because they're supposed to be perceived as toxic. Addicted and TharnType are good examples of this. The characters aren't meant to be taken as a norm. An example of a toxic BL that tried to pass the relationship off as OK was Together With Me and Kengkla and Techno in Love By Chance.
I don't think BL, in general, leaves us in a worse off position as a community for a few reasons. Firstly, cishet women aren't (and never have been) the chief antagonists of gay men. BL existing (flaws included) underlines that point. Secondly, cishet women's perceptions of how gay male relationships are/should be don't affect how gay male relationships exist. Cishet men's perceptions do, though. Third, dominant and submissive roles exist in humans naturally and get accentuated when there are pairs. Yes, sometimes, it will happen in BL that it seems like there's a "guy" and "girl" role, but can we really say Addicted is an example of that? This series oozed masculinity everywhere. Bai Luoyin had zero qualms about telling and showing Guhai how much of an asshole he was and he never feared him or played a damsel-in-distress role. In many BLs, the relationships don't develop in heteronormative ways even when the actors are cast to make it look like the should (for example, in some Thai BLs, the "top" will be cast as a taller, tan guy while the "bottom" is shorter and pale).
Lastly, I think we agree in that we want to protect the community for ourselves and future generations, but in the same way straight people don't need to throw away princess fairytales stories or romance novels, I don't think gay people need to disregard BL...especially when the quality of them is only getting better while still being largely written by cishet women and largely appealing to cishet women, although that too is changing as more and more gay males are becoming fans.
Beam is the Kamol we deserved. Yoon should have been cast as Kom. Every time Yoon tries to be "threatening" with his facial expressions, I feel like I laugh so loud my neighbors can hear it.
