They have them, but you won't really see them in BL or any other lakorns (dramas) very often. You see them in talk shows sometimes though.

They are. I remember back in the day when it was all about having half-white half-Thai looking actors. Now the trend is East Asian. Thailand is beautiful because of their phenotypical diversity. I wish they'd embrace that more.

Earth is a prime example. He's one of my faves, but I don't why between Moonlight Chicken and Ossan's Love he's gotten so much thinner and paler. I mentioned it on Reddit and everyone responded to me like I was crazy. lol
Also, yes, I feel like ever since the "BL Renaissance" as I like to call 2020-2022, we've been getting so many dramas in which the writers underline that the characters are Chinese with "hia", "ma" or "ba" .

It's getting really bad. In Thai BLs now, I feel like all the male leads need to look Chinese or Korean and if they are more Thai-looking, then their skin gets lightened. Ohm Thitiwat, Earth Pirapat, and Apo all have skin more on the tan side, yet for each one of them, they're lighter in their later BLs vs their early ones....it can't be coincidental.

This is messed up. Not that I don't like Ping, but there are so many brown-skinned Thai kings that need more screentime.

And I feel like he gets hotter with every series I see him in. I'm watching him in WandeeGoodday now and I came here to see if he was the ML in anything else, but no...pure disappointment.

For real. It’s a crime that he hasn’t been a ML since Tonhon Chonlatee.

I can't say it was bad, but I think if I would have watched it week by week, I would have been very annoyed with episodes 10 and 11, but it's Thai BL, so I guess that's standard at this point.

We get all the way to the love confession and them being boyfriends and then suddenly EVERYTHING ELSE in the show is more important than the relationship...lol

So far so good

Watching this while watching WandeeGoodday is crazy, but I'm loving both.

No, it's not.

Idc I think he's so handsome even if he is evil and stupid in MSJ

It's also nice to see GreatInn be really physically intimate because they haven't reached that stage in MOR yet.

Omg 2025, slow down!!

I think being kinda dumb with a little bit of an ego goes with being a successful pop star in most dramas whether they're a macho straight guy or super fem. This is something I think his character, like others, may grow out of.
I like that his character is very aware of himself and how effeminate he is and still doesn't care. Being able to do that both in modern times and 200+ years ago isn't a sign of weakness to me. If he were really weak, after being literally beaten unconscious by his father, he would have tried to butch himself up or at least tone the camp down a little. Instead, he wakes up, wraps himself in a women's shawl, pins a jeweled peacock on his chest, slips on a shiny ring and shamelessly struts through village.
I hope they keep up the camp for the whole thing. Personally, I've never seen a Thai BL that centers a boldly effeminate gay man that isn't part of a big posse of other effeminate gay men. In this drama, it's literally all about big queen in the room and I love that.

That's true. Wonho does have a good butt though 🤣

I could be crazy, but I took Nut’s “something” line when he woke up as a subtle reference to Something in my Room. 🥰

If he has a nice butt, why not show it off? 😂 Plenty of tops (and straight guys) do it.

I'm so glad I discovered this drama because I'm having GreatInn withdrawls waiting for a new episode of Memoir of Rati every week.
