It was a little confusing, but made sense at the end after a lot of paying attention. :/ I guess it was better than the first one, but I don't know if it needed that many twists.
I liked ep 6. I enjoyed the scenes with Note and Tar, as I find them absolutely adorable. I also enjoyed the conversations Nut has with Phob's sister and with his friend Gun (also cool to see Prem again :D). HOWEVER, I really, REALLY missed Phob this episode. I'm confused as to why we only got to really see him in flashbacks. COVID restrictions, maybe?
Anyway, I'm usually a big baby when it comes to sad BLs, so I've been expecting a big cry session, but nothing yet. Somehow, this series manages to be bright, warm and uplifting regardless of how sad the circumstances are.
QUESTION: I'm on Episode 2. Do folks in northeastern Thailand really eat on the floor? Are there no tables anywhere?…
It's not that there aren't tables, it's just that people in many parts of the world, sit and eat either on the floor with a blanket, on the floor with a small table or sitting atop a raised raised platform like in A Tale of A Thousand Stars. It's not uniform, though. Sometimes, people sit at the table and other times they'll sit near the floor. I've personally seen this in China, India, South Korea, Japan, and Thailand. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's only Europe and the Americas that don't have any cultures in which people often sit on the floor to eat.
About Water Boyy the Series, I'm almost positive that was just a mistake in set design. LMAO I'm glad I didn't notice that while I was watching it myself. It would have bothered me so much. hahaha
Highest rated BL series on MDL is the untamed "9.1"
I understand your sentiment. However, as a society, I think China's able to progress just as anywhere else can and novels as well as the shows like The Untamed mean a lot to people, especially young, gay Chinese people still finding themselves here, so I just wanted to point out the positive aspect of it as well. Cheers

As someone who lives in China, I'd just like to clear a few things up about LGBTQ media and people's perception of it the LGBTQ community here.
1. I'd like to point out BL in general very often mocks and/or miscommunicates the LGBTQ experience. Its priority has always been entertainment, not representation. That's changing nowadays though with shows like this one, but even this one, like every other kdrama is trying to attract people with actors with flawlessly clear skin and big, round eyes. 2. LGBTQ media is not banned in China. Chinese fans make up a lion's share of the international fanbase for Thai BL. And no, you do *not* need a VPN to watch Thai and other Asian BLs here. 3. The production of LGBTQ media is also not banned here. It's restricted. What that means is that if it's being produced by a major company and being broadcasted on major platforms, it can't show that kind of stuff. Which is awful, but that's the government's rule, not a representation of the sentiment of the Chinese people (there's isn't a representative government here, after all). Much smaller platforms like Blued, a Chinese made gay app which currently has the more members than any other gay app, even more than Grindr and Scruff, has recently produced some explicitly gay media that was filmed here in mainland China. Honey Sir is one of them. I think it's available on YouTube. 4. In China, no one who's a fan of shows like The Untamed, Guardian, or Word of Honor sees them as 'bromance'. lol Everyone understands that it's a (censored) homosexual romance and they enjoy it precisely because of that reason. My friend actually watched Word of Honor with her dad and even he was like "Wow, this is so obviously gay." 😂
So, yes there's still a loooooooong way to go here, but if I'd say the Chinese have been given lemons (in terms of freedom of expression of queer love) and are making lemonade (in the form of bromance).
I said it before, but it's confirmed now. I'm going to watch this entire series week by week purely and shamelessly for the visuals. I don't care how Leo fixes his mess or anything else. I know they'll end up happy anyway. Bring on more guys in basketball uniforms!
Make It Right was my first BL. I watched the first and second season when they initially aired and I've been closely following BL ever since. Somehow, this series managed slip right under the radar on me until now. I'm excited to see Peak and Boom on screen together again. I had missed them so much since and the only very short glimpses I'd gotten of them were in Why R U? and You Never Eat Alone.
Most people don't want to know what's going to happen at the end of a film before seeing it. Saying what happens at the the climax and end is considered spoiling. The only reason I gave you such an extreme example is because I'd said it twice in plain English and you still didn't get it. This makes my fourth time saying it now, so I'll be done with you as well.
The writing was kind of dull and Sugiyama's (Izumi) acting wasn't the best (mostly in the 'funny' freakout scenes), but overall, it wasn't terrible. If I hadn't read the manga, watched the anime and watched tons of other Japanese BL, I probably would have rated this higher.
love stage!! is my favorite manga and anime. i love it so much and im thinking maybe i shouldn’t ruin it for…
Yeah...you may wanna skip it. lol I loved the manga and it was the first BL anime I ever saw back in high school, so my expectations were higher than they should have been.
Saying what happens at the end is saying what happens at the end, whether you give context as to how it happens or not. What you just said is tantamount to having said the lead actor dies at the end of a film and then when someone says, "Hey, you spoiled the movie." you try to defend yourself by saying that you haven't spoiled anything because you didn't say *how* he died. You told the ending and that's generally considered spoiling. Saying your opinion about the ending wouldn't be, however. So, yes. I know what a spoiler is and now maybe you do too. No, I hadn't seen the movie yet. Saying your comment is a month old and no one mentioned anything about it is irrelevant. It doesn't mean you didn't spoil it. It just means no one had said anything yet. lol And no one's gatekeeping anything. I was just pointing it out.
