There’s a lot of Mandarin in this series, and honestly, more than necessary. And considering the context of traditional religion, using a Southern Chinese language like Hokkien would probably have made more sense. It has much stronger historical and cultural ties to Thailand, especially since many Thai Chinese are Hoklo. So it’s kind of funny that they went with Mandarin, a Northern language that doesn’t really have the same connection to traditional Southern religious culture.

That aside, the only actor who really nailed the Mandarin was Godji. She speaks naturally, with clear and fully understandable pronunciation, and her delivery is fast and fluent in a way that actually sounds authentic. Phuwin is understandable too, but his accent is really unusual and he speaks so slowly that you can immediately tell he doesn’t actually speak the language and is just reciting memorized lines. Sky didn’t have many lines, but he sounded a bit more natural than Phuwin.

But for God’s sake, please stop letting Krist speak Mandarin. I genuinely couldn’t understand a single sentence, and the second-hand embarrassment was unbearable.

I fully agree, Net has much better on screen and off screen chemistry with JJ, they really needed more time to find themselves. My favorite BL ship forever!

Unfortunatelly Sanran remains stupid and naive for next 10 episodes too.

Last week I was complaining that the first half of the series barely even felt like a BL anymore, it was just Nakhun’s adventures in the land of tiny people, and Net had basically been reduced to a side character in his own show. But this week Net and JJ finally got half of the episode to themselves and were actually allowed to show some emotions.

This episode was really heartbreaking. I completely understood Nakhun’s fears and inner struggles about what’s going to happen next, and Phop’s tears honestly broke our hearts too. Such a solid episode overall!

It’s very similar to the Taiwanese series Agent from Above 乩身, which premiered on Netflix last month. However, that series was based on a bestselling novel, had a much bigger budget, better CGI, and felt far more authentic because it was deeply rooted in Taiwanese culture. I think WU 巫 is trying to copy that vibe without really understanding it as a whole cultural and religious system and just adding bromance feel to it.

Problem is that we don't get much plot to be focused on.

I really like this series and I adore the actors, but it’s honestly getting frustrating. Whenever Net and JJ are actually on screen together, it’s great, but in an episode that’s over an hour long, they barely get one or two scenes, and those last maybe 10 minutes in total. Meanwhile, we get like 20 minutes of servants gossiping, and the rest is focused on the second couple or JJ doing things that feel pretty pointless and, honestly, kind of boring. Even for a slow-burn, the last six episodes haven’t really gone anywhere. Sitting through over an hour of that just for a few minutes of BL content doesn’t feel worth it.

The costume department really should get a raise after what they did in episode 5, especially with what Net's wearing.

This is already the second episode carried entirely by JJ and his incredible acting. It’s honestly hard to believe this is his first TV series — his facial expressions, his gestures, everything feels so natural and real that you’re not bored for even a minute. And that one scene with Net, the chemistry was chemistring.

I love it! The production quality is excellent, the story looks engaging, and it’s set in a real place where people behave like they do in Taiwan. The elders speak Taiwanese Hokkien, and if you’ve ever lived in a small island community there, you can really feel the same kind of vibe.

Some other Taiwanese BLs are deliberately made to be more internationally accessible, so they strip away local elements and create an artificial “BL world” that feels disconnected from reality. As a result, the emotional experience for viewers becomes diluted and less authentic.

This one truly feels like Taiwan, it looks like Taiwan, sounds like Taiwan, boys are not only handsome but also have some solid acting experience and the story is engaging.

It is called Wade–Giles transcription, the official system for rendering Taiwanese names in the Latin alphabet. “Ren Yao” is a form used only in Communist China; no Taiwanese person would wish to have their name spelled that way. 李壬曜 should be rendered as Li Jen-Yao, and 江曉彤 as Chiang Hsiao-T’ung. One should not be irritated by the fact that people in Taiwan do not regard themselves as Chinese. All actors in the series speak Taiwanese Mandarin or Taiwanese.

It's a Taiwanese series, it has nothing to do with China, they speak Taiwanese Mandarin and Taiwanese.

They are Chinese, so I wouldn't expect them to exist in International Internet, they have their accounts only in the Communist Intranet.

15-year-old Chimon, rubbing his pants while watching the other boy give a blowjob, had better BL vibes than he did seven years later in Dangerous Romance.

Scam concentration camps are a real horror taking place in Cambodia, Myanmar, and Laos — all countries with close ties to Communist China. These camps are mostly run by Chinese criminal networks linked to the Chinese Communist Party. Just last month, a South Korean student was found dead in Cambodia, reportedly after being tortured in one of these scam compounds.

It’s estimated that over 200,000 innocent young people from China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan are being held captive and forced to make scam calls targeting their home countries. Last year reports indicated that at least 300 Taiwanese individuals are enslaved only in Cambodia, suffering from inhumane treatment. Even high-profile figures aren’t safe — Chinese actor Wang Xing was reportedly abducted in Thailand and sent to a scam camp in Myanmar.

This series exposes what life inside these camps looks like, and how only a few ever make it out alive.

This is a Taiwanese drama, partly shoot in SE Asia.

If you act in a BL drama, you get a lifetime ban from being a public figure in communist China.

if you read Chinese you know it's already an official instruction from the CCP, so it's not fake.

His performance really improved. I’ve actually grown to like his acting style — it might not be super polished, but it’s still pretty good.

After nine episodes, I finally get what makes this series so good and why it’s such a joy to watch. Boys in Love has incredibly well-written, fully fleshed-out characters. None of these boys feel like cardboard cutouts—they each have their own personalities, flaws, and strengths. You can’t help but love all of them, even if sometimes their behavior makes you cringe a little. And what’s really impressive is how consistently they’re written—props to the screenwriters for that.
Tonight’s episode gave us bitchy Mon, poor Kim bouncing back and forth between his boyfriend and Mon's manipulative mom, besides that Kit finally starting to feel like what he does might actually make Shen proud. And don’t even get me started on the chaotic duo Per and Tar—every scene with them just makes me so damn happy.
