I kinda agree with you. i watched sotus recently and hates the sequel, oh my gosh it was so annoying, i hated…
I understood that and I meant that it would be hard for me to watch them in other shows without seeing them as Tharn and Type if they play in the same show. But, of course, I long to see Mew in another BL series of course. Gulf as well lol
really, guys? you don't want to see their future? there is one book left (by mame). four years later (at this…
I saw that it was adapted from a novel but have no idea what it's talking about. I asked around for a link to the novel or a way to buy it but nobody helped. So now, I am just speculating and dreading a cataclysmic sequel lol

@Frenchii You have a great idea here that reminds me of the Taiwanese drama Autumn's Concerto from a decade ago, but, to be honest, it also gives me the chills, especially the third wheel part lol I had to deal with Lhong, San and Tar in season 1, my tolerance for shameless thieves is running thin... lmao

@unabashed I am glad to see another person who's not mesmerized by Sotus and Sotus S, because, for me, it was one of the worst series ever. The storyline and acting were exaggerated to the point of becoming ridiculous. As for TharnType, I agree with you. The last episode was somehow the cherry on the cake, a very satisfying ending. So now the last thing I want to see is a sequel that would destroy that harmony. Roller-coasters aren't my cup of tea!!! However, seeing Mew and Gulf together in another series would be hard for me because they will always be Tharn and Type for me (I first saw Mew in What The Duck but I also detested that series. In fact I watched it only for his character Pree and his relationship with Rambo, but the whole thing wasn't memorable. So I am glad he got a main role here). And that's exactly the problem I have with Until We Meet Again because Fluke who plays Pharm is still Bank from My Bromance for me lol
Now that I've purchased the last episode, and watched it, I have a "broader viewpoint" (Tharn's words lol) about the storyline. I loved the 13th, special episode, even more than the previous episodes, but now I don't want a season 2 anymore. I am too scared of a catastrophic sequel. The sequels in BL Thai series are often evolving around cheating, betrayal, breakups, love triangles, parental problems... (so tiring)... I don't want any of those in a season 2. In fact, while rewatching the episode 13th, I tried to imagine an acceptable season 2 plot and the only one I've found--considering the way the series ended--would be to see Type and Tharn after they graduate. I don't want a sequel like in Sotus S and TWM: The Next Chapter where the characters experience finding a job and starting work... (too boring)... I don't want to see Type regretting his choice and fleeing with a woman either, that would piss me off, to be honest... I watched so many BLs and read so many BL novels/mangas, that the only thing I still look forward to in a Thai BL series (because I've seen it elsewhere, and seen something like it in a Thai movie) is to see the main couple of a BL drama get married, settle in a nice neighborhood and start a family. It sounds boring and tiring, but a gay couple isn't a straight couple (I know what I am talking about for being gay myself) and what sounds easy for others, is always a feat for gays unfortunately. So, I was telling myself that if the crew plans something of that sort for season 2 it would be great (no need for farfetched twists, TWM TNC has them all already)... something without melodrama and tragedies would be still fine too. I don't want unnecessary headaches after the funniest episode I watched in a Thai BL series.
Well you wouldnt like it anyways lol petes not in this one
Thanks for your recommendations but I watched all of them already. I watched Reminders for the sake of Phun and Noh (From Love Sick 1 & 2); I missed them after all these years. I was a big fan of Bad Romance and Together With Me at first, but TWM: The Next Chapter disappointed me to some extent. As for Sotus and Sotus S, I detested both, not my cup for tea I guess but I understand that others love them. With Thai series it's 50/50, I may love or hate a series, depending on the storyline and the acting. Currently I am watching Until We Meet Again and Why R U?...... and I like both :)
RIGHT?? HIS ROOTS MAN, IT'S KILLING MY PERFECTIONIST HEART (Also Flukes' hair in the water scene. like dude, it's…
Yeah. Moreover, Fluke's hair looked a bit longer than before and after the trip. It doesn't matter in one way, but in another it lowers the realism of the scenes. Just like Dean's tattoo, it looked so fake, I could see the mesh fabric of the cloth like in those tattoo sleeves and shirts that are in the market. They could have at least used a real tattoo capture on real skin lol
I think I love this 13th episode even more than the other ones. I liked the humor (I hesitate, which is funnier. Between Pharm eating the egg or Win wanting to eat Team lol), the intimate scenes were also just right and funny... and, of course, Intouch and Korn (Earth and Nine) did a great acting work once again; the simplicity in their acting and the scenes is very touching!
I've just got one problem with Win's hair. In episodes 12 and 13, from the growth in his hair, it was obvious that the trip sequences were filmed after the rest of the series... it frustrated me. I am a perfectionist and it was all I saw through two whole episodes. It would have been better if they bleached his roots LMAO
Apparently I like everything in this new series except its title, I consider it very banal as it isn't memorable. This put aside, the second episode is even better than the first. For once (yeah, I am an eternal "thirdwheel supporter" lol) I am totally smitten with the leading couple. FighterxTutor have an incredible chemistry. I feel that Saint in more at ease in this series than in LBC. I don't know if it's true or if I am only imagining things, but it's really beautiful to see. Love it :)
It's been several years but I still remember this show. I watched all the episodes/stories but my favorite is beyond doubt Renai Shindan Unmei no Kodou; I wished it were better developped. A full-length drama focused on the latter would have been amazing. I liked every side of it (quoting, intrigue, cast, movie set...), except maybe the acting that I didn't find convincing by then. The acting was even more awful in the other stories. As a matter of fact, the acting can't save a terrible script, and the scripts of the three other stories were.... hopeless.
This is the very first BL I ever watched. I watched it when it first aired and I can still feel the disappointment, along with the confusion. The acting was robotical and cold, the storyline purposeless and far-fetched... the ending? No comment about the ending. The adjective to qualify the ending is not invented yet!
Forbidden Love is one of the worst BL movies that I have ever watched, yet I don't detest it. I don't recommend you to watch it, it's a disastrous show and a total waste of brain energy, but it doesn't harm to give it some time. The story is ridiculous but that's one of the cutest sides of the movie. The other is Masashi Mikami *-*
Well you wouldnt like it anyways lol petes not in this one
Honestly, I didn't like Pete that much. Saint is cute, but Pete was not irreplaceable. I think Perth did the best acting job with Ae's character, he was somehow the force that pulled the couple Pete and Ae forward throughout the season. Mean was another impressive young actor as well, I liked his acting in both LBC1 and Until We Meet Again (that's airing), but I couldn't bear myself to ship his character (Tin) with Can... the duo seemed ridiculously mismatched to me. A Pete/Tin match would have pleased me more *feeling helpless* All in all, I think I better not watch season 2, I fear to destroy the tiny pieces I appreciated from season 1 (I learned my lesson from Thai sequels). I can always rewatch Reminders to soothe my disappointment lol
I watched 12 episodes in 24 hours, I think this speaks for itself. I liked the series, but I think I'd have liked it more ten years ago. I am particularly fond of the intrigue and the flashbacks (although messy sometimes) give all the meaning to the storyline, but the latter (the storyline) is rather weak. I know it targets a younger audience, it's not supposed to answer metaphysical and existential questions, so--taking this point into consideration--I'd say that it's well-done. The script is coherent and the scenes well-woven, there's confusion nowhere for once. The acting was good; Nine and Earth (Korn & Intouch) are my favorite duo. The only thing I didn't like was the general cast, I'd have prefered to see new faces (and to see new people given a chance to play), I don't say that their acting was bad, it's just that a show is always more convincing when the actors are new. Maybe... one of the reasons why I liked Intouch more than Pharm (My Bromance is still too fresh in my mind, fresher than LBC, sorry Fluke!) and didn't appreciate the side story much.
I see that this series is adapted from a novel. If anyone can tell me the title of the original novel and its author's name. I'd also like to know who wrote the script of the series, I'd like to watch/read more of their works!
I will start watching it now. I've been on a break for months because of a few, BIG, disappointments. This better be good, otherwise I'll go on strike lol
I don't expect less from a Japanese movie, they seem to often carry a hidden moral. I just hope the pace is not too slow because the recipe "open ending + slow pace" does most of the time lead to a fiasco lol
However, seeing Mew and Gulf together in another series would be hard for me because they will always be Tharn and Type for me (I first saw Mew in What The Duck but I also detested that series. In fact I watched it only for his character Pree and his relationship with Rambo, but the whole thing wasn't memorable. So I am glad he got a main role here).
