I think that Akin not being entirely focused on pressing charges against Johnny makes sense to me, and not just because nothing was resolved in the manga.

Just imagine what would happen if Akin actually tried to bring attempted assault charges against Johnny? The media/press and the lawyers represent Johnny would attempt to smear Akin's name, his reputation, destroy his professional career, and bring his personal life (including his true relationship with Jun) to the public eye.

Very many victims can't and don't want to put themselves through another aspect of assault, in order to get some semblance of peace and control back into their lives.

I am glad that Jun apologized to Akin for what he experienced, that it wasn't his fault, and that he did nothing wrong. That's all that Akin truly needed to hear, and the support he received from the man that he loves and trusts.

Or that there wasn't enough tongue! 😝

"You know what’s actually offensive?
Watching a straight couple on TV kiss with all the passion of two cardboard boxes trying to check off a checklist—and no one bats an eye. But two men? One forehead touch and suddenly the pearl clutchers are tweeting “SMUT!” from their fainting couches.
Honey, if your only frame of reference for gay intimacy is filtered through discomfort, that’s a you problem. Not the show’s."

Thank you. It saddens me that certain pearl-clutchers are losing their minds over two adult consenting male characters being shown and portrayed as thoroughly enjoying their sexual and physical attraction towards one another.

Neither Sorn nor Jun want to fully admit that they are still drawn towards one another, but they cannot keep their desires from erupting. Be it in the club, outside of a friend's backyard garden, nor their workplace.

Grey's Anatomy has been on air for almost 22 years and the entire premise of that series was based on a med student have random one night stand with someone who ended up being her boss.

We only have 10 episodes of My Stubborn. Not all BLs have to be some sort of innocent quaint stroll down a romantic garden pathway, with no sexual touches until the 11th episode.

And there was no sexual assault of Jun by Sorn.

Those pearl clutchers knickers are also very wet as they continue to complain AND watch at the same time.

This series reminds me of the gay sex comedies films from the early 2000s: "Eating Out" and "Another Gay Movie", and their sequels.

At least both Oat and Boat don't come across as having any sort of hesitation in portraying the sexual desires/needs of these characters.

I absolutely loved Pam, Rak, and their love story in this series. Their shared love was lovely to watch.

I am not bothered that there wasn't any cray cray third party aka Kawi out to destroy the lives of his younger sister and his ex-girlfriend, because he couldn't accept that Pam never, ever loved him, and that she fell in love with one of his younger sisters. Kawi was someone that truly had the weight of the "success" of his family placed on his shoulders, due to his waste of human flesh sperm donor not being willing or able to not spread his seed throughout Bangkok.

I enjoyed seeing Nene, aka petite spitfire seeking revenge against her Mother's horrible sperm donor of a sack of flesh Khem. She got her revenge, while also gaining another chance at having a loving supportive family AND got her hot lover Ms. Oat at the end of it all.

What made me smile was that Orn was able to rediscover herself again, finally freeing herself, and her children from that house of deception, betrayal, and lies.

I await future GLs with Emi, Bonnie, and I am thrilled with the upcoming "Girl Rules" starring View and Mim.

Finished the sequel after a binge watch. I know that the script didn't have the easy, and wanted no obstacle path to love that is expected in GLs, but I appreciated that Yi Ming realized that she had to become a bit more braver in truly embracing and accepting the love and support that Ting Ting was attempting to give to her, and the future of their relationship. She also had to see just how lonely Ting Ting was as just the live-in "friend". How that no status made her feel like nothing.

When Ting Ting told Yi Ming: "Why does your fear negate my existence?", that wasn't something that Yi Ming expected to hear, nor something that Ting Ting truly wanted to say.

Ting Ting has loved her since high school. I love that she never thought that she would be able to have until the moment of their reunion at that lesbian wedding 3 years prior.

Yi Ming was very lucky to have Ting Ting's love for her survive her fears and cowardice.

I am on episode 6 and at this point, Ting Ting has to stop accepting Yi Ming's dismissive and selfish behavior regarding their relationship and the place that she puts Ting Ting in regarding Yi Ming's future.

Yi Ming literally told Ting Ting that she hasn't even thought about her role/place in her future. Not their future. Hers.

She had Ting Ting move in to her place, but not into her life.

She doesn't want to treat her as her girlfriend nor partner. She keeps her at a distance, in regards to her job, her ex-husband, and their child. Then Yi Ming's upset that she feels like Ting Ting's keeping stuff from her. When Ting Ting wants to actually talk about their issues, Yi Ming tells her, that everything she has done to try and turn herself into being a supportive partner for them as a couple is a "burden".

I get that Yi Ming has erupted her former life as a wife and sole care-giver to her son, but that was her choice. Ting Ting wasn't in her life during her divorce and separation from her former spouse, but I feel like Yi Ming has been slowly placing fault and blame on Ting Ting.

Yi Ming wasn't at all ready to try and have a live-in relationship with Ting Ting at this point in Yi Ming's life.

I loved Miss Suzy in "House of Stars".

Me too and I was one of those anime viewers, but I can also not spoil things for others. I get no thrill from spoiling others.

Sigh 😕 😞!!

I may rewatch the OG series this weekend now.

Those "but in the manga/manwha/wattpad" folks live to do this all the time!

Agreed. The dynamics were way off with those three main characters. We also never got a drag out physical fight between Boss and Mo over Heng. It was like they were afraid to let it happen. To just let that tension go unleashed.

"But I also hope that GMMTV is satisfied with what they created and don't try to do it again."
😃 😄 😁

Grandma definitely should have much more of a presence in helping her grandson get more acclimated to their family farm business, with "Uncle" Hem's assistance.

How is Fifa supposed to remember all of the names of their employees, their dietary requirements, and the layout of the farm within 24 hours in being there?

The premise of getting Fifa on the farm suggests that it has been a very long time since he and his parents visited beyond his early childhood years.

I just hope Grandma isn't too taken aback when she finds out that her grandson has fallen in love with her favorite hired hand.

It is way better. IMO Haruta/Tin Yat Hung were stupid in their choices regarding certain thing, but they were never written to be dumb and clueless like Heng. It was a choice, and not a good one regarding Heng in my opinion.

"The humor does not translate and most GMMTV writers aren't able to improve the story."

The Hong Kong version was able to give their own spin on their adaption AND fleshed out their main and supporting characters. They kept the ensemble dynamic.

I should have managed my expectations.

Agreed. The absence of Choko, took out a major part of the depth from the original series. Which I think was done on purpose for the Thai remake. GMMTV knew the majority of their audience wouldn't want to empathize with Boss as this man, who has spent decades hiding who is from himself, his wife, and society, and still root for Heng and Mo at the same time. They would worry about their "morals".

Your review is absolutely hysterical and to me funnier than the series as a whole.

I am a fan of Earth and Mix, but I still can understand your opinion about them. This adaption wasn't the best way to showcase the comedic sides of these two performers, especially in how TPTB made ridiculous changes to the characters Earth and Mix portrayed.

I freely admit that I don't always get humor in Thai productions (be it lakorns, BLs or their variety shows), but this adaption was just so lackluster and over the top at the same time.

"So as alwayys, I'm not a fan of thai remakes, because while polished in production the lack in the story and the characters. It felt like "dumbed down". Did they do so to make it more appealing for the masses? I don't know."

GMMTV, in my opinion did dumb down their adaption of the Japanese BL. It seems like they wanted their version of OL to be centered specifically on the pairing of Heng and Mo, due to Earth and Mix being cast in those roles. I absolutely adore Earth and Mix. I appreciate that GMMTV gave them the opportunity to be able to develop their comedy skills, but the reason why the original OL was successful was due to the diverse and fleshed out ensemble characters. It just wasn't only about Haruto and Maki.
