Seeing Takara slowly letting down his cold facade, is what got Tanaka to see that his friend's feelings for/relationship with Amagi is very serious to him. I also loved that Amagi admitted that they were dating to Tanaka.

Next week, we get to see Takara smiling.

It's giving the actors, the opportunity to develop their talents, beyond being just cute, or hot performing living dolls.

"Maybe this is not the transcendent superhuman couple that we see in most BL's, but this is your average couple that we find everywhere - their relationship might end in divorce, or they might improve themselves and become that near perfect couple that others can admire. Who's to say? "

Exactly. What I'm enjoying, is that this series is basically blowing up the little fantasy world that many viewers want BLs to be stuck in.

Loving the casting of this series, and another TV adaption of a Sammon novel. Nice!!

Thanks for the link. Hoping for a create script for this group of actors!!

"Did you NOT see him as some fictional character?!" I loved that Yusuke was the one that said that line. The confusion and pain Jun is going through, at this stage of his life is a reality for many gay/bi men, and they see how BL dramas, mangas, etc. are all the rage. Yet, they are raised in a society that constantly says that, they have to be "normal". they "have" to date a girl, they "have" to marry a woman, and they "have" to become fathers, so that they can be a "productive member" of society.

Jun's Mother, hearing him asking her, "Why am I still alive?" is just so heartbreaking. No mother, should ever hear their child, asking them that.
I'm glad that Ryohei had Jun's back, and that Miura thought about her behavior, actions, and words more clearly, so that she can actually be a real friend to Jun. So that he's not hiding behind that invisible wall anymore.

A wonderful film.

I still don't see Pla's or Toon's "side" in this segment of the series. Their manipulations, set-up the situation for Bew to manipulate them all, in his need for revenge, and retribution.

Copy A Bangkok certainly understands how certain fans behave via online and in-person. The diehards still holding out for PS, MG, & BW. Kitty with tears in her eyes!!

I knew that I recognized Inspector "Tight Pants" from "Manner of Death". Excited to see him in a lead role.

I knew that Mamaouci had his own at home idol "wall" devoted to Issei! I am in!!

"And let's stop considering all females in BLs are devils, just because they are girls, please."

Thank you!! 👏 👏 👏

That's why Wimol loves to live inside of the fantasy world that she creates in her personal life, and in her professional career as a director. Those fantasy worlds, in which the female character, always gets her HEA, with the man that truly loves her, for who she is, not for what she represents.

Thank you for clearing that up. I was wondering why some viewers were behaving as if Hom already had her way with Peak.

Look at all of the "Is there an HEA?" postings! 😕 😞

"The ending had to be what it was, because they each were representative and those factions of society still exist."

Exactly. In acknowledges his "cowardice", but the world/society especially in Thailand isn't based in a BL. Real people are still fighting for their rights to just be able to exist, and that fight is never ending. There are some people, who are exactly like In. There are some people exactly like Wang. There are some people like Wimol.

Exactly. Wang knows that he just has to be a bit more patient, wait out those three more years of college, and then he can go on the journey, to explore his world, outside of his mother's influence/control. Then, Wimol will continue to wonder why Wang never wants to be around her. Sigh. People never really do change.

"And I hope more Thai production companies take a chance and make more LGBTQ+ series instead of only focusing on BL."

I hope so to, but from what I'm seeing, I don't think that folks really want to see more LGBTQ+ series out of Thailand.

Maybe that's what gets viewers upset. There's no way that all the years of living in denial, would be overcome by In having another chance at having a love in his life. He was completely shocked by Wimol's reveal that she hates him. He did everything that he could, to try and make sure, that she had the possibility of a happy life with Siam. She resents that the shadow of In was always present in her marriage to Siam, and that her son also fell in love with him.

He should have, but how many children don't make that much needed move, for their own sanity, due to their love for their parents/families?

I wasn't that shocked/surprised by the ending. Wang truly believes that he has many years ahead, in order to finally get the life that he wants. Yet, he's going to have to put aside his mother's wishes, in order for that to happen. I don't see that as being "selfish". You, as a child, should be able to aspire to your own desires, wishes, goals, hopes, and dreams for living your own life. I cannot comprehend that some parents, instill this believe that they are "owed" something from their offspring. That their children are an "investment" that they are due "benefits" from them for the rest of their lives.

Spiteful, deluded, and jealous Wimol. She blames In, for what she's always known about Siam. In, still feeling guilt, and shame for being who he is, and finally seeing how Wimol resents him, for the role he had in Siam's heart/mind, and that her son Wang chooses him over her.
In is still the 52 hertz whale, Wang is still the obedient son, who still loves, and resents his Mom, while Wimol continues to make the world all about her and her needs/wants. Same old, same old.
That philosophy book In gave to Wang is very important. That you can read about the philosophy of life, but never allowing yourself to apply that philosophy to live your own life. The fact is that until generations (young and old) get truly fed up & tired of doing what is expected of them, they will never be able to truly live the lives they yearn for.

Maybe that's why BL has such a hold on viewers?

"It kinda felt like the writers just shrugged and expected us to be okay with it."

I think that the writers did that, because as much as it bothers many viewers in seeing that sort of behaviors/actions, I think that is something that happens all the time. Especially when you have been raised to give/show respect to your elders (even when they are in the wrong). The grandfather is constantly physically assaulting his grandson, while the grandmother sits docile, not doing anything to prevent her husband from abusing their grandchild.
