I'm finding it hard to correlate the description of this show with what we're watching, well, perhaps a smidgeon. The story is quintessentially Thai, a fantasy with a handsome, scantily clad, disappearing ghost prince who suddenly enters the life of a cute boy who also dreams of being with him. It's all a bit silly but I'm going along with it. I do like the prince's revealing outfit, nipples and all.

Trope or not, I wonder how many times they had to rehearse the accidental kiss before Peach was able to fall exactly on top of Sun so the kiss looked accidental, and then he lingered before pulling himself away, neither of them being the least awkward about it. Indeed, they became close very quickly and in no time Sun was leading Peace hand in hand into the tailor's shop. They do seem ideally suited to each other.

I was pleasantly surprised with the overall quality of this new series and enjoyed the first episode very much and it even had a few genuinely funny moments. It should have much to look forward to.

A lot of work and effort went into this series with its large cast and all the hoopla associated with a pageant/contest in addition to the various subplots that helped to make this drama more substantial. In the end, I think it was quite successful and shows that the Philippines is not a write-off in relation to the BL genre, many of which have been somewhat lacklustre, but here, the main leads were attractive, performed well and were given a good script. It all came together in the finale where everything was resolved and allowed for a jubilant finish. Well done to all involved.

Set in a small, remote, provincial village, this depicts the lives of the people who live there, in particular, Loy and Kaew. Life is tough for many of them and not everyone is nice. Amidst all this, Loy and Kaew, who have known each other most of their lives, fall in love. In the middle of this first episode we saw what I suspect was their first kiss. But how is their love going to survive?

My only gripe is the habit of seeing girlfriend instead of boyfriend in the subtitles, and it's not only in this series. It's such a basic error, I don't know how the producers of these series can let it pass, but quality control ought to do something about it!

Quite the plot twist!

The pilot is not bad at all, indeed, a complete story in itself. I hope the series is not far off.

Keep posting the links. Thanks. I'll then watch them all at once.

Video and audio quality are poor, the subtitles are often hard to read, being in vertical film style doesn't help either and the plot seemed familiar. It was more melodrama than drama. Never has a character's face been slapped so often as Bert's has. Fast paced, Bert and Ken went from one dire situation to the next one, much of it caused by Ken's bitch of a fiance, Ink, who was often dressed in slinky and revealing clothes. Near the end when she's gone crazy and out for revenge, she has Bert tied up, has poured kerosene on him and is pointing a gun at Ken. It's not clear how they escape certain death, but of course, they do, thus allowing for a happy ending. However, it takes a lot of effort to watch right through.

The problem is not they both have the same name, it's that the male and female versions should be spelt differently - Jun for male, June for female. Even though it's a Western name, plenty of Thai characters use them. They should have done that to avoid confusion.

The description vastly overstates what is seen. There is no spoken dialogue - the few lines spoken are not heard but are subtitled. It is also repetitive. Barely worth watching.

You'd think given the short format of the series that with three episodes the story would be clearer than it is. The boys are easy on the eyes, the traditional Thai costumes are a visual delight but as for everything else, it's just a bit of a mess. I hope it gets better.

The reason something's not right is that the three of them overthink everything, whether it's to do with themselves or someone else. That's probably why the love confession which resulted in two kisses - one from each of them - suddenly blew up. Where it goes from here, heaven only knows.

The relationship at the centre of this movie took up less than 5% of its content. The rest was mostly irrelevant. Some scenes went on for far too long. There was a little homophobia and an incident of astounding ignorance about HIV transmission. The choice of music seemed to be at random. One pop song that was first heard (for far too long) was later repeated over different footage and fragments of the first movement of Tchaikovsky's 'Pathetique' Symphony was heard three times - the sombre opening at the beginning, the ending at the end and most bizarrely, in the middle, where the opening music accompanied a scene of two boys prancing on the beach with sparklers. Overall, it was dull and a waste of time.

Now that you point it out, I now understand how going to London to bring back Earl Grey tea morphed into a mission to expedite the return of Prince Khanin.

Out of curiosity, I checked the Balenciaga website and the men's products are limited to very expensive footwear, sandals and what they call mules, which are chunky slipons. I don't think you can call it product placement because Balenciaga is not listed in the end credits. As for Sorn buying a pair and giving them to Jun because they were the wrong size is so much nonsense; he could have exchanged them but instead gifted them to Jun as a secret expression of his affection. He scored the jackpot with this attractive young man who is new to being gay and wants him for himself using the pretext of being his sex teacher and relishes every moment of his tutelage, especially kissing him, of which he takes every opportunity. Sex buddies be damned: Sorn is besotted with Jun but outwardly speaks to him in an offhand manner to conceal his growing emotional attachment.

Freakin' cute, adorable, add any other adjective that you can think of. Give me Boys in Love over The Bangkok Boy any day, no contest.

Can someone explain to me how and why Sun ended up in such a rough prison? Thanks.

It has the crunch of a limp lettuce leaf, on top of which, the subtitles leave much to be desired, especially when people refer to themselves in the third person, and the pronouns are also wrong.
