BOMB of 2020, BEST BL story ..A case study for LGBTQ+ and Its emotions.

Hello Lovely Pancakes,

I am an ardent fan of Thai BL and I can't get enough of GMMTV series, though of the new studios are making the cut, ITSAU and LBC, UMWA are example of Superior Acting and lesser Focus on Fan Services for Girls.
BUT!!! Pinoy industry has taken the BL world for a Ride and OMG!! its so much needed in this Pandemic 2020.

GSP is a case study on HOW A BL STORY SHOULD BE.. Mere Love at first sight by Leads and then Happy Go merry at the end is not the reality of LGBTQ+. The Struggle and pain is much more than what it looks, So showing reality does help someone who is in dire need of a Ray of light in this Dark world.

GSP has the best Writing ,Dialogues that can be quoted for Ages to come, screenplay that is simply and Yet the most difficult to pursue and Above all, the Finest acting by both the Leads.. I have a confession, My only reason to watch this series was that the lead (KARL) looks like Angel Rivera :D , Yes the CockyBoys exclusive model. But OMG, i never thought I will end up being a FAN of this series for the life lessons it has given.

Let's be true, Dialogues and screenplay here is as amazing as Christmas.. Man.. We see Thai series leads saying "Phom chob nai" (I like you) and people go Gaga about it and in here people complaining about Dialogues. I will just put in some of the Line from EP7 and 8, this only to show how beautifully was this written, I just love the writer for being so genuinely awesome.
1. Vlad: "I do not want be the Plot machine to trigger his identity crises ", This shows the pain he himself went thru and doesn't really want a closets guy ever to go thru such.
2. Karl and Vlad opening up about their family background/detail, that monologue by Karl, "How you felt if you are not the lead in your own story, you are just a supporting role"? See the Pain of the boy , he is sick of pretending to be what he is not, sick of living a life that is hallow and so made up.
3. Uncle Stani and Vlad conversation downstairs "Everyone has their right to take time to come out and none should Pull Out", This is the so true, those LGBT Ally who unknowingly in the name of help try to pull out Guy, should know, Its his Truth and he has the right to take his time, you may help him show light, but do not pull him out.
4. Vlad Karl kiss in Gazebo and Karl reaction upon getting caught was just too hearting. The PANIC in Karl eye was the epitome of how fine an Actor can feel the character, it is just so sad to see the real You in series/movies and you cry along the
5. Ep8, Karl & Vlad discussion on Alternative to their ending was just wholesome, Vlad dialogue "I want to tell people story and i should be controlling how it should end" shows the LGBT struggle to daily life pain and their wish to rewrite their life if given a chance.
6. Anna's Suggestion to Karl on how he should be , its ok to find your confirm zone but "GO OUT There and see the world your own"

I can go on and on and believe me, this series is worth a rewatch N no of times for every dialogue you hear, changes your view. Like someone said well, We should watch our Favorite movies and series, time and again, the Plot and story doesn't change anything, BUT our perception to situation in the plot does.

Recommended 200%., Go for it in a Binge-watch.. Happy PANCAKES!!!
