Yep, the first two couples were unbearable, like cartoons. I think it’s also due to the writer, her characters are mostly caricatures.

I have hopes for Wine though, I don’t think Mark is playing it so childishly, so we will see.

And yet fans act so entitled over boc actors too. I read how Mile was actually communicating with big fan accounts and downplaying his relationship. That’s crazy to me

The idol culture is crazy to us, but the fact is it is perpetrated by the companies. They encourage that kind of parasocial relationship because it gives them that kind of fanatical engagement, and ultimately money. That’s all it boils down to. It’s unhealthy and toxic, the behavior of fans (like Baifern in this episode) is incomprehensible.

Same goes for bl couples, fans act so crazy and entitled over them. Like, there are so many Valentine’s Day posts/videos/pictures from bl couples, fans went nuts over those. Now if it comes out these guys are not dating each other but someone else? These fans will go equally crazy. This kind of fanservice is just weird and unhealthy imo, but money rules over everything I guess.

Because he is in the 99th percentile in terms of BL actor looks and he does a lot of fanservice. That goes a long way.

However, I do think he has hit the ceiling in terms of popularity, B+ list is how far he can go. You can’t be A list without acting skills and an actually good series.

🤣🤣 literally what? Calm down.

Also, just checked my comment history and just an hour ago I responded about an incomplete list of bl shows I liked, and that comment was in response to you! Are you having a schizophrenic episode?

Uhmm, not really 😂

KP was bad too 😂

Literally lol

Also, both J&J and THK have bad scripts. Just because fans rated that one higher means nothing, it just exemplifies the shitty fandom culture where fans will support whatever bad quality output their ship puts out. That means the viewers who actually want more have to roll over and take it? Companies will treat art as a profit making venture, but to say that we should just accept that is such a sad way of looking at things.

lol, right? they are not even in the same league.

That kissing in the car scene from one of their earlier shows, that’s so bad and awkward looking.

I would argue all of TayNew’s shows have been genuinely good actually. DBK was a bit telenovela, but well directed and acted, CM was a great romcom, Peaceful Property was one of the best Thai shows last year.

GemFourth had two bangers with MSP and MC, but let down by MLMU. I personally think We Are was a great showcase for PondPhuwin and their NLMG wasn’t bad either.

I actually don’t think Aof is the best all the time. Like the ending of Last twilight was so disappointing, I didn’t even finish it. I think he struggles with endings, I remember I got bored with thousand stars and BBS also.

No.

The characters are supposed to be messy and the situations they get in are supposed to be messy and dramatic, not the plotline and not the character journey. A messy script does not equal a script which portrays entertaining messiness., the former is bad writing.

The worst part of it was that the series didn’t even live up to the shocking, messy drama. The fixed couples ended up together just to secure their branding, side characters were superfluous and didn’t bring enough drama, and some of the acting was very mid.

Oh ya, both WS and the Girl Rules will happen before the TayNew show I think, but those are not comedies.

The worst crime of this series is not that it’s nonsensical, but that it’s boring. Campiness, if well done, can be so much fun like the recent See Your Love show for example. But here? It was just dragged out and boring.

I’m starting to think neither FirstKhao nor JoongDunk will ever have a truly good bl series. Eclipse script was a mess, SIMM was cute but juvenile and flimsy, OF was an even bigger mess, HA was too boring to even get through, and now this show …

I’m starting to really worry about the next comedy Jojo has coming up, which is the TayNew bl. Please please please let him really work on and improve the script so it’s not boring and nonsensical as this one. TayNew shows have all been genuinely good, they deserve to follow up with another good series.

Offgun? 😂😂

Just so so messy…. I don’t even mind slice of life, university/school bls like many fans do. I think if they are well done, these types of bls can be enjoyable. We are from the same director was far better, because the friend group interactions were great and the chemistry between the actors was mostly superb.

But this show has such a weird script and incomprehensible characters! Casting popular actors whose fanbase will hype them up regardless of the quality seems to be the go to strategy here. The characters are insufferable otherwise.

Oh well, at least Tay was super hot as P’Tawan

I get what you mean, bl series like Kidnap, TT, MLMU, THK, Perfect 10, etc all have such weak, silly scripts and messy execution. But then, the script of this series is also very messy and full of plotholes, the rating is high because of the serious subject matter.

Also, both Peaceful Property and High School Frenemy from gmmtv last year are far far better than Not Me.

Yep, when this show was airing, Dan and Yok had more hype than the main couple anyway.

And even this one isn’t great, fans rate it highly because of the darker and more serious subject matter, but the plot is full of holes and the pacing is messy.

Fact is, some of these older couples are popular simply because they came at a time when there weren’t that many BL couples. If some of these couples debuted nowadays, they wouldn’t be half as popular.

The Danyok storyline in this series is better than Seanwhite one for sure.
