I've only watched the first seven minutes of the first episode, and already it's clear this is the best thing out of Thailand in years. Savvy director wasted no time getting Ohm's shirt off...in under four minutes, I believe. Smart work.
Ohm is aging beautifully, just as I knew he would. It's nice to see him looking more and more facially masculine with maturity. A big plus for this series is that Nanon is nowhere in sight, so he won't be able to drag Ohm down with him.
Holding off to watch the rest of 1 and all of 2 tomorrow. Just wanted to say it's nice to be interested in a Thai show for the first time in almost three years. Maybe it will all go to hell in the first episode's next ten minutes, but for now I'm hopeful.
I'm just curious: Why do you want spoilers for those episodes, especially since you've watched the others already?
Ha! I wouldn't leap to the conclusion that you're "stupid." :)
I'm one of those bitching about the vast crevasse between what this show started out as and what it has ended up being, but even I do not want to know ahead of time what is up for episode 12. But that's me.
Thing is, even if 12 went as I'd like, it would have to be so frenetically rushed that it would still be dissatisfying and off-the-charts implausible. Even so, I never want to know going in what's going to happen in any series or movie, other than in the most general sense. That's why "trigger warnings" and overly-detailed synopses annoy me.
Someone went ahead and edited a video on youtube and proceeded to call Maya a psychopath! The level of hate for…
I found five YT shorts dissing Maya. All were hilarious and spot on, in simply showing her for what she is by replaying scenes in which she is a total beeyatch. However, I never found a video that refers to her as a psychopath. Help? I do agree she's a psychopath though.
It's very acclaimed in Japan, has been ranking high on many polls and even on Twitter majority of international…
Thank you! However, I am computer illiterate. Is there a way to translate X or IG Japanese to English? I can't figure it out.
That said, I do understand why the singer making a hetero-themed MV for his song which originally accompanied a gay-themed show is not a good look. It's as if saying "I let my song be used for the fag show, but here's what I REALLY had in mind, so I wanted you to see this."
I'm sure the raging haters became incoherently hateful and vicious though, out of all proportion to what happened, which is what goes down on social media, right? That's why I stay off X and IG.
And saying "it's the same actor who played Kohei, but it's not really Kohei, it's another, straight character" is pretty lame. You can't establish a character with a specific actor in a show set to your music, then have him play a "different" character in an MV set to the same song and expect people to buy that BS.
I suppose the singer was trying to reach a wider, straight audience, but why then did he not also post a MV featuring Kohei/Taichi at the same time as the hetero one, rather than doing it only after he got slammed? Let's face it, he was distancing himself from the BL.
All of which is why I'd love to read what commenters and the singer had to say about this, so if you can help me out with translation, I'd be grateful.
we don’t know if there will be cheating. Dae Young may be delayed in reacting because of shock or something.…
You are correct, I did say that. Why does that matter? Everyone else in the world does not have to comport themselves the way I do, or make the choices I make, for me to empathize/sympathize with them. I am always interested/curious about why anyone does the things they do, just as I am about why daeyong turned to jelly in the presence of his smarmy ex.
I don't need to slap my moral choices onto anyone else. I do what I do, they do what they do. You might note I did not say that what is happening to daeyong could not possibly happen to me, because I, like him, am a human being with flaws and failings. I can conceive of myself, in a similar situation, giving way to a time-limited compulsion and then coming to regret it. This is called empathy.
I already explained above how labeling someone a "cheater" is an attempt to erase every other aspect of who they are and denounce them as "bad" based on what may be a brief lapse of judgment. Thus, I won't be repeating myself. People who scream "cheater!" at others are more interested in elevating themselves in their own estimation, and pretending they are of such firm moral fortitude that they could never, EVER, do the same thing.
It broke my heart to reminded of that beautiful, intense, emotional, and passionate scene between Kohei and Taichi under the footbridge in a rainstorm early on. I was thrilled by that scene, impressed with the acting and direction, and expecting great things going forward...but then all of that faded away and we were left with a story about a rude, bitter, and nasty deaf girl with a side-story romance-to-bromance between two guys who parted ways, even as friends, for no coherent reason at all.
Had the series maintained the trajectory it was on for a couple episodes after the footbridge scene, I was thinking I'd be rating it a 9.5/10, maybe even a 10/10.
If there's this level of hate. I'd say the writer did a brilliant job in portraying a character. It's the person…
Now I really want to see the video. And I have to disagree about the character. She was made so loathsome, annoying, and stagnant in her bitterness and abuse of others, the only people claiming to sympathize with her are doing so in the throes of what I have diagnosed as the "Bad Buddy Derangement Syndrome." They adore a show for delusional reasons, then their pro-show hysteria grows as a bulwark against the very justified dislike of the show. And that's how a BL that dropped the BL halfway through ends up with an absurd 8.6/10 rating.
You may very well disagree with me but...This series should not have been made .... There I said it . The Manga…
Yeah, I don't get the justification for its existence either. And obviously, the MDL LGs, whose admiration for a BL rises in direct correlation with the degree to which the guy-on-guy relationship stays obscure, are up-rating the shit out of this show. 8.6 my ass.
You're the one spouting "nonsense." The MC romance was developing, then disappeared midway as if their kiss and…
Nah, my money was well-spent, if only to help me understand where arrogant know-nothings such as you are coming from.
There's a possibility Jesus will come before the end of ep 12 too, but I'm not holding my breath. Who gives af about the Manga? This isn't the Manga, did you know that? This is an adaptation, got it? Seriously, "But, but...the Manga!!!" is one of the most common defenses of lame shows on MDL.

This. Is. Awesome.

I'll try the IG/X on my phone.

Which is BS.

Seriously, you need a brain cell.
