Pun and M only "slept" (sleeping) in the same bed (why, no one knows). But, Pun and Sib actually "slept" together (had sex). Remember, both stated that they first time "they did that" with a man.

Now later in the following episode, where Sib sees M leave Pun's condo getting himself dressed, you really don't know what happened there, unless there are more revelations in the novel (which I haven't read).

I'm sorry. But, the ending sucked! They didn't need 20 episodes of come up with that ending...! Oh well! Maybe the next HIStory 4 will have a better ending.

Good point!

Hmm. Interesting analysis!

I'm unfamiliar with "machanism". Thanks for the info.

Some of my gay friends have told me this as well... hmmm

Lmao!

Oh, I missed that in the novel. Thanks! That would clear up a few things.

Synchronicity, I made similar comments. But, for some reason they do not appear in these threads. But, as usual, I agree with you. I, two like the quality of the performances. I just still have issue with theses "traumatic rape turned to hatred, tuned to sudden desire and love (often with the abuser or person who is the target of the hatred) tropes" used so often in these BL dramas.

A few of my gay friends have told me similar things about the "bottoming" issue. And, somehow I still just don't get it... LOL But, that's ok.

I totally agree!!!

I'm sorry. I just don't get it???? I realize it's in the novel, and I realize the novel is written by women who may or may not know anything about gay relationships. But, really??? Type is raped by someone he knew and trusted, and then supposedly hates all gay people. That, I could see happening. Then he begins rooming with a gay male (who's out and confident about his sexuality). They then begin the love /hate trope, and then finally Type admits he's in love with Tharn. OK I can see the hate - to - love trope in action. BUT, at what point in this tale were we ever given the idea the Type was even gay???? Now, he may have been gay all along -- but, that's never revealed in either the novel or in LBC. And, if that isn't enough of a question, Type now CAN'T sleep with women and is a "bottom" in his relationship with Tharn!!! Now, where did that all come from??? Now, I know for all those fans wishing Type and Tharne a very happy ending, I'm right there with you. I wish for a happy ending too. But, I just wish that the author of the novel, and then the director and writers of TharnType the Series would just at least TRY to add just a little more realistic persona of gay relationships. They can do that and it still be a good drama... Just one person's thoughts.

You're very welcome. And, it's no big deal on the chapter. I probably won't go back and read it. That part was just too disturbing for me. But, always take care of you, and if you ever need an addition to your support system, I'm hear with an ear (always ready to just listen)....

First, Let me say, that i'm truly sorry for what happened to you. I hope you are well and have a good support system.
Now as for the story and novel, I agree with you about the love between two imperfect people in a very imprefect fictional world...that's a pretty good saying. But, in Addicted, I don't recall where BYL rapes GH???? Is that in book 1? I know BYL finally tops GH in Book 2 starting around chapter 26 going into 27. Was that the scene you were referring to??? Do remember approximately where in either Book 1 or 2 that that happened? Because, I totally missed that.

Thanks!

I guess I can hold my opinion until the next episodes arrive. Thanks!

Wow @jpny01! That was quite a statement! I'm still attempting to "put my head around it," which for those of you not from certain parts of the USA means, I'm trying to figure it out. First of all, I do like the point you made regading "Thai BL being BOTH misogynistic AND homophobic." I think that's interesting, considering as many have already stated, much of Thai BL is believed to be written by "straight" women for a "straight" women (or young girls) audience. I also like that as a gay male, you don't seem to have a problem with the word "wifey," I have several gay friends, and I posed the "wifey" question to them and most of them responded as you did, "they didn't seem to have a problem with it. And, maybe that's an area of education for the rest of us, or at least me, because I'm not a gay male, and I do think that it's problematic. Because, it does somewhat culturally compares male/female relationships to male/male relationships, which I think is where much of the problem takes on a life of its own.
Oh, BTW, the biology reference was a real hoot! I loved it!

I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!

I actually did see that series. It's the one with the actor who plays Ming from the first 2Moons chasing after a young boxer. Again, I'm not sure about the reality point of view. But, If you meant that this series didn't highlight all the gay stereotypes, cliches, and tropes, as so often seen in BL dramas, I agree with you.

Thanks!
