I like the meta callouts, like the shipped couple who don't have an actual series, the deliberations on casting gay actors, and calling out sexual harassment disguised as BL tropes, to name a few. I usually don't expect much in the way of "wokeness" from Thai BLs, but I hope they continue to do so.
Needless to say, they're all smoking hot and I want them to smash.
I haven't read the source material for this show, but a lifetime of watching sad gay movies has preconditioned me to think that Tian will probably die at the end of the series. :(
Does anyone know why some of the characters' (the villagers mostly, and Drake's character) dialogue are subtitled in Thai? I'm guessing it's a dialect, but what dialect are they speaking?
This show does send a good message about educating and enlightening viewers on LGBT+ issues, but from a character…
At the risk of sounding like a basic stan, I would follow Karl's eyes. For an introvert who was repressing so many things inside him, his eyes said everything his words couldn't.
haha, can anyone please explain what the "uncanny valley" phenomenon is ? Perhaps I am not of the same generation…
"The concept suggests that humanoid objects which imperfectly resemble actual human beings provoke uncanny or strangely familiar feelings of eeriness and revulsion in observers."
-- This usually applies to robots or animation that is nearly human-like, but not quite there yet. And it freaks people out.
How does watching this as a closeted queer teenager help you? It helps you realize the consequences of NOT being paranoid enough. You're not entitled to your happiness, you're an object lesson to the rest of the world waiting to happen. You'll bury yourself deep in your closet, so deep that you can only escape to Narnia in your dreams. The best thing you can do is die and leave everyone else with survivor's guilt.
We know, okay? WE KNOW it's not safe for us. I didn't need yet another reminder, on national TV no less, that this world is out to get us.

Yes. The plot.
#1. Cheating is not right
#2. People cheat
And I'm okay with both existing at the same time.

If you prefer a realistic ending to the first season of the show, continue until the finale.

What an exhausting show.
