Precisely! But my question was rhetorical. I was hoping to get some of these emotionally fraught posters to reconsider what they saw, as in what was shown on the screen vs. what goes on in their imagination.

Haha. The actors playing the boys in the CIWYW series did not have their phones taken away. In the series itself, the actors Bas and Ait had their phones taken by Tee because it was in their contract and James was appalled, having never been involved in a BL series before. This reflects Aam's reaction to what happened during the making of 2M2, where it was his first directing experience with a BL, having already made some award winning films.

Your assumptions are emotional and have nothing to do with the facts as presented in the series. You might want to watch the episode again with a more critical eye.

I just went back through Nine's IG. I've been following him since 2M2. It looks like quite a few of the shots he had with Joong are gone. I'm pretty sure being asked to clean up your IG is a solid thing. Look at what happened in CIWYW where the boys phones were taken away.
I'm pretty sure he deleted at this the image we were looking at. More to come...

You might want to look at what I said in the Discussion.

Yes. I don't want to call it a placeholder, but it was clearly the middle of the story. So far this feels more like the middle of a story, regardless of what happens in EP 5.

I've seen the Fantopia singing from various angles, and we all saw PP lose it at the end. I thought that, for a first timer, he did amazingly well. You can also see that he's very emotional in real life.

is this, like LOTR Part 2, just a setup for the final season?

Don't worry. You haven't. Not to say that's it's not a bit rough. And it's a series. So there's a cliff hanger.

Reality is a pretty good reference here. Look at the various stories of Hollywood couples, or even stage couples, where both partners are in the business, or only one is.
Do they go to movies where their partner has a wild sex scene with another actor? What happens in real life?

I'm probably the only one not calling Teh a dick. While he appeared to submit, he didn't initiate what happened. Did his hormones take over? Yes? He's young. He has hormones. And he's Teh, not a marble statue.
People don't seem to want to see this in the context in which it happened. An acting workshop. You really can't ignore that and have any real understanding of what happened.

You should probably avoid watching anything by Eugene O'Neil. Very wrenching.

Did Teh kiss Jai or did Jai kiss Teh. Also, has anyone watched any of the workshop videos from S1 or S2? Directors can be very manipulative and, as Jai says, more concerned about the production than about anything having to do with the actor.
Jai was looking for a specific result on stage. He did to Teh what he expected would invoke a change to his behavior on stage. It did. The consequences to Teh and Oh were not something that concerned him at the time he was working on the play. It happens in real life, so the series isn't pulling any punches.
Any actor in a relationship needs to manage themselves when presented with this kind of situation. And a director wants real feelings on stage. Fake feelings tend to be evident.
Guys the age of Teh and Oh are quite hormonal and can easily let their emotions get the best of them. This happens to both Teh and Oh, in different contexts and for different reasons.

PS: Anyone who thought this would be fluffy wasn't paying attention to S1. Maybe you shouldn't watch something so dramatically real.

Read to fast. Probably Monday or Tuesday.

Thailand isn't really a developing country. And the western price might be close to double that. I don't really have a problem with the price.

Ep 2 is next week.

I've been watching other series while waiting, like Fish In The Sky. I find it interesting that this is, hands down, so much better than anything I've seen in the last three months. While CIWYW is actually quite good and Lovely Writer as well, this is still head and shoulders above those. I wish I had words to explain why that is so.

Apparently the script writer wasn't aware that the online novel was a fan-fic and was written about Krist and Singto. I don't have any of the details, but Commetive essentially apologized and had to make changes to compensate.

COMMETIVE put up a Tweet 2 days ago with a picture of a document in Thai that's quite long but basically says what I said above. Someone named Topher replied with the translation.

Big blow up on Twitter today. Many scenes being reshot. Story being divorced from the novel.
