Dont forget the Reminders special.Yes, this is the longest same-cast Thai BL ever. 48 episodes plus Reminders.…
That's Episode 10's review from my blog. I finally got to 11 and 12. I will be starting season 2 soon.... Just in case you want company while you watch ;)
I am on episode 11 and other than a couple of ForthBeam scenes and one great MingKit scene, I find this underwhelming, full of cliches and totally corny. I haven't watch 2moons but 2moons2 is definitely forgettable.
Agree! However, I thought this was better than dramas such as Itazura that portray smart, handsome boy falls for…
OK. I was more concerned about your description of her, "she is not a genius but a hard worker", "once she stops studying...when he leaves her... her grades automatically fall", and henceforth "this is more towards the normal curve"
I thought you were saying that women, unlike men, have to work hard to be geniuses.
To me that's where the stereotype is in Asian series. The men are shown to be inherently good at things (be it sports or math), while the women are shown as being studious. I for once would like to see the tables turned..... I am sure there are exceptions but it is something I have noticed... (Well, in Accidentally in Love, the boy is kind of dumb and she is a genius so I think that one is sort of reversed in that sense but stereotypes did abound on that one too).
Perhaps this series will show healthy relationships but we already start with strong sexist stereotypes: the guy is a math genius, she is from a well-to-do family. He is athletic and popular, she is the student monitor.
Leave it to C-dramas to always insert some type of heteronormative stereotype, ugh.
I say this but I have watched C-dramas and J-dramas too. One of my favorites is Itazura na Kiss, which is full of this types of cliches (and super unhealthy relationships), so a drama with a healthy relationship is something we welcome.
Have you watched Accidentally in Love? I thought the female lead was not your stereotypical lead. So far, that has been the only C-drama I have been able to finish from first to last episode (it is also short!).
This is the best series of the year for me. I really like Tian's character. In real life this would never happen,…
LOL I had the same flashback to the Shipper.... I fell in love with Fluke's character after not liking him for half of the series only to have him not get the happy ending he deserved.
Yes, this is the longest same-cast Thai BL ever. 48 episodes plus Reminders. About 50 hours. Its a marathon lol
Love sick is beautiful.
You must have also missed what is IMO the most quotable line of any BL EVER:
Jeed: Noh are you gay?
Noh: I call it LOVE
Try to find another BL with that much of a punch in one single line. I dare you.

[Rolls eyes loudly]
OK
I haven't watched this so my opinion is limited to the description above but I guess I read "math genius" and I roll my eyes loudly. Lol.
I watch mostly BLs so I am used to stereotypes but of a different kind.
Watch Accidentally in Love! Fiction is such a cutie in this and the FL and ML have just really good chemistry!!!
