Bitter taste

bittersweet feeling I write this review having seen the two seasons, which I think serves to improve what the first one had left me with a bitter aftertaste. You should definitely watch both seasons in a row if possible. Regarding the series, because on the one hand it is true that it is good to bring to light the manipulation behind the entertainment industry, it is being seen so recently exposed, and to do it with respect to actors who play roles of gay characters in series boys love . because they could also suffer harassment for what they tell (story based on real events) and because they are men it is more hidden. However, I think that it is not the right approach to do it within the framework of a BL series for the public that me, consume BL, since in some way it makes us feel guilty of that treatment as products to the actors to which they are subjected with false couples surgery diets and no longer Let's talk about sxxx abuse. (I can’t believe!) The series is not enjoyed and if it is not for the second season of hope and strength of main actors, it leaves me with the feeling that with my consumption of these series I am supporting exploitation and this is a big mistake by the producer. Lovely Writer laid it out in a real but nice way, this here is too much. It seems that we are supporting a dark industry of exploitation… please come on ! … and the theme of the ship… that we fans are not stupid and we know that it is forced but they deluded you to project the beautiful sensation of a series outside in fan meetings and other events to enjoy the lovely characters. As example: we usually talked about them with the name of their acting role that says it all, in the shippers. As for the series in its… decently shot and decently acted and who better the hated role of Tee as much as we don't like it. in the cast of couples … that of director James and his main actor gave me a little chill but unpleasant. there is no chemistry and everything is forced. I was disgusted even seeing them together. I don't know if because of the role of one being young and the other the director or because of the actor himself who makes James have very little chemistry with Ait. the secondary couple wins chapter after chapter and there, if there is chemistry, it is obvious in some scene and shot that makes it explicit... with Bas... I say no more…. but what a great actor he is
Daniel Chang as Marco! and very well Michael Kiettisak (Michael) as Bas. As for Panupun Vongjorn (Benz) as Ait, he is as sweet as ever, it is enough to see him now in Coffee Melody, but he does not match anything with James. what a bad casting!! In short, it's with a Notting Hill type ending but with that rather bitter taste of being someone who, like me, writes and supports the BL community. pity leaves
