Doctors Mine, Ep 1 [3/4], 3:00-3:24

A 24-second kiss. A new contest: longest kiss in a BL ? Long gone the days when the Hays Code in Hollywood limited kissing to three seconds !

[doorajar]

Well, no one is talking about a Pinoy quasi-BL, Hermoso

As of Episode 4, I haven't seen this much brazen heat---suggestive dialog, basket-groping, self-pleasuring---in a SE Asian drama. God knows what's ahead. The acting of these young shirtless lookers is not up to par; is it inadequate coaching, or incompetent direction ? But the gist is clear and compelling, so all bets are off.

Stay tuned ...

Bawdy, is what it is. Will wonders never cease ...?

It has to be said, this one crosses the line, over and over. Yes the genre is stretching in the inevitable direction, reaching toward soft porn and maybe beyond ... but it still surprises when the next level is reached.

Hope you're having a great weekend !

Heesu, or HeeSu, Episode 9

...

...

...

[doorajar]

OMFG.

Heesu, Episode 8

I can't ... I just ... cannot. Take much more of this.

@absolutebl , hep me ! Oh, my poor head

[doorajar]

Heh heh:

Hee Su in Class 2 Episode 5

The sub translators call themselves the

Unrequited and Undecided Team

Could that have been the working title if the show

at one time ?

It certainly fits !

[doorajar]

Secret Relationships, Ep 6

I like red/blue/green color pops ...

[doorajar]

Flirt Milk The Series (sorry, just quoting YouTube)

I'll be sorry when Aek shaves;

facial hair is virtually unheard of in BL--and

I think it looks good ...

on him !

[doorajar]

Oh, I needed some glee after a grueling week

and here it comes:

Eternal Butler, FC Soldout, ThamePo

I just picked up on FC Soldout this week and was watching it last night.

Now I get to keep that ball rolling

while enjoying two other current faves, especially ThamePo !

[doorajar]

FC Soldout, Episode 6

Well, duh ! Yes, why don't you ?

Heh-heh. I'm lovin' this, regardless ...

[doorajar]

Oh, Po.

!!!

You don't have to move a muscle

or say a word:

Just that face, those eyes

and just a twitch, a little tiny change of

expression ...

says it all.

What an angel .

[doorajar]

Your Sky, Episode 12

...

...

Why do I think that just might be a mistranslation ?

Oh, and this made me laugh (sound on):

[doorajar]

The Boy Next World, Episode 5

Well !

Things finally got moving, here. What a great episode ! Hot tamales, confession, alternate lifetimes, prequel sequence ...

YAY !

[doorajar]

O M G.

So, Jun(n) isn't the villain in this piece

after all ...

ThamePo, Episode 8

That is so sweet ... to see the good side of a character

emerge like a butterfly from the worm ?

Heh. Really nice episode.

[doorajar]

How is it

possible

that Earth Pirapat looks younger

in 2025

than he did four years ago

in A Tale of a Thousand Stars ?

I mean, much younger !!

What, did they AGE him for that ?

Maybe they did--the character was certainly older than Heng ...

Huh. Guess I'm still naive about love on film.

[doorajar]

Phu is cute--okay.

I get it.

But stupidity--or is that cupidity--is not attractive.

To me. Sorry.

Is there any hope for improvement ?

I am not hopeful.

Stupid and stubborn is not a winning formula.

Even in BL.

Not for me, anyway.

[doorajar]

Here's something:

When EngSubs are fine, we ignore them. The subs in Your Sky, for instance. Great translations (well, I suppose they are--l don't speak Thai, but they make sense, are grammatical, and they stay on screen long enough to be read) ! What's not to like ?

That's the problem with perfection: it isn't noticeable--it doesn't call attention to itself.

By definition.
