Found a takeaway about gay male films that my be of interest. Nadao Bangkok's I Told Sunset About You, a romantic drama series that centers on the relationship between two high school boys. The five-episode series has completed its run and can now be binge-watched in one go on Line TV. What was initially perceived as the studio's attempt to hop on the popular Boys' Love bandwagon impressively turned out to be much more. At times sensual, at times heartbreaking, Sunset was a well-rounded, coming-of-age drama with good writing, and beautiful cinematography to match. The story dives into the struggle of defining and exploring one's identity and sexual orientation. The performance of two lead actors, Putthipong Assaratanakul and Krit Amnuaydechkorn, were also praised. Following a successful run, it was announced that a sequel is in the making and will follow the two protagonists as they go on to study at universities. This is set to be released in March 2021. https://www.bangkokpost.com/life/social-and-lifestyle/2027507/light-flickers-in-us-fades-in-thailand The last episode almost saved the series for me, but I wasn't a fan of the ending. I get that a lot of the praise was pinned on how "realistic" it is as a coming of age story. I didn't quite buy that, but there's plenty of melodrama. But for sure the cinematography is excellent. I wasn't quite as sold on the leads' acting, but the little mini-documentaries attached to each episode made them more likable. 10tazione and vinapu 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinapu Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I finished "My Gear and Your Gown ", quite light series but with usual eye-candy abound, I liked the most side character Pure played by Fiat. Crying scenes in the last 12th episode very convincing 10tazione 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinapu Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 After first episode of "Manner of Death " I must say it's different by long mile from all BL shows I watched so far. Very intense murder story so have your blood pressure pills handy but in the first episode we already have a peek at Tul's naked torso and MaxTul kissing scene so if one doesn't use that pill on digesting murder still needs it to get over gay love story it seems. I found that description on internet very fitting " This is a suspenseful crime series that tells a bond between two men through the gripping story of a murder case. " It looks next 14 weeks waiting for the vaccine will be shorter because of that very unusual BL story, 13 episodes to go.

Yes I agree this series is different than the typical BL series the main plot is a the suicide/murder (?) mystery and the development of the relationship between the two main characters are in the bakround . The first episode is great and it seems very promising series. 10tazione, fedssocr and vinapu 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedssocr Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I don't know how anyone can keep up with all of this. Apparently Ohm and Fluke are from some previous series? The comments on this video are asking if they have a new series coming which seems likely. I have to say the actors are adorable 10tazione, Boy69 and vinapu 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10tazione Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 "Which BL series are you most exited for?" It's obvious, "Bad Boys" because of Ohm, and "A tale of 1000 stars", because of Earth! But ... that "Umaasa" trailer looks promising too, and I am sure there will be many other interesting series too! Boy69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoon Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Tul just updated on his social media that he is suffering from bell palsy and in need of rest. Wish him speedy recovery. He posted his pic trying to smile but half of his face is paralyzed with a caption "I'm seriously rocking it. Smile for a better day." Had a friend before that got this before and it is curable. Main suspect is stress. vinapu and 10tazione 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I had downloaded the first two episodes from jiminskook's post on dailymotion. I have now found a friend online who is downloading each episode from the We TV Site. But, as said here, he must wait 1 week because he does not have a VIP Subscription. So far very interesting series.

GWMinUS Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 You guys might want to watch "Kalel, 15", the movie from the Philippines starring Elijah Canlas. It is just now available on Netflix. I watched it and have to say it is very depressing. Shows how difficult things can be living in Manila. Unless of course your family is Hi-So. I am glad my Guys live down on Cebu. It is still not easy but not like in this movie!! Cheers!! 10tazione and vinapu 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to see how their relationship will develop in the series as now they seem to be only so-so toward each other.

10tazione Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 Oxygen (2020) I liked it more then "Still Together the Series" and "Love by Chance 2". Although I found the final story between Solo and his father rather weird. Father locks son up in his flat to convince him to work in fathers company (altough he prefers to be a musician) and to dump his boyfriend. Without phone and without food. Not for an hour, but for days. A simple educational means ... Am I the only one who thinks that's a crime? Maybe this is where asian and western culture differ ... Oh, and in every series there is that mandatory attempt to drug someone and exploit his body ... Other than that, I like the series. My favorite although is neither Solo nor Gui, it's Kao the bunny. vinapu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
