3 Love Classes: Friends to Lovers, frustrating as lack of communication, a darker one

Finally a show where gay dates really, mostly end ... in ded. Especially for Sung Min and Joo Hyuk . For long firend to lovers Ma Roo and Min Woo not so clearly, as they allready share a bed in their home ... The sinister touched love affair of
Lee Hyun and Kim An ended equally in bed together ... Episode 9 finally showed us a glimpse in true Boylove realities. Shocking? NO! MISSING!

Most BL, written and staged are not really targetting the LGBTAIQA+ members, but heterosexual women as another substitute for wishes and dreams. and its staged anoyingly often and painting a unrealistic view. But even within the non gay target audiences there some more realistic views ... or let´s say views behind the curtain.

Tinted with Love was one of as 180 Degree Longitude Passes Through Us, even if I dropped that show (not for disliking, or the hefty critcised age gap, but other reasons).

Contrary to the Thai BL industry the Korean BL shows and films have a special sincerety and professionality and don´t get anoying even when its a BL comedy. Japanese BL comedies can get anoying too. The crown of anoying comedy is actually the THAI BL show Crazy Handsome Rich with double squeeking sounds and a terrible voice over and irrelevant storyline.

Season 2 of Love Class is a refreshing show with realistic problems, misunderstandings/-interpretations, egos and awkward acting ... while courting the guy of love. Even if the 6 guys are ment to end up in 3 couples. The end in the 10th episode was nice gloss over of the results of union in episode 9 and not too much but touching and warming. Even being wvtl. a cliff hanger for a series of new BL shows theming their time after.

For Lee Hyun and Kim An the coupling wasn´t that clear to end end happy as for the rumours around Kim An and his living with an obvious con man, if not criminal call boy. Being steadfastr up to near stalking is by Lee Hyun is sometimes giving me frowns and shaking my head in disbelieve ... but that may be my Gemini personality, not that I am a bee going from one flower to the next, to the contrary. Lee Hyun had his old crush on Kim An, thankfully not since early childhood. Which is totally unrealistic to me, not only from own experience but watching/knowing other relationships. It was nice to see Kim An opening up to the sincerity of Lee Hyun and finally seeking refugee in his house ... erm ... arms. And the nude back of Kim An suggested his union with Lee Hyun in the night before (Ep.9 Lee Hyun preparing breakfast). It was too supported by the bicking of the 2.

Ma Roo and Min Woo may have their physical union had befor so the acting and storyline suggested in my view. Despite them being fully dressed in bed ... Something I can´t see in real life btw. Especially not after being together.

When they are glamping they reveal they couple situationg, their dating ... erm in real life it would be A obvious B they would have talked or bragged about as Lee Hyun did when Kim An picked up the drunken Lee Hyun.

Anyway this drinking in Korean shows, weather BL or hetero is to me disturbing and kind of gives a bad sample or is it that "normal" to be spacing out ... ? ...

Sara finally got her boyfriend too who will be the coffeeshop owner, who to me long looked like a frustrated "hag" till Ep.9 meeting Sara.
The dating class Teacher was somehow acting as foretelling what would happen or expecting what became in Ep.10 the Kissing Picture of Kim An and Lee Hyun ... and the reaction of the class was ... okay it had to be ... but was great. It was reminding me immediately of my friends group when Io outed myself in front of them during a holiday we had on Ameland. For years we travelled together from Xmas 2nd day till January 2nd or 3rd till we lost track due to jobs, new families and such. My friends back then did not applaude, but okay that´s your lovelife and what do we cook this night?

The show is worth to watch and rewatch. The characters develop within the 10 espisodes logical and so did the kisses till getting steamy ... No akward or anoying forced "comedy sounds" from the off or eye lashes batting to express whatever. A Season 3 in that quality? YES!

A nice story and for me the 1st Oxin show without overexalted and permaent powdering trans actors

Both leads gave a good and blievable acting, portraying their characters good. The mother in law was for the arranged marriage a bit over the top and out of charakter when slapping ... but for the drama ...
The halt before the "climax" was not really unstandable ... but drama ...
The bed scenes had been good, believable and raunchy enough. And pulling the hairt ... I did not expect that! BL films need it! As some more reality in the stories and evtl. some more action movie like touch, not an overly constructed action, which is seen on 1st sight as being fake. We are more than love and boy finds boy.
The most positive for me was the portrayal of a transperson, not oversissied/tootsied and permanently powdering and being the overly dramaqueen. I am not trans but support, especially as AltRight (fascists/NAZIs) target trans and drag with anti Human Rights Terrorism, as the 1st and smallest group among the LGBTQIA+ family, and you may not believe, but the rest of us is on their terrorist "shopping list"! And astonishingly (positive!) she had her thirst too ... And more she got herself a candyboy too. Alone for this positive portrayal of the charakter this OXIN produvtion rewatchable!

Food as sex substitute?

The show production is professional, as the acting of the cast. And the people know what they do. It is not like being made in an assembly line without any heart in.
A BL show deeply steeped in the arty stereotypes of the target audience, with 1 kinky element of eating without clothes, Naked, probably for effect. Waving the sex flag?
Misunderstandings and exaggerated Japanese codes of conduct then provide twists in the plot ... Only in the last episodes, starting with No 8, the story got more and twists. Especially when 1 one of the leads is following the hetero normatives and start dating his co-worker. 'The flashbaks try to expalain actual reactions, but can´t really except for the yearning of the 2nd lead for his beloved.
I personally have not experienced, not even in my environment, that I would have been so in love with my childhood sweetheart that would let me, or others, live celibate lives until I finally found my love again .... Unreal and really, sorry, a sign that I personally cannot develop. Even if this love would have been as here been requitted (most unlikely!) or if they/we had been in a relation. Thinking of this 1st love stays, but never in such a way. Forgott he had 1 love affair ...
And 1 lead is again imaged as hetero in the beginning and does become gay ... You are gay or bi, You don´t become (touched by the fairy) all of a sudden LGBTQIA+ ... This ultra conservative (AlrTight) hetero pseudo narrative is reproduced in the show again ,,, as in so many other BLs. it's so yawn-inducing! Again you LGBTQIA+ or not. You don´t get "poke, fertilized" all of a sudden (BL) gay.
The ending profane and technical, as in an arranged marriage, even if both remove their clothes to eat ... or even food as a sex substitute? Not even an embrace, after a chaste kissing while sleeping ... Where live these writers? Or what picture do they want to promote?

Acting without a real Storyline

The two lead charakters acted professional in a technically professional made film ... only if there would have been a storyline 20 and less than minutes hadn´t been enough for a good development. The story line got me a feeling of choped off andf frangmented. Too many wholes and out of no where actions and feelings or traumas. Incl. the guy originally causing the trauma. He vanished, came back with agression and vanished into newhere again. Portraied as well as the villain too flat. A bit crude.
The best friend came too short as the support he´d been ... lack of time.
I don´t have any problems with the pace of a daily soap, but then there should be a storyline without too many guessing and putting a puzzle together.
The one years separation ... The sudden outburst causing it ... sigh ... Came for me out of nowhere. And for real ... who would long for a year? A bit unrealistic. Anyhow they found themselves and ... Happy Merry Ending.

When will reflect BL shows realities???

The "delusional" shy `fake female acting´ reflecting 19th century is so depressing ... It was in the 1st show and repeats, out of what?, tradition?, here again! Beginning of EP11: waking up and crying, because your lover lies next to you and you nozzle him, or the "Let´s shower" avoiding shy-prudery-dance ... so anoying and so not real. Especially for gays and even lesbian!
I know these "stories" are written by hetero women for hetero women in mind and as merket.
But when do the writers finally reach realities? Realities of LGBTQIA+ lives and life?
Being shy in the public I can understand ... but in private in this "clean woman" behavior, again and again???
I am short to drop the show!
BTW: the Phun actor of the 1st show, being asked if he is gay ... HELL NO!!! Okay he never got any lead, only minoe supporting roles after ... the Noh actor made a similar sniding answer ...

Never Let Me Go - who whom?

5 episodes so far. Thai BLs go into a more serious or adult storyline. Where Kinn Porsche had been a led to. Never Let Me Go is following that dark criminal path in the plot by a murderous threat from the outside.
Why and who is trying to kill the family members is not that clear, you can guess only. But that is okay and is rising the tension and let you think. The main leads acting is good. And the most there are no major flaws in the outfitting of the scenes ... like shirt scratching micros, or different dresses for one scene ... completed after some days, you may forget ... but when there are tears needed they miss. When they should embrace the hands still look like there is no feeling and an anxienty to touch each other ... despite the actors know each other from a previous show : Fish Upon the Sky (2021) which was partly anoying. And for Thai BLs "typical" we have a girl meddling as well. Still not too much, but let´s see what she "is up to".
What the leads get right is the difficulty for feelings between employer and employee incl. the social class differences and hesitance it is causing both.

What you unfortunately still see in the show is the lack of time for pre-, post- and production. As if they make fast food BLs ... Like in Hollywood´s "busiest times" to entertain the masses making them forget the miseries of the depression.

OXIN and impersonating clichés

Why does OXIN always manage to stage over-exaggerated, cliché faggots over and over again with several actors? It is degrading. It is NOT funny. It serves a silly, heterosexual stereotype. Especially at a time when arch-conservatives (fascists/NAZIs) are waging a kuturkampf against the entire LGBTQIAplus community, massively attacking just the two smallest groups, trans women/men and children, and drag queens.
Yes there are the over-exualised queers, so what? but why over and over again and in heaped form? Why in a way that degrades this group of people? In order to advance a plot, the corresponding characters can also be portrayed differently ...
These cliché faggots drag down the whole film.

I will knock you ... its knocking itself out

The series is, to put it kindly, boring and predictable ... the story is childish, childishly constructed, as if someone desperately needed to fill a broadcast slot with nonsense, the acting is not even at amateur level ... mostly the acting of the actors is childish and stupid ... okay, maybe the actors are not to blame in the first place, but the story and the direction certainly are. This could have been done much better ... Watching the first 10 min of the 2nd episode finally gave me the rest ... I abandoned the time-wasting ridiculous amateurish series. Watching the show is time theft.
I gave a 1 as rewatch value as there had to something in ... its really not worth watching a 2nd time

2 Moons: The Ambassador, Ambassador of/for what

First its disturbing that the previous actors don´t participate any longer ... was the story too ... boring or unimportant to be even told / written?
And the previous cast did good not to join in this production, as the story seems silly and for what reason, not only in this show, is there this overboarding super dooper gay clichee, of wet heteros, acting actor? That character is a slap in the face of any LGBTQIAplus ... sorry ... sometime gay should only write gay stories. I know these shows aim in first place at a female audience, but this is under the gurdel and deeper.
The show is produced to cash on the previous one and failed grand ... The show is time theaft.

XYZ Class movie

The Thai BL industry has reached a new low while spitting out each year new cash out click bait shows.

Many shows have/had good or nice actors, some don´t have, but awful directors and horrible storylines. Some are displaying stereotypes which are even going against humanrights.

This show has a storyline? Inexisting!
This show has good acting? Where please!
Has this show a director? There is a naming ... but ...

The most awful and anoying in this time stealing show is the voice over which is not even simultanous to the lips moving, not that I talk Thai, but when the taliking sound starts and the lips are closed or are long closed and the talking sound is still tunning.

The butler´s workplace is in a super rich household? Where is that? That´s evtl. in a lower class dream which doesn´t know about wealth and those households ... nor any etiquette at tables how to dress etc. etc. etc. And not to forget that butler´s uniforms ... Or how a hire process in such households is ... And the nonsense of undressing to show he´s a man ... ???

Rich and lending a mobile to do some experiments? Guys really?

... and then we have these wiggs named hairdo ...

Not worth a second to watch!
The worth of the worth Thai BL industry samplers!
