fedssocr Posted April 8, 2022 Posted April 8, 2022 I am starting Star In My Mind. They really went overboard with the skin filter on this one so everyone's face looks green. It's very light though. And the boys are very cute despite the green skin. I'm planning to watch Country Boy 2 soon. Boy69, 10tazione and vinapu 3 Quote

fedssocr Posted April 12, 2022 Posted April 12, 2022 I thought Country Boy 2 was OK. The story is very slight. Oak's over the top character might have been a little better if he was toned down a bit, but I presume that was what the director wanted. I think I enjoyed CB1 a bit more. 10tazione and vinapu 2 Quote

reader Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 From Bangkok Post Asia falls in love with Thai Boys Love Buoyed by the openness of the LGBT community, Thailand's "Boys Love" (BL) movies and series have been well received in the local market and are considered promising export products that can draw lucrative revenue streams and foster business opportunities in other areas, including tourism. BL dramas are known in Thailand as Y Series, derived from the Japanese term "yaoi", which refers to a genre of fictional media that features homoerotic relationships between male characters. The government last year said that Thailand's Y content market was worth more than 1 billion baht, with the key export markets including China, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia and Latin America. One of the most popular Thai Y Series in overseas markets is "2gether", which was produced by Thai television production studio GMMTV and launched in 2020. According to Japanese publication Nikkei, the "2gether" show began on Japan's Rakuten TV streaming platform in July 2020, and eventually became No.1 on the platform's annual movie and drama rankings. A Japanese tour operator, H.I.S. Tours, has organised a virtual tour to locations where some scenes in 2gether were shot, according to the Japanese news agency Kyodo News. The Feb 11 online tour drew more than 250 people, with nearly 99% of them women. The TAT continues to spur the popularity of Thai BL in Japan by partnering with local TV channels to introduce new tourism sites, and creating joint promotions with tour operators for virtual tours to film locations. The agency has promoted tourism directly through the Aloha application, China's social networking app for the gay community, by inviting Chinese gay couples and key opinion formers to test luxury tourism products in Thailand, such as yachting. Mrs Kanokkittika said the LGBT segment could be categorised as luxury travellers as they are high-income earners, live in key cities, and want to spend more for travel experiences. 10tazione and vinapu 1 1 Quote
vinapu Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 after quite a long break I finished watching "Enchante ", while actors are cute I found plot so so . After slow developing action through first 8 episodes it considerably seed up in the last 2. "Dark Blue Kiss" or "Together With Me " it was not but girls may like it 10tazione 1 Quote

It seems to be the golden rule that the big drama always happens in the penultimate episode! After long interruption (too many Thailand holidays) I finally finished "I promised you the moon". Like the first part I found it was well made and well played. But also a very said story which made it a bit hard to watch. Currently watching: "Dear Doctor I am coming for soul": Other than that it is pretty weird I don't have an opinion yet. "Kinn Porsche": Another mafia story. Mafia son + bodyguard theme. I saw the first 3 episodes, it has a lot of action, it's funny and Porsche is pretty hot! And since it is 18+ there is some hope we will see a kiss between the main actors (actually it already happened in E3). "Cupids last wish": With Earth + Mix, so hopes are pretty high. Only saw the first to episodes and so far is is just soso. fedssocr and vinapu 2 Quote
fedssocr Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 I never got around to the last episode of Enchante. Once the secret was revealed it seemed a bit pointless. I am more or less enjoying Star In My Mind. It is quite lightweight. I think the lead is really adorable though. The story is a little bit confusing with the whole "will they or won't they" and about 10 ancillary characters who are trying to land the protagonist as their BF. But I guess they need some conflict to keep the story moving forward. vinapu and 10tazione 2 Quote

Episode 5 of 13 airing today. Everything points to the main couple to be Tae (2 Moons, Hotel Stars, Paint with Love) and Tee (2 Moons, Hotel Stars, Miracle of Teddy Bear) with at least one other secondary couple. Another familiar face is Mild from What the Duck and TharnType series (Techno). GWMinUS, 10tazione and vinapu 3 Quote
