One thing many people aren't talking about, especially recently, is how multiple people have normalised hate on BL actors just cause 1) they are men 2) it's BL (and people find it entertaining to shit on the genre as a part time anyways).
Recently one of the leads of "Miracle of Teddy Bear" was on Woody's show and shared how stories about him would circulate in social media of which 90% were made up to cause controversy. He even shared how emotionally draining it was for him and he had cried so much not knowing what to do. Even the Build's situation, so many people cursed him even when he was the victim, recently Ohm's issue blew up of "bullying" which I understand it is wrong but people worse than him are roaming free whereas he who had learnt from that even before the issue blew up, was involved in ngo for autistic kids and had personally contacted the victims (not to mention he was a kid as well, yes he shouldn't have mocked an autistic kid, but tell me how many of y'all were perfect in their childhood) and the so called "homophobic" comment which was cleared as a normal joke by a gay thai man outside the fandom 'cause the fandom was too busy antagonising him, then joong being called a homophobe for a stupid reason that happened years ago ( like saying "i am a man not gay" sounds like a slip of tongue rather than an actual homophobic comment), or krist being labelled as a homophobe even though he is the biggest alley (there is a post talking about it in details, no to mention made by a queer person) and how people disregarded zeenunew even though they said they are a queer couple and there are many such instances. It's funny to me that people target BL actors so much even though many of them are homophobic stalkers and creeps. I agree there are problematic actors too but they are present everywhere I don't see people generalising that. I have seen people shit on geminifourth who are literally teenagers just 'cause they don't want a "bl" couple in gl (imagine if the opposite was said, i understand some people were saying shit about milklove and their fandom reacted but they literally started it and said whatever they want about two fucking teens) and then freenbecky fandom calling zeenunew homophobic names over a misunderstanding. It's exhausting and crazy fans don't seem to stop.

Wednesday Club (2023, THAILAND)
Episode 1 Airing Monday & Tuesday (GMMTV)
Post 2 of 2
Kong (PAWAT CHITTSAWANGDEE aka OHM) arrives at the condo and is joined by Phali (HIRUNKIT CHANGKHAM aka NANI) who is also naked but with a reason.
Apparently he was with a woman with a boyfriend. A boyfriend that caught him with his lady and wants retribution.
Borrowed towels ends this naked run. Well the running continues but at least now they are partially covered.

No for real the Should've Adapted Yakuza 2 take is the only one that doesn't make even a little sense to me. I will say it. I feel like a lot of people still think it's a movie (even though I literally wrote it was a TV series...) and so they're mad they're "redoing the first movie instead of making a sequel" when that's not even what's happening.
Plus the show has no relation to the (at this point almost twenty-year-old) movie; completely different companies, completely different people working on it, completely different approach (RGGS actually having a say vs. Miike and co more or less just doing whatever).
Technically, it's even a different game--like, on top of it being Yakuza Kiwami rather than Yakuza, the series itself has changed drastically from what it was when the movie came out. I think the reason a number of people are disappointed by the movie is exactly that. Like IMO the movie is more or less (at least tonally) representative of what the appeal of the series was at the time, which is all it was trying to do. But most fans today haven't even played PS2 Y1 and Y2, let alone only played PS2 Y1 and Y2, so it can leave something to be desired.
With casting, my dream of a Tomoya Nagase Kiryu 'cause he's partly based on him was shattered so I'm biased lol, but I appreciate that Takeuchi's been bulking up for the role and changing his public image, and I'm excited to check out some of his previous work. I love Kaku already from Super Salaryman and other roles (DW AT ALL BTW GUESS WHO STILL HASN'T WATCHED EP 2 OF FIRST PENGUIN KLJSJKLFG) but I have yet to see him in a serious role so that'll be fun :)
But like. While I tried to pick images that were close to our images of Kiryu and Nishiki, these are promotional shots, not styled and costumed in-character. I think people are also kind of glossing over the timeskip. Like yeah, Takeuchi's only 30, but pre-timeskip Kiryu is 27 and he has to believably play him too. That's especially notable when the story of Y1 could easily be told in like 5 or 6 hours, so perhaps what we're doing for the other 2-3 hours is spending more time pre-timeskip. I'm kind of speculating even some 0 scenes may make it in, because they were described as being dressed in "flashy suits and patterned shirts" at the shoot.
Overall, I do personally regret starting the series with K1 and it's my least favorite starting point (out of 0, Y1/K1, 7, and Judgment), but at the same time it's the only story that can be properly told within one eight-hour season. So. Y'know. It makes the most sense. I'm of course hoping it turns out enjoyable regardless because I'm obligated to watch it either way for the wiki lmao (and hey, maybe if it does well enough to get renewed, my faves will get a turn). I do think it's got the most potential of any of the adaptations so far, at least, aside from the other upcoming Judgment one.
Anyways uhhhhhh I hope we see Kiwamine in the background of a shot just vibing
no like thats what i mean: it makes total sense as to why they'd start from Y1 it just makes the most sense for a brand new adaption independent of the past iterations 😩 in any case im interested to see what everyone brings to the table and how they handle adapting Y1 now with all of the games and content that have come out since the initial movie/stageplay releases ♪(´▽`)

Beyond Boys' Love
Series: MY DEAR DONOVAN (2022, THAILAND)
GMMTV's heterosexual drama comes to an end. Naturally I love my BL & Gay Content. But straight people need love too.
Anyway Donovan (LUKE ISHIKAWA PLOWDEN) has been through it. This series turned him into a sex object wanted by his female co-worker and female client. And all he wants is Pam (TIPNAREE WEERAWATNODOM aka NAMTAN) his manager.
He found out the sister he was searching for was dead. And he had to come to terms with that.
But in the end, Donovan and Pam got their happy ending complete with a proposal and acceptance and even a sea frolic.
