@kbogesz I just saw your comment, the whole situation with Kaownah and Turbo came because a few years ago there was a rumour that both were dating so every BL fan gets excited by the fact that two actors were in an actual relationship, then Kaownah starred in TharnType and he became even more famous and more people started following that ship, both of them were going to starred on a BL serie but due to pandemic it was cancelled before the filming starts so I guess their companies are putting them in every show they can
@just-david Ah, I see, thanks! I still have no idea which drama could've started that rumour though because I couldn't find anything on MyDramaList where they acted together before their guest roles in Oxygen and TharnType (where they were already famous, I suppose). :sweat_smile:

OMG, I'm back in the game after a month, and a Thai BL series' first episode's first minute just threw shade at the BL scripts that contain sexual harassment and pass it on as romantic gestures??? HELL YES!! :muscle::heart_eyes:
Damn, I want to learn how to fiddle with a pen like that :joy:
I really hope that 'Bad Engineer' (the title of Gene's first BL) is also a shade thrown at all the cliché Thai BLs where the protagonists are studying as engineers :joy:
So I have a question for my fellow BL lovers. I've been googling Kaownah and Turbo because I didn't know who they were when those interviewers and fans spotted them. I thought it was a crossover of some kind when a couple of an existing BL series pops up in a new show as guest stars. But I couldn't find any existing shows where they were together. Like I saw that they're here as guests and on Oxygen as guests (I still remember that, lol), but not as characters, they are called by their real name. But even after looking them up, I couldn't find any source of their "origins", like did they get famous for being together on IG/Twitter or somewhere? They've been cast on a show together, but that will come out in the future, so how are they this well-known already?
Thanks in advance for anyone who can answer! :hugging:
Did I just witness another shade when they hinted at some BL writers being a pain in the ass to work with when adapting the novel into a series? :joy: Istg, I don't mind the usual cringe "funny" scenes, all this tea is making up for it! :laughing::tea:
I wonder why they brought up that casting an IRL gay person may cause problems. (Was it because of the drama between Mew and Art? :thinking:) I mean, sure, there's always a chance that a gay guy will fall in love with their also guy co-actor... but it's basically the same risk as in hetero series with a female and a male lead, so... :person_shrugging:
Ooh, I would've caught that girl too, ngl! :laughing:
Eh, really disliking the moving-in part, I hate that in any kind of story. If there's actually a legit reason why it would make sense, then I'm okay with it, but 99% of these kinda plots couldn't be applied to real life because let's face it - no one wants to move in with a basically random stranger (unless it's only about sharing the costs, but that would be a whole another story).
