It has it's light moments undoubtedly but is probably the closest series in existence to the upcoming 'KinnPorsche'. It comes in two different cuts, one retains all the blood and gangster violence, the other excises a lot of that to concentrate more on the BL story. Here's the trailer. Another that comes to mind is 'Advance Bravely' which admittedly is more of a bromance than a BL. It was originally a BL novel but since the series was made in China it was censored to death by the petrified authorities who appear to be scared their country will fall apart if they see two men kissing! Still, the director has obviously tried to circumvent the restrictions and has succeeded in making it very homoerotic at times. There's no doubting that it's a love story between two men (and a side couple too). Here's the trailer for that one. Btw, this trailer emphasises action and downplays the relationship. Oh, and all that cage-fighting stuff happens at the beginning of the first episode and is then never seen again! Hope that helps.

thank you so much #antistatic for your suggestions, I definitely will check HIStory3 out, about the other one I'm not sure, I'm not very fond on bromance stories even with homoerotic context,maybe bc I've watched them too many in my life, lol
I'm not so against high schools/students boy stories as long as it not too infantile,I'm a bit tired of watching BL series and not getting any sensual/kissing/intimate scenes at all, im looking for smt like Thorn/Type or Knock/Knor kinda series, where we have/see a real romance, not just constant longing looks and rare holding hands between guys 🙄 there are so many new BL series on this blog so I'm totally lost and don't know which one to watch 👀

Very few actors even remotely approach the passion that Max and Tul portray in their older series and this one. The majority of the recent stuff has been geared towards teen-college level, which is why Manner of Love is such a breath of fresh air. I liked Antistatic's suggestion of History 3 Trapped. I also would recommend another one from Taiwan - Because of you. I have high hopes for the Thai drama "A Tale of a Thousand Stars" - that one starts airing Friday - and is about a teacher and a forest ranger (though in the books he was a soldier) - it has Earth (https://mydramalist.com/people/14516-watthanasetsiri-pirapat) as the ranger - he turned on the high wattage towards every romantic interest in all of his previous works (Water Boyy, Theory of Love, Kiss Me Again [where he played a straight character]) and I am hopeful that he will have similar chemistry with Mix.

Thank you #kevvoi for your advices,you're probably right,after Max/Tul and Mew/Gulf sexual/sensual chemistry it's hard to find smt similar in others BL series, they're true masters of their job 😆🤗
looking forward to new one you mentioned 😍

I think the issue is that TharnType and the MaxTul BL were all targeted to an older audience, so they could get away with much more action. I think all these shows were 18+, while most other BL were 13+ or even G-rated.
There is also the fact that a lot of actor see BL as a stepping stone into the mainstream film industry, so they don't want to go too heavy on the action for fear of damaging their future prospects.

Some more Max & Tul for no other reason than you can never get too much Max & Tul.

Such an intense episode! Although the whole time I was yelling at Bun to kick the stairs and break them so he could free himself. Also Tan just leaving him there with no food/water and no real idea he would ever be back? If I absolutely had to cuff my boyfriend to some stairs I'd at least give him some food, a big bottle of water to drink, and a pee jar so he wouldn't soil himself.
Also, that last scene was obviously staged. I think the guy who met Tan in the road was in on it.

I'm not sure what WeTV are up to but they have just made all episodes of Manner Of Death VIP only with the exception of the first two. Previously the episodes became free to view after a one week VIP only window. Unfortunately that means all the links on this thread from episode 3 onwards will now only work if you have a VIP subscription.
If this is a policy change to try and make viewers pay to see the final three episodes then I'm not impressed. It comes across as quite a dishonest move to deliberately entice an audience to invest in a show for free only to pull the rug from under their feet at the climax of the story and start charging. All this move will do is push more people to stop supporting the real site and start using unofficial ones instead.

I suspect it is because the episodes are leaking out a few days early on dailymotion and youtube - I saw episode 11 yesterday on one of the channels I follow a few days ago.

You may be right but I don't see how the action they have taken will change that problem at all.
The latest episode of any series usually gets leaked while it is still behind a paywall, so putting older episodes of the same series behind the same paywall isn't going to make much difference. The latest episode(s) will still get leaked and be appropriated by various unofficial channels. All it takes is for one person with a VIP pass to download the episode from WeTV (plenty of software available to do that even if the function isn't officially available) and then upload it to somewhere like Dailymotion or pass it on to one of the established sites like KissAsian or BLOfficial, etc.
To me this still looks like more of a cynical money-grabbing move by WeTV to push people who think they are going to miss the denouement of the series, into buying a subscription . Maybe it will work for them, who knows?

I heard it is some kind of glitch in the background and WeTV is working to resolve it. This issue is also affecting Best Love on WeTV.

So, in a bizarre turn of events episode 12 appears to have been released unblocked while episodes 3 to 11 remain behind the VIP paywall (for me at least). I know folk have been getting all sorts of different outcomes when they've tried to access WeTV in the past few days - some don't get any episodes showing at all beyond Ep3; others get the first two episodes free but the rest as VIP-only. Some are getting geo-blocked even for the first two episodes, while even WeTV subscribers with valid VIP pass accounts weren't able to access content. They were advised by WeTV to reinstall the app which did succeed in removing the VIP blocking on screen but then apparently stopped registering them as having a VIP account at all, so it all seems to be a bit of a mess at the moment. This link works for me (in the UK) but I'm not sure if it will work for everyone. Episode 12

So now I feel I can comment on episode 11 without spoiling it - that was an amazing episode. A little bit of happiness all around for the gay characters and an interesting twist in the death of Tan's half-brother! I liked how proud Tan and Bun were of That and Sorawat snuggling together - like two very happy gay dads. I also liked Inspector M's reaction to seeing Tan and Bun be all lovey-dovey and concerned for each other - I think it kind of rocked his world and there might be just a whiff of jealousy there. Though his teasing of them that he shot Tan to make it hurt more for Bun showed that he was already onto their relationship.
I am wondering if Jane's sister might be much more involved in the death of Jane - I don't remember who mentioned it, but Rungtiwa had some training as a pharmacist and so maybe she has been moonlighting making drugs? And that Police Chief and Senator are her partners in crime.

Episode 13 was released yesterday as normal but is currently only available to VIP subscribers. I don't think it will go free any time soon as it now looks like WeTV have settled on a (very) delayed free release timetable for this show. All episodes were put behind the paywall with the exception of the first two. Even episode 12 which was originally unblocked last week became VIP after a few days, and now they have just freed up episode 3. If they continue to unblock a single episode each week it will be the end of April before we reach episode 13. Of course, if you have a VPN you can always watch on the above link if you have the option to change the country to Thailand, or else it's going to be a case of waiting a few days and then checking out the other usual places. Yes, because this is the way you always sit with your co-star between takes.

Just watched episode 13 and that was exceptionally dark. Like, this actually got me fucked up. Man, I need more BL's that convey this level of complex storytelling. Hope this is the first of many cause I can't recall any of the other series' eliciting this strong of an emotional reaction from me. I really do hope they can stick the landing with the finale cause there is a lot that needs to be addressed still.

They are doing way too many twists for twists sake. At their current pace, I would expect the finale to be either Tan or Bun been a bad guy this entire time, acting to trick the other person.

Episode 14 (finale) has been released but as expected is only available to VIP subscribers. Episode 4 has also now been freed up again. The above link will work if you have a VPN that you can change to Thailand, or else it's just a case of waiting for it to appear in one of the other usual places. He's found another pillow. Maybe this one's not so hard and lumpy... or maybe it is and that's what he likes about it!
