The series is being shown in mainland China in tandem with the international release, so we are all seeing it at the same time. Is it actually airing in tadem in China? Last I heard, it wasn't airing at all in China, hence how they got away with a lot of the stuff in the show. What I heard was it is currently only unofficially available in China on third-party streaming sites. There was an actual kiss filmed between Su Yu and Wu Bi, which was included in the version of the episode which passed Chinese censorship, however it will apparently be aired in an edited version due to the company wanting to be extra cautious in getting the series through a smooth broadcast without any problems that could scupper its future. I gather that they are wary that if it is shown, it could blow up on social media and attract attention from a higher level of officialdom who may then look negatively on the show and veto the second series. If even smaller things couldn't get pass Chinese censorship, I highly doubt a kiss would have made it through. I can believe a kiss being filmed but not added to the episode sent to the censor, but not that it was included and passed censorship. I have some serious doubt about these rumors. Obviously, if true, it would be great, but I am going to keep my expectation low

Is Bed Friends an actual term in Thailand for Friends with Benefits? See that used all over

Looking forward to this, but I have to say I like the teaser more than the trailer

Started off okay, but by the end, I was basically forcing myself to finish it cause I already watched most of the episodes. The supervisor, who was never really depicted as very strong, somehow is able to overpower Ren like he was nothing? Also, how they resolved the whole supervisor situation was really unsatisfying. You would think with all the evidence, the big boss would have been more than willing to cut the supervisor off

well, at least it won't be screwed over by covid restriction. Hoping to see a more consistent Kim Ji Oh/Lee Won storyline without covid screwing everything up

I had a feeling they were going to pull a Triage and have Pisang travel back. Always thought something was up with that scene when Pisang tried the crystal in the past.
Loved that hospital scene at the start of 4/4. Subtle stab at why marriage equality is needed. Even though they are together for almost a decade now, Pisang have very limited rights to Kawi's situation if it isn't for the fact that Kawi had no living relative left.

I guess it make sense, he wasn't a big role in the show and feel like a waste of his talent to keep him on just to use him for a few min a season.

woah, I thought Only Friends is replacing Be My Favourite. But that is crazy. This means starting next week, GMMTV will have 3 BLs running at the same time until at least mid Sept...

Don't think this was actually mentioned here. Trailer for the upcoming BL Playboyy was recently released. It definitely seems more risque than most BL. They even have a censored and uncensored version of the trailer
Censored (subtitled):
Uncensored (no subtitles):

Eh, didn't BuXia just rejected JiangChi? Why does JiangChi act like Buxia has accepted his feelings? Did I miss a scene or something?

There is definitely some concerning stories. 1626 is definitely weird with the decade age gap. And I heard one of them have some kind of pseudo-incest?

I think this is the earliest kiss in a GMMTV BL. Even Bad Buddy had their first kiss in Ep 5

While I would love to see more skam, not sure how well it will translate to Asia. While they can definitely copy the concept of social media and real-time clips, the content would have to be changed pretty significantly to fit Asian culture. Like, are they really going to show massive partying and alcohol/drug consumption?

I didn't notice the posters, but yeah, I am saying it is a BL even without the kiss. They definitely indicating a greater relationship than just brothers/friends.

Guess that is how they are going to explain away why certain actors not coming back

Lom was forgiven way too easily and that ending scene is unnecessary unless they really going to do some kind of sequel.
The random strangers in the countryside just become an unnecessary exposition dump

Wonder why there aren't a lot more music focused KBL considering the number of idols entering the BL industry

Do people think that scene with Wu Bi and the girl in the latest episodes push this into BL or are we still on the bromance track?

Glad everything is out in the open. Hopefully Pear isn't too hurt. After all, she never really dated either of them.
