3/10
Excessive Exposure Therapy to cure homophobia

Warning: Spoilers
In short, I REGRET watching this series. Most of the cast roped in are debutants hence no extravagant performance can be expected. This was a spin off of LBC originally written by MAME, now conceiving a subsidiary plot named, 'Don't say NO' starring Leo and Fiat. There was no point in dragging the plot into a S2 except to strategically extract coins from the poor viewers. All the softcore make-out workshop sessions from behind the scenes that were released on media sufficiently lured the adolescents. Unfortunately, their little hearts were crushed by their favorite CP at the end of S2, as the actors sternly announced about sharing only professional friendship. Muffins were naïve enough to ship an aspiring idol with a model turned actor, while their faces screamed 'UNCOMFORTABLE' through out. People saw chemistry in their eyes, apparently, enough to grant them a dozen awards for two consecutive years. As an advantage of this popularity Mew gained through this series, his songs topped Billboard charts.

Gulf being amateur, scenes were difficult to bear. He was chosen most handsome male Thai actor but to me, he resembles a blob fish (lol). Mew did not amaze me after his work in 'What the Duck?' I personally loved Pree-Rambo dynamic, hence cannot ship Mew-Gulf in spite of liking equal companionship. It was evident that they were forced to mechanically indulge each other for intimate scenes. Mew is renowned for his bold scenes from previous appearance, duping fans into believing that the actor is actually Bi. To the juvenile Fujos, here I give you search words for further reference - 'PreeBo scenes from What the Duck?' and 'Art Pakpoom accusing Mew Suppasit of sexual assault'. Now you know.....

Talking about the concept, it is hilarious and horrifying simultaneously. As ridiculous as it sounds, the plot shows that it takes a homosexual man to cure homophobia of an adult male who was once traumatized by a homosexual at early adolescence. So what's different? There is no consent either times. Only because the second attempt was made on a mature (above 18) male, it is named love? To me its still an assault. I would have respected this script if they portrayed that 'Tharn' had changed the negative feelings 'Type' carried towards queer people in general rendering them friends. We need such healthy mind set in our current society. Instead 'Type' begins to like this coercive penetration and succumbs to 'Tharn'. This only proves the fear of people right, doesn't it?? 'Homosexual men play their hands on other men forcing them into coitus' If the man making such inappropriate advancements is young, rich and handsome, crimes he does could be ignored?? Is that how it works in the country where this series has been filmed? Plot is just a typical Bl, in college setting with nothing to offer. The ending scene cracked me up, a queer man getting married to a lady walking down the aisle whereas two men (predictably heterosexual) rubbing foreheads depicting Queer love.
