I watched eps 8-9 of Boy Next World today and I'm going to hate watch ep 10 tonight just so I can scrub this series off my watchlist and leave it a microscopic number of stars on mdl. What a waste of time, good lord #thaibl

#TheBoyNextWorld Final Thoughts 1. A major disappointment. 2. The writing was atrocious with bad dialogue and details that went nowhere. 3. There was no point to the parallel worlds. 4. The mind reading aspect was underdeveloped. 5. It was boring, tbh. 3/10 #ThaiBL #BLSeries

Yes, absolutely. That's a great addition! Because in the end, we're just guests and the shows weren't made with a western audience in mind.

Laura @bedheadandbl.bsky.social makes some excellent points about own lived queer identity vs systematic norms and how a show can be both, good representation on an individual level and upholding harmful stereotypes in the big picture. Love those types of conversations! vm.tiktok.com/ZNeoFXcQJ/

I've also been annoyed by the portrayal of the relationship, especially in the last episode. While I get that first crush and bad self-esteem don't make for a good combination, neither of them should've been as surprised by Jun's reveal as they were. They should've had an inkling at least. 2/
