I've heard raves about how Gay OK Bangkok was real. That it portrayed real gay Asian people and their lives. As a gay Asian, I HAD to watch this series.

And it was a breath of fresh air seeing BL series portray gay people realistically, portraying the issues that gay people come through, such as the rampant hookup culture, the emphasis on looks, relationships and cheating. However, I do admit that I prefer BL's that are fluffy and rose-tinted though as they make my heart sing which Gay OK Bangkok doesn't. Gay OK Bangkok is more akin to the LGBT films and TV shows that the Western world releases.

It is unfortunate that Pom, my favorite character (and many other people's favorite character), didn't get the love that he was seeking and that he was constantly rejected. He knows that he's because of his looks and that he is femme, which are both down upon in the gay community unfortunately. It's hard and I can completely relate...
