That time when I said I didn't need you anymore. It made you upset. It's not about that. Who would dare to get mad at you? And that was many days ago, too. I thought the same. Then, if you're not mad, why are you stepping away? It's for another reason. What is it? Can you tell me? Appropriateness.

Did THK really miss an opportunity by not exploring BDSM further or was it simply doing something else

[hurlumerlu]

#tbh i do think it was doing something else. like i don’t think the point was ever to portray a completely healthy bdsm relationship yknow#like i think if that’s the goal there are immediately points taken off for the very fact of who these characters are#kant and bison are both constantly lying each other up until ep8

@akkpipitphattana I both agree and disagree with you I think?

I agree that the point was not to portray a perfect bdsm relationship (what is a perfect bdsm relationship. what does it look like. how do you portray it.) If I am completely honest I think after what they both did to each others (the lies and breaches of trust and ya know. forcing someone to jump overboard while tied up, among other things), the actual healthy bdsm thing would be to look for other partners, and I. certainly didn't want them to do that.

At the same time they could have portrayed a not-horrible bdsm relationship slowly being build. I think that's what they did, in fact (they are certainly kinky till the end, at the very least), but a lot of people disagree and I can't really fault their reasoning? (well. i can in some cases - but those are extreme cases)

But the part of your tags I really want to chew on are those that come after: i think kink and bdsm is an aspect of their dynamic and an aspect of bison’s character specifically#and i would have loved to see more of that dynamic in canon#but i feel like the bdsm aspect was almost more of a litmus test than an actual exploration of kink. do you know what i mean#like it was about establishing first a lack of trust (bison insists on a safe word but kant will never use it and in one of the two scenes#we get bison tells kant he hopes he doesn’t use his safe word)#and then eventually showing that trust was gained (kant safewording on the island and then using it as a nickname after in ep12 when theyre#established and settled. albeit separated by a jail cell but like yknow—) because it's not an either or situation, to me. Like, the litmus test is the kink exploration. And the kink exploration tests the themes. Just like Kant (&Style!) having ulterior motives while Bison (&Fadel!) have secrets serves the themes of seduction and love (how honest are you, with someone you want to seduce? how honest can you let yourself be? doesn't everyone want the person they're pursuing to see the best in them and not the worst? but what if they do see the worst and love you anyway? etc), Kant & Bison's bdsm experimentations highlights questions around trust, violence, coercion and vulnerability that are pretty fundamental to the story but that are also, simply, kinky! This is indeed best exemplified with the mutual dubcon scene (who's taking advantage of who? -well- is it possible for the person inflicting pain to be the one who's being taken advantage of? -yes- is sexual violence an appropriate punishment for someone who was attempting - coded - sexual violence? -no- who wins, here? -no one but the captain- is it still "kinky" if Kant cannot meaningfully say no and Bison cannot meaningfully say yes, and vice-versa? -the layer of fiction means it's kinky to me-) and the safewording scene. In one real life intrudes on kink, in the other kink intrudes on real life (and saves the day, we cheer) but also with it comes the implication that while Bison did not intend for the beach vacation torture session to be an unnegociated M/s scene, it wasn't not that either. You see what I mean? You can't separate the themes, the exploration of K&B's relationship outside of kink and the exploration of kink in and out of universe. They're all woven together.

And then there's the fact that the show keeps doing out-of-universe nods to kink, porn and sex even in non sexy scenes (the motel, the various meetings with an half-naked authority figure, quite a bit of the prison arc) while presenting us with characters who are kinky, sexual beings who are obviously familiar with porn/sex-work (Fadel&Style's garage roleplay, Kant's little caddy stunt, quite a bit of the prison arc) so the line is just exceedingly porous all throughout the show, tying it all together even more tightly.

Because of all of that, I ultimately think the show did explore BDSM in a mostly satisfying way and that it could have been more explicit about it after the island and that it was also doing something else - at least something else than what the people who feel it did not explore BDSM seem to mean by that.

and finally there's also the question of "did they tone down bison's sadism in the end" and the answer is yes but imo that does not negate it, in the same way that vegas saying to pete "you're not my pet" does not actually negate their dynamic in kp. if a show takes the time to establish something i tend to assume it's still there until very explicitely dismantled, and I did not think that was the case here.

[deliriousblue]

oooh. i agree! and i love the way you phrased the paragraph about the mutual dubcon/beach torture scenes. thk definitely is using bdsm as a way to talk about trust and vulnerability, in part because those ideas are thrown into much sharper relief in a bdsm context, but it's also using kink to explore desire and consent (...and kink itself!).

like....the clothesline scene is prison porn but it comes only after the explicit depiction of (attempted) sexual assault. the mutual dubcon scene is explicitly understood by both characters to be a bdsm scene and is fucked up and is hot and is part of the foundation for the later depictions of their dynamic. the fadelstyle garage roleplay is not cnc per se and yet.....it's not totally unrelated if several layers removed? ('because of the implications....'). the physicality of the caddy vs bowling scenes are nigh-identical but one is about playfulness and attraction while the other has overtones of manipulation and coercion. beach torture is not a master/slave kink scene but it's not totally Not that either.

and intriguingly the latter is more so from kant's perspective! bison's actions are by any reasonable metric totally unacceptable; at the same time kant is absolutely choosing to stay. (kant's demeanor the entire time leading up to the safeword simply is not that of a man who is trapped with no way out; i've seen that on kant and beach torture wasn't it. he's not exactly having a good time but he's also.....not not playing along? the situation is complicated!). to what extent is the safeword an out-of-context way of saying 'you said this word meant stop, so stop' and to what extent is it him saying 'this needs to stop, but i am unilaterally declaring it to Have Been a scene and therefore acceptable'. i think it has shades of both! (can he.....uh........do that? i have no answers here but i sure think the question is fascinating.)

kink can look similar or identical to exploitation or assault, with the only (but obviously crucial) distinction being how the involved parties interpret it. what does that mean for coercion as depicted fictionally, especially in such a tropey show? the beach torture episode is up for grabs in terms of me interpreting it as kink as a viewer (could have had more torture!) but in this case....also up for grabs in terms of kant interpreting it as in some sense consensual? (......could have had more torture ?). who gets to decide what violations are or are not forgivable? these questions of interpretation are central to the show and cannot be extracted from the kink they're built around.

ultimately i agree the show isn't trying to do a primer on healthy bdsm relationships even if bison does attempt exactly that. badly. (darling.) but i think it is....joyful, about exploring bdsm and sex and kink and what aspects of those things are compelling. (….from the perspective of the participants but arguably also the audience? thinking about all the references to porn and the way thk is very aware that it’s a story...)

Praew has never done anything wrong in her life and she never ever will

[maybe-boys-do-love]

Color Rush, especially Color Rush 2, is the closest I’ve seen Korean BL come to an Aof Noppharnach work.

An urgent, compelling plot beyond the romance

A profound multivalent queer metaphor infused into the story

A simultaneous embrace and subversion of BL tropes

Interesting female characters with their own desires and resolutions

Electric performances and chemistry from the entire cast elevating the whole work

That lonely lyrical gay yearning

And, of course, an unnecessary low-budget fight scene

PLAIFAHMIUSIC for Maya TV

Translation:

Miusic: I've been dating women since my first relationship. I define myself as pansexual, and I'm attracted to people as individuals. And I'm an actress, so I want to do things that really feel like me. If I can present something that I personally understand and connect with, that's definitely a good thing. I also enjoy roles that challenge me, things that feel difficult but I really want to try. So when it came to this project, I realised it was such a perfect fit for me. I also happened to get the chance to audition. I had made quite a few wishes and prayers, hoping that if I could be in this project, it would be great. Win just likes women. That's exactly how I feel like myself. I just understand love in the way that Win is experiencing it.
