guess Mon's mother isn't an utter b*tch - even though she did over step, as she had NO reason to call a student that didn't do anything to her room, like she did. & her telling her son that he's mean - talk gaslighting. u gotta break him to educate him?!? so what if he didn't introduce Kim to her, they just started dating - enough that he informed her that he is dating. when the time came, he would bring him home for an introduction, it's not like they getting married - ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Shane's parents r piece of work, sadly as the adults they have the right to do whatever & their children will just have to tough it out, like they have been. ironic that they were fending for themselves, paying the bills etc... & now again cause the parents decided, they gonna get separated & will have to get used to a new reality. idk what Shane can do & how/where he can stay if he decides not to go with his mother - even if he has a say in the matter.****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the teachers r cute & all but am still dying from 2nd hand embarrassment - Tan is so cringe & clumsy, i can't with him... at least Nat finds his weirdness cute, lol
In Episode 5 of Boys in Love, the story shifts as Cheese runs away to Pattaya, feeling overwhelmed and needing space to figure things out. His sudden disappearance worries his friends, especially Shane and Kit, who decide to go after him. Their road trip turns into more than just a search—it becomes a chance for reflection, bonding, and emotional growth. The beachside setting of Pattaya brings a softer, more peaceful vibe to the story, contrasting with the emotional weight the characters are carrying. Through quiet conversations and heartfelt moments, this episode explores themes of friendship, identity, and the need to escape when life gets too heavy. It’s a slower-paced but deeply emotional episode that many fans love for how real and vulnerable it feels.
With a nice mix of lighter (Mon's pouting, teachers getting closer) and heavier (Shane's family problems) topics the series continues its streak of good episodes - with solid writing and decent performances. What I enjoyed most was the Kit-Shane stuff, especially the beach scene and what Kit said there - basically what everyone in his position says or wants to say (but lacks the courage). I liked Kit's reaction to Shane's call: he got up in the middle of the night and drove to his soon-to-be bf to help him. That's what a relationship is about (and what BLs often neglect to emphasize) and the show presented it in a very natural way. BTW: Kit is the only character who has actually grown since the series started (from a seemingly spoiled kid with problems to someone who still has problems, but tries to solve some of them and cares for the one he loves), but not the only one who has potential for growing - hope we'll see more character development in this show.
