Watch Suggestions:
- watch episodes 1-6
- episode 8 watch 26-38:20
- skip episode 9
- episode 10 watch 12:55-16:20 and 36:20-end (including the extra scene after the initial end credits)

What I Liked
- it was funny how he got into fortune telling (though he's going to need to slow down lol)
- the dream in episode 1
- intimacy

Room For Improvement
- what the writers did to a character in episode 9
- multiple main characters annoyed me. Who needs enemies with "friends" like those (bartender dude was fine turning his best friend into an alcoholic). Itt knew he was hurting Rit by not saying he knew also did the "I can explain" and never explained. Rit also lied and then somehow thought all the actions/feelings they experienced were false? And I cannot believe he did that AT A FUNERAL
- the finale a character apologized for manipulation by more manipulation lmao and they reconciled at 39 minutes...of a 46 minute episode!
- constant comedy sound effects

OMG, why is this crap produced and this crap liked?

First, there was no magic to this show whatsoever. It was so over the top that, it was cringe² ... to begin a relationship with lies is never a good start. That the other partner knew it was a lie and did nothing to not let it spiral out of control was the cherry on top. Thai writers have neither imagination nor a glimpse of real life.

The magic stones confused me in the beginning, why is there glowing and so on, when they don't do anything with it? Why do they use stones at all? Did they have any relevance in this series? Why are Ritt's phrophecies accurate when he has no clue at all... Questions the writers never asked. To make Ritt a more or less alcoholic by his friend is also nothing what I would decribe as "fine". It's irresponsible in my book.

Edit: I guess I have to rant a bit more... The mother of the soon to be idol: Typical mom, projecting and forcing her son to be what she never could and then a 180° turn, yes, I understand you - WTF? There was no development, no struggle for herselves, she just turned and everything was fine. I call Bullshit, when I see it.

I could rant a lot about this show, but I have better things to do. It was part of the crap thai BL april/may line-up which could never have been produced and nobody with a working brain would miss them. And yes, the haters are going to tell me, that I assume that everyone liking it, has no working brain - and yes, that's true. If you like it, then there is something wrong with you 🤣 But that is only my opinion, not a fact.

Besides some pretty framed pictures this show has nothing to go for it, also visual the two couples are quite similar especially with the tall guys. There is of course some f*cking because the fans expect this, but the whole thing was just stupid. If you are limited in time, don't bother with this show and if you have time, find something else to watch, maybe a series which has nothing to do with BL at all...
