Me, too. Although the main couple hasn't really blossomed yet, I'm just so totally fascinated watching Gun and his awesome expressiveness without the need for words. As to the current situation with Tae, it's a fluffy GMMTV comedy, so I am confident (fingers crossed) that he and everyone else will get their happy ending. 

Yeah, I hope Tae gets his happy ending. I love Jane's gaze every time he looks at Ryan lol, it's so hot XD

I plan to binge this one.

It's cute and fun, although quite the slow burn lol

I think what they've tried to do, is take the gaps of plot in UWMA and fill it in BU, so team and win have already established a relationship before pharm and dean, at the open event, as well as making up for the difference in side characters between the shows. Yeah, I've spotted a few mistakes as well. Tul was on the bus beside Team in UWMA but in BU he woke up late and drove there. I've also seen Win's piercings change where they've reused old footage LOL They've tried to connect but still make do with what they had so I dont mind the slight differences and just fill it myself in my own imagination.

Yeah I can understand that. I think overall they did a good job. I totally expected that they would utilize footage from the original series since this is supposed to be that series but with the original story mostly out of out sight and running in the background from Win's & Team's pov as their story takes focus and plays out.

Nothing made me truly upset or deeply frustrated throughout it, thankfully. Just to elaborate, the most I can say that was a little bit of a disappointment was about the ending that I mentioned being a odd way to end it — with the 1v1 swimming competition. I don't understand why they didn't end it with Win & Team having some form of a final endearing intimate moment of some kind to close it out — such as after they finished that 1v1 while still in the pool, having them say some final endearing words to each other and a kiss that would close out the end of the series(something similar to Shi De & Shu Yi in the We Best Love S2 final ep). It was strange to me, especially because after everything they just went through emotionally in finally being able to express their love, which was incredibly difficult for both of them to get to the point of doing, and they finally came out of the other side of that deeply in love with each other.  The way they closed out the series with the cut mid dive into the pool for the 1 v1 seemed to have REALLY pissed off a LOT of people at the time apparently from the reviews lol. I get it though, and it's why I thought it was a weird ending also.

BUT, I also thought to myself(rationalized? coped? idk lol), in a way, that this is so Win & Team. I felt that might be their own personal love language based on their character's personalities and them as a couple. In my head it seemed to make some sense, because neither one was the extremely romantic and emotive type in the ways Dean and Pharm were, for example. Different things work for different couples. So, whether that was their intent with the characters in the writing and direction or not to end the series this way, it seemed to make *some* sense to me(again, cope? idk lol). Still a little disappointing that was the end we were left with. It was kind of the way you'd end a bromance/buddy series to me. But, in BL fan world, I get that most people want that endearing moment and I kinda did too. That said, I just enjoy art how it was intended to be presented by the creator(s), and like you I fill in my own blanks.

Side Note: the whole thing of having all the cast come out all in pairs(except poor Santa lol) dressed in white in front of the beachside wedding arch and just standing there was confusing and didn't seem to make sense. It was like we were about to get a marriage proposal, or something, but we got baited and nothing happened?? lol

Some more Rotated Hexagon Badges and I tried a rectangle badge.

@Jadeheart ......did you watch a different version from me? because team confesses to win on the beach, then dean proposes to pharm in the next scene LOL and then all the characters gather together in a wedding shot, was kind of just closing out the series as whole. everyone lived happily ever after LOL 

I think Thailand only legalized gay marriage this summer so but may a few shots fired as well? lol

I was annoyed at the Tul and WIns brother plot. I thought that was kind of dumb. I skip those scenes lol

Although, having said this, I am usually the odd one out in life and it's not different in this thread LOL I seem to be always on the other end of most perceptions so it's understandable if I just interpreted it in another way.  Even just today, in the august challenge everyone had 'acts of service'. And I'm all alone again with my words of affirmation and gifting LOL

Oh well. Better luck next adventure lol

I am so here for the Unknown one:

I m getting too tired to type a reaction and watch at the same time but bad buddy ep 4 - this whole thing with the bracelet hits a nerve. if you've ever had gay pining over someone having straight flirting, it really fkn hurts. In a hetero connection it hurts, but a gay one cuts deeper.....

I assume we watched the same(uncut) version lol. I was strictly just talking about Win & Team only in reference to the beach side wedding arch scene. Sorry if I caused you to think I meant any others but them. Dean and Pharm weren't part of my previous elaboration on the ending.(I know that Dean plans to have the actual marriage happen in America when they go visit Pharm's mom). The beach scene you mentioned where Win & Team talk before they head over to that beach side wedding arch was more of what I assume was an implied sentiment of being together forever used in place of an outright literal marriage proposal. I then thought a direct proposal would happen at the wedding arch, and then that didn't happen there either. It was all just implied through sentiment and neither Win or Team asked to actually marry the other(unless my subititles were not accurate?). That's why I found that confusing. Maybe becasue they didn't have marriage equality yet when that was filmed, so this was just how they did it since they couldn't actually be married yet in the country? But idk, since marriage proposals and weddings took place in other previous series when it wasnt yet legalized then either, so idk if that's the reason(still odd either way since it's directly mentioned between Dean & Pharm). I was just confused becasue there was no explicit marriage proposal, and they just wanted us to have the impression of one. I guess that's just one of those writing/direction decisions I found a little odd. I still got the impression that's what that was supposed represent anyways. No big deal, just scenes that seemed to be restrained from some reason.
