@Indie Art Girl, sorry, I am unable to quote your post. Using MDL on IPad is NOT fun. Can’t target reply. Can’t quote long posts. Sigh! 😞 Anyway, to answer your comment about Mr. Fanboy episode 7:

The way I see it, I don’t think Third meant to enable Nine. Third is actually a soft person at heart. He has been repeatedly hurt by Nine. He is frustrated and angry. But beneath it all, he is really hurt. What we normally see is Third’s anger and frustration at Nine’s behavior. But he had thought of Nine as a friend and had actually liked him for some time, before his true colors were revealed. That kind of betrayal from some one thinks of as friend and someone one likes is much harder to stomach. He is hurt.

But he hasn’t exposed Nine yet because the part of him that thought of Nine as a friend and had perhaps begun to think of him as something more can’t really bring himself to ruin Nine, even though he has begun to realize that Nine has never cared for Third. Nevertheless, Third is a good, caring person, and it is hard for him to bring someone to ruin like that. Because some part of him is still clinging to that past where he thought of Nine as a friend.

He had deleted the security footage in their school year and he deleted the video now, ‘cause Nine knows Third is a nice guy. Nine knows how to play him. He has always been guilt-tripping Third whenever Third comes to know about Nine’s ugly actions and is about to expose him. In his school situation, Nine guilt tripped by pointing out that Third had the advantage because of his mother who pushed the scholarship through for him. Nine guilts him by saying he has to work hard, but now he will not get that scholarship because Third’s mother got it for him. Then Third feels guilty. Nine’s misdeeds with the exam paper gets conveniently swept under the rug because he knows exactly how to guilt-trip Third.

Now the same thing happened with the situation with the video. Nine doesn’t let Third point out that he is in the wrong. Instead, he guilt-trips Third saying that if he released the video, so many more people will be affected. And Third being the softie that he is, doesn’t want to hurt anybody else in the process. So he just warns Nine to leave Wan alone and deletes the video. Against his better judgement. But this is a pattern. Nine repeatedly guilt-tripping Third. And Third repeatedly succumbing. Even though some part of Third knows that Nine has done this whole thing too often, he still can’t bring himself to act against Nine completely because Third is still holding onto that part of himself that thought Nine was once his friend.

But even though the anger part of him is there, Third is also really hurt. He has never expressed how much he has been hurt by Nine’s actions over the years. So when Wan asks him about how he was feeling, whether he was hurt, Third’s anguish and pent up sadness burst forth as tears. It might even be the first time someone had asked him about how he felt about the whole thing. The fact that he cried with Wan also means he trusts Wan enough that he can open up that part of himself that has never come out for all those years. Wan is sincere. He cares. And Third trusts Wan enough to let the tears and the pain come out.

This is kind of my take on the whole situation. Sorry for the long post!

I think

You both make some good points. Things will undoubtedly become clearer over the next Saturday or two.

Regarding Mr. Fanboy: Good thing we have Renji-Time, right? They will get done what Third has been unable to/unwilling to do. A excellent pair of mischief makers! I love Renji’s character so far. He’s there to stir thing up and make trouble. Wherever there is something unsavory, there is Renji or Time somehow taking note of it all. I can’t wait to see the grand finale their mischief ends in 🥰

I need help. I know a few people in this group are also GL watchers. I am watching Khom Khlang and have been waiting to see Boom Raveewit. Did anyone notice him yet? (I wrote a longer post in the GL Drama Lovers Club about it.)

Here’s Boom’s promotional poster for the show, for educational purposes, of course.

Anyway, to answer your comment about Mr. Fanboy episode 7:

Ahhh, so Nine is manipulating Third and knows how to push the right buttons. Third has an image of being strong & tough, and even though I can see there is a soft and caring heart, I'm disappointed that Third can be manipulated so easily in the present as an adult (not when they were young) and to me, Third isn't showing enough protectiveness for Wan.

I say that cuz Third didn't seem to have a problem standing up for showing closeness and even wanting to kiss Wan in public. But he comes across as weak in front of Nine, in regards to Wan. He's not saying nothing in Wan's defense, it's just not very impressive so far, or maybe I'll pick up more of it on a rewatch.

I don't know if that makes any sense. Thank you for your input. I guess it's not a black & white situation, haha.

I think all together the episode 7 was bit confusing in terms of keeping up with the plot. I agree that Thrid crying at the end didn't fit what had happened. I think generally there is an issue of Thrid enabling Nine's behavior and allowing him to get away with the hurt and damage he causes to other ppl. Nine by now knows that Thrid is more talk with no guts to actually follow trough with his treats. But yeah maybe Renji and Time will do what should have done years ago to stop Nine from continuously hurting other ppl. 😅

Hey everyone 👋 I am new here, and I would love to join 🤭🤣

LOL I have been away so long that it feels like I am indeed new here. I miss you guys 😭 life has been tough, but I survive. I hope you all have been well.

I have not watched a single BL series in more than a month. I am not even aware of what series are airing and trending these days. I am literally out of touch with everything BL. I never would have thought this was even possible.

I’m loving The Missing Piece, but it’s a little confusing/hard to keep track of the timeline the way it switches from past to present.

I've watched the first episode and quite like it so far. I need to catch up - but it's so hard with so much else to watch. BL overload!
