Fool in love ep 9 and 10

May contain spoilers!

Well the honeymoon phase was really short. I do have to say my eye roll was significant when Ing at the scene told Yok he has never meant to hurt anyone and then I just thought how many times I have seen him throwing punches in during the series. I do think maybe they could have extended the honeymoon part just a little, bc we got the reveal of the big betrayal at the end of ep 10, but to make that betrayal feel at more believable I think I needed the relationship part feel more substantial. I think going back to them hating each other came really quickly, considering they just barely got to being in a somehow happy relationship.

Waiting definitely what the last 6 episodes will be like, especially now that the younger brother has shown his true colours. I think so far the relationship development between Itt and Force has been on the background of the show. While Yok's and Ing's back and fort is entertaining to watch, it is getting to the point where as a viewer know what is going to happen (they break up, get back together, break up etc.). We got a short scene with Itt and Force, but hopefully they will get more screen time, giving the series plot something new towards the last 6 episodes.

I'm planning to binge-watch this one. So far, I've managed to avoid any spoilers, thank you for covering yours, by the way ! I'm a bit confused because you mentioned the last 6 episodes. As far as I know, there should be 20 episodes. Did they change it to 16 ?

Sorry my bad, got this and Crow Club mixed, since both of them are longer. But yeah rest of 10 episodes will be interesting to see how the plot keeps evolving.

Fool in love ep 9 and 10

After I thought about waiting for Thursday to watch ep10 and 11 together, I kept getting spoilers on IG and Facebook, so I just finished ep10. It's as sad as I imagined, we didn't even get a day to breath a bit that again it's fights and betrayals. I'm sorry for Ing, because it seems to me it's the first time he's really seriously into someone and that's what he gets in return. While I'm totally upset with Ing/Yok lack of communication (typical in BL, Lakorn and in dramas in general) I think Yok didn't play fair. Of course Itt didn't help, but still, it's as if Yok was knowing what was coming but kept waiting for the world to find him a solution. From the spoiler for ep11 it's going to be very ugly and dirty, hopefully the 3-episode cycle I mentioned yesterday is still on and we get a bit of love in ep12 🙈

Tiffany:

No worries, I'm glad it's 20 episodes ! And it will be finished by mid-December since 2 episodes are released each week.

me too, already hoping another really good BL will start airing by end of Nov-beginning of December, otherwise my evenings will be spent at re-watching my favorite 9+ series of this year (Sammy's, Fake Fact Lips, Don't get too emotional,...). I'm placing big hopes on The Grim Lover 🤞

ETA: did you see how the ratings for Fool in Love kept improving after each episode? It started at 8.4, then 8.7, it was 8.8 last week and we are now at 8.9. I'm curious to see if it will stay steady, go above 9.0 or fail in the last episodes like so many good dramas (for ex. Love of Silom)

I'm in a Portuguese speaking group, and one of the discussions was about listing all the drama titles which aired and finished in 2026, that you rated 9+. Guess what? Most of my list was BL! I hesitated for a second, then decided there was no shame in sharing my list in that group, even if it's not BL centered.

Now that I have a list, let me copy paste it here, I took away the straight dramas: (All are between 9 and 9.5, I normally never give any 10)

• Fake Fact Lips (Japan, BL)

• Sammy's Children's Day (Hong Kong, BL)

• A Winter Sun Wakes the Wind in Spring Hills' Dream (China, BL)

• Deep In (China, BL)

• Don't Be Too Emotional (Thailand, BL)

• Lost to You (Singapore, BL)

• My Summer of You (Japan, BL)

• The Prosecutor's Proposal (Korea, BL)

• The Sun from Another Star (Thailand, BL)

• Wishing upon the Shooting Stars (Taiwan, BL)

PS: of course I'll update this list mid of December and add Fool in Love when it's finished.

And you, what are your 9+ favorites for 2026 so far?

Ju Moon:

I didn't know which of his other shows to watch and now I do. Thanks for the tip 😊

You're welcome! But as said, don't expect much of this lakorn, it's pretty average!

Tiffany:

That means I've rated 13 out of the 73 BLs or bromances I've watched 9 or higher (only counting those that finished airing in 2026).

10 out of 46 for me!
