After watching ep 7 everything Sun experienced and did from ep 1 until now came back to me and it hurt 😢

The thriller part is so good, which is the reason why I really enjoyed the series, but the romantic storylines? This is a supranatural horror thriller series, which is a unique genre in BL, but for their love problems they just had to insert random love rivals and created unnecessary misunderstandings as if it was just another ordinary romance drama, which made the eps focusing on their romance felt so jarring. Like, it didn't even any connection with the whole theme, unlike ChanJet's, which made their romantic storylines more interesting than the main couple. I'd rather them focus on Pharan's internal conflict than that, or at least made the love rival have some connection to the whole curse situation. And why is Khem such a damsel in distress 😭😭 I mean I understand he was just an ordinary person without any supranatural power aside from seeing ghosts, and he couldn't even learn anything because Pharan refused to take him as a disciple, which is why I wasn't annoyed at him at the beginning. But then it turns out he also didn't have any survival instinct despite being in danger his whole life 😭😭 I thought we've long past having this type of character since at least a decade ago. For a series with such a unique genre and plot (well made even), it surprisingly has way too many overused cliches, which is kinda disappointing because otherwise it would've been so good.

For people who think Pobmek forgave his mother too easily, no, it was a long process for him. And for people who just wanted him to cut his mother off, let me remind you, this series is about healing. Pobmek had been distancing himself from his mother for years, only short of cutting her off. Did his wound heal? No, it just festered, a thorn in his happy life with Solar. What he needed was closure, and only his mother can give him that. And he didn't forgive her just like that, he saw how his mother had changed a lot (her old self would've criticized Jee the moment she knew he was a teacher, just like how she criticized Solar when she knew about his major, and not be able to accept both Solar and Sun) and saw hope, so he decided to give her a chance (mind you, he never said anything about forgiving) because that was what he wanted and needed (see, he was the first to ask her to be kinder to him). Like he said, they were just starting to understand each other, and that was the beginning of the road towards his forgiveness and healing. And his mother was willing to put in work to gain that forgiveness, and at the same time, help him heal. This is actually what I like about this series. Like yeah, every ep there's a new problem that's tackled and solved by the end of each ep, but they always indicate that the process didn't just end there. Like for ep 1, the ending was Pobmek's resolve to stay and help Solar go through his sickness. Ep 2, Pobmek finally started to open himself up and ask for help from others. But here's the thing: he was only starting. He still had a lot of walls within himself, even towards Solar. Ep 3, Pobmek willing to slow down and accept Sun as part of his life. But as we've seen in episodes afterwards, he still had trouble with it. Ep 4, he almost became like his mother, but in the end he didn't. Instead, it was the start of his bonding with Sun, which would only get stronger as we go through episodes afterwards. Ep 5, Ms. Pang only gave them a chance, didn't mean she'd completely let go of it. The same with Ep 6, it's just the beginning of another journey for Pobmek.

Probably because she knew from her own experience how important having financial stability was, which can only be achieved by having well-paying job. We never see his father being there or even being mentioned from when he was still a kid until the present, he wasn't even there on his graduation day. So she probably had to raise him on her own, and didn't want him to struggle like her in the future. Like with the way her hand immediately went for beer in the middle of the day like a habit, it was probably a sign that she had been living a stressful life. She even said she had to give up a lot of things after giving birth to Pobmek. So for her as long as he was financially secure, everything else was fine for her. Because she thought having financial stability equal happiness, and despite everything, in the end, she just wanted him to be happy. But I also think she probably had mellowed down a lot from when he was younger, that's why she was chill with his relationship with Solar, Solar's condition, and Jee's profession. She even mentioned it herself. She only couldn't let go of her obsession towards what she envisioned as the bright and stable future for Pobmek. Especially since as Jee once said, being a teacher didn't pay much.

Well, in the end, Jee is still not her son. She only praised Jee because she wanted Pobmek to have all his traits, which she thought would ensure his success. She actually didn't really care how others were doing, she only cared about Pobmek living well by her standard, that's why she was so strict towards him and kind to others.

Well, my assumption is Sodchuen is the one who hired him, which went against the rules, that's why she didn't report about hiring him to the main campus and Ms. Pang didn't know about him.

He has temporary license, Jee mentioned it in his chat to Pobmek in the end. So in general, there's nothing wrong with hiring him as a teacher. But I saw a Thai said some schools are strict about teaching license and some don't. The main campus of the school they worked at is probably strict about it and that's why it became a problem.

Many people are saying that his current mom is probably not his biological mom, but what if she was and his parents got divorced before he was seven y.o. and the woman who fought with his father in his flashback was his stepmother? 🤔

A theory about Solar's parents

I think Raffy will get his karma through Pete and I can't wait lol.

One upside of this series being geoblocked on yt is the mdl page actually quite peaceful. It's been a while since I feel at peace in this platform.

Another good and emotional ep 😭 I felt so bad seeing little Sun being so nervous to speak on the stage, I was internally rooting for him, but he returned to his savage self very fast lol. Kinda sad that Solar's screen time is very little the last two eps since he's my fav character, but seems like he'd appear more often next ep so I'm excited!

The doctor had stated in the beginning that Solar was physically fine in the beginning. His head got injured in an accident, of course brain scan would be the first thing a hospital do. The cause for his age regression is psychological, and they'd go to a psychotherapist later on. Jee and Sodchuen would be Pobmek's biggest support in dealing with Solar's situation, and the process is wholesome imo.

Yeah of course the vibe of the show matters too. That's why if you find the vibe of a series change a lot from the pilot trailer, like Melody of Secret for example, it's probably either to attract more sponsorships or the sponsor's request. And you're welcome! I understand fans only want the best for the artist, and I understand if they complained about promotions and everything else, but when it comes to the company caring about profit, I think we should step back and think about the people working behind the scenes that need to be paid along with the actors. Notice how GMMTV held so many concerts nowadays? That's probably to support the production of 30+ series for GMMTV2026. I think it's a reckless decision and put a lot of burden on their artists, especially the ones like PPW and PS who are clearly overworked being active as both singers and actors, but I understand the intention behind their decision.

Marking it as spoiler because it's long lol, it's up to you whether to read it or not. Don't come at me, I'm not defending GMMTV, I'm just answering from business perspective. The geoblocking is because LYT is on Viki and MAT is on iQiyi. Why? Because GMMTV can only give standard budget to all their series, or else it'd be a preferential treatment. And even though I call it "standard budget", it's not so little that youtube views alone can cover it no matter how much it is, far from it. How to get more budget? By securing sponsors. Some series stay free on youtube because they either take on some product placements or fail to get any sponsorships. Everything in MAT is very high quality because they took a lot of product placements on top of selling the streaming rights to iQiyi. While for LYT, you'll see that there's no product placement in the series. There's no way no brand is interested on sponsoring a series of a couple as popular as PerthSanta, especially with an award-winning director. So it's highly possible that Dome himself refused to take product placement, probably because it could ruin the flow of the series. Then the only way to get more budget is by selling the streaming rights. That's how we got the quality LYT has right now. As much as I want LYT to be watched by more people, I understand their decision. If they only ambitiously invest to create high quality series, they would've sank a long time ago and many staffs wouldn't get paid, like what happened to Idol Factory right now. GMMTV is different from other PH too, they need to constantly produce multiple series at a quick pace because they have their own broadcasting station.

If you think ep 1 is awful then I don't think it's for you. I can't answer your question because I think the show is amazing from the get-go so I don't know if your standard of "getting better" will be the same as mine but I do think so.

Pobmek is just a math teacher, he's not a homeroom teacher so he doesn't have any specific class he's responsible for. The class he was teaching in ep 1 was the one he was peeking at in ep 4, there was a woman inside the class who was most possibly their homeroom teacher. While Solar is both an English teacher and a homeroom teacher.

He directed Peaceful Properties and MuTeLuv.

I know only 3 eps are out so far but each ep has been so wholesome, and I love Solar so much 🥺 Santa really did a good job portraying two characters differently, and finally Perth gets a character that make him show all kinds of different expressions. Been wanting that for Perth because I knew he's capable of it, so I'm very happy. Gotta thank P'Dome for everything, this series is perfect in all angles and nothing like anything I've ever watched, BL and non-BL, from any country. PerthSanta have always been good at portraying their characters and each of their emotions, but a good director can really bring the best out of an actor, and this series is already PerthSanta's best performances yet even though only 3 eps are out. Wish him have a good sleep every night and wake up refreshed every morning, everyone involved in this production too.

Right, like he even cried when Solar's mom asked whether he was alright because he really wasn't and everything was too much for him. And about styling, don't worry you're not the only one lol, I like it too.
