NLE

If it doesn't have a strong plot, then why is it rated 8.8? It's the second highest rated BL show out of more than 700+ BLs on MDL. You can agree or disagree, but the ratings and the number of people who like the show don't lie.
Also, you went back and edited your comment.

Season 1 = 16 episodes
Season 2 = 25 episodes
Special Episode JohanNorth = 2 episodes

All up is 43 if you count 2 x Special Episode JohanNorth

So young and he is a director of Deep In, look forward to more of his shows

I always wanted an episode where all 5 couples got together, and my dream finally came true. They released a special episode, and I'm so happy. What a great way to finish off both seasons. We got 43 episodes, and I loved every single one of them.

Not a girl, and I’m chill. Just like you assumed wrong about that, I was simply using my reasoning. Not sure how I was meant to read the OP as joking just because “lol” was added, the same way you interpreted it. I was just explaining my logic, that’s all.

Nice editing. Your original comment called this show "PORN," and now you've changed it to "This feels like softcore porn" after so many people called you out.

Calling it porn just because it has a sex scene doesn’t really make sense. By that logic, Game of Thrones, Bridgerton, Oppenheimer, Kinnsporche and countless mainstream films/series would all be porn too.

Porn is created primarily for sexual arousal and explicitly showcases sexual acts. Payback on the other hand is a drama with a strong plot, excellent acting, cinematic production, and well-developed characters. The love scenes serve the story and the relationship between the characters. That’s the difference, and that doesn’t make them porn.

8.8, let’s make it 9

Haha, when I do an exam, I get so stressed that I just focus on myself so maybe other students didnt see him.

I'm actually surprised the exam invigilator didn't notice it.

For guys, it's pretty easy to hide something like that, but I didn't want to mention it because I didn't think it would be appropriate since you're a girl.

Me too, that scene was so hot. Who touches themself during an exam lol :)

Everyone is talking about the NC scene, but can we take a moment to appreciate Sun’s story?

Imagine your ex boyfriend stealing the money you had saved to treat your mother. Imagine losing your brother because of him. That kind of pain would break most people.

For the past five years, Sun has worked every single day, taking on any job he could find, day and night, just to repay the debt and escape a life of debt collecting. He has carried grief, guilt, and exhaustion on his shoulders for so long. No wonder he rarely smiles. His life has been one long fight to survive.

I hope Jay becomes the light at the end of Sun’s darkest tunnel. I hope he helps Sun get the justice he deserves and finally takes away the burden he has carried alone for so many years.

And when the revenge is finally over, I hope they get married and live happily ever after, because if anyone deserves peace, love, and a reason to smile again, it’s Sun.

Holy crap, non stop kissing in start of Episode 7. I didn’t even get a chance to breathe just watching them. The chemistry was so intense. I wonder how many hours they spent filming that scene because it looked incredibly natural.

Also, did I miss an episode? I remember in the last episode Qing Lang told Chang Yang that he regretted meeting him, so I thought they were going to be apart for a while. Instead, they’re back kissing like nothing happened. Then one of them says, “I bet you missed me.” That escalated so quickly without dragging out the reconciliation, and honestly, I was not expecting it.

I agreed, I wrote a post about the mother last week


The mother is trying to protect her son. She knows that if he falls in love with the prince, his life will be in danger because this is a historical era, and at that time in Thailand, same sex relationships were illegal. She is not trying to take away his happiness. She is trying to keep him alive. That must be an incredibly painful position for her to be in.

Viki or GagaOOLala. Change your VPN if your country doesn’t support

I agreed to both, now we all now why he loves kissing. Should be 16 episodes :)

Episode 6 review Jay realizes Sun was the bunny costume person he slept with five years ago because he recognizes his tattoo but it is not clear yet whether Sun knows it was Jay from that night


Sun already knows Jay is Director Arthur now but it is still unclear whether Sun has realized that Jay and the man from five years ago he slept with, can anyone confirm ?

Wow, I wasn’t expecting 11 years for them to be separated, that’s such a long time.
Imagine both of them missing each other for 11 years, that’s crazy. When they finally reunite, their love scene is going to be explosive after all those years apart.

So many people will hate the father, but every story has more than one side.
The first thing he did was apologize to Tin. He told him he was sorry, that he never wanted to hurt his feelings. He embraced his son, held him close, and tried to let that painful night fade away.
We also have to remember the world they lived in. At that time in Thailand, same sex relationships were not legally recognized. They belonged to a royal family, where every decision carried the weight of duty, tradition, and the expectations of an entire kingdom. He was not only trying to protect his son. He was trying to protect his wife, his family, and everyone who depended on the crown.
If this story took place today, in a time where same sex relationships are accepted and legally recognized, I would disagree with the father's actions. But this is a different era, shaped by different realities. That does not mean his choices were free from pain, but it does mean they deserve to be understood within the world he lived in.
Sometimes love is not shown through perfect decisions. Sometimes it is buried beneath impossible responsibilities, where every choice hurts someone

Speaking of the devil, I am watching The Edge of Horizon ep 3 as we a speak. All the shows you mentioned are 10/10 for me.

Yes, I completely agree.

Peach Lover/Tide to Love are good examples. It has plenty of NC scenes, but the plot is quite weak.

If you haven’t add to watch list yet, please add, The Prosecutor’s Proposal from Korea and Deep In from China, which are both currently airing, have managed to balance everything really well. They have strong plots, great acting, and excellent chemistry, with bonus great NC so they tick every box for me.
