Dude, it’s fiction. They most likely searched for an expired patent and used as a template. Chances are they…
my only objection was that they got a patent in two days. This is even more unbelievable than all the various supernatural elements we have gotten accustomed to :)
I was actually surprised that the writer(s) knew about design patents. But that's when the silliness starts:
1. What is shown on the tablet is for design patent D457884: https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/90/57/39/275a42843245aa/USD457884.pdf. It's for a 3D mouse, and was granted back in May 2002! 2. The production team actually did go through the trouble of changing the text (as far as I can discern) as well as the picture, but left the date blank. 3. However, what is shown is the front page of a *granted* patent, not a patent application. 4. A patent, whether utility or design, does not get a number until it is granted. There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY the USPTO could have granted a design patent in two days!
I am not an IP lawyer, maybe an actual IP lawyer can find more problems here :)
Finally watching this. On ep. 5 and still terribly confused about half of the characters. If only they would put the name of who is talking along with the translation in the subtitles.
I'm shocked that Atom masturbating thinking about Zen is a sign of psychopathy to some people. I also didn't understand…
BLs rarely depict realistic gay relationships; after all, the main target demographic is teenage girls and young women and how they imagine these relationships to be.
So when a bit of realism creeps in, they get all upset.
I actually enjoy the egregious product placement, but sometimes it gets ridiculous:
Zen and Grandma presumably are barely scraping by financially, right? Zen has to work two part time jobs, is terrified at the prospect of losing his scholarship, and Grandma's desserts can't be making them too much money.
Yet they both have the latest Samsung folding phones, which go for almost $1000 in the USA!
Right up until the last second I kept wondering if Joe was ever going to find his ATM card or get access to his…
I had wondered about that, too, but it was less than THB 1M, about EUR 25k. He did try to break into his old apartment and get the bank card, and failed, then overheard Wut/Ming/Sol wondering what had been stolen and how the ATM card would be useless without the password, so he didn't want to give himself away, as who else would know the password. Afterwards, when everyone found out who he was, that small an amount would have no effect on the storyline, so the writer (correctly) ignored it.
This showed up in my Youtube feed again, maybe because I was just watching the En of Love episode that involved swimmers.
Was it ever made clear why Fah (White's character) wanted to join the swimming club, or even staying after all the abuse he was getting? He didn't intend to actually swim, he isn't too happy about doing everyone's homeworks, and is even putting up with Pan's bullying and everyone's tolerating it.

Having watched this series multiple times, I still view Kengkla as a disgusting, self-centered, arrogant rapist…
The whole Techno/Kengkla subplot was unnecessary. The only relevance I can think of is as another example of how treacherous a sibling can be, as a parallel to Tin's relationship with Tul, only with the ages reversed.
The flashback shower scene in the opening of Ep 5 was so unrealistic. No way they would have started moving toward kissing without certain, ahem, hard, indicators about how attracted they were to each other, yet not even a suggestive glance!
It took me a while to figure out why Joe agreed to take Tong's place when meeting with the loan sharks: Joe is an orphan, and he doesn't want a similar fate for Tong's child, regardless of how rich the kid would be.
