Last episode had me cracking up, I had to stop multiple times because I was crying from laughing too much! XD

All the cameos were chef's kiss, I bet they had so much fun with all the GMMTv gang on set those days! Sea's takes...! XDDDD
I would never be able to see Thee&Peach with other faces, BUT if that were to happen I kinda feel like JuniorMark could be the best doubles... Junior is as crazy/fun/weird as Thee (and an amazing actor to pull off all his quirks) and Mark has the same vibes Phuwin has (I loved how he couldn't stop laughing on scene, lmao, can we blame him? XD)

This was the perfect way to end this tribute to a lovely series! I will miss all these characters, they really grew on me... probably one of the more soothing, heartwarming, funny and positive series ever!

I forgot Bas was in this, with so many series airing these weeks... just bingewatched the first 5eps and I LOVE THIS!

Yes, there are more than a few cringe moments... and yes, I agree with those saying that the intimate scenes were terrible (I would have preferred to see nothing instead of that lifeless and aseptic "love-making" moment...), BUT I am loving Bas as Yue so much! All the nuances in his eyes, light smiles, hand gestures... he's carrying the show for me (the story and plot is great and interesting too but unfortunately the direction and execution lack something).

The flowers moments were so precious, I was smiling from ear to ear and I was so praying and hoping for them to be happy... and the "sun+moon=light" scene had me crying: when I see rough/scarred characters like Yue opening up and becoming the sweetest thing my heart just melts with them!

I will now pause and wait for episode 7 to be out so that I can binge 6&7 together... and then have my heart torn in ep8.

Hmmmm if you haven't seen this one (League of Nobleman), do watch it because it's a great drama - different vibes from MLC, but very interesting plot and charismatic leads with a deep and strong backstory and a huge mystery to be solved.

Also if you haven't seen them, some major titles:

-- FANGS OF FORTUNE: I personally loved the "brotherhood" aspect and the whole team; although it's not about solving mysteries, there is a huge backstory and lots of interesting side characters and side plots (it gets lost a bit in the second part but it's pretty theatrical and enthralling)

-- GUARDIANS OF THE DAFENG: this is more action/comedy and more "individual story" but it definitely keeps you seated from start to finish, and the solving cases parts are intriguing too. the transmigration aspect is pretty funny (the ending is a pretty open one paving the way for a S2 but we're still waiting for it, although rumours say it will start shooting next year)

-- THE SPIREALM: this is set in modern times and it's a huge series with an incredible story. The plot is very interesting, the path to solve all levels is enthralling AND the plot twists keep you glued to the screen!

-- TREASURE AT DAWN: this is actually VERY similar to MLC... it stars Li Hong Yi (who I personally love, although here he's pretty "wooden") as a doctor who solves cases, and the trio of main characters reminds me a lot of our three boys in MLC... the story has some ups&downs and there are some plot holes but it's not too long and the mystery part is pretty fun.

I'm a grandma in disguise! XD Just joking, but yeah I still have my oooooold burned DVDs with the first fansubbed series downloaded bit by bit with eMule... ages to download an episode (or rather: a partition of it!) with a 56k modem! XD

I had a friend who was also a fan, living 45 minutes away from me, and we would regolarly meet and exchange series... since it took ages to download one, we would download different series each and then exchange them. XD

I so agree with this! Somehow there are only three moments/elements in which I think about the "gay" part, and it's when we're either talking or having scenes in:
1. showbiz setting
2. toxic fan setting
3. bigoted business family (CY's dad)
And I feel like it's a choice: it's the only moments in which love and individual happiness are a problem and are not respected.

In all other scenes I just feel like watching shades of humanity bloom or wither, grow and intertwine together with time and nature in a dreamlike setting that envelops rthe soul.

I felt like the HOW he actually died wasn't the point, although I never even for a second thought it was suicide (he was ready to live, to give love and life another chance). The way in which they told this loss was, for me, more of a "some things just happen and you cannot do anything about it". Good things. Bad things. Cruel things. Happy things. Whatever it is, they are just destined to happen in one way or the other.

Although tragic, when the episode ended I was broken inside but at the same time I had this feeling of understanding and acceptance that made the loss painful but, in a way, part of the journey.

Few facts:

1. I'm lowkey convinced this series must be a dehydration test - I cried all my tears the whole episode, AGAIN!

2. Tinn is like the sweetest, most precious creature ever in the BL universe.

3. if ten years ago they would have told me "in the future we'll have BLs with great plot, unique stories and amazing acting" I would never have believed it... I've been watching asian dramas since 1999 and I'm so happy the BL niche has grown so much!

4. Ongsa must be an angel in disguise, boy is the most mesmerizing young thai actor of the year!

And yet, however things are going, this is still such a great series - even something so deep and tragic was intertwined with past memories and stories and somehow I could feel this was the direction it was taking... because sometimes life steals your long-awaited happiness when you were finally ready to accept it.

TayNew can always make my day, they are so natural together be it in comedic or romantic scenes! I liked the show, and I especially loved the characters - special kudos to Ryu because he really made huge steps forward acting-wise and his pairing with Mond is really working well!

Oh, and also: how can Dew be so damn goodlooking, I get distracted at every scene!

Ok so, for me: Thun is the mastermind behind the killings, he's not the actual killer but he instigated others to kill corrupted people (and he will keep doing it, since in the preview we see that something will still happen although they jailed someone) so that he can have the scoops AND avenge something that is connected with Phat/Praew father and Kay's family.

OMG thanks for this! I didn't know he draws too, he's such a talented young man! And the bags are gorgeous too, I want to buy all of them!!

"More beautiful than this and it's Win Metawin" and I dropped dead XD
I LOVE the quotes and humour of this series, makes me want to live with these two as my best friends in life everyday, they would make it so much fun! XD

Unexpectedly the character and actor I'm more surprised with is Ryu - his dynamics with Mond are so nice to see, they are at times cute and hot too, they really complement each other so well!

PS.: I keep loving how they're tackling the toxic fans aspect, that sister is giving them such a rough time and yet there are so many fans out there who are really acting like that, it's so sad and absurd at the same time.

"Yes, I'm back" and I just melt at that hug. They are such a strong couple, both as actors and as characters!

if you're on a BL slump and want to try something else too, try "The Edge of Horizon" - it's a thai BL lakorn style set in the 30's with a new ship (Ongsa/Inn)... it's such a positive surprise!

Agreed! It was such a powerful scene, Ongsa nailed it so well: Thin really felt like someone who's completely torn inside and tries to fight and stand tall, but the feelings are so overwhelming he just can't! I cried with him, his pain was so real!

Ok let's be honest: I basically cried THE WHOLE episode and I'm not sure if it was because of second-hand happiness watching them being lovey-dovey, or because of the fact that after so much happiness tragedy will come... and we know it!

These two are my new favourite Thai fictional couple: acting wise they complement each other so well (Ongsa ROCKS!!! I find myself crying without a reason whenever he cries T_T), plus the two characters are so consistent and well-built up to now! Also, their dynamics are so natural: there are tons of clichèes in their relationship and dialogues, but somehow they make it look like it's so real and vivid!

I'm not ready to see the tragedy unfold...

I will miss this so much when it finishes!

It's 4am where I live, I just finished a 17-hours shift and I'm dead tired BUT I STILL HAD TO FINISH watching this: such an entertaining drama, great cast and very nice idea, plus amazing chemistry! Loved the bickering and the ups&downs of the two MLs relationship, but I especially loved to see how our unfathomable Mr. Ju became such a cutie under Chaeha's spell! <3

I would have loved a bit more depth story-wise but given the format it was a very good drama, every episode kept me interested and wanting more!
