I'm torn - this was a phantastic episode acting-wise and I lovelovelove TamPhi dynamics... BUT I had a moment of "don't make it so simple" when Jamie's character told Tam "you made Phi like this when you disappeared" - somehow that scene felt so "scripted", I really wish they had found a different way to make Tam realize how/when/why Phi changed (although I'm pretty sure he knew and realized already, and guilt was also probably among the reasons he decided to come back).
Anyway - another great episode: Nudee is such a cute character, and Aou can act as the most b!tchy character ever yet he still looks great to me. XD
Oh, my... so many series these days, I totally forgot this one was airing too! Well well, time to start bingewatching to make up for the missed episodes... XD
Oh my, what an unexpected hidden gem this show was, I'm so happy I discovered it! I bingwatched it because I couldn't stop, every episode was just the right lenght but always leaving me wanting for more.
Great acting from the boys, somehow it felt like a theatrical dance at the beginning, and then kept flowing into a very natural chemistry episode after episode. When they were close, the magnetic force and the sparkles were palpable!
Kudos to the crew, they put so much heart and soul and effort into it!
I can't imagine a Pond/Gun ship BUT in last weeks I'm dreaming about a Dew/Gun ship (or rather, as a Babii, I'm…
Ahahaha that nightmare had me scared so much! XD I woke up and I was like: WTF??
But yeah, through the years I've seen so many ships ending, or idol groups disbanding... you never know when it might happen again! And since some of my most loved ones are not that young anymore (OffGun and TayNew, for example), I guess soon they'll start focusing on real life and leave the BL panorama. (maybe they'll keep acting in their ships, but since BL fandom is so toxic, I'm afraid that "personal life + BL work" might be hard to combine...)
But as of now, that was just my nightmare, no worries! XD
Acting is getting better and better. Gun/Pond medication scene was heartwrenching, Dew's evil laughs were eerily crazy and everyone rocked their roles - if all GMMTV's shows out there had only half of the acting of this one, we'd have masterpieces after masterpieces!!
Okay hear me out...Pond/Gun bl maybe? Their acting skills have really come out in this together. Gun is an amazing…
I can't imagine a Pond/Gun ship BUT in last weeks I'm dreaming about a Dew/Gun ship (or rather, as a Babii, I'm having nightmares about it... I had a dream in which Off left the BL world because he got engaged to Kapook and GMMTV knew it already so they prepared the road ahead with "leap day" and "burning syndrome"... yes, I know, I've got some problems XD)
Ooopsie, I almost forgot this was coming out this week but seeing that ep1 was out was such a great surprise! <3
I had no doubts on Pond and Peterpan in terms of acting and good looks... ahem, charisma! (although I always ask myself, what do some hairdressers think when working on some hairstyles...)
Almost all other actors, though, felt a bit cringe especially in dramatic scenes. But the atmosphere as a whole was very intriguing and enthralling, so can't wait for next episodes!
I am so very mad they DIDN'T just buy the license for (ETA: Chinese danmei) Rebirth of a Movie Star directly.…
Yeeeees Pond with that haircut looks great! But to be honest, I think almost every japanese/thai actor looks great with that half ponytail... whereas if I wear it I kinda look like the worst nerd ever XD
Oh, what an age gap! I'm happy to see mature actors in a BL series, hopefully the plot remembers that and the character Boy portrays will act accordingly...
Also, the story looks interesting: I'll stay tuned and... fingers crossed!
Uhm - as I said last week, for as much as I'm liking this, it really feels "disconnected" and it's nearing a cringe-danger zone... I think the things I loved most in this episode were the costumes AND Zee/Charan AND Net&JJ characters which I hope we'll get to see more and more.
Question: isn't a "tradition" something important and heartfelt? I was expecting this crowning contest to be something pretty old but it's just the fifth one. Plus, they talked about it from ep1 as something fundamental, but then in two episodes they basically changed every aspect of it... who knows, maybe in next episodes they'll even decide that a prince with no heirs can freely adopt someone to take part in the competition too...
Sidenote - I couldn't stand Khanin this episode. I get it: he likes Charan, he wants to be near him, but he's not a 5yo throwing tantrums over a candy...
PS.: am I the only one who got terrible "Oh my sunshine night" flashbacks while watching the red apple? Maybe it's the fencing, or the plastic plants everywhere, but this drama gives me those same vibes...
Second episode was slightly less impactful than the first one and had some technical issues (why, oh why, can't these thai dramas solve audio problems in a decent way???), BUT I'm loving our boys and their dynamics! Plus, the music is right on point AND the flashbacks fit perfectly both to the storytelling and to the character's backstory and development, I'm really loving the direction up to now!
Sidenote - Singto is so beautiful, how can you not love his cute face and puppy eyes...!
I'm the only one relating the ghost histories with Peaceful property?? the dancing ghost (Book and Force story)…
Same! When they talked about the ghost dancer I was def expecting a male dancer AND when they jumped to the construction site shadow I was like, "HomePeach where are youuuuu"
I made this! A mutual on Tumblr translated some of those older interviews recently for a gifset and I realized…
Thank you for this video! So many people don't know what these two boys had to hear, face, and go through... they are iconic because after all, they managed to always be positive and grow, grow, grow! Love them!

"Paint with Love" it's nice but... it could have really been a great series but has too many plot issues and storytelling problems, unfortunately. :(
I loved his songs with Tae for "Paint with Love" a couple of years ago! https://youtu.be/x_D4K-nG0TY?si=85_dcj4ESc7Hv1p1
And I still cry when thinking about "He's Coming to Me"
