Gaia

Ahahaha, thanks for the confidence boost! XD
Just kidding obviously, but she definitely aged very very well, at least in the pictures I've seen here on MDL. :)

Yes! I thought the same! I wish I could age like her.... I'm almost 40 and I probably would look like a way better grandma than her! XDDDDDDDD

Such a sad but real story - all the shades of humanity: love, passion, greed, desperation, egoism, revenge... two hours of great cinema: all the actors were amazing but Jeff, as always, shines with his charisma and intensity.

Must watch.
(Plus, Keng is one hot gardener, oh boy!)

I totally agree with you!
Kamfah is coming out as a very abusive, strict, violent and dictatorial father BUT this drama is set in the 1960s and almost every family was a patriarchy in which everything was decided by the dad... plus we're talking nobility here, so there are titles, money and lands involved! If our little bunny doesn't marry and have a son, the family lineage will just end there and that would be a shame for a Prince like Kamfah.
His actions are totally in line with what was the time - I think the only thing in which the drama slightly fails is the depiction of the social surroundings (daily life in 1960s), and that might be why many people feel like this dad is "cruel out of nowhere".

It reminds me a lot of Thian's mother in "To Sir, With Love" - she knows her son is gay and she tries to keep it a secret because she wants to protect him, since she has seen already what being gay in a court means.

(mind me, I also root for our boys and I hope this dad gets what he deserves, but I feel like he's a much more realistic character than, for example, the servants).

For as much as I love many fixed ships, excessive fanservice is always toxic.

An actor is an actor: he plays a role INSIDE a movie/drama/script or whatsoever, not outside... and, an actor is also a person: there are many people who do not like skinship (for example, I am extremely uncomfortable with it even inside close relationship -with my son, my family, my close friends-).

I'm really appreciating Pearl's acting and his portrayal of Sasin but I would never expect him (or any other actor) to "feed BL fans". ^^

XD

You know what, I thought she was "acting old" so bad that I checked the actress age... and she's actually 70yo! So how come she looks like a 20yo impersonating a grandma? XD

Perfect! I actually had planned to watch Blood of Youth sooner or later, given the high ratings, but I'm not really sure I can make it now... so I'll just save it for when I have more time.

Since this will air in about two weeks AND I CAN'T WAIT ----- but since we have to wait: are the two dramas from the shared universe required watch to better understand the plot? I'm not sure I can bingewatch both in two weeks, but, who knows.... XD

Yacht! <3

Same! I think only Khemjira has me so hooked! <3

Somehow this wait reminds me of when I started watching dramas twenty years ago and subtitles were almost a luxury item for just a few series... lol, yes I'm old! XD

Awwww such a cute series! Sea's acting is getting better, while Keen once again confirms his skill... this boy is definitely multitalented and I hope they can both keep working together to get better and better!

Storywise this was a mix of 23.5 and Bad Buddy, BUT shorter and perfectly balanced between fun and emotion. I loved how they captured the growth of ErrMawin relationship and also all the surrounding friends dynamics. Loved it!

(Am I the only one checking every thirty minutes if the subtitles are up? Can't waaaaaaaaaait!!)

I wasn't expecting to like this as I actually do - it's nothing revolutionary, and honestly the dialogues are often pretty flat, BUT all the characters are interesting and their dynamics are very promising! Also, I loved how straightforward Lava was in saying he doesn't like women.

Sidenote - Mond is such an amazing actor, he can pull off any role and in this one he looks so mature...!

I kept wondering where had I seen the evil brother, and I finally realized he's the brother of Film in "To Sir with Love"... just, in that series he's a million-times better brother than here! XD

PS - this episode had some direction issues BUT our boys are as wonderful and charismatic as ever!
PPS - c'mon Ou looked so much better in all-black instead than dressed like a waiter...!

Ramphueng is the living (...ghostly...?) proof that, for as much pain you can suffer, vengeance is NEVER the solution - her rage and desperation, although understandable and relatable (as a woman I was hurting so bad for her story), have caused a chain of devastation, suffering and misery that will stop only with forgiveness. No guilt should ever be passed on to children and grandchildren.

This drama is so so SO beautiful, it brings so many threads together and every character has a role in this tapestry! Plus the actors and cinematography are really top tier... I loved how this episode didn't have useless sweet fanservice moments, it was true to itself from start to finish!

Thanks for all the updates! I'm so excited for this series, I know it's going to rock!

Group 2 is the craziest gang ever XD

Myyy PRECIOUSSS-----

I had quite some busy weeks so I felt I just couldn't watch ep7&8, because i KNEW they needed silence, time, dedication.
Finally, tonight was the night and I took the chance to finish this series. I was expecting to cry million of tears, instead everything felt like an already antipated stab into my heart, that clicked and fit perfectly with how fragmented, shitty, and devastating life really is.

I loved this series - with a strange kind of love: not the enthusiastic anticipation that a fluffy BL (I'm thinking Magic Prophecy) gives, nor with the adrenalinic excitement that action series have (yes Khemjira I'm talking about you)... still, with a love made out of all the small details, all the care and passion put into the acting, the plot, the cinematography... the meaningful scenes and quotes and dialogues and struggles of every character.

This really felt like reading an enthralling novel, more than watching a drama.
10/10 for me.

And, sidenote - all gods be thanked for the beauty of Apo, and the amazing performance of Euro & Son.

Grandma looks like she came straight out of Sylvester & Tweety, BUT WITHOUT all the fun.


...I'm loving this series and the cliffhangers at the end of the episodes are killing me, but CH31 should work a bit more on the soundtracks... sometimes it feels we're watching an horror series, right after we're inside a tango lesson and five seconds later we're having adrenalinic music like there is no tomorrow. ^^'
