I can't forget that Pat didn't wash his hands before Chot dragged him out of the bathroom.

As I expected after watching the final ep and despite all the negative comments, I enjoyed this from start to finish. The final episode was enjoyable. They showed that Pat was still quite immature, which was good because people don't really change that easily, and Chot even called him out on it when he claimed to supposedly have more control over his emotions. And then later when Pat and Jeng talk in the restaurant kitchen (I enjoyed this scene), Pat admits these things and Jeng also admits his fears and shortcomings. It was good to watch a scene like that.

Somethings were a bit rushed, like Pat meeting Jeng's mother, but it wasn't an important scene imo. Same with leaving some ends loose, like Jeng's dad letting him resign too easily, but it didn't feel like it mattered much since Jeng has a whole other job and form of income, and can probably work anywhere else he wants. Personally, I didn't mind that they didn't show anymore Jaab and Jen, that was right up my alley since I was not interested in them as a pair at all.

The only major drawback is the length of the time lapse. Two years was excessive, it honestly should have been like four months or something. I get that the time lapse was meant to show Pat was able to be successful on his own, but it was overkill. They could have achieved the same result with a much shorter lapse, removing the two years of winning awards, they could have made Pat's first major project be Forge and he wins it over Jian Group's team, I think that would have had the same impact. Two years is too much because it's hard to believe Jeng would still be interested after so long, but that's what the writer's think makes a good story, someone being so in love they don't move on even after so long. It's a weak trope. Jeng more realistically would have moved on, possibly even Pat too.

But that was really the only thing I thought was a bad decision in this show. Otherwise, I liked it. I'd watch a sequel, but I dread a continuation of Jaab and Jen, but I'd still watch it.

Ep 2 though, when Ashi started laughing like a low key mad scientist and then turned to laugh at the camera too. I almost choked on my coffee it was so random. 😂

The one with the eyebrow scratch. I think it's HJoon? The Youtuber.
And I can't say I've paid much attention to MS, I just think HJ seems to actually like him on a realistic level, where he'd make the effort if MS gave him a sign he was interested, you know? Playing hard to get, imo, is self defeating and immature. But that's just my opinion.

Just watched this and I gotta say, I like the way the actor who plays Joke talks. I don't think it's an accent, but more like he's talking naturally, maybe a little fast, not over enunciating or something. Maybe this doesn't fly with everyone, but I prefer it.

I see the comments talking about disliking the actor playing Zo, but just like a lot of other new BL shows, I don't know these mofo's at all 🤣 so I'ma just say, I don't find Zo annoying or particularly lacking in acting so far. He seems to be of the 'nerd' variety, a bit awkward (with oddly tinted 1970's drug dealer-esque spectacles), and then I didn't recognize him in the flashbacks, because he looked like a generic sort with the hair parted at his forehead, I had to skip back to see who Joke was talking to because I got confused.

As for Joke, overall good so far. Although the way he crowded Zo in the first scene was overly familiar, but then later they showed the flashbacks that show they do know each other and have some kind of prior issue, so the lack of boundaries seemed less 'wtf, you don't even know this dude'. Can't say much else stood out, the story line doesn't seem set to blow my mind with originality, but that's fine, as long as the acting and flow are good, it's like watching any love story or rom-com, it's gonna' be tropish and typical, but it doesn't have to be in a bad way.

Oh yeah I get it, I don't know the actor at all though, so I have no idea what to expect. It it's all a part of the role then it's all good :D

I find it realistically entertaining how casual everyone is about the infidelity, gold digging and drunk sex. In the show, and even the commenters here are chill about it. If this were a Thai or SK BL, I feel like the comments would be an endless train wreck of complaints and extended disgruntled opinions. Then again, maybe this mini series just isn't that watched.
Either way, it's entertaining. Louise's valley-girl accent and behavior makes her appropriately dislikable. Shao is obviously a bottom and even on whatever budget they had, the acting passes muster and the chemistry and dialogue isn't stilted or awkward among the cast. I'll probably watch this to the end.

No, so it's actually okay so far. I like the humorous side, although I think Ashi (either as a character or actor) seems a bit expressionless, but it's only the first ep. It was a good enough start. Even the unexpected sex scene was well done, although I'll admit I was more distracted by the giant window looking into the bathroom because actually wtf. Is that a thing in some hotels? 😂

It is pretty weak to still be pushing the misunderstandings in the second to last episode. Truth, I skipped the entire wedding in large chunks, hit the credits and closed the window.

Cool story, bro, but all I was saying is JS is simping.

The second paragraph of your comment, especially this: SH doesn't want to be responsible for JS having an emotional collapse over not prevailing 👌
I couldn't figure out how to word this myself without inciting the JS keyboard warriors into a frenzy, so I just called him sulky, it was the nicest way I could think to put it, but you nailed it.

Hmmmmmm...? I don't recall saying YH should continue to pursue SW, I said that I'm supporting YH, and as a secondary I like SW, I didn't say they should be together, I didn't say anything in relation to them coupling off actually. So, yeah, no, I dunno where you got that from. In fact, I posted in my other comment on here that I totally understand if SW is uncomfortable dating someone so much younger than him, despite the fact that I like YH the most, I get that SW may not be okay with that great of an age difference. I also said in my other comment that I appreciate YH's maturity and the fact that he doesn't simp after SW, he likes him, sure, but he's not following him around like a lost sulking puppy. Additionally, YH hasn't even managed to get friend zoned, he isn't even that friendly with SW, they're barely acquaintances at this point.

You shouldn't project your angst over JS originally being friend zoned by SH.

Did they upload 10 and 11 together, how'd I miss two eps? Anyway, I've only watched ep 10 so far, ngl, I'm on Patts' side, to me Tai just seems to be stalling to answer and I don't blame Patts for getting upset. Never been a fan of a ML simping for the other ML who is undeserving of said simpage. This main pairing doesn't interest me but yeah, I don't think Patts is in the wrong.

I would assume it is discussed, but it's not a western show, so I think they won't air it because it may be considered too gay-candid. S02 is bolder than S01 though, so maybe in S03 they'll include more open discussions.

versatile

Yes, to each their own. People find different things acceptable, interesting or attractive. Although I'd say JS's self explained negative dating experiences heavily implies the opposite of him being a good people reader. I don't think SH is any exception. As the expression made famous by the movie goes, 'He's just not that into you.' I think it can be applied to this scenario so far.

Well, as I said before, it doesn't matter to me, I'm supporting YH the most, and SW as a secondary. If SH and JS get together that's whatever. But even the way you put it in your comment reinforces what I said, that JS was clearly friend zoned and then SH apparently, according to commenters who claim to know the outcome, he goes on to lead him on. I don't personally like JS's personality, I don't think he's boring, but I do think he's too sulky. Either way, SH choosing him because there are no other options is pretty tacky.

Well if this is true, this is good news to me. Still feel bad for JS, settling for being second choice is a harsh thing.

Yeah, I can see how the age gap could be a problem too. I also personally can't go for more than two or three years younger than myself, but I'm not against anyone else who wants to date someone younger, so long as everyone involved is legal. But I really appreciated that YH, because he is mature, even acknowledged the age thing to SW. At this point, if he backs off it's for his own good, and I can understand if SW doesn't want to date someone so much younger than him, although if he gave YH a chance I'd be happy too :D

And yeah, he's pretty careful and quiet and I keep thinking 'YH, just do it man, make a move', but I also can't help appreciate that he's aware of maintaining his dignity and he's reserved and doesn't force himself to get anyone's attention.

Me to Kawi (about to drunk kiss Pisaeng again): EMMANUEL DON'T, EMMANUEL DON'T DO IT!
