I needed there to be a camera, two hitmen not having any cameras in their home was irritating me. Glad there was a camera in that room at least. Mixed feelings, but more positive than negative so still keen.
Have you considered that it's all a ploy on Fadel's part? The sudden confession seems way to sus. Especially since…
I agree, that Fadel's look at the end of that scene can give us hope. For me, as someone who doesn't really care whether they end up together/fall in love or go their separate ways in the end (considering the storyline here happily ever afters would be far fetched, despite being likely it'll all work out since it's a BL) I would really like to see Fadel not be so easily trapped and manipulated since it's ooc according to how the character seems to have been written. Same for Bison, I'm looking forward to when he finally finds out what Kant is doing and we can see that more dangerous side of him that keeps peeking out. This show has so much potential to not follow the standard BL formula too much.
I think some new Thai subs have been released on VIPA after episode 3, if people want to watch I'd suggest they use the tip from tef, who posted further down the page:
tef suggested:
If you don't want to wait for eng subtitles (if it does get subtitled), if you watch it on VIPA through google chrome, you can select the thai CC subtitles, and use google chrome auto translate on the thai subtitles (3 dot menu on top right of chrome window go down to Translate...) . I've watched a few series in this way and it's worked pretty well.

I had considered that actually, because I thought Fadel was hella ooc with how he suddenly 'confessed' feelings and let his guard down, but unless Fadel somehow knows now that Style knows he's a contract killer, it won't make sense for why he flipped the script on his 'feelings'. OR, the other possibility is he's planning to find out what Style and Kant are up to by 'getting closer'. I hope it's the latter, because the whole scene of him suddenly being all soft saying 'I miss you' felt like a bogus turn in the character of Fadel.
Oh deary Style, how the turn tables 😂 I'll be real, the abrupt dynamic shift for Fadel and Style officially getting together was shit, it was hella ooc for the character THEY wrote Fadel as. It made zero sense, felt inorganic af, out of left field, it needed more time and more development to get to Fadel making that choice imo. I mean, Style has still been all but begging to get beaten up left and right with his douchebag, he doesn't yet deserved to be getting loved up. So personally, it let me down, BUT then I was at least hella amused by Style crapping himself after finding out what he'd gotten himself into 😂😂😂 I hope they left him keep stressing for a while still, he deserves it for being such a borderline sociopathic dumbass.
And I can't be the only one calling Kant as /cunt/ right? LOL I mean, the Thai accent drops the /t/ and they be pronouncing it as Kun...so Kun-T. Rather fitting, considering what he's up to.
Ps: I like Fadel and Bison's brotherly relationship, it's a W.
EP1: I came here for Zhiguang and Meng Zi Yi, but hell if this first episode wasn't damn engaging and interesting. I think I'm gonna' enjoy this show, no excess CGI, good acting, clear storytelling, layered plot and even the ML (who I didn't know before) is likeable. Yep. Keen to keep watching.
Good episode. Real talk, most of these kids are better actors than the ones doing main stream BLs rn. 😂 They talk and interact more naturally when acting.
Hey, may i ask why some of them have black teeth and some not? some of them couldn't brush their teeth in that…
In ancient times in parts of Asia, some people (rich and poor) chewed something called betel nut because it was believed that black teeth made them more attractive. (of course, it was bad for their health in the long run. Like how they used to do foot binding for women in ancient China as a 'beauty standard', or how women in old France wore makeup on their faces even though it contained lead and made them sick).
I don't get it. Did I miss something or why does Ruan not already know all the doors he's revisiting with Ling…
The drama adapted a video game formula (whereas in the original novel, there is no game, it's a real alternative world). I'm not sure if you play video games, but for non-game players, it may not be familiar so I'll try and explain.
So, because of the game theme of the show, the doors are based on something similar to RPG 'outcome' game theory. This is a basic explanation from wiki: [In game theory, the outcome of a game is the ultimate result of a strategic interaction with one or more people, dependent on the choices made by all participants in a certain exchange. It represents the final payoff resulting from a set of actions that individuals can take within the context of the game. Outcomes are pivotal in determining the payoffs and expected utility for parties involved.
Each player’s strategy is based on their expectation of what the other players are likely to do, often explained in terms of probability. Outcomes are dependent on the combination of strategies chosen by involved players and can be represented in a number of ways; one common way is a payoff matrix showing the individual payoffs for each players with a combination of strategies.]
So basically, the actions of every person playing can change the events in the doors, so every/any door each person goes into (between one and twelve) will be at a different level (according to their own level in the game) and the events that take place will differ. Every time Lanzhu goes into a door, things may be different or more difficult because of the game's 4 levels of difficulty and also what other players do or don't do.
There's more to it, which also makes the doors (as a video game make sense), but for non game-players, it might be confusing. Hope this helps.
