So long as Tong Thanayut still plays in the support cast, I won't fuss about recasting. LOL.

Holy Crap! I'm cheering for you on that thesis! Good luck!

And I am intrigued to know KinnPorsche will be on IQIYI. Dayum. I've been waiting on that one forever. I think we all have.

I'm in too deep not to keep up. But man, IQIYI has not made it easy. If I didn't watch so much other stuff on IQIYI I'd cancel my subscription. As it is, I had already planned to get a Star Hunter YouTube subscription for when the show was done, just so I could see if the versions they had were different in any way... like a director's cut or something.

But I think I'll get a subscription to SH now so I can track down that missing special episode. IQIYI has it, but I haven't been able to suss out a link to it yet.

I agree he needs to find that happiness. And I think he'll do it as he manages to wrap his head around the Pha situation. There was so much shock involved in all that. This season he's had a lot to cope with. It was bad enough he had to sort through his feelings about Phai and Thanu's intersection. But Pha showing up and then finding out he was very sick? And finding out Saendee was plotting against him? So much stress from so many directions. I think Wayu has needed time to just take it all in, sort it out and try to find his feet again--which keep getting swept out from under him by all the surprises.

I hope things start to be a bit easier for Wayu. LOL He needs to take a few days away from the chaos.

That's super insightful. I would agree. Because he's obviously attracted. The moment she walks up to him with the script he just perks up!

Awwwww....

You know, I never realized Alice was Kalae's senior. I feel super stupid. Because you're right. She's one year older.

Bas IS amazing. And there's nothing wrong with Wayu crying both seasons. All the major characters have cried periodically since season one. Wayu just more than others. But then Wayu has had a lot more to deal with.

But even if his emotional load was lesser there's nothing wrong with crying. Society can suck it over the idea that men can't cry as often as they are moved to do so.

Excellent! It's been an enjoyable program for a lot of people. Heck, episode 7 was at the very top of Thailand's viewership count and trending polls. And the show overall has held steady in the top 10 the whole season, even when it wasn't in the #1 place.

Totally worth returning to.

Naw, tears don't use up that much moisture. Plus every time Bas needs to cry in a scene they can just hand him one of their sponsor's vita drinks.

Seriously though, I have always been amazed with Bas' ability to tie into a scene's emotions. Crying in front of a camera is not easy and not every actor is skilled enough to pull it off. Kimmon, for instance.

It's sexy AND it's kind to both Mark and Tong.

Oddly enough, I think he is suffering.

My one desire for Mark and Kit in terms of the writing of the show, is that I would like there to be an actual, concrete reason Kit did this. Like a mental breakdown in progress from the stress of trying to save his best friend. Or SOMETHING.

I need it not to be just because KIT is having weird, borderline abusive hangups about how Mark reacted to the scholarship offer. If they handle it like that then yeah, Imma have to just say no to Kit and yes to Tong!

I popped in a suggestion to that effect in my episode review. I think a lot of people are coming to this conclusion. That the two of them might be better together than what they're struggling to hold on to.

It will never happen. But... What if it totally did?

I hope for more Saendee because I'm trying to figure him out still. He's too calculating to roll over. But man, the 5 seconds we got of him he was so weird!

And I think Wayu does still love Pha very, very much. But you're right, it's not romantic love anymore. But I think it's still very deep love.

Sometimes some of the stuff in the show hits people two completely different ways and I am wracking my brain trying to understand both sides of this. I'll be an asshole over Wayu, because there's no reason for the vitriol there. Dislike him, fine. But the nasty comments some people leave are way out of line. But i really want not to be an asshole about this. Because some of the people who have criticized Tong's choice have tried to be pretty even tempered about it. And I would like to see it from their side. But I just don't understand why people think Tong did something wrong.

I'm not saying I blame Pok for being pissed. I mean he's out another competition and man that totally sucks for him. Considering how hard he worked to get on the team his heart must be broken.

But I wish Pok wasn't going "angry first think later". I feel like it was a really low, low blow to blame Tong and to be so mean-spirited about it. Like knee capping levels of cruel. And knowing Pok, he's gonna feel like shit about it later. Especially if what I'm worried about comes to pass.

Little sexy bro Tong turned the bullies in and the bullies know it. And if they fucked Pok up just for making them look bad what are they gonna do to Tong for turning them in?

And Tong's not in a place where he may feel like spending time in people's company. He's been pretty isolated of late, it seems. So I worry they're going to come for a beat down and he's going to be alone when it happens.

Yes it was very long. LOL. I get going and I can't shut up. It took me a bit to get a feel for what to say about this episode but a re-watch kind of helped and suddenly I had too much to say.

But honey, no one is funnier than Sab. Thank you for the compliment, though.

I am talking about Pha on Discord right now with a friend. And we're bouncing around some opinions. Maybe you should make a post about why you think he's no good. You have me curious.

You did great! And I change my take on stuff all the time. I'm desperately inconsistent because my shortterm reaction is way different than my longterm conclusion.

I really liked your thoughts on this! I didn't agree with quite everything but you expressed a lot of sentiments I connected with.

Oh, Phai is well on his way to being his apologist. You may really like where that goes.

Seriously! That whole measuring tape thing was the absolute hottest. I love slow burn stories but man they have definitely sped up the pace on this hot couple!

Kit's destructive bent at the moment doesn't resemble a single moment Wayu has had with either Pha or Thanu in either season. Wayu's never done nothing senselessly. His grief made sense. His confusion made sense. His reticence made sense.

As for Wayu and Thanu in this episode, they have all the chemistry in the world. That set was damn near on fire! But if you don't ship them absolutely no one is going to care.
