Okay Namo is sus i think he is in love with thua đź‘€
I also had that thought in the back of my mind.The way Namo acts indeed makes me feel like he might like Thua. The only thing that disproves this theory is that he told Thua about Khan's defending him from the homophobic eleventh graders. If Namo is in love with Thua, why would he want another guy to look like a hero in Thua's eyes?
can someone just put me in a coma until Friday/Saturday so I don't have to wait for this and Vice Versa? please
For real. How is it only Monday? I am so obsessed with this series that I have to rewatch it every day or I will not survive the wait. I feel like I will know episode five by heart soon.
More about the symbolism of the eclipse in general:
The Sun is related to what is ideal, fixed, relatively permanent, and unchanging. Materially, we say the Sun is related to power, to kings and queens, to powerful or famous people, to rulership and governance, to great knowledge or mastery, and so forth.
So when the Moon or when darkness eclipses the light of the Sun, we tend to get any of the following general meanings:
- Something must end, or be lost, in order for a new beginning to take shape.
- Leaders, kings, rulers, and powerful people are eclipsed, removed, empowered and disempowered, etc. Dynasties change.
- Oaths, promises, or commitments to something higher are kept and/or discarded, made or broken, completed or abandoned.
- Our vision changes. We stop looking at something and start seeing something. We move to a deeper understanding of something invisible that lies beneath the superficial appearance.
Here is some interesting information about what the eclipse symbolizes in Thailand:
According to certain Thai-animist beliefs, an eclipse takes place when the angry and black God Rahu tries to swallow the sun. The only way to prevent disaster is to scare Rahu away or placate him with offerings. When an eclipse hits, some people will commence clashing gongs and exploding firecrackers to frighten him while other devotees invite dancers to perform in front of his statue.
Some Thai people believe that bad luck always comes with an eclipse, so major changes and big losses are inevitable ... .
Belief in the super natural, spirits, gods and demons lay shoulder to shoulder with the majority of Thai’s beliefs in Buddhism and reaches into their very core values and there are many instances when government departments will look to mystical methods to sort their internal problems.
In 1997 when the Kingdom found itself in an economical crisis, the wife of the then Thai Prime Minister, Chavalit Yongchaiyudh, announced her intention to make an offering to the god Rahu in the belief that it would preserve the life of her husband’s government. History has proven her endeavors were in vain.
Cause many are secretly breaking the law...thus not all think it's a good one even if they aren't protesting.…
@YouPulledMeIn is right. Akk's goodie two shoes facade hides a not that good and well-behaved person. He tried to steal from Ayan several times. He showed him the finger. He demonstrated stalking behavior. He attempted to set the protesters' things on fire, which, even if he is not involved in any of the other incidents, does not cast him in a positive light either. Someone who is actually a goodie two shoes will not act like him. Thua is also not a genuine rule follower. As he told Ayan, he has decided to just bear with the rules until graduation. This does not mean that he will not defy them when no one is looking.
We don't know exactly what he actually wrote. I'd think it was more random thoughts than a detailed plan.
I also noticed that he did not seem worried about the notebook afterwards. However, he was really mad in the locker room, when he realized that it is gone. This is why I thought it weird that he was so calm later.
The first explanation is yours – that it is important to him just because it was Dika's and not because there is something damning in it. However, the summary of this series says: "His only evidence leading him to Suppalo School is in his uncle's old notebook." If the summary is correct, the notebook at least contains information related to Dika's death. Ayan has not told anyone that his uncle died. It does not seem like he wants the students to know.
The second explanation that comes to mind is that he is pretending to not care about the notebook. He is not someone who wears all his emotions on his sleeve, so this is possible.
The third explanation that I just came up with has not been discussed in this comment section. What if Ayan staged the stealing of the notebook? This might not make sense at first, but after rewatching episode five, it started making sense to me. Let me explain:
He does not look concerned about the notebook later on and is not actively looking for it. This is not the behavior of someone who lost something precious to him. However, he makes a whole scene about it in the locker room, making it known to everyone that the notebook is important to him and that it is gone. Furthermore, he later acknowledges that he knew Akk did not steal his notebook. However, he still made a scene by accusing Akk of stealing it in front of everyone. It is like he did it on purpose.
If it is really so, the fact that the hand of the person who stole the notebook looked like Thua's will make sense – he stole the notebook because Ayan asked him to. This kind of leads back to the scene in which Akk and Khan were jealous of Thua and Ayan's speaking. We still do not know what Ayan told Thua that made Thua warn him that he should not tell it to anyone else in the school. They have been helping each other since then. It must have been something important.
It is true that Ayan might want to gauge reactions. However, I am still not sure if he wants to be recognized. I cannot think of an explanation for his running away from Akk in the first episode. Did he run because he saw something related to the car incident? In this case, running away from Akk makes sense only if Ayan had somehow realized that Akk is involved in the incident, which we do not know for sure.
My only other explanation is that when he saw that Akk is staring at him wide-eyed, he thought that Akk had somehow recognized him. He started running away so that Akk would not get a better look at his face and blow his cover.
If my second explanation is the correct one, then Ayan does not want to be recognized, so it does not make sense for him to carry around items that someone can link to Dika.
This is, of course, just my theory. I might be wrong.
I am rewatching episode one, and I noticed an interesting detail in the car scene.
When the protesters are protesting, we see that while Akk and two other prefects are running toward them, there is already a crowd of students gathered outside. Akk arrives just when the car is already close to the protesters and he immediately yells: “Look out!” Then everyone else stars yelling. If Akk arrived last, how come he was the first and only one to notice the car? Is he really the only observant person in the whole school? I doubt it. Let's assume that everyone was too focused on the protesters to notice it. Then why did Akk, who arrived to see what is going on with the protest and stop it, know to immediately see the car, not the protesters, and yell at them to l watch out? Suspicious.
Furthermore, when the focus turns on Ayan, he is looking in the direction from which the car came. There is an accident happening, students are screaming, and he found something more eye-catching to look at in the other direction. He must have seen something really important there, such as what actually happened with the car. If it is so, then this explains his facial expression when he turns his head. @Pincolino and I talked about why he looked like a gangster in that scene. Now I think that his expression might have actually been angry.
It is not among the cheapest in BL, and I personally did not even pay attention to the quality of the production. The well-written storyline and brilliant acting more than make up for it.
We don't know exactly what he actually wrote. I'd think it was more random thoughts than a detailed plan.
Ayan is somehow both levelheaded and not. On one hand, he acts reasonably most of the time. On the other hand, he is hyperfixated on his reveng and forgets to consider important things. For instance, he wears his pendant for everyone to see. Dika also wore this pendant. Ayan did not consider that someone might recognize it. I think that Chadok recognized it. Similarly, why does he carry the notebook around? He could have mad notes in an oridnary notebook.
We don't know exactly what he actually wrote. I'd think it was more random thoughts than a detailed plan.
You know, this actually has a lot of potential. Imagine if the student who stole the notebook indeed decides to avenge Dika – alone or together with Ayan. This can be so much chaotic fun – especially if he decides to improve Ayan's plan and act alone, as you said. Then Ayan will have to figure out who is doing the same things that he is trying to do, hahah. I remember that one of my first comments in this comment section was about the dangers of plotting revenge. Revenge is personal, so it can easily go awry. I was concerned that Ayan's plan would backfire. Maybe this is when it starts to backfire.
I just thought that we have been so focused on trying to figure out who stole the notebook that we kind of forgot the elephant in the room: someone out there has Ayan's notebook. That person knows not only what happened to Dika, but also what Ayan is planning because Ayan wrote down his thoughts about the school in it. This screams danger for Ayan.
There was a discussion about Akk's line "Why does it have to be you?" meant. Several people said that it means that he has accepted his crush and is regretting that he likes Ayan out of all people. I think that I have a different interpretation: He might have also meant: "Why do you have to be the rebel?" in the sense that he is worried that Ayan will be harmed by the "curse". In case that Akk is indeed behind the curse, he might have also meant: "Why does it have to be you whom I will be harming?" It might be all three of those interpretations at once.
Hmm interesting. I love reading how other people interpret things because I'm not very observant, especially when…
It is the other way round for me, hahah. When I have to wait for the next episode to be released, I have the time to process the episodes that I have seen. :)

You have a point, and I agree that the stealing's being staged makes the most sense.
The Sun is related to what is ideal, fixed, relatively permanent, and unchanging. Materially, we say the Sun is related to power, to kings and queens, to powerful or famous people, to rulership and governance, to great knowledge or mastery, and so forth.
So when the Moon or when darkness eclipses the light of the Sun, we tend to get any of the following general meanings:
- Something must end, or be lost, in order for a new beginning to take shape.
- Leaders, kings, rulers, and powerful people are eclipsed, removed, empowered and disempowered, etc. Dynasties change.
- Oaths, promises, or commitments to something higher are kept and/or discarded, made or broken, completed or abandoned.
- Our vision changes. We stop looking at something and start seeing something. We move to a deeper understanding of something invisible that lies beneath the superficial appearance.

It might be all three of those interpretations at once.
When Ayan and Akk are in the café, Akk asks Ayan why he brought him here, and Ayan says: "I know... that you spoke to the teachers for me." During his pause after "I know", Akk looks disturbed, and then he relaxes when Ayan finishes his sentence. I now realize that he must have thought that Ayan would say that he knows that Akk is behind the curse.
