I forgot that this airs tonight and it's nearly midnight. I need to be up at 4AM for a 15-minute server restart for Monday's work. I'll probably catch up later in the day.

These previews are made to stir all sorts of emotions from the audience.

Enjoy watching, my man. And don't forget to get some rest too. We have a long week ahead.

I wonder if there's going to be an EP11 reaction video from Jennie Panhan. She tested positive for Covid yesterday. I have always been looking forward to her reaction videos.

It would be a waste not to see her reacting to everything. But let's all hope that she recovers soon.

I believe you, also you would need to tap into the right emotions for that or the tears won't come -- it could also be very technical for some actors. They didn't need feelings, just a snap of a finger and boom! The tears.

Acting is strange. But here we are loving the actors. :-)

I agree RE: cinematography. Nadao Bangkok's approach to their shows (at least from what I have seen) is to make the visuals look like the audience are watching a movie. This got people to prefer watching in on a (bigger) television screen, than on a handheld gadget. They want their audience to appreciate the show more. And the cinematog is an equal partner to the performances of the actors.

Also agree with Billkin could have done better. That's not to say he wasn't any good - he was awesome actually, but if I directed the show, I would have asked him to give me options on how to attack the scene. It felt a bit like "this is heavy drama, so the weight should be seen."

If I were to compare Ohm and Billkin's approach to realising and acknowledging who they are and their feelings, hands down, without batting an eyelash, Ohm. He conveyed almost everything through his eyes and his silent sighs. Again, this is not to say Billkin's not any good. I was actually thinking they could be in a movie together. The range would be insane.

Oh god! I remember the drama workshops I attended when I was young. The artistic director made me do all sorts of crying in 30 minutes to show range. (subdued and silent with just a single tear rolling but they eyes have to say it > angry crying > wailing > etc.) I was exhausted after.

Same. I'm still not over the gate ending frame, and I am still not re-watching that part in 11. But I am excited for Friday. However the ending goes, it will still be a Nopparnach masterpiece for me.

the snot was the bar for acting. LOL (shit this is going to offend so many people). I'm sorry.

I wasn't keen on it either, but I got really curious about how people were raving about it. To be honest I prefer Zon's wailing when Saifah pretended he didn't know him at all in SaifazZon side story of Why R U. LOL

PAT: You can tell your mum that you broke up with me so she wouldn't be angry at you anymore, na? I know how much you love me, but I also know how much you love your mum. And I wouldn't be able to live with myself if you'll be in so much pain.

I started asking the TV if Teh was going to cry the whole time when he wouldn't stop.

It was heavy drama, but for some reasons it wasn't depressing for me. Something didn't click I guess. But that's not to say it wasn't a masterpiece.

The first couple of bits of him crying, I got carried away. The following crying scenes got annoying.

To be fair, there had to be a hype created for ATOTS.

Earth has never had a BL partner whom he really connected with until ATOTS.

Mix on the other hand was a rookie., and the hard work he poured into the show was splendid.

So the noise was necessary.

It took me a while before I got on the ITSAY bandwagon. It wasn't a favourite for me after I've seen both ITSAY and IPYTM, but it was definitely a masterpiece.

'Pat, please promise me you won't hurt Pran. You know well why.' ---- And Pat never did. Everything he did was to protect Pran from pain.

He saved Pran from getting beaten to a pulp when Korn et al mistook him for Wai.
He saved Pran from embarrassment when he showed up for the play.
He looked at Pran as if to protect him when Wai dropped the curtain.
He was willing to post that they broke up and he was the heartbroken one, to save Pran from trouble.
He couldn't save Pran from his mum's anger, but he did take him on a getaway for a few days if only to ease his pain.

Everything was for Pran. We all deserve a "Pat" in our lives. Or maybe we all need to be "Pat" to someone in our lives.

ATOTS (A Tale of a Thousand Stars) is an earlier Nopparnach masterpiece.

Yep. That was supposed to be the song they were going to play at the Freshy Day Music Contest but he couldn't finish it as he was "uninspired". So they went for Just Friends instead.

OK, folks! I am feeling better today after a dark moment.

I have noticed as I scrolled through the comments that some of youse have been a bit nasty.

We're trying to keep a healthy, safe and fun discussion in this board. Whilst we have no control over what you are going to say to each other (or how you would talk about the actors of the series), may I ask you all to please tone the nasty attitude down, and try to have a grown up discourse with people.

Some of you are probably just trolling, but a number of us are going through stuff. And the nastiness does not help.

Let me address a few things RE: the episodes where so many people have been salty about;

1. Top & Bottom - it's 2022. Finding out who's top and bottom in a relationship does not matter anymore. And it's really not a crucial element in the series. Why can we not just appreciate the intimacy they have shown us (and the morning after)?

2. One's half naked and the other had his short on - AND??? What does this have to do with us? Some people put sleeping clothes on after sex. Some just shower and then stay naked in bed. WHAT IS THE ISSUE? Is it because Pat is ripped and Pran is not? Are we really going to be obsessed with weight and body form issues now?

3. Predictions, hopes and expectations for EP12 - being safe space for discussion, everyone's welcome to share their thoughts. So if you think one way the series should end, that happens to be different from another person's, don't squash their thoughts.

4. One thinking their opinion of the show is right and the rest of us are wrong - I'm not even going to tell you to leave this place. By all means, stay and pour it all in. At the same time though, please write it down on a piece of paper, roll it, and stick it up your arse.

Again, loads of us are doing our best to keep this comments board a safe circle for people who want a healthy discourse.

Go on a low-sodium diet. Too much salt in your system could be hazardous to your health.

Peace out. Love you lots!

I have just ended the meeting. My neighbour on the ground floor, needs help with something. :-) Have a safe and good day, luv.
