Yeah I remember. I thought it was hilarious that he filmed his friends secretly without their knowledge, used it against them, then complains about how he doesn't like being filmed without his knowledge.
I wanted him to realise that aside from himself, anyone would find it creepy when filmed without their consent or knowledge.

I'm struggling to get comfortable to watch this series and I came to the comment section to see what you all think. It really bothers me that not one comment is worried that an adult basically made a move on a minor who is in high school.
While I'm not a morality police but I wonder if this is where we have gotten to. The lines being blurred too often and now, they are being ignored?
Is that being ignored because the minor is physically bigger?
While the story and banter is interesting, I can't bring myself to enjoy it or move forward with it.

To be honest, no matter how many ways this series could have played out, it's still going to leave some people unsatisfied because we all have different opinions both real and unrealistic ones.

You're welcome and I hope no matter what happens, you embrace that change permanently and know that there are people somewhere else in the world who could love you, even without knowing you.

Boston is not a villain. He is more like a selfish and manipulative human. He becomes reactionary and defensive when he's confronted with his fuckups. Yes, he and Top both share responsibility but what Boston did was much more. He introduced Mew to Top and failed to mention that he slept with Top and still had an interest in him.
Starting from ep 3, he began his manipulation tactics. He told Ray that "Mew was still interested in him but was just using Top to make him jealous and he proceeded to tell Ray to go and fight for Mew", despite knowing that wasn't true. Then he went to Top and "showed a photo of Mew and Ray kissing" then told Top half truths and lies to make him interested.
Yes, Top was gullible and stupid, but we could see that Boston planned his actions to get that lay.
After having sex with Top, he continued "trying" to get into his pants, all these while ignoring how hurt his friend will be.
When Mew found out, he told Mew that "he only borrowed Top and without him, Mew will have never been able to get the Top-Tier".
Tell me, which friend treats their friends and speaks to them this way?
He was not remorseful and was very callous.
When Ray confronted him, he tried to gaslight Ray and planting ideas in his head, all the while acting like he was speaking about the deep thoughts Ray had in his mind. He has conveniently forgotten how he edged Ray on because even though Ray did not like Top, he never wanted to get between Top and Mew. Boston planted those ideas.
While Top worked to have Mew's forgiveness, Boston did nothing. He didn't try to approach Mew to ask for forgiveness nor sincerely repent.
Top eventually won Mew's forgiveness (even though I don't approve), and Boston waited until last episode to apologize.

See, Mew can forgive but does not need to keep Boston as a friend. If Boston doesn't change, he might sleep with another BF in the future. I will never keep such a person as a friend.
Top was basically a stranger who got to know Mew, Mew gave him a second chance and they started all over again. But Boston was a friend and has been friends with Mew for a while yet still betrayed him.
I'm scared of a friend who will take a photo of my intimate moment, never tell me about it and years later, lies and uses it to manipulate a situation to his advantage.
Boston basically accused Mew and Ray of having sex, despite not seeing it and only seeing them kiss.
I don't think anyone can be more horrible than that.
He can forgive, but need not keep such friendship.

A person like this who would hurt their friends and partners without remorse and then expect them to accept his assholish behaviour, will really be alone forever if they don't reflect on themselves and it's not a curse.

Boston will find people willing to be in an open relationship with him or people willing to be in a polyamorous/polygamous relationship with him because people like that exist. But if he is not truthful or upfront about it, if he does not understand boundaries and understand that some people are off limit, if he does not stop putting selfish interest above all others, if he does not stop being disrespectful to his partners, he's gonna be alone.

Before you accuse the show of being harsh with Boston and for the show of not knowing what to do with a non-monogamous character like Boston, I will implore you to find shows that features polyamorous characters who were still very loyal to their friends. Lol.
So because Boston is non-monogamous, he should be excused for his behaviour? I smell deep bias towards Polygamy.
People really need to learn that every actions have consequences. People aren't obligated to put up with BS.

Thank you for writing about this. It was really touching and must have been hard talking about your personal experience. Yes, it did help and perhaps when I rewatch OF again, I'll look at Ray a little differently.
Honestly, it is not hard to understand Ray but the problem was, most of his attitude towards Sand and the general public just couldn't be excused by his mental health issues.
Like you said, when the Sand like person came into your life, you didn't behave like your toxic past self (even though you still made mistakes) but with Ray, it was different which is why it was hard for people to keep understanding and defending him.

Lol. I'll adopt your attitude 😅

True.

It's okay.

Wow. We literally have 14 guys playing "main role". I suspect this is gonna be messier than OF.

Lol😅😅

Lol..when some people are already complaining that Thai BLs these days are all NC content to attract the viewers and no story line.
Get ready guys, cos i suspect we're going to get hounded by the morality police once Playboy starts airing.

Why porno? From the trailer, i didn't see the boys do what others haven't done in a BL yet. Masturbation? Nothing new. Kissing? Licking? Again, old story.

Care to explain what you mean?

Well, people are different. Because of the shipping culture. Look at what they did to a Korean actor who starred in a BL "unintentional love story".
The comments towards his GF when he announced she was pregnant were awful. Despite KBLs not doing much fanservice as compared to Thai, fans were really mean to him.

Once Mond starrs as a lead, he's gonna have a ship and it's fandom and they are going to come for his gf since he's out about it.
It's not a secret that some BL fandoms are toxic.

I heard something about Mond having a GF in real life. He might not wanna be a lead in a BL because of how fanservice and shipping works off screen. But I'm just guessing anyways.

I like how well you understand these things.
That was a solid advice and I suspect since it came from Mew to Boston, a lot of people ignored that and focused on calling Mew a hypocrite.😅
But if Boston is sensible, he needs to think about it when he's settled in NY.
If he wants friends, then he needs to learn how not to hurt people. You can't expect people to treat you well and you pay them back by hurting them and expect them to just accept your terrible treatment pf them. Friendship doesn't work that way.

Agreed.

I think you have a point. I also never agreed nor believe Top's redemption arc.

The only thing that bugs me is that, although Top was tagged a playboy, aside from Mew and Ton, we never actually saw him sleep with anyone else, so it's hard to tag him a whore.
That being said, i agree with your point.
I find all these changing for someone laughable, because the real tests starts when the honeymoon phase is over.
People need to want to change for and by themselves. Only that way will it be long lasting.

I really wanted Ray to allow Sand chose him for himself.
I don't like being an option because I'll always doubt.

Ray should have left the decision to Sand. What's the point of being with someone who also wants someone else and is not sure if he prefers you or the other? Sand needed to sort out his feelings of his ex, before going back to Ray.

You are right💯.
He's very good at manipulation and gaslighting, plus throw in half truths and lies.
