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.

A person like this who would hurt their friends and partner will really be alone forever if they don't reflect on themselves and it's not a curse.

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.

Ah, no. My heart can't handle another mess for the next one year. That's why I went for a sweet balm to mend it.

Though, I don't know who Samantha is, this is all I've been saying.
Loyalty!!!
Manipuation, cheating and hurting others does not equal to honesty, and Ton is definitely not a honest character. His actions shouldn't be excused with Polygamy, non-monogamy or sexual liberation.

I have seen S1 of gameboys before. So sweet and i couldn't watch S2 cos of the number of times I've heard "baby baby". I thought I'll go mad if i heard it one more time.😆😅I'm sure you can't relate to this at the moment.

Thank you for this. I was just about writing. Boston's sleeping with his friend's lover and also disrespecting and cheating on Nick should not be mistaken for polygamy or polyyamory.
He will put his lust and selfish interest above his friends and partner, without caring how much he hurts them. That's why he needs to grow.
The moment he asked Nick to date him, he should have stated that the relationship was open
Blatantly disrespecting , disregarding and cheating on his BF on a date like that is not it. Then turning around to claim "I've been this way, so you have to accept me" is gaslighting 101.
I wonder how people look at Ton's behaviour and still claim "he's the only one who's been honest with himself from the beginning ".
I guess being biased towards Ton's way of life while disregarding everything else is why.
