Have you seen the other pics on Nadao's twitter?? There are pics with Tarn, with Bas and others... I'm so nervous!

I just saw then now, god help us all! It's the same clothing than the scenes for next episode in the teaser. I'm not ready for tomorrow, help!

Give this man all the awards please.

Same... specially episode 3 and it still hits as hard as the first time.

I know this is probably not the place but found this edit on youtube of TehAew and now my emotions are all over the place. I love them so much, help.

Perfectly said.

Most teenagers, don't have the maturity to do as you said "take a step back until they know, sometimes not even adults do. They get paralyzed by the confusion and want to delay making decisions. So I think that he won't take that mature decision for now (maybe Oh-Aew will take that decision for him and take a step back?). But that's life, that's what humans do, specially at his age and specially volatile like him. I'm also curious to know how he'll act. Unfortunately sometimes, in the turbulent path of self discovery we end up hurting others.

The brilliance of this series is that I don't see anyone as right or wrong. Not excusing if Teh strings people along or hurts people along the way, but somehow this series make me empathize with all sides and understand where these characters come from. I empathize and care for Teh, for Aew, for Bas, for Tarn. It makes me emotional because it is rare that I've seen human nature displayed in such rawness in fiction without the script itself taking sides and trying to frame someone as good or bad, as right or wrong.

Coming to terms with homosexuality with oneself is often already hard enough due to social conditioning and stigma, and when it involves other people the difficulty is even often even bigger. I hope to see empathy for his inner struggle, It's all too real.

They're really enjoy making us suffer haha

I've seen the people in the ITSAY comment section making very good and nuanced commentary about these characters. I think most of us empathise with these characters and see them as multi layered human beings. This is actually one of the most interesting and satisfying comment sections I've seen in MDL. I think it will be fine.

God help us!

It's not a Thai thing at all in BL, not in the last years at least. Most Thai BL in the past few years have skinship and some of them even have a lot of skinship and bed scenes just like any western straight couple on a series. But even without skinship you have BL in China (the country censors any gay interaction) where the body language and way they look at each other is enough to show their love and desire for each other. It all depends on the writing, directing and the feelings that they want to convey.

I still feel bromance vibes, even with all the retcon and not actual boyfriends but maybe that's just me. Good that they listened to the fans and tried to correct some of the mistakes, but still continues to not convince me that these two are actually physically attracted to each other (and you don't need explicit, NC or even kissing to show this... look at Korean BL or even more ccensored Chinese BL like The Untamed and the way they look at each other even without any displays of physical intimacy that make you truly believe they love each other romantically and feel attracted). I don't know, maybe I've watched too much BL (Thai, Philippines, Japan, Taiwan) to make me feel this couple is convincing. I loved the first 5 episodes of s1 and some of the side couples had an interesting premise but even them I felt wasted potential. I still see them as just two close friends and if it wasn't for them specifically mentioned they're boyfriends and say it verbally, I wouldn't be fully convinced. Plus I don't understand all that crying for being 2 weeks apart when you're together 24/7 the rest of the time in a stable committed relationship. It felt too out of place and too dramatic. But maybe it's just me. As I said kudos for listening to the fans.

I'm very curious about that theory, but I know that dwelving into the personal lives of the actors is a slippery slope. I've also thought about that aspect of the rumors about the actors' in real life and the comments of the director that there are some things based on real life events. And as you say I'm not much of digging into actors' real life, however I've been watching many BKPP videos and interviews because these 2 are my serotonin boost lately that make me smile in the moments I'm not crying over ITSAY haha

Have you read my new prediction for the ending? I said I was going to stop overthinking but I literally can't stop writing and writing about this series and analyzing. Someone send help haha

Yes. Those scenes are very symbolic of the confusion Teh is feeling inside him and how his feelings went from rival to friend to intimate and wanting to understand what he's feeling. I love how they did this "show, don't tell" move with Teh's feelings

Oh I remember that! She really seems to need therapy. Her obsession with rape and views on sexuality are very disturbing.

Wait what??

The promotion posters already had the same issues, it all looked very cheap. So far I haven't seen the huge Hirablue investment (plus 2 other sponsors) but hope that it is just the beginning and that everything improves in the next episodes.

Same. We need a ITSAY support group lol

Then why did the parents and P'San also look so tense and annoyed at the engagement announcement? They all looked so done with Thorn and only by the end did the father lightened up a little bit.
