Anti-Romantic

So Akk also liked Teacher Dika? Explains why he has been so mad that he left, he probably felt betrayed, imagine how he would feel when he learns that he died.

Ayan's face when Akk asked about him was so heart breaking and it seems Akk sensed something was wrong when he didn't respond, I was surprised he just let him go like that.

On a side note, Teacher Dika's visuals is fire, I got distracted when I saw him on the blue suit, I kept staring 🤭🤭

It's funny how I've been looking forward to that bed scene since I've been seeing it on teasers and clips, just loved how Akk was cuddling Ayan like a baby especially as he's been acting strong ever since. Nothing prepared me for what was going to happen next.
I already know episode 6 will be the death of me🥵

You posted a comment about the way Akk punched Ayan, did you remove it?

I understand what you mean, with all the BLs being released this year it has been kinda difficult to find something I really loved. To my star 2 and Love mechanics were my biggest expectants for this year and in spite of the angst and pain I thought they were really good, I didn't think I would love something else right away so finding The Eclipse felt like a special gift from the gods of BL. Especially after seeing First in Not me and really loving him and I've been crazy about Khao since I saw him in 2gether and TOTS and badly wanted to see more of him (I never saw TonChon cause of the bad reviews).
Whoever decided to pair them deserves an award, especially finding out they've been friends for years just made everything better. I love that giddy feeling they give me and they really brought back that squealing under the blanket moments.

Another BL I had high hopes for was My only 12p, after falling in love with Cooheart and Santa from their part in 7 project, I couldn't wait to see more of them. But for some reason, I haven't really been able to get into it after seeing episode 1, I don't like to judge a series from just 1 episode, so I hope to go back to see more of it. But for now, I'm way too consumed with The Eclipse🤭🙃

Not this again, I'm so sick of this happening to our babies 😤

The martial arts scene has us all on a choke hold 🤭 even the one on the intro of episode 4 was so good. My favourite thing is the long stare. Even while they were sitting on the ground, Akk wasn't trying to hide the fact that he was staring at Ayan. You can really see the fascination in First's eyes.

Found the old trailer on Twitter again, too bad we won't be seeing some scenes from there, they actually looked good. Love the improvements that were made though.

I don't know about you guys but this series captured me from the very first episode; the chase immediately Akk first saw Ayan, the bathroom encounter, the Calvin Klein/waist tattoo sneak peek, Akk's instant obsession with Ayan, the long glares, even the "catch me if you can".
Even though they were simple things and somewhat cliche, I found them intriguing maybe because I was already in love with the MLs from the start.
But I think they did well introducing the series and pacing it perfectly for us to expect more. It takes a while for any series to gain momentum, there's only so much they can do with the first set of episodes. And I'm not talking about fast-paced stories.

Yea, the next episode looks so intense, a lot seem to be going on already. Even with Ayan giving Akk his jacket, I'm surprised they've gotten to that stage.

From the dialogue, Ayan is insisting on exposing the school, I guess relating to his Uncle. But Akk, as a strong advocate for the school, is trying to stop him. It will all be clear by tomorrow.

I can't wait to see when he puts it on Akk and what led to that, it felt so intimate🤭

Saw a clip that showed they've been friends since 2018 and I was really surprised, I didn't know that before. Love the whole idea of casting friends together, the chemistry just comes natural. It worked for Ohm and Nanon too.

Am I the only one kinda scared for tomorrow? Akk punched Ayan🥺 I really don't want to see them fighting. But also can't wait to see them getting closer🤗

Yea, it's possible it was taken down. You know it was a controversial topic then when Thai fans thought International fans were over reacting cos they claimed it was all fun and games among the boys. I think they apologised and Cooheart seem to have gotten past it and moved on and seem to still be friendly with them.
If you're really curious there's a twitter link down this comment section, where this topic was being discussed a while back. You just have to scroll down to find it. I don't want to share because you know it's been a while, so I don't want to seem like I'm raising it up again.

There's actually a video on Youtube, I wish I had a link but I found it when I was in investigative mode, when I first heard about it a while back. If you search well, you'll find it there.
His co-actors thought they were being playful but he was clearly uncomfortable, hence the bullying.

I know cheating is a big deal to some but nothing hurts more than being betrayed by a best friend you trust, I think that's what hurt Earth more.
It's been fun reading the YT comments from years ago when the show was airing, it was actually weird at first seeing people ship Earth and Stud and most people had the theory that he tried to ruin Earth's relationship because he was in love with him. At first I couldn't see it and it didn't make much sense to me.
But it seems S2 is going to unravel all that. Though I just started, but so far, they are going back to show us how it all started with the four friends from back in college, and the possibility that Stud might have actually had something for Earth. I guess that would be interesting to see.
Personally, the only ghost ship I built was for Earth and Boom. The hugs they would share and the way they would cuddle in bed when they needed each other was so beautiful to see. I thought their friendship was really cute and it gave me so much serotonin.
Though I might not be binge watching this time like I did the first one, plus this one is quite longer, but I'll definitely come back and give you the feedback when I'm done.
Wish me luck 🤞

I think Sotus S was made because most people didn't get much out of Sotus. Though you might be disappointed if you're expecting a lot. It gets better there but we still get to see Arthit struggling with showing too much emotions and being open with his relationship in the workplace. With yet again Kongpob being the pursuer, and even invading his space which Arthit didn't like, but this time Kongpob finally snaps and couldn't take the secrecy anymore. Finally leaving Arthit with either being open about them or risk losing him.
I hope I didn't give away too much, It gets beautiful at the end, you will like it.
After that you can also check out their story in Our Sky, that's where we get to see Arthit really open up about his feelings, its really cute.

In spite of all the craziness, I'm glad I finally saw this, I've been putting it off for way too long. When it comes to Thai, I've only ever watched their BL dramas so it was good to see the life of straight couples. I like that it was matured and centred on adult lives and the issues they face navigating friendships and relationships.
It brought out all the emotions out of me and kept me purely intrigued. I didn't really care whether it was BL or not, I just wanted it to be worth my time and it was. And it was really good to see Singto again.
Just like everyone who have seen this, I'm really not satisfied with the ending. I believe everyone deserves someone who makes them happy and it didn't make sense for it to be someone who would hurt them over and over. In the real world, there's only so much one can take, people do leave toxic situations and disrespectful partners, I think they should have considered that angle.
All in all, it kept me intrigued and I'm ready to see season 2, I hear it gets better there.

Literally just wrote down everything in my head. As much as I loved this series because of the unending drama and chaos, and I see they were trying to be close to reality, cos we know these are the kind of shit that people go through in relationships, they could've done better with the ending.
Because in reality, there's only so much shit and disrespect one can take, people fix themselves up and walk out of situations that doesn't serve them, I think they should have considered that angle.
A lot of things I tried to get past like Earth taking Sam back, we know relationships are not perfect, I guess for some they try to make things work inspite of the hurt and pain. The least they could have done was to leave Boom and Bern together, they looked good together and for the first time she looked truly happy in a relationship. While Am deserves someone who respects her and is as driven and hardworking as she is.
There's no universe where Tor winning Boom back doing the barest minimum makes any sense, this particular end really pissed me off. Good and Boyo's end was really anticlimactic, I expected more.
It was still a good watch over all.

This was the push I needed to finally watch this series and I have no regrets. It has been on my list since forever cos anytime I read about it, someone is probably complaining about the cheating. Personally I love when the plot covers real issues, so that got my attention but seeing the ratings and reviews almost discouraged me.
I'm glad i saw it anyway, it brought out all the emotions out of me and very few thai dramas have done that. I wasn't particular about whether it was BL, i just wanted it to be worth my time and it was.
I'm still not sure how I feel about the ending, I think everyone deserved to be with someone who made them happy and it didn't feel right that it was someone who would hurt them over and over. Especially in the case of Boom and Tor, even though l can get past the other couples ending, I didn't think Tor deserved her at the end, I couldn't get past the constant disrespect and the fact that he really just did the barest minimum to win her back. She was really happy with Bern and they looked perfect together. While Am deserved someone who respected her and shared her dreams with her. I know its weird that these were my major issues and not the cheating issue with Earth, Sam and Stud, I guess in reality most couples end up forgiving their cheating partner, but not the friend who betrayed them. Lastly, even though we kinda knew Good and Boyo would end up together, the end just felt anticlimactic, the handshake on agreeing to be a couple just didn't feel satisfying to me.
I agree with you about how the conclusion was kinda rushed.
Anyway, I'm ready to see season 2, I was thoroughly intrigued and now I want more.

Yea, I kinda get what you mean.
