This show is terrible and I love it.

Spicy opinion incoming: I think Mix's acting was weak here. Like, yes Win was poorly written (not Mix's fault) but Mix also really missed the mark in a lot of the the more angry or aggressive scenes. He didn't sell it for me.

Cute show though. Better than I expected (but my expectations were low lol.)

I love this show to death, but I agree that it's unrealistic that he wouldn't recognize Sib. I could understand if he didn't recognize him right away, but they were living together for a whole month before he went home and discovered the truth. It's very unrealistic lol, even for someone as forgetful as Gene.

Does anyone know who plays Aoey's sister? I don't see her credited here.

Was there a Baker Boys crossover??? Lee and Pluem are credited as appearing in Episode 10 as Punn and Krating. Is it worth watching that episode just to see them?

(For context: I gave up on this show early on because I *hated* Theo, and the reviews I've seen since it finished haven't convinced me to give it a second try lol. But I loved Baker Boys.)

I can see why a lot of people don't like this show, but I kind of love it. It's funny and unique. We see a lot more queer characters than we do in a lot of Thai BLs. Like -- not just an assortment of boys who could all pass for straight if they weren't kissing each other. A surprising diversity of characters who are actually pretty visibly queer, and who AREN'T always the butt of the joke because of that. (*cough cough* stares at GMMTV *cough cough*).

THOUGH if there are really only 10 episodes... that might change my opinion of the show. This show is nowhere near finished. It really doesn't feel like anything has *happened* yet. How is the show already going to end????

I'm struggling to stay interested in this one. I really liked Fiat and Leo in TharnType Season 2. Here though -- I don't know. The drama feels very pointless and First's acting feels a little forced. Which is strange because I really liked his acting in TT. I thought maybe the director had changed or something, but it's the same director?

I'm going to give it a few more episodes before I judge it too harshly. But so far I'm kind of bored. It's not bad, it's just not interesting enough to really keep me coming back every week.

I wouldn't say he's a player. To me, being a player means that you're dishonest, or at the very least that you're leading multiple people on, making them think you want to be monogamous with them. Leon is very honest with his partners about the fact that he doesn't want monogamy right now. To me, that's very different from a player who would be lying to the people he's with.

Now, as a lesbian, I can't exactly tell you why people are swooning over him lmao. Other people can answer themselves haha. But I will say the fact that he's with multiple people wouldn't be automatically unattractive to me since he's honest about it.

I agree with a lot of what you're saying. I actually felt like First did really well in TharnType Season 2. Fiat was still pretty chaotic and sad there, but his acting carried it well for me. But in this show... it feels very melodramatic and weird. Like he just annoys me when he cries here. I'm not sure why that is.

That poor cat had me so stressed out. It was not happy.

And omg I thought the same thing with the hair drying. The first thing I thought about was Lovely Writer, but I think they had a scene like that in Golden Blood too recently. It's so much lol.

Dang. I've been watching through HIStory, really in love with Seasons 1 and 2, and with Trapped. Just finished Make Our Days Count and it was incredibly disappointing -- went to check the comments on this one and it doesn't look promising. HIStory was such a good show, have they just forgotten how to do it well? So disappointing. :(

I'm so mad wtf was that ending. I can appreciate a good sad story. I can appreciate a story that properly builds up to the death of one of its main characters. (Hell -- I was prepared for a death in History 3: Trapped. I would have cried but I wouldn't have been mad.)

But a fun silly story about two highschool kids falling in love that ends with the most random, nonsensical death, then spends a whole extra episode wallowing in the grief it didn't even have to make for itself? Nah. Nah miss me with that shit.

Not to mention like -- poor kid walks into a "straight" boy's life, teaches him some lessons as they fall in love, then DIES OUT OF NOWHERE and it's a transformative experience for the well-off kid who by the way also goes back to dating women? MISS ME WITH THESE TROPES MISS ME WITH THIS BURY YOUR GAYS BULLSHIT I can't even right now. I watch BL to get away from that nonsense now you're throwing it at me for no reason I'm so pissed rn why didn't I just stop at episode 18. This was such a fun show I'm not here for this sad nonsense.

omg I loved the fight scene in episode 7. When Sun went flying I SCREAMED

Petition for a GL spinoff that follows Toktang and Juno during Sky's time abroad, with lots of screentime for Pitch and Bank?

Yeah -- maybe my comment wasn't clear. I already watched ep 7, it was just disappointing to wait for it all week, then when it actually premiered it wasn't as good as I had hoped it would be.

I couldn't stand Pi. Glad I'm not the only one. I had a similar reaction to the first episode, but liked the show more the longer it went on. I still didn't like Pi lol, but there's enough going on in the show that disliking him didn't ruin it for me.

I'm glad Iowans are enjoying this show

I binged episodes 1 - 6 and really liked them, though Gun's acting in episode 6 got on my nerves. But now I'm caught up and had to wait a whole week for episode 7. I was looking forward to it so bad.... but maybe this is just not the kind of show you watch as it comes out. This will be a great show for binging. It's not good enough to wait a week between episodes. Kinda glad it's over next week.

I will say though, I really liked the fight scenes this week. Especially how they were mostly serious, but then Bank's fighting was just slapstick like something straight out of the Three Stooges. I don't usually care for violence but I was way more invested in the fight scenes than in the romance, which is kind of ruined for me at this point by Sky acting like an actual toddler. It sucks because I'm still really invested in Sun :/

But he's not a toddlerrrrrrr he's a whole adult! Also, RIP Rubix Cube. Sun said that was his only childhood friend now it's gone lmaoooooo

I actually think that Sun has a better reason to be hesitant with his affections than most BL protagonists. This is one of the only shows where I'm not annoyed by that kind of a plot device. Sun owes his entire livelihood to Sky's father. He has also been training his entire life to protect Sky. (Sidenote but does it creep anyone else out that Sky's father adopted an orphan to train him to be a killing machine and harvest his blood? I can't get passed that...)

But anyway, being in a relationship makes him vulnerable and could upset Sky's father, so it makes sense that Sun refuses to confess. The stakes there are a lot higher than most BLs where it's based on vague gay panic. Though I agree that Sky's reaction is a little unreasonable.

I've seen worse acting personally. I didn't think Gun's acting was bad enough to be distracting until Episode 6. That being said.... Wow. I'm sorry but his acting in Episode 6 was terrible. You would think the director would step in and give him some tips or something, idk how they let that tantrum scene into the final cut of the show. It was so bad.
