Taiwanese BL dramas love to reference each other. I have yet to see any that don't. It's either through easter eggs like this or through cameos. I like to think of it as a nod to the dramas that came before. Kind of a respect thing. Plus fans love easter eggs and cameos. It keeps reminding people of past dramas, makes them go back, and keeps word circulating about them. It's quite clever really.

*Edit: I cant remember which dramas, but it's also common in BLs to see posters for groundbreaking gay films like Brokeback Mountain and Call Me By Your Name. That's why I lean more towards saying its a nod to past works.

I saw those looks between Soo Cheol and Hye Joon this episode. I ship it. But I think it might be passed off as an unrequited thing. Soo Cheol seems to see her like a sister.

If the comedy in the first few episodes isn't your schtick, stick around till episode 7. The type of comedy shifts and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I've been doing far less skipping from cringe and secondhand embarrassment.

Honestly, the comedy since episode 7 is more my kind of comedy anyway. More situational than cringe. I like it. I've been having a good laugh.

Honestly, yea. This could have been a shorter series because of how simple it is. But the pacing and style is quite similar to Vicenzo is several ways - so I wonder if they went with a longer series to kind of match Vicenzo's success.

I actually loved this episode. It was so funny. I think my favorite was when the youngest of the cafe gang passed off his presence as a shoe insert- seller. Their faces were GOLD. And he didn't look at all tempted. He's living his best life right now. XD How many people can say they turned down THAT offer?! And the FL appears to have learned some from her mistakes, so she was less annoying and more fun to watch.

And I loved that some of my suspicions proved true.
1.) Obvious suspect isnt the suspect they were looking for, but is sus.
2.) We were revealed to the bad guy prior to the main characters. Very Vicenzo-like if I do say so myself.

Eh, there have been a few storyworlds in the Thai BL world right now where one story is normal and another has a fantasy element to it. Manner of Death (normal) and Triage (fantasy) being an example.

In the episode 6 epilogue scene. It's a flashback. From 3 years ago. ML is talking to the prosecutor and telling him about the burn mark for the first time. Across the street, a guy is in his car with his arm out the window watching them, featuring *dun dun* a burn scar.

I don't think the prosecutor is innocent. But he isn't Gopuri.

I'm watching on Netflix. I very well might be remembering wrong.

I agree. But, it's pretty obvious that they will. All the clues are there.

I mean, the same could have been said for Vicenzo, but I don't really hear anyone complaining there. There's ways to keep an audience engaged even when we know more than the characters.

Besides, we still have to:
- Find and identify who gopuri is
- Determine who all his accomplices (and potentially bosses) are
- Take down Gopuri and his accomplices/bosses
- They'll probably be a few more cases, both directly and nondirectly linked to Gopuri
- Get rid of the corrupt cops
- Prove ML's innocence
- Clear ML and his friend's names legally
- Determine what the cafe gang is going to do next
- ML and FL's apparent romance.

Same. The first 2 episodes, I was like "he's too squeaky clean and suspiciously good." But then it became too obvious. And they still wouldn't show his face. Like if it's going to be that obvious, go all the way. Fully make it one of those things that the audience knows but the character's don't. Like they did in vicenzo. The more people kept guessing him, and the more the show wouldn't explicitly show us, the more I was like. Nope. Not him.
He's still sus though. I still stand by that judgement.

Yea. I kept seeing everyone saying "I thought I was the only one..." or "I'm glad I'm not the only one..." or "anyone else thinking..."
I'm like, "this entire comment section. wdym?" 😂

I'm just glad it's not the prosecutor. It would have been annoyingly obvious, especially while they weren't revealing his face. I would've felt like I was being played as a fool.

Yeppers :)

Same.
It could even be newbie cop dude. I still think that his placement being the same exact day as FL's transfer is too much of a coincidence. And I think it would be one of those twists no one sees coming.
Not unlike the Vicenzo villain reveal.

I might have to rewatch lol.
But yea, time will tell either way.

If you are right and the director is Gopuri, perhaps he already felt indebted to the Director. And that's why he didn't do anything with the knowledge of the scar that ML gave him in that flashback.
Perhaps the director is his brother or something? Afterall, the prosecutor does seem well off and well-connected.

Also, this episode proved gopuri isn't the prosecutor...?

ML doesn't have a brother...?
