Absolutely Agree.

Not necessarily. Some countries dont have YouTube. And GagagOOlala does have free/nonsubscription shows. So in theory, they could have just dual premiered it. Especially considering GagaOOlala made the announcement/confirmation that it would stream it the same day as the trailer premiered.

Agreed. Todd is the mastermind (taking over for his father) - of at least the drug ring business. Tawi might still be corrupt though (after all, no one's gonna bat an eye at a corrupt individiual getting attached to another charge).

I don't know if he's wising up, or he's just getting swept away in all the commotion.

Yes! That whole kiss scene, and the trust fall, is because he is sure that it's not Black. He lost all trust in Black beyond the basic "you need me, i need you" when Black left him behind and got him suspended. It's why Sean has been so confused, conflicted, and absolutely obsessed with White (as Black)'s behavior.
So episode 8 was definitely him decisively determining that it's not Black. The previews for next episode have me thinking next episode is him trying to figuring out who White is (instead of who he isn't), and why he's there. Which will definitely get messy when Black shows up next episode.

I don't know. Sean has been genuinely confused about "Black's" behavior this whole time. We even see this in scenes when he's by himself. So if he did find Black, he would know there is no possible way that that's Black, and he wouldn't have been constantly bringing up all the ways he's acting strangely.

My money is on Todd. He has to be in some way at least partially (if not wholly) responsible for Black's coma. He then put Black in the hospital so that he can manipulate White into giving him the intel on the gang he needs.

Exactly! He was reserved all the way up until he figured out decisively that it wasn't Black. He was conflicted up until then because of his grudge, history, and lack of trust against Black.

Oh Todd was sus from the second he came on screen. And yes, he wasn't coming to check on White, or to give updates about Black - he was there because the manufacturing plant and the protest blew up, and he didnt know a single thing about it.

I kinda wonder if Todd is the head guy (taking over for his recently deceased father) and is diverting all the attention on Tawi (either for everything or just the drug business (afterall, if he's already a crook, who's gonna bat an eye at another crooked charge)). Meanwhile having Gumpa steer the gang wholeheartedly towards to Tawi (they trust Gumpa unconditionally, and Gumpa is the one feeding them all the information). I also think Dan was involved in either Sean's father's murder or the cover-up.

Lol, yea! When I went when someone first dropped the link there was only like 400 something likes. It's amazing!

I agree. This show really isn't providing much insight into Fah's character. As another discussion concluded, his character is so stiff that it kinda disrupts the immersion for some people. I really hope they get better at addressing this, and the worldbuilding, moving forward.

I mean if you want detail, I can provide detail. This whole episode was him confirming it wasn't Black. Between the clues in the apartment, the mysterious and cut off convo with Gumpa, and how he repeatedly did actions that are already established as actions Black would never accept or do. So as soon as he confirmed it wasn't Black, he stopped being conflicted.
And there's the whole spying comment - nothing has ever suggested that Black was good at spying (in fact, he seems to have been the most head-on person in the group), nor White since he joined.

Oh wow. Yikes. Haven't seen that one.

It's on the GMMTV youtube channel. But i think some countries have it geoblocked because they bought the rights to it. So it would be on whatever platform your country uses or via a VPN and set to like the US or something. There's also unofficial streaming sites (you can message me for some of the names, I dont wanna list them here in order to help avoid getting them shut down) - but i would only use those as a last resort, please support officially, especially since the series is supposed to be free everywhere.

See up until this episode, I thought he was a Tawi henchman, not a mastermind. But I'm certainly changing my mind recently - especially with how genuine Tawi sounded about not knowing about Sean's dad. Either he is an award winning actor, or he doesn't know everything that's getting pinned on him

The preview plus the trailer. The scenes in the preview match up with the scenes that are split up in the trailer that lead up to the reunion (Black is in the black hoodie fighting White).

Plus the extended preview that got posted on social media: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CZo83mNBoYB/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Go P'Nuchy!!!

I think it depends on which form of foreign. Plus, they seem to be trying to appeal to both local and international fans.
But from what I've been reading in book translations and interviews, only a select few of foreign features are held in high regard (and that tends to be something about the eyes and nose). Same with colorism, there's some pretty strong negative opinions out there about the dark skin tones from southern thailand.
Of course, I'm not getting a full look as I am still learning about Thailand but that's the gist I've been getting.

And ooh, I like how you think. I've been trying to figure out where the tying him up comes into play lol.

And it did feel like Tawi was being incredibly genuine when talking about Sean's dad, so now I'm inclined to believe Todd isnt a henchman, but rather the main bad guy - taking the drug work over from his dad.

My analysis of everything that happened this episode between Sean and White:

Sean has been suspicious of White (as Black) this entire time, thinking that this is a game to Black. Black broke his trust long before the events of this series (the getting suspended flashback) and Sean doesn't forgive. But he knows something's different here - White doesn't act like Black at all.

So Sean dug around in Black's apartment. And what did he find? Glasses. And contacts. Black has never needed these things. Plus these items are very expensive. Perhaps he may have even found White's ID as well off screen (he's certainly doing a thorough search, and why wouldn't he search his wallet; or even his ID from when he took the government test that would in theory be in the same bag). Combined with all the other behaviors that don't line up (and the ridiculous questions White would ask that Black would know). Sean has to know that White is not Black.

Then there's the conversation with Gumpa that gets cut off for us viewers. What other purpose would that conversation have? Especially since it's right after he leaves White.

Then there's the whole abandoned building bit, where he seems to be testing White and paying extra attention to him.
-The "good at spying" line was clue number 1. No where in the series have we gotten any clues that White or Black are good at spying. This was an indirect jab/hint to White that he knows.
- The way he pulled the bench up to window and helped White get through was also pretty telling. He has never showed this courtesy to him before, especially because Black would have been able to do it no problem.
-White being winded from running up a flight of steps (something that is suggested to be very out of character for Black both in this scene and in the rooftop training scene a few episodes back)
-watching how White reacts to being forced so close to Sean
-tickling White (another thing that keeps getting suggested as being a new thing, but not so easy to suddenly appear)
-the trust fall (Sean was just talking about how ridiculous the exercise was when White did it, besides he wouldn't trust Black to do that, Black has already let him "fall" before with that suspension flashback).
-And then the kiss. I do believe there might be some history between Black and Sean. Something that made it where this test confirmed that White isn't Black. Either because Black would never have let him do that, or because they kiss different.
