Not to mention a lot of people can’t even afford therapy in places where it’s not a taboo subject. I live…
This! I have used colleges as a means to get services when my insurance couldn't cover it or it was too pricey out of pocket for me. I would go to the dentistry school for dental work by a student (with a supervising Dentist) and then I would also go to the mental health schools if I wanted to do those sessions with students earning their LMSWs. So you are right there are places we can get cheap or even free service if we look hard!
This is what I had said earlier. It would be cool if she was the real mastermind behind all this!
haha no credit, just love that others see it too! Love all of your plot ideas cause it would make for a good drama if it ended up with any of these being true.
New is an awful director, there I said it. It took me this long to hold on saying it cause I know there are some die-hard New fans on this site (you know who you are buddy)
I think he really doesn't capture the essence of the characters/plot and just focuses on giving a pretty scene with no substance. You can say that the script is the issue or even the acting, but as a director, he should know when things aren't working well or flowing right. Granted he is no James Cameron or Ange lee, but come on dude, you have been around long enough. This nonsense of characters that just don't behave logically is tiresome.
For instance, you can have all of the cliches in the world but still have a very well-directed and delivered script. Take, for instance, "Something About Harry" movie, which is a rom-com full of tropes and cliches, but the script is so smart and delivered well. Or lest not even go that far, movies like Diary of Tootsie (Thai) could dropkick this drama across the world.
This drama could have been shortened to just 8 episodes and focused on the real issues (plots) Team's trauma and Win's fear of commitment. And let's say they wanted to include more meat into this by focusing on other couples. They could have just added TulWan's story and focused on the issue of pleasing your parents and living for yourself. There is so much they could have focused on, instead, they give us a waterdown FWB plot, a character that behaves like he is still that 10-year-old boy that almost drowned (which again if they had really focused on his trauma, it would have made more sense to show him having this arrested development/mental growth stunt) and allowed for his character to go through the difficult mental journey of letting go of the past and accepting he wasn't at fault.
I believe that the actors here are doing their best with what they got, but if the person who is directing this isn't doing the job well, then the story will still suffer.
With all that, I am still enjoying some of the drama, just not really into it like I was hoping to be.
to be honest I found nueng way too relaxed and carefree for someone who just saw their mom possibly shot to dead…
Seems like he trust's Palm's words about his father being able to take care of things. I don't think he really thinks something serious like death happened given his coversation with Palm. Or it could be that he is just psyching himself out not to think about it too much.

Oh damn Not Me's soundtrack was something really outstanding! I still listen those songs. I think Not Me is probably…
Yeah I think you might be right about Not me being the first GMM drama to really use so many western music artists which went reall well with the story!
It's funny how some are like "I'm dropping this cause the characters are unlikable" or something to the effect, but are the very same ones that would binge-watch BL craps cause the men are "hot" despite having horrible scripts and characters.
The only reason why we finally started getting any decent BL content was that we supported the crappy stuff that came out decades ago. So why can't we give the same support to GL content? Like I said at the beginning of this, I don't care how crappy or cringy or tropey this drama gets, let's show companies that we are interested in more GL content.
I am not saying we can't critique it and give our opinions on what could work and not work, but I hate the hypocrisy of some users who want to drop this (when in reality they probably had very little interest anyways) while at the same time having DPs or watch a history of some of the worst BLs I've watched.
Also, a reminder that some actors and even directors/script writers do lurk here and read comments. So trust me when I say that if you do have some real critique of the show, please share it so that future content can be improved!
I like this drama. It's a real solid. the cinematography is wonderful, the production value is good. The characters…
There were two guards (one shot at the gate and another shot the same time as Tanya, and Palm's father (so three in total) with Palm being the "fourth" one...I don't think it's that unrealistic that she didn't have more guards. She is in her gated home and isn't thinking that danger is going to come knocking at her door during the daytime, as we know there hasn't really been an attempt against her in her home previously. I do agree that maybe as someone who was targeted before she would have a more trained security team...
I hope it's Maggie because I don't want it to be chopper. It could easily be one of the bullies.
She has access to the school and could be working with another student. I am just not convinced it is chopper because it would be too obvious. but who knows.

imagine if it is her! I mean I would have for it to be a girl villain, but it would also be cool since she is the least sus of the bunch, which can mean she's the most likely as well.
Ben was all talk! Then when he needed to be Nueng's defender, he folded like a house of cards. I get it, it is hard to be brave when you have a father as strict/toxic as his father, but the fact that Nueng was braver and admitted to it without even his mother there, says more about Ben than it does about Nueng. You could see how the shy introverted rich kid who has a hard time even saying sorry, had more guts to speak up than others gave him credit.
And the heartbreak! Nueng wasn't in love with Ben, but he felt so betrayed. The one time he actually allowed himself to open up only for a coward to throw him under the bus.
Both kids were under a lot of pressure, but I actually sympathized more with Nueng than with Ben, despite both not being at fault here.
Get it Palm, that kiss you've been thinking about finally landed in your lap.
Honestly, I think the culprit is someone unexpected, like Maggie. I feel like she might hate Nueng...I don't think it's Chopper (well I hope it's not him) I don't think he would want to hurt Ben and run the risk of having Ben expelled. So for me he isn't the one.
