For real though, the acting in this episode was muah
They do well in every episode, but those miniscule facial expressions really sold it in this one. This is one of the few episodes where the emotions and feelings of the leads are explicitly stated (for the most part), and I love how well all of them were able to express it.

No, no, it's just their nickname for him 😅
They call him Na a lot so I started calling him that subconsciously as well

😅😂

These were the major scenes, but a small thing I noticed was that Ten titled his playlist "Songs for when I miss Chef". Smallest detail but it was pretty cute

The two most important scenes according to me were the two with Na and Metha. Both involve them waiting for all four guys to have Mala with them. Na wants to wait for everyone to arrive before they begin, but Metha says he won't wait and begins eating. After the scene of Firefy and Dy's bike "running out of fuel", we see that Na is still waiting for everyone and Metha is done eating. He says Na should eat since no one is showing up, but Na is still adamant and won't eat. This leads to more bickering and a sort of romantic moment that is broken up before it can begin.
This explained two things, first the blanket drape and slap, but mostly why Na was so angry with Prem and Dy. It was picked up without these scenes, but they did help in cementing Na's feelings

The smallest scenes were one where Firefy and Dy meet up for dinner, and is immediately followed by Na waiting for Prem to arrive.
There were two scenes that involved the two couples but were just as important in regards to Na.
1) The first was a scene with Ten and Prem where they end up cuddling for more than the promised 5 minutes. Once Prem realises that, he tries to leave but Ten says that since it's already late his friends won't mind. Prem does end up leaving, as mentioned by Metha after Na slaps him, and then we see Prem actually going to Ten's house with the ingredients.
2) The second scene is one with Dy, Firefy and Na. After Dy yells at Firefy on the phone just as Na walks down to the restaurant, he tells Na that he's done with Firefy and is going to yell at even more from then on.

There were quite a few extra scenes in the uncut version this episode, a lot of them involving Na and most of them were under a minute or just around the mark.

Ketchup on Ten is good, but ketchup on eggs is where I draw the line!!

I genuinely enjoyed just how calm this episode was, all three pairings going on dates or date adjacent and developing their connections.

Rock and Pai with their drama date, Min and Jinta with their dinner date, and Karan and Achi with their disastrously cute date. Seeing them all share smiles and shy looks warmed my heart.

And I have to point this out, I love how much effort Karan put into the date, doing things that Achi likes and normally does to help him feel as comfortable as possible. It did go a little overboard for Achi (😅), but the fact that they started off by seeking blessings, then watching the sunrise, drinking coffee and watching the sunset, all things Achi likes, it was just super sweet

Jinta was a whole mood this episode, with Madam Noi, with his glasses and his "achaan" mode 😂

I have not read these books, but your article makes me want to pick one of them up lol.

Completely agree with you about the depth that is displayed in the characters in the uncut version. It's not necessarily taking anything away from the story by being cut, but those small scenes and reaction shots that they cut really do provide an excellent perspective into the characters. It's easier to figure exactly why they're acting in certain ways instead of being confused about why good actors are suddenly unable to put forward the emotions they want to.

Have fun!

The last scene they cut though, (I genuinely don't know why they cut it), was a scene of Firefy and Metha literally shuttling to and from the hospital and the restaurant, on foot! They literally said they would just walk up and down and I don't know why they cut it because I was laughing the entire time. It was hilarious.

The biggest scene they cut was the welcome party for Ten. It was a solid 5 to 6 minutes, so I get why they chose to cut that, but it was a lot of insight into Earn as a doctor. It also gave us some insight into Ten's psychology, and an extra reason as to why he became a doctor. Plus it was just really sweet to see him smile that goofy little smile of his, Ten just looked so happy

There was a small scene between Firefy and Dy, just a small one where Firefy carries Dy's bags for him after they go out to get some food, and it was just those extra 10 seconds of sweetness.
Another scene is one where Ten hallucinates and sees Prem as a cleaning lady, which was a nice throwback to when Prem saw Ten as the student, the ticket collector and the pregnant women.

There were only four extra scenes in the uncut version this episode, despite it being around 10 minutes longer than the YouTube version, and this is one of those times where I wished they kept all the cut scenes in.

I get Ten and Prem not wanting to talk to each other, but why did those two shuttle between the hospital and the restaurant when they could have just stayed with one person and called the other?! 😂
This made me crack up so much for some reason 😂
