The two wives seem to be fine with each other as far as I can see, even living in the same house. Both of the sons call each of them Mom. Surprised since the Major wife seems to be very high strung.

If you look up Major/Minor wives you'll see it has a long history in Thailand though society seems to be moving away from it.

The problem is the show did a horrible job explaining that.

Thailand has a Major/Minor wife arrangement similar to the Wife/Concubine tradition in the rest of Asia or "Sister Wives" situation here in the US. First wife is the legal wife with public recognition .... and the additional wives get commitment paperwork, security, and benefits that are just as legally binding, but aren't recognized publicly as legal wives.

I think he did love him, but he hated him more at the end ... for the broken promises, for the death of his people, and especially for the actions that led to Shuhe becoming emperor in the first place. He knew his brother was wrong, but still hoped he could convince the Crown Prince that he truly had no interest in the throne. And then everything happened and Shuhe found himself in the one place he tried to avoid his whole life ... then failing at it. It was a lot of get over ... especially when ZiAng's brother was adding to insult behind ZiAng's back.

I think the afterlife scene was to show that he would be able to finally let that go and just keep the love .... based on how his brother met him without his paranoia and greed, just the love and joy of brothers.

But the last few episodes made it obvious that they were both doomed. Zi Ang was too blindly obsessed and Shu He was never going to forgive. His last moments were dedicated to giving ZiAng everything he wanted just to rip it away less than 24 hours later. The short scene of happiness in the afterlife doesn't make this an HEA for me. :-(

Really wish we could get away from these types of endings.

They did a lot with so little .... I'm really impressed.

they were at a house party without their parents ... and they drank.

100% agree on all that .... it's just a disjointed plot with bad direction.

The only thing, and I've seen this a lot about Mild being a minor so it's a crime .... Mild and Knight were both minors at the time. They are 2 years apart in age ... with Knight being in 11th grade and Mild being in 9th grade.

Per's mother doesn't seem to be the type to share ... especially with Knight's mom encouraging Per to go against her commands. I don't know if the book goes into more detail but we're left to wonder here in the series.

It was new to me until I saw The Bangkok Boy .... it was touched on in there and I found it fascinating. Based on what I found, it isn't practiced as much these days but is still a thing.

Kan seems to be the oldest .... he's in his 6th year (out of 7) of med school

Per is next, I think in 4th year unless his specific engineering major goes beyond the normal 4 years ... and his mother is the Major wife of the dad

Knight and Mud are in 4th year ... with Knight's mom being the Minor wife of the dad (which is Thailand's version of a concubine. Legally protected, accepted as a spouse but not the legal wife on record.) That is why the Dad, both wives, and Knight all live in the same house. I'm guessing Per moved out because of household drama, but we are never told why)

Mild, Tum, and Klah are all 2nd years.

It's the only couple I'm interested in as well, but they barely have screen time and/or are caught up in filler conversations.

So they changed it up from the book ... Mud stopped Knight in time .... still ridiculous in terms of the storyline and people's actions/reactions making any kind of sense. And so not worth the chaos of the last couple weeks.

I'm with the folks who think GMM needs to put more effort into action choreography. I've been thinking that for a while. And now that it looks like they are taking serious steps to branch out from the "romance core" into more diverse and complex storylines, I hope they follow through so that their actors have the best chance to succeed.

Loving Revamp though. Cool concept and I'm enjoying the vibe of it. Boun and Prem make it work.

KProfiles has Kevin / Na AeJun (The teacher) as 167cm (5'6") - https://kprofiles.com/omega-x-members-profile

Drama Wiki has Kim Kang Min / Choi Si Yeol (The Idol) as 188cm (6'1.5") - https://wiki.d-addicts.com/Kim_Kang_Min_(1995)#google_vignette

The actor playing the teacher is 167cm (5'6") and the one playing the idol is 188cm (6'2")

- Way too much MinJu ... let it go for a bit for any supposed "rom-com" elements, but it just got pathetic watching a woman continually chase after someone who didn't even have the guts to stand up for himself or his relationship. He was taken and uninterested, but continued to let MinJu hang on him and pull him around. Neither one of them were very self-aware.
- Way too much JiHun if YunJae was never going to feel the same way for JiHun that he felt for JiEun.
- Way too much parental guilt with both sets of parents if they weren't actually going to deal with anything. With JiEun's parents, the mother always looked guilty and heartbroken, which definitely played a huge part in how JiEun dealt with things. Had her mother been more supportive and less gloomy then we could have definitely seen more of the "rom-com" they wanted us to see. And YunJae's mother ... don't get me started on her drama queen act when she overheard the technically-true-but-not-actually news about YunJae and JiHun being together. It became all about her as she crushed the soul of not only her son but JiEun/JiHun too. So selfish.
- Way too little of JiEun and her journey. We got confused and sad JiEun, and then perky JiEun when she "came back". But we didn't really get much of the story from her side, and they waited until the very end for her to really make any real declaration on what she wanted. We could guess, of course. But since she spent 80% (or more) of the series at JiHun ... her bit at the end seemed like too little, too late. We needed more depth when she was in her female form. Instead we got cutsy. Most of the character depth came when she was JiHun.

I think the show lost focus on who they wanted us to root for.
It was supposed to be a rom-com, but the unundertones gave a completely different message.

Wondering if it’s a major/minor wife situation … with Per’s mother being the Major (1st, legal wife) and Knight’s mother being the Minor (legal protection similar to a wife, similar to the concubine status in the past.) I’ve seen that in a couple modern Thai dramas.

Per's mother is the one beside the father in public and living in the same house as Knight while Knight's mother is in the back of the crowd at the play. Why would Per's mother be living in the same house with her ex husband and his new family?
