Hi!

If you missed anything it would be last years shows, like the sensation that was KinnPorsche 2022.

Another good one was Love Mechanics, the new 10 episode version from 2022, it's less explicit, but not shy either.

Then there's the controversial Love in the Air 2022. The first couple had crazy chemistry, but you should be adult enough to know about Dom/sub dynamics to understand what's happening. Many people were clueless and disturbed. It is by MAME though so it's in no way a perfect representation of Dom/sub. MAME has issues with her portrayals of sexuality anyways. The overall quality of that show went down like a rock when the second couple became the center of the story after the half way mark.

Oh, Cutie Pie is watchable.

The are other show, but the acting is mostly so bad, I haven't watched them. Bed Friend was borderline ridiculous with their intimate scenes but still a watchable series. I dropped Big Dragon.

The op said he loves Gawin, and wants to watch for him, I think it's worth it. I'm not a fan of any actor, though I like some more than others. In my own head I put actors in the 'good' category, if I can see layered emotions and read their motivations on their face and in their body language. Gawin looks pretty skilled to me here, and he is hot 😄.

First half of episode 1 has a lot of setup for the story line, so if you're very impatient that might be a bit tedious, but it's worth it in the end. I'm not a fan of Krist, I'm indifferent really, not a fan of SOTUS either, battled through it, because it's basically a BL classic. This series is entirely different, and it's worth a watch, even if just for Gawin 😀.

Pisaeng and Phrae have known each other since they were kids, their families know each other. Like someone said, it could be an arranged marriage/marriage of convenience. [Edit] In the alternate universe that's plausible.

In the original timeline, it looks like Kawi messed up by attaching to the girl. In his anxiousness and obliviousness he pushed Pisaeng into her arms, when he was meant to be with Pisaeng himself. That's why Pisaeng and Phrae got together in the first place. [Edit]

The scene where Pisaeng tries to get the 'little Kawi' toy, the toy keeps slipping from his grasp and he gets so frustrated. I just realized, it's a mirroring scene. Pisaeng is playing that game, while Kawi is talking to his crush at the restaurant, and Pisaeng is feeling like Kawi is slipping through his fingers, like he's losing Kawi to her.

Pisaeng is hot indeed, help!

Soon, 2+hours to go! I'm comforting myself by rewatching We Best Love and Semantic Error. Come on Friday, I want to know if Be My Favorite will remain a good one argh!

I Agree with your comment about Krist's smile, and how you interpreted the original comment. I have no beef with Krist, I'm just here to watch the series.

Thanks, reading it now!

Agreed, no more 'I don't even like sex, but I shall grant you this favor'- virgin panic, please! Also, LOL at 'the beige bag of broken dreams'. GMMTV should absolutely sell those with the dandelion globes insufficiently packaged, breakage 60 percent guaranteed.

I'm high-key weirded out imagining it. I'm basically wringing my hands. I don't like fanservice anyway, and I was just thinking, I want to see the series and the acting, please no controversies from that side of things.

I don't know if there's a book available anywhere. I just looked at the cues in the story. Pisaeng drew Kawee as his "secret friend" and the way he talks to Kawee about why he won't keep it a secret is foreshadowing. The way Pisaeng looks at Kawee when he's playing basketball and also when he goes up to DJ, and the way he is so clearly showing off to him, most clearly when playing basketball. It's not even what he says at the basketball court, about whether or not Kawee is interested in him, which is sending out feelers anyway, but the way he's looking at Kawee and the disappointment on his face when he sees Kawee is gone from the bench. All of it says look, there's a possibility for something more here.

Of course, Kawee is so withdrawn, he's the type that doesn't easily dare to think someone might be into him, so he has a hard time noticing. It's all about Phrae to him, the kind girl who's always just out of reach romantically, which is kinda a safe option, if you think about it. Nothing is gonna happen with her, so Kawee can continue hiding in plain sight living his non-life he's stuck in, no risk for scary big change. This time travel thing is about to explode on Kawee, which is hopefully gonna be really interesting!

So Botkawee didn't fail to get the girl. He drove the boy that might have been interested in him, into the arms of the girl that was kind to him, all because he was so wrapped up in his own insecurities. The sadness of the whole situation came across vividly.

I'm cautiously hoping this will stay as good as it was. Really enjoyed the acting. Wish I could binge-watch the whole thing right now! Arrggh!

Oh no, I completely forgot about "Something About 1%" it is very similar to 'A Business Proposal' and the first episode isn't as wild as "Crazy Love" 😁. Don't be misled by the beginning of "Crazy Love" if you watch it by the way, it's not actually all that serious.

Exactly like this is a hard LOL, but 'Crazy Love' is similar, and such a good show, it would be my first choice. Also, 'True Beauty' is kinda similar with younger main leads. 'Love to Hate You' and 'What's Wrong with Secretary Kim' might have something in common too. You should also check out 'Her Private Life'.

I really like that the conflicts are short, it would get tedious otherwise. Force's lower stomach is a certified fire hazard.

Which show is next? Is it Vice versa, My school President, A Boss and a Babe, Bad Buddy and then A Thousand Stars like listed on the related content section?

Actually 😁, I think it's maybe not a 't' after all, but sounds more like 'd' or a glottal stop. I'm not all that familiar with the sounds in Thai.

I think he does do that. I don't know why for sure, but I've understood that the 's' sound is followed by vowel in Thai, so maybe Thai speakers choose a letter that feels more natural to them instead like 't', since Boss ends in an 's'. He isn't strictly speaking going for proper English pronunciation when he says Boss, it's a loan word from English that's spoken in Thai. If you speak multiple languages, you'll notice people use loanwords this way. I mean you can choose to pronounce them in the way your native language would. In Finnish we could say Bossi, because we operate in consonant+vowel+consonant+vowel patterns.
