Lee Long Shi is a strong actor and I like him but the poor man just cannot catch a break. I don't understand why. He's got everything the industry wants in their BL stars—handsome, sexy, charismatic, solid kisser. As a bonus, he can actually act!

I guess he must just be stuck in an absolute shite contract.

Nobody asks or cares about much of anything in this series. I'm not convinced First is even awake half the time.

Stop fucking in the onsens!

Aside from that—what a waste of an episode. And I'm not certain how/why we're supposed to care if Doctor goes back to his ex. I have no idea why Mueang is so heartbroken because I have no idea what he even sees in Doctor. Who is Doctor? I still couldn't tell you one single damn thing about his character other than his profession and that he's DTF any time, anywhere.

Honestly, Mueang deserves better anyway. He'll make some lucky person a truly excellent faen someday, he should stop wasting his time on wishy-washy Doctor. The sex doesn't even look THAT great.

Also—it oughta be a crime what the Thai BL industry is doing to Lee Long Shi. Won't someone please rescue him and give him a solid role in a good series?

On the one hand, I like that conflicts aren't drawn out just for the sake of drama. On the other hand: this is a drama; where is the conflict? Did the writers have it in their contract that all issues must be resolved by the end credits?

I am so disappointed in the JengPok story. They both had valid concerns and complex issues, and we can't even get at least two or three episodes to see Jeng wrestle with his hesitancy to come out vs. his love for Pok, and for Pok to enjoy the freedom of being himself and not hiding? I would've even welcomed a slight time jump where Pok got to openly date someone, and Jeng had to do some deep soul-searching to find the strength to come out and make an enormous effort to win Pok back (or stay closeted and let Pok go). That scene at the football pitch felt less like Jeng having had a sincere revelation and more like him panically manipulating Pok into staying with him.

If Jeng isn't ready to be out, that's fine, we all have our own journeys, but he doesn't have the right to keep Pok in the closet with him, and if he truly loved Pok, he would be able to reflect on how worthy his affections can truly be if he insists on keeping his beloved a dirty secret. Jeng deserved that character arc. Pok deserved for Jeng to have that character arc. What we got feels so hollow, so unearned, and actually makes me want them to break-up for good.

Please stop taking Sun Woo for drinks; that boy cannot hold his liquor.

Ah, so we're just going to pack the whole series into the last two episodes. Ok. Why did we waste all that time with eps 1-6??

Please, please, for fuck's sake, someone get Lee Long Shi a new agent.

It was implied he died in a car wreck on his way to the rooftop meeting with Khunkhao.

Well, that was certainly something. I'm not sure what but it was definitely...something.

I appreciate what they attempted to do in this one-act formula, and the concept was clear, but it didn't quite work for me. Perhaps the translations? Or the script itself? Not sure but it wasn't totally unwatchable.

I am convinced Thailand, as a country, is mired in a post-apocalyptic hellscape, re: their wig situation. I have yet to see a single Thai show, of any genre or budget, manage a decent wig. Not even a great wig, just a decent one. A wig that doesn't feel like it should have its own title card in the opening credits.

They even have Ai Yu Fan in this thing! Is she playing the same 'Amy' from "Plus & Minus"? When are Max Lin and Shi Cheng Xuan showing up? Or are we just going to see cameos from actors that played characters in only the Li Pei Yu adaptions? I think the "P&M" leads should get a cameo. Ai Yu Fan was in that and "Be Loved In House", and the "Be Loved In House" leads got a cameo there. Actually, I think every single actor to have appeared on screen so far has had a lead, supporting, or cameo role in two or more of the various series of everyone else in the cast.

Fingers-crossed for a parade of cameos from Taiwan's A+ BLsters.

Bai Zong Yi is 17, a year over Taiwan's age of consent, in his final year of high school, and nearing his 18th birthday. He is also wholly independent and completely self-supporting. By every measure save having reached the age of majority (which was lowered from 20 to 18 only a few years ago), Bai Zong Yi is an Adult capable—culturally, mentally, emotionally, and legally—of making his own free choices about his love life, including if he's ready for a relationship and how far that readiness goes.

I really tried to make that onsen scene work for me by pretending it was LeoFiat but...this show really has destroyed all the fire & chemistry of & between JaFirst.

Still no idea when, why, or how Mueang & Doctor are a "couple" but, honestly, I don't mind. Sex appears to be their dialogue of choice, & it's actually rather refreshing to not be subjected to a fluffy romance simply to "justify" sexual desire. Seems like next week they may actually be forced to use their words; I hope it is immediately followed by them using their bodies, as their NC scenes are the best thing about this series.

Well, second-best now, after all that beautiful snow. We could spend the last few episodes in snow-blanketed Japan and I'd give the show five stars for the scenery alone.

Oh for fuck's sake.

Jeng & Pok aren't getting nearly enough screen time. It feels like I'm watching cliff notes of their story.

Such a strang, strange series.

In most countries, yes. It irked me a bit that they handwaved that aspect. They tried to cover it by having the store use Tammy's likeness to promote ONLY Tammy-approved products, but it did not work for the story.

Even a short scene of them asking her if they could use "Tammy-endorsed" on a single high-margin product, & her subsequently giving them permission to use her brand to promote whatever products she's liked in the last X# of months. would've put that issue to bed quite simply.

I am really enjoying this series but the iQIYI subs are killing me. In a show where language plays such an important role to context, subtext, & humour—not to mention it's an actual plot point—it's blatantly obvious that A LOT is lost in the poor translation.

Anyone watching this anywhere with higher quality translations?

Nawin is a great deal of fun.

Again, Wit, HOW are you alive? They left you unconscious on the floor in a room engulfed by flames in a building that subsequently exploded. The show keeps insisting you are not dead, & you keep doing alive people stuff, but I am just pretty sure you were killed in aforementioned exploding inferno. Your continued existence is...distracting.

Awkward & meandering, & I couldn't list three things about the plot, but everyone got a happy ending, so good for them. I will have no memory of having watched this one.
