Tell me... am I the only one finding the series a chore to watch after EP 8? What to do???? eeek!
I wouldn't say it's a chore, but it feels like a different series than what we started with. The tone and pacing (and even the OST) is very different. Did they decide to go in a different direction mid-stream?
Can't finish. When you only have 6 episodes, please don't waste time on scenes like a lunch with friends that has no purpose (the MC literally had 2 bites and then left and no one else had even eaten), followed by a dinner with Mom that has no purpose other than to talk about the cake.
Also, please stop with endless dialogue exchanges likes I'll drive you home No I'll walk No I'll drive you No I'll walk No I'll drive you....
That tells us ZERO about the characters, the relationship and wastes what little time you have.
Finally, I know this is a Boys Love series, but when every female is shallow and obsessed only with shipping (The boys talk about university, the girls talk about how handsome someone is).you send a horrible message to young girls.
I think they were meant to be complete idiots, not mocking Sikhs. If anyone took that as a serious depiction of…
I'm offended for all minorities that are inaccurately portrayed, stereotyped and most especially shown in negative fashion for "comedy". Racism is not funny.

The implication is that the boys think Sikh men would start a fight. If the boys think this, the writer thinks this. It tells the audience to think that. We can agree to disagree. Comedy is subjective, as are our perceptions of others.

Representation matters. If you show "Sikhs" as the bad guys - even for comedy - you're sending a message. I guess they have no one on staff at GMMTV who cares about these things.
Still loving it, but... I'm not a big fan of the over the top "comedy". They force the actors to go too big, which takes away all authenticity. Even good actors are having a hard time pulling it off here. Wish the direction was toned down a bit. Too much yelling. That said, I did LOL at the brushing teeth scene and the "no hands" popcorn scene. Also found the rapping yaoi twins odd, but kinda funny. Already aching for the next episode.
And I have to agree with "a-" below that the Indian/Sikh/Punjabi scene was offensive and inappropriate.
Just watched the series again for the 2nd time, because I am watching FUTS and remembered how much I loved Phuwin as Morn. He's so dorky adorable here and has grown into a handsome leading man. I'm happy he is now getting to star in his own series. This series has a lot of flaws, but the tender sweetness of the boys' love makes me forgive most of the problems and just enjoy a light love story. LOTS OF FLAWS... and I will say... worst Mother in BL. The fact that she's supposed to be an expert on sex/love and is so close-minded shows the writer didn't really understand their own characters. Alternately, one of the best Dads ever. Love MuadMoo and the relationship he has with all the boys.
Couldn't find the final episode, but was a cute bromance, well 3 bromances. Sweet, surprising. I'm not a big fan of supernatural stories, but these were all done well. Exactly the type of stories I'd expect from little little boys sitting around amusing each other. Would have loved more depth for each story, but went in knowing what to expect and was happily entertained. Will I watch again. No. But only cuz I'll save rewatching for BL series. But this made me appreciate bromance stories as well. A quick viewing for you to enjoy.
In many ways, this episode (#9) felt unlike any other in the series. There's a different tone, pacing, intent. Go back to the first episode and compare, see if you could envision this episode coming from that beginning. The beauty of this series is that this episode still fits perfectly in this world they've created and, as many have said, raised it to a new level. I am doubly impressed with the actual identification as gay. Setting this show in the BL-drama world and allowing the characters to speak their truth with no shame is a wake up call to the industry. What delights and surprises await? Can't wait.
Also, please stop with endless dialogue exchanges likes
I'll drive you home
No I'll walk
No I'll drive you
No I'll walk
No I'll drive you....
