Good question! It would have taken only a few seconds of dialog to establish that. But it’s only a guess on my part.

The plot in this episode has more holes than Swiss cheese but I'm still enjoying the series and hope they'll stay on track for the rest of it.

Amazing, isn't it? They really did a great job there.

I think it's similar to when Michael Corleone kills the mafia boss and the corrupt policeman in The Godfather and has to go to Italy until things cool down. Suer killed a mafia kingpin so he had to be disappeared for his own protection.

Wow ... so dark!

Amen to that!

Job was a lead in Miracle of Teddy Bear and I never expected him to do anything else in the BL space… Very exciting!

"What The Duck" .... 😆😆😆 .... a deep reach into the wayback machine by a BL veteran from the early days! 🙇‍♂️

Charisma for DAYS 🥵

Did anyone else get a kind of "Bad Buddy Lite" vibe from the first episode? It's cute so far but at this point I have to say that's about it. Not a very original story but certainly pleasant enough and, yes, I know it's early, so I'll keep watching and keep an open mind. In a way, though, I have to say I'm okay if it won't have me thirsting for each new episode. There's something to be said for a series that's a nice place to stop by every week while I get more obsessed over others.

And I have to say I know that based on Lovesick I know these guys can really act, so I'm going to assume the cringy performances (Progress's especially) are the director's fault.

The start of an actual Augar-Achi second couple is a welcome development but their intro was pretty dry too. Ken and Paul were my favorite thing in Boys In Love and I'm excited to see them paired up again, but I sure hope there will be a real romantic spark to their storyline this time.

Yes. I will message you.

nice catch!

I suspect some downvoting by people who are mad that Net is no longer paired with James.

So much truth here ⬆

Omg, for the finale every song was pre-recorded and lip-synched. I'm so disappointed. In the first season there was so much electricity in the finale because everything was done live -- dialog, singing, and dancing. Here, the dialog was delivered live but not the singing. During the dialog you could clearly hear them breathing -- the mikes picked up everything. But when the music started it was like everyone had perfect breath control. Patji floated those high notes like Mariah Carey. Nobody faltered even when dancing and jumping around on props.

I bet everything was autotuned as well.

Just compare the Thomas-Kong or Keng-Namping performances from Season One to the dull as dishwater fakery we were given here. Domundi must think we're really stupid.

I think you're remembering the "2Moons" series? The first adaptation is from the dawn of the BL genre so compared to today's series it's lacking.

As it happens, a long time ago I posted a kind of summary of the novel:

Unfortunately the novel is no longer on Wattpad (long gone!) but hopefully my post will give you a sense of how the book differs from the series.

They could not have picked a worse scene from Your Sky for the acting challenge. Fah's character has, what, one line?

And it seems clear to me that Patji is not considering Ryujin as a first choice to be his partner, and Ryujin just embarrasses himself with his endless campaign to make that happen. Does he even spend any time getting to know the other guys? He's much too invested. If Patji does end up choosing him it will be out of pity or just the fear of causing an emotional issue.

Ja is pretty but his acting is bland.

Rewatching this now. Could be GMMTV's best ever. No silly sound effects, tasteful use of soundtrack music, and of course a great story with performances to match.
