You could either A. Scroll through all the comments and you will find many good explanations behind Kiyoi’s…
I've read several of those comments. To me many of them come across as excusing an abusive husband who beats his wife, all because he feels "jealous" and you can see the hurt in his eyes.
A series that requires reading the book version in order to understand it is not a successful series. I think anyone who needs to cite the book to make a point is conceding this.
S&M just doesn't appeal to me, I guess. I recognize that Kiyoi and Hira are in a kind of dance where it's not clear who is leading whom, but by taking the "S" role Kiyoi has his level of disturbance more on display, breaking social norms. As someone who was bullied when I was younger I find him very unlikeable for it, and it's dismaying to see his behavior excused or even romanticized.
I'm going to keep watching because I'm curious how they'll bring this train into the station. What revelation will make the sympathy for Kiyoi suddenly pour from my heart? The series on its own is quite compelling. For now I just think the happy ending would have to be that Kiyoi and Hira part ways and never see each other again.
I hope someone who's a genius at analysis will write a masterpiece of a comment that lets me see a sympathetic or even passably likeable side to Kiyoi. What an arse. If there really are just six episodes for this series then it has a lot of work to do.
Dropped it. I have loved the other School franchise dramas but this is such a schematically written kiddie show that I feel condescended to. From the beginning the FL was annoying AF and then the "suicide" stunt by the writers put me on a downward slide that I never recovered from.
Yo Han's acting got better though. That's a plus, but not worth 16 episodes of torture. So that's that.
I know I might be in the minority, but about that mixture of kinky stuff and product placement I'm certainly not…
It's the most seamless accommodation for product placement that I've seen in a Thai series, and I appreciate how much thought they put into that. Those manufacturers make this series possible.
To thank them I'd like to buy their stuff but due to lack of access it could only be the printer. Can't swing that. :)
High key want pat to pummel wai till he’s nothing but a heap of blood and mangled skin.;)
It seems we tend to forget that the very first scene in the series was Pat's gang ready to pummel Wai, who was alone. And later on Pat's gang picked on Wai in his workplace where he was without his own crew and bound by an employee's duty to treat customers with respect.
There's plenty of blame to go around. I think hating on any of the friends individually is pointless because they all have nasty tendencies and contribute to the pack mentality.
Guy is not his supervisor. He is kind of his senior but not that much. They are assigned to a common project,…
I too have liked that the guys are good-looking but not godlike. Thanks for mentioning that.
And that's a good point about the dynamic between Guy and Nut. I don't mind a coworker hitting on me if I'm also attracted to him, but if I'm not then it would make things really uncomfortable, I would have advised Guy to be more subtle to start with. :)
Seems I'm in the minority by enjoying this. It lacks polish but I'm interested enough to see it through.
I'm a little uncomfortable with Guy hitting on Nut so relentlessly when Guy is supposed to be his mentor/supervisor/senior. Anytime an employee can use rank to compel a co-worker to go along with them, say, to a bar for some socializing seems wrong.
And is it just my dirty mind thinking there was one shot where they wanted us to believe that Guy was giving an appraisal of Nut's dick? Guy is seated with the back of his head to us, facing Nut, while Nut is standing in front of Guy with his face above camera range. As a result Guy's head is at the same level as Nut's crotch.
Then there's this exchange:
Guy: "I think it's too big." Nut: "But I think it's the proper size." Guy: "It's too big for me." Nut: "Then what are you going to do?"
The camera angle changes and we see they're talking about Nut's architectural model and not his manhood. Cue the laugh track.
It's cute, I guess, but the rest of the production lacks that playful kind of humor so I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of viewers missed it.
I loved the scene at the market. You just know that the clowning around and banter was Ohm and Nanon playing off each other like they do in real life. That was probably the direction they were given by P'Aof in the first place: do your own thing, guys, and we'll just follow you around with a camera.
Does anyone know if the tattoo on Singto's arm is real, or is it there for the series?

Nut's unawareness about Mick is pretty extreme!

It seems like Phap will slowly show Maze that there's more to life than money. Both couples are interesting and I have to say it: Yacht is HOT.
Episode 1 was good enough for me to check out Episode 2, but now Episode 2 has reeled me in and I'm hooked.
This one is gonna be historic. We'll be able to tell future BL generations that we were there when it first aired.
