Jae is a narcissistic sociopath. He has no feelings for Teh or for his ex. He is all about himself.

At some level a guy like him would be proud of the power he was able to exert and what he achieved by doing it.

I hope the Jae chapter is over. It would be particularly bad writing if he turns up in Episode 5.

I think it's the go-to style to make the characters look young. The boys also have bangs when the character is young and as he gets older the hair gets pushed back from the face.

What a snooze-fest. The director of "Until We Meet Again" must have been hired for this episode. The dialog ... just ... dragged ... out ... with ... eternal ... pauses.

They had 20 minutes of material stretched over 2 hours. I hope the series didn't peak too soon.

I can't argue with anything you say. I've wondered if the lack of skinship was partly due to GMMTV aiming the series at other markets, Mainland China in particular.

I'm looking forward to 'F4: Thailand' because I expect that Bright (and Win, for that matter) will have a chance to show the true extent of his talent. Given how much money he and Win have brought to GMMTV, I hope that GMMTV will let them ease up on the BL. I do sense that Bright in particular isn't comfortable with it.

And how! That's impressive.

That’s so cool! Thank you.

Unfortunately I think that new love will turn out to be a plot device to get Eak to realize he has feelings for Phob. The guy is cute as hell, though. I wish they'd cast him as the copier-store stalker instead of that creepy kid they put in the role.

I agree with everything you've said, except I do like Phob. There's nothing worse than falling in love with a straight friend. (Although I guess we'll eventually see that in this case 'straight' means straight to bed.) And the girl that Eak is chasing needs to buy a hairbrush.

The basketball storyline! Were they introduced earlier? I totally missed it. I felt impatient through all of their scenes.

Night, the new hire in the cafe .... ugh. What a bigmouth busybody, telling that customer about Phob's heartbreak.

Newyear and Both come on too strong with their sweetie-pie performances, and now I guess we're supposed to be concerned that one of them doesn't want to get married. And the copier customer (Fountain, I guess?) is my least favorite character in the series. The cringe is real. The SOTUS senior is a hottie though.

I'm not dropping it either because, like you, I'm enjoying the main trio. And Lukmo is adorable.

Yeah, as soon as ThaiBLFan92 finishes working his ass off subbing the episode, 'readingmanga' will rip it off and post it for the vultures.

Very strong first episode. Funny without being cartoonish, so there's more of a realistic feel. Not quite as realistic as 'With You' or 'Huckleberry Friends', but close.

The Mainland seems to do these school-based dramas better than anyone.

So, if you're on the ThaiBLFan patreon then you know how upset he is that the 'readingmanga' site has stolen his work. Yet here you are on MDL, sending people to that site. You must have commented five or six times about it. Shame on you.

Exactly. (Which is why I rarely beg for a second season of anything.)

For me this was the funniest and sunniest episode yet. The whole portion with Mork at Pi's house was comedy gold! Those three played off each other brilliantly.

To see Pi actually smiling at Mork was wonderful.

I hope they can keep the momentum going.

That was a great scene, no doubt.

I think 'Run On' is a great drama for introducing people to the world of Asian drama. It's one reason I'm so glad that it was on Netflix in the US.

I only wish that Tae Woong and Woo Shik had ended up as a couple. :)

One thing I will say about Bilkin's acting is that it must be difficult to portray an actor who isn't acting well. There's something so 'meta' about it, and the ways in which Bilkin showed that Teh was struggling to embody his character as a fledgling actor were really impressive.

I've liked Oab as an actor since "Spike!" and agree it's moronic to the extreme that anyone would attack him personally due to a character he's playing.

Where is anyone hating on Bilkin? I am seeing only the name of the character he plays.

I haven't seen any attacks here on the actors themselves. And. since you say you hope everyone 'remains' constructive, that seems to say you haven't seen it either. So why direct this at the people commenting? You could just note that this is happening elsewhere without wagging a finger at us.

Well, in a way they do deserve each other. :)
