Well, for the shaving scene I'm sure the beard was already 100% gone (if it was ever really there - I think it was just makeup) and the shaving cream was on smooth skin. So, Tian would have been able to 'shave' the chief with a scrap of cardboard haha.

To me this seems particularly plausible when you realize that when filming they need to do multiple takes with different camera angles.

But I was wondering the same thing about the travel. Why not go home to his mom and celebrate the new year, then return to the village? Problem solved.

You summarize it just right. This series is a bit of a marvel in disguise. I feel grateful for staying with it.

Those college photos made him think that his dad and Prab's mom knew each other in college and that his dad might have been having an affair with her while Chol's mom was alive.

But if his mom died I don't understand the divorce certificate. Maybe he was planning to divorce her but then she died?

I agree - Mix is phenomenal. And kudos to the director for working so well with him and eliciting such a great performance from a newcomer. Mix is like BL's Timothée Chalamet. :)

This episode alone could be nominated for several Oscars. The writing, acting, direction ... this series sets the highest standards.

I'm so grateful that they didn't cut it down to one hour and instead took the time to tell the story. For me that's an acknowledgement by GMMTV that they know they have something special here. I hope this inspires them to put as much loving care into some future series.

It will be hard to say good by to '1000 Stars'.

I hope the only evil turns out to be Aoey’s dad

The series producer (maybe it was the director) saw the negative feedback on the sound effects after the first episode and toned them down in later episodes.

I want to see him without that shirt. (¬‿¬)

I like how the stereotypical 'evil' character has been made more complex and sympathetic in their own way. I can't imagine how messed up he must be after growing up in a family like that.

Gawd, what if he's the sister's boyfriend? That might explain why he was seated next to her at dinner and didn't intervene when Aoey's dad was melting down. The only time he acted nice toward Aoey was when they were alone. It would also explain why Aoey came to his senses after their kiss and pushed him away.

Excellent summation of Mhok. Hot as hell but caution advised.

I use SurfShark which performs flawlessly but unfortunately it's not free.

This just got waaaayyy more interesting.

Enemies to lovers is my drug of choice. This is gonna be epic.

ikr!!

I was on another site where somebody speculated that the reason Tae won't let Nite II kiss him is he's afraid that Nite II will disappear like Nite did.

lmao - yes that gnome story did seem kinda random

He might prefer non-friction, in which case you could improvise with the suntan lotion.

I think you guys need me for this project so I can help with these matters.

Alas, I bet they're all LINE-ing with their girlfriends lol.

I'm conflicted about Nite II. Honestly, when he was showing Tae how to cast a fishing rod I half expected him to push Tae into the water. He seems a little stalker-ish.
