Thanks for the info! This would explain what Itt was holding in his hand after he asked Pai that question.

I did notice that the trailer shows them arguing about that damn activity room again lol. I guess Itt didn't know that the teacher persuaded Pai to tutor him by promising that Pai's group would get the room if he managed to get Itt into college.

Which might mean that Itt will conclude that any affection shown by Pai was part of an act ... but then why would he care about keeping that promise.

I look forward to seeing how this gets sorted out! :)

I love the chemistry between MaiWan. I think you're right about Wan feeling extra hurt over Mai's leaving.

What do you make of Mai's comment after that first conversation? After Wan walks away Mai says something like 'Forget it? Fine. Then I won't be your friend.' I want to think he means 'I'll be MORE than a friend, just wait and see,' and that he'd been attracted to Wan for a long time, because the next time we see them together they're drunk and in bed.

Real talk, I can't get enough of Mai's sexy body. I appreciate all the scenes where he gets to show it off. Wan's a lucky guy. ;)

I think that bit about North studying abroad was his mom wanting to keep the truth (that he nearly drowned in the pool) from his friends.

Your point of view is interesting because for me it seemed obvious that the script started out as a BL then for some reason was toned down. Very little was left for the viewer to fill in -- they could hardly have spelled it out more clearly if it was in neon letters flashing in the background of every scene. :)

I do believe that Puen was in love with Singha and eventually fell in love with Than. With Singha in particular his emotions were so over the top, both at the restaurant buffet and of course after Singha's injury. Puen practically had a breakdown over that. And once he accepted Than, he went all in. Than had access to Puen that Puen would give to nobody else. I think I remember a scene where Jern was dying to be let into Puen's apartment and he wouldn't oblige, but Than got the red carpet treatment lol.

Jern finally figured things out in the final episode when she stumbled upon Puen and Than after the big game. She saw how they looked at each other and how intimate they were, and she went around the corner to start crying because she finally realized that Puen would never be hers.

Add in Puen's comment about not caring about the gender of the person he'd fall in love with, and I think one would have to be willfully disregarding tons of evidence to say that love between boys wasn't a subtext of the entire series. Peun's comment wasn't a throw-away -- it was there for a reason, just as Jern's moment of crying was there for a reason.

That being said, I knew going in that this wasn't a "true" BL, whereas you had the unfortunate experience of having those expectations only to have them dashed. I wonder how much that might have influenced each of our impressions of the series.

I just realized we're 1/3 of the way through the series and we're still in the flashback to high school.

I need to know what the 'promise' is that Pai made to Itt and why they're no longer friends at the start of uni. (And why it seems every student from their high school ended up at that uni lol.)

It's definitely taking a while for him to appear, considering we're now 1/3 of the way through the series.

Murai is a total creeper ... I'm Team Kato all the way

If you've watched 'Capture Lover' then you'll get a sense of the production values and writing of this movie. There's some crossover in the casting too, so maybe the same studio did both. The story has some implausible moments (to say the least) and a few plot holes. And the ending? It's 'happy' but there's no explanation of how a certain character manages to show up all of a sudden, so it feels a bit like the last scene was tacked on so we'd all be smiling as the final credits start to roll.

If you're in the US you can watch it on GagaOOLala now.

You did good!

Subs up for Episode 2 already!... Good job, GMMTV!

Indeed. So far this is making all the right moves. Of the currently airing web series this could easily turn out to be the cream of the crop.

No Mai in Episode 8! So disappointing, but it looks like he's back in fine form next week.

I think it was a nice creative touch. People complain about BLs always doing the same thing. Not here.

He's in the very opening of the series as one of the three guys chasing after Tae Joo.

He was one of the two flunkies who chased after Tae Joo at the very beginning (so maybe running is a favorite theme for him haha) and he shows up a little later too, before Gook goes on his date.

But really short shorts ... so short that they need to have 'support' built into them, if you know what I mean ... lol

Thank you for asking. I did watch Still 2Gether and appreciated how much they worked to address the flaws in the original series so soon after the original had finished. I wonder if that's ever been done before.

What I'd envisioned for their way to 'own' the high-five in Still 2Gether was for Sarawat and Tine to be ready to do another high-five then stop themselves short, looking each other in the eye and saying simultaneously 'Nah, on second thought, let's not.' It would certainly have gotten an appreciative laugh out of me!

What I didn't expect was not only one, but two big kisses! The fact that they saved those for the very end was a clear signal that they wanted to undo the damage of the high-five at the end of 2Gether. I give them so much credit for that, and it did take away some of the sting I felt over the original.

While Bright's acting was better in Still 2Gether I still think he wasn't completely comfortable playing in a m/m relationship, so I'm looking forward to 'F4 Thailand' when he'll be the lead in the Thai version of 'Boys Over Flowers'. I bet he'll do really well in that part. (I just hope the FL has enough charisma of her own to play opposite him.)

And a friend request is most welcome! :)

She needs a backbone transplant, STAT

I smell sabotage -- so my "9" is about to become a "10"
