I'm tired of Pan and her antics. She certainly has nothing to feel superior about now. So what if Kim cheated on some school tests (which I think we'll find out that something else was going on there) -- she's the one playing with someone's life, and going on a date when she should be trying to figure out how to get Kim's soul back in his own body.

She's being really selfish. She's using the latest body swap to indulge herself at the expense of Kim, while she should be trying to find out what happened to Kim's soul instead.

I'm liking her less and less.

Folks, I'm more confident than ever that WayKim will be real.

And big ups to the director of the scene where Pan/"Kim" is standing in front of the net while Way tells "Kim" how he feels about him. While Way's story refers to the BBQ that they ate while Pan was in Kim's body, Pan is represented on-screen as Pan, because that was all her doing ... but then, when Way starts to tell her how he started to have feelings for Kim as early as their first conversation, the camera moves and it goes behind Way for a couple of seconds .. and when we see "Kim"/Pan again, it's as Kim, symbolizing that there was a history there long before Pan. The disappointment on Pan's (Kim's) face is a nice touch.

The two guys were definitely flirty back then, and while I'm certain that the near-kiss that ended this episode will get interrupted, I think once Kim is back in his body we'll eventually get the real deal.

This episode took the series to a whole new level. Very impressive writing and acting. How many other series could deal with grief, guilt, friendship, loneliness, and joy all within a half-hour? And to think they accomplished it using what's essentially a new genre of storytelling, relying solely on social media.

It also ended with the kind of cliffhanger that I like - one that comes directly from the story and doesn't rely on an artificial event or situation that turns out to be a fake-out of little importance. This was an ending that mattered in multiple ways, and it left me as excited as ever to see what happens next week.

Great stuff.

Great review! Your passion for this series has made me decide to see it.

Are there two movie versions? The one on Viki runs for 1:24:53 and didn't contain any new footage. That running time is also pretty much the same as what you'd get by watching the episodes back to back while skipping the opening and closing credits.

No page for the movie version.

So far the only differences I see are in some of the translations for the English subs, the lack of voiceover narration, and the different music. Otherwise it looks like the movie is just the separate episodes edited together.

I think that removing the narration adds an element of mystery that's rather nice.

I have zero interest in this, and I'm surprised at the number of BL influencers who are promoting this series like it's BL. It's more like GMMTV's graduating class from BL.

In a legal sense it's not possible to "bully" a public figure, at least not in the US. (Maybe it's different in Thailand.) Especially if what you're bringing up is something that actually happened and not made up with the intent of inflicting harm.

What I myself think, say, and do is irrelevant since I'm not a public figure. They've chosen a celebrity lifestyle, so they need to suck it up and realize that even a comment in passing can resonate for years. In some cases it will tarnish their reputations forever.

I'm so gullible, and you're all smarter than me by a mile haha.

I'm with you on that. The way MODC ended gave me PTSD so now I'm constantly wary about a happy series suddenly disintegrating before my eyes.

I was a basket case during the week leading up to the final episodes of 'Where Your Eyes Linger' haha.

That voiceover narration by Mico while he's getting ready to meet with Xavier, where he says that when there's so much happiness around him there will always be a price to be paid later (or something like that) ... it again worries me about where this is all headed.

So far this is the best "audition" reality show I've ever seen. Really makes the ones produced in the US look like pathetic junk that assumes the audience has the attention span of a flea. (Episode 4 of 'Idol Producer' is almost 3-1/2 hours long, and there hasn't been a single wasted moment.)

This gives you a sense of how this series really takes the time to let us watch the process. It doesn't skimp on the actual performances either -- we get to see them from start to finish. (In the States they'd focus only on the high points and the screw-ups.) And of course we get to know the contestants along with their personal issues and struggles.

I've reached only the fourth episode and a big elimination is going to happen soon. I know I will be sad to see so many of these amazing boys depart.

About one hour into Episode 3, where they're handing out the grades for the video performances that the trainees gave for the theme song performance, there's one guy in blue who gets an F and is standing in the front row with the other F's ... and the production blurs him out completely.

Does anyone know why?

This guy has charisma for DAYS ... he needs a major project asap.

I think in terms of the timeline of events the episodes should be in the order of: 2, 1, 3. (Although a good case can be made that it should be 2, 3, 1.)

My theory about the order in which they're presented is that the audience is meant to be shocked to realize at the end of Episode 1 that Peem is actually a ghost, so the circumstances of his death aren't revealed until later. (And in my case this tactic was successful since I knew nothing about the plot before watching.)

Episode 2 is a flashback to show how and why Peem became a ghost, and why Mike would be especially terrified to see him.

I think that Episode 3 comes last because there is a sense of closure between Mike and Peem, as Mike grieves for Peem and apologizes to him, and Peem appears to forgive Mike and disappear.

I'm not sure about the mechanics of the exercise in acting class. Was Mike doing the scene alone and remembering Peem? My best guess is that Peem remained invisible to Mike but got into his head somehow and made him relive the time when they made out. Then he reveals his presence and scares the crap out of him.

Right. You know you’ve got a plot issue if the episodes could be viewed in random order and you wouldn’t even realize something is off. I really like the leads though.

If they kiss as enthusiastically as they did in ‘He She It’ you’ll be glad you stuck around.

Stunningly great. Jeff and Gameplay are perfectly cast. What an original story, and so inventively told! Why such a low rating?

Jeff is who should have played Sarawat. He’s gorgeous, plays guitar, has a singing voice like golden honey, and is not afraid to kiss another boy. Ah, what could have been.

The judging panel noticed things in Daniel's performance that weren't visible to the other contestants as they performed, and they awarded him a high score because of that. I don't know if it was smart of him not to let it slip to at least one person that he had a good score. The boys seem smart enough to know that they should keep the good performers (at least for now.)
