It has surprised me how much the tone of the series has changed from light-hearted and cute to dark and grieving. It does seem like the last three episodes will have to be centered around illness and grief, and the audience for that kind of drama isn't always the same as one for a romantic comedy. At least they didn't do what MODC did by making joy turn tragic without warning in the final episode.

I think your predictions on the final episodes of Gameboys are at least in the right ballpark. The reunion at the end will be bittersweet, though. At this point I can't imagine how they'd be able to end on a light note now that they've come to the edge of the abyss. In fact, I think if they were to try to do that it might come off as insensitive given the direction they've taken the series.

They used up four segments to do what they could have done with just one but at least the BL hopes are still alive ... for now.

We'll have to see if all the big names can salvage a concept that seems straight out of Screenwriting 101.

While trying to learn Thai I discovered that teachers are revered in Thailand and are considered to take an active role in raising a child to adulthood. This is probably the reason why a student's misbehavior outside of school can result in a punishment at school.

The show producers were at least careful enough not to put Kim and his teacher in an actual physical relationship. If they made it seem like they've been intimate with one another then I think they'd have a real problem on their hands.

Nonetheless, the additional disclaimer that suddenly showed up at the start of each episode was probably necessary after the teacher-student relationship in the series was revealed.

"It doesn't feel right that poor Way falls in love with Kim but he is not really there."

I love this point! I never thought of it that way.

This has been my feeling as well. The ending of Episode 7 threw me off, though, and the preview for Episode 8 looks like the focus is shifting to Khett and Pan's relationship. It's great to have Ohm playing Khett but as a character, Khett is boring.

I don't expect BL from start to finish and I have been loving the series too.

However! If it finishes with only m/f couples and treats the BL tease only as parody, I will feel betrayed. Unfortunately, I think there's a good chance that once Kim recovers we'll watch Way come on to him and see Kim reacting in horror -- and the whole thing being played for laughs.

I appreciate parody as much as anyone ("YYY" for example) but there's a point where parody can become mockery.

I'm like you. They are such a great duo and I was waiting for this drama to start airing. Their chemistry is so good it makes me wonder what their relationship is like off-screen.

They seemed to really enjoy their kissing scenes in Wait My Youth ... lol

At Ep 3 and loving it so far. But I had to comment about her doctor, who is probably the most unethical psychologist working in all of China lol, initiating a meeting with her boss then giving him a complete rundown on her diagnosis.

Since the credits show him on his knee proposing to her, I think it will be happy. ;)

I'll watch anything with Zhao Yi Qin but I don't know if I'm ready to see him paired with anyone other than Li Jia Qi.

I was looking for 'Where Your Eyes Linger' and couldn't find it and I'm not allowed to add it.

Mond <3

No personal attacks, please .. he is a homophobe so in my book he's the lowest. You're free to keep adoring him. I won't comment on what that says about your own intelligence. ;)

If it's not directly produced by them it's likely financed from the same pile of money as GMM TV by GMM Grammy.

That's a distinction without a difference.

So I'm imagining "GMM 25" as the Original Network designation?

It's the same conglomerate.

Right. When Way and Kim had their BBQ together, Way opened up about how Kim was the only one who could make him smile and laugh, and he admitted that he'd never gotten intimate with his gf. These are things that were true well before the body switch happened.

Also, I don't think it would be realistic for Way to go from straight guy with a girlfriend to crushing on his best friend -- and breaking up with his gf -- after Pan had been in Kim's body for just a few days.

I don't like how Ep 7 ended. Up until that final scene I really thought that Soda had talked Pan/"Kim" into reciprocating with Way. That would have been fun to watch.

But now the switch-back is going to make this just another het romance series and that sucks. While they're nice characters, I really don't give a rat's ass about Khet and Pan getting together as a couple. Snoozefest!

All the drama and anticipation got drained from the series within those few seconds. Now I'm not so much eager to see what happens next week, but afraid.

It's great to see them together again! Power couple!
