This is a promotional series produced by the Tourist Authority of Thailand, so it might end up being light on story and heavy on scenic cinematography.

I hope the people who complained about Amane being too perky will watch Episode 2 and see how essential that is to the story.

Another JBL that makes use of every second of runtime without a single wasted frame. I'm in love.

And how about that camera angle, straight up into the sky as the sun came from behind the clouds with the last drops of rain? Goodness!

With the countless negative comments on here, mine gets the prize of your retort. I guess I hit a nerve. Sorry.

Haha, yeah it really does have a "Parasite" vibe to it, doesn't it. One by one the positions in the house are getting filled by Sailom and people associated with him, with both Sailom's brother and Name being of questionable character.

Maybe the first chauffeur didn't really quit and he's living in a secret bunker in the basement. 😂😂😂

So, let's have an entire episode that's centered around a crisis that the boys create for themselves, out of their own greed and stupidity, and then expect us to care about their sudden efforts to undo the damage.

And let's have Sailom go along with Kang's plan, in a manner that runs counter to everything we've been told about his character. Oh, but let's make sure he comes to his senses as soon as the episode needs to feature a sappy, sentimental conversation where Kang is suddenly wistful about his dad.

There's such a bromantic vibe that what little physical interaction there is feels forced and awkward. I endure as much cringe as I can before skipping quickly to the end of the scene. Someone might as well have been off-camera, holding up their contracts as a threat so they'd at least press their lips together. I can easily imagine them both washing their mouths out as soon as the director said "Cut!"

I know people on here think the acting is at least good, but I disagree. Not for one second do I think those two love each other. Both actors are phoning it in, and the scenes that don't include them only make that more evident.

How is this lazy effort getting an 8+ score on here?

Suansoon's return from time travel could (and probably should) put him exactly where he was in the timeline before he left.

Assuming he succeeds in changing the future, though, even in that precise moment he should end up in an entirely different place, since Ongsa will not have been in an accident and wouldn't need to be in the hospital.

This one has thrown me off. I have always liked the "age difference" trope but this is a horse of a different color.

With young Ongsa's strong attraction to the older Suansoon I wonder if what the series was going for was a sense that the two are so ideally matched that even though Suansoon is a fullgrown adult, Ongsa is drawn to him instinctively and wholeheartedly. Still, it seems extreme for Ongsa to throw all caution to the wind and open his life so much to a complete stranger, to the extent of even bringing him to where he works and lives. Don't Thai kids learn about Stranger Danger? ^_^

Suansoon bugs me. Since he's the adult, once he realized how much Ongsa is crushing on him he should have taken responsibility and made sure they kept an appropriate distance. Getting too close to the young Ongsa might also screw up the timeline.

The way everyone in Ongsa's life accepts his crush on Suansoon is downright surreal. You've expect them to at least make a COMMENT about the age difference -- but no! They act as though Suansoon is just another student at the school. (Whereas, in that regard, if Ongsa was attracted to a boy who was just one grade ahead of him they'd be talking about how brave he is to chase after a senior.)

Because the Suansoon-Ongsa age difference is completely unacknowledged, the series feels a little like an episode of the Twilight Zone. Real people don't behave that way.

Suansoon should have stopped Ongsa from kissing him. The series could have easily given us a lot of cute scenes where Ongsa keeps trying to get closer to Suansoon while his friends and Suansoon keep him grounded. Instead, now, we'll be wondering how far they intend to take it.

It strikes me that the kiss has happened early in the series. There's a lot of episodes remaining, so we might be in for quite a ride.

I laugh at "long term long distance relationship" every time he says it. "Long term" is something proven by time, and he and that coach guy just got together. (Plus, if the script does the obvious, that relationship will be toast by the end of the series.)

He should be saying "committed long distance relationship" instead.

It was just a tiny thing, but I loved how the flashback left out the part where the useless college friends had the exchange with Yoh and agreed to let him go for drinks and snacks. It kept us right with Mizuki's perspective as he went to catch up with him.

The series doesn't waste a single second on anything unnecessary. Just another aspect of its perfection.

The only suspense now is whether the dad is setting up Sailom's brother to be caught with that watch and thereby confirm his suspicion of "theft".

I see this is a brilliant depiction of two men who are each deeply vulnerable in their own way. I think people overlook Mizuki's hunger for affection because he's more socially capable and perhaps a bit more handsome, but I feel as much sympathy for him as I do for Yoh, and I can't wait to see when they finally both break through their insecurities to be real with one another.

Episode 7 is so good! Offroad and Daou are really convincing as a couple. I'm glad they got together well before the end of the series so we have a chance to see that.

And finally Ngern's character becomes believable and serious. They were wasting his talents in the earlier episodes. The reconciliation scene was beautifully done.

I didn't start watching today until part 4 of 4 was in the middle of it's debut, and I noticed that the viewership dropped significantly with each new part:

Part 1 - 10K viewers
Part 2 - 6.4K viewers
Part 3 - 3.7K viewers
Part 4 - 1.1K viewers

I hope Oxin reviews the numbers and gets the message!

You give me hope! I will watch despite my low expectations and hope the buildup to next week isn't a fakeout.

LOL no comments about today's episode. I came here to see if the plot actually advances this week.

I guess I just got my answer!

This is so bad.

And in what universe is Jason supposed to be unattractive?

Maybe the "dangerous romance" will be one between the big bro and grandma.

I can't get over how fearless that love scene is. I would have bet top dollar that two bandmates would never get into it with such abandon. Much respect!

I must have said "I can't believe it" five or six times.

Amazing.
