This was the "Everybody's stupid except Ek" episode.
Win is just getting more and more frustrating. For a 40yo guy he is such an idiot. Nut is disintegrating right before his eyes and he still just passively lets events move along on their own.
The dumbest thing of all is he didn't ask Lin a simple question after her date with Nut: "How did it go?" But Lin is also stupid for not telling him on her own, and of course for lying about how she and Nut are dating.
I'm starting to get the feeling that Chai and Ek will be just a bromance. Which is a shame, because Chai is hot as hell and I wanna see him make out with a guy. 🤡
Cute and campy, with more makeout scenes than any standard Thai BL.
Tbh, about halfway through it occurred to me that for once a BL was showing how two guys in love can't keep their hands (or lips) off each other. Logic and Leo go at it hot and heavy several times. I imagine that between takes Winner and Chris must have had a laugh at all the horny requirements of the script.
The plot is from "Dangerous Liasons", a classic play that was first made into a movie starring John Malkovich and which is now better known from the remake called "Cruel Intentions" that starred Ryan Phillipe. (I'm glad this production didn't keep the ending from the Ryan Phillipe movie.)
Ooooh ... so the same people who brought us "Jazz For Two" also produced this series?
Don't get me wrong -- I'm enjoying this. It just that it's interesting that in both J4Two and here, one of the leads is an unlikeable ass.
In J4Two, the nasty ML never fully redeemed himself (at least not to me). He was a bully almost to the end. I hope this series will make Si Yeol's turnaround more convincing.
(Also, instead of kisses I recall J4Two having only closed-mouth lip touches, so we shouldn't expect anything different here.)
So much development in the Chai-Ek relationship! Will they share a tent during next week's camping trip? If I'm honest I have to say that I'm digging their scenes more than Nut's and Win's.
I saw a comment somewhere that it often seems that the "second couple" in a series is written and acted more authentically than the main couple. In this case I tend to agree. Maybe it's because the screenwriters feel more free to develop the storyline.
But yeah, Bom/Chai is damn hot. I'm so grateful to the director for giving us his gratuitous shirtless scenes lol. What a beautiful man he is. And god he's so tall! His acting hits just right, too -- nailing the sweet spot between tough and tender.
Win and Nut need to make some progress, though. It looks like Lin and Biu might end up together, which will free up Nut to pair off with Win. But Win needs to start being more assertive about Nut's health.
Si Yeol’s evil intent. He makes a lot of bad assumptions and doesn’t care if he hurts an innocent person in the process. Just terrible. But at least it makes the series more interesting.
That hospital flim-flam wasted a lot of time, although I realize it was meant to show that Hiro still cared enough for Natsuo to throw away a career-defining opportunity.
Overall I enjoyed it, especially once we got past the first episodes and Natsuo's vulnerability became apparent, but the storytelling was disjointed and I have to admit that I didn't find Hiro especially likeable.
I occurred to me today that Win is back in his teenaged body but he's still essentially a 40-something man -- a 40-something man longing for a 17yo boy.
In "The Promise of the Soul" there's an even older man inhabiting a young guy's body and hooking up with a young guy, and the viewers over there are much more alarmed about the age difference. (I haven't watched that series, though. I'm just going by the comments.)
Interesting! It makes me wonder how everyone would feel if Win had been 20 more years older before he time-traveled.

Their relationship is being handled much more deftly than the one between Win and Nut.
And what kind of doctor agrees to a minor’s request not to tell his parents about the kid’s condition?

But the turned tables in the end will surely be satisfying.
