For those concerned about a power dynamic affecting the relationship, in the trailer it looks like Jeng leaves the company where he worked with Pat before anything romantic happens. I'm curious about the scene where they're both wearing jammies and eating together, though.
If not for the charming developments between Khan and Thua we could have skipped the four or five episodes before this one and not missed anything. Clearly a lot of you enjoy the banter between Ayan and Akk but for me even that is pretty much the same schtick each week, with Ayan perhaps making a little progress compared to the week before.
I know a series is problematic when I can imagine a parody version that wouldn't have to change much. The "Curse", the burning effigies, the evil principal and teachers, Ayan pushing his face close to Akk's, Akk's reaction .... comedy gold.
The series had a strong start but is stuck in a rut now. What exactly is Ayan doing to find out about his uncle's death? He gives the cause a lot of lip service but he's not proving himself to be a very good detective.
Geez! It seems we're back to that same old discussion of whether Sky was forced to have sex with Prapai. Hmm!…
I won't rehash what I already said in earlier comments, but if Sky telling Prapai to "bring it on" after Prapai says the night isn't over means Sky doesn't want to have sex, then I am living in a Vice Versa universe compared to you. :)
I'm curious what he would have needed to say or do for you to believe he was consenting to that second round.
The thing is, the Consent Police will always be on patrol. Sometimes it's exhausting to have to sift through the…
I saw that person's reply to your other post and almost responded but knew it would just provoke more argument rather than exchange ideas.
If I had the same gift for reading the minds of fictional characters I wouldn't have to rely so much on the dialog they speak and the behavior they exhibit. :) And based on those two factors it was clear that Sky knew what he was choosing and was totally up for it.
Can everyone please stop saying Prapai forced Sky? You need to listen to the dialog:S: "What do you want?"P: "It…
The thing is, the Consent Police will always be on patrol. Sometimes it's exhausting to have to sift through the rubbish comments about imagined coercion. As the saying goes, if the only tool you have is a hammer then everything starts to look like a nail.
I'm glad that neither of the guys had had a sip of alcohol before their encounter, otherwise we'd be at a whole other level of finger-wagging.
Oh my, I'm so tired to read about "forced" sex. I call it BS. Sky wanted to have sex with Prapai. Nobody forced…
Seriously. All the cluck-cluck-clucking on here is so predictable. It's amazing how these people think everything is coerced unless both participants sign and notarize a consent form. I was surprised at the signals Sky sent as he was pushed against the side of that truck -- I saw it as him figuring that the situation wasn't ideal for him but here's this hot stud who's looking for a tumble, so why not. He could have easily broken away from the situation and run his ass off to get away, but he didn't show any sign whatsoever of wanting to do that.
Then there's the people analyzing the NC choreography, like wondering how someone can get fellated if he still has his jeans on. If you're a guy then you know how that is possible LOLOLOL. (I've always believed that button-fly jeans are a thing precisely because they make such an encounter more comfortable.)
The way this series can so easily take off in a new direction that delights me!
With just a few deft strokes we get such a vivid and touching portrait of Tanaka, who until now could be dismissed as just another prince of the classroom who's used to getting whatever he wants. The change in his demeanor once he realizes that Takara and Amagi are for real -- that mixture of regret, jealousy, and longing -- could hardly have been depicted better.
And I wonder if his act of chivalry in saving the shy girl from the goons in the hallway is something he would have done before he'd learned that his friend is in a relationship with one of the other shy kids in their class.
Plus the hint that at first he would have required Amagi to sleep with him to earn his silence... I respect the fact that once Tanaka found out that things are serious between Amagin and Takara he dropped that attitude entirely.
And, on a side note, I like how Takara now readily confides in the World's Best Wingman, Katori.
It seems that every week I keep saying that the new episode is my new favorite. I need to just accept that this is a great series that has proven to be so much deeper than a lot of the other JBLs that we've been treated to lately. I put this right up with there with Old Fashion Cupcake.
I like the premise of the Prapai-Sky story better than Phayu-Rain. A plot that depends on one of the characters being a campus god can backfire bigtime because (a) not everybody is going to think the actor is godlike, and (b) it's shallow.
The idea of a hot guy pursuing unwilling prey is more believable and more fun.
I was bowled over by Sky's aggressive sexual side. Didn't expect that at all!

And then I remembered back to when that scene was first teased in a preview for that episode and how excited I was .... too funny.

Really like the opening OST too.
