Right! I hate the character but wouldn't want anyone to think I feel that way about the actress. She's just doing a great job playing the part of an annoying person haha.

Off to a strong start!

I suspect that the dorm Matron has something to do with the time travel. She emphasized January 30th as the demolition day, which makes me think there will be a race against time at the end of the series for the two guys to meet at the dorm in the present day, and make their time together a permanent thing.

That little kid actor has to be one of the cutest 10 year olds on the planet. It will be funny if the adult Jae Woo meets his own child self at some point. In a lot of time travel stories that's forbidden because it creates a time paradox or something like that.

And so far, no worn out tropes! I thought we might be in for one when Ji Hoon was eying the food on his friend's lip while they were eating together, but we got out of that unscathed haha.

Presumably the adult Jae Woo now knows the name of the killer. I hope they make quick work of that and focus on the relationship instead of on Jae Woo trying to thwart the murder of Ji Hoon.

The trailer gives off a "My Boy" vibe. I'm keeping expectations at a reasonable level.

I don't suppose there will be an extended cut of the finale where we get the "clothes drying" scene? 🤭🤭🤭

Asuka is the best wingman ever, and fully deserves the happy ending that he got. Even the teacher gave a nice impression in his final appearance.

The series itself might have been stretched beyond what the story needed, but now we can skip the repetitive and annoying parts when we watch again.

nice catch!

Indeed.

And your question as to how nobody saw a shrimp in the pasta is very good, but in keeping with this show’s indifference to common sense I’m sure we’ll never know. 😂😂😂

The epilogue scene after the end credits shows how the shrimp began its journey into the pasta. I'm pretty sure that Pie didn't overhear Khim and Sun talking about Khim's food allergies, but if he did and went to buy that shrimp on purpose, that makes him a very bad person indeed.

I'll be surprised if there's not a season 2

She is shady for sure.

My theory: the father will die and Rain will have to take over running the business. It will change him, and when he returns to Payu he will relate to Payu much less. Perhaps Rain will even have a girlfriend. Payu will eventually think all is lost and start to distance from Rain. Maybe he'll get a girlfriend too. And this will make Rain finally come to his senses.

This will be a nice diversion every Sunday but I'll probably forget about it during the week.

Both leads are unlikable and to me they're not that attractive, so I guess it will be a good idea to have them leech off each other instead of the rest of the student body.

I've known guys like Fah, and from what I've seen they sleep around not because they haven't met the right guy yet, but because they need the affirmation that comes with seducing people. It's the chase that matters most, and once the pursuit of their latest prey has succeeded they get antsy because the deeper need that drives the behavior isn't being addressed.

In their pursuit of conquest they also have no problem making other guys think they're interested in them for real, if it helps with the end goal. This is what makes them immoral, not the sex per se.

I'll be impressed if the series ends up dealing with this kind of intimacy issue in a thoughtful way, but so far it seems that the behavior of both guys is being romanticized. "Who was Fah with last night? Who did he dump last week?" They'll expect viewers to swoon over the mere fact that they both finally found true love in one another. Yuck!

I do like the side couples, except for the m/f one, and that's because the female half is yet another tiresome fangirl whose adoration for Fah only feeds that romanticization narrative that I'm so wary of.

Since commenters are weighing in on the comparison to "Check Out" ... as unpromising as this is, it's only the first episode, and I couldn't even finish the first episode of "Check Out". For now I'll keep watching "Fahlanruk" for the m/m side couples. I'm willing to change my mind about the main couple if their story manages to take on some unexpected depth.

I think maybe Mork told him when they were on the bridge together after the bike ride?

Very impressed with this.

True fact. Ditching "ASS PLAY" and sticking to Gaga for this series.

I think they did a nice job with the twist of how Puen finally realizes who Talay is. When I rewatched the first episode a couple of weeks ago I figured the hat would be a factor and it was nicely integrated into the story.

Now that Puen is going to tell Talay his real name, you know that Puen will be snatched back to the other universe before he does it.

As soon as those shirts made their appearance I knew there'd be a tie-in. But the hat too ... I guess it makes sense.

I think it's just to have fun with viewers like us. There was some speculation that GMMTV has been doing it because ratings were low, but it's been part of the series since the start.

A BrightWin cameo would surprise me since I get the impression that they have moved on from BL.

and the photo section was turned into a Vogue fashion spread ... thank god this is all behind us now
