Yeah, seeing Mark getting drunk kinda pissed me off because of the way it regressed the character.

I also don't think that Vee would have really been so willing to get smiley and touchy with Ploy at that photoshoot knowing that Mark was watching. Ploy was the atomic bomb that destroyed Mark and Vee's relationship with that one-sided kiss. After that, Vee should have been wary of her in any circumstance where they would be seen together. Including at that bar.

Theories don't spoil anything, unless you're secretly part of GMMTV staff and are leaking secrets. And even then we wouldn't know for sure.

A "spoiler" has to reveal something factual about the show/book/movie based on having already seen or read it.

Anyway, your theory is interesting!

In this series Ohm and Nanon have had few scenes together, and even then we got only glimpses of the characters' faces as played by Ohm and Nanon, almost as though it was mainly intended to educate the audience as to who was who before they started to focus mainly on Sea and Jimmy. So there was little opportunity to show their chemistry, such as it is.

Honestly, I think Ohm and Nanon are over-hyped as a pairing, and Nanon as an actor in general. So that's undoubtedly coloring my opinion, just as your enlistment in the Ohm-Nanon Army is coloring yours. But I didn't miss them in Episode 3 and I'm perfectly fine with how Sea and Jimmy are playing their roles.

Well, we know that Tun is such a bad singer that he makes people wince. That should have a big impact on Puen's career as an idol. 😆😆😆

With Episode Three, I'm starting to feel invested in the story.

I do think that Puen started to fall for Talay right after they met. He puts them in so many situations where he seems to want to force Talay's hand, the bathtub scene being the ultimate example. How could anybody not realize that a guy who insists on taking a bath with you wants to be more than friends?

I hope the series spends only half of its time in the alternate universe then brings us back to the original one to show us how the guys search for one another. As I watch I'm trying to guess what phrase or behavior will turn out to be the thing that gives them a breakthrough. Will it be one of the phrases written on the back of the bike helmets? Or the tag line that Puen came up with for the movie script? Or the bit about what it means to prefer a chicken leg to a chicken wing? Or something yet to come, or some combination of things?

I think one of them will overhear the other referring to something specific that could only have come from the alternate universe and have a revelation. I hope it will be that megastar Puen has a chance encounter with Talay, at which point Talay unknowingly triggers recognition in Puen, because there are so many romantic ways that could play out, like Puen saying something from the performance stage to get Talay's attention and reuniting with him that way.

I think the chemistry between the guys is great. I look forward to the HEA.

(I guess I'm expecting a very romantic ending. The potential is certainly there.)

People complain about all BL plots being the same then pout like little kids when one comes along that does something different.

Episode 9 .... ** REALLY, there are Spoilers below **

WeTV made me pay separately for Parts 1 and 2, to the tune of 99 cents each.

The first half is pretty much a waste of time, like an episode of a 90's sitcom where the dimwitted leading man makes a stupid bet and ends up losing, but comes out a winner anyway. It's like they let some unemployed screenwriters from the US come in and mess with a good thing while the official writers took the day off. Out of nowhere they introduce a ridiculous boxer character who, if he was really a Thai national champ, would mean that boxers in Thailand couldn't beat your little sister in a fight.

And I really don't get why Mark would let this obnoxious boxer guy and Vee make a bet involving Mark without stepping in to tell them both to buzz off.

The whole first half is really dumb.

Part 2 of Episode 9 makes up for it. Mark forgives Vee, and we get a nice dose of fluff. Even Vee's dad redeems himself in a really nice way. (They don't explain his turnaround, though.) It all ends with a cliffhanger that you'll see coming from a mile away, and which I'm pretty sure will be happily resolved within the first couple of minutes of Episode 10.

It does seem like Episode 10 is being set up as the finale. Mark wants Vee to meet his parents, which I'm sure will end up going well, and since the issues with Vee's dad are resolved in Episode 9, it would be pretty cheesy for them to feed us another round of misunderstandings and breakups to fill two more episodes.

They reconcile at the end of Part 1 of Episode 9. The second half of the episode is very sweet and ends on a predictable cliffhanger that I'm almost positive will also resolve in a positive way.

So is War... ^_^

Outstanding review. This is what reviews on here should aspire to be. Great job!

Just wonderful in "My Coach".

Well, that trailer certainly shoots this to the top of my most anticipated!

It's actually better fakery than I've seen in a lot of Cdramas.

The attempt to portray orchestra conducting looks similarly absurd. Even if they couldn't afford a music consultant to coach the actors you'd think they'd ask them to watch a few YouTube videos to get the gist.

In the movie version of "Call Me By Your Name", toward the end of the film Elio and Oliver hike toward a waterfall that represents the powerful, enduring love that they feel for one another. (This from a podcast interview of the producer of the film, although probably not his exact words. I was obsessed with CMBYN when it was first released.)

I'm all about a feisty Fluke as well. :)

I decided to try submitting corrected English subs to iQIYI for the Ashing-Mangkorn scenes in Episode 5. The last time I did that was for another series where the subs caused a crucial moment between two characters to come off completely wrong -- and iQIYI accepted them! So we'll have to see if they do that here, too.

If they do take them, I'll go back and work on the earlier scenes for those guys too. I don't know if I could tackle the Athit-Sun scenes. My brain might go numb.

I have been wondering if the performances here might be an ill omen for Between Us. That said, this script really is awful, and the badly translated subs make it worse.

Try a VPN into Taiwan.

Yes, Ton is on another level entirely. Next week they lighten his hair. I suppose it says something that I'm looking forward to the episode based on that alone.

Well, that and Kom-Baiboom.

I don't know. I think they're neck and neck. :)
