That’s partly true but a friend of mine from college set the whole dorm on fire because he was frying a cutlet in the kitchen. Also, people in the dorms used to swipe ironing boards from the rooms and ride them down the hill like sleds—even though it was summer. Correct me if I’m wrong, but in Thailand, university studies begin at age 18. To me, 18-year-olds are still kids; in many countries, you can’t even buy alcohol, go to a club, or vote at that age

Yes, I liked the first episode, unlike the series *Duang with You*, where the first episode was, in my opinion, just so-so; the series won me over after the fourth episode, so it showed an upward trend. I hope the rest of the episodes in this series will be just as good as the first one—or even better.

In the first episode, the company “DMD” really promoted itself. I wonder if the next ones will be similar? Did it bother me today? Not really. Will it bother me later on? Possibly. There was even a little snippet of the Dexx song – ‘Clang, Clang’, hahaha and in the background of various scenes you could see posters for their other series hanging around. But wow! The first episode was really good, and that scene in the bathroom was brilliant. It was followed by another good scene, where Wan was lying in bed with a book or the series’ script. (A scene telling us that Wan is pondering something, or rather a slightly nostalgic scene suggesting to the viewer, ‘Right, the introduction’s over, time for the real plot’ – or maybe I'm overthinking it) And then another great scene, the final one, when Jay appeared in a T-shirt with ‘Euphoria’ written on it, followed by Wan’s reaction to the good news

In my opinion, it would be better to set this story in an A/B/O world, where the rules are clear to everyone. Let’s say Phatsa knows he’s an omega, but he doesn’t worry about it too much because he’s never experienced “heat”—or whatever they call it in the show. Phatsa isn’t stupid; he’s always prepared for anything and carries suppressants with him everywhere he goes. One day, on his way home, he suddenly goes into heat. He’s about to reach for his medication (since he has it with him!), but a group of people attacks him; he defends himself successfully, but the thugs steal his backpack with the medication—and it’s at that very moment that he meets Nakhun. There’s no need to introduce a “enigma” character, an “exceptional” omega, or a “true” alpha into the plot. The series could then focus on the conflict between Nakhun and Phatsa: Phatsa is strong, independent, has a mind of his own, and wants to work, while Nakhun is different—he admires Pathsa’s strength of character and feistiness, but still has specific expectations of a partner. Coming from a traditional family, he values those customs (upbringing plays a big role here) and has a strong instinct to protect and care for his partner. The screenwriters could show how their love story unfolds, with a side crime plot unfolding in the background involving, say, a second or third couple.

Regarding the plotline about Phatsa possibly being pregnant—they did sort of explain how it’s possible (though, to be honest, they could have skipped that part), but did they explain how the baby is going to come out? I hope it’s not the same way it got in there.

There’s one thing I don’t get, maybe I missed something along the way but how could Phatsa not know about the existence of a "hidden" gender? It’s not like it was a tiny group of people, some international secret known only to a chosen few; watching the episodes, it’s clear that absolutely everyone knows about it even children (two little girls in one episode, while ordering drinks at a café, actually asked Phatsa about the second gender). This knowledge is so widespread that Phatsa simply went to the hospital and got tested. So I have to ask: how could he not know? Did he have no internet access? Did no one ever complain to him about their "second gender"? Did he never watch TV shows? Did no one ever feel discriminated against because of it in his presence? Didn't they teach it in school? Biology class? Crime reports -Phatsa had never heard reports about the search for a missing omega? Nothing?


Back in school or at university, did no one ever bring up the subject with him, given how handsome he was?
"Man, being an Omega is hopeless; I don't know if I'll find a good job."
"Same here, my parents are Betas, so we're all surprised by it."
"And what about you, Phatsa? What are you?" one of his classmates asked.

I barely managed to make it to the end of the first episode. I watched it in fits and starts, constantly pausing to check out stupid videos online. Halfway through, I thought the episode was stupid, but I changed my mind by the end; in my opinion, it was neither silly nor boring. That said, the first episode wasn't particularly gripping. It didn't really draw me into the plot, nor did it necessarily make me want to keep watching. Still, many series start off just as slowly before the action picks up, so I’m curious to see the next episode.

- Part 3/4 of Ep 1 was a bit silly, but to be honest, the first episode of Love upon Time felt a bit silly to me too.
- The Next Prince storyline didn't have much flair either, yet it has its fans. I guess we're in for the old "good" DMD. - Joking a little bit, someone has to keep the tradition alive, after all.
- I looked up the director and—oh my god—he’s the one who directed "Secret Crush on You". That show was such a piece of crap. A weirdly mixed bag of crap, though: the supporting characters were portrayed wonderfully (great depiction of the friend group, a somewhat unconventional take for the time), but the main characters were mentally unstable (which isn't funny in itself).

In my country, you buy them at the checkout, among other things, so that the cashier can see them and so that no one damages them on purpose, e.g., pierces them with a needle :) You can also buy lubricant at the checkout. Sometimes, large drugstores have separate sections for condoms, lubricants, and sanitary pads or disposable panties.

But you can also get gum, lollipops, and batteries at the checkout. In fact, you don't have to ask the employee about these items, as they're on a shelf accessible to customers, but these shelves are located close to the cash registers, so theoretically, the employee can see them. You can also buy condoms at gas stations, and yes... on the shelf by the checkout.

Oh my goodness, this is boring, not even stupid, not even something to laugh or complain about :) Boring. I'll give it a chance, though, after all, there were series I only liked after the fourth or fifth episode.

Oh my goodness, you really love this show, and while I don't entirely agree with your opinion, I understand your reasoning and know exactly why you like it. My favorite show is My Stand In, and I could go on and on about why I like it :)

Even though I really like this series, a rating of nine is too high for me

I understand those who dislike the show; the humor is sometimes jarring, I often felt second-hand embarrassment, the sometimes slow-paced plot, the over-the-top storyline, and the unconvincing portrayal of some characters, but I'm on the other side because I really, really liked the show. The first four episodes were awful, I even wanted to quit watching it, but then I got into the story. The only thing I wish I could do was interact with my friends more.

I didn't like the first episode. Too comedic, too over-the-top. And I must emphasize that I'm neither a fan nor a hater of NetJames or NetJJ. I don't care, and never have and even though I just said I didn't like the first episode, I don't understand whypeople are already rating the entire series rating it.
I'm not rating a series yet, because I always, always judge everything after watching the whole thing (with exceptions). The first episode is just the first episode; it often happens that you need to watch a little more to get hooked. This was the case with Duang with You, where for me, the fourth episode was the turning point, and I literally started to like the series.

But getting back to "Love Upon a Time" – yes, I didn't like the first episode, I guess I didn't like the main character's reactions and behavior to the situations he encountered (I don't know, his behavior, or rather his reactions to some things, reminded me of the behavior of characters in typical sitcoms (the worse ones)). Besides that, in my opinion, the acting was so-so (And I'm talking about the acting of all the actors)

The ending of the first episode was a funny moment, my lord, don't let someone who wants to save me from drowning take so long to undress before jumping into the water. I understand that slowing down Phop's undressing was supposed to make him look more awesome, but still... His character was, well, let's just say, out of nowhere in this episode. All the servants were chasing after the fleeing Khun, but Phop didn't have to; he was simply already there.

Plus, Khun's escape was somewhat amusing, because how many people can't catch a man who's not really running away, just running around in circles? And when the servants finally caught Khun and dragged him to Phop and then to the room - the whole scene was unconvincingly acted. I had the impression the child could have broken free and escaped. It's no wonder Khun managed to do so later.

I'm wondering what to think of this series. On the one hand I'm eagerly awaiting the next episodes but on the other I'm not sure if I like it enough to be eagerly awaiting the next ones. It's a light, cheerful comedy with one stronger thread, I think (I don't know how much the series will deviate from the novel). Is it just me who thinks the first episode was oddly edited? I think I've gotten used to the editing in subsequent episodes. So far, I've enjoyed episode 5 the most. Cheerful, but not entirely. I liked how Qin deliberately stared at Yim while saying "I missed you" to Duang. I liked the hiding and beating of the pink teddy bear (which we've already seen in previous episodes). I also liked the emphasis on the characters' physical attraction to each other. Duang twice remarks on Qin's legs, once when he was wearing black pants, and once in Qin's apartment, when Qin sits on the couch after a shower in shorts next Qin admits that he likes the sweet tone of voice Duang sometimes uses on him. I like Qin's dilemmas and struggles with himself, and the fact that Duang isn't always cheerful. We also have a very brief subplot with Pae, suggesting that something is going on behind the scenes. I don't like the characters' overt flirting; it seems to disrupt the show's character, at least at this stage, but I admit it's pleasing to the eye.

I think that focusing more on the group of friends would be better, the second thread that would somehow "interfere" with the description of the friends would be the ongoing investigation and the detectives, and the third, side story would be the romantic thread between the detectives.

You put my thoughts into words

I can't... what a load of crap. I loved the The Heart Killers-related crap, but not this. I cried watching it. I read the novel, and I'm sure many people will disagree, but the brothers' relationship is poorly described in it. In my opinion, it lacks closeness, understanding, and perhaps tenderness? I had the impression that this was an unintended consequence, that there was supposed to be love, but the author failed to deliver. And I hoped the series would fix it, but it didn't. In the novel, Jay ends up in a mental institution at the end it's a shame they didn't show that (It would make more sense to show, at least for a moment, how the boy is trying to cope with all this.). In the novel, in my opinion, the crime story was the main focus, and it was truly gripping, while in the series, it was different. The acting was strange, sometimes unconvincing. Very often, I don't understand the behavior of the characters. Example: why, when you see your friends/your children's friends, dying one by one, why don't you go/send them to safety or provide protection (and some of them had the financial means or the opportunity)? And for Merlin's sake, why didn't Jay cooperate with his brother? Jade, why is the guy you met a few weeks ago more important to you than your brother, whom you supposedly love and care about? So many questions, so few answers.

In my opinion, the most convincing, terrible but convincing character was Champ.

I really enjoyed the first season, but then everything became predictable and repetitive. I'm not saying I didn't like the final season, but subsequent seasons didn't bring me as much joy.

The main character put a lot of effort into avoiding BL situations; that was basically the crux of the show. For the past two seasons, one thought has been nagging me: Why don't you start dating a girl?

I agree :-)

And for me, the ghost of a boy in a rabbit mask, walking around with a bare chest all the time
