I hate, hate, hate, hate, HATE when a character just stares at their phone while it's ringing and ringing and ringing and ringing over and over and over and over.........
It's not just this drama, either. I see it ALL THE EFFING TIME in different series and it drives me IN. SANE.
I love this series in so many ways. It's the best BL I have seen in a long time. 10/10 for me. It was so refreshing to see a young, but mature-acting BL couple that COMMUNICATES and gives each other time to figure things out. It's an incredibly rare thing in dramas, period, but especially in BL series.
But they had to also look for the right actors to portray that kind of relationship. And they found them.
What a golden day that was, when someone at GMMTV said....."William and Est would make a great pairing. Let's give them a try." And the result was pure magic. Wow, wow, wow.
In Ep 13 - did anyone else cry during their concert? I was so touched by how deeply they felt for each other, and how, once Thame realized what was happening and realized there might be some hope after all, he was right there, body and soul, with his fellow members singing their hearts out directly to the company, saying "We - all 5 of us - are MARS. We are ONE, and we need to be together, not separated. Listen to us. Listen to OUR dreams. Listen to OUR hearts."
I was a mess. But in the best possible way.
I am so sad to see this series end, but I think the ending was just right. Oh, it made me so happy.
You really outdid yourself with ThamePo, GMMTV. Seriously, you really did. Thank you.
I'm so confused. I think I need a white board and some flow charts to sort all of this out.

1) Jung Da On apparently is the love interest of all THREE of the other main characters? Do I have that right?
2) Kim Su Hyeon (the seemingly violent, stalker-ish one) is actually in love with Da On, but he made some kind of contract with Sin Jae Min (the Professor / Da On's college mentor) that NEITHER of them would try to date Da On?
3) Does that ^^^^ confirm what I said in my question #1, above, where I said Jae Min ALSO cares about Da On?
4) But why did they make that contract? And why is the contract still in place for over 7 YEARS????
5) And why did the contract come with the provision that Jae Min and Su Hyeon had to pretend to date each other?
6) What is at stake that they BOTH have to stay away from having a relationship with Da On (assuming he would choose one of them after being threatened by Su Hyeon and so coldly rejected by Jae Min) ?
7) Are they actually PROTECTING him in some bizarre way from something we don't know about, yet?
8) And what was that phone call from Jae Min to his mother......who somehow knew that Su Hyeon had taken over the company where Da On works? Why would his mother know about that?
9) And then there's Ju Seong Hyeon, who has a heart of gold and is the only place of sanity and safety for Da On in this crazy 4-way convolution.
...........................so many questions.
But I am LOVING this twisted, toxic mess so much. It's very intriguing, and I can't wait to see more.
is it just my imagination, or does Gun get the biggest jollies out of watching the brothers argue. 🤣🤣🤣…
He DOES, lol. And I love it.
Santa is so natural in his role, I wonder how many of his actions / reactions are ad-libs. At least a few of them seem to be, and I can totally see why the director would keep them in there.

Either answer the damned phone or TURN IT OFF.
They used my synopsis! I hope people find it more helpful than the previous (incorrect) one someone else wrote.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUESTION:
The series description is poorly written and in fact, completely wrong in one part - specifically this:
"Park Mi Jeong is a woman who wears pretty clothes and enjoys complete freedom. "
I wrote a new series description and submitted it a couple of days ago. I got the "we received your submission!" message, so I know they got it.
Does MDL ever actually update / correct the series descriptions?
But they had to also look for the right actors to portray that kind of relationship. And they found them.

Even as unhinged as Su Hyeon is, you at least can tell how he's feeling at any given moment.

And an AMAZING soundtrack. The "Backpacker" opening OST by ZB1 is SO freaking good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B93veLfx3aU
If there's a season 2, PLEASE make the soundtrack just as good as for season 1. It REALLY added to the whole experience.
Santa is so natural in his role, I wonder how many of his actions / reactions are ad-libs. At least a few of them seem to be, and I can totally see why the director would keep them in there.
But there's some kind of sound multiple times a minute, in many parts of each episode. It's INCESSANT.
If the director is trying to create a comedic effect, he's actually doing the exact opposite.
*Boinggg!!" "video game noise" "maiow" "drum snare noise" "eyes blinking noise" "car brakes noise" "plush toy squeeze noise" "Boinggg" again, etc etc etc etc.
They NEVER STOP.
It has (generally) been better in the previous eps, so.....WTH ??
But does anyone else think PJ actually looks like Bas (Bas Hatsanat Piniwat from Fourever You)? They could easily play brothers in a series.
But then.......
I almost missed it. THERE'S A FINAL SCENE AFTER THE CREDITS.
