I must be totally wrong about the Omegaverse and the hierarchy of the various "genders."
I've never read any of the Omegaverse novels, but according to what I watched in the ABO Desire series, I thought the order was....
Enigma (exceedingly rare) Alpha Omega Beta Regular human
But in Ep 1 of Knot (around the 28:54 time stamp), the narration says that "Omega is the lowest rung in the social order"......implying that an Omega is lower than Beta, and lower than human?
According to Knot, the order is this:
(Enigma not mentioned in Knot so far) Alpha Beta Regular human Omega
But I thought, since Omegas can emit a pheromone, they were higher than Betas or humans?
SkyNani have such incredible chemistry, and the ending was simple, but perfect.
I'm so glad we got those extra final scenes to show us their undefined but beautiful more-than-just-friends / more-than-just-soulmates / more-to-be-explored-in-the-future bond.
Man, I hope they keep acting together. I really want to see them again.
Ep 2 @21:12 - I was ROLLING when one of the crew got so turned on by the actors doing the scene that he ran out of the room holding his crotch.
When stuff like that happens, it's incredibly difficult to take this series for what it's supposed to be, which is a spicy BL with a heavy psychological component.
The only thing missing from that scene was the stupid "comedy sound effects" that Thai BLs are so irritatingly fond of.
The MLs definitely have physical chemistry. No denying that.
But there's no emotional depth. At least....not so far. Maybe some will develop later?

EDIT: After Ep 3, I'm glad to say the characters are starting to develop more. Good to see that.
Am I the only one who gets the feeling there's something supernatural going on?
Like.....the rumor that when JP grants wishes, the person making the wish is beholden to him forever.
And when JP said he liked Jane Alee's drawing of him with black wings, it almost felt like (and still feels like) JP is kindof a demon or fallen angel. The way JP disappears and reappears......and it feels like he's manipulating Jane Alee and reaching inside his mind / soul a little.
And the way JP is always watching JA seems predatory.....
And at the end of Ep 1, that lightning suddenly cracked in the sky during the end credits.....
In the last few seconds of the final episode, I was half expecting the crack of a sniper rifle to ring through the air and Seo I-do to fall to the ground.
I really hate bait and switch tactics, when you think you're going to get a somewhat serious drama - I mean, it started out with a bomb going off and a person rather gruesomely bleeding out and dying - and then you suddenly get annoying AF attempts at "comedy" (it's more like really bad slapstick) and dumb comedy sound effects.
Plus, WHO goes into the jungle on a stealth mission for the "cause," has to know a password to avoid getting shot, is told to stick to a certain area and be quiet, and then screams loudly when you trip and almost fall?
And then there's the whole trope of falling and landing on a potential future lover, then lying there looking into each other's eyes. That staring at each other thing lasted WAY too long.
I'm just under 16 minutes into the first episode, and I'm already so disappointed.
I love him. He keeps it real and leads Wayu right where Wayu needs to be.
I'm not saying he's a bad friend. I'm saying he's clueless and LOUD AF sometimes. I wish his character would just be quiet in some scenes. He could do that while still being a good friend.
After all, a typical P'Aof series. Too mainstream, too tame, not courageous enough. A cute little BL with young…
Considering Ticket to Heaven was somewhat delayed......I have a feeling the series was more daring but then because of pressure to "not offend people", it got sanitized a lot before release.
Wayu's friend Tai is SO loud and clueless about reading the room sometimes. I honestly want to slap a muzzle on his mouth so he just STOPS TALKING in some scenes. Good freaking grief.

Someone clarify, please.
Strange first episode so far.
The characters are awkward and the pacing is off. Weird pauses in the dialogue.
SkyNani have such incredible chemistry, and the ending was simple, but perfect.
I'm so glad we got those extra final scenes to show us their undefined but beautiful more-than-just-friends / more-than-just-soulmates / more-to-be-explored-in-the-future bond.

If they're in their mid-20s now, that means 8 years ago when they met, they were still in high school.....?

Just speculation on my part, though.
