Something I noticed:

In EP1 OurSkyy MSP Gun's mom said that teachers and parents made up 250 approvals/people and have elected the school president. It's actually a snide at the previous Thai military government appointing 250 senators who get to vote for the next Thai prime minister, alongside elected representatives. They also form the greatest hurdle for the recently (democratically) elected Thai PM to take office. With the elections having taken place just a few days ago, a really subtle reference!

I particularly like the two songs introduced today. "Rock and Star" is the perfect summary of TinnGun's journey, while "Once Upon a Time" draws a conclusion to Chinzhilla's journey.

Listening to them really reminds one that it is the end of this amazing series. This series has been an escape whenever I was feeling down. I'm sad that it's already over but the joy and lessons that this series gave me will forever have a special in my heart. I will miss TinnGun, Chinzhilla, Student Council Members, getting new OSTs and episodes every Friday. Thank you to the team for this masterpiece!

There you go!

Could anyone please provide the name of the songs that were in the last episode? Thank you!

Sorawit is like a breath of fresh air. I love his accent and cuteness.

The disparity between the comments on Youtube calling for a second season and the criticism the show receives here on MDL is really glaring.

If you do not want to see this kind of stereotypical, substance-lacking, cringe-inducing drama being produced again, please do not support it by watching it on YouTube; that is the least that we can all do.

I have a theory so just putting it out here:

The fact is that Jane was too weak to hang herself, established by Dr Bunn. Questions is who killed her. I would say that either Tann or Pued hanged her, under her instruction (Tann being more likely). I don't think Tann has denied her killing her, but is probably helping Bunn figure out what made Jane want to end her life. I think Jane would have a reason to end her life too, as she was probably under the impression that she cannot escape the politician's grasp.

So that would make the politicians and those in power responsible for her death. Problem with series like these, they may introduce other characters later on (there's an important one in the book yet to be introduced here), so the above might change.

Comparisons are not the best and can be polarising at times, but I think it is fair to compare drams of the same genre in this case BL.
"I told sunset about you" made some other BLs mediocre in contrast, but it really makes Tonhon Chonlatee look like a hot pile of sh*t

Here's an idea, let's have a character that won't hesitate to "mate" (for the lack of a more polite word) with both genders.

Now that's gonna add some real spice.

Not to mention Ms Darin and Mr Pom vanishing into thin air. I guess that's the consequence of being too ambitious in creating so many twists and turns.

I genuinely enjoyed this last episode, because for the first time I felt this season was finally heading somewhere. No more (or shall I say lesser) twists and turns but instead a gradual build up to the finale. I've always wanted to see the gifted batch work together and I think I may getting just that.

A lot of action this episode, but also a lot of people standing around doing absolutely nothing. Not really sure how I feel about it.

I would say that Blacklist was really (really) illogical, as some incidents happened that were way beyond capabilities of a student; so some thought that TGG might be a repeat of that when they mentioned the bomb incident involving Namtaan. To answer your question, Blacklist certainly isn't the best show I've watched.

It's two songs actually, I believe they are
1) Gatun Hun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOO785tQ5lI
2) Kae kon eek kon (6:14 onwards)

Hey, entertainment columnist here. You might be right from a certain standpoint as there are huge differences between s1 and s2, and I'll give it a go by trying to explain them:
1) Storytelling: S1 follows revelations upon revelations. From Pang entering the gifted class, the exam, and finding out what happened to Channon. These plot-points ultimately form a story arch to say the Director is "bad", making the story cohesive. So far in S2, a lot of things happened (foiling the exam, NYX-88, whatever Darin is up to) and these events feel so detached from one another. So S1 definitely wins out in storytelling (thus far).
2) Character establishment: In S1, we sort of see how the character's personality is related to their potentials. The individual character episodes also helps us build an emotional connection to each one, which is sorely lacking in S2. This might be why we don't feel Grace and Third (Time is given the most screentime)
3) Over-reliance on plot twists: There is a difference between revelation and plot-twist in film writing. Revelations are more satisfying to watch as it adds to the story, while plot twists when done repeatedly has a redundant effect (for example, two characters believed to have died coming back, thus cancelling out the meaning of their "death")

Evidently, there are some problems with S2. Hopefully these will be worked out as I think they are still filming, as there is a chance to create as mentioned in (1) an overarching story. Rest assured your opinions are valid.
