If you are only interested in Saifah/Zon, you could wait until they produce that special episode. Of course, continuing to watch is also a good way to show support for the show and hopefully encourage them to produce that special episode they promised.

Considering they are missing enough essential scenes to warrant a special episode, the remaining Saifah/Zon in the remaining episodes will probably be choppy. Like with conversation referencing things that was not shown or abrupt time skips or change in altitude. All understandable considering the situation, but be prepared an keep expectation low, basically.

Here is the announcement:

The special Saifah/Zon episode won't be filmed until the corvid-19 situation is over. So it probably won't be ready before the show ends with ep 14. Optimistically, it may be a few months before we see that special episodes. After all, it does take time to restart production, edit the episode, and potentially secure tv airing slot again.

I think at this point, it is pretty much a given that they won't be able to film in time since corvid19 isn't going away any time soon. So I guess we have SFZ special to look forward to in however much time before that is done.

Considering they need a special episodes to close out SFZ, I wonder if that special episodes is suppose to take place after the finale which has been filmed, or going to be a retelling of ep 9-14 with just SFZ (+ new filmed scenes)? Either way, I guess we should be prepared for SFZ to be choppy it is missing enough scenes to warrant a special episode

I completely agree that they should probably have ended it with 10 episodes once they know about the production shutdown. I would have added in some additional SZ and other couples scenes throughout ep 9 and 10 though to kind of close out everyone story as best they can. This would have allow them to shorten some of the FT scenes that seemed to dragged down the pace of the story.

I wonder if they decided to go with pushing through to the original ending because they aren't positive they will get a S02? After all, they are a small studio and the higher ups may prefer a new BL since they might think that WRU has been milked as much as they could. This could be why the director thought that the best way forward is to use up as much of the filmed scenes as possible?

Based on the latest post here (I can only depend on google translate): https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=655253538633151&id=342669546558220

It sounds like an acknowledgement that the production has been affected by corvid-19, and the remaining scenes were only partially filmed. It also sounds like they are going to push through this and try to craft an ending using what has been filmed already. Hard to say how successful this approach would be, as it all depends on how many pivotal scenes are un-filmed. At the very least, I expect there will be a lot more flashbacks so they can use deleted scenes from older episodes. I wish the best of luck to the production crew, but we should all prepare for a bumpy ride as enter the home stretch

It sounds like they are going to piece together the the remaining episodes using what footage they have filmed and deleted footage from previous episodes. I suspect that the SaifahZon scene at the start of Ep 10 was a part of that. Half the scene was flashback of old footage, with a few scenes that is most likely deleted footage (the one of Saifah making the bracelet, the one of Zon and the roof key, and the one of Saifah walking along outside until he supposedly see Zon sleeping in the practice room).

This facebook post seems to indicate they have limited scenes filmed before being affected by covid19 and that ep 10 is what they can piece together from what has been completed already. Considering even the one small scene for SaifahZon requires half of it to be flashback of old footage, I am a bit worried how they can end this show

Eh, it is the norm in Hollywood. I can't think of one show that film the entire season before airing (for the usual 20-24 ep season). To prevent the show from catching up to the filming, that is why they sometimes have a one week break from new episode. Also why they usually have a large break over the winter holidays between the two halves of the season. It allows them to adjust plotlines as necessary based on feedback on the first half of the season

This filming while airing episodes seems to be a common approach in the Thai industry. Even in North America, most TV shows only film a few episodes ahead of the current episode. Even Supernatural, an American show, has to go on a hiatus two episodes before the end of the series because covid-19.

I think Tine realize that Sarawat has feelings for him and that he feel something for Sarawat as well. The bar scene helped Tine realize he feels more than he should about Sarawat, hence the jealousy. However, realizing he might have feelings for Sarawat and actually acting on that feeling is two very different thing. That is why he pretended not to remember the jealousy comment the next day. I think he is taking his friend's advice: "Love is not easy to prove like in dramas, It's a lot more complicated than that. Sometimes you need to take it slow and let time tell you".

It is cool seeing all the side character put in the work. Man attending every seminar possible, Phukong making 100 drawings

I think the scene where Tine admit he is jealous of Sarawat.

There was a number of threads below after ep9 where people (including me) speculated on how corvid-19 affected this on-going production. I think it is safe to assume that there was probably supposed to be a few non-Fighter/Tutor scenes spread through ep 9-10. At the very least, there was suppose to be a scene about the aftermath of the kiss.

I don't think most of the people commenting on how the episodes were put together was spreading hate, so much as concern about what ep 9 + 10 means for the production going forward. Like for me, I am concerned that these two episode could be a sign that they still have a lot of other pivotal scenes that didn't get filmed.

Question is if it will be like today where it is packed with montage flashbacks where they reuse old scenes and scenes that seems to be from the cutting room floor

I put all the Fighter/Tutor scenes on 4x speed, cause I know I wouldn't miss much even at that speed.

Is the shutdown on-going or just for 15 days?

I have issue trying to remember the names of the side couples, they show up so rarely.

My guess is also scenes from the cutting room floor that they are dusting off to fill in the gaps. Similar to that scene of Saifon walking and seeing Zon sleeping in the practice room

If the plan was to leave themselves leeway to extend the season by a few episodes (which was rumored to be the plan before corvid-19), they were probably planning on filming as the show airs so they can adjust on the fly. Once you made arrangements for the "school" and "dorms", it isn't too hard to film extra scenes to fill lengthen the season.

Once corvid-19 hit and interfered with production, they had to deal with it as well as they can.
