Well Kawi didn’t take anything they weren’t willing to give. He told pear & pisaeng point blank he couldn’t…
I agree, they could have demanded much better from him but somehow they just let him get worse and worse. Also he is an experienced almost 30 man, yet he behaves the most immature of all the 20 years old. Maybe he felt cheated by his original life and was trying to grab as much as he could of his second chance. still inexcusable Am still struggling to understand why this enfant terrible caught the fancy of both Pisaeng and Pear, both of whom are pretty great people. Its an intriguing story, but Kawi's fatal attraction to the other two needed to be explained better
On episode 7 and sorry but Kawi is such a taker. Everyone in his life Max, Pear and Pisaeng are such generous givers and in a way Kawi is just too self obsessed. He is just too elemental driven by his ambitions and not in a nice manner. Please spoil me he gets better as a human being.
I couldn't agree more with everything you said! The show had so much promise that sort of just fizzled out almost…
Agree about Jaab-Jen- as a couple their story held more promise than Pat-Jeng. Jaab was such a quirky character. Nver gonna forget him in his self pitying avatar, sprawled on a yellow sofa in a dark room with dark sunglasses on trying to get over Jen's rejection. And Jen's earnestness such a counterpoint to Jaab's idiocies. They were just such a weird but wonderful combination. Would love to see that story.

The last 3 episodes felt like they let some rookie sit and write, direct,edit the story. So many loop holes,. theywere in a hurry to be done with it. Maybe they ran out of money. The endemic problem of small production houses with tiny budgets and bad planning.
Sadly the promise of the first 9 episodes got disrupted by the last episodes( we saw the rating climb down from 7.9 to 7.4). The end didnt touchthe heights the begining promised. Despite its underwhelming end, it will remain one of the most sensible and real BLs out there. Special accolades to Man, for portraying the multilayered character of Jeng, his insecurity and break down in the last episode remains the highlight. He literally singlehandedly outperformed everyone. More projects for him please! Lastly Jaab-Jen should have been a bigger prt of story than Ae's pregnancy. They would have balanced the JengPat story far better.
There are definitely some people in this comment section that are either acting like psychologists or have never…
Exactly! Are they watching the same drama as us? What is his hypersexualization of every innocent incident? They dont realise that in the entire Asian continent, girls do not express their likes or crushes till much later. And DJX still hasnt seen her as anything except his friend's younger sister. What grooming are they talking about when the so called groomer hasnt even seen the girl as a 'girl'?
The character Pat is quite interesting. Its the actor who is playing it one note, no nuances. Maybe its his interpretation…
Wow this was a wonderful read! Added a whole new dimension to the character Pat. He is shown from the begining as a thriving member of his "found family" (Friends, someone?), that we tend to miss he could also be lonely. His sociableness hides the emptiness of his birth family. On the surface his life experiences, barring Putt, are positive.. no major hang-ups, no dark traumas, even his divorced parents get along fine, even his sexual orientation is accepted and respected by everyone. But, internally he is not as comfortable as he should be. He tends to box people into avatars-- that is why he is so shocked when he learns of Jeng being gay. Remember he starts off by being attracted to Jeng and crushing on this lovey stranger, till he became the boss, which made him shut his own feelings off like a faucet; then he goes through a huge hero worshipping arc with Jeng- and heroes can best be admired at a distance.... so he creates the ultimate boss avatar for Jeng .... no wonder when he is forced to see Jeng as a man again, his own interaction so far becomes colored-- I suppose the ending scene of Epi 8 when he falls over in his shock-- guess he is reviewing the past interaction and sees all the signals that Jeng was emitting loud and clear...... Thnx for the read. I only wish the actor playing Pat was capable of portraying the lovely, layered character he was given to work with.
This show has the best product placement for the snack packet, I think it was called Crillin . The entire thing was so well integrated with the story, that even sitting 10k kms I will remember the snack name!!!
I hate this comment section, it's rough 😭Anyway, I can't believe we got Jeng sobbing about how much he likes…
The character Pat is quite interesting. Its the actor who is playing it one note, no nuances. Maybe its his interpretation that is wrong or maybe he just doesnt have the acting skills that others have. Whatever it maybe, the character has a lot more depth than is getting portaryed by the actor. His facial expressions are the same in every scene, though he did get a bit better this episode. Yet in every scene you have to depend on other actors to empathise with him
Epi 9-- BLs post Step by Step are going to be different because of the benchmark being set by this show. This is such a landmark for all BLs across countries. Most BLs struggle with how to represent gays, they either caricature them or trope them. Jeng as a character is such a beautiful depiction of a normal, sensitive man in love dealing with rejection. But unable to stop loving Pat and unable to stop expressing his love for Pat in every different way possible. Such a marvellous character. In fact what a great set of characters, be it Jen, Baab, Ae, Kanoon, Chot- every character has held his own space so well.
I'm sorry but Pat's character actor( Ben) isn't just doing it for me. His expressions are the same all throughout…
He is very very limited as an actor. Most of his reactions are a gaping mouth.He is a free rider on the talent of all the other actors and wont be around for long unless he polishes his craft
Maybe he felt cheated by his original life and was trying to grab as much as he could of his second chance. still inexcusable
Am still struggling to understand why this enfant terrible caught the fancy of both Pisaeng and Pear, both of whom are pretty great people.
