I cannot believe I'm rooting for the same guy I wanted to bitch-slap into oblivion when he was in The Wicked Game. So far so good, I'm not hating it. The plot is OK, the acting is OK, the storytelling and direction seem to be OK, the chemistry is OK. Mind you, I watched these 2 episodes straight after I watched the latest episodes of 'Love Destiny' and 'Knot'...so my expectations were LOW to begin with.
Alpha = Idiot Omega = Idiot Beta = Dumb Idiot Pure Omega = Stupid Idiot True Alpha = Emotional Idiot Dad Alpha = F__king Idiot Mum Omega = Useless Idiot Maid for Alphas = Clumsy Idiot Security for Alpha family = Worthless Idiots Henchmen for bad guy Alpha = Pointless Idiots Sangnuea = sweetie, you're an idiot for not calling me. I could have given you some pointers on how to avoid the god awful script and plot, and you could have come out on top. Your loss.
I watched the first episode when it came out, and then completely forgot it existed...and then a few months ago I watched up to episode 5 and then forgot all about it again. Tonight, because there's nothing else on, I decided to make a dent in my watchlist, and picked this to watch only because I'd started it. If only I'd stuck it out until episode 6, because that's when the story got interesting. Fish kisses aside, it was actually a really decent plot and it was fairly well executed. If they ever gave us a season 2, I'd watch it.
Honestly, I can't wait for this show to be over. My poor nervous system cannot handle the amount of RAGE I feel towards Vasin and Chat any longer😡. I swear to god, if they harm even a hair of my sweet Tin or Phob's head...I will personally sell a kidney to fund my trip to Thailand to beat the ever loving fudge out of the script writers...and the director too, for allowing it. Don't try to stop me—I'm in my villain era, and I will not be thwarted.
Fun side story...ever watched the 80's movie Weird Science? Bill Paxton played the a**hole older brother called "Chet"— he got turned into a 6 foot tall mound of 💩. Has that image been playing in my head every time Chat is seen or mentioned on this show? You better believe it!
It was beautiful and devastating and joyful. I don't know how to describe it, I feel emptied out but full at the same time...like it washed away something I'd been holding onto that was dark, and replaced it with light. I'm glad I saved this last episode until the very end of my evening, because I want to sit with my feelings for a while. I don't think I could binge watch this series, it needs to be savoured. A definite 100/10
Don't be too emotional...very well named, because I've found it nearly impossible to work up any emotions other than 'bored out of my skull'. The Pilot looked amazing, the show is dull as dishwater. I've lasted 9 episodes, might as well finish it.
Good lord, this is painful to get through. I'm hate watching at this point just so I understand the references as I laugh along at the comments here. Halfway through the episode I left to go watch YouTube, and then came back when I got bored of that too. Paused it again to go make a coffee. Sangnuea being a sassy little b*tch is the only thing holding my interest. I've pretty much given up on trying to follow the plot, because I don't think there is one. 😒
What if...slotted into each evening between now and next week's final episode, we had 6 more episodes of Takaaki destroying Naoya's dad—in great detail. Because judging by the glint in Takaaki's eye, it's gonna be BRUTAL. Mwah-ha-ha-ha
I'm devastated...they made my little pookie Fujibayashi a total "d*ck*' so now I have to go rewatch Punks Triangle to wash my eyeballs clean. I mean, he's still a spunk-bubble...but with the piercings and the long hair and the kind heartedness—what can I say, I'm just a girl...🥰
Now we need a full 10 episode season of the BTS bloopers, because a couple of minutes wasn't enough for a show as over the top and hilarious as this one.
Perfect ending to an absolute gem of a series. Complex characters, complex plot, complex emotions all over the place (mostly mine, as I rode the waves this show thrust at me).
Phatsa being moody, overly sensitive, overly emotional—and then next week's preview drops. I knew it!! F**king called it.—a week ago! Not saying this show is predictable, but...
The screenwriter needs more work experience. I suggest he go watch some of the absolutely stellar shows that have been released this year...learn from them...and stop keeping his work standard at the crummy, second rate level of the sub-par series' he acted in
Sometimes I get so caught up in Inn & Ongsa's chemistry that I forget I don't speak Thai and have to go back so I can read the subtitles...and then I get caught up in their chemistry again. No wonder it takes me 2 hours to watch a 46 minute show.
Three in the morning, California time. I got out of bed for episode ten and it took me almost two hours to get…
Your comments are always as much fun to read as the show is to watch. I can normally pick up on a lot of the nuance but your insights into the minutiae really add a lot of colour that I'd otherwise miss. Thank you.
Have a sneaking suspicion that Phatsa shooting his mouth off a Naphitch at the dinner table, and then being able to subdue him later on, might be the first sign that he's got a little Enigma bun in the oven
I'm still watching, and I'll finish it...but it's not sparking joy and I don't know who to blame.
The Alpha family mother and the 2 little girls at Ongsa's café are better actors than everyone else combined. Their dialogue flowed naturally, and didn't have that stilted broken delivery that seems to be common place in almost all Thai BLs. Is that an editing thing? Is that a writing thing? Is that a director thing? When it's industry wide, I can't place the blame on the actors (who don't even speak that way in their fan meets and LIVEs). And oh my word, the subtitles are still ridiculously bad.

No...Poetry Fight at the Palace.
Brutal. A sword fight would have inflicted less injury.

Those guys picking on Sui...I'd love to meet them in a dark alley.
