Let's hope that the next one, "Red Peafowl" (more info: https://int.cafebl.com/2023/09/lee-long-shi-frank-thanatsaran-and-boun-noppanut-are-reportedly-to-star-in-thai-romance-mafia-drama-red-peafowl-the-series-.html?m=1), is going to be massive hit 🤞

Thai BL are in full force now (and I mean here quantity because the quality waries).
There are however some nice Korean (To My Star; Light on Me), Japanese (My Beautiful Man; Zettai BL - if you want to laugh at BL thorpes) or Taiwanese (HIStory series has some good ones - each is standalone, so one can start anywhere; We Best Love; Because if You) BLs as well.
Chinese are usually hiding BL but you can clearly see what is what in World of Honour (ML is obscenely flirty 🤭) or Untamed. If you can stomach sad ending (or watch alternative happy ending that seems to be done in Power Point 😉) then Killer and Healer is a definite must (one of my all time favourite songs is《勿念》(do not miss me/do not think about me/forget) by 王小璐 (wang xiao lu) https://youtu.be/-UnH-nof90w?si=e01xRjNKh0cTSnui - for some reason still not released, as far as I know)

They clearly were not having lip balm in bed... and the "exercise", not to mention what happened during blackout. The BL is quite strong here by comparison with other Chinese BLs (stronger than in Korean "A shoulder to cry on").
Imagination of resident Fujishi notwithstanding 😉

I am currently on binge of Be Mine SuperStar (on the fact that it's ending yesterday/today and I won't be tortured 😉) and haven't reached that part yet. I must say I am always waiting on their scenes and there are not many 😢
I like when "Daddy" teases his "Son" 😈

I would tlsay that it's not excluding one or the other. They can give opportunities to voice actors and use it as part of comedic style.

I don't get the issue with the testament.
My ramblings on the subject are going to be as messy as the plot XD
What does it matter who has it? If it's not forged that the content stays the same. And what is it missing? The mother left them before dad died, so did he not signed the papers before him? Then again she was supposedly cheating (shows how the husband was interested in her - he didn't know how her closest family looked like 🤦‍♀️), so I would think that the father would have changed his last will immediately. If she has the testament that could benefit her - why wait with it? How could anybody trick her about it? Was she pregnant with the 4th child when she left (considering how old the 3 were the age gap between them and 4th should be visible... here 4th looks closer age-wise to 1st bro) or how else would they not be aware of the 4th? Why leave everything to 1 of them and why were they hiding it it for so many years?
Butlers cross-dressing 🤭
Manuang has really good eyes - he always spots and recognises 🥇

I mentioned it multiple times (basically after each ep) but I will write it again. It's apparently done on purpose due to that type of comedic style in Thailand. I am not a fan of it (same voice for all, not clear when it's a thought or spoken word and who said/thought what) but it's cultural thing 🤷‍♀️.
I would have preferred - if there needs to be dubbing - to be done like in Chinese series but it's not done for the same reason (in China they want everyone to speak main dialect and not all actors can do it), so it is what it is...
I saw in behind the scenes that there was somebody with boom, so perhaps their audio got messed up and they decided to go this comedic route?
Side note: "Love Syndrome" was not that bad IMO (especially considering that it was quite faithful to the source material).
BTW - you know that all caps mean you are screaming, right?

Aren't there 12 EPs in total?
Would that not mean that there are 6 EPs left?
And I wonder since it's bad now what is going to happen in "cursed" EP11? 🤔

Yes, the dubbing was bad. And I meant that not just because they used it but it was so glaring in Ji Ho and Yi Won scenes (there were also some scenes where dialogues were barely audible). Maybe they had some issue with sound quality when they were recording and decided to just dub it? Or is that a new trend (like I think we all like Chinese "BLs" and they are always dubbed, now Thai's "Crazy Handsome Rich" is dubbed by 1 person because of comedy style and perhaps Korea decided to hop on the dubbing train? 😉)?

Random thoughts:
Ji Ho should stop slouching - I know that some tall people have this tendency but it was making me worried about his spine and not what was happening.
At least the kissing scenes were ok (be gone era of "Color Rush" kisses!).
In some scenes Soo Won looked more like Zon from Thai "Why R U" than Tutor.
Why You Gyeom did not clear the dating at the bus stop is beyond me - was it to test him, like: "who is more important?"
Is Soo Won a good friend? I kind of get kissing while drunk. I don't get kissing while sober. I don't get not telling your friend about their SO cheating. He should be feeling guilty about that! How many time should they kiss before he even mentioned her?
As Saifah and Zon we my faves in oryginal - here I preferred You Gyeom and So Won (even though it was more questionable morally).

Yes, let's hope it's ambitious project (like in "Not me" Gun had to play very different characters and the physical side of all the stunts/fighting scenes/etc. was definitely demanding) 🤞

They are in Cooking Rush, so hopefully this year 🙏

Do you want spoiler from novel?
1st thing: nobody is dreaming about anybody or has hallucinations (except 3rd Yai).
So Jom meets 3 Yai's:
1. Yai1 in time between World Wars. In novel Jom thinks he went to the past via wormhole and it so happens that he has once situation where the he suddenly is back in modern time but it's kind of like flash and not real time travel (different feeling than when he travels) but it last only a moment. Yai is in love in Jom from 1st sight (he later said that it was like he always loved Jom), he is heartbroken that he needs to leave him to go to England to study but promises that he will be back in few years and tells Jom to wait for him. Jom notices that his shadow is getting fainter and once it basically disappears the fog comes and (in front of Yai's eyes) takes him to:
2. Yai2 in XVIII century (he isn't not sure but it seems like 1st half of it). He was there when Jom arrived (in the pool, in cave), so he was suspicious of him. This time it was Jom who decided to pursue Yai (did not have to work for long 😏). Here it's important to mention Ohm. In this lifetime Yai and Ohm are stepbrothers and are very close and commanders of procession that is to deliver princes (yes, it's Kaew/Kaimuk) from their country back as she is feeling sick, so the king allowed her to come home to recuperate. This turns out to be a lie. Ohm and princes got busy and she is sick because she is pregnant but since the king was never intimate with her it would be obvious that it's not his, so to save her Ohm lied to his brother about the order. Once the truth comes out Jom things that their actions once again show Yai and Ohm true colours. Yai believes in doing what is right/his duty and Ohm just wants to follow his feelings regardless of how they might damage others life's (princess included). Yai locks Ohm up due to him killing one of the kings high ranking soldiers (he was actually protecting Jom and princes by extension) and plans to turn him the next day in, as requested by king's men (killer of the soldier and princess with her people are to go back to king). Ohm yells at Yai that if he loves somebody in this life he curses him not to be with the loved on in this life and the next. Jom notices that his shadow is getting quite faint, so he knows that his time is almost up (he told Yai about it). He decides to take Ohm's place. Killed soldier's friend plas to kill Jom in their custody but Yai shows up (Jom wishes that Yai would remember him when they meet again) and blocks them until fog comes and takes Jom to:
3. back in the present Jom was returned to the moment before car accident and was rescued and landed in hospital. In modern times Yai3 had partners but could not love anybody, so he gave up on love. His mother got info from Yai1 that she is to hire architect with specific name and she finally found him in some magazine. Yai3 was interested why she hired company out of Bangkok and not local, so she showed him the magazine and there is saw Jom's picture and the memories from past life(s) started flooding. He came back to Thailand 2 days earlier that his family just to get back to Jom faster but Jom just had the accident. They later reunite.

Oryginal title of the novel is "Sweet Scent of Love" and it's refering to Plumeria (Lantoms). Jom and Yai2 visit some merchant to purchase stuff and Jom wanders to the garden (due to scent) and sees the tree. He later tells Yai3 that he used this flowers to fall asleep. Yai3 promises to plant it in their home. Yai2 already has few Plumerias next to the guest house (Yai's family lived in main house but he just recently moved to guest house to be able to learn in peace) where he and Jom live and promises to plant more (here Jom lives them next to pillow to sleep better). In modern times (beforentime traveling) there are plenty of Plumeria on the site and Jon was wondering why they were planted as they were considered as signs of bad luck (they are supposedly shelter to spirits and ghosts). Yai2 told him of different meaning - throwing away sorrows ("Lan" = throw away).

I agree - I was like: did I miss something? Honestly they could have added like a minute of their "missing" scenes to make it flow logically and smoothly.

No need to watch it. The only common theme is the fact that some of the mains take part in "love/marriage class". Even the teacher leading the class is different.

Why is everyone's 1sr instinct to steal? 😳 You need just few seconds to check, so why make it more complicated (adding the cousin to help him with that is another hair brain scheme).
Luv - don't go even lower by reading somebody's diary!
"Are you insane?!" You all are 🤭
I wonder why they are all covering (and his opinion is apparently the only one that counts) before oldest bro 🤔

I don't think you are going to find it.
Apparently that's part of this style of comedy in Thailand 🤷‍♀️
What is somewhat funny is that fact that I. behind the scenes you can clearly see boom operator! Why hire him if one is not going to use the sounds recorded? 🙄

If not for the mind games the art student was playing I would call them one of my all time favourites. Good that the art student finały learned to talk (their talk at the bridge was such a let down but he improved).
Side note: I was a bit weirded out about professor (the uncle, that was harassing TA) and student. I hope that they are not from the same department because that would have made it so, so bad.

I think I wrote it misleadingly - we have 3 Yais.
According to Jom's timeline he meets them in the following order:
1. Yai in the time between World Wars fell in love in Jom at the 1st sight. He doesn't remember any other life, had no dreams or hallucinations about Jim before (and after) meeting him.
2. Not sure yet about anything concerning Yai in the even further past (haven't read this part yet so I don't know the exact period as well).
3. Yai in the modern times seemed to remember his past life(s).
Jom remembers all of it the whole time, so when he hears that the owners son (remember that Jom was responsible for renovation of that house before car accident) is coming and his name is Yai, he is almost certain that it's his Yai. Seems to be happy ending after that (back in the modern time).

When it comes to Ohm - his role was way extended in the series. We barely see him in the between World Wars time - he had maybe 4 appearances (meeting with Kaew; meeting with Jom, so that Jom breaks with him for Kaew; Ohm asking Jom about news of Kaew; Jom found out that Kaew was pregnant and told Ohm about it - no beginning in the woods, no fighting in the shop etc., so no big blow out but more like Jom was slowly accepting the situation... and he had hot young* Yai who was showing [subtly] his interest and then not so subtly 😏
*Yai is 18 during the 1st meeting and Jom is 24, modern time Yai seems to be 28).

According to novel: Jom is going to disappear in front of Yai's eyes (fog would kind of keep him in immovable but he could call Yai's name at the last moments, so Yai saw what happened). Then he would reappear in even earlier time. I haven't finished the novel yet but out of curiosity I checked (better would would be "skimmed") that in the end Jom is back in his time - before accident he was supposed to meet owner-lady of the house on Monday (I think that his accident was of Saturday) and the son shows up (so it might be that Jom returned to the "starting point"). Yes, the son is Yai (in this life he is few years older than Jom) and he seems to remember his past life(s).
Yai in the 1st world doesn't seem to remember anything (no dreams about each other for any of them as well) and just feelt in love at 1st sight.

IMO "Eighth Sense" was better 😉
