I wonder about the backstory: if all of the villagers (at least adults) were on board with the chief's plan then why getting rid of the lawyer and his mom? What can he do if he doesn't have plaintiffs? So I think it was at most smal minority that agreed with chief but Charn decided to punish them all (including children 😒)...
I also wander how he survived - he was shot, in the middle of forest, in pouring rain. Who and how found him and took him to the hospital?
Yes, his burn were so miniscule (I was certain that he died in that explosion after previous ep)! It was clearly shown that only 3 people escaped when building exploded and Wit was not one of them. It must me "drama rules" (like when important character is dying he can do like 15min monologue) - we have here like 100% chance that Wit will come back to get revenge on Charn (because all of that was Charn's fault and not due to Wit's bad decisions 🙄).

I think that there was love at 1st sight scene.
Do you remember flashback to when Thames and Bua (Mon's sister) came to Mon's house? Thames was staring on Mon's photo like transfixed.
Yes, it is super choppy: I am on about 20min mark of ep 3 and so far no connection with ending of ep 2 😒
I have another complaint to add to yours: Thames is a ghost but he can for example lift spoon or bowl like it's nothing but he goes through the door. Logic somebody? And why did he need to borrow Mon's clothes? Similarly house spirit - they bought him clothes. What is happening with the food he eats? I know that some religions believe that sprits eat like an essence of the food but here Mon is pouring soup into Thames' mouth - where does the phisical soup go? On the floor? 🤔

I got a feeling that he was asking MC out to block potential relationship or trying to figure out if our MC was even aware of others feelings. I am not saying that he did not like MC (one doesn't have to hate their "rival") but he liked him in more platonic way.
The phone call Simeon did sounded a bit like he caught his significant other hiding mistress 🤭.
Yes, ML is meh but MC most of the time as well. He is always so clueless 🙄 Only in the last scene where he set clear boundaries I was like 👍👏

Am I reading it wrong or was Simeon actually crushing on Song Hyun Jae?
Regardless if that is so - they should get together 🤭

I think Itt was less annoying as Nhai seems to constantly whine 😉

We did have to wait for years for the remake, so perhaps this will be re-made in a few years as well...?

There is request form so perhaps if we spam them enough?
That might not be enough - the real issue is whether China would allow it to be broadcasted at all (the actors are Chinese and it was filmed in China, right? If so they might just shelf it forever 😞).

I read the novels some time ago so I might be a bit off about the dad but I think he died in that facility and he never woke up.
As for the mother - I am quite sure that she committed suicide (PS just didn't want to accept that fact but her actions before were clearly saying goodbye and detectives concluded no faul play... it's just that she made PS find her on purpose - lady, he was just a child so no need to add extra trauma to his plate 😒)

It was confirmed more than as week ago, I think, that they signed (or were in process of signing) contracts for S2.

It was s*xual assault in progress 😞

There is no kiss on the lips but:
- there are cheek kisses
- they sleep in the same bed (even though they have 2 separate bedrooms) and have matching pyjamas
- WB's father found lube in one of the beds
- WB gets extremely jealous of people approaching SY (to the point of telling the girl "SY is mine!")
- SY suffered for like 2 days (no food or water, rain in the night and blazing sun on the day) to solve mystery of WB mother's death
- when they got separated for month they hugged making others "third wheeling"
- their female clasmate likes BL novels and shipps them (book then lands in Duo's possession and it seems she has the same idea as the girl)... they are CP in school gossip as well
- their dance might have been so-so but the looks were not
- SY was more upset that WB might like the girl then that he was supposedly harassing her (and hence punched WB)
The list can go on in infinity 😉
There is supposed to be uncut version released where is/are actual kissing scene(s). Time will tell if that happens but it's definitely BL and so worth watching!

Is it bromance when they have lube in the bed (and basically sleep in it every night even thoug they each have their own room)?
Is it bromance when they kiss cheek in dark class?
Is it bromance when they don't want to be separated and after 1 month they hug like they don't want to let go (and make cousins "third wheeling")?
The car "accident" - drivers "instinct" should make it so that he avoids collision (and hence his passenger should be in bigger danger) but we all saw where the impact was. Even said cousin knows/suspects - hence "accident".
There is no shown kissing (lips to lips kind - because there were cheek kisses) but there are so many hints that they were not platonic ("exercise", fight after headphones with lube lying next to them on the floor, etc.).
In other world - definitely not on the level of "End of the World with You" but above regular Chinese BL level of intimacy ("Untamed" or "Killer and Healer"). Uncut version (if and when it comes) is supposed to have some actual kissing...

In 7th.
WB real father comes to WB's fake house and since SY met him before he recognises him and during insuring argument SY tells WB that their parents are married.

We can rejoice in knowledge that S02 is coming so perhaps better ending in that one...

There is "Punk Spy" with Tommy in the works (there are like 6 main leads but no Jimmy)

The whole mother's death mystery wasn't done IMO too great. They basically solved it in an instant and too neatly.
I liked WB's father more this time: his approach to get his relationship with WB is better then SY mother's - he understood that what WB wanted was companionship and he decided to give it to him (WB is to old to starve him 😋).
Yeah, "exercise" 😏

Although the whole waiting was overdone, it still had it's purpose: to show how much SY cares about WB. They just show love in different way. For me the word was that after 2 days rasy got the tiniest cup of tea! My guy - the boy hasn't eaten and got barely any water + was out in the rain (which usually make a character bedridden and needing sponge bath 🤭).
Yes, dancing was not even synced - I was wondering if they did it on purpose, like to show that they are just 2 boys and not "K-pop stars".
Duo read the novel, has new goal in life and for that she needs material 😋

We have ML1 (policeman) and there is clearly something between him and MC1 (doctor), who (doc) has much younger sister. MC1 helps ML1 not only as doc but actually they form family. There is a plot point of MC1's sister being kidnapped and ML1 helps him find her. ML1 and MC1 start as a bit of "enemies to lovers".
The second "couple" consists of ML2 (basically mafioso, loves Chinese opera) and MC2 (singer). MC2 lost his whole family due to ML2 (if I remember correctly it was actually his uncle's fault).
From important people there is also:
a) ML2's uncle;
b) FL2, spoiled and power-hungry woman (fell in love in ML1 but he was soooo not interested in her) who became like uncle's concubine (not wife);
c) FL, who was in love in MC1 (at the end of the series she was supposed to marry ML2 - the plot there was a bit bizarre but her wedding makeup scen had great song) and was helping ML1 and MC1 a lot.
All 3 are dead (if I remember correctly it was ML2 who killed FL1 on their wedding day).
To make long story short: ML1 is righteous police officer and tries to bring ML2 crime family down (especially since they are planning to military take over the city). MC2 lands himself in ML2's mansion and plots his demise but ML2 is truly carrying for him and has no idea what happened to him in the past.
It ends with MC2 killing himself (bomb) to destroy ML2's plan. ML2 seems to have escaped the city and all is well but suddenly he shows up, dressed like rickshaw driver and shoots MC1, who dies on the street in ML1 arms. Before MC1's death ML1 shoots ML2 and he dies with beads in his hand (they belonged to MC2). ML1 takes over care of MC1's sister.
Afterwards they decided that this ending was bad but they already finished filming, so they used some scenes from previous EPs, used some stills (like in power point 🤭) and added voice over to make alternative happy ending where ML1 wakes up from bad dream. The dream was that MC1 was shoot to death by ML2 but the truth was that he survived (ML2 did not) and now ML1 (got promoted as well), MC1 and MC1's sister live together.

I agree with you. This was the main reason I was pushing watching this show (this is exactly why I am not going to be watching "180 longitude (...)" or any other with such theme). The boy is barely adult and he has hardly any experience with relationships, so starting with somebody about 10 years older can be a recepe for domestic abuse.
I read that his friend will be with another teacher but this one is younger then Minato, I think (nephew of his teacher-crush and now studying for PhD), so not so problematic, I hope...

I agree to a point.
For me the folklore was quite interesting - all the ghost traditions were what kept my attention the most.
