And I KNEW I had seen Est somewhere before! And yessss, I was right, he was in Love by Chance 2! I probably watched…
Yesss....I remember now. Est was the boyfriend of Tin's older brother, who Tin finally brought back from the UK to be reunited with him. Is that right ? It was another role in which Est's character was constrained in a similar way to Mok in Me and Thee.
i think the oppsite....dean is the one who has fallen hard already and is always being nicer to moth than moth…
Certainly true about Moth at the end of episode 2, which is as far as I have got. Dean seemed to be smirking in the lift, confident about playing the long game. For me it was quite moving how Moth appeared at the last moment and asked "Do you like me ?" And at the same time letting Dean see the cracks in his cold exterior.
Only just finished Episode 2 and the draw is still there.
It's great that Est gets to play a character who can do what he wants - no brief to focus on (Thame Po) and no job role to fulfill conscientiously (Mee and Thee).
And William's character in effortlessly controlled flirt mode is another bonus.
And Moth's birthday present was clearly appreciated.
Yes, it's different and pulls you in from the start.
William is no longer underage as he was in Thame Po and no longer constrained the way Rome was in Me and Thee, so here he can go full on Lothario as Dean.
Est's role allows him to play his own kind of independent, sophisticated man, which he couldn't really do as Mok. And his sharp one liners are fun to hear - "You can hit on me if you dare" etc.
Also, neither Po nor Mok would have been as direct as Moth was to the girl in the art gallery.
So I feel this is going to be quite a treat. And I'm sure Ten and Punn's story will also be fun to follow.
Just finished Episode 3 and there are times when, in his own individual way, Cheewa seems like a milder version of P'Thee in the earlier stages of Me and Thee 😂
I'm wondering whether Jomyut will end up with one of P'Niran's friends.
Astronomy Club - that's a nice little touch to add to a trope that's been part of so many series.
Sea Dechchart as a cute nerd taking the initiative ✅
Fun to see the contrast in roles from other recent series: Marc as a troublemaker after being a respectable police lieutenant in Dare you to Death. Also the teacher in the Astronomy Club has a similarly entertaining side role in A Dog and a Plane.
Just finished Episode 12 and it was a heartwarming and engaging finale. I have to admit I was quite moved to see Ko Song suddenly turning up to celebrate the New Year with Ko Neung and the others.
When the series started there were comments about Ko Neung being unnecessarily loud and brattish. However, things calmed down a lot as he matured and grew into his late teens. Progress portrayed this development in a really convincing way.
And speaking of convincing performances, Justin certainly managed one as August. He came across as the one in the friend group with a particularly individual vibe (just like his character in My Sweetheart Jom).
Once again GMMTV showed it has a particular talent for coming of age romances that keep you interested without any need for physical interaction or rich kids driving expensive cars. I really enjoyed this series and it reminded me of Remember Me, which had the same kind of vibe but also took the story a bit further.
However, I hadn't realized that Ping was in it. I was missing Meen/Ping, but it looks as if it's worth giving Ping and Teshow a try. A feisty Ping is fun to watch.
Actually, it's also good to see how versatile some of the older actors are: the prince from The Edge of Horizon as the mouthy dim sum shop owner and Wayu's mum from Love of Silom as Bay's mother.
It took me a while to recognize Java and I'm happy to see Sing as a less dodgy character.
Please AJ and JJ, make an appearance in Episode 2. You always add something extra that's engaging and fun to watch.
I felt at home straightaway with those familiar musical jingles from Season 1.
At first the juggling between timelines was a bit confusing, but by the end of the episode the rationale made sense.
The previous season ended with two official couples but unresolved tensions. While watching I felt too much time was spent on making up and repairing friendships. However, after Episode 1 finished I realised it had been an important part of moving into the main story.
As for what's ahead, the writers seem to have come up with an innovative solution that goes well beyond more of the same and should prove engaging and entertaining. Let's hope so.
For what it's worth, my take on who the "middle aged" men were: the one in America seems to be Bua (same shape of head/face), the other two could be either Fou4mod or Baabin. However, I think that Fou4mod and Chian are the ones who haven't broken up.
Look forward to seeing Chian in 2054 next time (he certainly looked good with a full head of hair in 2025). And that amazing line "Fell right into your love trap, when I only expected a flirt gap", which was powerful enough even as a translation for the subtitles. It seems the guy was down hard straightaway.
Episode 3 done and I'm happy I decided to stay with the series after the confusing experience of Episode 1.
Maxky's new character genre is definitely growing on me and it's fun watching the contrast between the semi unfiltered P'Three and P'Johan's "Khun chai" vibe.
It's also cute that DeryaMk12 seems more forward than North in FY1 despite his lack of confidence in joining the BSs.
I had read the introduction several times and the series had already reached Episode 4 before I finally started watching. Even then I wasn't sure I would enjoy it. How wrong I was 😂
The story drew me in immediately and there was also such a compelling range of characters to focus on - from the good guys like Khajorn and Sky to the shameless opportunists like Sunny and his evil sponsor. Oh yes, and the sultry, determined, mesmerising Sun as well as the cool, stylish and enigmatic Jay.
As someone else has pointed out, the final episode was a bit rushed despite being over an hour long. However, the ending seemed convincing: Sun and Jay got their revenge without losing themselves in the process.
Probably the most heartwarming takeaway for me was that both Sun and Jay got to heal themselves and finally be with someone they loved and trusted. ( I know - you can laugh at my romantic view of things) And I think that's why in the final scenes Sun seemed quite laid-back about being a bit player in the entertainment industry. After all, being with Jay was far more significant.
It's a shounen-ai. A type of BL that doesn't have intimacy scenes, but instead focuses solely on the emotional…
Ok. Thank you for introducing that term to me. In that case, for those of us a bit puzzled by some of the interaction between the male leads, it seems our eyes aren't actually deceiving us 😀
Someone commented below: "The bromance here is way more than that". Yes, exactly.
While the aftermath of a drinking session might cause the bromance to stray into the area of BL , this would really spoil the tender, understated emotions that are keeping it so exquisitely in bromance territory.
The actor portraying Kim... 👏🏻👏🏻Some of the best stand out acting in this series thus far, comes from…
Didn't he play one of the special operations police officers who Joong and Dunk's characters called on for assistance in Dare You To Death ? He looks familiar.
I know there have been comments and criticisms about the fact the series can only be appreciated by pre university audiences and I respect those opinions. However, the "Gel Boys for adults" vibes and the refreshing straightforward "what you see is what you get" character of the rapper member, for example, have helped keep me interested.

It seems I'll have to continue watching a bit longer. There's obviously some potential here.

Also Episode 1: Physics: "Fuen, I know you're dumb, but this time it's a bit too much" 😂😂
Assuming the subtitles are accurate, there was some good banter so I'll have to at least watch Episode 2.
