I can understand how you feel, and yes, I did watch TharnType 2 (and it was just as bad as I expected it to be!). You might want to watch at least two more episodes before deciding to drop it. Chi Cheng is a complicated character and this glimpse is only part of who he is.

Yes, he did. This is to show how badass he really is and it highlights how his behavior towards WS changes later. He’s only soft for his boy and his snakes, that’s it.

It depends on what you’re looking for. Watch the first three episodes and then decide.

I liked this episode and the show in general, but what I’m really going to miss are these comments! Things like “Why is Penny thrusting.? Show us the strap-on!”, “plank sex”… Not to mention the in depth analyses every week! OMG, I‘ll never be the same again! This has been so much fun every week. Thank you, everyone! 🙂

This is already so cute! Poor Tojo is so lonely; my heart hurt for him. I foresee many cute moments with these two. 🙂

I agree and I enjoyed your parallels to “My Beautiful Man”, which is one of my favorites. Chi Cheng and Wu Suowei are very naturally creating their own safe space to be real with each other - and that’s why those constant calls from Yue Yue are beginning to sound like a blaring alarm clock when they’ve finally reached a deep and peaceful sleep after tossing and turning all night.

Yay, welcome to the group of us impatient fools who suffer the wait every week,🙂

I don’t want to say goodbye. I hope we at least get a special episode of Jun and Sorn domestic and happy, living their best lives together.

Why not just say you don’t see what we all see and move on? I’m enjoying the Hell out of this and it’s for the very reasons you dislike it. 😁

Both have their benefits. My biggest decision is going to be if I keep watching every episode as it airs or wait for the angsty episodes to air and then binge watch those plus the “everything is ok now” episode all at once. I did this with ThamePo but it was difficult to wait three weeks! I’m not sure I’m strong enough with this show.

Episode 12 had better deliver! I was rather disappointed with 11. It was disjointed and all over the place. I want to see Soren and Jun being happy together. It doesn’t help that I couldn’t care less about the other couples.

What I love is how Wu Suowei’s reactions to Chi Cheng have changed. Did you notice that when he figured out what CC was doing on that phone call, his eyes widened with realization but the knee jerk disgust was completely gone? And that soft smile when CC was lying next to him - well, before he caught himself, of course. Falling in love against his will…. This is so delicious to watch.

LOL, yes, I watched My Stubborn. OMG, that beard was hilarious! Your point is well made, but in this instance I like Chi Cheng just the way he is - even though I’d sprint away from him if this was real life!

Who wants realism? Seriously it warms my heart to see Chi Cheng completely ignore a woman in sexy lingerie IRL because he’s too busy looking at photos of his boy on his phone. I like the contrast between the cold way he treats her with total disinterest and disregard vs. Wu Suo Wei’s existence being enough to fully capture Chi Cheng’s full attention. It showcases his growing feelings and it feels very authentic because Chi Cheng obviously isn’t the type to play nice if he doesn’t give a f*ck.

How many of us found this series via You Tube snippets? There I was, innocently minding my own business and suddenly… It was like eating potato chips; I couldn’t stop with just one snippet and finally I had to just give in. I’m completely hooked.

I’m really loving this series so far. The contrast in the way Chi Cheng even LOOKS at his “girlfriend” vs the way he treats Wu Suowei is so telling. He couldn’t care less about her (very ironic when she was the catalyst for this whole situation!) and all but rolls his eyes whenever she calls him.

This line came directly from the novel - but that’s no excuse, of course. I get a bit icked out when they talk about the shorter, smaller partner being the “wife”.

Episode 4 was interesting. If Armin really was a brand new actor who didn’t know how showbiz works, he probably would’ve accepted Tada’s explanation. However, he has been in the business for 25 years and he has seen actors being used, etc. so it’s only natural he would think the worst in this situation. I feel bad for both of them.

Me being me, of course I had to go back to the very beginning of episode 1 and watch THAT scene again, with the knowledge that Sorn already liked Jun. The kissing, the possessive way Sorn was holding Jun… It was almost like Sorn forgot the whole purpose because uh, one hand wasn’t where it should have been! Their chemistry just flows; I really hope we see Boat and Oat act together again.

Well, Sorn still is who he is with all the finesse of a bull in a china shop. He’s trying to do better in his own limited way. I’m actually glad he didn’t have a complete personality switch and besides, Jun started liking Sorn just the way he is. Hopefully Jun will keep Sorn in line a little (Jun has always had more power in this relationship than he originally thought).
