Earth could play Mo in his sleep, but Mix could never pull off a character like Heng - Mix doesn't have the range

When Boss and Mo were arguing over whose fault everything was, I wanted to interrupt and say, "calm down gentlemen, you both suck" LOL. Seriously, poor Heng. Mo's obnoxious parents and really the show treating his amnesia like it was his fault Mo can't stop running away and is too much of a wuss to fight for Heng was... something.

And still, I found the show to be so charming and fun and emotional. As relieved as I was to have that Kongdech/Boss wedding farce interrupted, it still broke my heart. Earth and P'Shahkrit killed that scene. And then later when Heng was recovering his memories Cinderella style; seriously, how did Earth make 'bluhh!' an emotional line? I'm going to miss having this to anchor my Mondays. Great job to this whole team for an overall fun, if uneven show

After the second "bluhh!" fake out from Heng on the amnesia, I started laughing and haven't stopped. Yes show, please go full on lakorn, embrace the absurdity

Heng continues to be the greenest flag puppy. I loved seeing him rewarded for working hard to improve himself AND for just being a good, kind person

Also, I will be completely pissed off if this ends like it did the OG. Heng should not be the one doing the chasing after this week, Mo needs to get his head right and start groveling

Also, Earth and Mix did such a great job. But props to Earth especially, it's been a while since a character has made me tear up the way Heng's breakdown did at the end. It was so well played, not too overdone or understated

I'm so sorry, but it is such a reach to try to lay any of this on Heng's feet. This is all Mo. He's not just self-sabotaging, he's also sabotaging Heng's happiness now too. Heng has done everything for Mo, he's been open, he's been brave, he's been loving, he's been growing, and he's been so understanding. So, it hurts to watch Mo break Heng completely apart for his own very selfish reasons. I can empathize with Mo's insecurities, but when it starts causing so much pain to the person he supposedly loves, I admit I lose patience and sympathy

Between Mo wanting to keep the relationship secret and his lack of boundaries with Ten, starting to see some potential friction in between the sweetness

The wig they put on Thor was a comedy show in itself I cannot.

I gotta say, my eyebrows raised a fair bit when I saw our 'jealous of Boss anywhere near Heng' Mo just let Ten waltz into Heng's house, clean it and let him spoon feed him... Sir??

I was not expecting Heng to be the greenest flag boyfriend around, he's seriously so cute, I want to put him in the pocket of my heart

Haruta losing it at the end and Boss trying his best not to call Heng, Hengney, killed me. What this episode lacked in unhinged humor, it made up for with charm & sweetness

The hours I had to wait before finally getting time to watch this episode felt so, so long!! Honestly, it's so upsetting that GMM banished this show to Monday night because it's so good but I'm a responsible adult who gets to work basically as it's airing

I was dying at Devil Heng seducing Angel Kong. Even in Boss' mind, in the house of the lord mind you, he's weak to Heng. Like what do you mean, "I'll let you do anything to me" devil Heng!!

Also, how does Earth have such great chemistry with Thor, Chicha, Boss & Mo all in the same episode???

That last scene with Heng and Mo was both hot and sweet af. Looking forward to eager puppy boyfriend Heng

This show is so good. Funny yes, but also so charming and warm!

Regarding #3. Probably because adultery is seen as a serious issue in Thailand and can have financial and legal consequences. Like you can sue and be sued over adultery...

So while the wife was my second fave character from the JP OL and OLR, I understand that her and her story just does not work in the Thai context....

Kongdech really kept that 'most delusional' crown firmly on his head yet again for much of this week hahaha

After I stopped being distracted by how gorgeous Earth looked in that prince get up, I was really touched by the emotions of that rejection scene. Heng was really kind but firm, and seeing Kongdech cry with daughter after was really sad and touching

There is a universe out there where things worked out with Kogdech and Heng, and they are the absolute sweetest girl dads to Cher-aim around.

In this universe though, Heng and Mo were giving me cavities being adorable after taking that polaroid together

It's so interesting how much more together and mature Heng comes across in the past through both Mo and Boss' eyes. At first, I thought Mo was seeing him through rose-tinted glasses of the kind, helpful senior, but I don't think Boss is an unreliable narrator. And with comments from Heng himself like what he said today "I was ambitious back then,' I wonder what happened to him, if anything?

Anyways, show is still making me laugh, now with a serving of real emotions (Mo! Heng! the angsty eyes!). I love all of the characters, special mention to Chicha and Thua today for being the realest friends and laying the literal smackdown when needed. And Earth is still somehow making Heng's obnoxious adorable-ness work - his eyes, his body, his pouty face, you can tell he put in the work to create this character

For me, as a big Ossan's Love (Returns) fan, this is an unexpectedly good adaptation of the Japanese BL in many ways. I think this is a hard show to adapt because unlike shows like Cherry Magic, the humor is just so Japanese (which I think is part of the reason it never got that popular outside of Japan compared to other JBLs). But I'm glad that I gave it a chance. It's funny, it has heart, and...

1. The characters and performances are great. Earth is wonderful as Heng - funny, annoying as heck, and yet somehow charming. Shahkrit as the Boss is a total fox and so naturally funny and sincere, he and Heng's interactions got a couple of belly laughs from me. Momo is a sweetie pie, and I like what they've done to expand his role. All of the supporting charactering are already endearing to me with fun personalities
2. Choko was my favorite character in the JP version, but I understand why she doesn't make sense in the Thai adaptation. With marriage equality soon to be real in Thailand, I can't imagine an older man emotionally cheating on his wife with a younger man and coming out, leading to their divorce would go over well at all
3. I like the changes to Haruta and Maki we see in Heng and Momo so far. I hated the big boob obsession from Haruta (I think he even commented on Maki's sister's breasts at one point, gross); that kind of male creepiness / misogyny did not fly with me and absolutely would not fly in Thailand. I'm glad they got rid of that and just let Heng be a sweet, kind, dummy; it made him more immediately likable. Momo has more to do right from the beginning and I love their back story because I was always confused regarding what Maki even saw in Haruta. There's a sweetness to Heng and Momo's love story that I really like
