๐ข๐ข๐ข โTo whoever decided to dump gasoline on all that delicate character growth and set it ablaze for cheap drama; I hope both sides of your pillow are forever warm for the rest of your days. You deserve a stern slap to the back of the head for that decision, along with every executive in that writers' room who nodded along and said, "Yes, that sounds like a great stretch to 12 episodes, because there are no more ideas on the board"
โAnd to anyone in the audience currently purging this show from their watchlist, I will personally light the torches and hand out the maps to the exit. I wouldn't blame a single one of you.
โIโve been genuinely loving this show. Itโs been my absolute #1 weekly watch, so to hit us with not only a fourth breakup, but a ragebait amnesia trope, at terminal velocity speed, right at the finish line? Absolute narrative blasphemy.
The rage I feel is very real, and it stings.
โTo make matters worse, weโre dragging slimeball Dan back out of whatever oblivion heโs been idling in, just to let him rewrite history for cheap, artificial tension. And his parents are probably going to allow it because suddenly theyโre terrified of Big Jane.
They have been so aggressively useless the entire show. Sitting there, sipping tea, and mumbling three words per episode like decorative furniture. Jamie had more narrative purpose than those two combined, and Jamie was barely holding on with his epipen.
โ"You sold your house to him, remember?"
โYes, Dan, and someone had better mention the 10 MILLION baht debt that Big Jane offered to handle before I lose my Fae mind and telepathically flip every single table in that writers' room.
โThe only saving grace in this entire dumpster fire of a writing choice is Jetโs actual character growth. He had better, on this green earth, step up and defend Big Jane next week. That entire friend group, after sitting there clapping like seal pups, better execute a full scale intervention, because fuming is not the word I'm scrambling for right now.
โAn amnesia plot belongs in the midpoint, approx episodes 7 through 9, so the narrative has room to breathe, heal, and earn its resolution. Slapping it onto the finale is just disrespectful and lazy designed to farm outrage. And yes, congratulations, I am angry, and rate your show down immediately. A non-negotiable full point docked right there.
I might just banish next week to the void, and watch it together with ep 12, the following week when the dust clears, because absolutely not.
โI think I need a curry tonight. A Dragon's Breath curry, to incinerate this episode from my mind ๐ If I survive, it'll still be a better plot resolution than whatever the fuck that was. ๐๐ถ๏ธ๐ฅ
**Stomps off with my baby dragon, like a tiny, angry flamethrower**
โA random bisexual disaster dropping in some reflections.
โNo one is really right or wrong here, because the whole dynamic of this show relies on audience bias. Characters like the two Janes are mirrors. They both share the same name to mimic a Yin and Yang or a fire and water dynamic, showing how these traits are detrimental to our happiness when out of control, but how they can balance each other out when they are tamed and guided.
โIntentional or not from the writer, boxing them into 'who is the red flag?' flattens what is a really interesting study in coping mechanisms.
โ(Trust me, I'm an emotional mess myself *twitch ๐twitch*)
โโBig Jane isn't an evil villain, but him saying "it's part of the deal" isn't a 'get out of jail free' card either.
I love Big Jane, he's my bias here, but it's okay to point out when he's being a slippery little goldfish ๐
Running a favor trade where you hold all the cards over desperate people and hide behind terms and conditions is a defense mechanism.
โ It's never fully specified what he gets in return, but remember that girl? Yes, she was wrong. She asked for help, BJ refused her, and so she got beaten up by her boyfriend and dragged off while her university watched. Big Jane's reaction was essentially, "Oh well, she deserved it. Let's have steak." ๐ Is domestic violence ever the right answer? Or how, my favourite, when he told Little Jane, 'I didnt lie to you, I just havent told you yet' ๐ That's called a half truth, and it is manipulation.
Slippery little cod ๐๐
โโ His entire worldview, that everything is a contract, a give and take, is a red flag. Big Jane is, on paper, a red flag. He uses strict transactions so he never has to be vulnerable or feel empathy. It's his own calculated self preservation mechanism. His phrase. "Don't be too emotional. I agree to your request. Here are my terms, abide by them, and what happens afterward is on you. I don't care, I did my part, I'm not responsible."
โโ In my neck of the woods, that's uncontrolled fire. A spark that will, one day, burn your house down.
โSo Little Jane's reaction is also right, Hey Babe, this will come back to bite you. Indirect harm will always come back when desperate people get angry at you, and I am worried.
โโ On the other side of the coin, Little Jane isn't a saint either. He's trapped in his own altruism.
โHe tries to play the moral hero, but he has no boundaries and struggles to defend them when he does try e.g at work when his colleagues were turning him into their secretary (which LJ admitted also happened at his previous bank job).
โโ Little Jane is the water, like a little trickling stream with the potential to be a flowing river, but he keeps draining all the water out of himself. Sacrificing your own desires, getting manipulated by friends like Put, and running yourself dry to put out everyone else's fire isn't "pure kindness", that's emotional dysfunction in your heart space. To be needed and wanted so desperately. But how do you pour from an empty jug? A person who can't hold a boundary or say "no" will eventually harm themselves.
*raises hand* It's not pleasant. And it messes with your head a lot because your ego truly believes you are doing the right thing.
โ Remember their business class talk about takers, givers, and matchers? Little Jane himself admitted to BJ earlier that he loves how BJ makes him feel important and needed because LJ is always the one giving to others. So now he takes from BJ, reversing his usual life dynamic in his romantic life.
โObviously, LJ isn't going to live in a mansion while his family flounders, but leaving BJ on read will only exasperate an already delicate trust. โThey are both disasters at opposite ends of the spectrum.
โโ Neither of those strategies works for a healthy relationship, which is what makes watching them crash into each other, and hopefully work it out. such a compelling watch ๐
I'm scared to click post and see how long this is ๐ Pffftt woahhh ๐
How do you guys distract yourselves until the next episode comes out? I genuinely canโt take it anymore ๐ญ…
When I spend all week watching the clock, it genuinely impacts the rest of my week. An entire 7 days of my life, becomes a struggle just waiting for a 50 minute slot.
โThe kindest thing you can do for yourself is to have a buffer. Watch other shows, enjoy other hobbies and activities outside of the internet. Breaking up the time gives your brain a rest, and the wait easier instead of one long, exhausting marathon ๐ตโจ
after rhis weird overdramatic gangsta plot that keeps happening, the only reason to struggle to stay is my hope…
โCan you imagine the funding? ๐ I hope Dad spent his entire life savings hunting down a guy who is in the next room pouring tea for his least favorite son ๐ต๐ธ โAs for Phatsa, Iโm hoping his hormones are just stabilizing because of the bond while Nakhun is injured, or that they are setting the stage for his big heat scene release... but I am definitely not holding my breath ๐ No one knows what theyโre doing in this universe, inside or outside of the show ๐
โAnd if someone did get the bright idea to record Sangneua's confession on a phone, production will shoot it so close up itโs just lips and nostrils moving on screen anyway ๐
Hilarious, would def save zhe show but we all know it is going downhill since ep8 unfortunately.
โEpisode 8? You are much more generous than me! ๐ All coherent thoughts checked out on a water slide back in Episode 2 for me.
โBut I am forever delighted by the absurdities, and so far, nothing has actually rage baited me yet. Itโs a complete fever dream of a show. Ridiculous enough to keep me entertained, and innocent enough to hold my attention.
Also, just the sheer hussle ๐ They gave us these arty perfume ad character intros, that I had a whole novel interpreting, only for us to end up with the Alphas jogging away from gun men, and standing around their expensive cars to fill up the air time.
The false advertising is iconic this time around. I have to applaud ๐
โI have spent the last 30 minutes pondering this and laughing to myself.
I desperately need Nakhin to bite Ongsa next week ๐
Just that mental image! ๐
โSangnuea is clearly trying to make one last desperate attempt at control, in that preview, trying to force Nakhin into a bond... but imagine if Nakhin just turns around and chomps on Ongsa instead?And Napitch bites Sangnuea? (Maybe? Not as funny, we need more info on that side) butt ....
โJust a complete, chaotic plot twist of musical chairs for a partner.
The look on Dad's face when all his evil breeding farm masterplan collapses would have me smiling for days ๐ Just one collective "fk you, Dad!" For leaving all three of his sons to die in the forest while he chased a wet dream all over Thailand, only to return home and find he now has zero sons to walk up the aisle ๐ Just ruin his day
I can't fully explain this, but what if the father tracks down the scent of the true Omega, but instead of Phat,…
That's brilliantly hilarious, and I would love that. But this crew is still figuring out the best camera angles ๐ I had asked myself as well, why Dad couldnt just switch to bloodhound mode, like Nakhun in episode 1? but then I guess there would be no big reveal later. They are trying to work up to it so, I'm rooting for them ๐๐
โ โDamn. Dad really is just, farting in his office, planning to run a human breeding farm via kidnapping and hostage taking.
Thatโs actually terrifying and soul shivering mainly because we all know this level of felony crime is getting swept under the rug by episode 12, as is sacred Thai BL custom ๐งนโจ He's Nakhun's dad so, all is forgiven.
โโ I need Phatsa to step up, kick his ass, and keep that man trembling in a corner for the rest of his miserable life. Honestly, Iโm assuming Phatsa has to go into heat to unlock his final form Pure Omega powers. If every other character gets to release a cloud of pretty, color coded steamy smoke bombs (Mine would be purple ๐) that physically blasts people backward, Phatsaโs pheromones need to detonate like a tactical nuke, preferably launching Dad straight out a top floor window in slow-mo ๐๐ฅ
โ โAnd can we talk about Phatsa casually blowing Timโs brains out at close range, only for Nakhun to immediately hit him with his absolute best "I am so turned on by you right now" smolder? ๐
Forget the alphas. The real, unhinged mafia lords of this entire universe are strictly the Omegas! ๐ซก๐
โ โThey almost had a functional episode layout this time, Iโll give them that. Naturally, they assigned the shortest runtime to the episode where the entire plot actually happens ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ
โ Dad pulled every bodyguard in the city to hunt down his next victim, leaving all three of his sons behind to casually face mortality right after bonding ๐
โโ Sangnueaโs Shakespearean meltdown takes the trophy, though. Why was the camera angle positioned so we were counting his nose hair the entire time?! ๐ญ There were a hundred artistic choices, and production chose 'up his nostrils intimacy.'
โThey have consistently made the most questionable production decisions known to man, but that shot has been hands down the funniest.
โ Bless these actors, because they were truly in the trenches fighting for their lives against this script and crew, this ep ๐๐ฌ
โI recently discovered an indie perfume brand and ordered a batch of samples.
My very first thought while sniffing them this morning? *sniff sniff* ๐ "Ooh, this is Nakhun; domineering, spicy around the edges sex appeal, that softens into a needy cuddle kitten. .... *sniff sniff*๐ Ohhh, THIS one is Ongsa; a fluffy blanket, just existing peacefully with a coffee tray and a bowl of oranges, totally unaware heโs probably about to get kidnapped today." ๐
โThen I remembered the character intros before airing were literally styled like perfume ads with actual scent notes ๐คฃThe marketing team knew exactly what they were doing. Shame no one else does ๐
Jokes aside, โI do actually still look forward to a new ep, though I have to admit, half the thrill at this point is wondering what kind of multi-paragraph essay this show is going to force me to write today ๐งช
โIt's the chaos gremlin in me... I have no other excuse. All legitimate concerns packed their bags and checked out weeks ago ๐งณ๐จ
Thank you so much sweetheart and I was born in 94 not 93. Phi would love to be the red flag but the series ain't…
โThe button is jammed because the writers are playing with us just like N'Jane ๐ญ โIf emotional maturity means sitting alone on his birthday while getting blamed for everything, I say, How about NO?! Smash the dark portal wide open, put the wings back on, and let him wreak absolute, glorious havoc instead ๐ฆโโฌ๐ค Much more entertaining ๐
You should have written this sob story and given it a happy ending it deserves.
โAlas, I cannot rewrite the world ๐ โIโm going to sacrifice some brave watchers by letting them go first for Ep 11 ๐ซก because no, I would rather not be left depressed ....
Not an expert in Thai history, but as expected, there was a royalist uprising in 1933, called the Boworadet Rebellion? By a Prince, which failed, but ultimately laid the groundwork for the monarchy to claw its way back into power later (To be fair, royal families across the globe do excel at the art of the comeback tour ๐)
โWhich brings me to my formal warning for the creators of this show *shakes fist* โ๏ธ
โBetween the cotton rose motif, the ominous stage play, Thin telling his father to shoot him because he wont live without Phob, his day of acting as a human shield, Phob promising to always be with him, and the tragic weight surrounding Grandma, the death flags have neon blinkers on them.
โIf someone has to die, my money is firmly on Thin. And quite frankly, my darling, if he insists on jumping in front of stray bullets again, he better take Phob with him.
โGive us the full Romeo & Juliet package. Let them depart in each other's arms, staring into each other's eyes, and leave Vaseline to drown in the desolate ruin of his own making. Chat will still blame Phob. so I'm now ignoring his existence. Well done Pond. I cant stand the sight of you right now ๐ And mother can stop bootlicking and think of her son for a change.
Then, hard cut to a modern day soulmate reincarnation, of them living happily like they dreamt of. They can own a cafe, bake cake, and only be lightly traumatised by a broken expresso machine on a busy morning. Wouldnt that be nice?
I will not tolerate the cruelty of killing one and leaving the other to wander through the misery alone. It has been bleak enough. Either grant us total, poetic annihilation together by their rose tree, like episode 1 'dream' sequence, or leave the spell intact.
โPlease. My tea is hot, my heart is fragile, and I am far too cute to be crying over fictional men in perfectly fitted suits (that cup their peaches beautifully) on a random Saturday afternoon ๐ญโค๏ธโ๐ฉน

โAt this rate, he should just revert to being a full, unhinged red flag. He traded his glorious, dark aura status for emotional maturity, only to be rewarded with heartbreak.
I poked fun but now the joke is on me, because I now miss when he would pop out of his hidden demonic portal to be right behind Jane, at the right moment, with the booming soundtrack to jumpscare you.
