One of my favourite philosophical mantras is ~ "Anger is pain that never found an exit,"

I had my suspicions last week, and sure enough, here it is again.

Whatever Tam did to Phi, didn’t just bruise his ego, it rewired him entirely into the bad tempered perfectionist we see now. He wasn't born a tyrant. Most people aren’t. He’s just simply carrying around an injury, a perceived injustice, that never healed and the weight of it has made him permanently irritable with the world, and by extension, everyone in it.
And yet, beneath all that bitterness, he’s still that vibrant, theatrical kid who lives to create.

And you know what? I usually detest narratives that bounce between past and present but this one is beautifully executed. They’ve made the past a reflection of the present, a recurring cycle for these two, as if history is repeating it's self. So whatever happened, might raise it's head again, but this time a different choice will break the pattern, a karmic correction, one that will finally give Phi (and I suspect, Tam) the resolution they’ve been circling around for the last 4 years.

Meanwhile, I remain convinced that Tae orchestrated Phi’s downfall to oust him out of his job and social standing, and judging by next week's preview, that little scheme isn’t fading anytime soon. And of course, when Phi rises again, those same fair weather allies will come flocking back, as they always do. But I really hope Phi holds onto his pride and turns his back on Tae’s convenient offer to humiliate him, and creates his own path, this time alongside Tam, building an entirely new team from the ground up. Let Tae dine on your scraps Phi, serve yourself something better.

Also, might be falling a little in love with Singto because you can not assault my eyes with big brown eyes, gelled back hair, and fluffy soft cheekies 😋damn....he is stupid pretty LOL

ahhh, well that makes sense, since they have a factory for production. Thank you for clearing that up

This year, I developed a whole mathematical process to fairly score shows.
My Golden Blood landed at a 7 - which is pretty a solid show by my scale.

But this show was like a gas station meal during a long drive, unexpected, imperfect, yet exactly what I needed. Despite its flaws, I was hooked, guessing my way through each twist, fully invested, and thoroughly satisfied. It was something I didn’t realize I needed until I had it, and somehow, despite knowing exactly how the finale would play out, it still got me a little in my feelings.

Overall, it was a healing experience. JossMark have great chemistry. Not necessarily in the typical ‘charged sexual tension’ way, but in how comfortable they seemed together.
For me, real chemistry shines through when actors genuinely connect, and I could feel that bond between their characters. Sexual tension is subjective, and I rarely notice it the way others do. I'm more emotion driven and for their first round, they did great.

So that just makes me even more excited for Only Friends 2, because those characters, whoever they are, are guaranteed to be spectacularly messy.

So, turrah to the show, you’ve been fabulous, and this comment section, you've been a wild tea party of emotions. I’ll see you all over in Ex Morning and My Stubborn pages and whatever else I decide is peak entertainment in that moment LOL

oooofff... I do not feel well right now LOL

Life story incoming ~

Unfortunately, I was that kid who swallowed my own authenticity whole, suffocating on it in the relentless pursuit of likeability. The more they bullied, the harder I tried to mold myself into what I thought they wanted. An exhausting cycle that followed me into adulthood. Jobs, dating, money, it was all just variations on the same theme; be this, but not too much; be that, but not too little.

By the time I stumbled into the so called ‘mature’ (LOL) decades, I found myself half mad, sprinting into a frozen field just to scream. No Mr. Darcy appearing on the horizon to rescue me.
My Lunar and Saturn Return both collectively singing, having fun?

This show has been a long running reminder of that feeling. (I suspect My Stubborn might stir it up again.) It happens occasionally but this time, it hit particularly hard ~Throw back to the 3am doom scrolling in the early episodes of people posting poo emojis.

And you know what? People don’t have to like it and you don’t have to care. Besides, there a wildly popular shows, things in general in life, that I don't care for. So we're even. No bitterness needed.

At the end of the day, your joy is yours alone, no justification required. So watch, enjoy, indulge. And if someone has a problem with that? Well, that's theirs to deal with, not yours.

This one was a lesson for me personally. A recap session for my inner 12 year old who wasn’t heard.
This time, I listened. I sat. I brought tea and cookies, and I braided her hair with feathers and butterfly clips.

If you're on a similar path I was, make this your mantra - Embrace what speaks to you. No validation required. No permission needed. Just joy in whatever form it takes, even if it has you craving pasta every Wednesday night for 3 months LOL

Also by the way, there's no such thing as a grown up. The 'mature' season of life is a trap to be even more boring 😜Rebel I say.

This show said, you'll never see it coming, and honestly, I appreciate that. I guess my way through a show like a detective so that this show is laughing in my face every week, I'm impressed LOL
Even if I did though, I'd still be watching for Off because, damn he's pretty <3
I wonder if the Boss of Destiny is Chan's ex wife? LOL Because that feels like a final boss scenario

Considering how jealous Sorn gets seeing men touching Jun, on a scale from pissed to nuclear rage, how angry will Sorn be when Jun comes on to his brother next week? 😂

I hope it doesn't either. I want to see Jun put up more of a fight now. We're now half way so, we should be seeing some deeper cracks now. Maybe....hopefully 😂

A moment's silence for Sorn's face when he asked Jun if he liked bears now 😂 I want to think that Jun purposefully twisted the knife during that conversation 😂
~~ Oh NO wait . He absolutely did. There was a quick smirk when he told Sorn he had a date after he was stood up LOL I like this side of Jun, I would like to see more of this Jun

At this point, I’m convinced the producers have a stopwatch for how quickly they can derail the plot into chaos 😂
Seriously, this show double as a drinking game. Everyone guess the length of time it takes an NC scene to appear, like guessing your grocery bill only it's how long it takes Sorn exhibit peak Sorn behaviour 😂

I'm noticing a trend that it always happens at the start of the episode. I feel like I should start counting the minutes to see which ep goes the longest without Sorn getting kinky lol

as soon as he sat down in front of Sorn, I was shaking my head like nuh uh, sweetie, move, he's caught your scent 😂

that was absolutely on purpose 😂 the audacity

I had high hopes for Sorn and Jun, but instead, I was treated to an unexpected buffet of nipple fondling and feline cuisine 😂 Sorn is ready to propose at any given moment though so I will patiently, tea in hand to sip, to watch the disaster rise and fall, and Sorn to emotional ambush Jun mid-sandwich with his grand proposal with the rest of the office cheering them on. If Bed Friend can end that way, this one should too 😂

I thought it was something to do with design LOL What that is, who only knows 😂

Well, I’ll be damned. Mere days ago, I half jokingly speculated that Sorn and Jun will take their sexual adventures into the office but before they could even clear the desk, JunePenny swooped in and stole the show. Straight up...NO, GAY UP, beat them to it 😂

At this point, it’s scientific fact - Sorn just needs a hug. Preferably from Jun. Unfortunately, they're operating in entirely different love languages and Sorn is running through them all to get Jun's attention and devotion.

Sorn’s primary love language is clearly, physical touch, with some notable proficiency in acts of service and extravagant gift-giving. He’s attempting quality time but his actions are less ‘thoughtful connection’ and more ‘territorial overlord.’ He's just squeezing the life out of Jun's happy go lucky attitude.

Meanwhile, I'd place my bets on words of affirmation for Jun, the one dialect Sorn remains blissfully ignorant of. Add in the minor inconvenience of Sorn treating their relationship as a casual arrangement and we have a disaster waiting to unfold.

I foresee spectacular levels of emotional mayhem that will probably leave Jun sobbing on the staircase, again, And Sorn being promptly dispatched to Vietnam by Thai in some blown out of proportion levels of misunderstanding. Only then, will Sorn learn emotional intelligence.

I hope it's as glorious as it is in my head 😂

Having just typed that, when Thai was asking Jun about Jom, does he know, or at least suspect that Sorn has a deep raging attraction to Jun and wants to carry him off to the bridal chamber, yesterday? 😂

I'm a serial dropper and probably overly critical but this show is just fun. Shows like this don't make it past episode 1, and I dont watch for sex scenes, and yet I am genuinely enjoying this one.
Sometimes there is no reason for liking something. Sometimes you're just genuinely amused by things.

I like how the comment section is now calling the three boys, 'The Rascals' LOL
They got the little monkey imagery, twice, or thrice if you count the mango scene, in this episode. They're little sh!ts but they're not vindictive.

I thought they were set up by Jom LOL They were way too goofy to be Sack's men. But I do think that Sack or Zack - whatever, will eventually find him.

Countryside conversion arc ~ ahhh, that's the word i was looking for when my blood came to a low boil LOL I can handle hurt teenagers acting out. It's the air of moral superiority that triggers my fight or flight response LOL
