I have so ......so ....so much to say .... but mdl commenters yell at me all the time when I get excited so, it's…

Holy ... rainbow .... unicorns ....Batman!!
โThe yearning in this episode ๐๐
Also, I am now legally obligated to stan Tee. His name is Tee. Given that 80% of my bloodstream is currently composed of tea, it is fate. He's 32, where on earth has this man been hiding?
โSide note: I was ready to fight the IQIYI app. It buffered and crashed so many times I had to physically yell at my screen to assert dominance. It was just as annoyed as I was at the receptionists ๐
Uhhh, LJ. Your biggest character flaw is on full display right now. You are not their receptionist and you are most certainly not family. For some reason, BJ is still obsessed with you to the point of calling himself Lilac, after the flowers he gave you, and ripping your clothes off with his eyes everytime he catches your scent in the hallway ๐ฅต bruh .... I'd be really fkn self aware really damn fast with one look from that man, right now, if I were you .... ๐
... .. I also meant it when I said grown up physically earlier, because honey, your suits dont even fit you. Your jacket is two times too big. Out of your depth, at the minute, just a bit hun ๐
โWould PJ even be half as reluctant or reactive if Dan hadnโt suddenly re-entered the picture. Where's he been? The jealousy is throbbing blue at this point.
โThat said, Iโm entirely on PJโs side with the business logic. Dan is asking for an absurd amount of capital for a brand new app startup. You demand numbers like that when youโre already viral and pulling millions of hits, not at the pitch stage. Itโs either extreme naivety or structural debt for an ulterior motive. Is that money actually funding something else? ๐ค
โAlso, did anyone else notice PJโs bed? The sheets are still pulled back from the exact morning LJ woke up... five years ago? Darling, thatโs not romantic, thatโs a crime scene. Thatโs called PTSD, please get that looked at. ๐คข
โI don't have the stomach for corporate politics, and I was holding my breath through LJโs interview. Fictional luck saved him, because that was shockingly brief. I expected a much heavier 'sell yourself' kind of grilling. Retail asks for more leverage than that ๐
โugghh. The writers just dumped an entire bucket of premium grade lust and obsessional angst into the plot.
I have so ......so ....so much to say .... but mdl commenters yell at me all the time when I get excited so, it's in the reply comment ..... Have some tea. Its good. I'm fine ๐
โThereโs a beautiful divide happening here. Withholding the preview at the end of Episode 6 was both a marketing ploy and a brilliant storytelling chess move, and it's worked on both fronts ๐
โI canโt stop watching the preview now, which is playing piano on my nerves but thereโs also a real freshness to it. Itโs still a continuation but with that sharp, deliberate separtion between Act 1 and Act 2, like the half time snack break in theater.
โIt's a change of scenery, a reshuffle of issues, maybe new characters and a stronger positioning of old ones. What has Dan been up to in this space between? LJ and his crew are entering the adult corporate world now, and those subtle structural details make such a difference to the journey. You actually get the sense that youโve grown up a bit alongside LJ, even if itโs just purely physical.
โSooo, how are we holding up this morning? Are we feeling steady? Anyone need some tea, some juice? Some Baileys cream?
Because I have the Episode 7 preview on repeat and I am crumbling, just a tad ๐
I get this wave of seduction and thrill watching a 30s something aged Jane Patrick slow-mo into the room like a Commander storming the enemy castle to take back his beloved prince ๐ซช
I'd surrender the drawbridge immediately ๐ but then where's the fun in that ๐
๐โI love this take, and I think that's what's keeping a lot of us watching! We know there's a real analyst…
I haven't rewatched any episodes, so I'm possibly wrong but I remember when Nakhun gave Phatsa the yellow sports car, he said he wouldn't try to control him, so I think Nakhun genuinely believes he gave him total freedom? In his head, he can provide him materially with whatever he wants, and his own bodyguards are just going to keep him safe, in case he's targetted in the same manner he is, because that's his normal. So maybe he thinks he's left the doors wide open for complete free range, despite tracking him down like a bloodhound the episode before ๐
โThat's what gives me this Twilight Zone horror style vibes. In Nakhun's mind, he's the ultimate loving partner providing absolute freedom, but Phatsa is actually trapped in a golden cage that he and his family are hammering the nails into. This is how the family live, so they see nothing wrong with it and just go with it, without bothering to ask or respect Phatsas needs and wants. Now theyre convinced theres a baby, and I really hope there isnt so Phatsa has a moment to stand his ground. At the minute it's like he's concussed and still reeling, trying to figure out what just happened to him. And now everyone wants to breed him ๐ญ
It's like a white marble, clinical, fake smiles The in- laws horror ๐ฑ
Just like all Omegaverse stories - they are all the same and have no plot beyond one bites another and they fuck…
I remember it being very similar, only the consensus was just, 'hey guys, this is just p0rn?" And rest of us scrambled for the scraps to make sense of it all.
It all makes sense now. It was a trial run for this one ๐
Just like all Omegaverse stories - they are all the same and have no plot beyond one bites another and they fuck…
My Stubborn did the exact same thing to everyone ๐ โAt least MFlow has one unmatched skill. Turning every loyal fan into a participant of BL survivor. *cue ad voice* Watch now, from the trenches of your own endurance ๐ Who can withstand the cringe??
To be frank, I liked that the episode revisited Phatsa's feelings and concerns because it felt like a natural…
๐ โI love this take, and I think that's what's keeping a lot of us watching! We know there's a real analyst watcher's dream hidden in here, but it's kept like a carrot in front of us. Our fingertips are just brushing it, but never quite reaching actual substance ๐
โPhatsa has absolutely lost all agency because Nakhun thinks, "He's in insanely luxurious surroundings, so he'll be happy." He can literally do whatever he wants, but Nakhun doesn't know him enough to know what he actually wants and isn't giving him the time either, just like Phatsa's dad. I ll just buy you things.
โAnd now Phatsa is constantly asleep, doused in blush and lip gloss, and I can only assume he's been crying? ๐ค Nakhun is out here upping the princess treatment and kissing his belly while poor Phatsa has no idea what's even happening. It's really creepy under that glossy pastel veneer, like children from the corn or something ๐
โI am insanely amused and fascinated by the mind games the creators are playing with the audience, mostly because I genuinely can't work out if it's intentional or completely by accident ๐ญ
Just like all Omegaverse stories - they are all the same and have no plot beyond one bites another and they fuck…
โI'm not a big reader of Omegaverse, so I'll take your word for it ๐ I've dropped my own novella critiques for the last 5 weeks and at this point we just have to ask ourselves, sweetie pie, if you're still watching now, you might as well just enjoy the ride ๐ซก๐คญ
โI think it's safe to say, at this point, this is not a show you watch for plot ๐ It's just fun, absurd randomness that MFlow has apparently decided/wants as their Studio signature. I watched a minute of an MV with this cast, the other day, and just thought, huh, like 2010s viral content built on a lot of hope and dreams. Nice ๐
Hmmm, i just had an interesting thought. What if....the pure omega that Nakun's father is looking for is Ongsa?…
Oooooooo, now that's a plot twist. I would love that, personally! โIโve been wondering what his perfume ad was about... the whole taking off the blindfold visual? I wondered if there was a secret or nuance hidden in that choice? โPhatsa got his letter stating True Omega though, so the paperwork is definitely pointing at him but ooooh, if they pulled a double twist with Ongsa? That would be wild ๐
Oooooooooh, so a pawn actually moved across the board this weekโฆ kind of ๐
First thing, Phatsa's Dad. Sir. I recognize the soul crushing trauma, I really do, but vanishing into the ether and leaving your kid oblivious to their origins ....... is a choice ๐ The whole 'I just assumed you were an Alpha' argument covers some ground but standard parental advice usually includes teaching some sort of survival techniques? ๐ I highly recommend providing your offspring with functional information. Just a thought ๐
2 - That baby alert scene with Nakhun was engineered in to target paternal instincts, and dammit, it worked!! Yes, sweet boy, you go sit in the corner, bloom, and grow a whole human, and I will bring you rotating trinkets of hot tea, fluffy blankets, and baked goods.
โIt was very cute. However, poor Phatsa is just trying to take a nap with zero clue as to why everyone's suddenly so attentive. Someone hand this kid a test. Your rich, buy the pharmacy out. Be really sure. Phatsa is new to this. He's not going to work it out by himself!! ๐ญ
Although that tiny post credit hospital scene that has them looking like someone died, I'm going to guess that he's not pregnant.
3 - If he's a True Omega whoโs been unconsciously suppressing his hormones all his life, and is under extreme emotional stress right now (because either someone has been very heavy handed with the blush, or he's been crying) his system is probably undergoing a massive biological recalibration. Nakhunโs scent could be acting as a stabilizer?
So now I'm left wondering if True Omegas only release their pheromones for a True Mate as an instinctual line of defense.
Which brings me to my last point.
4 - Nakhunโs dad is out here casually plotting a full blown kidnapping like he's buying milk ๐ What is the actual operational blueprint here, my guy?
We know it's Phatsa, which makes the old man look like an absolute tool, but if this play had happened in episode one... were you seriously planning to force a bond the exact same way someone forced one on Phatsaโs mother? The mother who literally chose death over that union, while heavily pregnant? What is the end goal here? Snatch a stranger off the curb, lock them in a dark room with Nakhin, and hope biology does the rest? Especially when Nakhin is currently busy shagging Ongsa's brains out and is going to have massive relationship issues when he finds out?
I am refusing to call him Granddad in ep 12 ๐ They are going to try and seek redemption for him, and I am going to boo and hiss at my screen every single time his face appears.
โI genuinely have no idea where to categorize this show, and that alone earns it a major reward point. I highly respect the pure authenticity here, even at its most juvenile. โThis whole show is like some bizarre, unidentified concoction you create at 3:42 AM after stumbling home drunk, and you can still taste your choices in your mouth the next morning.
โI may be a petulant child according to my critics, but I have full respect for anyone having the sheer audacity to put something this chaotic out into the world and fully commit to it ๐๐๐
Holy ... rainbow .... unicorns ....Batman!!
