I think the main issue is that the two main storyline have very different tone: Dramatic for FighterTutor and…
You're right, I hadn't thought of it that way! The stories of the two couples really are so different... I liked them both but they didn't seem like they belonged in the same series. And -- you're right -- I don't think that was a COVID issue.
I don't know how you can come to that conclusion that Sarawat had 'outed' Tine. In my perspective, this is just…
Hey Mikayuu, I really like your posts, but I just want to comment on one thing: when people say things like "Tine is only gay for Sarawat," that's a real sore spot for LGBTQ people. It's like saying your dad is only straight for your mom! But I get what you're saying: at the end of the day, this IS just a lighthearted BL comedy where love is love no matter what, and that's a good thing. :)
Sorry for me SOTUS's lack of affection doesnt make sense, especially on the SOTUS S series. I love those series…
I always thought I was the only one who didn't like SOTUS and SOTUS S. For me, the stories were blecch, Krist/Singto had zero chemistry and were not believable as a couple. (Although I thought they were great in Our Skyy.) I think the main reason SOTUS was so popular is because it was one of the first BLs. Going back to watch it now, it just seems really bad (in my opinion).
Wow, what a wild ride! I think, under the current circumstances, they wrapped up things as well as they could.
Fighter/Tutor win the award for the most sex scenes within one BL series! I mean, they actually filmed all of those, so I think we can assume they were all intentionally put in the series, not just "filler," lol.
Zon/Saifah were adorable. And dang, they really went for the tongues in the final episode kissing scenes!
For me, Zee wins Best Actor of the series, by a long shot!
Still, the series was kind of... weird. It went from sophomoric/almost stupid in Episode 1, to a really heavy drama -- practically an entirely different series -- with a happy ending. There were SO many characters in the first episodes that just disappeared, early on. Can COVID-19 be blamed for that? Maybe. I guess we'll never know for sure. Zol, Natee, Junior, Soda, Zen... just gone. Still, a good effort!
Remember, what Tutor did was probably not cool. But, what Fighter did was much, much worse. Had Tutor not said…
Hey, it's me again! Just chiming in to say that I think Fighter legitimately snapped and went berserk after Tutor told him to come to the building, and then flaunted another guy in his face.
I'm not excusing Fighter's behavior, but I do think it could be a reason.
Speaking of Tutor's "other guy," did Tutor ask him to pretend to be his boyfriend? Or did Tutor start hitting on the guy, just to stick it to Fighter? Will we ever know? I'm guessing not.

Agreed, I really hate that rape is such a BL "thing." But I am very glad that Fighter stopped. (And, to be fair, there have been some recent BLs that have stayed away from rape, so there's progress.)
Again, I'm right there with ya! But, remember, the "age-thing" seems to be a dominant theme in this series.. lol…
Hmmmmm, indeed! (Lol.) For me, the weirdest part of the age thing for Blue/Dew is that 17 to 26 is really a world apart. (Plus, 17 is not of age, even in Thailand... I'm pretty sure.) Once someone is at a certain age (say, 22 or older), then I don't think an age gap is that big of a deal. Just my opinion.
Dew/Blue is kind of odd. The story went from Dew behaving like a total ass, to suddenly acting sweet and like a boyfriend. Okay, I realize there was an issue with filming and all... I guess they didn't get around to filming the part where Dew and Blue became more friendly. (Or maybe they never planned to include that at all, who knows?)
Still, the age difference is a little off-putting. The actor that plays Blue is 17 and the actor that plays Dew is 26. (Doesn't help that Blue looks 14.) Age differences generally don't bother me, but Blue doesn't even look old enough to be a university student, while Dew looks like he may have already graduated. (And, based on their actual ages, that's realistic.)
Okay, I'll definitely cut this series some slack, due to the COVID situation. As for this episode:
Wow, Zee was great in the opening scene! I don't get Blue and Dew. Unless I missed something, Dew has been nothing but an ass to Blue. Now, suddenly, he's all sweet and boyfriendy?
Tutor goes from "I'm going to sacrifice myself as a martyr for the sake of Fighter's future happiness" to "I don't love you anymore, get out and take your necklace with you" to "yes, please come home with me and take care of me." Mmmmkaaaayyy...
Then Fighter sees Tutor's phone, with the messages from Zon. Appears to be jealous of Zon (I think?). But, in the next scene, Fighter confronts his dad. Where did that come from? Did Fighter just assume (correctly)?
It's hard to tell which story lines might have been different, had there not been an interruption in filming.

What about Willie? He's in a very supporting role, I think he's fine. What would you have him do differently?
