Synchonicity

Many people go to trial for murder, years after the crime, so the ghost is irrelevant. The grandfather confessed to premeditated, cold-blooded murder in front of Aunty Nom, Plaifah, Than, Khiem and Prince. He should have to pay for that.

So grampa cries and says he's sorry, and everyone lets it go. Umm... really? "I'm really super sorry for murdering Mes for my own selfish reasons, but I'll start a charity in his name, okay?" Yeah, that makes it all good now, you're forgiven...

Still, I get that this is a fantasy and I really did love the series. This was the only "wtf" plothole I found in the entire thing.

Like most everyone else, I loved this series. And I've watched Pts 1 & 2 of Ep 8 (now subbed on gcinee). Just one question:

So the grandfather INTENTIONALLY murdered Mes for his money, and everyone is just sweeping it under the rug like it's no big deal? Shouldn't grampa be going to prison??

Thank you!

I saw the last half of ep 8 (raw, no subs), but I can't find the first half. Could someone spoil me, please... how did Mes die? Was he poisoned, was it an accident? Something else? Thanks in advance.

Oh okay, thanks!

That's so great! Where did you watch the subbed video?

Has this been subbed in English and, if so, where can I watch it?

I'm wondering if it was an accident. Maybe the maid unintentionally forgot to put the pills back in Mes' drawer... or something like that. Since Plaifah is a main character here, it seems kind of weird that her beloved grandfather and her aunt (his mistress? I'm still not sure) would turn out to be cold-blooded murderers. But who knows... as you mentioned, we'll find out soon enough!

Yes, it was SO good! I'm really excited for the finale.

Seems that a lot of viewers really hate this season. I like it okay... for me, this doesn't seem any worse than the first season, which went on for 20 episodes and didn't really go anywhere, either. I wanted to see Mo get some revenge on the nasty flight attendants that made her life hell, but that story line just got dropped. Pop and Mo never really had any closure. Rambo was just a player and a big, sobbing mess through the whole thing. Mew looked to be turning toward Pop, but then that didn't materialize. Pop played cat and mouse with Oat during the whole first season (like a confused adolescent), and he's still doing it this season.

But I still kind of like it. ;)

As a gay man who has lived through it, what I will say is that any gay person who is staying in the closet to their parents, because of fear of being excommunicated, is living through far more emotional pain than anything the parents might go through. Being gay is not a choice. The parents' job is to support and encourage their children, gay or straight. Nothing can be gained by trying to force a child to be straight... it doesn't work. Can you imagine being forced to live someone else's life?

Yes, it would be a surprise... but why "poor dad?" Some parents end up with no children at all and being gay is not a bad thing.

I loved your assessment and agree with it, thank you!

The only comment I will add is that, since we're just halfway through the series and they are already discussing Oat's becoming a monk (right away, he says!), I'm thinking (okay, hoping) that there is still time for Oat and Pop to get together. If we were through 9 episodes already, I wouldn't have much hope but, at least it seems to me, that it would be pretty strange for Oat to become a monk and then... what? With 5 episodes left? It doesn't seem like the writers would just give up on OatPop with half the episodes left to come. Well, I guess we'll wait and see!

I'm enjoying it so far. Sure, the story is not very clear, but I'm just taking it for what it is: a cute, silly, lighthearted comedy. I'll admit that the scenes where Tee is daydreaming about Pond really do make me smile (especially when they show Tee standing alone with his arms outstretched or in a kissing position all by himself).

Probably the one serious message is the extreme homophobia of the crazy sister. I'm assuming that she will probably come around and see the error of her ways, by the end. Hope so!

Me too!

Okay, I've watch 1 1/2 eps with English subs, now watching the rest raw. Well... it's different!

On the plus side, I like Saint sooooo much better in this (I wasn't a big fan of his one-dimensional Pete character in LBC). Glad to see TinCan back together (ok, MeanPlan). Perth is always great. And the story, so far, seems okay.

On the flip side, Plan is really kind of a dick now, and I'm not totally sold on wimpy, all smiles Mean. Looks like they're going for the TeeMork storyline of Our Skyy... not too original there. Saint can't sing. And, while it's not LBC, did they have to use all of the background music and the same song? It's all just kind of... strange.

But it was an okay diversion.

I've noticed that with a lot of BLs that are based on a novel (I'm not sure if WTD is or not), the authors (usually straight women) write a rape into the story, and then romanticize it (like with Addicted and Love By Chance, which many people love). Same with Together With Me, My Dream, and more. I hate that. Let's hope that this trend goes away soon. If there's going to be a rape in a story, it should be made to be the traumatic thing it really is, and the perpetrators should go to prison.

Wow! Well, that complicates things, lol... I assumed that Oat was raped, because, after he started out laughing and saying "it tickles," he was then crying out in pain, "oi, oi... get off!" But I guess we don't know for sure. "Oi" is right... let's hope the story gets better in the upcoming episodes.

I agree with you! Let's hope the story gets clearer in the next episodes.

So... in the last episode, Pop seemed genuinely upset about Oat. Did Pop actually find out that Oat was raped by Pent (with Bo's assistance)? I'm confused.
