Count me in as the odd duck who is enjoying this series!
But Khim and Rain's father may go down as "Crappiest Dad in BL." Perhaps I've seen worse, but I'm not thinking of anybody. It's hard to imagine this guy having any kind of change of heart unless he has a complete lobotomy.
Agreed with just about everything you said. (Especially the instrument and ensemble comments!) The only thing…
If you want to see Fluke in a very different role, I recommend the BL thriller "Red Wine in the Dark Night" (2015). He is the main character and plays a psycho: https://youtu.be/lpDSvNS9vqw The first scene is practically soft porn.

Oh, I'm with you when it comes to Ohm. While I enjoyed him well enough in UWMA, he's a board here.
As for this series, despite its flaws, I'm struck by how much Fluke emerges as a "real" actor, compared to all the others. That's part of what keeps me engaged. There's a lot to pick at regarding the story lines. But, strangely enough, I'm not all that bothered by the Sun "apple" thing. I just consider his character to be a Christian Scientist (they tend to shun any kind of medical treatment in favor of natural remedies). So I'm willing to accept that maybe the apples do help him on some level, lol.
If I ever wonder why Thailand wont always cater to their international fans for certain shows and bl series, all…
I look at it this way: MDL provides discussion boards, not fan pages. I've made comments on certain pages here where I felt like I was just about the only one who really liked a series, while just about everyone else trashed it. And vice versa.
But, to me, if it's okay to complain about people not liking a show, then it makes equal sense for someone to complain about the opinions of people who love a show. And, frankly, I've never seen that happen here.
Being a professional actor or director invites critique -- both good and bad -- it's simply a part of the business.
I'm a little at a loss. I'm trying to understand why Rain & Phayoo are so much more engaging than Sun & Kim -…

The only thing we'll have to agree to disagree about: Rain (Noh) does absolutely nothing for me. I find the actor rather wooden and "nothing special" in terms of physical appearance and, for me, the Rain character is really boring. I get zero chemistry from him.
I do realize that I'm in the minority here.
Payoo, on the other hand, makes me think very naughty thoughts, complete with an afterglow cigarette.
I'm liking this a lot, but I'm not really getting the Rain/Payoo stans. I think Payoo is quite sexy, but Rain seems rather boring, at least to me. But I find Pie very interesting!

I'm not setting foot anywhere near this one.

Seriously, it doesn't bother me. Maybe the apples actually help! There are religions that do not believe in traditional medicines.
Body swapping, AGAIN? Geez...
And I'll be the odd man out... I like Fluke's hair! He's 26, not 14. It was time for him to ditch the little boy hair style.
But someone should seriously show Ohm how to vibrato correctly on the cello. It's waaaaayy easier than vibrato on the violin.
