Quiet as it’s kept, but Valen and Non are the ones that actually need to be together. Kaitoon was doing just fine being dedicated to work and school. 🤷‍♂️

I'm a very firmly committed fan of Force, but this show has required a bit of rewiring in order for me to really enjoy it. First of all, the "Enchanté" part. It's not a harem plot and the guys aren't truly romantically chasing after Theo. They're background noise and that's fine, but that's not what this was advertised to be.
I'll go a bit further, even though it's rather early, and speculate that even if we were to have an adversary trying to get after Theo for his money or whatever to add to the drama, we'd only need one or at most two, but four? Phupha and Natee are conniving enough. But what is Saifah doing except looking good and playing a guitar? Why is Vayo even here??? lol
Unlike many, I don't have much of a negative opinion of Theo. He's kinda like sliced white bread. Nothing special, but when you spread some good butter (Akk) on it, it's delicious.

Oh, we can say more: Why R U? Love Area Part 2, Lovely Writer...lmao
It truly isn't a BL if there isn't a beach episode.

I don't know what else to say besides well done to all the actors. This won't get the clout and the credit this deserves immediately, but maybe, hopefully, after these actors go on to do some other, more popular or happy work, people will look in their list of other dramas they were in and discover this one.
Green (Ben) really stood out to me this episode. Before, I was a bit sad that I wouldn't get to see the pairing of Tae and Chap again in The Tuxedo, but at this point, I'm very much looking forward to seeing Green with Chap.

China has banned bromances too at this point really.

As a resident of Beijing, a word of advice if you want to catch the palace covered in snow: come in mid to late January. After you get here, check the weather to see when it’s scheduled to snow. Buy your ticket for the palace as soon as you see it because everyone and their mom dressed in their best hanfu are gonna be there for photo ops too. Lastly, get there very early. Snow usually falls at night here and is often melted/mushy by the afternoon.

If the forbidden city doesn’t work out, you can buy tickets the day of at the other palaces and temples that are built in the same style and offer great photo ops as well. 😊

Ahh ok now I remember that part. I guess that could be perceived as too sexual, but then…it was supposed to be for art too, so.

In theory, I think it'd be weird to cast a 14 year old when everyone else is so old, but I don't think his character got put in a situation that was terribly inappropriate for his age? And as far as the storyline, aside from cheating, what else really happened in this that a 14-year-old or even 11 or 12 year old wouldn't already be very well aware of?

I hate that I do this and play Devil's advocate for the assholes of BL (a la Khai from Theory of Love), but hear me out. lol You mentioned in another comment about the possible kiss in the next episode being interrupted by Valen. If that's really the way it goes, then it destroys absolutely everything. Like obliterates it and leaves Valen in the same position you mention King being in for years to come. Valen's biggest character flaws are insecurity and selfishness. Pretty much since he's been involved with Kaitoon, we see him slowly, but surely working himself out of being so selfish all the time. A very minor example is when they were at the beach and Valen didn't want to share his noodles, but in the end, he did.

The flaw he is nowhere near done working through is insecurity and unfortunately, I can't knock him that bad for it. Everyone's insecure about something. And, at least for me, two more factors are at play: 1) Kaitoon is naïve, I'm sorry, but the boy isn't clever. Nont would need to hit him over the head with a bouquet of roses in order to for him to realize he likes him. Look how long it took him to realize Valen wasn't just being weird! and 2) Nont has indeed been trying to get with Valen this whole entire time and Valen saw that exactly for what it was.

If Valen sees Nont go in for the kiss and Kaitoon does anything except back away before their lips touch, it won't matter if someone explains in detail how he was wrong about the Valentine's Day mess with Peat and Sean because he wasn't wrong about Nont's feelings towards Kaitoon (even if he is wrong about Kaitoon's feelings towards Nont).

Valen is a mess and a half, I get it, but I swear I can't hate the kid.

I can't hate him either! The most evil part of me can totally understand Peat leaving King for Sean, but neither the good nor evil part of me can understand why he would go back to Peat with Sean being as sexy as he is. lmao Don't shoot me, anyone.

Actually, Kaitoon told Valen that he was going to do a group project. Kaitoon was late, so everyone had left except for Sean. So, by the time Valen got there, it already looked weird because there was no one else there except for him and Sean (as if Kaitoon lied). It looks worse because obviously Sean's in the corner kissing Valen's friend. Then the absolute cherry on this shitcake is that it's Valentine's Day. Remember: Valen was already very disappointed that Kaitoon had ditched him to go study in the first place.

The Peat-King drama was spicy enough, they really could have left Valen-Kaitoon alone. Also, Bill: you suck.

I think people won't be expecting it, but I don't see it being a pleasant surprise.

Not a bad start. The acting feels...off? Weird because I've seen Zee, Max and Nat before and they were fine, so maybe it's the direction. Can't place it, but that part felt a little weird for me. Otherwise, great production quality. It's interesting to start the series off with one couple already together and the other couple having already revealed his love in the first episode. I still have questions about their arranged marriage, but I'm assuming they may get addressed later.

I've been spoiled and I feel like people who haven't been are gonna pissed.

With fans having concluded that whoever Enchanté is being so unimportant, I almost feel like when it’s finally revealed, people won’t just be underwhelmed, they’ll be upset because with how the series is presented, Enchanté almost can’t make a true and significant difference in the story. It’s still very early, but this is what I’m guessing and I hope I’m at least somewhat wrong because I genuinely like ForceBook.

During some scenes of ep 4, I didn’t end paying attention to the conversation between Theo and whoever tf because I was too busy looking at Akk and his legendary bitch face.

Akk hates the other guys so much and I love that for him. They’re all trash. Saifah less so, but still: trash.
It’s episode 4 and we don’t know as much as we should about Theo and that’s disappointing.
And about Enchanté, because Akk and Theo are already so close, knowing who Enchanté is just as irrelevant as the four other guys. Enchanté and Vayo literally add nothing to the show.

I think, aside from being a bit of a creeper, Phupa's kinda cute. You're right though, about the acting. He's new and in the BTS, he was talking about that and how he's new and taking a lot of tips from the others.
But did you really have to read him for his eye though? God. That almost hurt *my* feelings. lol

The way Natee looks at everyone, I don't whether he wants kill them, kiss them, or eat them.
