I'm only on episode 3, but based on how it's starting out, I feel you can. You should at least go and check out the synopsis of Cutie Pie and Cutie Pie 2 or better still: just watch the last episode of Cutie Pie 2. It would put Lian and Kuea perfectly in context for you for this series.

So, I'm up to ep 3 and Yi has told Lian there three problems:
1) He feels weird about marrying Khondiao because of the tiger trauma/drama.
2) He doesn't want his family to be even more extorted.
3) Khondiao's own family might lowkey be trying to get him injured to extort even more money from Yi's family.

First of all, of the multitude of ways there could have been some sort of childhood trauma, did they really have to go with: 14 year-old convinces grown man (who's paid a tiger caretaker) to go feed a tiger by himself? Surely there could have been SOMEthing else..ANYthing else. In any case, it seems to have been a total accident. A deeply traumatizing one, but still...an accident. If Yi is going to get married to Khondiao anyway, why not just sit down and have that difficult conversation instead of putting it off and continuing with nightmares?

Next, ok, Yi, you don't want your family to be extorted by Khondiao's family. Fair. However, wouldn't a better work-around for that be letting Khondiao in on the secret so that he could be the one to help you subvert their plan? It is his (Khondiao's) own family after all. Also, if this is another reason you're holding off the marriage, Khondiao should really know that especially since you actually *do* love him and *do* want to be with him.

Finally and most urgently, Khondiao could have literally died in the car accident were he the one driving. If he were the target once, what makes you think he couldn't be the target again???

So far, this plot is doing the same thing Cutie Pie's plot did for me: make me ask why any of this crap is happening the way it's happening.

But will I continue? Absolutely. Max, Nat, Nunew, Zee, and Est are just good-looking enough for me to stick around and see how this craziness ends.

It is annoying when done badly. Unfortunately, it's protocol that in Chinese shows everyone speaks "standard" Mandarin which means having a Beijing-based accent. Unfortunately, many actors either can't do this as well as producers would like or they simply feel the character should have a different voice. In this case, I think it may be the former. When listening to them talk, it sounds like they're from southern China...which is a no-no in terms of accents nowadays...especially in costume dramas. It wasn't always like this though.

The hair and makeup are killing me...

It's about time Est gets cast in a lead role. I've been waiting for this since Love By Chance 2.

I just got reminded of this show from a YT video and I just wanna say I miss the fever dream of a show.

Damn. That's so f*cked.

Big deserves better...

In what way exactly?

thanks 😊

I know we shouldn't always compare, but I have to say it because I think this is the first time this has ever happened for me: I like this version better than the Japanese adaptation. Achi in this version isn't as panicky as he is and the warmth of Karan is just as sweet as Kurosawa, but just *that* much sweeter because how well Tay delivers the character. Seriously Tay Tawan is so good. He's like if a birthday cake were a person.

How many couples are this? Looks like three? Do you they each get an even amount of screen time? 16 episodes is kinda long...is this particularly exciting/dramatic or is it more of slice-of-life?

For as unfortunate as it is for you, I always like reading the comments of people who've read the manga and can juxtapose the manga vs. the adaptation because it gives me a chance to know things about the characters and how it could have added to the plot. I think it would have made much more sense if they had included the one-sided rivalry and Onoe having a louder personality, but I wonder how much of that may have been cut down due to the number of episodes? Like, if there were four more episodes, I feel like this could have fit perfectly into the story.

Well, it's still definitely a Thai BL with many of the typical aspects, but it doesn't take place in school and it isn't overly fluffy, so, I'd say: yeah. Check it out.

I didn’t tell you how to describe anything and I didn’t/don’t have a problem with you describing it that way. I just thought it was weird/funny. I really was not trying to be combative.

Um...I didn't make comment about what is gay or BL. Please take your poor reading comprehension ability and humorless self elsewhere. lol 👋

Sex is sex. Emotion is emotion. How the characters deeply felt about each other *emotionally* is what I was saying was implied. Wasn’t about the sexual acts. Also, weird of you to say “butt sex” in the context of a gay of movie. Do you also say “vag sex” for straight people? 😂

Judging from seeing him in ep 11 of My Stand-In has a really nice body now. He’s gotten so much more handsome since My Engineer
