The ONLY thing that is wrong with this show (besides the music, which wasn't even noticeable this episode) is the absolute SHIT police work and common sense in these characters. Other than that, A++++++++++!
I need to know, why the only Nour on the police team, who KNOWS that they are chasing a fellow Nour, who are typically pretty unbeatable by regular folk, but one that is so special that HE needs him to die, decided that lets just send out our bumpkin police force to try and "arrest" the guy who can burn someone from the inside out with a touch? Then I want to know, why the same police team did not even give the doctor a single thought, despite him being the reason they discovered Chita was the Incinerator 2000? As far as they knew, he was still a missing person, someone who they considered a friend, someone who worked with the police force on a regular basis and was in a relationship with their suspect...no thought to continue looking for him. Okay, cool, I guess. Then said doctor wakes up, doesn't know what is going on, is missing time, his brother knows he was kidnapped as of last night...but no one mentions this, or calls the police who should be (but aren't) looking for him. Okay, again...cool, I guess. Doc gets to work, and upon opening a corpse, gets overwhelmed with a need to eat it and when the only person who can help him explain why he would maybe want to do that walks in...he plays it off and hides it. Hmmmm K. Doc goes home, where is Mom and brother are and almost kills his brother trying to eat him, but instead of a single solitary person calling for the ONE person who could help...they put a bandage on it and say, I guess he's a Nour and I'm going to love him anyway. It would be fine, if say Doc Ji didn't know that Ken was a Nour, but he does! And for the brother, if for no other reason than, my normal sane brother went missing and came back wanting to eat me, why wouldn't he call his brother's co worker and the most likely person to help your brother?! But okay, again...cool I guess!? Finally, they figure out where Chita and Doc Ji are, cool. We are gathering everyone and every gun, right? The One Nour on the police force has to go back to the station for his gun...huh? During an active case where people are being burned alive and ya'll are literally in the streets trying to find him, you don't have your gun on you. Okay, sure. Then Poor sweet, stupid Tangme...in what universe does a police officer's training say pursue a highly deadly suspect with potential super powers but bring zero backup when the suspect isn't even moving or going anywhere? Sometimes...just sometimes, I am too American for these shows. Because I have been watching crime shows since the 80s and with zero police training, know that is like the fastest way to die. Did I feel bad for my girl, Tangme, sure, but also...gurl, what did you expect to happen! Even if they were just two regular dudes, unless you are some bad ass fighter, two against one is always going to win.
Now, I said all of that to say...what this show gets right...boy howdy does it make up for any tiny little annoyance I may have about the music and the terrible police work.
Chita being Maaw Ji's soul mate and having to turn him was delicious. Chita being this complicated character who is like a fluffy marshmallow with Maaw Ji, but a vicious killer with every one else, ugh, I live! I desperate need to know more about Chita and his whole back story. Maaw Ji being this absolute angel on earth before he gets turned into a monster and having to war with his new identity while also warring with his love for Chita despite it being Chita who turned him into a monster....GUYS!!! I cannot! That blood lust NC scene with poor Tangme's corpse being the impetus for it all...just chef's kiss macabre! Of course Maaw Ji's first hit of blood would have him strung out and horny for his man, abandoning all sense for true honest lust. Then the crash, when Ji realizes his old life is over, he isn't who he was before. His devastation of what he is becoming and Chita's devastation at having had to do that to him, but not being willing to let Ji be dead. So complex and I loved every minute of it!
And then the ending! James getting the better of Chita but being shot by Ken...could have knocked me down with a feather, cause I did not see that coming. Amazing cliff hanger, I cannot wait until next week.
My only question, is Ken showed the grave of the person he said was his soul mate having died from the bite, I am assuming? So doesn't that mean they weren't his soul mate? And what did he mean when he said he borrowed that person's body/life? I is confusion on that part, but the series has done great so far explaining everything else, hopefully next week will give us answers.
I do need to know why how Chita became a Nour and why does he hate other Nours?

😂😂😂😂 The craziest thing is, the way they wrote this show, if they had burst out and did the Charleston to some Louis Armstrong Jazz, I wouldn't even be surprised!😂😂😂

The music is the only thing I can criticize at this point! It literally will snatch me out of a great scene. 😂😂😂

😂😂😂

This show is doing two things right that explains the ratings and one thing wrong that I'm trying my best to ignore, cause it is literally the (for the most part) only thing wrong with this show.
First, what they are doing right. The writing, directing and acting of each character. Specifically, the pairings. Each character stands on their own, which is already rare in a BL series. There is always someone who cannot act or just their character was written so poorly that you either hate them with a passion or you don't even care about them. Not in this series. I care/like all of the characters individually. Then when you talk about the pairings, I don't think I have ever had a show where I ship all the couples in the series. Either the main pairing isn't as strong as the second couple, or their are too many couples and not enough time to handle their plot line, or someone's acting is so terrible, you cannot get into their story. Again, not in this series. Each couple has equal time and yet you feel like each couple is making significant progress in their story lines. Each actor is holding their weight, acting wise. I'm not cringing at anyone's performance, I'm not questioning a casting choice. I mention all of that because I think, especially with the amount of BL we have been getting, it seems it was forgotten, in order for a person to enjoy a series, these elements must be present. All of them. The writing is mostly complete, the only think lacking is the police work, which I'm used to in a BL by now. It's neither too simple or too complicated, easy to follow along story wise, yet complex enough to remain engaged in the story. The actors making choices that makes sense for the characters and not once, imo, did someone give a performance and I wanted to skip their scene or roll my eyes. I'm invested in this story completely, and that is refreshing after some of the BL that has come out lately. The second thing I think they are getting right, is basically tied to the above in that the chemistry between each pairing is immaculate. The kissing is passionate and yet loving. It's not cringe or awkward, in any of the pairings. And I feel that says so much about the acting and directing of this series. So many times, especially with established pairings where I have seen them perform well (I'm looking at you Knot), when the next story doesn't work, I look at the directing. Because, again imo, I feel like a good director should be able to bring out a good performance from an actor. The chemistry between each pairing is filmed perfectly, so that as engaging as the Nour plot line is, you never forget this is a bl with three love stories. I am having a great time with this series!
Now for the thing they are getting wrong. The MUSIC. I don't know where in AI Hell they got that crappy music, but I wish they would put it back. The lyrics are painfully horrible. I would love to mute, but half the time, they are speaking during the terrible music...I simply cannot!

Well, that was an ending I guess. Who ever wrote this never needs to work in the entertainment industry again. They just kept repeating the same words over and over again. Also, who cares about the guards!? I, for one, was sooo uncomfy with how close they stood to Nakhun and Phatsa in like half the show. In fact, there wasn't a scene where someone wasn't standing too close or too awkwardly. Nakhun bent over Phatsa in the chair for his long drawn out love confession looked so uncomfortable. Naphitch's speech to Sangneau was also so uncomfortably close, considering that they were in a room alone and they aren't on the best of terms. Speaking of them, what was the point of their story line? Nothing happened with them! Although we didn't get an Omega birth, I pray we don't get a Knot 2. I don't really need Naphitch and Sangneau's continued story, but it really was a waste of time having their whole side story. I think the AlphaBeta story line was more than enough for this show.
What about the both fathers? One disappeared after being an absolute asshat the entire series. And the other was only mentioned to further that he is still an asshat.
Instead of the party at the beginning being a birthday party, it should have been a wedding, like they were alluding to. We should have gotten Phatsa's dad final approval and a wedding ring. Then the knotting on the couch could have been during the honey moon. Then instead of all the stupid business talk and body guard banter, we could have had the two of them having pregnancy symptoms and then after Nakhun exploded in anger and the doctor tells them they are pregnant, we would have had time for the doctor to explain why Nakhun is also having symptoms. We could of had a time skip to Phat with a big belly and Nakhun sparing no expense on the nursery. That would have been cute and an end to this series that was at least a bit more cohesive.
Lastly, I want say fire both the stylist for this show (although I did like Nakhun and Phatsa birthday party attire) as well as the intimacy coach. I'll say it, the NC scenes in My Stubborn were better. Somehow, it's like they got awkward with each other and didn't know what to do. And for scenes as long as the ones they have done...it doesn't work. Kiss, chest, stare, kiss, chest, stare...repeat for minutes too long and then take the shirt half off...huh? Now, of course, my BoatOat redeemed the scene once they got to knotting. But overall, for something they are kind of known for, it was a smidge disappointed. And I don't think I would have been as disappointed, if the scenes were shorter.
Anyway, glad that it is over. I made it, even though it was tough at times.
Things this show did well, the actual Omegaverse stuff. Honestly, probably the best out of the three (that I know of) that we have gotten so far.
Things this show did not do well....every thing else.

This rating is crazy! This show was everything in one. Were they toxic at points, sure, but that was half the fun. Did both of them, especially Little Jane, drive me crazy, absolutely, but again, half the fun. They weren't boring by any means. I felt all the emotions, despite them telling me not to get emotional. 😂😂😂 I also think this was a very good ending except for like 3 things.
1) Did Dan die like he should have? He might go on my most hated character of 2026. And I couldn't even feel sympathy for him about his parents because it was not really clear why they killed themselves. Which leads me to
2) Why did they kill themselves? They never said what Big Jane or his family did to make them so desperate that instead of rebuilding they chose to die. I also never knew what favor Big Jane did for Dan, and I would like to know that, we never knew why he hated him so much...unless I some how missed that in the show.
3)What was the very ending after the lightening credit? Does that statement from Big Jane's shitty Dad mean we are getting a sequel? I wouldn't say no, I really enjoy this show. But I cannot see what else they could talk about. Maybe just a special...
Overall, I had myself a grand ole time. This show had top tier NC scenes (this last episode especially!), high drama, violence, crazy love, villains and silliness. It had a pretty fire OST and it was well shot. I couldn't really ask more from a show. I am going to miss Big Jane and Little Jane! That was one wild ride!

YESSSSS!!! It was like so out of no where! It was like, this is what rich people wear...in the movies....in the 1920s.😂😂

😂😂 If we didn't laugh, we would cry or shout to the screen....I'll admit to doing the latter often for this show. 😂😂

While I like Phatsa being all soft and squishy for Nakhun, I miss the Phat who was full of spunk at the beginning, fighting for his rights. I kept waiting for him to stand up to his Dad, especially because that man wasn't there most of his life, but alas, we have Phatsa just giving into everyone.
I did like that Mama stood up finally for her kids and herself. I could not see what she liked about the dad, but finding out they were forced to be married and she never loved him, all made sense. I also love that she said several times that Naphitch being from her husband having an affair did not make her treat him any differently than her own children. She made sure he knew he was loved and that that was his home as much as it was the older two.
Who ever worked on costume and hair on this show should never ever work in the industry again. Everyone but Boat's hair was terrible. Even Oat's this time. And what was that ending scene in the office?! What were they wearing!? And why?! They work from home! Even if they are trying to keep it professional, a button up shirt and slacks. Phat wearing suit and tie with a sweater vest is the stupidest styling choice I've seen...since the shorts. They did my boy, Oat, dirty in this series, clothing wise.
Not sure what the ending will give us, cause it sure doesn't look like a baby. I'm glad that it's almost over...so I can mourn the potential this had.

Only a JBL would have someone eating ass but also some of the worst kissing. It was cute in some moments, but the kissing was awkward, the excessive lip gloss was too much for me. The short run times were also unfun. I think this would have been a better movie maybe. I like what they addressed in terms of the concerns for the age gaps, that was handled well. Even with the parent meeting. Although the themes had the potential to be heavy, the lack of emotional depth is what I think I was missing from this show. I did like the light hearted moments, but I think if this was a longer show they could have really explored the age gap and the concerns that came with that. Overall, it was just okay. I don't regret watching it, but I don't think I would have missed anything if I hadn't watched it either.

This rating is too low. It should at least be a 8.5 because Big Jane finally kicked Dan's ass! He is going into my top ten most hated characters. And to think, in the beginning, when Big Jane was being a jerk, I was kind of all for Dan...nope, he's an asshat! The trauma he could have cause LJ telling him about Put just to one up Big Jane....that bastard!
Anywhoo, I'm glad that Little Jane finally remembered, although it felt anticlimactic when it finally happened. I kind of wish it had either happened when he hit by Big Jane trying to break up the ass whopping or maybe he had a dream and it was of him going back to that apartment and realizing that Big Jane was really gone and he felt the pain of that all over again. Then they could have the letter be voiced over him running. I also kind of wanted something like Big Jane was thinking of doing something rash (I know, toxic thought, I'm terrible!) like jump in the pool to end it all because he thinks he's lost Little Jane forever. The way they had him standing all in black at the edge of the pool made me think that was what he was going to do. It would have been cool to see LJ run out, see him getting ready to do something rash and he runs to him only for them both to fall in the pool. Something...I needed something more from that scene.
This show being called Don't Be Emotional, only to have both the characters as well as the audience in a constant state of emotions is hilarious to me. This episode alone took us through all the feelings. I'll admit to being kind of annoyed with LJ because even if I didn't have my memory, seeing the man everyone, including my phone, told me was my boyfriend go to such lengths to help me, including probably paying my old class mates and teacher to come back to university to reenact our past, just to help me remember, would have been enough for me to at least say yes, when he asked me to stay by his side. Big Jane is definitely a red flag some of the time, but when he is a green flag, he goes above and beyond.

I saw some one say because this was a couple years after the main story, they aged her up. But then they should have researched how to treat and take care of a preteen, not a toddler or a baby. It just was weird.

This was cute. A typical special episode. My only problem with the kid plot was that the girl was too old for the activities they had her do or how they treated her. Why would they need to feed that girl, she had to be 10-11. Either have them do activities that reflect her age or have the girl be younger. The other problem I had with the kid plot was them sleeping in the same bed as her. That house was huge and absolutely had to have had a guest room. She was old enough to sleep by herself and she should have.
Overall, it was just okay to me, but their series wasn't in my top three out of the five. I think if they had balanced all that sweet with a tiny bit of heat (and that couch scene does not count), I might have liked it better. I just needed the tiniest bit of edge.

Side note: while watching this, I realized that HillTer were the only couple who didn't get a special episode out of the main couples. Kind of unfair, so I hope we get one for them (I know we won't) as well as GerNao, because their stand alone part lacked on the romance department. It was all back story with barely any of them together, so it would be nice to see them together.

HAHAHA!!! My husband says, "Look at you over there watching your SMUT!😂😂😂😂😂

This show is hard, because it isn't good. The acting is terrible for the most part, but a scene will get you, like Naphitch biting Sangneau, was not expecting that. The writing is terrible for the most part...half the show was wasted on long drawn out sentences to fill space, spaces where they don't even fill it with dialogue or repeating an entire scene just to fill the space....but then you have the cute confession scene. I'll admit, I'm a sucker for Oat pouting and using his bangs to cover his face when he is supposed to act shy. NC scene was good, as it always is with BoatOat. And then they are actually doing a good job with the Omegaverse part. I could never recommend this show, but I also cannot stop watching it. And I would probably add to my rewatch list, if they did a special edit of just BoatOat scenes. I do wish the subs were better, because I cannot tell if it's bad writing or bad translation, especially the Dad's part. It felt like I didn't understand what his beef was, out side of Phatsa getting bitten. He kept repeating the same thing over again, instead of elaborating on why he was against Nakhun. I also hated Phat sitting there and not finishing a single sentence or telling his dad how he felt about Nakhun. I'm supposed to believe that Phat is mouthy with everyone, but his dad...
Of course I'll be here next week, cause I want to see what happened now that they have knotted and will we actually get a pregnancy...

Imma need Dan to get the hell on, now! Before that accident, how many ways and times can LJ reject you?! Whether you like it or not, Little Jane picked Big Jane. End of story. Get the hell on and get a life! I can already feel that next week is going to piss me off. And I'm kind of annoyed that we are getting an amnesia plot so close to the end. I wish he would have woke up fine, but instead of amnesia, it would have been them explaining WHY Big Jane needs the favor business so much, what the hell did he do for Dan that has caused him to hound him this much. And then finally, Big Jane ending the favors because it is too risky and now that he has LJ, he doesn't need it for what ever reason he was doing it for in the first place. Then also resolve what ever issue Little Jane has with being an artist/creator and we get the last episode being them getting married and going on their honeymoon. That is all we need. We have worked out the relationship stuff, they have apologized and have gotten engaged. Spend some time answering question then give me all the fluff, please and thank you!

That makes all the sense in the world!

Is this good, nope! But is far from the worst, so I'm okay. Glad we solved the who dunnit and why of Naphit. I will say the action stuff pissed me off. Especially the stopping and looking behind to see if they were still being chased, But the scene that pissed me off the most was the car scene. Instead of hoping in the car and running away with a simple "run"! they had get instructions on who to run with and where to go...and get their car shot up!? Huh? terrible writing/directing. They could simply just had the gun men shooting at them the whole time as Nakhun came up. The other brothers jump in a car to escape, but Phat and Nakhun get stuck hiding behind the car and THEN it gets shot up, so they cannot drive it. Leading to the coolest scene..Phatsa the badass! I loved that Phat said imma shoot you for my boyfriend and then kill you for all the trouble you cause! I dig it!
I need way less of the maid, I did not miss the GL couple, and I am hesitantly waiting to see what the heck they are going to do with the third couple because of how Naphitch reacted to Sangnaeu scent... are they mates? Also, why did Phat faint in the teaser for next week?! So far, I think Phat is my favorite character in this series.

So I see it differently about the parents. Jet and honestly Jean and Jane kept lots of things about Jet from the parents. They never stopped or discouraged him from becoming an idol, because that was his dream. But they also had to be realistic. Jet was not passing any auditions and eventually, he was going to have to make a living. Even the BL actors we watch continue with their college education even if they become famous. His parents simply said if being an idol, which does have an age cap, unfortunately, doesn't work, you will have our store to fall back on. I didn't see it as pressure but more like a cushion if he didn't make it in the entertainment industry. And now because of him, they don't even have that to give to him, which is tragic.
