MaintainingMama

I loved it, despite the comments. I don't see Zee acting like a parent. In what way is he acting like Nu Keau's parent!? He acted like a hella mature ass man. He came to see his boyfriend on his last day of internship of what had to be some time apart, which really hard when you love someone. He, despite missing and wanting his boyfriend and even with some sexual initation, decided to stop it when he realized Nu Keau wasn't all the way conscious of his actions. With a whole ass explanation as to why he was putting on the breaks, to make it as clear as possible what his morals are. Something we never, EVER get in BL. Hell, even in straight dramas we don't get this, because in real life, most of the time, in a committed realtionship, most people would have still done it, thinking nothing of the moral ambiguity of the situation. Then, knowing his boyfriend was hungover, prepares him a decent breakfast, not just for him, but for his coworkers as well. In no way are these 'parent' behaviors. These are things you do for people you love.
I don't find Nu Keau as whiny as I have read in these over reaching comments. He stood up to someone who touched him inappropriately in the workplace. And even when the guy tried to play it off, he called him out on his BS. Something that most people would have been scared to do, especially at an internship that makes or breaks your graduation. Then when given an apology he was gracious and accepted it, which was just nice. Does he turn soft and fluffy around his partner, his comfort zone? Yes, cause that's who should be soft and fluffy with. He doesn't act like a pushover who doesn't know how to care for himself or think for himself, lile we have seen in other BLs. He has a backbone and uses it, when its needed. His hestitacy about the wedding makes a hella of a lot of sense. He is 21. He is literally just beginning to live his life and figure out how to go about getting the life he wants. No marriage isn't legal in Thailand, but even if they just have the ceremony, its still an emotional commitment (and lets be honest, that is largely what modern day marriage is now anyway). His going off to be a big star in Korea or really anywhere, is going to greatly impact their lives together. Something that Nu Keau has to consider the impact to Hia and to their relationship. How can they get married to a man, if he becomes famous? Its a legit concern.
This plot is a good one, despite the claims, in my opinion. We get to see what happens when 'real' life creeps in, can the relationship handle it?
I came to say how freaking HOT Max looks in this episode and how that car scene with Nat did not disappoint, but saw all the hate in the comments had to add some actual perspective. I cannot wait to see what the rest of the special has in store for us. Poppy, as always, delivering another hilarious scene. Nuer and Syn's little misunderstanding was cute and shows that despite it being a year, they must have been taking it slow (makes total sense based on Syn's character) and are still working out the kinks in the relationship. Hopefully, those who bashed it this week will be absent next week since they didn't like it.

This show is executed perfectly. The MUSIC!! I'll admit I skipped the rap battle for both, especially when Win started with 'Yo!', but so far The intro song is in my Top 3 fav intro BL songs (WBL #1 and Old Fashioned Cupcake), and usually music in a series, ESPECIALLY Thai BLs make me cringe so hard, even 2gether, which I just rewatched for shits and giggles and even though I some of Bright and Win's stuff recorded in studios, and have also discivered my love of Scrubb because of this show, it was still as bad as I remember. But in MSP, they can all geniunely sing and I literally have started to look forward to whatever song they sing each episode. The fact that this weeks song could be about the love of a person or the love between parent and child or the love of personal passion was just soooo well thought out and hit all the feels. Gemini and Fourth's acting is amazing, Fourth's natural charisma is a gift to witness, on screen and off. This show is definitely my little happy pill at the end of the week.

I didn't mind the pacing of this show at first, but man, with only one episode left, they have used their time unwisely. While I love that Name is finding his voice and did that truly beautiful tribute to his Mom (although I hate that they act like he should have gotten over the trauma of witnessing his father's death like it was nothing and his mother 'put up'with him all these years). They could have done this bit sooner and spent more time on Em and Name's relationship...whatever that is. Cause man, as much as they have been hinting there is more to their feeling for each other (especially Name), at this point, with only one episode left and barely a hint of quasi jealousy from Em at the mention of Name getting a faen, who actually knows whats going to happen at this point!?! This could have been handled so much better with more emphasis on Name having unrequited love that he literally could speak about, only to have Em realize his feelings when Name started blossoming and getting out there. Sigh...
I'm not too mad at the Gun and Golf story, except, its so disappointing the lack of intimacy they have displayed toward each other as lovers of 5 years. JaFirst can deliver better than this, so I am blaming direction on this. While the letter asking Gun to marry him was cute, why didn't he beg Gun not to break up!? He didn't fight for Gun at all, when he was the one to mess up. Also, why didn't Gun say he needed more from Golf instead of breaking up!?! How was Golf supposed to know he was messing up, if Gun never said it. But mostly, that pathetic engagement/reuniting kiss was beneath the moment. The moment that would have been more powerful, if there had been any actual moments of the two of them together to show us how much they truly loved each other. I would settle for a montage. Sigh...again
Lastly, what is Champ's deal?! He loses his grandfather, who I get, he was super close to and his family shielded him from his illness unwisely. But as close as they were before his grandfather passed, you would think that after a time of being upset at them, he would move on and forgive them. Then the dog died, but he is kind of to blame for not knowing, he distanced himself from the family and also limited communication with them. Now his sister has been with someone long enough to get pregnant and get married and she literally had to 'sneak attack' him to announce it after not seeing her for 2 years! He's sitting with his friends, who he hasn't seen in 4 years, and being grumpy...and I still have no idea for what reason. I understand grief, but both his grandfather and the dog were old. Old things die. It sucks and it hurts and he should totally be affected by them, but not to this extent. Tomorrow isn't promised, he has lost so much time with his family that he won't get back, just cause they made a mistake?!?! Sigh thrice...
This show had potential, but I am glad it only has one more episode left.

I went back and watched that fight, cause I am old and couldn't remember who through the first punch. Neung pushed Phun first, but after that, it was all self defense, especially from Palm. Phun hit Palm with a chair, then got a bat/club and hit Neung with it. That was when crazy/protective Palm got activated. Palm literally walked in on Phun beating Neung, tried to walk away and got hit by Phun. If I was the principal, sure I may disipline them all, but hopefully someone would confess it was all Phun.

The only thing that irritated me tbis last episode is I needed to see Palm and Neung explaining to EVERYONE that Phum deserved that ass whooping! I need to see Neung's Mom giving him a raise and bringing the hammer down on the school.for letting the bulling go on unchecked. And Palm's dad needs to praise him for once.
I will say I may need to watch Palm's reaction to meeting Neung for the first time, cause if I think Pond was trying to convey love at first sight, it will help me understand better how their relationship is going. I mean, I'm not mad at it, cause Pond is doing an excellent job of showing how Palm feels for Neung, even without the fantasy dancing scene, but also how he has to repress those feelings for fear of his dad bringing the hammer down and losing his job. How Pomd is pulling off sultry/sexy, yet shy and hesitant at the same time is a mystery to me!
Side Note: did anyone else think the dancing scene was stiff and awkward, especially Phuwin? He was adorable counting the beat on Pond's arm as well as nodding his head each time he was supposed to turn. My guess is that was the best Phuwin could do. 🤣

The wigs for everybody have been awful!! And with First hair the way it is, it shows that Meen and Ja don't need them to set the scene for the timeframe they are in. Its ridiculous! I agree about the music also. At this point I don't think I even notice it anymore, its so not special or helping to drive any of the scenes.

This show could have been brillant, but man they are working hard to ruin it. I enjoyed the first episodes amd evem when they got to college was still good. But these last couple of episodes are focusing on the wromg things. How does a show that has major time skips still go too slow developing relationships?!?! I don't care about Nan and Chompoo. Once he found her on the farm amd she took him back, that should have been it for them, except a brief glimpse in the last episode. For Champ, I don't mind his story lime continuing, but it been a year since his grandfather passed but he STILL hasn't moved on from being cold to his family!?!? Also, I am sorry the dog died, but come on! That was way too much time devoted to his feeling about that dog. They should have focused on his getting the job, maybe have him struggle with real life and then turn back to his family after he has a break down, as I feel he never truly grieved for his grandfather.
I don't quite know what Name and Em are to.each other and that is frustrating with 1 episode left. Its clear Name likes Em in that way, but who knows what Em is feeling. This last episode should have had a kiss or something to indicate their feeling are moving in the romantic realm. They have spent all these years dancing aroumd their feelings for each other (maybe) its time to communicate (especially now that Name is talking) and say what they are feeling. Its nuts that everyone acts like how dependent/close they are to each other is just normal friendship. They are lollygagging on there relationship development.
Golf and Gun make me sad, they are actually having a typical progression of their relationship, but I am sad its going this way. I would have preferred to see more of them as a couple before they break up. I understand Gum though. They are entering new territory in their relationship and being neglected is tough. He had been understanding, even when he deserved more from Golf, in way of communicating. All Golf had to do was call and say he was working late and that he would be staying at a hotel. That is just polite/thoughtful in a relationship. But the being late for the anniversary, not even calling to say you'll be late or at least making sure you could leave on time this one day and THEN to not even be apologetic!?! He just strolled in 4 hours late and started eating!?! Yeah, I would have broken up with him too. Its one thing to be busy and swamped with work, but to not care enough to call and check in on your relationship is not it.
I cannot fathom how they are going to end this show next week. The preview doesn't even look like an ending. I guess we'll see, I'm in too deep to quit now.

I like that they showed there WAS flack for Dean and Pharm's relationship, it made it even more realistic coming from the UWMA storyline. That while the hate that InTouch and Korn faced still existed in Dean and Pharm's time, they would have a lot more support from family and friends than them, and that has to be okay for now. And we just keep fighting and waiting for the day it is not considered 'other'.
Other than that, Manow being a spas around her crush will forever be a mood.
My only problem with the bathroom scene is I need Team to act like he wants it too. Win/Boun is staring at me like he wants to eat me and I am jumping on him! 🤣🤣 Prem really acts like he's being forced to kiss that sexy man and it irritates me! One of the things I LOVED about UWMA was that although Pharm was often shy and virginal whenever Dean made advances, Pharm acted like he wanted Dean. He wanted the things they did together to happen. Team/Prem act like he is being forced every time, despite consent being asked for every time. Just the visual of Win/Boun should have Team gulping for air and licking his lips...sigh, oh well.
Am I the only one who notices something wrong with Santa's hair in this? Its like its got powder or something in it. It looks weird to me and not like his normal hair.
I actually like the BeePrince story, I just wish he had confessed after he heard the manager say that he might not like him back. Especially when he heard Prince likes him. They need to hurry up and get together so they can show how they navigate Prince being famous. Same goes for Waan and Tul. I don't mind the extra couple, but I need their stories to move along. Waan needs to find out next week that he know Tul so they move that story along as well and work out their issues. We know that Manow and Preuk didn't get together til the end of UWMA, so they are good with their slow flirting game. I wonder, if the Christmas scene is next week. This show definitely explains why Team was so willing to kiss Win under the brocolli in UWMA, cause I was always so confused about the status of their relationship in that scene. 🤣

1) So glad I made it to the end. It was touch and go there for alot of episodes. I will admit that each storyline had enough good story to keep me watching all 20 eps.
2) The first story was the best. The acting, the drama/story and the ending. BillySeng can do no wrong in my eyes at this point, and I hope we see more of them, hopefully together. The second story with GusBew was second best cause that story was CRAZY! And the ending was was good as well. After that, well...I will say ToruFirst delivered on some scenes and they excel at NC scenes, so there is that. But maybe it was the ending for me, it was not long enough or maybe it needed one more episode to wrap it up, but I have questions. Did Most not sign the contract? Gaga didn't sub who signed it and who didn't and that scene where Most wishes Achi good luck wasn't clear. I thought Most was saying would continue to work with Achi, and that that hug was them acknowledging they still coupd be friends, maybe more, but also still work together. But then he wished him good luck, like it was a goodbye. And he didn't come to the awards. I figured P rigged it ,after Most didn't sign the contract, for Most to win so that it would force Most to continue? Seriously, I feel like I am missing something.
3) I almost wish they did a special episode explaining who the heck P REALLY is and what is his and Dew's relationship like behind the scenes. And what did he do to get that high up in the industry to control so much behind the scenes.
4) Why did Nott and Punn come seperately? Why Did Gus and Bew come seperately? I need one more episode each just explaining where each couple is in life after all the drama.
While I liked that it was messy, I kind of needed a bit more romance in this BL series. Just one couple who wasn't a mess. Well I guess Korn Earth will have to do...

Between the great acting, the funny script/story/moments and the KILLER OST, this show is quickly becoming my favorite GMMTV show. This kicks 2gethers ass and I became addicted to BLs after watching SOTUS, Love Sick and 2gether. But man, this is perfection! Just when I was wishing it wasn't such a one sided attraction, they give me Gun with the feels. Waiting a week is gonna be painful! I need the OST immediately!

So far, I am intrigued. I thought Phuwin nailed the scene where his Dad died, so even though we know Dad is going to die, it still felt emotional. I feel bad for Palm, kiddo was snatched from his apparently independent life to go possibly die for some rich kid with an attitude who he doesn't know. That has to blow! I get why Nuang has an attitude or is reserved. His Dad literally died in his arms onnhis birthday and now he has to begin training for a job it was evident he didn't really want. Also, people may also still be out there to kill him. I'd be cranky too. Plus it seems like he doesn't really have any friends. Excited to see how the relationship progresses, although ot looks like there is jealously already next week. If it was attraction at first site, I kind of wish they had emphasized it more, so that the jealous scenes make sense. Other than that, I look forward to next week.

I loved this show. Not alot of drama, just 2 people in love. This last episode was just a cute progression of their relationship. Parents got to meet, although it would have been cool to see that. I hope we are getting a season 2 or a special episode to finish the left hanging story lines. I need to see what was the crazy mother's whole motivation for contacting Ai again? What is the deal with the sister? What happens with Nine and FM? Are we going to get a retellimg of Ton and Chon? I need those stories and then it will be perfect. I enjoyed the story, I didn't need 'more'. Its nice to have some balance in the BL world. I love that in th BL world I can be devasted by Between and then soothed by Ai Long Nhai.

Welp! That was emotionally draining! Brilliantly acted by both of them. Boun definitely deserves an award based on this episode alone.
I love the scene between Bee and Prince. They are too cute and I hope they don't go through too much strife. I'm gonna say who ever taught all these actors to perfect hearteyes, deserves an award. Tul looking at Waan, Bee looking at Prince, Pruek looking at Manow, P'Dean (even though I was WAAAY older than Dean or Ohm, he will always be P'Dean to me! 🤣🤣) looking at Pharm, heck even Wiew looking at Win, the love they have for the other is sooo evident just in their eyes!

Speaking of P' Dean, I am loving these little snippets of Dean and Pharm to help is keep track of the story line. Techinally todays scene is the same as in UWMA just in a different setting. But I love how easily they both stepped back into their roles. It makes it seamless to connect the 2 stories together.

Phew Chile the MESS!!! I KNEW she was going to be pregnant! Achi sucks the big one! I really hope he just fell in love with 2 people at the same time and did not his feelings for Most to be real, especially since he was into Fern. And by the time he figured out he truly was feeling Most, it was too late, he was caught lying to them both. I need to know why he rejected Fern but then went after Most in the shower. I want to feel sorry for Fern and I kimd of do, but she went into this whole thing being super dishonest and frankly invasive, so....no sympathy for her. Poor Most!! The only one who is inmocent! And how is he supposed to be a ship with Achi after this!? This maybe messier than the second story! Also, are we EVER going to know what is the deal with Dew and P!?!? I have questions and NOTHING that is 20 episodes long should leave me with questions!

Side Note: ToruFirst are too good at these NC scenes!! They are definitely in the Top 10 for best NC scenes in BLs this year. Maybe even top 5! Sheesh!!

I knew this episode was going to be sad, just glad Name's mom is okay. Especially after finding out why he stopped talking. His Mom sucks though. She knew that what he experienced was some next level trauma and instead of taking him to therapy, and/or having them both learn sign language to be able to communicate until he was able to speak, she just tucked it all away until he got to old to be home and then guilt tripped him for not moving on. Lady! You had all those years of homeschooling him to get him help, or at least help prepare him for his future and you didn't? Name is as old as everyone else, but he doesn't seem to work, he isn't going to school, so what is he doing with his life? What will his future be, espcially if his mother ACTUALLY becomes sick. Sigh, I'm with Em on the ending there, I feel bad for Name! Speaking of Em, he got off the hook waaaay to easy. I wish name would have turned away when he first saw it was Em, to show his anger at Em. Name deserved a better excuse than I was studying. Were you...for all the hours of the day!? I do not begrudge Em his time in college and all the fun stuff that comes with that. But he could have messaged Name at least once or twice a week. Also...are Em and Name a thing? Going to become a thing? Its super unclear. They talk like they are more and kind of act like it too, but they don't do anything that leaps head first into boyfriend territory.
Golf's parents were adorable and its refreshing to see parents not only be nice but giddy at the fact of meeting their child's partner. Love to see it.

The way Strongberry shows how you can literally tell a well thought out story, amazing acting and top notch camera and editing with very little screen time should some of these longer shows to shame!! Felt ALL the feels and they did it in 15 minutes. Choco weeping openly at having to leave Jungwoo was too much for my soul to bear. The last smile from Milk. Jungwoo repeated banging his head on the door trying experience any other pain than the loss of his loved ones. Gahhhh!! Brilliant!

As much as I love this series, I needed more. I'm all for sticking with the fluff, but once again we have one partner all go go go and another like are crazy to actually want to kiss me, you boyfriend!? Gasp! And even when they make it seem like Nhai is into affection from Ai, we get scenes lile the shower scene where its supposed to be sexy and hot cause the showed us...legs and underwear, and they literally do not touch. By now, you mean to tell me Nhai doesn't know his boyfriend is going to join him in the shower?! It just would be nice to see Nhai making the passes, is all I am saying.
I actually like the talk with Nhai and Jaonan, despite the horrible subs, cause I fear alot was lost in that translation. They needed to bond. It would have been awesome to see AiXs dad also speak privately with Nhai or Ai and Nhai together, but that scene was cute. Someone explain the reason for Chon to get sick when they went to the mountains? It would have been one thing if Ton was showing ANY feelings toward Chon at this point, but them videocalling when it could have been used to show Ton beginning to have feeling for Chon while they set up camp. Why was he on this trip! They must already have a season 2 in the works, cause there is no way they can deal with all the issues they have introduced.

Beautiful story. I need a sequel to see how they figure out their relationship.

I hope so too, cause Most doesn't deserve his feeling played with.

Man, that's just the worst if he is leading Most on. Most doesn't deserve that.
