These last few episides have gotten so much better. The break up with Praew and Nine was so realistic. Most break ups are not clean and easy. They are messy and full of tears even for the one who decided to split. Nine crying along with Praew and even kind of offering her a place to stay even though they were over is just a sign he loved her at one point. He probably still loves her but is not in love with her. I am glad they showed him taking his time to mourn that relationship and not immediately go running to Daoneau.
The surprise scene was brutal. I don't know why Tee did that to himself. These kinds of things should only be done if you are confident of someone's feelings. Tee knew at the very least that Daoneau was confused about his feelings. Which is why he tried to block Nine from coming. He did that too himself.

Also, I did not like him forcing those kisses on Dao. It was gross and I get it was supposed to show how desperate he was, I just really don't like the excessive use of it in this show. Nine did it and now Tee. Dao needs to be slapping folk for forcing him to kiss them.
I am glad Dao finally stopped fighting his feelings and was honest with Tee and Nine. And I'm glad they showed Nine trying to respect (a lot too late, of course) Tee and Daoneau's feelings/relationship. He tried at least ...
We'll see what next week brings. I am still here for the messy, although I am hoping next week we get a ton of sweet moments that help develop the relationship.

I don't know how they are going to wrap up anything with only 1 episode left. I mean if they had time skipped ahead of Sun working for Arthit for a few weeks and them slowly getting along, then maybe. If Sun had shown some remorse for the debt his father owed and just resigned himself to working to pay the debt off with out being a lazy whiner, then maybe. But since they didn't do that, we are stuck with what will the worst ending ever in BL history.

Mangkorn and Ashing are so freaking gorgeous, and their story line mostly made sense. Now why the father wouldn't want them to continue boxing to further legitimize his illegal business is beyond me. But the two of them are so cute that I don't care.

I said it last week, Boun is too sexy. He legit didn't do anything special, but boy howdy he always delivers.

Where can I watch this is I cannot get Viu in my country?

Bless him, I need to watch more things with Best to see if this is the script/directors fault or if he really cannot act but has a nice body so he'll do.

I think you are right about Daonaeu being almost ready to try again with Nine when that whole thing went down. What's crazy though is, he got all upset like he didn't know he had a girlfriend. From what they showed, it seemed all the article showed was that they were together. Dao knew this, so why was he upset?!

Not sure about Tee, hopefully we find out next week if he is cheating. These frequent outside meetings that no one else seems to be working on is weird.

Also weird is Nine just coming in to sit all day and stare at his camera and not work. Everyone else has assignments, what's he doing?! I thought at first he was bringing in clients to help boost the business, but then why isn't he having as many outside meetings as Tee?!

I hope Praew moves on, but as messy as this show is she going come back and do something crazy!

This episode was perfect! They took us high, than cannonballed us low and just when it looks like there is no hope, they give us a cute ending. Half of me wanted Vee to keep his promise to Mark. But in the end this was perfect. I am ready for Vee's crazy love!!

What a mess! And I love most parts of it! Nine and Praew are that couple who go through break up cycles until one or both of them change mentally. It either leads to life long love or to a permanent never want to see you again break up. That last scene was heartbreaking in that they both knew it was over but had been such big parts of each others lives, they were scared to move on. If Nine hadn't met Daonuea, they would still be in that cycle. I felt bad for them both, although Praew is crazy as a June bug! Candy was in a difficult place cause it seems like she is both of their bestfriends and she was just trying to balance that. She did a bad job, but well it was a messy situation with friends who kept making it messier.I need them to stop doing closeups to Best's face when he is trying to force out tears. Closeups are bad in general in my opinion, but here it was meant to show his heartbreak (why was he heart broken, didn't he reject Nine or was he giving him a chance after that kiss? They did not make that clear at all) but since he wasn't actuay crying, it just looked like he was trying to poo. I really want to know why Tee isn't angrier at Dao. Or at least taking several steps back from Dao. Like he caught him kissing another guy, someone who is his friend. Then he watched as they have what can only be described as a lover's quarrel. He should have walked away pissed at both of them. Ahh, that what makes it soo deliciously messy. That slowmo 'hit the cheating boyfriend while I cry' scene was solid gold cheese and I loved it! Hilarious!

I hated the part where they just causally show Praew trying to rape Nine while he was impaired like its normal. I will say that girls using sex to rekindle relationships they know are over is normal, but lets not. Lets just not include it, despite it showing how desprite she was to keep Nine. It was just wrong.

It was an okay ending. I only have a problem with Fah never apologizing for ghosting Prince while he was sick and almost dying in a hospital. Like Fah could have used his doctor's cred, found out where Prince was and just made sure he was okay. Without the apology, Prince agreeing to become Fah's boyfriend after not seeing or hearing from him for a month makes zero sense.
Also, why did the Chief have to follow Sincere's request not to tell Fah? At the very least, the Chief should have asked Prince what he wanted.
And lastly, did Fah really change his number? It doesn't make a ton of sense, sincevas a doctor his number is too important. Changing that for everyone who needs it would be a giant hassle.
They were beautiful together (espcially that last scene, but this last episode was meh.

At this point, between the so so subs making the plot super unclear and a bad script, I'm here for every second of screen time Boun and the boxers are in because Holy Moly! Boun just stands there and looks like sex on a stick, and he's not even really trying in this role. He has said and done very little in these 4 episodes, but I do not care. I feel bad for his hair, but he should stay blonde forever. I hated his look in the 7Projects drama, but even this two tone is working for him.

I do not care about the plot of the boxers. It isn't making a whole lot of sense, other than I feel bad for them both for their individual circumstances. But again, plot be damned, cause sheesh! Face and Bodies are distracting enough for me. Normally that isn't the only thing I notice but...well...they look good is all I am trying to say.

Someone tell me what was that whole cleaning the room/finding all the kinky sex toys scene for. Like there is SOOO much that this show acts like we, the audience, are supposed to know/get, even though the characters don't know yet, but they forgot to tell us.
So many questions, but very few answers. So I'll enjoy it for the eye candy, since that is literally all we are getting from this show.

I was like did he GIVE Sun to Arthid for payment, cause its literally the only thing that makes sense.

Literally came back to the page to see what is ACTUALLY going on because the fans are literally blaming everyone and everything in defense of Barcode but I haven't heard any of the actual actors complain, so I wanted to see what all the fuss was about and is it just crazy fans being crazy fans (like they did to Zee and Nunew)

Well this was was better than the first 4 episodes. They finally showed a bit of heat. Now them baby kisses down the chest were crap, but at this point, 'you get what you get and you don't get upset' 😂
I kept waiting for someone to either re-explain Danai's plan for Kim or for Cherry or his lacky to say his plan was dumb. Cause its dumb (although the preview says it works 😒)
Ummm, did Kim request to work from home permanently? I must have missed the part where Kamol said, if you live with me, you have give up your job, your family and your friends. Kim should be pitching a bigger fit, cause this whole thing is crazy.

Yes!! That hair bothers me soooo badly! It disappear one scene and I was like thank goodness someone plucked it, but nope, it came back next scene...sigh!

Yeah, definitely!

Yeah, I usually watch all the shows to the end (if I could make it through Physical Therapy and Bite Me, I can survive anything! 🤣). I just hope the drama I was expecting picks up the pace.

I really wish screen writers and directors and producers would look up mental disorders, particularly the one the give a character, before using it. Praew's behavior isn't particularly bipolar and I wish they would lump all neurotic, irrational behavior under the diagnosis of bipolar.
Normally I am down for this messy show, but this was a meh episode. Nothing happened plot wise or character developement. I need to get to the point that I am rooting for Nine and Daonuea, but they aren't giving what they could have. This episode was intended to show Nine being romantic to Dao, with hopefully Dao being conflicted about his feelings because Nine showed him how much he cared by taking care of him throughout their time in the park. We got a little of that, but not enough
At least not enough to show Nine actively trying to win Dao's heart and certainly none of Dao melting cause Nine was romantic, reminding Dao why he liked Nine to begin with.
I really hope.Tee gets caught cheating next week and that the scene in the scene trailer where Nine is sleeping with Praew is a flashback. I need more story. And honestly I don't care for Boat and Candy. Both annoyed me while Praew was destroying the office. Both should have done more to her to cut it out.

Man, this show would be half way decent if they would kiss right. Like what the heck! They sold us a lemon!

Japan with their top notch BL dramas. It would have been perfect if we had gotten a kiss in the alley way instead the cliche jumping apart scene. I really enjoyed this. Told a wonderful story in a short amount of time. While would have loved if it was like 1 more episode longer with a montage of them living day to day, they gave us a fantastic story in very little time. Also, the OST is amazing and was instantly downloadable.

Definitely Dao, but it's complicated.

This was better than the book. Special shout out to Tong, Bible, Build and Barcode for some Top Notch acting. Watching Tong slowly process his dad's 'death' then watching that mournful cry build up in his chest til it came out was a thing of beauty. That's what true grief looks like. Same for Bible. Seeing that his Dad was gone and seeing that he had well and truly lost everything...he looked like he shattered in that moment. Chef's kiss. Build breaking down watching Vegas get shot and thinking that his reason for happiness was gone. Again, another perfect display of utter grief. Finally, Barcode. I simply cannot wait to see what he does in the future, cause watching him break listening to that song was masterful. It's so hard to believe this is his first role, cause there are seasoned actors who cannot pull that level of emotional range off. All of them displayed why acting is considered a form of art. And that is what this was, art. I know they talked about a Season 2 and I look forward to it. I need more KimChay, VegasPete and TimeTae. And Khun and of course KinnPorsche.
I loved what they did with the mom. In the book she dies and all Porche and Chay get is to see her perserved body. No closure. But everything else is from the book. The tug of war between the uncles for Porsche to pick sides by telling their 'sides' of the story. I like that the boys get something from all those years of trauma, even though it is not perfect. I hope we get more with that storyline. Not a full recovery of memory, but remembering her kids.
All in all, this was a masterpiece. Zero complaints. I just want more. Kudos to the entire staff who made this possible, it was excellent.

This episode had its good and bad points. I do not care this is a show about flawed human beings. I hate cheating, but I can always find away to empathize with someone. Daonuea and Nine just come off as really confused individuals instead of just cheaters. I think Nine stays with Praew because 1) he still loves her the sense that usually when you have loved someone, they will always hold a special place in your heart, even if they did you wrong. Honestly, its why people get so angry at people who hurt you, because you still love them and it makes you angry that you still feel something for them even though they hurt you. Praew is obviously mental unstable cause walked in front of a moving car and got hit. The scars on her are I hope will be addressed, cause as an actress, she wouldn't have those showing (in this character or if these are real scars from the actress playing Praew). I think this is another reason why Nine won't leave her. He feels obligated to stay with her in case she hurts herself or others. I think he initially got back with her to mask the feelings he had for Dao, they seem to be the first time he fell head over heals in love. It was intense, and flawed people run from stuff lile that. Hence the ghosting. But Nine, seeing Dao again, realizes hewants to be with Dao, but with Dao rejecting him over and over again he is kind of keeping Praew around as back up if you will. Does that suck that he is doing that to her, absolutely. But again, he is deeply flawed. And they showed there maybe some family trauma to have cause some of his bad behavior.
Dao also is confused about his feelings. He is also using Tee to mask his feelings for Nine. He literally said, You have to try something to see if it will work. After Nine ghosted him, he didn't want to get hurt anymore, so Tee seems to be the safer bet. But the heart wanta what the heart wants. Hence the scene everyone waa ao bored with, the picture taking scene. I didn't find it boring, but I could see what they were trying to show. Nine was avoiding Dao because rejected him once again and clearly chose Tee. So he gave himself some distance. Dao though sought Nine out just to be near him. It very much a 'I am going to pick on you cause I like you' scenario. They both cannot leave each other alone. Both are in denial about how much they want to be together, well not Nine. He looked blissful with Dao laying on his shoulder.
The bad parts: I like Candy but she needs to pick a side or stay out of it. She flip flopped the whole episode. I get she is friends with both but she is all over the place with her support.
The messy soap opera lover one loved the slap scenes, but maybe it was the translations, but the whole convo made little sense, it was like we were supposed to know previous information about the exboyfriend, but they did not fill us in.
The heimlich scene was a bit annoying, only because 1) he talked and therefore did not need it and 2) who chokes and doesn't need water immediately after. Who helps someone choking and doesn't hand water over for them to drink. Why did it take so long for staff to come over, or any of the patrons to stand up and watch. Heimlichs are scary to watch in person amd it would have had everyone concerned, not annoyed or looking on curiously, so that scene was annoying.
Other than that, I am still hanging in there.
