I think we're missing some key info, like how is Tutor involved with all of this? And how did Nuth and Keen get so close? I think Keen is the real sex addict here, when I was rewatching I was surprised how many of our guys he'd been sleeping with!

Amen to that, but fix the "left turn to Lovey-Dovey Town" mistake they made at the end of this ep!

Exactly! And the reason no one saw it coming is because it was so out of character for Aob to do at that moment. If it had happened a few more episodes later after they'd gotten past the friction between them, it would have made more sense.

Yes! There was a scene near the end of ep5 where Aob is smoking in the bathroom and Puen comes in to use one of the urinals. Puen asks Aob if he wants to go eat chicken noodles with him (which is why Aob asked to have the same thing), saying "You're my mentor, we should be close." Aob says they don't need to be close outside of work. Puen asks him why he's so cold, can't he have feelings? Aob says, "You're not my friend or a brother, you're my competition."

I'm basically obsessed with this couple and am *this* close to writing something that would start when Aob asks him to go eat chicken noodles but changes Puen's reply and then goes from there so I can give them the story I want. 😄

Merci! And ah, true, hard to say how they'll be written in the next ep, could be anything at this point! 😄

In a nutshell, I wasn't expecting Aob to ask Puen if he wanted to go out for some noodles, so basically like the date/hang-out that Puen had suggested before, but when he *did* ask, I FULLY expected Puen to say no. I mean, here's a guy who's told Puen he's not hot enough, not good enough for clients, that they aren't friends...so I felt like Puen would play hard to get and make Aob work for it a bit. I'd have had Puen say something like, "Even though I'm much younger than you, Phi, I'm too tired from servicing so many clients." 😄

Ah, you mean, are they going to be together for the rest of the series? Hard to say! And I will be happy to tell you how I wanted it...after dinner!

Yes, clearly coworkers are still on the table! 😂 And I'm not against them being together, it's what I've wanted, just not like they wrote it.

Well, you're more forgiving than I am! 😂 I'm not saying I didn't want them to end up together or that I didn't want to see them being cute together...but to go from "You're not hot enough to screw" to "Do you want to get some noodles?" and jumping on his back...I have whiplash!

5. Hmm! For some reason I thought they were flashbacks but now I'm doubting myself! I'll have to rewatch.
6. See, I felt that everything we'd gotten WAS a slow burn compared to the rest of them ("I'm going f*** this rich kid for his money! Oh shit, now I'm in love with him!") and then yeah, Aob suddenly flipped and is admitting that he likes him? What's up with that?

Thank you!!! I'm so excited!! 😀

I just think that the actors in Playboyy are mostly mediocre at best so a series with worse acting? No thanks. 😄

As someone who had paused that trailer scene multiple times 😂 I think we can be forgiven for not noticing because the "couples" in the background are in too much darkness to really see well.

1. I felt sorry for Keen up until he met with Nuth!! Dude now seems super sketchy!!
4. I didn't think Phop meant he could NEVER be a bottom or a top, just that to be an effective prostitute he was too tall/big, but I could be wrong!
5. I thought that was Prom and Nant, meaning flashbacks. Why in a corridor though? Lord knows!
6. They WERE the best. 😭 But for some reason the writers decided to jump off the Slow Burn train.
7. Preach!

We believe the speech/lips out of synch is because those scenes between Soong and First were originally filmed with them speaking English and then they decided to overdub them in Thai after all the criticisms.

OMG, I would hate to be watching DFF, in that case. 👀

We already knew Keen was at the masked party, right? I'm pretty sure that he told Captain about it while he was screwing Captain in the sauna.

How do you feel about Aob and Puen's sudden cuteness? To me it doesn't fit with how their story was unfolding up until then.

I've downrated it because of the sloppy writing and incomprehensible pacing...but I'm still enjoying it!

Oh, I'm not sure I know why Aob was crying, just that I thought of a plot reason that I like for my ff (which I kind of started making notes for during my commute this morning 😄). And you write too? Maybe we could collaborate! Can I message you privately about it, at least to tell you my plot reason? 😊

I've never been inspired to write a fanfic story to "fix" something in the show...until now! I have some general thoughts and an idea I really like for why Aob was crying in the previous ep (6, I think?). Of course...where to find the time? 😅

Exactly!!! From the second ep I was already disappointed that couples like TeenaZouey and SoongFirst had already somehow gotten to the "I care about you so much" stage when in the first ep we saw how the ex-Playboyys were only out to take advantage of the students, so when they introduced AobPuen in ep5, I thought, YES!! Here's a pair who are hot together and who have some kind of tension between them that the writers are drawing out...perfect!

I was enjoying the shift between them - the student overtaking the master - and even in today's ep when we heard Aob's thoughts about how whipped he was, I thought, Great, Puen can be the one to push Aob away now, even if in reality he doesn't want to...but this?? It's not even that it makes no sense, it's that it's just very poorly done considering how well they'd constructed their dynamic so far. We knew they'd end up together, but this just seems "fake."

I'm far more disappointed than I'd thought I'd be.
