Totally agree with everything! Fun fact: my mother did something similar to U; she and her friend were strategic about where they hung out to meet young men who would probably have a successful future...and met my dad! 😍 So she wasn't out to scam anyone but just tried to be smart about it. And North was the one taking things way too fast and offering a crazy amount of money! 😂

I kind of forgot that there was even a scam going on with Tim and Pai! But, not having watched the trailer, I do wonder about Tim's plan because dating someone for a year seems like a very long-term investment. Irl, romance scammers have a LOT of targets on the line and start asking for money from them pretty early but here it's hard to think that Tim is working on anyone else besdies Pai, esp since they seemed to be living together by the end of the ep (though Tim still has his own apartment with the corkboard spelling out the scam?). I'm not asking for spoilers, just wondering out loud.

Ha, true! It's pretty rare that we get more seasons, though not sure this really needs one, though I'd be more interested in following Pheem! Maybe he'll meet someone at his new job and won't have to go to the rage room as often. 😂

I'd try to ignore them if I were you. I totally understand what you mean!

I suppose they could make a S2 but I'd be surprised if they did.

And/or realistic. I think many of us have been in a relationship like that or know someone who has, like we shouldn't be and we know that but.... I think Jira was right to question whether or not they would work out in the future.

Could be! But I got burnt with Memoir of Rati so learned a lesson with that and avoided all the pilots that were released at the end of last year. I know which pairings I like/love so have their series on my PTW list, and if I hear good buzz about other series, I'll check them out.

True, but I decided to stop watching pilots when I finally realized that the story can (usually does?) change by the time the final series comes out, and then I'm disappointed because I have expectations from the pilot. 😂 I'd rather just watch the first ep of the series and drop it if I don't care for it.

Ah, I didn't watch the pilot, so good to know! I guess I'll wait until it's released and then see. 😁 I guess I could watch Dew's MuTeLuv story in the meantime since that would be short.

That's fair, though not sure I'd agree with boring, but that depends on the series. I wrote in another comment here that I did appreciate that GMM did make a series that had a different tone and themes compared to their typical series (series which I enjoy!), but I think to expect them to go so far as to not have a pairing end up together is unrealistic. I'm not sure if that's insulting or not (I'm about as mature as you're going to find on MDL, ha ha) but if I know that going into a GMM series, at least I won't have other expectations. There are other series from other companies/countries that I can watch if I want to have the chance of being surprised by an ending.

I feel you! I think I need to add a timestamp for that scene to my notes about that ep! It's too bad, in a way, that he'll be in a bromance pairing and not a BL pairing but I may have to check out their series anyway.

Edited to add that the rage room scene is in ep7 at 16 minutes.

You're welcome! But yeah, it took me a few GMMTV series to realize that yes, they will always have happy endings where the pairings end up together so I should never expect anything else. Like no matter how unlikely it seems or no matter how many roadblocks are thrown up, they always get past them.

Oh, no need to remind me! That was the best scene in the entire series, and yes, I would be totally fine with a series that only had Dew in a rage room. 🥵🥵🥵

Right, like Jira could have realized that neither Koh nor Pheem were right for him, but an ending like that would be unheard of for GMMTV.

Lol! Or maybe Koh is that kind of lean guy who is stronger than he looks.

Yes! I think that and the actual paintings were the best things about this series. I mean, I appreciate that GMM tried to make something a bit different, but thought overall it could have been better.

Dew was amazing in this!! I'm now a fan.

I did love the new name for Jira in his phone! 😂

It was what we'd expect from GMMTV, so if you were hoping for anything else, you're right to avoid them in the future.

I definitely thought of codependency with Koh and Jira. Koh can't sleep without Jira, Jira can't paint without Koh. Hard to say if it's love or not but certainly doesn't seem very healthy, but yes, probably more realistic than a ton of other relationships we've seen.

How did Pheem not win that fight with the first punch??
