I personally think the decision to have Phatsa being utterly clueless about secondary gender status, in this world, in which strangers are attacking omegas in the street (regardless of it being day or night), does the character a disservice. Yet, it makes for the setup of Nakhun being completely overwhelmed by his mate's scent that he bites him, after protecting him from three men.

I hope that 2026 is going well for you. If, you are open to it, would you consider to provide us with a weekly or even end of series review of "My Stubborn Part Deux aka Knot The Series"?!

I get folks that want that fantasy of a homophopic parent finally accepting their grown adult children and their own choices in life, but it still bothers me, that Krit AND Wayu felt that they had to accept that behavior and tried to find ways to deal with his parents in their future plans as a couple.

When Krit's father used his position to try and get him to once again leave Wayu, all I kept thinking was for Krit to sue his father AND the police department for harassment.

It just bothers me and it will always bother me, when BLs/GLs do this redemption for these horrible portrayals of "loving parents" all the time.

"But hey, what is a Thai or Asian drama without horrible parents? Maenmueang's dad is really something else."

All of the parents are truly horrible in this series.

Saithan's unseen mom, who never attempts to try and make sure that her son is physically, mentally, or emotionally fine. Your son tells you, that he has to pay back a huge "debt" and you don't try and find out anything about why he's indebted to someone?

Muang and Prae's parents. A father that constantly scolds his oldest son, neglects his youngest daughter, and accuses his illegitimate daughter of being a leech. He reminded me of the father from "Us The Series." While the mom is just there, hanging onto his arm, silent, smiling, and pretty.

I wasn't bothered by the secondary pairing of Gal and Prae. I don’t think nor feel that they "outshadowed" the screentime nor development of Saithan and Sila at all. Sila and Saithan went from a one-night stand, to developing into a loving, supportive, relationship. Saithan didn't think nor feel that he deserved to be cared for nor loved. That all he needed was sex.

While Sila, focused only on keeping his family's farm and business alive. That he couldn't find a lover AND still be seen as a "credible" businessman in others eyes.

Now, everyone knows about him and Saithan. They don't have to hide their relationship from others.

As for the third pairing. I thought they were just adorable. The baby gay's anticipation and excitement in finally being on age to go to his first bar.

Hopefully, the silly moments, along with those background tunes will slowly fade away, as the newest comrades get familiar to the environment and their leaders.

"Bowl Cut needs to control his mouth before he says something to out them."

I don’t think Bowl Cut (hilarious nickname for this character) actually spilled the beans on Ryo and Zen.

I think their other co-workers have finally put the pieces of the puzzle together of why Ryo and Zen are so competitive with one another on their own and have chosen to not say anything publicly to them, until they say something about their relationship.

They have better common sense than Bowl Cut.

Hirai Amon was fantastic as Futami.

Runch's/Ran's mother is absolutely ridiculous.

I am so glad that Itsuki and Yuma were finally open with one another, about how their mutual lack of communication, trust, and not seeing the other in front of them as a person, and not just as a hopeful potential life-long partner is what caused their relationship to implode.

Hopefully, they will both be able to move on and away from the wreckage, and establish a friendship, because I do think they want each other to be happy. They just couldn't make each other happy as a couple.

I think that's understandable, right?

I figured that was the situation. It bugs the shit out of me, when these fictional moms are always written to be quiet, dutiful wives, who ignore their grown adult child's pain and suffering, because she wants to be a good wife.

She knew Krit has been wanting to tell, at least to her, about himself, and the man who has made him happy. I wonder how everything will be wrapped up, because I don’t understand how Krit NOR Wayu are supposed to have a decent relationship with the man that threatened harm to him

It's like what happened in last year's Love In The Moonlight.

I knew I recognized that actress from another series.

I think they do these redemption plots for the horrible parents in these series, because in reality, these parents never ever change their behaviors/attitudes/actions/beliefs. So, they have to give the viewers, who are living under these horrible conditions, some delusional sense of escapism.

The mom AND the father, saw how Krit revived once Wayu was allowed to be inside Krit's hospital room, encouraging him to wake up and come back to him. Krit didn't come back for his parents, nor his absentee fiancée. He came back for Wayu.

Krit now has to be defiant and stand up for himself, Wayu, and the life that they want together.

I absolutely love this series.

Glad that we are getting a part 2 of this series.

I would love it, if Krit's father was revealed to be corrupt. Which will make him lose his "standing" in society. It will hopefully open up Krit's mind to allow himself to start living for his own self, and the shared future life he wants to live/experience with Wayu.

All those plans and dreams he spoke about with Wayu, just won't fade away, due to Krit choosing to walk down that path his father wants for him.

Tai gave Wayu very good advice regarding Mind.

Wayu misses him, but right now, Mind needs to keep away from him. He has to come to terms with his romantic feelings not being accepted and returned by Wayu in a way that will hopefully help him move on in a good way.

I hope IQUIYI picks it up to broadcast in the Americas. This plot is interesting.

"It's a story about desire and longing - and they can't deliver that."

They stripped out all of the desire and longing and just kept the awkward sexual positions and really horrible kiss scenes.

"Scriptwriter: No. The manga and the anime are both explicitly sexual. Like, pornographically sexual, with explicit depictions of gay sex. How do we protect the viewers from reality by making it less sexual?"

I am not even halfway through reading your review and I love it.

I don't understand why these production company's purchase the rights of these highly sexual stories and then chose to take all the sexual heat from the adaption.

This series was just lovely. The exploration and second chance to find love between Azuma and Kuji was very well written, developed, and shown to the audience, in a very grounded and realistic way.

I love watching characters getting another chance at finding connection, and love at different places in their lives.

Kuji was coming out of the painful fog of being the caregiver of his father and his passing. While Azuma was dealing with depression of his life, that wasn't very fulfilling for him at this time.

It was luck that they ended up in the same gay bar 8 years after they spent one night together.

Takeda Kouhei and Shibuya Kento were wonderful together as Azuma and Kuji. Pure magic.

I enjoyed the series.
I wish that the director and screenwriter had provided an adaption that displayed the sexual drive/attraction/heat that should have been there between Fukami and Kaji, to better explain how they went from physical desire to emotional love.
