"Gina's love for Khing is kinda twisted."

It is most definitely twisted, and I hope by the conclusion of this series that both Gina and Khing apologize to Cake and Kla about their behavior. I also hope that Kla severs any sort of future interaction with them. Those two have never been his friends.

A lot of people don't get what intimacy is, without connecting it to needing to see these characters having sex. Sex and intimacy are two entirely seperate things.

"I also love that aren't doing that God awful trope of the one character going through something but they don't tell the partner. I love that Cake immediately tells and shows Kla the messages and what is happening to him. I loved that when Kla was jealous, instead of being mad and accusing Cake, he simply expressed how he was feeling and then they worked together to solve the problem by communicating honestly.
I really wished this show got more love, it totally deserves it."

I also thought it was great that both Cake and Kla aren't worried about discussing their issues, situations, and the development of their relationship with one another. It doesn't make it tame, boring, or drama free to show that these characters can express their feelings for each other by showing them talking to one another.

The writers really made reference to the idea that Khun Dad could possibly get Nu Lin pregnant with their baby.

😃 😀 😄

Well, the next episode will be set at the beach (Phuket), so we will need more screentime for Cake to meet Kla's family, for Cake and Kla to have sex, AND see how the writers come up with someway to have everyone from both friend groups end up joining the festivities.

I don't think the writers are throwing AF in the trash. AF is an outsider, and basically only Cake is close to him. Cake's other friends tolerate him, because Cake was nice to him. Have you noticed that AF shows up when the group is already together? He just pops up, out of nowhere.

As for the motivations of Gina and Khing, I still don't get why Gina is so fixated on getting Khing with Kla, when it's evident (to me) that she doesn't even like Kla.

Haii is actually doing a pretty great job in portraying AF's mental and emotional instability in not accepting that Cake has never thought of him as more than just a good friend. What I am puzzled by is why this type of portrayal is almost always in these BLs, especially the Thai ones.

That if AF had confessed sooner, he just assumed that Cake would accept him.

So because you showed romantic interest in someone, they just have to accept those feelings and date you.

OMG...that drunken nightmare of AF attempting to go Alec Forest on Kla and Cake was so horrible, yet absolutely hilarious. It's like the writers knew that they had to touch base on AF's obsessive behavior and unrequited feelings for Cake.

Do teens/young adults really behave in this invasive way with other teen/young adults who have no involvement in the entertainment industry?

Why is it considered to be "arrogant", because you won't accept a gift from a total stranger? Why should you feign interest in someone else, just because they are interested in you?

I just don't understand. Xion Lim couldn't get enough money to purchase a decent wig for that poor actress to wear?!

The only great thing about this series is the opening credits. Must have blown the budget on the filming of it alone. I hope the entire cast and crew got paid for their participation.

Why would the knowledge of August having a relationship with his girlfriend of 7 years make this series fail to appeal to people?

"IMO many aspects in the evolution and current state of "BL" are very unfortunate, but that's why I appreciate that some companies in some countries consistently tell a variety of stories about gay characters."

I think that "BL" has the opportunity to adapt and do both of the fantasy/fairytale sagas, along with the later stages of life stories focused on LGBTQ+ . I loved "What Did You Eat Yesterday", because we had two totally different male couples, living, loving and thriving together. Even now, we still have 3 current Japanese BL series that are vastly different in regards to storylines and characters: "I Hear The Sunspot", "Happy Of The End", and "Sugar Dog Life".

I knew that I recognized Willi and Focus from another series. I completely forgot about Star Hunter's BL idol series "Beyond The Star".

Now, the writing for this series isn't the best, but this (IMO) is far and way better than the last series starring Tutor and Yim.

I definitely wish that we could get a live action adaption of the BL novel these characters are trying to write.

Wow. Whomever wrote the script must have spent some time lurking on MDL and Reddit. How the "readers" lashed out again on Ozone?!

I have the same hope, because shockingly for a Thai BL, we only have 5 episodes, 3 more to go.

Even Cake's female friends are written to have a better awareness of their friend group.

I loved that Gam got Poon to actually use his words in expressing his evolved feelings towards him. Poon just always had Gam's interest and attention, and literally was the last person to know in their friend group that how he and Gam behaved towards one another was more than friends.

I am just putting this idea out to ponder over until next week's episode: Do you think that Gina's fixation on getting Khing and Kla together is due to her own unrequited/unaware feelings for Khing?

How Gina talks about Kla makes me think that she's envious of him.

Well, their friend Gina is fixated on keeping Khing on that delusional path. Checking the cast and crew page, I noticed that the screenwriting team has more women than men on it. I just don't get why this team of writers chose to write these particular female characters to be absolutely oblivious regarding their group of male friends.

With the male characters, especially Kla, Cake, and Gam they are aware to themselves that they are attracted to other men.

"Gay love does not end at 30. Gay love isn't always about skinship and sex. People gay and staight can fall in love with people who are different from them and that love can last. Most societies have judged gay relationships no matter if there was an age gap or not. But when it's two consenting adults living their lives and loving each other that is beautiful to me."

Exactly. When Mitsuya actually dealt with the unnecessary and uncalled for comments from his "fans" that focused on his personal and private life over what he was attempting to show them during his cooking show, he realized that he let outside judgement to keep him from pursuing/continuing a relationship with Ishida. A man that made him happy, to open up his heart again.

Isn't the entire premise of BLs, to showcase that "love is love", and that everyone, including male same sex pairings (even with huge age-gap differences) deserve the right to be loved and to receive love just like anyone else?

"The whole point of this drama is to show that there's nothing wrong with being an introvert, and that forcing someone to constantly leave their comfort zone and making fun of them (or even criticising them) for being different to the norm might actually be more hurtful than helpful."

Exactly. Jane saw herself in Diew, and actually wondered why he was the one getting the interest/attention of God, why he was able to be seen by others, without having to constantly make his presence know. Jane doesn't know or actually like who she is without the podcasting, the designer clothes, and bad-mouthing of others.

That she continued to hang out with those girls who don't even like her, says a lot about how she doesn't value herself at all.

Wow. I haven't even realized that this series hasn't been cursed with those usual (and horrible) sound effects. I absolutely hate those background sounds, and sadly, I have noticed that the BLs produced out of Malaysia have picked up on having those same exact sounds.

I didn't recognize Haii at all from "Chains Of Heart."

Mitsuya having a moment of clarity, when he realized how much he has missed Ishida, being around him. Saying that he couldn't imagine if his own son had brought home a man the same age as he is.
