Sorn's drawn on beard appeared for a couple of seconds. It was there to make a point, that's all, and is irrelevant to the rest of the drama which has so much more to offer, with the ongoing relationship in all its complexities between Sorn and Jun and other ones as well. It should not dissuade you from watching it and if it does, you have a very superficial perspective on what constitutes a good series and whether to watch it or not.

Chi Cheng and Wu Suo are starting to remind me a little of Sorn and Jun in that Chi Cheng has become besotted with Wu Suo and takes every opportunity he can to kiss him, if he's allowed to, and when they do kiss, Wu Suo responds with enjoyment. That's the end of the comparison. These two spend most of their time together playing little power games. Wu Suo wants Chi Cheng to dump his ex-girlfriend, Yue Yue, and make him his boyfriend, something I don't think will happen anytime soon.

Actually, I don't know why I thought Win is gay. There is no indication he is, so I shall amend that bit.

I've been waiting and waiting for Sorn to say to Jun I couldn't admit to myself I've liked you for a long time and find you irresistible. That, I'm sure, would help Jun to be reconciled to him. As for Tai and Champ, Tai's acting is wooden to the core, he has no chemistry with Champ and their love scenes are predictable, not erotic and fortunately are cut short. Indeed, I don't know what a cute, lively boy like Champ sees in Tai. Tai is the older brother of both Jun and Win. To keep his distance from Sorn, Jun has been spending time at the warehouse where Win works and they get along just fine, like buddies. Both boys seem to relate to Tai more as a father figure than an older brother; neither of their parents is present in their lives.

It's good to see a fifty-minute, well-written and acted series coming out of the Philippines; it's very rare. The concensus, however, seems to be this is gaybaiting - Uno, the banished basketball player who has to try out for the men's volleyball team whose members are gay, and that a romance might develop between him and the team's captain, Jared. Naturally, there's a girl inserted, Farrah, who has a crush on the handsome Uno, setting up a three-way tussle for his affections. Perhaps everyone is right. I don't think Philippino boys are as flexible as Thai boys the way they switch from girls to boys as easily as they change their underwear, but Jared is not an unsuitable partner or love interest. The question is, will Uno let himself turn to the other side.

No idea. Why would it be censored?

Body-swapping is nothing new in BL, however, with this series, they've decided to give it a melodramatic edge which takes away any seriousness. My main focus at this early stage is Nat, the boy who plays Nuea, he with the ghastly red hair and an uncanny resemblance to Plai in 'Season of Love in Shimane', particularly his mouth and the way he speaks and sounds. Aside from that, I wonder how they're going to sustain this story for 10 episodes with such slight material.

Pond as Armin is getting better and better with each episode, however, it is Peterpan as Thada whose presence here is so eyecatching. He has only been in one BL series before, ' Oh! My Sunshine Night' (2022). I can't imagine why he's not been seen more frequently. His pairing with Pond is a match made in heaven. There were so many almost kisses. Next week, we'll get the real thing!

Second time this has happened recently. I didn't find the time to watch it either, mores the pity.

This is a typically slick Chinese production, full of cute, goodlooking young men, lovely settings and has a good premise for a BL romcom. Chi Chen is rich, tall, arrogant, gay and always dresses in black. Suo Wei, who is shorter, cute, quick-witted, poor, straight and is miffed that his golddigger of a girlfriend ditched him for Chi Weng, has gone from grabbing the attention of Chi Chen to becoming someone he's friends with, his ultimate intention being to make Chi Chen fall for him, though how that will make the awful girlfriend return to him is unclear and most unlikely. It will never happen because the two guys unexpectedly develop feelings for each other. It's lighthearted, amiable, has its funny moments and easy to watch, featuring 24 full-length episodes to keep us entertained for quite a while, very different in tone and style from what we get from Thailand and other Asian countries. I'm glad the Chinese are now making shows for the international market so they don't have to worry about Chinese censorship. They're not as 'spicy' as many Thai shows, but given time, I'm sure they'll get there.

Agreed.

Nup! It's 30 episodes.

Pity there's no drug test for performance enhancing drugs. Yut's score with the punching ball was higher than Thun's so he doesn't really need to use steroids. I think there's something else going on with his use that we're not aware of yet. Thun is not the sort of sportsman that would even think of cheating like that.

Yut as a character fills the same position as Willy does in Pit Babe S2, however, he has no intent of breaking up Keen and Thun even though he made a play for Keen. His close interactions with Keen since they first met at the bar certainly rile Thun but Keen, like Charlie, is immensely loyal to his boyfriend so there's no chance of anything developing.

The best KBL I've seen for a long time and the main couple are totally adorable. It's no wonder Jeong U is so taken with JiWon - the cuteness, sweetness of character, those puppy eyes - he's irresistible. For his part, Joeng U is tall, charming, handsome, thoughtful and has indicated he's falling for JiWon, so by the time they were together in the gym, he could not hold himself back and kissed JiWon. It took him a little by surprise, but then he leaned in and kissed back... perfection, after which came the confession. I couldn't be happier the way this is progressing.

No, Tharn was Blue's close friend and was not the head of the music club, who is the tall guy in the white shirt. I think his name is Time.

There's an iconic portrait of Queen Alexandra, the Danish wife of King Edward VII, wearing strands of pearls around her neck (https://www.antiquejewellerycompany.com/princess-alexandra-of-denmark/ - it features other pictures and a short biography; definitely worth checking out). I mention this because each little scene is like a precious pearl. Each has something pertinent to say or has a situation that arises which always manages to get resolved to the satisfaction of those involved, and every time they never fail to capture the essence of a scene and make it special, in most cases bringing another smile to one's face as it concludes. For this, I congratulate the writers who possess an uncanny ability with dialogue, a terrific script, and a really talented bunch of young actors, all combined with flawless videography and direction, to produce this BL masterpiece. In my estimation, it is one. GMMTV have perfected this genre like no other company. Over the years, they've given us countless series to watch, some memorable, some forgettable, but this one, in its modest way, is as precious as the jewels worn by Queen Alexandra.

They're deliberately concealing what happened to Blue the day he died and who possibly caused it. Cia is doing his best to find out but he won't ask that direct question. Blue's sister won't talk about it, we just found out his friend Tharn stole money but the most suspicious person remains the head of the music club.

The continuing storyline in Ep. 7 was not conducive to BL content. Peace knows Sun has warm feelings for him, however, for his safety, Peace has to be extremely careful in his interactions with Sun, especially showing affection, in order not to trigger his father to do something drastic. But don't despair, we'll see them kissing properly soon enough.
