He's just weak-willed and easily persuaded.

I gather that in the original manga which this series is based on, the teacher was homophobic so GMMTV made him gay which I thought he was when he called the two boys in to talk to them and gave them a look that said 'I understand your situation'. This seemed just right to me as he could tell the two boys were struggling with first love and didn't think it was right to intervene, nor would the boys spontaneously reveal it to a teacher. However, when Atom discovers that he is gay, the decision for the change makes it seem right so the boys' romance can resume and gives Atom the courage to announce that he and Kongthap are boyfriends to their friends, which is handled brilliantly as they look around waiting for a response after what seems like an eternity and the head boy says, "Finally, you two decide to tell us" and they all cheer. This unqualified acceptance makes it special even though it's probably unlikely in real life.

This is one terrific show, unlike any I've seen before in terms of the story. As an English speaker, I don't have a problem with the dubbing which I barely notice, nor the costumes and jewellery. Indeed, it doesn't look like a cheap production to me. The developing love between the two MLs is also unlike any I've seen. That plus all the subplots that move the action along make this really interesting and having two episodes per week is a bonus.

Vee is adorable and has the most winning smile combined with a bubbly personality. San is doing his best not to succumb to the boy's charms but with two wet dreams on record, it appears to be a losing battle. Chen is never going to come up with a female descendant of Miss Wad and furthermore the right person has to occur under specific circumstances, and I'm also sure he's the one that repeatedly stabbed Vee, though how he survived that will certainly be interesting.

I'm in the fortunate position of having Chromecast which allows me to display the video on my TV which in turn is hooked up to my hifi so I get full-on 5 channel Dolby stereo sound. As far as I'm concerned, it's the only way to watch all videos, with superb picture and sound on a big screen.

Oh my goodness. The sheer drama of it all. After the sudden and unexpected demise of Toss (the gang boss) and his henchmen from Q's gun (a most welcome development - always good to see a psychopath get his comeuppance), his next scene with Ryu and Zen was heart-moving and brought tears to my eyes. Just wow.

Atom will not have a future with Zen for as we saw, his father said they're going to move elsewhere. As for Toss (the gang boss), he's a psychopath and disregards what anyone else wants in order to purse his endless ambition to make money come what may. His sudden demise along with his henchmen is a blessing and finally frees up Ryu to be a normal school kid and play basketball with Zen and the others. A great outcome.

A series that gazes at a group of boys all attending the same university who are all friends and eventually pair off to become boyfriends. There was lots of art and many bouquets of flowers. The last episode was essentially a frenzy of short kissing scenes. All up, pleasant enough with no toxicity or real drama to speak of.

I'll wager that Fort and Peat will take out the trophy for Best BL Couple of 2024 and probably Best Kissing Scenes too. The endearing nature of their relationship is that the confidence of Mahsamut compliments the insecurities of Tongrak so when Mut asks Rak if he can hug him and does so without waiting for a reply, it feels so right - he buries his head in Mut's warm chest while wrapping his arms around him like he's found his security blanket. If two people are truly meant for each other it's these two. I do not doubt that Mut will succeed in making Rak love him and once he does he'll feel all the better about himself for it.

Not so much boring as prosaic as is the whole series so far.

This historical costume BL drama is ravishing and a rare treat for this genre. The intricacies of the plot require careful concentration but overall it's a story about the love between Xiao Bao and Huai En which gets off to a difficult start due to the former thinking the latter is a woman only to discover she is a he and subsequently decides gender doesn't matter. (How modern of him!) Interspersed with this are moments of humour and lightness. With two episodes shown thus far, I look forward with anticipation to my weekly dose of this gorgeous Chinese concoction unrestrained from censorship considerations. May there be more of them in the future.

As far as I'm concerned, Gemini and Fourth portray their characters exactly as the script suggests and they're doing a great job. It takes great skill to bring off such a zany character as Atom and Fourth aces it. Yes, it's goofy, over-the-top and ridiculous at times with a surfeit of sound effects and a music score that underlies the action with precision moment by moment, but that's par for the course with these GMMTV productions, which is part of their charm and foreign to anything similar made in the West. They are a nice contrast to the straight couple who go through their love pains without all that nonsense. I especially like Half (appropriately named) as Atom's friend and in pursuit of Mudmee who is even more clueless than Atom is with Kongthap and has yet to indicate properly his romantic interest in her. Finally, I think it's pointless to compare it with the Japanese original as each production approaches the story with a different aesthetic and I'm fine with that.

It appears that Max surreptitiously filmed Jumper and Shawn kissing and then posted it online, but what was the motive behind it?

Comment on all the comments: what everyone is hoping for is probably far too risqué for them to say should Almond and Latte actually 'do' it.

I hope you're wrong and nothing like that happens.

It is niche. I had to look it up. Ex TikTok: BOAF: Meaning "both" a set of two. Example: I like the pink one & the yellow one. I'll take boaf of them.

All in all, I enjoyed this show immensely from start to finish. It had a strong storyline, romance, drama, action and many lighthearted moments, all put together with style and a sure touch.

The more I see of Mos as Sun, the more of a charmer he is, and indeed, he is very attractive. I also have to agree somewhat about Bank as Lin, he's fairly cute but I put his lacklustre performance more on the writers who have drawn him as this exceedingly polite and overly sensitive boy to whom everybody pays too much attention, his friends in particular who are beginning to become a little annoying.

Sprunnggg!
