The relationship between Itt and Day is not normal or healthy. Despite Day being a jerk most of the time, Itt is apparently still in love with him and cares about him as much as he always did, though why is a good question. As Itt's boyfriend, Day is incredibly possessive and insanely jealous of anyone taking the slightest interest in him and afraid if he becomes friendly with someone else he'll be dumped. They are forever alternating between making up and bickering. It's all becoming a bit tedious and the story, such as it is, hardly moves forward or goes anywhere. Thank goodness it's coming to an end soon.
What can I say about the finale of this series except to quote Miss Prism on the meaning of fiction: "The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily." Most of the bad guys ended up dead and Ms Ae was imprisoned while Ken and Din/Peter apparently ended up together in Thailand again at Sai's wedding on the 7th day of the 7th month, a date significant to them too, at which point, all they did was look at each other.
After Ken and Din/Peter made love to each other, the latter left in the morning to take care of all the baddies and despite hales of gunfire from multiple men and a few with knives, he miraculously overcame them and left them all dead. Either they were all terrible shots or he's made of Teflon. It's a shame that there wasn't a proper scene with him and Ken where they discussed the past, kissed and looked forward to the future together, but the story came to a close in its own way which I can live with and feel that it wasn't entirely a waste of time watching this despite its flaws, as the locations, cinematography, acting and the dramatic score compensated for that, so it earns from me a standard 8/10.

Made in 2016 before the crackdown on gay content, this film tells the story of one boy, Xioan, who is torn between his love for two other boys. It all takes place in a dormitory and its surroundings. The ending is sudden but indecisive because it continues with snippets during the end titles. It has poor sound, the subtitles are not good, and they flash by too quickly.
So it's finally confirmed, Mr Lue is Din and Hin is his older brother. Their sister Sai knew about the swapover but didn't tell anyone, though it appears when Hin sat down at the opposite end of the table with Mr Lue, he appeared to know this, but how I'm not sure - one of many inexplicable things the script doesn't deal with properly, just like in the last scene where Ken calmly enters Mr Lue's unlocked house (he's not in a hotel for a change, being a foreigner, but in his house which is a bit like a museum or art gallery, and how he knew about it and found it is another mystery), finds a gun and presses it against Mr Lue's back while he's in the shower, then tells him to prove he can get over Din if he makes love to him, which he does to his complete satisfaction - that's obvious by the way we see them sleeping together after the lovemaking.
For a moment, I thought it would end there, but there's still the final episode where I suppose it's going to deal with all the baddies who provided so much of the action and drama. It's all been a bit of a mess, mainly due to the fragmented way it's been put together and some things just not being clear. One remarkable aspect is that when someone is badly injured, a short time later there's no sign of them (looking at you, Mr Lue). For Ken, it's certainly been a bumpy ride but at least now he's found happiness with Mr Lue, even if he's still in the dark about his real identity.
The good thing about binge watching a series is that it allows one to immerse oneself in the story so one becomes more involved with the characters as we follow the trajectory of their unintentional love affair with all its ups and downs until it reaches the inevitable happy ending. This one did not disappoint. It is easy to see why Wonyoung and Taejoong could not help but fall in love with each other as the former is so cute and the latter is attractive and talented. On the downside, I found the kissing rather passionless and Taejoong barely changed his expression or tone of voice. The side couple provided more in the way of light relief and they were most engaging. It had an excellent script, great production values and I could easily believe that Taejoong was a master of making ceramics. Overall, this was a very well made, well told and enjoyable series.
This series is not that enjoyable. I have no intention of reading the books and having reached Ep. 4, I'm finding the relationship between Day and Itt rather toxic. I'm aware Day has a psychological hold on Itt by spoiling him in the past and making him dependent on him in a sort of dom/sub situation but since the accident, it is based more on powerplay without any redeeming features, with Day becoming mean, nasty and unreasonable while Itt for some reason still seems to be in love with him, though why he isn't turned off by Day's awful behaviour beats me, yet he's still hopeful that Day will be more like the person he used to be. Good luck with that. The others around them have criticised Day to no avail but it's like water off a duck's back. It's just so unpleasant.
At the end of Ep. 8 we see Mr Lue's face being unwrapped for a few seconds as if he's just had plastic surgery and suddenly everyone (including me) suspects he's Din, BUT... and it's a big but, you can change a person's face but you can't change their voice, so it stands to reason Ken would have recognised Din's voice even though he has the face of someone else, but he hasn't.
Aside from that, why hasn't anyone killed off Nok yet? In the course of events, some of his assailants, including Mr Lue, have had the opportunity to do it but nobody has. I wish somebody would so we don't have to hear his maniacal laugh anymore.
I think the Mr. Lue actor actually has potential. His emotional scenes are actually good. His eyes convey a lot…
As far as I can make out, at the end of Ep. 6, the person who ended up falling off his motorbike with a knife in his back was the malevolent Nok, but here he is, back in Ep. 7, still prowling around and terrorising people while trying to find out where Din is, who should be dead as he was shot then fell off a cliff with Ken, who survived.
You're right about the situation with Mr. Lue and Ken, who has declared his love for him and every time they're about to kiss there's a damn interruption. It's very frustrating. However, until Ken is certain whether Din is alive or dead, there will be little to no development between those too. I fear that the mystery of Din is going to be with us for some time yet so we're going to be in for a lot of plot padding until that's resolved.
I have to admit that I'm surprised by the welter of super enthusiastic comments about this series. The two leads were very cute and worked well together. When they finally put the past aside and decided to be boyfriends forever (after all, there was a 7 year interval between school and work), though keep their relationship secret from their coworkers, initially it appeared to be one-sided love but as the story progressed we found out that wasn't exactly the case. It was essentially plot driven, the writing was good, it held one's interest and the length was just right. The bits after the end credits were a clever touch. All in all, it was a pleasant and likeable series, fairly original in concept, and eminently suitable to be watched in one sitting as I did.

Overall, I found this to be a charming series with two very cute boys in the lead roles. It's easy to see why Tae Hyun found it difficult to express his love to Da Yeol for so long, but when given the opportunity unexpectedly, he was more than ready to. Much has been made in the discussion about the lack of a proper kiss in the final episode. In my opinion, there should have been one and with it I would have given the show .5 more in my rating.
When I first discovered this show, it was nearing the end of the final episode being uploaded. Shortly afterwards, I began to watch it and completed it over a period of 5 days. By the end of Ep. 5, I had become so engrossed in this story and the way it left one hanging on to see what happened next that I felt compelled to keep on watching and was justly rewarded. I've seen quite a few body swap series but this one is possibly the most nuanced, thoughtful and unusual story of them all.
Set in a picturesque rural area, it was wonderfully acted by the mostly young cast, with beautiful cinematography and a sensitive score that combined, enhanced and brought it all together. Like all good stories, it had its twists and turns that only added to one's enjoyment. Highly recommended.
I can't find this anywhere, not with a Google search nor on KissAsian, so where is it and what is the link? Thanks.
Silly me. I should have looked up the title, 'Dangerous Drugs of Sex' which of course has its own MDL page, https://kisskh.at/40291-sei-no-gekiyaku and though the plot has similarities to the Love Syndrome prequel, this film is not it and is actually a film from Japan. Following the link from Lazy Subber, it leads to both volumes of the manga, which suggests that the Thai film/s, if they were ever made are no longer available. Also, there is no year after the title - see above (which never happens) so that kind of proves it.
