Homosexuality today, in the third decade of the 21st century, remains illegal and remains a taboo in countries…
I feel like you've completely disregarded the fantasy premise of this drama. You may not like the fated lovers thing but it is at the core of their story. Saying that their relationship is inexplicable because of their social class, while one of them is a time traveler and the other "knew and loved" him before he ever met him is completely missing the point imo. I for one do not believe Jom could travel back in time without ending up in a parallel universe, and who said it has to be identical to ours.
Secondly, just because something wasn't widely accepted or carried a sentence doesn't mean it wasn't happening all around the world in private estates. They are drunk in love, so they act like it. I don't remember them deliberately kissing in front of others or in public though? Most of their intimate scenes happen in and around the house where they stay alone. I think it was nicely shown in the drama how Jom's presence touched lives and their genuine love changed hearts. That farewell party only included people who cared about them and already knew about their relationship. I don't see why they couldn't find acceptance in that crowd. Personally, I saw it as a touching goodbye.
Are we guys ready? Who am I fooling? I know we will never be ready. 😭
Yes and no:) Whenever I think of Khun Yai, I'm so not ready. He's such a beautiful soul. But I'm also insatiably curious and really want to know how they end the story!
can i just say i love the green color palette of this series, like the bokeh effect of the outdoor scenery opening…
Oh, this is great! l have to go back and read your previous comments:) Nothing kills the romance faster for me than contrived gestures! Totally agree that the love language between Jom and Yai is key in how authentic and passionate their love feels. Especially with that fantasy premise. Jom's body language often shows insecurity or uneasiness. But with Yai he's so comfortable and at ease. It's beautiful to watch. I think the build-up to shared intimacy in this drama was handled brilliantly!
Seeing the direction of episode 11, there's 3 kinds of ending that I can foresee. I feel like they may have an…
That's what I thought about Nonkul's voice! I find that deeper tone of voice he uses while talking intimately with Yai both sexy and soothing. Someone tell me if he ever gets an asmr podcast:)
I'm gonna join the sharing circle and talk about the scene that made me weep in this episode;) It was that sweet, playful moment when Jom was drawing Yai on the bed. That was like a brief parting of clouds on a dark stormy day. For a moment they were just being their unburdened selves. Happy. Free in love. And it made me acutely feel the approaching loss. I just can't accept that this openly loving, earnest and genuine Yai will lose his Jom for a lifetime😭
This episode felt very much like a closing of a chapter. But I'm stubbornly keeping a ray of hope that they're gonna let Jom come back to the past in the end:) I do have a lot of faith in the writers of this drama, so I'm trying to convince myself the ending will be emotionally satisfying, one way or another.
Why not watch from the official yt channel? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=btHHL8fcT28&pp=ygUcaSBmZWVsIHlvdSBsaW5nZXIgaW4gdGhlIGFpcg%3D%3D
Sorry it didn't work. There are other browsers with built-in vpn or free VPN apps you can try but I don't know which would work for you. Let's hope it gets uploaded somewhere soon so you can join the cryfest;)
After rewatching a second time I kind of think I understand the ending and am convinced it’s actually a happy…
I was just looking up info about the poem on Chinese internet and stumbled upon this theory.
Honestly, it's quite convincing. This show has been so clever about suggesting things without outright showing them. Them taking that four characters out of the poem and immediately zooming in on the city gate with the name of the place. Then showing that small courtyard with a growing tree. Could totally suggest this is where Chang An is waiting for Wan Mei. Plus I rather like a redemption arc for Xing Fei.
Now I imagine them living happily in a small house surrounded by apricot trees:)
Just finished. This was such a visually mesmerising, intense, heart-rending tale. The plot was meandering in places but kept me completely immersed by the end. And the award for best tragic hero goes to Gong Zi<3 To me one of the most memorable characters in the whole dramaland.

My unobservant self just noticed there's a separate page for the uncut version?! Lol now I'm torn - should I rate both? Anyway, I've been watching uncut from ep1. That's the one I recommend!
