The only thing that kept this episode from being 100% perfect . . . 🤗
. . .was that Not was featured in five scenes, and we didn't see Max. 🥺
Maybe next week. 😁

. . .and made me hungry, too. . . 😫
. . .for blueberry cheesecake ice cream and Oreo ice cream mixed together. 🍨

Nine whole episodes and not a single one of them has felt as though it didn't belong. 🥰
A lot of times, after 9 episodes, the series has faltered or run out of steam. . .but not here.
This is definitely the place to be every Friday. 🤗

As much as the bottles and tomatoes are being thrown at Not, I do have to give Title a lot of credit for making this character absolutely repellent. 😈
The acting has got to be great if I so much as see Not appear on the screen. . .and it has the same effect on me as trying to drink through a paper straw. . . 🤢

Krist deserves plenty of credit, too. 💖
There were a few times that Gawin got really close to his ears again, and Krist didn't flinch a single time. 😨😬😨
I think he's cured. 🤗

A lot of what I was going to say about the character development and direction of the story has already been said, so I'll just add in how refreshing it is to watch all of this again this week and not hit the 2X button once.

So, we get the carnival next week. 🎡🎢🎪🎡
If Kawi comes away from this next episode with a giant stuffed duck, I'm going to cheer. 🦆
As well, if Kawi and Pisaeng get on the ride, and it gets stuck halfway up. . .they have to propose. 💍
It's BL Law. 👨🏽‍⚖️👩🏽‍⚖️👨🏽‍✈️
This happened in 'I Will Knock You' and 'My Ride', too. 😆🎡😆

One question for everyone who saw Episode #9. . . 🤔
Was it just coincidence that all of Pear's Mom's artwork looked like ice cream. . .and in the very next scene we see Kawi eating ice cream at the sushi bar? 🍨🍨

06 days, 12 hours, and 20 minutes until Episode #10.
Hang on tight. 😳

We had the 'Search Party in the Woods' used in 'Love Syndrome III', 'La Pluie', 'Our Skyy 2' and 'Home School'. . .and if you want go back a little further, I'll throw 'My Engineer' in there, too. 🌳🌳🧎🏽‍♂️🌳

The 'Amnesia Angst' honors go to 'Love Syndrome III', 'Past-Senger', 'Loneliness Society', and. . .dare I say it. . ."Sunshine Night". . . 😨

We could also include 'Sunshine Night' in on the 'lost in the woods' trope, too, if you want to include the Archery-Ninja Charlie's Angels scene. . .
🤣🤾🏽‍♂️🥷🏽🏹🥷🏽🤾🏽‍♂️🤣

I'll bet there are two or three more to be included if I run down the list later, but these are enough for one year. 🥵

See what you missed by not seeing all of 'Love Syndrome III"? 🤣

I was hoping that 'Project R' was going to turn out to be for finding the hiding spots for Pennhung's croissants. 🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐
I guess not. . . 🫤

All of you were absolutely right about Prasat, too. . . 😈

SHOOKETH here, too. . .?
I thought you only got SHOOKETH from push-ups, loose dress shirts and Danish accents. . . 🤣🤣🤣
If I go back and count, there are probably closer to 50 BLs since we saw 'Triage' this time last year.

The quality may be an issue for now, but we did accomplish something in gaining two new tropes to add to your profile : 😛

🔲 Lost in the Woods. 🌲🌳🌲🌳🧎🏽‍♂️🌳 🐕‍🦺🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏽🏃🏽‍♂️
Almost an entire episode used with a search party to find the main lead.

🔲 Amnesia. 🤕
Not just regular Amnesia, either. . .
Angry Amnesia that derails the whole series for two episodes.

We'll get Off & Gun and Tay & New back in the line-up, and maybe they can revive the whole genre and save us again. 🥰
Tay already has the all-time best onscreen Dad in BL Land, so we can ask him for help first. 😆

As a Professor Emeritus of BL, we may need your help, too. 👨🏽‍🎓

Everyone else explained the light and the way perfectly here already, so I'll just put in my one cent instead of two cents. 😆

Out of 35 BLs that have been laid at our feet in the last year, THIS is the one that is a must-see series. 🏆
This is definitely quality stuff. . .and one of the rarest of shows that hasn't lagged or drifted for an episode or two out of the eight so far. 😃😃🫤😧🥱🙂😧

Even better. . .compared to '609 Bedtime'. . .you won't need a flowchart to figure out what universe you are in every week. 🤣
The time travel has been refined to its purest form here instead. 🔮

The cashier at the Drive-Thru had a big bag or a small bag to hand me.
It was a 50/50 chance, and I still lost. 🫤
Here's your "cookie". . . 🥺🍪🥺

Nuea is my hero for these menu choices so far. 🤗
Wait until he starts getting Lom to pay for his lunch and he'll be ordering doubles. 🍔🍔🍟🍟🥤🥤
It'll be like Win trying to keep up with Team's eating, all over again. 😆
🦐🦐🦐🍿🥦

Hey Hia - 😁🥦🧋

I see you also fell under the spell of Boss at the wedding. 🥰😆🥰

You also read my mind about the "cookie", too. 🍪
This actually happened to me on a work lunch break once.
I went through the Drive-Thru, ordered a Big Deluxe of everything, and drove off with it.
Later, I opened the bag and thought, "How nice. . .someone put a cookie in there for me." 😁

It was the burger. . .about the size of a cookie. . . 🫤

There were two of us at the Drive-Thru, and the other car got my Big Deluxe bag, and I got their Kid's Meal. 🤣
Nuea did much better than I did for dinner. 🍔🍟🥤🍗🍗🍗

Any thoughts on what MAME is going to do to us in this series? 😬

I really enjoyed the first episode and I'm ready for the second one. 🥰
I was worried that we were going to start watching a sitcom, but the story and the acting are carrying this series very well so far. 😁
The sound effects and exaggerations are minor once you get used to them.

Of all of the moments in this episode, the one where I had to laugh the hardest was when Nuea went to see Lom at his office and considered beating Lom over the head with the statue on the desk. 🗽

If you go back enough years. . .this was the exact same scene played out at the beginning of 'The Medusa Touch'. 🔨
The main lead there fared much worse with the statue than Lom did, though. 🤕

I'm enjoying this one a lot more than I expected, so I'm going to stick with it and let them have fun with where the story goes. 😁
I think you're safe to watch at least the first three episodes. 🤣

I think that we're both in the same boat in agreement that 'Remember Me' was the low-water mark to measure their chemistry by, so this series is actually refreshing for that alone. 👧🏽👧🏽👧🏽

As long as the series doesn't turn into 'That's My Candy', the silliness works all right with me.
I remember going through the same cycle when I watched 'Love Stage' and 'Nitiman', and I ended up liking both shows. 😆

For staying devoted to this series though, I might need to be patient with the manager in-fighting scenes and what the screenwriters do with the "pendulous laminate" Episode #11 curse. 🤣🤣
. . .and, if amnesia shows up with one of the main leads by then. . . 🫤

We'll have to let you know and keep you up to date if Ashi starts making a habit of calling Punn "Hia" in this one, too. 🤣

🤣😨🤣

Singto might have touched Krist's ears during the kisses then. 😏🫳🏽😬
🤣
Krist had an unofficial rule of, "Please. . .don't go near my ears. . .for the love of God. . .don't touch my ears. . ." 😨😨😨

In 2023, Krist has gotten better about it. 🤗
I've been watching for the trademark cringe with it in this series, and he's been OK all of the way through. 😁
Gawin may have been the proper cure. . . 🥰😝🥰

At least this one didn't end with white suits, a speedboat and a cello. . . 😨 🤣
I'll take Chiang Mai over Geneva any day. 🛵🎻

We made it through all 12 episodes, but I came away with a rare perspective on it. 🤔
Usually, for a struggling series, I make a wish for a redemption arc in the story to cleanse the wounds a little bit. 😁😃😁😄😃

This time, I wished for the redemption arc for all of us who watched the finale. . . 🤕

As long as over half of the shows being put out lately have some saving grace to them, we're still doing all right. . .although we may be tipping towards 60% this year. 😬

I love when you find treats like this for us. 🥰
It's a great way to start the week. 😁

There's nothing like having someone we've been watching all summer suddenly switch over to perfect English for us. 💖
Going through school in the US worked out tremendously here. 😆

It was actually ironic that they ended the last scene having Tien display the exact same look of confusion and bewilderment that the rest of us had watching it. . . 😧
🤣🤣🤣

That one, too ? 😑
It was a green light up until early this year. 🫤
Contracts, schedules, money and trends. . .they get a conflict with one and everything stops. . . 🎥

The anxiety slowly creeps in after this finale. . . 😨

The powers that be hinted strongly at a need for a Season 2 of 'Step By Step' to fill in the blanks. . . .
. . .and I feel like I was seeing it here, too, with 'La Pluie'. . . 🫤

Please, please, PLEASE. . .let's not see the same course of action from when we ended 'My Engineer' with a . . ."to be continued". . . 😫
We've gone through COVID and three years of waiting, and we are still left with four cliffhangers that have never been resolved.

* inserts 'Justice For Ram-King' * 🥷🏽🥷🏽🔥🎥🔥🥷🏽🥷🏽
😆

I have it right now and I'm using it while I'm at the 'Olive Garden'. 🔮
I keep turning it back three hours so I can continue to get the endless salad and breadsticks. 🤣
🥗🥗🥗🥗🥖🥖🥖🥖

After eight episodes, I continue to be astonished by what this series is giving for quality every single week. 🥰
I wasn't expecting, early on in the first few episodes, that I'd find myself here now trying to answer the question :

"When was the last time I watched 8 episodes of any series and didn't hit the 2X button one single time?"

At this point, Kawi could scream for cake (and get himself lost in the woods) for the next four episodes, and this story would still be more redeeming than most I've seen in a while. 😆
😫🍰😫🌳🌲🌳🧎🏽‍♂️🌳

For Episode #8, I'm also wondering if everything seemed perfect. . .because Not was nowhere to be found in any of the scenes? 😈

Now that I'm emotionally attached to all of the characters and hanging onto the next surprises in the story, I am now part of the legion of viewers that is counting down the 6 days, 10 hours and 15 minutes until Episode #9. ⏳😨⏳
That hasn't happened in a while, either. 🥰
