Ok let's give this one a go BL lovers! Any initial thoughts?
'Ghost Doctor' did their spin last year on the basic plot we'll have here. . .and it worked out great. ๐ฅฐ I'm eager to see Episode #1 and see what kind of subtleties Thailand puts on this storyline. ๐ Also, since 'Ghost Doctor' was a professional partnership, I'd like to see how this series adds some romance to the mix and makes it their own. ๐ฆ๐ฝ๐๐ฆ๐ฝ
Hey Hia - ๐ง๐๐ฅฆYour patience with the BL 'powers-that-be' have reached new levels. ๐You've gotten us…
I can cater everything except for the croissants. . . ๐คฃ๐ฅ๐คฃ I'll get sued by the production team at 'Home School' if I try to bring so much as one croissant in here. ๐ฅท๐ฝ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐ฉ๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐จ๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐ฅ๐ฅท๐ฝ
I need your academic know-how as a 'Professor Emeritus of BL' to guide me out of #11. ๐จ I'm OK with time-skips in these shows. . .but in here I had issues. . .๐ซค
The strained and exaggerated facial expressions worked great in 'Kieta Hatsukoi', but in here they don't. . . ๐ซค
We're going to need you to manifest the 'Sunshine Wrapped in a Rainbow' for Episode #12 to redeem all of us for watching this faithfully since April. ๐๐
Jaab searching desperately for that peach flavored Lively+ product is me desperately searching for my patience.…
Hey Hia - ๐ง๐๐ฅฆ
Your patience with the BL 'powers-that-be' have reached new levels. ๐ You've gotten us safely through another Zaddy Tuesday and these past 11 weeks, with one to go. ๐ฅต Maybe. . .Episode #12 will be all beaches, showers, towels, and unbuttoned shirts. . .๐ซค
There is one noteworthy saving grace for Pat, though. ๐ฃ *my apologies for the constipated-face emoji* Up until now, he hasn't screamed for cake. ๐ฐ๐ซ๐ฐ He has managed to drop one on the floor while Daddy Jeng was taking Pat's tonsils out, though. ๐คฃ
How are you holding up after this latest serving of Family Business Ethics 101. . .? ๐ฌ
I did a rewatch of this first episode to see how easily I can brush away the similarities to 'Love Stage', and I found myself liking this storyline a lot more. ๐ฅฐ I try to keep an open mind for the first 3-4 episodes anyway, and I've been eager to see Ja & First's talents brought out even more than they were in 'Remember Me'. ๐ฆ๐ฝ ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฝ
I don't mind at all if this one leans towards light comedy and doesn't take itself too seriously, and I've prepared myself for the possible bruise on the jaw (and always on the lower right), a hang-over sponge bath, and one of them getting lost in the woods in Episode #6, so I'm good there, too. ๐คฃ
The only red flags I'm still looking to get past going into Episode #2 are : ๐ฌ
๐ How often we see these two agents scream and scheme against each other. . .๐ฉ ๐ Whether Punn's brother needs to be put in the trunk of a car and dropped off in Cambodia. . . ๐ Whether Title is going to introduce the angst, tension and heartbreak along the way. . .๐ฉ
Aside from those, I'm eager to see whatever is next from these characters. First is not Fiat anymore, and Ja isn't wearing the famous 'Until We Meet Again' wig, so it's all good. ๐
I like the premise of a slow-burn buildup in a relationship in these, so my biggest reason for coming back every week might just be to see if a big part of this story is going to be Punn and Ashi's high school experiences. . .(stickers on the book bag included). . . ๐ I'm curious to see if Punn's first encounter. . .
* Hee hee hee. . .I said First encounter * ๐
. . .was very quick like we had in "Our Dining Table". . .or if it was more than a random act of kindness between the two of them. ๐ฆ๐ฝ๐๐ฆ๐ฝ I'm even more curious to know if Ashi remembers Punn, recognizes him, and actually already has feelings for him in the present day.
. . .and to see what our eyes will behold with what they're going to do with Bosston's character. ๐ณ
Yโall. I was confused for a minute. Punnโs entire family went to the same barber so I couldnโt tell who…
Hey Hia - ๐
Let's not forget what happened when Clark Kent took his glasses off. . . ๐ค ๐คฃ I was like, "Wow. . .Bosston didn't do none of that when he had the swim team jacket on. . ." ๐ณ๐ฎ๐จ
I liked this first episode enough to see where our saga takes us. . .but I need to keep reminding myself for now that I didn't just see an episode of 'Love Stage'. ๐ฅฐ This series will find its unique path after a few episodes, but for now, I kept expecting to see Turbo show up in these scenes. ๐
The big jolt for me was. . .after seeing Bosston being shy with glasses and a swim jacket for 12 weeks in 'Between Us'. . .to see him "work the room" at the hotel in this series. . . ๐ณ๐ฌ๐ณ
I'll be here for Episode #2 to see where the story goes. ๐ . . .and to see if they let Ja go through the whole series without a wig. . . ๐ง๐ฝ
It's rare for me to wish for the addition of another side couple, but I totally want to see Max get cuddles by the time we get to Episode #12. ๐๐งธ๐
. . .an added bonus would be for him to find someone with highlighted hair on the right so they can look like perfect bookends. . . ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐๐ฝ
I'm loving every new episode of this series and I'm along with everyone counting down to Friday and #7. โฐ๐ฌโฐ I was apprehensive about the story and the chemistry very early on, but this seems like a whole different ballgame now that we are halfway through. ๐ฅฐ
But. . .I had been doubtful early on with 'I Will Knock You', 'Choco Milk Shake' and 'The Eighth Sense' and was very happy to be wrong every time. ๐
You really embarked on quite the journey today. . . ๐จ๐ฒ Survived the killer Daddy Jeng smiles at the wedding…
The kitchen counter scene was epic. ๐ฅฐ I expected them to be covered in flour when they sat down in the next scene with the cake. ๐ป๐๐ป
We all went through a crash course on this one today. ๐ฅต I'm doing a rewatch again before I go onto anything else.
I hope that the sage and boba did the trick for you and that you have your color back again. ๐ค I'll will admit to having to hit pause and find some fresh air during the kitchen scene. . .when Daddy Jeng started in with the Danish-enhanced English in a quiet deep voice. . .I got goosebumps and serious Santa vibes from last November. ๐ฌ๐ณ๐ฌ
You really embarked on quite the journey today. . . ๐จ๐ฒ Survived the killer Daddy Jeng smiles at the wedding…
Bobas are on the house today. . . ๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง
I may need to rewatch this episode again today. . .for scientific purposes only. ๐จ๐ฝโ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฝโ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฝโ๐ฌ I forgot to mention how well you also survived the piggy-back ride, the tutorial about the screen protector, and the fact that, in just four minutes time. . .Daddy Jeng went from kneading bread on the kitchen counter. . .to kneading Pat on the kitchen counter. ๐๐ฅต๐
Thank you to those who checked in on me. I am still alive and have survived the latest episode of Jengvitis. That…

With the 'Series of the Year' festivities going on last week, it slipped my mind for several days to take note of the fact that Bom is in his very first series here.
'Series of the Year' is certainly not bad for a debut. . . Plus, he can speak English better than I can, and I've been in the US my whole life.
Happy Zaddy Tuesday ! ๐ฅณ Be sure to stay hydrated and eat a big lunch. . .just in case you end up 'shooketh' later on. ๐ฌ . . .loose bath towels included. . . ๐คฃ
There's a surprise coming up here somewhere. . .I wish I could guess what it is. ๐ค
It doesn't seem right for the production team to make Meena's character so unlikeable that she gets branded a home-wrecker in Arthit's relationship or to lack the trust and support to fall into the arms of Than. ๐จ๐ฝ๐ง๐ฝ๐คโค๏ธ๐ฉ๐ฝโค๏ธ๐ค๐ฆ๐ฝ
She's been literally adopted by Arthit and Than's family, but she's dug herself quite deep to make it to next week without some serious tension and angst. ๐ฌ
This is going to be a real mess going into the home stretch, and I can't easily guess who's going to be smiling in Episode #10. . . ๐จ
This whole series was a lot of fun to watch. . .Marrakesh and Naples both. ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฑ๐ I'll gladly watch another season if it comes our way. ๐

I was like, "Wow. . .Bosston didn't do none of that when he had the swim team jacket on. . ." ๐ณ๐ฎ๐จ
I thought about you during this particular episode, and have a question. . . ๐ค
What sort of cardio-vascular event would have been the result had it been Daddy Jeng doing that dance in the shower instead of Punn ? ๐ค
This series will find its unique path after a few episodes, but for now, I kept expecting to see Turbo show up in these scenes. ๐
