I was close to dropping this series but somehow it kept pulling me back. I am glad I stuck with it. Great to see…
So funny seeing Chol get pushy and coming between Prab and Nick. It was starting to get annoying when it was just Prab doing it with Chol + Khun or Chol + Sam. "I told you to teach me, now teach!" 5555 Poor Nick. I'm starting to feel bad for him.
I like how they resolved the family drama with Chol's dad and his marriage to Chol's mom in a way that made sense and didn't make anybody the bad guy.
I'm confused. Either Maping was lying when he said in an earlier episode he had to get into medical school so he can make money to help out his family and can't afford private lessons with teacher Mhok (giving the impression that his family is poor) or they did a retcon to explain why he was putting so much pressure on himself to get into med school when his real passion is Botany. I don't mind either way. His story is more interesting with his family being all doctors and his mom calling his interest with plants a silly hobby. Again introducing more drama to resolve before the series ends but whatever.

Not liking the pacing. None of the relationships have progressed very far and with 2 episodes to go they drop all this heavy family drama. How will they resolve all of these things without rushing? Are they planning a season 2?
They are not related by blood or marriage. It's common in some cultures to call your elders not related to you auntie or uncle out of respect and to show affection. At best Gene and Sib would be godbrothers as Auntie Orn (Sib's mom) seems to be like a godmother figure to Gene and a close family friend.
He was falling falling in love with someone who he thought felt the same way only to discover that this person…
Of course it's relevant. It goes to credibility. If Sib has been lying (by omission) about something this huge, Gene has to start doubting if he's being honest about his feelings for him as well. They are not separate things at all. It's all about trust. Does this person really like me or are they playing me for a fool?
It's awesome that you guys would be so rational and mature in this situation but a lot of otherwise rational and mature people would have an emotional breakdown when faced with heartbreak and betrayal.
He was falling falling in love with someone who he thought felt the same way only to discover that this person…
He's probably had a crush on Gene since they were kids while Gene probably only saw him as his nong (little brother). Hint :when Nubsib told gene he has never seen him as a P'(big brother) but more, he was telling the truth even if Gene didn't know what he meant at the time. He maybe thought this was his only chance to win Gene's heart. If Gene knew who he was from the get go he would looked at him as a nong and nothing more.
Episode 6. Why did Gene react that way? Because...
He was falling falling in love with someone who he thought felt the same way only to discover that this person was lying to him the whole time. This is probably the first time he's felt this way about someone and now it feels like some elaborate practical joke. And the jokes on him. What makes it worse is that this is someone he really cared about in the past too and this person has used that connection to play him for a fool. He's not overreacting. He's really hurt.
I started this series knowing that it ended abruptly because of Chinese government clampdown but binged it anyway. I regret nothing! It's an amazing series! It is such a pity it did not continue but it was well worth the watch.
With all the build up I came into this series with very high expectations. Super happy that so far (ep 4) I have not been disappointed one bit. It's very entertaining and I am loving it. They had me at, "This is sexual harassment! Woooooooooooooow!"
I love the acting. Great cast all around. The chemistry is great. I love that all the characters have some depth. Even the ones that are setting up to be the villains, we are seeing a glimpse into their backstory and why they do the things they do, I am already feeling a little sympathetic .This might change. The writing is very good. Yes, from the 1st teaser we knew where the story was going but the journey is so well laid out. They subtly address issues in LGBTQ community and BL industry in a way that makes the point but isn't too preachy either. Fantastic use of satire.
The sound effects are so extra but I love that too. My main concern now is with the pacing. It is very good so far. So much has happened in first 4 eps and we are only a 3rd of the way through. I really hope they don't start dragging out the episodes or give us a rushed ending.
I am so confused and excited at the same time. Somebody has a lot of explaining to do but I don't know if I'm…
The slap was 5 years in the future at the end of episode 6 but at the end of the special he returns to Taiwan after staying 2 years abroad. What happened in the intervening 3 years since he got back?
