I love Third. He's adorable. The cool façade versus how tender, thoughtful, and funny he actually is behind the mask... Also - the tone, the aegyo! He's absolutely perfect IMO.

I think either Nine/Juno caused Thee's accident while feuding too hard OR that Third's horrid mom did something to get Thee out of the way so ThirdNine could become the mains... :/

I agree. I don't like Nine at all, but North makes him worse by constantly saying things he shouldn't when he knows how insecure he is.

Ah, I get it, you were talking about his face resembling Teetee's? I thought it was about similar characters XD

Vann in 4 with Rakkhun or Phatee dancing in 5?

I didn't expect ano and Yoshiki to show up in the last episode~

I really don't like the editing in this - not a fan of the pity votes and sulking, either.

Young and Elio are the ones keeping me watching ATM, since it seems like they're the only ones communicating with each other about things that aren't _just_ the current challenge. Alan and Joel are doing okay, too - their personalities seem grounded. I feel like Waner needs more screen time, he seems to be somewhat left out... Oh, and both Tyler and CH annoy me for different reasons.

I'm not into the plots involving the sergeant and his daughter. It's not my kind of humor and I feel like a lot of it doesn't fit with the rest of the show. Oh well...

Over half the show has gone by and they're still introducing new characters - and a secondary couple, though the characters haven't even met. Do you think they'll have enough time to cover everything without rushing? I haven't read the book.

I like Lom. I hope she adopts that cat (and is more careful in the future.)

Nine o próprio coitadinho da coitadolândia, só se faz de vítima tem 10 anos e o Third deixa D:

I understand why North was so pissed off, and honestly, same; that scene in the apartment made me like him even less, though.

IMO, trauma is an explanation for Nine's behavior, not something that excuses his shittiness. People can't just be "someone bullied me, so I became a bully. it's justified!" and think it's fine to rely on that forever. He needs to work on himself so he stops exploding every time he feels threatened, or he'll be his own downfall. :P I want to know what this trauma is - something that happened early in his life, if he was already acting out in high school...

Btw, the test thing Nine did? Disgusting. What an overly competitive, HORRIBLE friend he is. I guess Third thought he owed him if he was willing to take that loss and protect him... I guess his mom really would make sure he got the scholarship, so Nine, as usual, acted out horrendously, but Third still felt guilty enough to delete the security footage since he knew it was true... And now he even deleted the pool video (supposedly - I'm not that sure myself. Misleading scenes and actors misdirecting the fans are both common, so it wouldn't be surprising). Third should've told Nine he'd hold on to it and use it if he didn't behave during the filming of this series, and finally stop letting Nine hold his mother's messy, privileged behaviour over his head. Hopefully, though, Third really means it and will bring Nine down in any way he can if he doesn't stop.

(I don't really care if he doesn't have the video anymore since Renji does, and I doubt North will be able to get him to delete it. If Renji's as smart as he seems, he'll have backups in the cloud or something. )

Anyway, I heart RenjiTime. They're chaos goblins, and I have no idea what Renji wants other than to torment North (and it can't just be that, right?), but their filming scene was adorable, and they're sure helping the plot move forward! Their part is actually something I'm invested in, and I can't say the same about the company founders' beef (yet) or about the makeup artists' feud - speaking of which, I hope they all get fired if they keep that shit up in front of everyone else. @_@ Ridiculously unprofessional.

Agreed @_@ Is the cut version even out anywhere rn? I don't think it needs a page lol

I first saw him in The Next Prince! I don't know if I wanna watch Fool in Love yet, but good to know.
I'll keep my eye on him just in case (doesn't hurt that he's handsome...)

I think it's too obvious. He was the first one to have a clear problem with Anda and he confronted him in front of his friends + the thing at the funeral.

Isn't the white-haired dude who pulled James off from Kum one of the villains in Payback?? Kongkiat, I believe. What is he doing playing such a random part here? Are we supposed to notice him and suspect him, like in those US procedural shows where the more well-known guest star is inevitably the killer in the episode they show up?!

I feel like this episode was better than the previous one. People actually had feelings about Anda's death this time around! But I still hate that they only now talked about the cause of death though there's already been a funeral...

Jinna is Thup and Khemjira's third coven member. A_A

I think one of Anda's parents threatened/bribed/blackmailed/convinced/wtv Kum to break up with Anda that morning, and that's why he doesn't want to tell the cops where he was - he's ashamed he did what they wanted and blaming himself for Anda's death. He could have been threatened/bribed/etc by Anda's company or even James instead, since the effect on him would be pretty much the same.

IMO, it doesn't make much sense for the killer to be either Art or Tod, since they started talking about it being a murder spontaneously - sure, the guilty party could have just tried to come out with the murder theory before other people pointed that possibility out just so they'd look more innocent, in a double bluff, but I don't think it's likely that early. I don't think it's any of the young women in the show, either... There hasn't been enough focus on any of them but Bumm, and she's already getting more than enough hate without killing anyone. :P I'm also assuming this is no Ackroyd and Jinna/Pod didn't kill him since they're the detectives!

The brother, Itti, is certainly suspicious, and though we know a couple of things he told the other cop are true (like that his mom warned Anda against sleeping in the car), other things haven't been proven yet (such as their talk at the restaurant where Anda was "acting totally normal".) I'd hate it if it were the dad, but it's a possibility, still, since he's homophobic, ashamed, and that might be motive; the mom also might have done it by accident or because of the father somehow. I find the thought depressing, and thus likely --- but there's no evidence other than how she keeps lashing out at people for being horrible fathers and brothers, which feels like projection as well as _facts_.

Anyway, all three of them could've had motive and ample opportunity, but I'm focusing on the brother RN. Why is Itti in such a hurry to have the body cremated? Did he drug Anda with something other than his usual sleeping pills? He's also kind of shoving himself into the case despite being to close to it, which isn't advisable, and acting like potential persons of interest (the whole friend group) are irrelevant, which only a guilty party would know for sure.

Other than that, there's basically only three suspects - Kum, the very obvious ex who isn't even on my list because of how boring and common that would be; James, the even more obvious acting partner who'd be disappointing as he's the only outrightly aggressive person we've seen at this point other than the dad; and Dunk. He's... there. Any possible motive he could have eludes me rn, though, and I don't know if he'd have had the opportunity since he was neither from Anda's friend circle nor his fan.

Oh, and I do remember the poor dirty teddy bear, but I think that incident might be separate from this whole thing. Hopefully we'll know more soon.

Van promising Rakkhun wouldn't get his heart broken without telling him about the deal could've ended really badly. If Kan broke the kid's heart, the ghost would come for Van immediately; then what? And if Van and Rakkhun got together for real before Van left, but Rakkhun ended things with him and eventually dated someone else who broke his heart, Van would get killed, and Rakkhun would go back to being haunted... ? :X ANYWAY. Ghost-girl overreacted to their momentary separation, but we get it because of her traumatic past.

Btw, I liked Rakkhun's character more than I expected.

Now that the first story is over, I've tempered my expectations and won't overthink the plot and tone anymore.

Ji and Chita both died. Ji convinced Chita to kill them both. :/

Two central characters died. :(

I really liked the first episode (it was silly and cute, and I need to distract myself), but I'm truly scared that it might have a sad ending. A sick female lead is rarely a good sign... D:

They are from their instas, yeah.

I dunno. I just don't think it was happy, just... bittersweet.
