adhoc

Also, remember the NC scenes we were told we would see in season 2? Even Mew and Gulf talked about them and told us to watch for those. Well, those scenes were OMITTED when you watched the show. (Or I think in one case, the scene was shortened so you didn't get the full scene, just a little bit.) BUT GUESS HOW YOU CAN SEE THOSE SCENES THAT WERE PROMISED TO VIEWERS? Yep--buy the box set. $$$

no. His brother Thorn's wedding happened. You have to pay if you want to see Tharn/Type's wedding later this month...

Thank you so much for explaining what was on the Tshirts!!

Oh, so that's why it was okay to leave a little early, thank you for that detail.

Very good final episode. This season would have been great as a 3-hour special.
Random thoughts:
*What was written on the T-Shirt that everyone wore at the Buddhist ceremony?
* I liked the Buddhist ordination ceremony. So nice that Type's childhood friend Khom was there.
* Champ and Doc did a nice job in their scene, and I liked the writing. I wish we had seen more of their relationship development.
* I enjoyed the scenes with Thanya and Type's dad. All's well that ends well.
* Happy I never have to see that hideous clothing line again. A lot of the shirts actually were distracting this season.
* Blue themed wedding? Kind of weird.
* Advertisement for Episode 13 at the end? Way to keep it klassy.
* Song subtitles overwrite the spoken dialogue. We can just guess what T/T said to each other....
*Type was allowed to leave the monastery 1 week earlier than planned?

That's a wrap.

Next Chapter was kind of a downer. TWM, though, is worth watching. Two childhood friends (played by Max and Tul) are reunited in college. But one of them has a recently acquired girlfriend. Will he stay with the girlfriend or will he give in to his attraction to his childhood friend? Ahhh..,,

Wait, you've never seen Together with Me? Put it on your to-watch list. (And yes, MoD is great, these last couple of episodes have it all: action, suspense, romance!)

Thank you very much!

Oh, so what did the subs say?

Exactly, the whole convo between Leo and Fiat, after the other guys leave and the blind fold comes off. I have no idea what they said to each other, but I assume it was about how they feel about each other. I guess Production doesn't think it's a big deal that we understand what they are saying.

Random thoughts:
1, Tharn accusing Type of sleeping with Fiat. Officially the stupidest plot point / dialogue ever.
-- Fiat forces a kiss on Type outside the hospital. Tharn sees the kiss but somehow doesn't see Type jump back or hear Type yell "What the hell are you doing".
-- Tharn has completely forgotten that he was once caught in a hotel room with Tar and that things are not always the way they seem.
-- Later, Phu confirms "Type was too sick. Nothing happened." Tharn is basically like "I'm too busy wallowing in my sadness to listen to what you're saying."

2. TTTS1 - Type is quite shrewd and crafts a plan to expose Lhong. TTTS2 - Type never notices what Fiat is doing and keeps spending time with him instead of drawing boundaries.
3. Worst camera work I've seen in a while.
4. I would certainly break up with my faen if I came home and found a strange pen.
5. Techno used to be funny, didn't he?
6. The Cir/Phugun Cocoa scene. Why?
7. I wondered who the guy was who lured Fiat away at that bar. It was Cir! I've seen him so little this season, I didn't recognize it was him.
8. Based on what we see in episode 10, I'm convinced that any one of us could probably have written the character of Fiat better. Made him more interesting and complex than the Fiat we got.

Also, could some Thai speaker please tell us what Leo and Fiat said to each other, after Type and Champ left, and Leo took off Fiat's blindfold? Thank you very much.

The subtitles on LineTV displayed music lyrics instead of dialogue when Leo and Fiat were (I guess) admitting how they felt about each other. I tried setting the subtitles differently, but I still could not see the dialogue.

Please, no! Just be nice co-workers who get along.

After the end credits roll for ep 9, and the nurses are messaging each other, we find out why Type's boss hated Type. (I have to think the translation of this must be wrong, though. Maybe someone here who reads Thai can confirm.)

Now, hang on. When Type was shooting pool with Techno early in the season, he clearly stated that it was not his fault that the boss could not hang onto his woman (who was a nurse at the hospital where Type worked and who was trying to flirt with Type), so why should the boss blame Type?

But then later, Type said he could not figure out why his boss was treating him so bad. So I thought there must be something else.

And now I'm completely confused. Could we have at least some shred of continuity in this show?

Yep. That was a big deal with Techno and Champ, wasn't it?

"It's over, Type. It's OVER!"

Ironically, Tharn of all people should totally realize that things are not always as they seem. Doesn't he remember being caught in a hotel room with Tar?

I have to think that the book makes more sense than the TV show. Like, maybe in the book there is actual context, and character inner dialogs, that makes some things make more sense.

"and go on a break for such a small thing that could've been resolved with talking"

But...but... it was a pen! A PEN! Wouldn't you break up with your faen over a suspicious pen?

lolol, whew, this plot

Initially, I thought the actor playing Leo was good, but his (and First's) performance in this episode left me scratching my head. And then there was that crying scene. Hmm, where have I seen that before....Oh, yes, TTTS1. Only in TTTS1, I felt it. It moved me.

Oh, I forgot to mention how much I cringed in the Seo/Khlui scene. I was embarrassed for those actors.

So let me see: Phu got sidetracked and didn't mention to Cir what he encountered in Tharn's home while Type was sleeping. Phu might be dim, but seriously, he didn't see a red flag? Great screenwriting, there.

I just found the plot points and the acting in this episode to be completely forgettable. (Gulf and Mew remain the best actors, though Mew has very little to work with compared to Gulf.)

I was especially disappointed by the lack of real passion between Leo (who's supposed to be furious and frustrated) and Fiat. Seriously, their physical interactions were lackluster, given the things they were saying and the way they were supposed to be feeling.

I just need to slog my way through the remaining episodes, so I can say I watched the whole thing. But the script--ay ay ay

Normally I would agree with you. But they themselves encouraged fans to get invested in the ship and the fantasy. They benefited with increased popularity, lots of commercial endorsements as M/G, etc. They did not have to encourage young fans to believe they were a real couple.

Want to wind down the ship? Fine. Do it in a manner that is as kind and respectful as possible to the thousands of fans who invested time, energy, and money in the fantasy that you promoted. And do it in a manner that is respectful of the show, which is still airing, and of the sponsor (Hira Blue). M/G are still finishing up their endorsements, maybe be respectful of those clients as well.

But no, one of the actors simply ghosted the ship unexpectedly, without a backward glance. AFAIC, he gave the finger to those who helped boost his popularity this year--fans, acting partner, the show itself, the sponsors and clients.

So I disagree with your viewpoint. In this case, they do owe a certain level of respect, accountability, and gratitude to fans. And only one of them seems aware of this.
