"He never shied away from being gay nor hid his feelings for Kawi. "
Nah ... that's not true. In the very first timeline he wanted to marry Pear despite being gay. He said to Kawi in the future, that Kawi was helping him with something very important. He meant his coming out, and that Kawi listened to his love confession, even though he rejected him back then. That helped Pisaeng accept himself and his sexuality. Max also had an important role in his coming out.
And in the future, Pisaeng was constantly around Kawi despite Kawi being with Pear. Since the press asked Kawi about his relationship with his male friend, we can assume, that Pear too knew it or had her suspicions. So ... just saying. They were all caught up in that love triangle, but it was very toxic, and everyone was at fault.
That Pear didn't run to Knot this time shows us, that she wasn't that hurt like she was in the future. So both Kawi and Pisaeng hurt her. At this point though, her feelings for Kawi aren't that strong, and she went to Pisaeng first, her friend, she trusts and she cares for. I'm pretty sure in the future she didn't go to her good friend after she separated from Kawi, if you know what I mean. The look on her face, when she left Kawi and Pisaeng was suddenly coming through the door, said it all.

Lol, I'm late to the party. When do you all get up? It's around 8am where I live ...
So many new comments to read .... ahhhhhh

I think nobody expected that they click so well in real life.

I went back to rewatch Sotus and was blown away by the production quality and acting since it aired in 2016. I really suggest people watch it again, and if only the first couple episodes, just to see how good this is and was.
Regarding the chemistry: I too felt he didn't have much chemistry with Singto, but then again, that ship is still sailing. How is that possible if he isn't doing a good job? KristSingto in Sotus - that's something every BL fan knows, I assume. The writing and acting in the series was more than convincing to make it work.
People were just skeptical, because they think they know it all.
I personally never thought he would do BL again, because of the rumors of him not liking it and since it's a while that he was in a series etc. But I never thought he couldn't pull it off.
And Gawin was always doing a decent job, nothing mind-blowing, but he understood the assignment.
Again, some people just think to know it all. It never happened to me that I saw two talented actors and immediately thought: nah, that's not working, no chemistry etc.
That GMMTV is casting friends as couples isn't even a good idea, if you ask me. Actors should be able to establish some good chemistry with everyone. It's called "acting".

Same. I wonder what they will do in the next episode when they have a bed scene. Fingers crossed!
I too was hoping for a different dynamic between the characters, especially since Kawi is basically 30 years old and lived 2 times through his 20s, lol.

I watched the BTS of ep 6, and it seemed to me that the original idea was Pisaeng kissing Kawi first. I'm glad they changed that, so that Kawi was the one "attacking" Pisaeng. Same in the future. That really helps the plot, otherwise it would be even more strange if Pisaeng had been the one to initiate their kisses, and now Kawi behaves like a shy school girl.

Lol, what a friendly roast

Makes me think what actors have to do, if they like it or not.
I never rode such a thing. I'm scared to death.

I was disappointed too, but I guess we have to live with it. GMMTV thinks this is cute and fun, otherwise they wouldn't do it.
In Piseang's place it would make me feel very insecure if the guy I like doesn't want to be kissed or touched, especially when said guy is more into women, lol. Kawi is very serious about Pisaeng, I know, but in this particular situation where Kawi's sexuality is still a mystery it's not the best writing choice to make him behave like this.
But then again, it's GMMTV ... it's their thing ...

You laughed? Why? Honest question.
I know people hate on Krist, but he did well in Sotus, and he became part of one of the most famous BL ships. That doesn't happen without a good reason. Actors who make it that big always have some talent or outstanding charisma.
Also many love Gawin, and he too did well in previous works. I was not that convinced by his acting or roles, but I never thought he was bad.
So acting-wise or regarding their professionality there was no reason to think this wouldn't work.

Which is a shame, because the series was incredible.

And for so long! I mean the timeline Kawi is jumping around here it's about 10 years.

True! Those smiles were so genuine! 🥰

They are clearly friends with benefits, but it took me by surprise. I didn't expect them to be in this kind of relationship so early on.

When the series started, everyone was praising the actress, I didn't like her that much. The character was constantly smiling and she seemed very stiff.
But now I see it too ... Great actress, lots of charisma, very pretty. I really like her. Very well written female role in a BL.

I was fine with it in this episode. Still cute.
If they do it once more, I will take a deep breath. The 4th time ... I will pull my hair out ...

They are not only talking about it, the writers make an effort to show it to us. There were many scene where it looked like Kawi is leading now, for example when he was looking after drunk Pisaeng, when he was lecturing him about being equal and refused that he bought him a new phone etc. Pisaeng was constantly looking like a lost kitten! But then in the last scene on the balcony, it was Pisaeng who had some calming words for Kawi since he was so stressed out about the future.

Who says that?

For me it's obvious that he loves Pear, not as much as Pisaeng, and we already saw that it won't work out with Pear, but he cares for her deeply. Seeing how she ended up with a guy like Knot, who cheated on her, was hard for him. Now he fears she will - again - not getting her happy end and suffer.

I honestly thought that was some brilliant writing, because I could feel through the screen how worried he was about her.

I don't remember, but I think she meant, that Kawi was the first one who spend the night in his apartment.

"I think you're just biased when it comes to writers."
I am indeed. I will admit it 😂
But seriously, I don't care that much for the character, but I like seeing him on screen, and he doesn't make my blood boil at all.
Still I wonder if Kwan will get her happy end.
