I've just seen a tweet that completely blew my mind. A guy deciphered the hidden meaning behind Ken's death attempts in the first episode, and the director replied, confirming what he said. (the following is Google translate from a Thai tweet) 1821: An era of numerous declarations of independence worldwide. If you look at art from that period, you'll find many paintings depicting war, declarations of independence, and destruction. >> Chose to die by being burned.
1837: One of the most liberal periods for private shipping in Siam. We began building Western-style commercial fleets. Many goods were no longer monopolized by the royal treasury. This was a time of rapid growth in Siamese naval engineering. >> Chose to die by jumping from a junk ship into the sea.
1914: World War I began. It started with a single bullet that ended the life of Archduke Francis Ferdinand. >> Chose to die by shooting himself.
1987: The era of pop culture and one of the periods of greatest economic growth in Thailand. It was a flourishing era for music. Many legendary artists and songs were born around the world during that era. >> Choosing to die in a bar by picking a fight with a drunkard.
1998, the Tom Yum Kung crisis >> Choosing to die by jumping from the Sathorn Unique Building.
Why did the man have to stop the kiss? It was my reward after watching those two fragments of AI (I hate it so much). Also, what kind of ending was that? Who edited today's episode? They enter the room and then the credits roll?
the AI thing is pretty awful but how about the "Hong Kong, cHiNa" subtitles every minute? not very subtle…
HAHAHHAHAHAHA It is not the first C-drama that has had to address it this way. (example. The First Frost is quite popular, and you could see in certain episodes a lot of subtitles saying Hong Kong, China). Also, this week the production team had to post an apology because of a reaction video to an episode where some of the actors made a comment regarding Hong Kong, China (hahahhaha sorry I had to do it). Nowadays, the political issues and relationships between those two places are quite interesting.
The thing is, the preview that is already out is for the third episode. The third episode was dropped yesterday for VIP access; therefore, standard users have to wait until September 2nd for the third episode. That is why, even though the third episode is already out for some people, those who do not have VIP access are still waiting for it. Consequently, we won't get the preview for the fourth episode until next Wednesday. This is typical for WeTV series with VIP access, just like what happened when Top Form aired.
I love the dynamics so much and how both relationships are developing (James and Ken, Chita and Dr. Ji). They are two different tropes, but I feel like they somehow fit well into this plot. I have missed crime plots in Thai BLs.
It was a flashback,we saw him entering and getting out,they omitted the getting out part a bit to show the actual…
I messed up! When I posted yesterday's comment, it was late at night, I was sleepy, and I didn't closely watch who was there at the beginning of those suicide attempts. After rewatching the beginning, I realized my mistake. Thanks again for your reply! :)

First of all, thanks for answering 💜 I never said it was an inconsistency; I just think it's too early. Although I am asking because maybe I missed something, I still think it's too early to understand the complete plot.
I understand your point, but it isn't the first time the narrative shows a specific scene and suddenly cuts away, leaving the spectator clueless and not resolving the issue until episodes later.
Good start! I was excited and expecting this. After seeing that Sammon had also taken part in it, my expectations were high, I'm not going to lie. I must admit that the use of AI puts me off a little bit (I guess I'll have to get used to it, since more and more series are starting to use it), but so far, I am still engaged in the plot. The acting isn't bad either; it's decent, not like other BLs that are so cringe to watch. I am pretty excited to see how it continues.
I have just finished the novel and, aaaaaaaaa , I am so ready for this adaptation! Since the trailer dropped, I have been obsessed, so I knew I had to read the novel. It's my second Shui Qian Cheng novel and, as always, she delivers. I hope they don't change the plot too much. I am so thrilled and eager to see this series. I haven't watched anything with the main actors yet, but I think their performances are going to be amazing. I am so ready for this toxic trip we're about to start!
I was thinking the same, because breaking a contract usually doesn't lead to such extremes. And seriously, putting…
I don't understand what you mean by 'where are you coming from'... But anyway, I haven't read the novel, but I think that, more or less, the author did this to Jet and Little Jane because she was trying to create that kind of situation and break the little peace that they might have had after reconciliation. The scenario is weird, but I see their point and what they are trying to aim for. My interaction with this comment is simply because I am interested in the Thailand legal system. This thing doesn't affect how I watch or think about the series

(I don't mean to sound rude or condescending) Yeah, I know. I have been a K-pop fan for more than a decade and, sadly, I know how the industry works. 🥲 But, as the commenter asked, I didn't know that you could go to jail in Thailand for a breach of contract. Normally, you cannot go to jail simply for owing money or being unable to pay standard consumer debts like credit cards, personal loans, or medical bills. Jail only becomes possible if a crime is involved. That's why I said that, regardless of being morally or ethically disapproved of, you also can't go to jail if you have multiple affairs or commit adultery. That's why I asked. I don't know how the legal system works in Thailand, and I find it interesting (since I have studied law).
