People writing novels in the comments, tells you how conflicting this series is. I think as I said before, that although I am not fond of the rape trope in BLs, if done properly I can see value in telling that story. We have seen it done in Heterosexual dramas, so it is only right that we also show that it happens to anyone, no matter their sexual orientation, gender, age etc. I just don't want this to be used a the old trope of getting a "couple" together as that is not realistic nor a healthy message to send.

Oh God! This was so hard to watch. I'm sorry I just don't know...I was crying watching this. I understand why they did it, but it's so difficult to stomach such a scene. I work in the criminal justice field and I get to read stories of people being raped, but to see it depicted is different than reading it because all I do is see the face of the person and how much pain they are in. And this goes beyond just rape, it's also the fact that the pressure of society, the stigmatization of being gay, the idea of having to be "perfect"...how much that can make someone like Keng lose it. I don't excuse what he did, but putting yourself in the shoes of someone going through an obvious mental health breakdown, it's beyond sad for both of them. Literally had tears down my cheeks.

I get what you mean. I am an asexual person and I don't always care for the kissing/make out/sex etc. I can tolerate it, but it's not necessary for me to enjoy a drama. I found Max and Tul to have great chemistry, I just didn't care for their "love scenes" as much as most people do. I thrive when characters actually show love through small gestures, there is some "deep connection" that goes beyond the physical and I think that's why I love hand holding or when someone caresses another person's cheek or neck...LOL...I don't know I just think that sometimes smaller gesture scream move love to me. (PERSONALLY)...

Apparently he lost his parents and his aunt takes care of him, but they don't have a lot of money so he tried to help as best he can, and thinks that not eating equals to not spending money.

I didn't see your comment until now, but you are so right. I made the same observation about how natural the acting with this cast is. As a viewer you kind of feel as though you are in that world they created, which is a sign of a good drama to me. I am looking forward to the rest and hope it continues the way is being acted.

Honestly, this was one of the most natural acting from any of the History Series imo. It felt very nuanced, not forced and the cast played their characters so well. I love every single History story, so I am happy to see that they continue to improve so much. Specially in picking the right actors. All of the ones in this anthology fit their roles so well, even the supporting cast. I was laughing so much and was also feeling protective over Yu Xi-Gu, he's like that kid who always minded his business, but would lend you a hand if needed. So precious!

YESSSS!!!!

There are two endings, one is tragic and the other isn't. So, I guess someone said that the team behind this project went with the happy ending one.

tomorrow!

Well Jennie and Gun were the best characters in this drama FOR ME...So was Mild, but I really loved Jennie and Gun.

The drama was good, could have tackled some plot-holes earlier on, but definitely not a bad drama and they wrapped it up with some twists I kind of saw coming, but I thought those event would have happened earlier on and not in the end.

I am not going to write a review yet, because I want to watch it again as I think there were some things I missed.

Also just saw that he and I share the same birthday (though I could be his mother) :)

This drama looks to be intense. I hope that the subject matter of rape is treated well and not romanticized or glossed over like they tend to do in most Thai BLs. Though I find the subject problematic, there is value is being exposed to it and the ways we can learn to cope or the ways in which people can atone/be punished. Great acting by everyone. I'm used to seeing James as a comedic actors, but he's really good here. Also, is he half white? Not that it matters, but I had to do a double take at times, cause he looked so different. Only way I recognized him was because of his gorgeous eyes.

Mew lost weight. If anyone watched him in WTD, they will notice it more so after the whole drama with his co-star. I don't want to diagnosed anyone I don't know, but he might have been super depressed and stopped eating for some time. He wasn't as "veiny" in WTD first season, but by second season you could see it. He has been gaining some of it back, but not as before. I agree with you that his face and eyes seem a bit different too (again weight loss made him look more gaunt). I hope he is taking care of himself if he is going through something. TAY TAWAN is sexy as hell even though he is slim. (ugg I feel like a pedo-old lady, though he is over 25....I'm still nearly ten years older)

I know why he is doing it, I just have a hard time believing he is capable of taking down a mafia guy or two (or a group) It's not even that I don't like the way his character is,...from working in the criminal justice system in real life, I just don't see how they evolved him so fast into this. Honestly, the drama is good, but there are some plot holes and definitely needs more development for me to believe it. If anything, anyone attempting such a daring thing is beyond reckless because there are many factors that play a part in their revenge, such as nerves, will power to actually hurt someone etc.

I'm feeling the same way

I am not sure how I am feeling about this drama now...lol. I mean, are we to suspend belief and really think that Neo became this out for revenge ninja or something of that nature? LOL like dude went from being scared little mouse running away from mafia men to now hunting down Mafia men who have more years of experience in killing and other underworld things. I don't know I just can't see it.

Lets see how they wrap this one up.

IT was frustrating watching this!! And I mean because of the subs! UGG. I wish I could learn Thai faster so I can enjoy it more. Over all, this seems more like a re-introduction of the main pairing. I guess they might be hinting at an actual Season 3, which I hope is better than 2--that sucked big time. I also would appreciate if they had a better script to work with or at least give nuance to the charters' story, so these kids can develop their acting more. Invest in acting coaches.

I'm still holding out on my theory that Shin isn't what we are led to believe. I don't know something about his character screams "faking it" as in like he is a wolf in sheep's clothing sort of way. I could be wrong, but part of my OCD of dissenting dramas is making my brain tingle LOL.

Ummm....I mean, GMM has stepped up their game for sure when it comes to romance/sex....but...(which I don't really care for that much)....they are falling to the drunk/high trope again to get people to sleep with each other...can they like not have a heart-to-heart and air out their disagreements and see where they are?

Shin always getting left behind LOL...If that doesn't scream "I slept with you, but ain't in love with you" I don't know what does. Seriously, these people are running away form a big mafia boss, but end up in the hands of another mafia boss (which if the cards are played right, Miw and Neo can say it wasn't them who kidnapped Shin) Still this is hella messy, but I'm still interested in what direction this will go. I believe Shin will be the only character who will surprise us in the end.
