What an intense episode, kept me on my toes the entire time.
I'm sorry, but I don't think Third did the right thing, the first time or now. This is my personal opinion. Nine tried to kill Wan. We're not talking about something trivial here. The series can continue without Nine, so I don't get the excuse about there being too many people involved. Actors, even main ones, can be replaced. Also, I need a very good explanation about why Third would agree to act in a BL with Nine as his partner after what he did to him, no matter what his management wants.
Nine is the worst kind of self-centered, self-absorbed asshole who doesn't love anyone, but uses everyone around him for his aims and refuses to take any responsibility for his actions. He needs to be exposed, because he will never stop. If Third won't do it, then I want Wan to be the one, even though I'm afraid, considering his character, that I'll be hoping in vain.
I'm not sure that even Wan, who always sees the good in people, would be understanding if he finds out about what Third did, especially considering the state of their relationship now.
An absolute perfect TEN for me. GMMTV has come out with GEMS this year. When Oranges Fall will stay with me for…
I absolutely agree that so far, When Oranges Fall and Match Point (both high school series, BTW) are the best BLs GMMTV has released this year. Judging on the pilots and the trailers alone, I would've never guessed that, so giving a series a chance is always a good thing.
Are we supposed to feel sorry for Nine, because I certainly despise him even more. Instead of deciding not to be like the people who talked down on him and humiliated him, he grew to be worse than them and tried to drown an innocent person and humiliated a faithful fan. I'm going to enjoy his downfall to the fullest.
The ending, OMG, I certainly didn't expect Renji/Time to be a secret couple, but I'm taking it, it will be very entertaining. They will definitely be involved in bringing Nine down. But Wan has to be involved, too, please. I get that he's a nice person who would never harm anyone, but it would be very disappointing if he lets all of it slide.
I think I rewatched the confession scene 4 times already and this is saying everything. Gorgeous setting, gorgeous couple, I was grinning ear to ear.
I'm hoping and praying the series is successful, especially where is matters (Thailand), so AuauSave will get another series as mains. They are by far, very far, my favourite Domundi fixed couple.
According to the new schedule, we'll be getting all episodes starting from tomorrow 15 minutes earlier. It's still on air last from all the BLs airing on Saturday.
They have a public viewing for episode 6, which is done only for key episodes, so I expect a lot.
Let's see. Before Rin appeared, Khobfa was avoided by everyone, had no friends, people insulted him openly and called him a jinx. Rin "cursing" him made his life better, not worse. How is Rin the one responsible?
If he forgets Rin, he will just return to being all alone and disliked. How is that a good thing?
Today's episode was pure ragebait for me. I really, really, really hate it here.
I don't know what those writers were thinking (or drinking) when they wrote Krit and Mochi, but they clearly were not in their right minds. Just when one of them seems to subdue a little, the other one explodes with malice. I hate, hate, hate them with the bottom of my heart. They are so horrible, especially when standing to such a pure character like Khobfa, that I'm at loss of words. Thanks God there's just one episode left for the writers to make them worse and let them get away with it while Rin is suffering.
Rin, you're not a bad person. You did your best. Unfortunately, the narrative refuses to acknowledge who the bad people really are.
Can you give an example of where he behaved childishly?
If you're still on episode 3, I can just advise you to watch 4 and 5, you will see Wan's attitude shifting, especially towards Nine. Spoiler: by episode 5 he's definitely not coming across as adoring, childish or cute towards Nine, but as someone who is genuinely afraid of him, for a good reason.
- I feel really bad for Time, he just wants to have fans like everyone else and feel included in interviews and…
You're not. Third and Renji were obviously both fighting for Wan's attention among all drama, Renji a little more subtle than Third but still noticeable. The final fight for the cloths could be taken as symbolic about who is going to win. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but the way Renji said they were the last ones standing and the way Third snatched the cloth from Renji felt like it. There was also the scene after the fans were greeting Wan and he was telling Renji he was on cloud nine about it and smiling at him. Third inserted himself between them very quicky and Renji looked like he knew what was going on.
The biggest and best GMMTV surprise show for me, ever. After seeing the pilot, I never imagined it would end up as one of my favourites and yet here we are. I loved this from the beginning to the end.
Sun and Bay were glowing when they were together, they were so in sync. I was a fan of Ping's previous pairing with Mean, but TeshowPing together are on another level.
It was very satisfying that someone got to punch Bee, even if I wish it had been someone from his family. It was so deserved.
I'm feeling so sad for my baby Wan ,He's actually so precious. Everybody else is so diplomatic but Wan is not…
I don't think he can survive there if he doesn't. He either has to leave as quickly as possible, or become like Renji or Third in order to be able to fight off people like Nine. The fireplace scene was a very good indicator of what kind of person you have to be to deal with that environment. Nine's, Renji's, Third's and Time's false smiles were such a contrast to Wan's genuinely confused and bewildered expression. He really looked like he didn't know how the hell he's landed himself into this situation.
I know Nine regrets and wishes he’d tried to drown Renji instead of Wan 😭 he was getting so irritated with…
Yes, truth hurts. I loved Renji so much in this episode, he was sprouting truth after truth, and saying the things I hope Wan will be saying in the future.
Why does it feel like the episodes are only 5 minutes long? :( A very action-packed episode with amazing landscapes and great ThirdWan moments. <3
Renji hates Nine just as much as Third does, he's my hero. From what I see, even Time has seen through Nine already. Wan is getting there, though, the end of the episode cemented that.
That question round was scary, poor Wan looked at the end like someone who'd fallen into a wasps' nest. He still didn't answer Nine's question, though. :) I bet that even he knows already that he likes Third better than Nine. Honestly, the more the series progresses, the more the vibe I get from Wan is that he is getting more and more scared of Nine, which he definitely should be.
I read it ( skimmed) and found it boring. I did not like the novels solution to the overall crisis and found it…
Same here, I was not a big fan of the novel and was wondering, because it was short, how they were going to fill 12 episodes. But they've changed quite a bit, although the main storyline remains the same, so it's good.
Thank you for saying what I couldn't say omgg there are way too many Wan haters for my liking on here, I get he…
Thank you!
I don't get the accusation about him not working on acting enough, too. Yes, the first workshop was a disaster, but that's on his management more than on him. And unless you're a natural, which most people are not, BTW, acting is not just about learning your lines. There are techniques about how to deliver them, how to get into the right mood, how to shake off the nervousness, etc. Wan is surrounded by vultures watching his every step and waiting for him to fail, which makes it worse. He is also playing a character very unlike himself and the acting coach refuses to guide him. So, how exactly is it Wan's fault alone that he is bad at acting? He's supposed to learn it all by himself?
Being nice and sincere is not very popular, I see. Such people need to be protected and not abused.
I see that I, too, have to step in and defend Wan.
The problem is not Wan, no matter what people are saying about him. The problem is that a very nice, naive, genuine and sincere person has ended up in a very toxic environment by accident and doesn't know how to navigate it, and even worse, no one is really going to help him do that.
I like Third very, very much, but if we look deeper, there are two things to be said about him that people might not like - he clearly acts that way towards Wan because he has had a crush on him practically since he saw him and we don't know how he would act if he didn't. I don't think he would act like Nine, but probably more like Renji. The second thing is that he knows very well that Nine hates Wan and what kind of person Nine is and he still is going out of his way to show his preference for Wan in front of Nine, indirectly putting Wan in danger. He cannot be there all the time to protect him and let's be honest, courting your co-worker directly in front of your on-screen partner about whom you know is a horrible person is not a good idea in general. I hope the drowning accident has opened Third's eyes.
Now back to Wan and his issues:
He landed a job because of his looks and accepted it because of money. No one prepared him about what was going to come. His management fights for him, but instead of sending him to acting lessons, they sent him to a shaman for a golden mask. I mean, come on. Even worse, they did nothing to warn him about what kind of people he would have to deal with. A nice, positive and naive person like him takes everything at face value, which makes him easier to bully and abuse which is what most people around him (except Third, who likes him, his management, who need him to make money, and Renji, who just observes but doesn't go deeper than that) are doing. Seriously, I actually wonder how he deals so well with Nine's false niceness, Nine and Third's managers constant abuse and open contempt and his obvious struggles with acting because no one cared to show him how to do it. Maybe people are annoyed with him because he hasn't fought back yet, but I'm sure that it hasn't happened yet exactly because of his personality. I'm sure that with time, he will realise what kind of person Nine is, because he is already seeing and feeling the signs, he is just not ready to accept it yet.
One last thing - normally, co-workers don't try to drown their colleagues. Wan's reaction was not that unusual, and it was not only because it was Nine. Most people, no matter who they are, would not think of an intentional murder immediately, especially if there is no reason to think so. Wan can't be blamed for not believing Third.
I loved how this episode showed Wan struggling to reconcile the images he had of Nine and Third with who they…
Yes, Third is an absolute treasure, because he understands Wan's feelings and does not pressure him, he is just there for him and will give him the time to sort himself out and realize things, which is so unlike what Nine tried to do. Third knows Wan is going to be fair once he gets over his worship for Nine, because from everything we've seen so far, Wan is a very sincere and honest person.
I'm sorry, but I don't think Third did the right thing, the first time or now. This is my personal opinion. Nine tried to kill Wan. We're not talking about something trivial here. The series can continue without Nine, so I don't get the excuse about there being too many people involved. Actors, even main ones, can be replaced.

Rin, I love you, I really do, but I'll never forgive you for bringing those two to Khobfa's birthday.
Rin and Khobfa were adorable and this is why I finished the series, just for them.
The ending, OMG, I certainly didn't expect Renji/Time to be a secret couple, but I'm taking it, it will be very entertaining. They will definitely be involved in bringing Nine down. But Wan has to be involved, too, please. I get that he's a nice person who would never harm anyone, but it would be very disappointing if he lets all of it slide.

Have I mentioned how much I love Wan? He was never spineless or dumb.
They have a public viewing for episode 6, which is done only for key episodes, so I expect a lot.

Khobfa continues to be the best, I can't describe how much I love him.
