Agreed! Manner of Death is a very good example for a plot driven-show with a BL couple. Triage is another one. But this one isn't, and it was clear when the official trailer came out. It's not the curse that makes Akk and Ayan change as characters, it's them falling in love.

I'm still convinced that Thua and not Chadok took Ayan's notebook. I'm not sure why, but for me it wasn't a coincidence Ayan found the book after Thua turned up and not before.

For those missing a plot I'd suggest to watch the trailer again. This is a series about Akk and Ayan's relationship and the way their characters grow and develop, the plot is secondary and I personally couldn't be happier about that, because a well-developed and gradual enemies-to-lovers like this one is rare. This is a romance-driven and not a plot-driven show. The romance between Akk and Ayan and how it affects and changes them has been central to the story since the beginning; everything else is secondary. And when we take this into account, the changes in their characters are obvious. Ayan's softer and more trusting, while Akk allows himself to come out of his shell and see different points of view than his own or Chadok's.

I loved the underwater kiss and don't care it's been done before. Seriously, they could've kissed anywhere and it would've been done before; there are only that many possibilities for a kiss. What's more important is that Akk went for it first and he's calling Ayan Aye now. Progress on all fronts!

I though nothing could top episode 6, but I was wrong! I have a new favourite now! This was such a great episode from the beginning to the end, honestly!

Yes, I'm still angry about it. Sky and Prapai get one episode less. In the Payu and Rain SL we barely got to see Prapai and although Sky got a decent screen time as Rain's friend, it seems like Rain's going to get the same screen time in the Sky and Prapai SL. Why was it necessary to take 3 or 4 precious minutes from Sky and Prapai to repeat a scene we already saw in ep. 2?

Sky is precious and has to be protected at all costs, although to be fair, I'm sure he can take care of himself.

I feel very shallow when I write this, but these two (Sky and Prapai) have to be one of the best looking couples I've ever seen and I think I'd watch them even if they had the most boring SL in the world. Thankfully, they don't. They were what I wanted to see from the start and I love them. Whoever found them and cast them, thank you very much.

Why was it necessary to repeat the Rain/Payu scene from episode 2 in its entirety? It was so annoying, I thought I was watching the wrong episode. Was there any sense of it or did I miss something? I was expecting Rain to remember Sky was left there alone in that dangerous place, but it never happened, so why?

Sky was my favourite from the very beginning (first teasers and trailers) and this hasn't changed. Maybe I'm biased, but I also think Peat is the strongest actor of the four.

Yes, Payu and Rain's SL is completed. The Sky and Prapai SL started in part 4 of episode 7. I recommend watching it, because even though they don't appear together, it's about their characters and gives a little background.

Wow, I only knew of 2 seasons. The second book is being written at the moment, according to this source: https://twitter.com/mesemerry_/status/1573338739270914048

I want to comment on the consent thing, because while I agree in general that it's not necessary to ask for consent every time you want to kiss someone who obviously is attracted to you too, I don't think Ayan saying that if Akk didn't like it he would stop was misplaced in the concrete scene we're talking about given Akk's personality, state of mind (he had just prevented another kiss from happening), their relationship with each other and the fact that it was established Akk's a virgin. Ayan was extra careful and soft and I can see why. For me, the scene in its entirety and the kiss were perfect they way they were for the reasons I mentioned. Another similar scene when I found it was all right to ask for consent was the first kiss between Pob and Leon in Don't Say No. So, in general I agree, but there are exceptions to the rule. And I still haven't given up on a love scene between Ayan and Akk, so hopefully we'll see some passion. The actors are amazing and have great chemistry and will deliver. The two kisses they had are already more memorable than most I've seen this year, and the imaginary kiss is one of the best I've seen at all, period.

I really dislike mentioning another series and comparing, but I'll do it in order to make my point that Gmmtv seems to be improving with the number of the "allowed" kisses, too. I don't know if you're watching Vice Versa, which ended today, because it started airing about a month before The Eclipse. It took a lot of time for the mains to kiss properly, but after that they kissed quite a few times, I think in one of the episodes even more than once. This is quite an improvement since last year's 1000 Stars, Fish Upon the Sky and even Bad Buddy. Sadly, I personally think that you're right and we'll probably see only one kiss more from Akk and Ayan with the rate their relationship is progressing, but who knows, maybe we'll be proven wrong. 🙂😉

I watched the episode after reading some of the comments here and was scared that I was not going to like it, but ended up loving it! Note to myself: don't read reactions before watching the episode yourself, it's better for your mental state!

Akk never said he didn't have feelings for Ayan, he said he's not ready to admit them and he chooses not to act on them. I think I already wrote that as a comment to another episode, but Akk will have to choose between love and being the perfect prefect and the perfect Suppalo student at some point, hopefully soon, because I really don't want this to turn into one of the series in which the main couple comes together in the very last episode, although probably exactly this is going to happen. :-( Whether he'll choose right before it's too late remains to be seen, but I'm glad Ayan's being mature and patient enough to give him the chance. My love for Ayan in this episode has no limits, I admire him so much for giving a chance on love despite everything. It takes a lot of strength and courage to do that after what happened. I also think that Akk deserves this chance, because he does have genuine feelings for Ayan, even though he doesn't want to admit them.

So dear old Chadok invented the curse and passed it on to the future prefects, right? Figures.

I didn't get the last part. So Thua had Ayan's notebook and wanted to give it to the teachers? Or was it there already and in the mess that followed it fell to the floor and Ayan found it?

Not true. The special episode would be ep. 14, so Prapai and Sky get 6 episodes and a quarter. 😉

Gmmtv is promoting episode 8 with a picture of close-in of Akk and Ayan's faces leaning in as though they're going to kiss.

Now seriously, if we don't get a kiss after that today, I'm sueing.

Finally the moment I've been waiting for ever since I watched the first teasers is here! Sky's story is starting!

I can already say that Rain is going to be in so much trouble with Sky for giving his number to Phai. This was still my favourite part of the episode, though, Phai was hilarious in it and I liked Fort's acting very much, he did well, even though he looks a bit young. Also, Phai called Sky as soon as he got outside Pauy's house, I loved that! The guy doesn't want to wait another second. 😉

I watched the second half of part 3 and the fourth part of the episode on YouTube an embarrassing number of times. My baby Sky has that effect on me. It was literally love from first sight. 😊

I hope that the Midnight series will replace Vice Versa, too. Their filming is supposed to be finished. No idea in which order they would air them, though.

The Warp Effect is another possibility.

The subtitles of this are so bad, at least of the YouTube version. It's watchable, but barely, especially for not-native English speakers like me.

That being said, Nhai has to be the most hopeless and clueless character I've seen in a BL series, however not in an annoying, but in an entertaining and amusing way. I like him and will watch mainly for him.

These two cannot be compared, they are completely different. The only thing they have in common is the fact that they include two couples, but that's it. Not even the timelines of both couples are the same - in LitA, you have first the SL of one couple and then the other, while in The Eclipse the SLs of both couples run simultaneously.

I can't help it, Peat is gorgeous, I can't stop staring at him. To be fair, I do think his character is more interesting than the other three, too. 😉

*raises hand* Like me? Although I didn't drop Love in the Air, but am watching desperately hoping to see a glimpse of Sky. He was the reason I started watching and of course I'm more interested in his SL than in Payu and Rain, who never interested me that much. We are all allowed to like some things more than other.

I'm not sure watching the OhmNanon scenes only makes a lot of sense here, though, they are so few and far inbetween and disconnected that only the visuals would stay with you and you won't get anything of the plot, as simple as it is.

Just wanted to give big thumbs up to this comment. Akk and Ayan have literally been interacting with each other and learning things about each other all the time since the very beginning. It's actually one of the best developed enemies-to-lovers relationships I've seen in BL. And the attraction was there from the beginning, too, even if it didn't happen at the same time to both of them.

The interaction between Kan and Ayan was one of my favourite moments in the episode, because until now, Kan seemed to dislike Ayan. Yes, it was mostly because he was jealous, and this is why I was so surprised he was willing to accept Thua being with Ayan if this is what they want. Real mature of him, I didn't expect it. It shows he really has real feelings for Thua, which finally sold them to me as a couple.

Was it just me or did Thua notice how Akk was staring at Ayan while they were on the beach? This could prove important in the future. No one else knows about it. Well, Kan seemed to notice something, but he spoke about it to Ayan because Thua was involved, not because he seemed that interested in Akk and Ayan.

Also, it seems that Namo is willing to take over the curse from Akk and continue if Akk is going to stop.
