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.

I'm finally convinced with Kan and Thua. Kan was willing to see Thua with Ayan if that's what they wanted. And that kiss was amazing, nothing like their FUTS kiss. I used to think they had little chemistry, but it seems the directing and how a scene is shot adds a lot to the way we perceive a couple on screen.

As for Akk and Ayan, it's going to be about choosing between love and duty and what everyone expects of you, right? Exactly my kind of story, I live for it, gimme! I'm a little disappointed the amazing kiss from last episode was just an imagination, but it still has a purpose to show how strong Akk's feeling are. Also, the real kiss is coming next week.

Am I the only one who actually likes that Akk calls Ayan by his full name? I think it's cute.

The NC scene is on YouTube, but on the uncensored MeMindy channel. It's a little annoying to have it as a separate clip, but it's there.

Sky and Prapai get 6 episodes. There will be a special episode, but it's not episode 13.

I love Rain way more than Payu. I'm weird like this. Absolutely thumbs up from me for this comment!👍

I firmly believe that kiss from the trailer is coming in the next episode! If it doesn't happen then, in episode 8 it should.

I rewatched all 6 episodes yestersay - am in vacation visiting my parents with nothing better to do - and want to point out a couple of things I'd missed before.

- I don't get how Akk could manipulate the car, run back to the other two prefects as quickly as he apparently did and then run to the street together with them. How far was that car parked? He suspected from the beginning that Ayan had seen him, and Ayan was not that far away when the accident happened.
- Akk was ruthless during that investigation inquiery when teacher Sani asked the guy responsible for the car if he'd forgotten to secure it. He was the one to say it was possible. They easily could've put the blame on the innocent man for something Akk did and fired him.
- Akk was indeed attracted to Ayan from the beginning, but not Ayan, his feelings kinda developed from episode 2.
- I correct my earlier comment on teacher Sani, she seems to be indeed a good person caught in the middle.

This is one of the many, many things that is so great about this series, the characters are not easy to be stereotyped. I noticed in the YouTube comments many people asking the same thing and can't help but wonder why it matters. To me, Ayan and Akk are versatile, like most gay and lesbian couples in RL.

And I have to give cudos to Gmmtv for giving us not one, but two BL couples this year that are not easy to be put into the "top and bottom" category. I hope they keep it on, I personally love it.

In the first trailer there is a scene very similar to Ayan's nightmare in ep. 6, but the person who jumped from the cliff was not Ayan's uncle, but Akk. If this is going to happen and the nightmare is meant as foreshadowing, I have to prepare to cry a lot. Ayan's already obviously traumatized after what has happened to the uncle. I can't imagine him having to witness the same thing with Akk.😭

This was the best episode for me so far, and seeing that the last couple of episodes were already very good, this is saying something.

Finally we got to understand two things - why Akk was after Ayan since the beginning (because I believe that he at least has suspected Ayan had seen him manipulating the car) and why Akk punched him in the locker room after Ayan threatened to say who was behind the curse. He was protecting himself the whole time. I'm still convinced his motives are mostly selfish. He clearly said he doesn't want the school rules threatened while he is the lead prefect. Of course he doesn't want to disappoint his parents, but it's still mostly about himself and his reputation and future. His huge crush on Ayan is very inconvinient and is probably the only thing standing in his way right now.

Words cannot describe how much I love Ayan. Such a brave, caring, vulnerable and yet strong person. He is there for a revenge, but IMO the difference between him and Akk is that he would never go as far, not even if that teacher is involved. Let's see if I'm right and how far his revenge will go.

Unlike everybody else, I'm suspicious of teacher Sani, she seemed way too interested in the prefects' trio. I wonder why.

The funniest scene was Akk and Ayan with the cat. Akk's explanation about hugging Ayan to protect him from getting scratched got me laughing so hard. Like, really, it was as funny as him thinking teacher Dika was Ayan's boyfriend. I love how every time Ayan confronts him about the absurd things he says. And of course, every time Akk says something like that is somehow connected to his crush on Ayan. A propos, crush. I saw some people complain the kiss was rushed for an enemies-to-lovers SL. I strongly disagree. They've been attracted to each other from the beginning and both were aware of it. Even Akk hasn't been in denial about it (at least to himself) since he found himself sniffing on Ayan's jacket. Then we have to consider everything that happened in this episode and how much more bonding they did. They confronted each other, cried together, made confessions, had dinner, had several close moments, and the touching and staring happened all the time. Them sleeping in the same bed and Ayan's nightmare was the last straw and Akk just couldn't take anymore, which, of course, was the only encouragement Ayan needed.

From the currently airing BL series I'm watching, this is the best one, and it's definitely the best Gmmtv has produced this year.

I'm going to leave a proper review after I've rewatched the episode tomorrow, but just wanted to say that I might've rewinded and seen that kiss several times. ☺
