I feel like the show took some of the issues it presented too lightly. Plus, some scenes made me uncomfortable, especially the very last bit. Given everything that has happened to Sailom, I think it shouldn't have been included at all. But at least the actors showed decent portrayals of their characters.

PS. Is it bad that I ship Saifah with Kang's father more than I ship the main couple? 😅

I feel like the series ‘officially’ started at episode 4. (The first three was really a mess, and the pilot didn’t feel like a pilot.) Looking forward to watching the next episodes. I hope it gets better. 😊

This is one of my most anticipated series in GMMTV’s 2023 lineup. But NGL, it bored the hell out of me. It was lacking in so many aspects and I only stayed for my favorites. It did get better in the last few episodes. And that final scene got me hoping for season 2. But if they’re going to give us a sequel, I hope they improve a lot because damn this series got so much potential.

NGL, this was my least anticipated BL from GMMTV’s 2023 roster as I’m not really a fan of the time travel trope so it took me 5 episodes before I finally gave it a try. Now, it’s quickly becoming one of my favorites. The characters are so well-written and relatable that I ended up binging all available episodes when I only planned to watch one last night. I can’t wait for the next ones!

Mark Pakin really stole my heart in this series. His performance as Big Boss Tiwson is EVERYTHING!

Are you referring to the part where White is recalling riding bikes with Black? If yes, the song is "The Rivers Told Me Lies" by Daniel Gunnarsson. 🙂

Tiffy went from my favorite to my most hated character in this series. I thought she was gonna be the support Aoey needed but she only acted like a proper manager to him like once. And she really had to tell him they’d be parting ways right before the press con when she knew Aoey was already struggling? How cruel. I’ve hot more bones to pick on this series but I’m most disappointed about how her character not being fleshed out enough to justify her actions.

Not gonna lie, I ain’t so much of a fan of the overall execution of the story. The revelation in ep 9 doesn’t even feel like a revelation anymore. Who’s even surprised at this point? However, I still enjoyed watching. The show is ending tomorrow and I’m a bit sad coz Girl2k gave me something to look forward to every Wednesdays and Thursdays. I hope they manage to wrap it nicely. Nevertheless, I’m so happy and proud of Jumpol for this for I know it’s his long-time dream to play a character like Boss Thawin. :)

Ahh... I see Hin is a man of culture as well...

Kidding aside, I’m loving the show so far. It’s so refreshing and all the characters are actually interesting, like they’re not just there to fill in time. Plus, I’m living for the jabs at the BL industry (especially in the first episode). They really went there. And I hope they be more aggressive in critiquing (?) the industry in the future episodes.

I love how this feels like it’s been pulled out of a crack au of some sort. Something I could watch without thinking too much amid the stressful week. But, damn, that Oab character is annoying af. Aside from his abysmal work ethic, it pisses me off even more that he looks like my disgusting officemate. It’s a struggle every episode ???

Been thinking of rewatching this since season 2 is coming out soon. Then I remembered how this could’ve been so much better if it were bl sooo...

I watched this to find out if it would give me relief regarding my concern about Type being unemployed. Season 2 ended with him still jobless, right? Sure, Tharn is rich and is capable of providing a lavish life for Type. But Type really values his job. Sadly, that wasn’t addressed in this special (or did I just miss it? I was watching it at 2x speed ?). Nevertheless, MewGulf’s chemistry is still undeniable that it was still enjoyable to watch.

I had high hopes at the beginning of this season but ended up dreading the disappointment that most of the episodes brought. In the end, I only kept watching for my man Type. Type is one of the most complex characters I’ve seen in BL and I feel like this season is such a big disrespect to him. If anyone got some nice fix-it-fics, please share the link. I need it. Thanks!

I’m just on episode 1 and wow Yeo Jingoo never disappoints.

Wow. It was a struggle not to fall asleep on episode 9 even on 2x speed. Not a good way to come back after New Year’s break. TBH, the only conflict i found interesting this season (not that there are a lot to choose from) was Type’s dilemma with his boss. But now that that’s dealt with, I’m rapidly losing interest on the show. And the sloppy writing ain’t helping. At this point, I’m only watching for the sake of finishing all the episodes. I hate feeling this way toward a show I highly anticipated.

Although I believe that there are so many areas for improvement, I really loved this movie! It was so refreshing to see a Catholic school being open to our lgbtqia+ brothers and sisters. I was smiling from ear to ear during that lecture about homosexuality not being a sin. We need more progressive movies / shows / content like this.

I agree. The only character that “makes sense” this season is Type. Even Tharn gets on my nerves sometimes. Type’s the only reason why I’m watching at this point. And him punching the boss is just so satisfying.

I missed Seo too! However, “dumb” is a bit too harsh, don’t you think? Seo just lost his lifelong dream. He worked so hard for so long and failed to debut. Imagine enduring all those years of training only to be rejected, while his friends are already going places with their jobs. He may be calm, collected, and mature most of the time but he’s still human. His breakdown is valid.

“Oh, Mando!” really has that “Wansapanataym” vibe. It was a fun watch. I just wish Mando had a moment with Ma’am Siwa to have a deeper talk about him discovering his sexuality. I feel like she could give him great guidance.
