On The Boy Next World: Uncut Jan 12, 2025
Episode 2 makes me feel like I believe in their multiverse. In a way the script is so well done that I could feel the magic that sparks and resonates into reality. As soon as Phukan recognized the "knock knock knock..." and remembered that one day back in high school, I felt a chill coursing through me.

I enjoy watching each time P'Cir could prove one fact about Phun. Him connecting Phukan to Phu is like he had performed a magic trick that amazes me as well as Phu. Another thing I enjoy is watching Phu able to behave his usual self toward P'Cir which convinces him and myself that Phu and Phukan are one of the same.

I am invested and looking forward to seeing where this series will take us. TBC

Title Your Sky
My heart dropped when Babe reacted opposite of what I expected her to when Dom held up the cute puppy. How could she not swoon at the sight of the iconic scene of Rafiki held Simba. Dom looked adorable behind the puppy.

IDK why Teerak stressed about coming out to his parents and grandpa. Dad was so easy going with Dom and he allowed having Moobek in the house. I think Dad would be just as easy with Rak dating Fah. With Dad and Babe backing him up, coming out to Mom and grandpa would be a piece of cake.

I'm not surprised about Hia and Real's turbulent affairs. When they begin having their civilized communication, then hopefully they'll be a couple. I'm disappointed not getting to see Punlee together with Klaijai in this episode.

I knew the meeting with the non-approval in-laws scenario was all in Teerak's head. But it was awful to watch the whole family including his boyfriend laughing at him as if he was Carrie White dreaming of being with someone above her status.

In the end, I'm not sure who was happier between the two. Was it Rak who got to sleep over two nights at Fah's or Fah who got to spend two whole days and a lustful evening with Rak?

That was all for this week's episode. Let us see more of the side couples in the remaining episodes. TBC

Whenever Yotha brought his face up close to Gun and Gun was all stunned looking back at him, I was waiting for Gun to HICCUP. When no hiccup happens, I remember that this isn't a K-drama.

Another cute episode of Yoth and Gun, but with this one has plenty of smiles between them and especially more smiles from Yotha. At this point, I wonder whether Yotha smiles more because he's comfortable being with Gun or he smiles because Gun amused him.

It's so cute when Arm and Gun are together among the Perfect 10. Those drunken two got loud and boisterous next to their tolerant boyfriends make me think of the 70s sitcom Laverne and Shirley duo. Arm and Gun are like telepathically in sync with each other.

I've seen some of the early comments on episode 12. I wonder why many expect to see Gun and Yotha confess in the next episode. Haven't they already admitted liking each other when they took Kong's survey and sealed it with a kiss initiated by Yoth?!
On I'll Turn Back This Time Jan 11, 2025
Title I'll Turn Back This Time Spoiler
Honestly, I have no problem with another stepbrother trope. It's not incest. Personally, I think it's almost the same with childhood friends who are almost like brothers of different parents.

I love the pace since this only has six episodes. It's a typical trope of enemies turns lovers. I still have to see how they'll turn to lovers. So far, it's only Shi Wen's one-sided love. His confession was not completed since Shen Nan had not heard Shi Wen over the traffic noise. I've only seen Shen Nan's obliged to care for Shi Wen as a brother.

There were clues from the beginning that led to the accident. First, I thought it was rude of Shi Wen for running his bike into Shen Nan. Apparently, he did miss the traffic light like Shen Nan scolded him for. Then I was wondering why Shi Wen was so happy receiving a palette of color paints. It was evident that previously, Shi Wen only sketched using pencils. It turns out he is green and red color blind. What I still like to know is about Shen Nan's premonition dream of the red truck and how that fits into the plot of this story.

Heng4 just would not let up with his taunt. Young master is already embarrassed. I spat when I saw the donut seat cushion prepared for Bushi's comfort. They didn't stop there, Bushi set himself up when he asked for hot chili sauce. Heng4's database immediately cautioned the repercussions of ingesting such hot spice in Bushi's current condition. Episode 5 is too funny. I'm simply happy and pleased to watch this along with ThamePo on a Friday.

I am enjoying this just as I did with Anti Reset. It's too funny now that there are many Heng models out and each has its own unique feature. I saw that there will be a cameo play Heng7 and I am so looking forward to that. AI Heng4 texting Heng9 about the functions just got me laughing. It's like little and big brothers asking and advising first time experiences. šŸ˜

On a side note: it's because of my recent viewing of First Note of Love. Zhou Zhen Qun at certain angles of his face or some of his facial expressions makes me see a young version of Reese.
On ThamePo Heart That Skips a Beat Jan 10, 2025
Three major events happened in episode 5 today. The plot is to recruit Nano back to MARS

I say Po is good with his interview. He gets Nano to relate with his own experience and voila the rest is up to the members. It was wholesome watching how well everything is going smoothly as planned.

The only hitch in this episode in Jun coming between Po and Thame. I wonder what's his agenda!?! Is he jealous of Po getting Thame's attention or vice versa. Jun wants to deter Po's attention away from Thame and look at him instead. Now that would be an ongoing drama between the three, a love triangle !?!

I gotta admit it was fun watching Thame's jealous side. Thame is so transparent that both Jun and Per could see him on edge. With that, I'm glad Per is same mind as me. Help and push Thame a bit.

I noticed that this episode is shorter than the previous ones. Not complaining because I am very delighted that Po took the direct order, not moving and let Thame hug him. The happy face on Thame makes it all worth for me this week. šŸ‘ šŸ’— 🄰 šŸ˜

Huh!? I'm not complaining, but we'll get episode 17 come next week. Episode 16 today has become my favorite of this series this season. It's so good. I hope season 2 will continue at this caliber.

I was so invested in Jo's backstory. I didn't want it to end, but it was good that the story came to a full circle with Hill's own.

My heart was aching for Jo seeing that he hadn't a chance with North and couldn't get over him while studying abroad. At the same time I was rooting for Jo to persist because we all know that he'll be with North eventually. I love that they were fated to be together. They crossed paths so many times and over the time they ran into each other. The other thing I love about their story is that they stay honest and true to themselves. What I mean is North didn't want to cheat on his girlfriend and Jo didn't want to be a homewrecker. I also like that there was hope when North got dumped and was in a slump. Then Jo's gift came in time with a request for him to smile which worked.

When the story returned to the present, North crying got my tear duct gushing and blurring my vision. It was a good feeling knowing that they truly belong together. Because of North's sensible morals, Jo better himself. In turn, Jo, like a guardian angel, gives North support (snacks to sate his hunger, night companion by staying late at the internet cafe and a plush ducky to comfort North).

So yes, episode 16 is currently my favorite of Fourever You. 🫶
On The Heart Killers Jan 8, 2025
Title The Heart Killers Spoiler
I felt empty knowing the love and betrayal between the four of them in the first half of episode 7. I had to watch and follow what was coming knowing the charade that the brothers give to their enemies.

The only thing real was the brothers angry at themselves for being set up. Fadel, especially, was fooled by his own brother setting Style up for him. So without a doubt, they would have to eliminate the snitch. It has to come to that because after all they are hitmen.

For me, all was serious until they showed Bison angrily imagining ways to off Kant after seeing the surveillance footage. It was laughable with his choices of stabbing, shooting or strangling his boyfriend in revenge for making a fool out of him.

I was wondering why all of a sudden the brothers got involved with the lovers' quarrel. It was a set up for them to get wounded saving the damsel. That way they succeeded in making Kant and Style really fall for them seeing their heroic act.

The brothers are definitely professionals. They carried out their plans with improvisations kidnapping Kant and Style and they were lucky to evade the police pursuit.

Tbh,it was sad to watch Kant distressed due to his PTSD. I think I may have missed Kant's unpleasant situation with his family in the previous episodes. So I felt bad for him leaving Babe if he was to die.

On the other hand with Style, I won't comment because everyone already covered the absurdity of his reactions to Fafel's threats.

I wish I didn't see the preview for the next episode. It was really a spoiler for me. Oh well, TBC.

I agree with everything you wrote. Maybe I’m just seeing things from my own parents back in the father of Zi…
Off topic: There should be like a group therapy or a club for cousins like Zi Cheng and Mo Yi the intrusive cousin of Wu Bi in Stay With Me, Gu Yang the snobby cousin of Gu Hai of the original Addicted, and Seal the control freak cousin of Hero in the recent Addicted Heroin. šŸ˜…

The scene of our leads using sign language to one another at the crosswalk had me so stressed out, I seriously…
You are not alone with the fear of crosswalks in all of Asian drama series. The trope of street accidents destroying and or disrupting romantic relationships in dramas has traumatized me from crossing the streets until I end the phone call I was on.
On See Your Love Jan 8, 2025
It's over. It's really over. I can only pray for a special episode šŸ™

Ugh! I still don't like Sean's father. He was rude to Shaopeng's dad. Purposely knocked over the tea cup because he lost in convincing Shaopeng's dad so he behaved as rich people would bully the lesser ones. Perhaps I was wrong for expecting Sean's father to be tolerable toward the LGBTQ+ community since he's from America.

I was disappointed with Zi Cheng's issue. In my opinion, this series could be well off without his character and his weak story plot. I need not to comment on insignificant Jessica or Song Shuhee.

I am totally satisfied with Wang Xin Jia giving in to Jonathan and with his willingness to learn English and continue being Jonathan's assistant I love their trifle bed time story.

I wonder whether his father's sudden visit triggered Zixiang to go back in the closet to sleep. It's good that he could take his time with Shaopeng's support to correct that habit.

I'm going to miss Shaopeng with Zixiang and Wang Xin Jia with Jonathan.
On Our Youth Jan 7, 2025
Title Our Youth Spoiler
I didn't know that there was episode 11 until seeing the recent comments here. What a nice touch to end this series. Honestly, I should have known by now of their happy ending. However, I'm like Jin who is still worried when not seeing Hirukawa by his side when he wakes up from sleeping. Sometimes I get pessimistic when things happen too well to be true.

That last scene at the beach is special for an American like myself. I am in California and only see the sunset at the sea. It's different in the Orient where the sun rises out of the sea. Now I understand why Asian romance drama scripts send lovebirds to stay overnight by the sea. It's romantic in the sense of starting fresh on a new day and leaving the past.

I love the story that began with Minase getting splashed by Hirukawa's wet hair droplets when they first met eye to eye. At the end scene they continue splashing sea water at each other while playing before the sun sparkling sea. Beautiful. šŸŒ… Love it. Love them! 🫶
On Our Youth Jan 7, 2025
Title Our Youth
The lines in Hirukawa's adaptation of Minase's letters to him, "I thought we would be happier. So let's say goodbye for now. Just until we become adults."

For me, that's pretty much what the last 3 episodes were about. Hiru and Minase departed due to their circumstances. Each went his own ways to finish school and go to college. Then many years later they found each other.

I like that this is similar to "Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo." The boys were powerless young men. Until each has grown up, becomes independent and mature, then they could be in a loving relationship without hindrance.

Perhaps I was slow to recognize the wooden playsets (Hiru's sanctuary) was his metaphorical ship, a mode of transport that allows him to escape his harsh reality. Whatever, it's all in his past. He is now free to be with Minase.

I am happy for their Happy Ending.
On Ossan's Love Thailand Jan 6, 2025
Title Ossan's Love Thailand Spoiler
šŸ¤ž Off with a good start. I should put my comparison of this production with its predecessors on the back burner, when the plot set up is the same. So far, I am enjoying Earth's ability to do comedy. I also like that the script has Boss marital status as a widow. That makes it comfortable for me knowing he's not unfaithful to his wife. Let T-Ossan's Love in the following Mondays be enjoyable for me.

What I like: Instant comedy. Overly exaggerate low-IQ but cutesy protagonists. The widowed boss (not a cringy pervert character). Actors and cast of characters. The unity of the office staff. Lovable support characters: office staff, childhood friends (pub owner and barkeep) and mom (hope to see more of her again). Pace (at least it is not dragging yet).

There's nothing I don't like yet.

First episode and we already have Boss beat Mo in confessing to Heng and Mo beat Boss in kissing Heng (in the shower šŸ˜). If we were to keep score between Boss and Mo, it is one to one. Let the tug of war battle of a love triangle begin in the following 11 episodes. šŸŽ¬
On Sangmin Dinneaw Jan 5, 2025
This is not a complaint, but my appreciation of the 2nd episode which shows plenty of bare skin. The cast is growing on me. That is why I don't like the idea of the boys leaving mom alone running the homestay.
On The Boy Next World Jan 5, 2025
Title The Boy Next World Spoiler
Brrr...First episode gives me the chills. Boss and Noeul are fantastic in their roles as Cir and Phu. Their characters are so realistic. I should say their acting to me is much better compared to when they were in LITA.

Of course only a superstitious Phu would easily believe Cir about the parallel world. Well, it's more like common sense to him witnessing the things Cir knows about him couldn't be a coincidence. Plus, Cir is not only hot, he's a keeper. I mean he's a very observant boyfriend, mindful of Phu habit and daily needs.

I'm curious whether Cir also knows that Phu of this world has seven days of colored underwear !?!

There's the mystery of parallel worlds that I'm looking forward to in this new series. TBC

Btw, I like the cinematography, the sound, and the soundtrack song.

Title Perfect 10 Liners Spoiler
I admit I'm kinda slow in recognizing actors that I've seen before. But I finally got a closer look at Gun's classmate, Franc, played by Ochiris Suwanacheep. Ochiris Suwanacheep played one of the memorable comedic roles "Dynamite" in "Cooking Crush".

That aside, it seems like history might repeat for Gun and Yotha. I mean Arc warns Yotha to prevent making mistakes that'll hurt the one he cares for. At the same time, not to drag Arm into the midst. Arc forewarns because he was once a hothead and crashed his car that scared him thinking he could have hurt Arm more than a few scrapes.

It's just too funny with the double date going to dinner before the movie. Seeing how Arm and Gun paired off while Arc and Yotha trailed behind them, they are like the Flintstone with Betty and Wilma the housewives of Fred and Barney their husbands.

Gun and Yotha are making progress getting to know each other better. I love that the two play off each other well. Gun persists on knowing more of what would make Yotha smile. On the other hand, I love that Yotha is already smitten with Gun. Too bad Gun is dense just like when Arm didn't see how obvious Arc was when wooing him during the previous year. At least Gun's friends and Faifah point out the obvious hints which Gun overlooked. That questionnaire for example was Yoth's design to get personal info out of Gun.

Episode 12 would be midway through the Gun and Yotha's love story. So it would be time for them to confess and end their friend zone to change their status as boyfriends.

Title Your Sky Spoiler
I spat not expecting Fah to halt Lee so he could roll his luggage away so he could talk to Rak at the airport. Whew! I am glad that they seriously had their talk with much delay. I love Fah's backstory about knowing Teerak way before their fake date Rak is more mature now that he has Fah by his side though he is still overthinking too much. Fah and Rak need to work on coming out to Rak's parents and grandpa. I'm looking forward to seeing Rak being tested by the in-law in the following episode. šŸ˜…

I noticed that we had a little more than an hour of episode 8. That gave us a bit of Real and Hia time as well as Punlee and Ghlaijai. Idk whether I'm buying Hia's act. Why is he acting shy and running away now? I had no problem pestering Real including covering his drinks. Even Babe and Dom were onto him about Real. šŸ˜†

Punlee is the most normal character in this series. So I'm not surprised how smooth he was making a move on Ghlaijai. There was no time to waste. He invited himself to join up and meet with Ghlaijai together alone at the cafe. He and Ghlaijai need to catch up with his brother who already agreed to date Teerak. Idk if they had a history because I'm surprised that Ghlaijai was ready to get on board hanging out with Lee. 🫶

Can someone please explain to me what happened to sun during the many months before he was finally found by Jodd…
Idk how long it would take for a shapeshifter to heal from a bullet wound. I assume after Sun was found by Ton and Nat he must have stayed with them to recuperate.
