Idk why Tong does not trust Mark, a vampire who has been watching and protecting him all his life. The writers seem to target adolescent audiences who have no experience in making trustworthy friends. Is this a coming-of-age drama?
It's poor character development. Tong is supposed to be young and naive since growing up protected in the orphanage. This episode changes Tong into a basketball jock. He also understands what it takes to make and maintain a good friend. I don't like that he undervalues Mark's knowledge of trust in friendship just because Mark's a vampire.
This episode also reduces Mark a supernatural being to a sheltered vampire who wouldn't understand human relations.
For the sake of being a fan of the bl series, I'll forgo the fact that Mark, an age old vampire, lust for nong Tong, a child whom he watched growing up from a baby. I am unlike most who are icky about age gap relationships.
I'm glad to see the progress of Mark and Tong coupling. I also like that Nakan is reappearing and a threat to Mark and Tong. At this point, it's predictable for me to see Tong letting his guard down without heeding Mark's caution between both Nakan and Tongla. I can't remember whether Mark informed of Nakan's ability to control minds. I have a feeling that there will be a fallout between Tong and his brother Tongkla. Lets see what's coming up in the following episodes. TBC.
😄 "....fatten me up to eat me later..." 🤤 Nom nom nom...😋
I think Mark, a vampire, enjoyed food that Tong fed him could be a side effect of consuming the droplet of 🩸 Golden Blood. And the same with only Mark who could smell Tong and not Miss Wan or Miss Thara.
Gosh, I'm thinking that Tong's bodily fluid beside his blood would be beneficial to Mark. Wouldn't it be wild if Mark were to lick up all of Tong's sweaty neck?
I'm suspecting Mark for invading Tong's wet dream.
Before, Mark's sudden appearance startled Tong with the guitar. In the end, he appeared as Tong's classmate. Their bond/connection is what we shippers are enjoying.
Ahh! I was so for them to get together, but after that comment, even if he didn’t mean it (unsure at this point)…
Eons ago, Vietnamese had prejudices against bi-racial children. These children were part Vietnamese and part foreign soldiers during the VN war. They were despised because many of them were born either out of wedlock. The fathers returned to their motherland after the war was over. Some were born by mothers who were raped by those foreign soldiers. Idk much of their plight, but I'm sure they suffered much as being fatherless bastards. Many had mothers who were repeatedly scrutinized and or cast-out by maternal families and neighbors for her misconduct with foreign men. I don't think it's like that now in VN.
Thai's Gelboys by far is the most brilliant bl series production ever for me. I won't list but admit that everything about it gets full 10/10 from me.
Right now I could only praise the director for the actors' subtle action that no words or dialogue could do better. That was when 4Mood and Chian already made up. After saying so much and agreeing to continue doing nails until they grow out of it. Proceeding to do 4Mood's nails, Chian abruptly stopped his hands. He hesitated then offered his palm up as if asking permission for 4Mood's hand instead of freely grabbing the wrists. As a viewer, I could feel the "uh-oh" second hand embarrassed for Chian while 4Mood just remained still, stared and waited for Chian to make a move.
I was all giddy watching Baa asking Bua not to stay mad at him. He leaned in and pleaded as his arms awkwardly wrapped around Bua. Baa was cutely pleading while Bua sat stiffly not giving in yet.
I am extremely happy for their Happy Ending. And will miss them much. 💋

I had my own personal experiences with segregation as a GAM who once lived in San Francisco and now lives in Los Angeles. It was the same for Asian friends living in New York. Gay Asian men are minorities in gay clubs and bars.
There used to be a small bar that had catered to GAM in San Francisco for decades until the owner could not renew the lease. After that bar was closed, there was a club hosted in a different neighborhood which was convenient for local GAM. It only opened once a week on the weekend.
And once a month there was a big venue in a large dance club for GAM. That monthly venue would attract GAM from all over the Bay Area. Occasionally interracial couples could be seen on the dance floor, and non-Asian would be the minority among the Asian crowd.
I can't speak for Thai viewers because I'm American descended from the VietNam root. Because I've watch many gay films and bl series for decades, I noticed that only Thai bl series have bi-racial actors as part of their production. Only a handful of Thai bl actors have distinguishable western traits in their looks, to name a few: Kim Thitisan Goodburn, ISBANKY, Bright Vachirawit, Drake Laedeke, and Leon Zech as Buaa.
So far it seems common that Thai bl series productions cast bi-racial actors. We as frequent viewers have been accustomed to their looks and have less discernment.
On a side note: correct me if I'm wrong. I have not seen bi-racial actors in K-bl, C-bl, or in J-bl.
I like the plot. A flat broke content creator runs various oddball part time jobs and a dental student one root canal assignment from graduating. Sant with a sweet tooth that's aching cannot afford professional dental treatments. Conveniently for Dr Jway needing a root canal patient to complete his study in his final semester while Sant has no choice but to depend on an affordable treatment at the dental faculty. Sant and Dr Jway really need to rely on each other to get past their current sticky-situations. Fate has brought these two love-at-first-sight handsome men together. And we as viewers get 12 episodes of the Sweet Tooth Good Dentist series every Friday.
Idk why Sant chose to run away from Dr Jway? Didn't he find Jay a good looking guy when he waited to complete an assignment for Queen? Before recognizing Jay under the doggy face mask, Sant thinks the dentist is handsome.
As for Jay switching genders, I'm stupefy that he was on his first date to meet Queen suddenly drawn to Sweet Smile Boy.
First episode and I am already falling for Dr Jway. I'll be patient with Sant to stop snubbing Jay. However, I am waiting for Jimmy to appear as Captain who would be Jay's rival. There's much to come on Friday. TBC 🦷🪥
🌶️ Wang Zhan's blonde friend Ian is hot 🥵 but in a good way 😋 comes to be Duzhi's rival. Nothing's new in a typical love triangle, but we get Wang Zhan motivated into studying from both men to seriously take over the family business.
I'm happy to see the progress of Yi Qing and Jing He and their back story.
I don't expect much. I just like the development of relationships in each of the couples, and I continue to enjoy the eye candies. 😍
I like the end result with a happy ending. This finale episode shows me three different kinds of love approaches from three men. Jaemin is a psychotic and manipulative senior to Da On. He's crazy to stab himself with a butter-knife and he risks both Da On and his own life attempting to set them on fire.
Kim Suhyeon is a hot temper, impulsive coward who could not be direct with his feelings for Da On. It's just too bad his love was not brave enough to protect Da On. Stepping back from Jaemin's attack proves he is not worthy of Da On.
Ju Seong Hyeon is a perfect match for Da On. He genuinely likes and cares for Da On's well being. He was true to his words and actions, and took that stab from Jaemin for Da On. He not only physically protected Da On and worry about his wound, he wanted to protect Da On's dream. He encouraged Da On to participate in the Du Bai project.
I like everything about this series. While watching the last episode, I was hoping that Seong Hyeon's grandmother would meet Da On in the hospital. She was a nice supporter of Seong Hyeon's pursuit of love. She should have a chance to meet her grandson-in-law.
I am always happy for a Happy Ending. I like and approve. 👏👏👏👏👏
Beside the hype about the praise for a live adaptation, the actors and the visuals, I am mainly drawn to this non school or college bl drama. Also similar to Promise and Spare Me Your Mercy, I enjoy watching the bl series with mature male main characters.
The first two episodes got me interested in the plot. I'll watch more to see how the chemistry work out for the actors.
Would this be the enemies to lovers trope? I've not seen the novel so I'm not expecting much but I'll take whatever comes.
This is mainly about a city dweller adapting to survive in the woods for three months then falling in love. And what a stark difference for him going from a rock star to being a park ranger. Another difference for him is seeing his mentor uncle Hem turning into a lover. I've never been bothered by the age gap in relationships. So I won't mind it.
The plot seems predictable. Regardless, I'm going to give this series a chance since I've seen that the cute Fifa reminding me of a young Kim Soo Hyun.
I'm back on the up and down roller coaster ride because of Seong Hyeon and Da On.
The cliffhanger leaves me suspecting it's either Suhyeon or Jaemin. We still don't know exactly what Suhyeon's secret plan is for the TF conference. Was he planning on sabotaging Da On's project presentation?
Or the mysterious person in black could be Jaemin who pretends to leave. But that could be his ploy to abduct Da On and no one would suspect him for Da On's disappearance.
Since most comments are the obvious things seen in episode 2, then has anyone suspected that Tonkla feign ignorance of Tong's news of vampires and also he's not sick? I'm also sure that Miss Nuan, head of the orphanage, already knows about Tong's special blood and about Mark who had left the guitar for Tong.
I also noted that Mark had mentioned twice now that he knows everything about Tong for the past 20 years. So I assume Mark was the mysterious vampire who picked up baby Tong off the wheat field. Then he sent Tong to the orphanage to be raised by humans. I could be wrong with that speculation. I'm thrown off by my curiosity since when did Lady Thara assigned Mark as Tong's guardian. And my last assumption about the woman running away with baby Tong. She was not the biological relative but could be Tong's kidnapper. As a guardian, Mark killed that person to protect Tong. But since vampire should not kill human, then could the kidnapper be a vampire as well?
IDK for real, all the above are my guesses base on what I've seen from the two episodes.
Ep 18 - "You make my heart flutter so much how could I hate you" Ep 19 - "I understand what 'Special' means now" Ep 20 - "Love is feeling so damn happy when I see him rejecting someone else to be with me" Ep 22 - "I couldn't take my eyes off you" it's "Because I've been feeling it for a long time."
Faifa always says the last words and kisses before the end of each episode leaving us viewers feeling fluffy and wanting next week to come sooner.
I mean let’s all making this series get so much attention so that any other company will turn their head and…
Someone mentioned in an earlier episode that some of the people in the production team here are also the makers of "I Told the Sunset About You" and "Promise You the Moon". This team of producers is commendable for generating quality bl series.
I especially like to commend the cinematographer Tang Tawanwad Wanavit. He is the main talent who has background experiences to bring us amazing features. I had a brief view of #HATETAG, his previous work. He filmed texts and messages of cyber bullying on social media through the screens of mobiles, computers, laptops and such which are similar to Gelboys using mobile phones.

Ep 20 - "Love is feeling so damn happy when I see him rejecting someone else to be with me"
