I was prepared to not like episode 12 and yes there were still the subtitle issues (mostly in the first clip again)…
I didn’t expect the complete 180 of North’s mom! Like, damn! Her fear of losing her son really awoke in her the fact that she could lose her son for real (even though he was faking- LOL WTF, I didn’t see that coming either). I want some definitive answers on ArmTen and IndyJedi because their relationships have the most incomplete stories. Also, I want to see MaiWan move past their uneasy feelings because of the whole OngsahNorth issue in the middle of them.
And yes, the volleyball team’s storyline had way too much time spent on it. I know their story is tangential to North’s, but it really didn’t need that much screen time.
I loved that forth wall break in the special scenes at the end where North said that Indy and Jedi better clear the air between them because the series is almost over and they don’t want to make their fan club sad. I got a good giggle over that :)
OMG, I am totally in love with the chemistry between Tin and Sea. It’s so sensitive, emotional, and lovely that I don’t know how to react half the time. Sea showing Tin how to “enjoy life” as he does in the simple way is so heartwarming because it helps to break down more walls between them. I didn’t get the same feel when Sea is learning how to be “a real GFC kid” because that whole arrangement is prefaced on teaching guitar in exchange and being paid.
That being said, I am mentally tanked trying to figure out It’s deal. It seems to be more than just him feeling uncomfortable because one of his male friends secretly confessed to liking him. Everything he does seems to be linked to being possessive, if not jealous, of anything Tin does or anyone new he is around. Seems like everyone is calling it as a repressed attraction to Tin. We’ll see. I’m more curious to see how he and Voice continue to interact. Voice doesn’t seem like a complete hooligan or “yes man” like the rest of It’s followers/friends.
I can’t really say much about Tan and Oil because their connection is so deep and linked with a shared family history and childhood. Let’s see how the introduction of Khunpon and Khun shakes things up.
This is actually one of my most anticipated series of the many I’m watching. I only wish it was officially subbed now or there was one guaranteed fansubber. I basically check once every 2 weeks (?) to see if there’s a new episode subbed floating around.
Okay, so I’m hella confused after episode 6. The whole episode...
They made it seem like Shake is dead? I really hope he’s not, because there is nothing I can’t stand more than the “bury your gays” trope. So over that. I hope the end where Ken sees Shake is because maybe he went away to sort himself out? Or maybe he spent the last six weeks in a coma or something?
I hope Sandee continues to work her behind off making up for her spiteful jealousy that caused so much trouble. I’m having a hard time getting over what she did and also the reaction of the mother. I guess when you’re LGBT, it seems to odd that other people would have a hard time understanding/accepting their own CHILD is LGBT because you’re supposed to love your children unconditionally. But, hopefully the mom will come through.
But, what’s going on with Ken’s and Sandee’s brothers? I’m intrigued! Their “bromance” or whatever is really cute and I wasn’t expecting it.
Fingers crossed for some real answers in the last two episodes!
Not to be one of “those” people, but I just feel like...
Greg and Axel have spent the entire 5 episodes so far just on the verge of tears or actually crying. It would be nice to see another expression on their faces. They look like they’re in permanent agony. I mean, I understand their situation is not a pleasant one, but- like, not even a little bit of smiles when speaking with their friends or anything? Their character development is painfully slow, and I find both characters a bit unsympathetic because Greg sucks for dating his best friend while knowing he is still with his original boyfriend (two-timing). Axel, while not as bad, still comes across as “foolish in love” because he is desperately clinging to Greg even though his doubts about Greg’s feelings for him are enormous. Please guys, just break up and move on. MAYBE your friendship can be spared (I wouldn’t count on it, though).
I have my fingers crossed that the next episode will move the series in a new direction at the introduction of a possible new love interest for Axe in the upcoming preview.
Okay, okay, OKAY! Yes, the subtitling is horrendous, and the overall pacing of the storylines (many) is messy,…
Since the show is called “So Much in Love”, the love stories are the most important themes to which I pay attention.
Indy/Jedi love each other deeply, and almost lost their relationship over misplaced jealously/misunderstanding involving a female friend. They are working their way back to each other while dealing with other real-life issues (Indy’s sister dying).
Mai/Wan are lovers who appear to be all into the hot and heavy, but when it comes down to it, they love each other dearly, and Mai would do anything for his “wife” (as he refers to Wan as). They work to focus on each other while caring about the well-being of their close friends and their club mates (Wan’s volleyball teammates and their issues).
And of course, the main love story is Ongsah/North, who meet each other when North was a disembodied spirit when he was in a vegetative state after almost drowning. They become friends and then fall in love. After North’s spirit returns to his body, they have to work to regain their love while dealing with North’s homophobic mother and the issues of their friends.
Pretty much everything else in the show is either related to Ongsah/North’s story, or it’s filler. The Wanjeab volleyball club and their issues stem from North’s mother because she’s still bitter because her husband left her for another man. She’s basically taking out her personal problems on others. The coaches and their stories don’t really add anything to the overall show’s plot. And while I appreciate the inclusion of a GL storyline (Indy’s friend and her ex-girlfriend/now girlfriend again), it is so brief and underdeveloped that it might as well not have been attempted.
The story of Arm/Ten as flirtatious friends and (potential?) lovers was only brushed on earlier in the series then basically abandoned, which is sad because they seemed like cute characters.
LONG story short, the show’s overall theme is “deep love with obstacles”. I really wished that the production of the show and the writing/storyboard organization was better because this series had so much more potential. But I still love it because it has lots of feel-good moments and it does deal with a lot of issues that real LGBTQ people have to face.
Okay, okay, OKAY! Yes, the subtitling is horrendous, and the overall pacing of the storylines (many) is messy, and the acting of North’s mom and Ken is cringy (to put it nicely), and there’s too many characters, and a whole host of other issues. BUT! I really love this show, LOL! I basically cherry-pick what I pay attention to and the rest I kind of filter out. I guess I’ll summarize my “outline” of the show below in a spoiler:
I may have posted how I liked the pace and defended this but... gosh. It's really becoming harder to watch. Marc…
I came here to see if anyone felt the same. I haven’t read the book, but the show is seeming to drag on very badly. I like the work the actors are doing, and it’s not their fault. I’m keeping with the show because I’m genuinely interested in the story and also I love Fiat and JJ as actors. Let’s hope they kick things into high gear since episode 8 appears to be the start of the university timeline.
Very cute first episode! Cute cast as well hahaI’m watching quite a few series but my favorites rn: Cherry Magic/30sai…
You hit all my favorites on the head, especially Cherry Magic. That show is FIRE! Best thing I’ve watched all year so far besides Gameboys (which was good, but these two shows are incredibly different). I hope it continues to be amazing, which it seems like it will.
Anyway, this show here has had a very nice first episode. Good first impression.
I love the strong development the show has done with each character and why they are the way they are. Watee is based on his mother’s passing, but as time passes, we can see that is genuinely a good hearted person whose grief makes him come across as cold. Maytee seems like just a scared, silly nutcase, but deep down he is really traumatized by the way his mother disciplined him as a child. Teedo is comes across as a ladies man, but in reality is afraid of letting someone in to see how much his fear of chewing sounds are. After all, eating together is something most couples do, right? Growing up in a house full of musicians caused epic sound pollution and a lasting impact of irritation and frustration for poor Teedo. I’m looking forward to see the development of Maitee and T-Rex. They have mostly been support with a little sprinkling in of their stories so far.
My theories so far:
Maitee is afraid of good news so much probably because he got news in the past that seemed good that turned out horribly (like someone just went to the doctor for a bad headache, was told it was nothing and then died from a brain tumor, something like that). And now with his mother being gravely ill, that’s bound to be a traumatic situation.
T-Rex’s story is the most mysterious to me. I have suspicions that he is related to Watee somehow, like perhaps his brother. It’s obvious they were looking for a hair from Watee, probably for a DNA test. Also, the fact that Watee and T-Rex have the exact same name is very strange.
Anyway, I thought this show would be just a bunch of laughs, but it has shown a depth that I truly did not expect. Each week, being able to connect with each character has been sweet. Definitely a surprise that I’m looking forward to seeing how it will conclude.
i hate Judah for discriminate bisexsual people ((#Φ益Φ#)) hopefully he end up alone if he didn't learn to accept…
I don’t think Judah was being discriminatory against bisexual people. I think he was upset because he felt Rocky wanted to label himself as bisexual because some people use it as a “gray area”- basically admitting you like the same sex but not willing to step out of heterosexuality altogether. He’s implying that Rocky shouldn’t use bisexuality as a shield if he is in fact, actually gay (no attraction to women at all).
I actually liked that Judah said that because it’s frustrating the way people handle bisexuality. Some straight people think it’s just a cop-out, and some gay people think it’s an unwillingness to “choose a side”. Some people actually DO have genuine romantic and sexual attention to both sexes.
And yes, the volleyball team’s storyline had way too much time spent on it. I know their story is tangential to North’s, but it really didn’t need that much screen time.

Hope everyone else enjoys this as much as I do!
I hope Sandee continues to work her behind off making up for her spiteful jealousy that caused so much trouble. I’m having a hard time getting over what she did and also the reaction of the mother. I guess when you’re LGBT, it seems to odd that other people would have a hard time understanding/accepting their own CHILD is LGBT because you’re supposed to love your children unconditionally.
