as per usual the shining star is Nhai, dude is so funny n cute (hard to get annoyed at the rest) not that it means i didn't notice the b.s (ノω<。)ノlike that convo with Jaonan - him more or less admitting to having Rajin followed, n Ai's surveilled. seriously?!? having a mature talk with ur son - no. paying people to surveil his every move or interaction between him n his mother - that's more logical - to whom?!? let alone the keeping secrets between him n Nhai (from Ai) is just yucky n not a healthy approach to building a trusting relationship. ********************************************************************************oh whatever one more and the end (which in-spite of really enjoying this cause of Nhai) still will be thankful off. cause really he can carry this crap-show just that far, let alone he not the only one here`(*>﹏<*)′ n i have to suffer through Ai trying to jump his bones at every turn ＞﹏＜ which to me is a total turn off. ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but have to point out that i also liked Nhai's bff's - the 3 guys r as cute as him and their group interactions were usually fun to watch. but then we get the weird side stories (that didn't amount to anything) n am left wondering WTF the writer, producer, director were thinking(?) n why hint at something that came to nothing ＞︿＜. u could focus on the mains, but even that felt all over the place ¯\(°_o)/¯ confused at the thought process behind this BL's production...

time n again Chen Nhai is the saving grace of this crap pile of a BL, cause of this character am sticking till the bitter end (as know he gonna end up with Ai `(*>﹏<*)′) he is hilarious, sweet, fun, wholesome, adorable, good looking n just a joy to watch, childish antics n all. so enjoyed how he dealt with that "mother", but loved even more his taking her dumpling's n eating them in the park ヾ(≧▽≦*)o ****************************************************************************************************************having said all this, don't get WHY Ai stayed in the room instead of facing his sister. why he avoiding a confrontation with her?!? when she was sick (him trying to engage in any type of "showdown" telling her about their mother) that wasn't the time or the place. but now that she's fine, can't he hash things out ¯\(°_o)/¯ make it clear that their mother might be a great mother to her, but she used n hurt him(!) and he doesn't want anything to do with her. *******************************************************with all due respect to his promise to Jaonan (whom i don't respect ￣へ￣) he needs to keep her out of his life, for his own sake - not cause of some promise and as the sister unknowingly is being used by the mother to get at him - Ai should explain that he needs to cut ties with her too. this hard? he rather send Nhai to deal?!? meeh - me No like! *************************************** ****************************************************************************************************************************************side note - will keep repeating this FACT, Chen Nhai Doesn't look like Jaonan(!!!) not up close n Not from afar - character's repeating this b.s line DOESN'T make it the truth - we got eye's

this is the 1st ep i genuinely felt sorry for Ai, sorry but that whole mess was the adult's fault! specifically Sip & Jaonan fault!!! i can't say Ai's biological mother is a good person (after what she told her douche of a husband) but considering how sick her daughter was, i get her lying n tricking Ai into thinking she was forced out, robbed of being his mother. most people would do anything in desperation - not saying it was ok, but i get why she did what she did. *************************************************on the other hand, Sip & Jaonan were down right moronic, instead of talking to Ai understanding his anger n confusion. they were trying to school him about respect?!? they deserved better, why? he is the child in this equation, not them - and yet their ego's came first?!? they rather support each other, then be there for their child in a time of distress?!? what ur only a worth child when u fall in-line n kiss ass?!? *************************************************************************************************then these moron's rather let him go off with a conniving evil woman (they knew was up to no good) instead of talking it out like adult's, taking the time to explain the situation even apologizing for lying to him - clamming him down n most importantly keeping him safe, with them. but NO(!) their hurt ego's came first ¯\(°_o)/¯ really?!? n then they didn't even care to search for him. just sat around waiting for him to contact them?!? (ノω<。)ノ*****************************************************************why they any better then the harpy of a mother n her new abusive hubby?!? seeing Ai begging for forgiveness, at Jaonan feet was the last straw for me (╬▔皿▔)╯am utterly disgusted by his "father's" they as bad as his "mother" - poor Ai...**************** ****************************************************************************************************************************************the ending was kinda hilarious - i guess as until now it's been mostly smooth sailing for the main pair, we get this pointless "intervention" whatever ( •̀ ω •́ )✧ n sorry but idk who has an eye problem, constantly comparing Chen Nhai to Jaonan is an insult - looks of otherwise they Don't Not alike in any way shape or form ￣へ￣

this plot is bad (doesn't mean am hurting) as totally enjoying anything to do with Nhai (well when Ai not around ( ˘︹˘ ) salivating all over him). Nhai's father is funny n great that he's openminded. but(!) he shouldn't have been so gracious towards Ai (sorry, but with all the preaching about how u should always respect ur elders, we get in these Asian drama's/BL's) i think trying to 'get it on' in the car in-front of ur partner's parents house (especially when we talking in a small country village) is totally disrespectful, let alone getting naked (even top half) in the house of said elder, when u haven't even bothered to introduced ur-thirsty ass, to him - tactless (╬▔皿▔)╯so sitting in bed naked knowing Nhai's father was about to come in, was just rude. i wouldn't happily accept this uneducated moron with open arm's ¯\(°_o)/¯ but ignoring that, Nhai's father was funny. one can see how Nhai has come to be (●ˇ∀ˇ●), he totally a chip off the old block.ヾ(≧▽≦*)o even Nhai's childish tantrum's were hysterical to me (but i'm all for anyone who will make Ai's life miserable) not that it ever lasts`(*>﹏<*)′ n we keep getting Ai drooling over Nhai at every turn ＞﹏＜ ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the rest of this plot not much better; we got Song acting coy with Intha, n the "drama" one would think what backstory u got there. as if someone stopping him from confessing, plz could care less ￣へ￣ then we get the weird whatever is going on with Chonlathee, does he know Tonhon?!? why he avoiding him, n now acting coy (another one （︶^︶）). and then Nine & FM, n the only thought i've got about them is WTF, why this starting off at this late date? heck why not wait for the last ep ( •̀ ω •́ )✧ ******************************************************************************************************************************************n Ai, his mother n sister situation - leave his mother being bad for using her daughter to get at her son. shouldn't the older sibling know better, n not take out his anger at his mother on a clueless younger sister?!? either explain things to her. tell her the truth about ur mother or be a mean ass n break things off with her. so she won't be used by her mother. but this why i don't like Ai (ノω<。)ノ

this hasn't turned boring, more disgusting IMHO ( ˘︹˘ ) I really don't like Ai, n i like even less the writers/production people that thought this a good enough screenplay to produce. i get (watching enough Thai BL's) that the most important thing in producing one; the only thing that matters, finding good-looking young actors, that r desperate for work/recognition, n r willing to do anything(!), specifically strip n portray inmate scenes without qualms. unquestionably following orders from the people in power, so they can cultivate some sort of career/future for themselves. *********************************************these BL's have ceased to be (if they ever were) romcom worthy, they all (different levels of) erotica - their only goal is to titillate n make their audience salivate.... so little wonder acting skills, let alone a logical, commonsensical plot is the last thing that's important or even makes the list, when planning a BL production, n this is the result. (yeah there odd one's out but they few n far between). *******************************************************************************************************************just know that seeing an 18 yr old manipulated into a relationship that is lust based - finding ample reasons to give him 'sponge baths' at every turn, as if seeing his 11yr old chest is 'getting anyone off' - n the ones that r 'getting off' on that view... `(*>﹏<*)′ ****************************************************************************************************************************************so Ai being Bi is neither here nor there - his suddenly getting those Cacti from his sister(?) when he's supposedly been in Canada for over 7-8 yrs. where she come from n why that scene take place in his condo?!? logic anyone hear of it? nah right?!? ￣へ￣ but that's the theme/plot of this BL and i am the only one complaining - what's new ヾ(≧ ▽ ≦)ゝ 5 more to go ＞︿＜

well i aint a happy camper, aint elated that Nhai finally folded (yeah it was obvious to anyone that he was jealous of the girls around Ai). u could notice it in the previous ep, when Ai went off to take a call from a mysterious girl n disappeared for hrs.still not happy that Nhai finally gave in to all the manipulation and Ai's empty promises (uni students that have just started their lives, for sure don't know about "ever-after's" so making any type of long term promises, r doomed to fall flat). n lets not forget that a sec ago Ai was a freakin player (that was the image he was rocking when in Canada), but suddenly after hooking-up with Nhai, the player's ready to settle down - really? ok (⓿_⓿) ****************************************************************either way the sex scene was uncomfortable to watch (this time as it was the 1st time around), so redundant to point out, fast-forwarded that`(*>﹏<*)′ Nhai's built like a preteen, so anyone feeling him up ＞﹏＜ makes me cringe, so HARD pass***************************************************************************************************************************************************also really don't like seeing Ai's dad - all his advise n scenes be in vain (as i keep remembering Bright from Together with Me （*゜ー゜*）) n if that wasn't enough, we get some weird side plot with "Mr. Song" like WTF was that with Jida plotting / targeting Intha of all people, why?!? i just can't with this mess (ノω<。)ノ

get that almost everyone in the comment section, gaga over Ai's looks (or the dude playing him( ˘︹˘ )) and that's why they keep bad-mouthing Nhai's character. otherwise idk how someone can write the thing they do about Nhai, cause if u use ur eye's, brains - u can't logically think the one in the right is, Ai ¯\(°_o)/¯ *********************************************************************Ai might be (if u don't notice the underlining self-serving motivated actions) a great bf (on paper(* ￣︿￣)), but his every action is manipulative n meant to herd Nhai into accepting n conceding/falling in-line with his wants n needs. why he not the selfish one?!? and yet Nhai is constantly badmouthed?!? just cause he is unsure n confused about what he feels about Ai, cause he isn't sure he's ready to be in a relationship with a man - why this so hard to accept or understand?!? **********************************sex n commitment aint the same - who needs to understand this basic statement?!? just cause ur blinded by lust, doesn't mean the sec after u orgasm, u won't/don't regret ur action sec's before, it for sure doesn't mean u want to be in a relationship with the person u got off with(ノω<。)ノlike how jaded am i, that i get this basic human fact?!?`(*>﹏<*)′ *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************n really getting tired of the disgusting liquid courage trope, where Nhai has no inhibitions n can't be held accountable (logically) for his actions. maybe that's his subconscious coming to the fore - and yet anyone after the 1st time would think better then to go along, considering the outcome after the 1st hook-up. why should this time be different?!? cause this the 2nd time?!? this stoopid, infantile behavior on both the writers n the sober character's part ( •̀ ω •́ )✧ just annoying me

this ep was 44 mins and even though, wont lie n say am riveted by what's happening on screen, i aint bored either. yes a majority of this is filler, but i like Nhai's quirky, innocent dialogue. n love even more that he's giving Ai a tough time - he for sure doesn't make things easy for the dude, but considering Ai's constant manipulation, i could care less. *****************************that's also why, i kinda don't get comments finding fault with Nhai - yeah he's a spoilt, lazy brat, but he's not a narcissist(!), he isn't playing or manipulating Ai - if anything he keeps pushing him away, cause he isn't sure and he rather not start anything he can't follow through. who is acting more like a mature adult? ironically it's Nhai. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Ai's just give me ur heart n i will do anything for u, or the reason ur ex's broke up with u is cause women like to be taken care off, etc... b.s dialogue is just that b.s - YES at the start of every relationship, one half or the other is so blindly in-love they willing to accept anything n everything, just so the other person will be with them. but once the honeymoon phase passes (which is does) then suddenly, they can't/won't live with/ ignore/find cute the same idiosyncrasies they found adorable/livable with, at the start of the 'ship' - so repeat again - who is the logical one here? ****************************************************************Nhai, he isn't motivated by lust or attraction, he rather keep a friend - then lose his heart and then see Ai waking up to the reality (down the road) that he can't accept Nhai's eccentricities, cause the the shine has worn off his feelings/their 'ship'.

read a comment that was criticizing Nhai. usually would be on the same page, as am tired of watching the uke taking on the role of spoilt princess, that's incapable of doing a thing without a ton of hand holding n emotional support from the Seme... BUT(!) i can't fault Nhai even a little in this BL. yeah he's a lazy, spoilt brat - but he is who he's proclaimed to be, from the start. and even if u accept growth - he has pointed out on more then one occasion - he's confused(!) unsure of his feelings about Ai(!!) let alone about if he's ready to be in a relationship with a man(!!!). and yet Ai keeps manipulating the situation and Nhai, going out of his way to mollycoddle Nhai (not to just show he care's). but that's also his way of making Nhai that much more dependent on him, making his potential loss (the loss of his presence n friendship)that much greater - this manipulation 101 ¯\(°_o)/¯(ノω<。)ノso as far as i'm concerned, Nhai can keep giving Ai's a hard time *************************************************btw Ai using sexual manipulation aint any better - Nhai (heck it's doesn't matter if we talking male or female) will lose their mind for a sec, get distracted, when they "feeling" good, n even if their brain is screaming Stop! they can't, until they do - that doesn't make them 'the bad-guy' or a tease, just human￣へ￣. and Ai the experienced dude, knows exactly what the hell he is doing and this (still) a healthy, encouraging, inspiring relationship ?!? not IMHO *************************************************** ****************************************************************************************************************************************side note - the idiotic cliché of using a group of nosy females is getting old. even if those girls were 10 yrs old, they wouldn't be that obvious n oblivious to how they look - that not cute or funny. stop using females as filler to fluff-up a non-existent plot ( ˘︹˘ ) u got Nhai's 3 guy friends - do something with them ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

i'ma be the odd one out (what's new＞﹏＜) before anything will admit the subs not being 100% makes me unsure as how concerned or disdainful my POV should be. yet having said this, if Chen Nhai wasn't an utter airhead, that's too naïve for his own good - wouldn't feel this uncomfortable with how things unfolded. ***********************************************************but all this aside i really, Really - REALLY(!!!) wish thai BL's just STOPPED with the b.s plotline of drunken sex. it might be a reality for some, but showing this or making this a pivotal plot point for the mains to not only hook-up, but start any type of healthy (root-worthy) 'ship' is ridiculous, a bad farce of a love-story ¯\(°_o)/¯ it for sure doesn't normalize sh*t ￣へ￣ this still a crime *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************am really loving this cause of Chen Nhai, his acting might not be on-point but he (Krittanun) is 18, so for a newbie he is really good. but cause of this n everything i've mentioned above, there is a clear power imbalance (given Ai has more experience as a character, let alone the actor 23), from the word go Ai targeted Chen Nhai; approaching him with one goal in mind. him being the more sober one, he should've known better then to keep going n not stop in bed or afterwards - when manipulating a confused Chen Nhai, then pushing him mentally (using his admission of not wanting to lose Ai as a friend) to get what he wants - so unlike everyone else (that i noticed) i aint happy at how this ep turned out. this not healthy in the least, also considering Ai stalking Chen Nhai this even toxic `(*>﹏<*)′

in-spite of the subs being all over the place `(*>﹏<*)′ i really enjoyed this（￣︶￣）↗(mainly cause of Chen Nhai) the actor playing him is so funny, he's taking the airhead character to a new level - he's adorable, naïve, cute n really funny (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) (given he's a newbie) am really impressed from what we got in the 1st ep. ****************************************************************the rest is more or less a guessing game, as the subs feel off, n this makes understanding what's being said a 'guessing game'. so thankful that the friend group dynamic was easier to figure out - no guessing needed there. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: someone mentioned Ai's father being a looker (more fitted for role of brother then father) n as i tend to read the comments before watching the ep, was wondering if i would think the same ￣へ￣ then saw Apiwat from Together with Me (the dreaded Bright Farm disaster of a 'ship') n cringed＞﹏＜ nothing against the actor, but his character there was revolting ヾ(≧ ▽ ≦)ゝ*************************************************************************************************************************also happy to see Thanatorn again (saw him in Nitiman) hope his character get's a more healthy 'ship' in this BL

so 'future' Kosuke didn't come back from the future, he popped-back in time cause he slipped n fell?!? ok ＞︿＜ a bit of a reach - but lets go with it... n as he's back he thought what else i gotta do, but go check-out my younger self n see things unfold as a spectator?!? **************************************************************************************************************************then why approach ur younger self? why plant seeds of terror about magically losing his looks, the sec he turns 30(?) why keep sounding ominous, as if his life is gonna go down the drain with his looks?!? could keep going with the WHY's... but will change to How's - how the frack an old dude that's popped back in time without money, identification, clothes etc... go about life in the past without looking like a homeless man? where he get money for food (let alone the Sake he brought from his (Kosuke's mother)? where he sleep? where he get his clothes from?.... bottom line this doesn't make much sense - ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************this was cute, but there too many plothole's for this to be good IMHO. if this was kept simple maybe it would've been better idk - but as is too many WTF moments. get given the ending where Kosuke & Sanada (in the present confess their love) promise to start dating when Sanada get's back from her interview. (add to that the fact) she's still meeting n having a drinks with Kosuke in the future in the couple beer mugs they made - it's a happy ending and yet it was left so vague, that i donno how i feel. ***********************************************************************************************************************************************will say that i really appreciate Ichinose & Kaburagi they for sure lightened the mood a lot (not that Kosuke didn't have his own hilarious bit's) so thankful that until the end there was some funny scenes, that didn't make this too tedious a watch.

1st off Kosuke wasn't the one who lied to Sanada, 'future' Kosuke was the one who opened his mouth and introduced himself as "Maruya Kosuke's father" after that Kosuke couldn't do anything - what could he say (considering he was having a heated conversation with him when Sanada saw them). tell her the truth?!? *************************************************************** but i do agree with other commenter's that 'future' Kosuke is suspect (idk if he's an imposter, as he has too much inside info about Kosuke, not to be who he says he is) But until this sec (at the end) he's always refrained from intervening/getting involved/helping Kosuke cause he said he couldn't change the future - so why's he getting involved now? why stop his younger self - this goes against what he's been saying until now - so agree, the dude shady n not to be trusted! *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************know that people who r good-looking, the thought of losing that can be disconcerting, maybe even scary like when people get old - but as usually this a gradual processes, u don't wake up old or ugly, u get used to the change's of time with time. saying this cause, guess this is the reason Kosuke keeps heeding his future self. as we won't wanna shoot ourselves in the foot - we would wanna help ourselves, logical. and yet hard to trust the older Kosuke, as his actions make it seem like he wants to shoot himself in the foot - weird ¯\(°_o)/¯(ノω<。)ノ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************this is the first ep where u truly see Sanada, why she's so cold n distant with that overbearing brother. have a feeling her father is much the same - know Kosuke wasn't thinking, just relived that they were sibling's not ex's. but he should've read the room - he was over stepping n Sanada took out the anger she has bottled up, on him

before anything have to point out, that i take back my uneasy about Ichinose and Kaburagi, thankfully they aint shady or suspect as i assumed - they just extra for comedy. been wanting to point this of for a while, but other stuff takes precedence when writing a comment `(*>﹏<*)′ ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************didn't get why Kosuke kept treating this as a one n only date, but glad Sanada took the reins and talked things out, making Kosuke come clean about his true feeling's too. that was a much better outcome then how things where going cause of Kosuke ****************************************************************************************************************************************btw still don't get what the real relationship between Sanada & Sudo is. keep going back n forth (as 3 more ep's to go wonder if the complication is gonna come from this front).
