i wanna write cute 1st ep, but the way Phupha ghosted Nanfah someone who isn't just a childhood close friend, but someone he has a crush on, really rubbed me the wrong way. at the end there, i wanted Nan to punch Phu the sec he saw him, especially given the smile of recognition - like r u kidding(!) be ashamed - show remorse, something then act like u didn't just ghost ur bff for over a decade, while u were still in the country - like WTF! ********************************************************************* on a whole this was cute & the childhood yrs were sweet, seeing them get closer & then support each other when Phu lost his father. let alone seeing how Phu developed a crush pretty soon after meeting Nan. so seeing how he ghosted him afterwards makes me angry, as i can't see any way to justify his sudden disappearance. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: having suffered from insomnia most of my life, i get Nan & yet him having the lights on, staring at the celling is the wrong way to go. even if u can't sleep close ur eye's make sure there r no distractions & try to clear ur head/mind - even if u can't, just the fact u r with ur eye's close & body relaxed, u will have the strength to deal with a new day in-spite the lack of sleep. the way Nan is going, his body is still active & this will make it harder throughout the day to maintain enough energy to get through it...

what the hell did i just watch.. OMG but this ep was a wild ride, from Tontae reaching Taiwan only to be told that Victor died & then to come back home heartbroken to find out Nan Krai met a similar fate - talk about cruel. that was crazy & the guys that worked with Nan Krai blaming Tontae was just rubbing salt on his wounds - talk over kill & when he gets to regress he is the one to (sacrificed) die??? like what!!! *************************************************************************************************in Nan Krai's case i kinda get the logic, where u could in a roundabout way say; that Tontae turning back time would keep him alive, if he chose never to get involved with Victor & then to go visit him. but in Victor's case it doesn't apply as it was his destiny to died (however he did). his falling in-love & getting involved with Tontae had little to nothing to do with his death - so the sacrifice is....?!? don't get it *******************************************************************************************************but great acting, Tontae freakin broke my heart & i didn't think i would be crying my eyes out in the last ep - not considering the amount of eye rolling i've been doing watching this BL. but cute all in all & still say that this would've been a much better romance between Tontae & Nan Krai - maybe if the plot was changed into a romcom with a tourist falling for a local, it would work with the Taiwanese twin. but as is, the main romance fell flat IMO & only the tragedy & Tontae acting gave any gravitas to the mains romance.

like i've been saying the chemistry between Tontae & Nan Krai is just banging... their love for each other is evident & seeing how much Nan Krai cares for Tontae was soul crushing, cause nothing is gonna come of it. really wished he didn't kiss him at that moment, i assumed Tontae's reaction would be more explosive. thankfully his reaction was to finally understand Nan Krai's confession & his rejection was so heartbreaking, but sweet. ***************************************************************** i get not wanting to give up when u have spent the better part of youth loving someone, but u got rejected directly & indirectly so many times. holding on will only hurt u - so i wish he put his mind to letting Tontae go. *****************************************this was the 1st ep in a while where i really enjoyed myself as there wasn't the broken communication or the annoying Somo. but that's coming to an end in the next ep ugh... but only 2 more ep's to go

all the scenes between the mains, feel like a travel promotional vid, where u see the village it's costumes & cultural, the tourist sights & cuisine... the romance isn't skin deep & that's why i am thankful that the most we get from them r hot kisses (& that's cause Tontae can kiss & is very comfortable in his skin - Hsia En looks uncomfortable in the NC scenes IMO). btw mentioning Hsia En, i was wondering if his twin is also in this BL & i have a sneaky suspicion that they both playing Victor (maybe there scene which one wasn't ready to perform, while the other was comfortable with...) as Hsia En got a beauty mark on his right cheek, near his mouth & that isn't always there. ************************************************************************************anyway hope now that Victor has left this get's interesting cause i was bored out ot my mind & was hanging on just to see how this is gonna get concluded. **********************************************************************************************************side note: Somo is annoying the heck out of me & the guys that work with Nan Krai r getting added to the list - shouldn't it be bros before ho's?!?? & here they were ready to cast a love spell on him just cause she's annoying & they can't tell her to f*ck off?? Not funny!

this whole ep felt like filler, i am NOT interested in anything the mains have to say to each other, cause they don't say anything - it's a lot of fluff & really wish they would've just dubbed Victor. having to listen to the nonsensical conversations r doing my head in, it's beyond cringe - heck it's down right stupid & annoying to watch. & their NC scene was so meeh. yeah they can kiss & make-out but it didn't move me cause there's no substance there. & i get the actors r trying but they just lack something & i aint buying that they already in-love. in lust more like - but like i mentioned in the previous ep Tontae & Nan Krai were like a volcano, while Tontae & Victor r not even a sparkler. such a bummer as i was rooting for Hsia En. ********************************& have to say the whole Somo character needs disappear into the background - cause she's freakin annoying & not funny IMO. the only one i cared to watch was Nan Krai, who was nursing his broken heart.

didn't expect this to get so emotional & know until now, have been lowkey annoyed at Nan Krai. but i felt so sad for him by the end. cause thinking about it, even if he had confessed to Tontae (way before Victor showed-up) they could never be together, as they r not destined to be & doubt u can fight destiny. so Tontae not understanding Nan Krai's confession is sad, but might be for the best, cause at least this way they can still be friends. ************************************************************************but Nan Krai saying he will wait even for 1% - idk what that means - but the waiting part is whack IMO & he should decide to move on, for his own heart - but people love making their lives harder, so it is what it is. *******************************************on the other hand, didn't feel sad or bad for Somo. her saying she tried hard... trying hard is one thing - but when u can see that the person ur in-love with, loves another - what is the point?!? & maybe just me, but the fact that the man i love loves another man, would make me stop dead in my tracks. cause i wouldn't take a chance at the possibility of him being Bi - i would assume he was gay, period. so i don't feel sad for her, not given how Nan Krai treated her. *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************regarding the mains, i have to say they cute & all, but the broken communication is getting tiresome & cringe to watch. there is zero depth to their conversing & the relationship is surface level at best. if this is taken at face value, where the plot wasn't a complex bond of fate, reincarnation & the like - & was just a tourist & local connecting, falling in-love. i wouldn't mind what we r getting. but given what the premises is, they falling short & given the mad chemistry between Tontae & Nan Krai (that erotic dream was steamy) i would rather watch a BL that was about them. i feel like it would be much more satisfying, let alone mature (& NO i don't mean in a X-rated way) as the mains, give of a very immature feel & if this was about teen love i would say "ok" but they adults & yeah.. ironically the mains r the ones that r the least interesting part of this BL cause of this. *************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: the erotic scene took me out, i so didn't expect it, not for it to be soo raw - it felt raw & too real. think what shocked me even more is the 180 Tontae went through, he such a goof ball i saw him more like a bumbling idiot in the sack that was all thumbs.. was in for one heck of a shock lol

Toru is such a sweetheart, loved how he shielded the kid from his friends ridicule & idk what surprised me more seeing Kishi having a personal chauffeur or the fact he had bumped into Toru n the past & that interaction left a lasting impression.. which i could guess at given the bad subs. but wont - will wait for the next ep & hope it's got enough visual info to clue me into understanding the dynamic between them.

Tontae & Victor got good chemistry, not that we over the cringe moments - have to look away from time to time but on a whole u can feel their budding feelings which is kinda cute. they also look good together. but given the fact Victor just there for a week - what happens of the fate that brought them together. Tontae gonna go into that cave to await his beloved for another few centuries? ************************************************************************************************************************in this ep did feel bad for Nan Krai, but not too much cause he again had an opportunity to tell Tontae who broke his heart. maybe it would be too late, but it's better then not saying anything & going mad as he is. *****************************************noticed Dan from the start or rather noticed the guys that r stuck to his side, guess they both interested & yet they don't mind this fact? they wanna share him???

this ep was a cringe fest, OMG but the 2nd hand embarrassment almost took me out. Tontae is too goofy & cringe but what somehow makes it worse is Victor going along with his behavior & encouraging him, by taking part in his antics. & i know that if he didn't then no BL. but still have to keep looking away cause they BOTH freakin cringe. but have to admit, Tontae's nose taking one hell of a beating was freakin hilarious, i laughed so much cause of him. *************************************************& in this ep Nan Krai annoyed me, yeah he made a 'date' with Tontae, but since he didn't show & u got a freakin cell - why not call?!??? i didn't get that at all. if Tontae hadn't forgotten, but was hurt or his mother was sick, wouldn't he appreciate his bff (in his eye's) coming to his aid?!? but nope, dude stuck in that lumber mill just glancing at that phone, like it's a crystal ball. so NO i didn't feel sorry for him, that he ended-up eating alone looking all sad - like plz. *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: Somo (the chick that's got a crush on Nan Krai) is such a character, personally i like Edream better, looks & personality wise.

cute 1st ep, liked the set-up.. even though already heart broken for the hunk = Nan Krai, wish he would've confessed when Tontae was pestering him about who his crush was. not that it would help, given Tontae's dream. ********************************these type of plot-lines always leaving me wondering, is the protagonist's love real or (as it was destined to be) they more like puppets on a string of fate, following their previous lives will to reunite.... maybe i am over thinking. either way Tontae might be impressed by Victor's looks, but in this 1st ep i didn't notice any chemistry or spark of something to come... they were civil like two strangers would be, nothing more. got me curious how this gonna develop. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: idk what shocked me more; finding out that Tontae playing Tontae is actually 37 in real life or that Victor played by Hsia En, is the Taiwanese actor that i remember seeing in the HiStory series, with his twin.

how ironic, i started this detesting Jimmy (& it's not that i love him now, but i don't actively hate him) not with Toh & Teh topping that list, like WTF... the way Teh is acting, i genuinely believe he "wants" Jimmy, dude is constantly thinking about & following him around, like a lost puppy. heck he cares more for him, then his own brother - he might say he cares for them equally - sorry family comes 1st & from where i am sitting Jimmy wasn't a good friend - period. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** & Fah (the ultimate power bottom) is the only sane/smart one in this BL - if i was him, i would've dropped Teh the sec i realized he was trying to setup his brother back with Jimmy. cause that tells me there's something not right with Teh's thought process & i donno if i would want to be in a relationship with someone that f*cked in the head, sorry not sorry, his priorities r messed up. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** really like the dentist & knew he is gonna get unnecessarily used & then tossed aside - meeh very cliché. heck maybe Fah can be with him. cause the more i watch this, the more immature Toh seems & now it's logical why he fell for an immature moron like Jimmy. if Toh was mature, he would've been candid with the Dentist (when he asked him the 2nd time to be his bf) & told him that he was getting over a recent break-up & he needed time, instead of playing coy -that's just annoying ! but we 2 eps from the end & "we" need to drag this out, so we get the "happily ever after" in the last ep. personally i don't feel there was enough time to see a growth in any character, for anyone to buy the sudden 180 with Jimmy, let alone Toh who was a doormat from the start, how/why he suddenly grow a backbone?? oh well i just hope they don't harm the cat - like a "boy who cried wolf" scenario - leave the cat of this mess thank U

Yushi is such a tease & that kiss was hot, unexpected too, so soon into the BL, let alone after the cold shoulder Yang Meng been giving Yushi. so guess the kiss is down to the alcohol - but i didn't get was that Yang Meng's imagination & the reason he stopped the kiss, cause he was worried his fantasy would come true?!? ************************************************************well what we didn't get with the mains, the 2nd couple supplied - but have to say the island boy (can't remember his name for the life of me) is so weird - hard for me to read him. he hinted that he & the blonde haired dude had a past, but nothing was mentioned after that, we didn't even get the blonde haired dude trying to recall from where... & it looks like the blonde haired dude not looking for anything but a good time, well that & Yushi - but Yushi not interested. *************************************** ****************************************************************************************************************************************this too short & idk why we getting the flashbacks, we get it Yang Meng had a crush on Yushi & Yushi never noticed him. this was covered in the previous ep. as this kinda short why use filler to waste precious time???

yippy happy ending... it was touch & go there at the start & i really didn't appreciate Xiao Bao having to beg & plead with Su Yin for Huai En's life. but everything worked out on the best side & ironically neither the mains nor Xiao Bao's father lost their lives. but the part i most rejoiced in was when General Li threw some much needed truth's in Huai En's "father's" face, not just about what he did to the woman he supposedly loved, but what he did to her son - that so needed to be said. also happy Xiao Bao stopped Huai En from going to see him one last time - that f*cker didn't deserve closure. ************************************the end was very sweet, love the small family they created with the guards & Xiao Bao's sister & laughed out loud at her constantly cockblocking Huai En tha was so wholesome & sweet. promise of happily ever after for the whole group not just the mains. *********************************************************************************************************************************this was good, i didn't expect to enjoy it as much as i did, for sure a rewatch

f*cking depressing ep - i couldn't see Su Yin turning into the main bad-guy of this BL. that was cruel what he did to both the mains, cause am sure he stole that pendant from Xiao Bao. as even if he isn't ready to admit it, he loves Huai En so much that he can't hate him & even though he keeps rejecting him until now, it's more cause of everything that's happened & everyone around him warning him off Huai En. so Xiao Bao can't bring himself to tell everyone, he loves Huai En & doesn't care what he did to him or his family. so Huai En finally getting the last crimson flower to cure him only to be left for death is depressingly sad IMO. & weirdly the eccentric doctor Que Si Ming is equally cruel, cause he helped prepper the trap for Huai En. ************on the other hand i found it ironic that Huai En's "father" got backstabbed by general Li - but loved that he put his straight & told him that he was the one at fault for Huai En's mother's death. someone needed to clue him into reality. personally i always wanted Huai En to tell him that if his mother was alive she would detest him for how he treated her child. delusional moron got the audacity to use her son like an attack dog to avenge her - bish plz **************************************************************for a while now i keep saying i have a feeling this gonna be a sad ending & i hope i am wrong. there still hope & a way to turn things around - but have a feeling i was right all along & the mains gonna end up dead. another tragic periodical C-BL. ugh

the King asked that a guard be attached to Huai En for his safety, where he at?!? what he waiting for? i would think he would've shown up when Su Yin stabbed Huai En, using Xiao Bao. & i get that Su Yin is gonna try & get rid of Huai En & make it seem like it was one of the others, that had come for the crimson flower. but still Huai En is royalty & higher ranking then him. so what if Huai En gave up on the position. he still the King's son - idk what Su Yin is thinking... i doubt he is motivated by jealousy, as he hasn't once looked or acted like he has romantic feelings towards Xiao Bao. so he just doesn't like Huai En?!??
