estar that ending was hilarious - am so happy we got the POV of everyone else witnessing the kiss. know it looked like Yai was being an unreasonable brat, but his behavior was out of self preservation. & if anything, this ep made me like him even more. that scene with Mangkorn's mother made me cry. Yai is so lonely & alone it's heart breaking & just the thought that Mangkorn wouldn't be his, made him push him away cause he doesn't want to take chances with his heart. **********************************the fact that Mangkorn has had a crush on Yai since childhood or the 1st semester is shocking, cause he hasn't acted like he could even tolerate Yai at the start. guess he was more the 'boy that's pulling on the hair of the girl he likes' which is an interesting approach.... a very confusing one. but the fact he has been infatuated with Yai for a while & already confessed to his mother, was pleasantly surprising to discover. not only that, he wants to cancel his scholarship to study in NYC cause he doesn't want to part with Yai - all this, while Yai is pushing him away. if this aint love idk what is. Yai lucked out & given how he is silently suffering, Mangkorn is turning out to be his prize/compensation. ********************************************************about Nine i still don't get the sudden 180, but i appreciate Yai saying no in a very kind way. still think he needs to stop relying on him & put some distance between them. but i guess as he really doesn't have that many people he cares for - it's hard to do.*****************************************************************************************************************************************as much as i get Yai animosity towards his dads new gf i think his anger is misguided. he is really angry at his father, who neglected him while he needed him most & now he is always around with his gf. anyone would feel aggrieved - for a man that always acted like he was too busy, suddenly he got all the time in the world for a stranger?? understandable why Yai is so angry & petty. i feel bad for the new woman as she is trying her best & isn't the bad-guy. the father is the one at fault.******************ironic that all the fathers in this r very self-involved & treat their children like kids & not the adults they have become. btw i am still wondering how Mangkorn's mother met Yai. that was so random - even though that was a lovely scene - it didn't make sense.

idk if this is a saying (but it should be) as when the dicks standing the brain doesn't work.. that's the case with the mains ending p in bed together. they very attracted to each other & very frustrated, as since that fateful sexual encounter they have been circling each other, but not giving in & that push & pull came to a fore with the physical altercation, that turned heated in the sexual way & the outcome isn't surprising. but i knew the euphoria would last long, the return to reality would be a crash & burn. as it was - what i find weird is that Mangkorn had to be strong armed into explaining the situation with Hong, yeah it is complex - but also very straight forward to explain. yet he made is so complicated not just confusing, but making Yai suspicious about the truth of the matter. still Yai was very candid about his confusion & Mangkorn instead of understanding him, got defensive. Yai is justified especially when he keeps seeing Mangkorn around women - not exactly induces trust. ****************i m sure Nine wasn't interested in Yai, not until his mini speech before his song - was seeing Yai heartbroken what did it? as he totally into Yai - suddenly. but i doubt Yai into him - even though it seemed like he was a player & he might had slept with a woman or two, but am sure that Mangkorn has a bigger body count.

the one thing i can say, is that the mains got chemistry in spades.. & Yai was jealous at the end, but is he ready to admit that he has developed feelings? & the better question, should he??? cause Mangkorn not trustworthy IMO. the fact he is attracted isn't shocking, as after having sex with Yai i am sure that memory wasn't a bad one & even if it was mildly good, it would non stop be luring him back... for one more taste. & if he's attracted to Yai, then he would be doubly motivated to explorer all these new feelings that r consuming him. but that doesn't equate to love. & if Yai is just a curiosity, Yai being weary is smart, as jumping headlong into something unsure, will only bring him more heartache, as he is very lonely & vulnerable as is... ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************also it's all good & well Mangkorn's mother being understanding, but both she & the other mother should've put a stop to their husbands stupidity, the sec they got a chance. they both know better & weren't rejoicing as they knew what their husbands were doing was f*cked-up. so i hope they don't wait until a confrontation with the father occurs, cause the mother telling Mangkorn he should have a conversation is moronic, as given his fathers mentality in his eyes his children don't have a right to an opinion & they for sure have no right to contradict his decision. as his children they need to follow his orders - blindly. so idk WTH she was going on about, if anything it seemed like she knew that there would be no point as it would be the equivalent to bashing ones head against a brick wall. so she is basically passing the buck. ********************************************************idk who Nine is, but i didn't detect any one side attraction between him & Yai - yet i wish he came back & took Yai out of this situation. cause there is a part of me that wants Mangkorn to work for Yai - to woo him....

i didn't expect the turn around after the Yai get's caught by Mangkorn, from him making him kneel & then shoving that soap bottle in his mouth "jokingly" to him driving him to his favorite spot, for a heart to heart - not expected to say the least. for sure didn't expect Mangkorn to offer friendship. from the moment they met there wasn't a sec where Mangkorn was hostile - openly so, towards Tai. so i don't get that, that was his way of making friends - but at last the tension has been broken & this has stopped being a toxic harrasment BL. so will take what i get & am just happy they could be more then civil towards each other. *****************************************************************************************************************************************also liked Da the dominatrix, who i thought was a good friend - guess she's someone Yai uses not just for sexual gratification but as a therapist. as i said in the ep before, there is something very lonely about him, even though he is surrounded by "friends" he is all alone & that's very sad - so idk if their relationship is monetary based or more the friends-with-benefits kind, but i like that he reach's out to her for advise or when he wants company & she is always there. even if they not committed - just the fact he has someone is reassuring. cause my heart aches for him - idk why the more i watch this the more i grow to like this character... maybe it's that deep down he is a very sweet, hurting, lonely child (cause he is immature). **************************************************************************************************************************************************************Mangkorn on the other hand really rubs me the wrong way - but after his trying to befriend & open up to Yai doesn't seem as toxic or narcissistic, let alone sadistic. so am hoping we see a more likeable side to him. *******************************************still didn't except that engagement announcement at the end - who does that to their children?!? ironically both kids where unhappy with the news, even Mangkorn's mother was shocked into silence. which day & age r we that a parent thinks this is ok.****************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i get that dumb & dumber r here for comic relief - sadly they not funny, if anything they annoying & incompetent ugh

the only way i could get though this ep was fast-forwarding the majority of it. everyone's making my blood boil - i don't get why dumb & dumber r still employed, nor do i get how Yai can keep his composure around Mangkorn. not only after what he did to him but the fact that he is now blackmailing him. i would be out for blood. but Yai is veryyy passive about it & the scene where Mangkorn just walks into the doctors offices made me wanna flip the table - how that acceptable?!? in which country & still Yai sits there & takes it... like WTF - ******************************************************************************************************& even though Yai has brought a lot of this stupidity on himself, i feel sorry for him. he looks like he has the world & is this spoilt brat - but he is very lonely & alone.

two wrongs don't make a right - neither guy is likeable. but what happened was r*ape. the fact Yai was planning to r*ape Mangkorn doesn't make Mangkorn flipping the tables ok. so this has started off f*cked-up the main reason i put off watching this a while back. this wasn't that much pf a better viewing this time around, but pushed through somehow. the fact Yai employing dumb & dumber didn't help this none - cause i didn't find them funny. **************************************************also Ajo came off like a player that loves guys fanning over her. so for a 1st ep there isn't 1 character that i like - wonder how i will fair & if i will survive till the end or drop it.... time will tell

sadly this is turning stupid - 1st off what was Kram's plan? did he have one??? cause i think dude is just winging it - why he even try & take Phupha back??? & sorry, but him telling Phupha live ur like normally - me & Thai got this, is a bad joke . he got what?!??? what can he do?? if he had any type of training, i would be like - ok, at least he capable of defending himself. but he can't walk without tripping over his own two feet, like come on & Thai has done him one favor after another, now he wants Thai to endanger his own life, pushing him into a life-style he had left behind him, cause he gotta save Phupha??? *********************also Kram missed his chance to go back - yet since that moment, no one mentioning the other universe - why? Kram now planning to stay? until when, until he saves Phupha? even then, the Phupha in his world is dead - so what difference did he really make. **************************************************************************************************************************plus he knew who Phupha's biological father was, let alone how he found out - the hemophilia thing & that the last person Phupha went to meet, was the man he thought was he real dad. all this isn't info wasn't important to share with Phupha??? just live normally & we will take care of sh*t??? genius plan - not. ***********************************************************************btw wondering the locket Phupha had given Kram - where it go?!? was it the price paid to travel back to a world where Phupha was alive?!?

1st off - even though this is time travel, it's back in time to a parallel universe - which i don't get - what's the point... cause like Kram in this universe is already dead & Thai is a different person. so who says Phupha is destined to live the same life here too? i get that it's kinda hinted at, that his new step-mother is the one behind the assassination plot. but why does this universe have to be the same?!? *************************************************************************************************************** a parallel universe IMO is the same people living different lives or making different choices, that leads to different lives... like Thai that chose to leave his family & the family business, is leading a totally different life then he was in Kram's world. *************************************************************************************************************************************************btw Thai's aunt Lu told Kram he had 3 months, before he could go back & then we get a 3 month time skip(?), but Kram decides to take this Phupha to the world where he has been murdered ? like what?!??? ****************************************************why not find a way to save him here & then leave. what is the point of taking him back - i get Kram loves Phupha & their budding relationship got cut short, before they could actually be together. but who says this Phupha will love him like his Phupha did?!??? maybe in this universe Phupha is straight. *************************************************************************so taking him back is such a weird choice. especially when he doesn't have a clue what is going on & will be in danger the sec he wakes up. as he & Kram don't have the power to stop anyone trying to kill him - so i don't get this train of thought. how is this saving Phupha. the sec this Phupha appears in Kram's world the old Phupha doesn't disappear. i don't get the logic behind this ep or Kram's conclusions as to how he should solve his problem. ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the fact Thai went along with this crazy plan is more cause it hurts him too much to be around Kram, who isn't the Kram he knew & loved, so he just wants him gone, so Thai can continue healing & let Kram go.

i kinda hate the time travel, parallel universe plots as they tend to be all over the place & they confusing, sometimes they not done well & by the end u r frustrated even if u did figure everything out what was going on. so was a bit iffy going into this ep - but interesting 1st ep. the only bit i was confused about - which time period were we in?!?? given the wardrobe - even though they were in the country side - it's hard to understand if we modern times or in the 1900? 1800? what.. wish that was clearer. *****************************************************************************************************************************************also get that Kram goes back in time (3 yrs) after losing Phupha, only to encounter Thai who lost a bf that looked like Kram 3yrs prior to that - yet when they met each other in the forest - Thai didn't act like he recognized Kram & as they live in the same area, Kram or his father never encounter this doubleganger?!? what am i missing?!? hope this explained ******************anyway hope that when Kram goes back, he is able to save Phupha from his "father", also Thai kinda crazy scary - idk how or why Kram gonna stomach him, let alone fall for him.

the fact Jeong Yeon still carrying a torch for Yu Geon, after find out that he basically used him as a test subject to write a paper on.. says how Yu Geon got under his skin. it turns his manipulations, very dark & diabolical, the fact he was doing his "experiment" trying to change Jeong Yeon for the good & not evil, doesn't make what he did ok. *********************************but the main question is how was he effected??? was he effected?!?? cause until the end, where u see Myeong Jin looking at Yu Geon's computer screen in wonder... (not having the translation, can only guess) that, that red dot indicated his own emotions?? does it mean that his motivation by the end wasn't just to use Jeong Yeon? that he had developed feelings?!? - idk what to feel as this was a very psychologically loaded plot & yet there isn't enough time to explore the subject & what is going on with the mains... or so it feels to me - donno what i expect in the last ep. hope it aint a rushed wrap up job.

in the previous ep, i mentioned how uneasy i was with the fact that Yu Geon was not only Jeong Yeon's senior, but also his tutor. that gives him authority over Jeong Yeon, the power dynamic is off & given Jeong Yeon being a troubled teen, Yu Geon with the tough love would have a bigger hold on him. so not shocking he fell in-love & is still not over his 1st love. ***************the fact Yu Geon rejected the confession is a good thing - given everything i mentioned above, makes me breath easier watching this. cause if he had acted on Jeong Yeon's confession, it would give me groomer vibes & i aint here for that -

the main thing i gotta say its thank f*ck this only got 8 eps, cause this had become moronic. even if Boss couldn't approach the Big-Boss cause of his lowly position, going to Thiu was stupid - wasn't Thiu the one that got beat on the way out of the organization?? wasn't he the one that was warned that once he left he could never come back?!?? so how come Thiu could do something Boss couldn't?!? & Thiu deciding to wait until the last moment instead of thinking of a way to give the Big-Boss a heads-up is stooopid. ****************************************************************************************************************but the most moronic part was Guy - he so worried about Thiu dude decided to crash a clash for power between mafiaso's?!? really??? what he think he gonna achieve? come between Thiu & a bullet? *********************************************************this might have had potential but it fizzed out pretty fast & it kinda got tedious. nothing also happened between Tul & boss, so this was kind of a let down - bummer

i get that the reason Thiu didn't kill Kenji was cause that would allow him to go back to Guy. but given the reason Kenji gave him for holding a grudge, can't he see the dude is messed in the head?!? who said Thiu had an easy life? that Phaibul treated him with kid gloves?!? he rose to his position through hard work & a lot of suffering, but he wasn't throwing himself a pity part & he for sure didn't begrudge Kenji for rising to a position equal to his. in that world rank didn't just mean power, it also meant the money to get to keep. so leaving him alive was a whack choice as now he maybe targeting Phaibul, but the sec he is "taken care off" who will his next target be?!?? also Thiu really take Kenji's word that he would stop?? he that trust worthy? really??? again asking how did Thiu end up as the right hand man of the big-boss??? u need brains not muscles to reach that position let alone keep it. *************************************************************************************************************************i feel sorry for Whal - even though how he played Guy from the start maybe this is karma, yet i can't fault him if he was scared to face the fact he had fallen for another man & he wasn't ready to come out of the closet. so now that he was finally ready to face his feeling & was trying his best - i felt sad for him that he missed the boat. ***************************************************side note: watching Guy "kiss" is painful - i wish the director didn't give us freakin close-ups, so we could see that the dude is like a dead fish ugh

to me this BL has become rage bait & yet i wasn't that angry this ep - 1st of the shocker that Jimmy can be a good human-being when he wants too. him running off to help an ex, isn't anything to scoff at. plus he gave Run time to heal at his place & he wasn't creepy about it (given they were more friends with benefits then actual boyfriends), it's normal & very easy to "trip" into bed, with someone u had good sexual chemistry with - even if u hate their guts lol ************************************************2ndly Toh doesn't evoke my sympathetic side, every time he cried i rolled my eyes. cause the dude needs help not sympathy(!), from how Jimmy has treated him from the start, to assume he ever loved him, like what?!?? but this the same dude that convinced himself, that no matter why Jimmy too him to bed, he was gonna make Jimmy love him & the part that made me shudder, was when he told himself "...don't be petty & make him angry..." that's how abused women talk about their abusive husbands, this dude needs help, so he will stop seeking out abusive people to partner up with. ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw i love Run - from the start of this i loved his sassy ass & i loved how he gave as good as he got, when he was with Jimmy. the fact he tried to get back together with the moron, was cause he's in a vulnerable state & Jimmy offered a safe haven. & call me mean, but i kinda enjoy his mean girl act towards Toh. ******************************************************************************but we all know that if they did get back together, sooner or later they would break-up, cause Jimmy is a personality only a mother can love - well his mother & Toh the masochist *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also, don't buy Jimmy suddenly actually caring for Toh, why him? he's been bed hopping for ages & the sec he gets his prey he moves on to the next conquest. but this time it's different - why? cause Toh was such a doormat?

i get Tul pushing Boss away, but i don't get Thiu pushing Guy away, that is such a cliché & it is pointless as Kenji is aa moron & he doesn't act on logic. he hates Thiu - when he really doesn't have a reason too. at least with the flashback u get why Thiu didn't want to kill him. but Kenji ended up in his position cause of Thiu not cause of Phaibul the big-boss. so why does he have such a grudge against Thiu?!? after Thiu keeping him alive he rose in the ranks & ended up being the bosses other "right hand" equal to Thiu who had seniority over him - Thiu didn't begrudge him the position or the power. so just cause??? *********************** so Thiu still thinking his breaking up with Guy will keep him safe? really?!?? if anything him being in the dark puts him more in danger as Thiu can't hunt Kenji down & also be Guy's bodyguard. *****************************************************************Guy on his part is a bit of an airhead - which is tedious to watch - how he goes around with a brain in that head of his. but this another trope where the bottom is a clueless fragile watering pot. *****************************************************************the fact Whal got dumped now that Guy got dumped is ironic - but at least Whal now realizes his feelings & is gonna act on them. the question is Guy gonna accept him? or has being with Thiu broken him of the habit = crushing on Whal. *******************************************************************************************************************************************************Thiu told the gamer friends he would inform them when he found Guy & he has done everything but contact them, but they just props that r taken out when needed & then forgotten when not. like Guy suddenly contacting them after ghosting them, cause he wanted someone to help clean up Thiu 's restaurant. whack writing.
