The second couple is hot, although I'm not sure where they're bringing their story next. Tbh, I know it sounds shallow, but I'm fine with just sweet moments. :P
Khom has his own novel and will get a rich and caring boyfriend, so he'll get his happy ending.
From what I can find and google translate, I think the plot summary is like this:
Kom becomes a tour guide for Connor, during which Connor falls for Kom. Kom is trying hard to stay professional, but because Connor is flirty and very hot, he eventually gives in. Kom knows this is a temporary thing, so he quickly breaks it off with Connor (emotionally; under a heavy rain and all that).
And now the drama. Kom gets into a car crash, which made Connor decides to extend his vacation to take care of Kom. On top of that, Kom's friend accuses Kom for prostituting himself to Connor, which results in Kom getting hit by his dad. And to make it worse, Connor offers Kom to stay with him in Bangkok where he'll pay for Kom's university tuition + give him allowance (yes, Connor's rich af), which makes Kom angry since he thinks Connor really is trying to buy him for sex. But Kom is tired of all the drama that he eventually agrees to go to get away from his hometown.
In Bangkok, Kom doesn't feel comfortable because he feels like a prostitute. Meanwhile, Connor doesn't explain much because he's busy with his job. Ultimately though, their relationship gets better when Kom realizes that Connor really does love him.
One day, Kom decides he is ready to go back home and moves on from Connor (he still thinks that his relationship with Connor is just a temporary arrangement). However, he can't bring himself to say goodbye, so he leaves a note while Connor is sleeping.
Finally, in a typical romance movie fashion, Connor finds the note, rushes to the harbour (Kom is afraid of plane so he board a ship instead), holds a sign and shouts he loves Kom. And they live happily ever after.
Again, this is all from google translate, sorry if I make any mistake.
I honestly don't like San behavior in trailer. I don't understand your admiration for him. He's just rude and…
From what I understand, San does that on purpose to make Type jealous. He doesn't actually see Tharn that way, but he knows that Type needs a little push.
Is this a BL? The tags aren’t indicating that. Does anyone know definitively?
In an interview, Tee said that it has hint of BL, but Kim said it's BL as clear as day.
But if we look at the posters, no two characters are always positioned next to each other, so I assume whatever romance there is (straight or BL) will be secondary to the main drama (the competition).
(Funnily enough, in this poster: https://kisskh.at/photos/xXmxy we get the perfect "all the top on the top with their respective bottom on the bottom, while the girls stay forever single" :P )
Li Shi Yu is probably the best ex-gf I've seen in a BL so far. Respect.
Also I just realized that Yu Xi Gu's standing posture makes him look tired and frail. In the Christmas scene he stands more confidently and looks much healthier.
And finally, why's the last part cut so abruptly? It's about to get hot when it just pauses and goes to end credit...
After digging and google translating some more, I think the main plot is like this:
Kom becomes a tour guide for Connor, during which Connor falls for Kom. Kom is trying hard to stay professional, but because Connor is flirty and very hot, he eventually gives in. Kom knows this is a temporary thing, so he quickly breaks it off with Connor (emotionally; under a heavy rain and all that).

I looked it up and he indeed does. It's called 'Love Sand'. Kom becomes a tour guide for a Canadian tourist Connor, and their story starts from there (that's from google translating the back-of-the-book synopsis; I don't know anything else about it :P ).
I wonder if Kom (Kaprao's character; we saw him in ep 7 preview) has his own novel or storyline? Because Kom is gay, is dating someone, and is portrayed by a mighty cute guy. That's like, BL protagonist 101.
I'm sorry. I just don't get it???? I realize it's in the novel, and I realize the novel is written by women who…
This story has two novels, and we're now nearing the end of the first novel. So Type suddenly becoming exclusive with Tharn is the book 1's "...and they live happily ever after. The end".
Until book 2 shows up and says "actually, that wasn't the end".
Not disagreeing with you, just providing some context.
This episode is packed with twists and turns, it could've been the most dramatic episode yet. I didn't expect the second couple to get together this quickly. Meanwhile, the first couple has barely left their first drama before jumping straight into another.
I definitely get the cringey and clichéd feel that people are saying, but I did get a few laughs out of this episode. So overall, I still enjoy the series.
They're in year 12, which in Taiwan is typically 17-18 years old. Meanwhile, the age of consent in Taiwan is 16.But…
Ah well, I've seen enough sugar daddy relationship that this kind of thing don't faze me, but everyone is entitled to their own sentiment.
Although one thing to note, age gap in relationship seems a lot wider when the people are young. Say, the discrepancy between 18 and 26 years old seems a lot bigger than 50 and 58 years old, even though they both have 8 years difference.

Btw, the title is Love Sand หาดร้อนซ่อนรัก.

The first episode has a lot of small talks, which make it moves quite slowly. But overall, I enjoy it and I'm waiting for them to pick up the pace.
