I've gotten the impression that Mix may struggle with body-dysphoria-type issues, so he may be setting some boundaries around it, which I think are important to respect. For me, their chemistry works brilliantly even without more explicit skinship.

I felt that a bit, too, but I wonder if they're pushing back against the other BLs that rely so heavily on perfectly choreographed NC scenes that titillate but aren't very much like real life sex at all. I've also had the sense for a while that Earth and Mix are less comfortable than a lot of ships with the make out scenes. I don't mind it because they communicate their attraction SO effectively in the rest of their body language and through their eyes, though I'll admit I was hoping for a little more here. It felt like the original trailer was actually a bit smoother on this level. Just me?

That was my question, too. I think it would be quite unusual for someone to lose the muscle memory of how to speak alongside losing their hearing, but I'm not any sort of expert.

I agree about the singing thing. It's wild to me that they seem to expect all of them to be actors, singers, models, and dancers. How many people can actually pull all of that off? Not many

Yeah, the idea of First and Mix together just does not compute

Me, 44: lol. But I still don't *feel* that old

I wonder in this case if it could have to do with Earth and Mix's comfort level. They seem to have been one of the couples that wants to do less skinship since they've started working together. I think it's remarkable what intense sexual chemistry they have without relying on very explicit kissing scenes and so much nudity like some other ships (not that I'm complaining about that, it's just a striking difference to me.)

Yes to every bit of this

I like him, too. He’s a mess but kind of a lovable one

I fully agree about learning Hangeul up front if you decide to study Korean. It was much easier than I expected and helps a ton. Small thing, but I think in this line he called her 여보 (yeobo) rather than 자기야 (jagiya.) I might be remembering wrong, though.

To me, escort very much has the connotation of someone who is interacting sexually with the client, but she isn’t at all. It’s purely a business relationship where she is playing a part that the man’s family or colleagues want

I feel much more compassion for her than many of the female characters in Thai shows (the ones who are in the role of “obstacle”.) She’s much more complex.

I also think that In and Siam probably did not sleep together

I mean In and Wang. I thought as of last episode that they didn’t, but I really think the scene with them being shirtless in bed the next morning was deliberately ambiguous. I still lean toward thinking they probably didn’t, but I think it’s possible they could have

Totally agree. This latest episode was not at all what I was expecting (well, the mom getting upset was, but I still feel like I have no idea what In is actually feeling toward Wang or if they slept together.

In this last episode, I could definitely see what you’re describing here. I get that he’s supposed to be emotionally paralyzed by the situation, but his reactions were just confusing a sort of “off” to me in this one.

This one REALLY could go either way. I honestly have no idea. I hope it doesn’t end tragically, though

In this last episode, I could definitely see what you’re describing here. I get that he’s supposed to be emotionally paralyzed by the situation, but his reactions were just confusing a sort of “off” to me in this one.

I feel like the mom definitely knew. The way she reacted about it being In “of all people .” Up until this episode (7), I really wanted them to end up together. Now I’m less sure about that. There’s so much pain in the history between them, and I’m not sure either of them could fully get past that for it to be a healthy, mutual, adult relationship. But maybe I’m not being fair to them or giving Wang enough credit for knowing his own mind and heart. I suppose this is due to my own stage in life, but 20 is SO young for such an intense relationship.

I’m trying to decide if I think In is being a coward for not saying anything in this last episode. Should I give him some grace because he was legitimately traumatized by and blames himself for the loss of his best friend? And did they sleep together or not????? This is killing me. I honestly have no idea how it’s going to end.
