Wow! This series is a messy train wreak! After ep. 9, there's literally no one worth redeeming except Qatar and the kid. LMFAO! I can't wait to see how this series concludes!
The thing is, yes the romance is the center of the series, but there are many other elements. It's not a regular…
Agreed. This is a fantasy series with a romance flare. As much as we all may want more romance, remember, this story also centers around a police unit. A unit where over half the squad are sleeping with each other! LMFAO!
Do not be surprised if Day doesn't get his sight back in ep. 12. That may appear to be a phony ending to an otherwise wonderful series. I think another poster commented about people with visual impairments living healthy. wonderful lives, having relationships and even getting married. There's no reason that Day and Mhok can't have that as well. But, realistically, the door was left open for Day's sight to return because the cornea transplants (at least statistically) have a fairly high success rate. I just think that after the emotionally draining first 11 eps., the audience really could use some positive closure. I hope we get it.
Although it may be a little hopeful, I kind of would like to see Day at least have some return of sight, so he could see Mhok at least once. Cornea transplant surgeries are tricky. Statistically, they are often highly successful when there are not any complications. Sometimes it takes time for vision (even partial vision) to return. All is not necessary lost.
I'm not really sure of what to make of this BL!!! LMBO! It's ALL over the place! It has drama, sex, intrigue, suspense, good looking mains (as well as good looking side couples), a somewhat interesting "fantasy" story involving serpents, sorcery and past lives. Yeah, the plot is also ALL over the place and often times a bit ridiculous. But, somehow, this series makes that ridiculousness work. It's interesting enough to keep one interested. At least it is to me.
This series is like some campy B-movie or B-series, like Buffy the Vampire Slayer or the old 1960's American Batman series or any of those Japanese-made Godzilla movies. Yeah, we know that most of the plot is kind of silly, but in a "campy" silly kind of way. And they are as entertaining as f*ck! LMBO! Bottom line. If you have any great expectations that this series is a cinematic or dramatic masterpiece, then I think you'll be unpleasantly surprised. But, if you just want a series that's fun to watch, has a basic story of "good vs. evil" and that supernatural vibe (even though a bit campy), this is a pretty ok series. LMFAO!
This episode was incredible on so many levels. I'm kind of glad that Day didn't have an immediate "miracle" cure with his sight. That would've been too easy. I'm also not sure that it was necessary for the couple to break up. I do believe that this episode needed to show the trials and tribulations of what both were going through as a couple: Mhok's insecurities about whether he could really take care of Day and that Day could take of himself. And Day coming to the realization of his disability and the true challenges it presents presently and could present in the future. However, both are young and could've had a lifetime to figure all of that out, if they were willing to trust in one another and in themselves.
Personally, I'm hoping the last ep. will not only provide both Mhok and Day with some kind of redemption (whether it be getting back together some time in the future or finding others that similarly make them happy and fullfilled), but will also provide the viewing audience with some appropriate closure. This series has been one of the most emotionally charged BLs in history. It literally allowed all of us to feel what Mhok and Day went through. It made us laugh, it made us cry, and it makes us want to see a happy ending for these two characters. Whatever the equivalent to the Emmy awards or BAFTA awards are for Thailand or Southeast Asia, this series definitely deserves the award for Best Series.
I just rewatched ep. 10, and though I watched it earlier and knew what was coming, it STILL brought me to tears! OMG! This is such a good series! F*ck the 8.7 rating given by MDL. This series is at least a 9!
Agree or not. This is one of best "dramas" in BL history, IMO. It's well acted, well directed, no overt tropes or stereotypes, and it delves into to real emotions. The quality of the series seems to get better and better. It's as if we, the viewing audience, get to see the struggles these characters are going through and how the love and care for one another (be it their mom, brother, boyfriend, or pregnant ex-girlfriend) can help them through those struggles.
I just hope that after 10 eps. the rug is not pulled out from under us in the last two eps. This story deserves a "good" outcome. But, unfortunately, even good stories sometimes have sad and tragic endings. Just not let it be this series!!!!!
I believe the only reason many watch this series is for the seemingly never-ending screwing that takes place. And WoW! There's alot of screwing going on! But I guess to each his or her own. LMFAO!
Wow! A series that's named "Only Friends" and there are actually very few characters in the series that are "Only Friends." This series is a mish-mash trainwreck of a story. They're friends who "screw with," "screw over" and just plain "screw" each other for a host of reasons, to which few are what "true" friends should do. But, you know! We all probably know or possibly even have friends who are just as f*cked up as these "friends" are, and I use the term "friends" losely. IMO, I think that's one potent reason this series resonated who so many who posted positive comments. Don't get me wrong, I thought it was good for what it was, "a f*cked up view of friendships that probably mirrors real life than we will admit," as messy as real life and friendships are, especially these days.
I have been parroting it for a while that the proceedings are so deliriously unreal that the whole story seems…
Wow! You have some very valid, well thought out points on all of your scenarios. I agree with most of them, especially your points that "what it seems orm not exactly the way we see. The only thing about this ep. I have a problem is "Vit being the attacker." Although this series has shown Vit to be a manipulative hustler, who'll screw whoever he can con. But, there's been nothing, so far, to indicate that he's a murderer as well. Why kill Thanwa? That makes NO sense to me. All Tao is to Vit is a good lay, nothing to kill over???????
This is why I soooo agree with you that either "nothing is as it seems" or the last two eps. will reveal hidden bits of plot that the audience hasn't figured out yet.

Interesting synopsis! I kinda sorta have a similar feeling. As you stated, going from type of behavior to a completely different type of behavior so quickly seems somewhat ridiculous and hardly believeable. However, love and lust sometimes makes one do things they wouldn't ever have done before.
