Oh! Okay! Thanks! P.S. In the novel, does the author make Pran and Pat have the stereotypical seme/uke relationship? I hope not. But, I wouldn't be surprised.

All good points!

Interesting point! But, exactly how much time has passed, 6 months, a year??? What about Pa? Does she know Pran and Pat live next door again? How could she not, especially when Pran is in Pat's room, and she seems okay with it, as if she's known all along their "neighbors" again. Also, what about the feud between Architecture and Engineering? Each side seems to be behaving and keeping a "friendly" distance. Finally, there's the issue of Pat joining the Architecture Camp. Hmmm? No one from Engineering once has commented on this in the time that has passed?? I know I'm splitting hairs. But, it does speak the plot of the story between then and now. Just my opinion. LOL

Okay. There's agreement that this ep. was pretty good. Yeah, it had few directorial gaffs. But, that's okay. The only thing that really bothered me (but, I'll get over it), was we had a time jump, without any explanation or history as to what has happened in the time that has passed. Now, I don't know if that was intentional, one of those directorial gaffs, or if it is directly from the novel. In any case, when series do things like that, it makes the viewing audience want to know what happened in the meantime -- at least it does for me.

OK. On the eve of the ep. 6, I want to take this moment to go back to my previous opinion. IMO, I still believe that the scenes in ep. 5 were probably the most important in series thus far.

Ok, here my out. Up until ep. 5, Pat and Pran's relationship was mainly that of rivals. Then, all of a sudden, Pran makes it personal (with the song). Yes, the song is the straw that broke the camel's back, the line you don't cross, the unforgiveable sin (well maybe not so much unforgiveable, LOL). Alot seem connected to that song -- Pran and Pat co-wrote it; they were playing that song when Pran's parents came to concert and Pran left; and it was the memories surrounding that song that connected Pat and Pran. Remember the way Pran looked at Pat while he was playing "their" song. And, up on the roof, Pat admitted that didn't like Pran playing that song with anyone else (as well as was not pleased that Pran would call their song a "little thing"). Obviously, it was significant to Pat, and I believe Pran knew that. Not only did Pran win the battle of the bands, Pran also won the battle of the "wills." Pran used something that Pat emotionally had no defense, "their song." Playing that song with someone else hurt Pat, so much so, that finally, as a result of that song, Pat finally let down his wall and "confessed" to Pran.

The song seemed to be Pat's Achiles Heel!!! Ok. I'm done with my synopsis. On to episode 6!!!!!

Totally agree with all of the points. Yeah, Weir is a flirt and a tease. But, as someone commented, they're all adults. Punn had absolutely NO right to slap Weir. A slap in the face (in many cultures) is the ultimate insult or challenge. Punn had the right words, just the wrong reaction.

Thanks! I can agree with this. P.S. Also, with sooo much child exploitation, enslavement, and abduction around the world, I wonder why a series would go down that path???

Good points! I stand duely informed. Thanks ☺️

I'm not really sure what to make of this series. I was okay with the comedic elements of the mains, and then all of a sudden, the addition of a child serial kidnapper and murderer. I'm sorry folks... there's absolutely nothing comedic, in ANY way shape or form, about the kidnapping, torture and murdering of children, even in a BL.

I'm going to make one last comment about the last scene in ep. 5, and then I'll move on. All of the previous comments are really, really good. And, I don't dispute them. However, I still think one of the main turning points (if not the main turning point) of this ep., and Pran's and Pat's relationship up to this point, is the "song." Hear me out on this one. LMBO! As one poster commented, there were flashbacks about how Pran and Pat collaborated on the song. The song they sang and played together. The song to which partly lead to their separation, and the song which (I believe) began their reconciliation.

Think about it! Throughout the series, Pat and Pran had flirtatious moments, playful moments, fighting moments, and jealous moments. But, even with all of that, they were still somewhat reserved to admit to themselves that feelings were there and starting to come to the surface. Then, Pran plays the song. The song that has so much history for them. Why that song? IMO, it was because Pran knew it would really, really get to Pat, and it did. This action kind of made it "personal." It was a line that you generally don't cross. And, it hurt Pat! So much so, that Pat decided to let down that wall and confess. Although, I don't believe Pran meant for that to happen.

Just one person's thoughts and opinions. CAN'T WAIT TIL FRIDAY!!!!!

Yep. You're right!

I kind of agree with this. From what we've seen so far, Pran is the one who seems to always walk away first. This may be that his nature is non-confrontational. OR, it might be that Pran recognizes that when he does walk away, it affects Pat. Pran seems to know more about what gets to Pat, than the other way around. Take the song for instance. Pran had to know that playing it would have an effect on Pat (remember the way Pran looked at Pat just before and during the song, hmmm). Then, later on the roof, Pran referred to the song as a "little thing," probably knowing it would get to him even more, finally breaking down that wall of Pat's. Hmmm!

I'm in agreement with all the comments. However, I'm just sooooo glad that the director didn't take us down that "wifey/hubby" trope trail. Pat and Pran used "wifey" as playful flirtation between them, which I thought was totally okay.

Many posts centered around the Mark/Ou Wen relationship. Many posters commented that the couple needed more screen time. Some posters commented that some of the plot development was lacking or missing. And, a great many posters commented that they should get their own series. Well, tbh, I agree with all of the posters' comments. YES, they should've had more screen time. YES, at times the plot development between the two was a little disjointed. And, YES, I think they should get their own series.

However, I also believe that their portions of the series were fairly well done (for what they had). The relationship addressed some pretty complicated issues, such as single pregnancy/parenthood, family, and acceptance of LGBTQ+ members. Yes, the production could've done more with the plot. But, I think the Mark/Ou Wen story touched many folks' hearts (it certainly touched mine, especially with that proposal). And also tbh, if this series (and not a separate series with Mark and Ou Wen as the mains) had concentrated more on Mark/Ou Wen storyline, especially with all the rest of the couples and issues, I'm not sure Mark/Ou Wen's story would've been as good. It was short enough to tell a love story, but just long enough for us to want more (like their own series). Just one person's opinions.

P.S. With the success this series has received, as well as the notoriety the Mark/Ou Wen story has garnered, I would not be surprised that a Love is Science 2 (focusing on the continuing Mark/Ou Wen story) isn't being discussed right now.

LMBO!!!!

Cool. I've been concentrating more on the Taiwanese BLs. I've started liking them a bit more than the Thai BLs.

Well, fyi.... try this page. It lists most the BLs that have come out the past few years. http://world-of-bl.com/

Yeah, the only follow-up was the card sent to them from Mark (with a picture of the baby's sonogram). Actually, I thought that was a really kind and considerate gesture.

P.S. The Mark proposal to Ou Wen made even me shed a little tear. Sorry, at times, I'm just a softy.

I'd say no. But, you might find it ok, when there's nothing else to watch. P. S. Quality bl's are getting harder to find, IMO.

Have you watched all of this BL, Stranger's Kiss? LMBO! That's the main plot of this bl, and it's hilarious, IMO. There is one other bl that had a similar plot. But, I can't think of it now. But, what I do remember is that it was a Vietnamese bl. I believe it was "Nation's Brother." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bM3vowhu8H8.
