I think they've been friends with benefits for a while, it's just been kept quiet per their arrangement.

I think it makes sense. Remember that he is coming off of a future where Pear was marrying a dude that she knew was sleeping with her friend (and will probably go back to doing so once he feels he can safely get away with it) while they were also together. The Pear of that timeline was in an awful situation and Kawi - rightly or wrongly - felt it was all his fault. And now he's sure he's driven her into Not's arms again because he couldn't be honest with her.

Thankfully this Pear is not the same Pear from that timeline. She has more going on, for one thing, more of a support system, and she hasn't been reduced to feeling like the only thing she can do to succeed is get married and have babies. Kawi will calm down, I think. He's just spiraling a bit because he's seen where it can go.

I will not believe it until I see an official trailer, lol. Can't get my hopes up because things change and OF still has a lot of Q's to film.

That worries me too. Kwan needs to love herself more and Not needs to go away. I don't actually think he's completely irredeemable despite how much I dislike him (and saying I'd riot if they redeem him lol) but if he's gonna work on himself he should do it far away from both Kwan and Pear.

youtube links are downthread.

Okay if they try to redeem Not after this I will lose it. Let Kwan and Pear be with each other and far away from him, I say!

Also I just love Pear. It's natural that she felt some kind of way about Pisaeng and Kawi together but I love that after she had some time to think about it the first thing that she did was tell Not to back off. And I like that she was up front with him about her own feelings - she was so much kinder than he deserves but good for her for managing it. More and more I am thinking that he got her in that awful future because he found her vulnerable and heartbroken and took advantage, the same way he tried to do here. Only in this timeline Pear doesn't feel like she's lost everything.

Honestly for me this was Pear's episode to shine - I love so much how everyone has their own internal motivations and issues independent of what is going on with Kawi. Sometimes in romance it can feel like not just the LI's life revolves around the MC, but everyone's, and here there is clearly so much more happening. People are off living their own lives independent of our MC, and that is how it should be.

This show just gets better and better. I love it.

To stick entirely to facts we know:

Khaotung's character is going to hook up with First's for at least a while, possibly also Book's, since his character is actually in love with Book's character. They may or may not end up together, but I wouldn't bank on it personally.

What I wouldn't do, however, is trust anyone saying they know for sure because they have insider info. Even if they do (which is highly doubtful - this is the internet you can say anything. I could say I AM Khaotung ffs (I am not, for the record :D)), you have to question their motives for talking here or all the places.

I would personally just try not to get attached to any of these couples as end game and just enjoy the ride.

I highly highly highly doubt they will, for what it's worth.

This will probably air first. But I think that anticipated or not they're going to be very dissimilar.

I will try! But i also kind of want to mitigate my hopes so I'm not bitterly disappointed if it doesn't happen lol.

Just someone on tumblr. Because DR is nearly done, Hidden Agenda is airing, so is BMF, the expectation is that now OF will be airing later than expected since it's unlikely that GMM will air three BLs at once and DR will more than likely be taking the BMF spot in August.

It makes sense but I'm very pouty about it.

Although I doubt they'll give OF a Sunday slot. Friday late night or bust!

Saw someone on tumblr speculating that we might not get this until October and I swear a part of me died a little.

September I will make myself be okay with; October is too far away.

Imagine if they did, though. Imagine if they did.

I don't know which I'm looking forward to more between this and OF. This one will be tropier but I think OF will be messier. This one I have more confidence will have an ending I like, but I expect to enjoy getting to the end of OF more. I can't decide, so clearly GMM should take pity on me and air them both in August so I don't have to.

Yeah it's depressing. I think it might be because it's a GL but Milk and Love were the entire reason I stuck with Bad Buddy as long as I did. I'm really looking forward to it.

If they gave us both I would lose it. These two and 23.5 were my most looked forward to dramas out of the 2023 line up. I haven't heard much news about the last one though, which is a shame. I don't think that it has as big a following. :(

If it's the 18th that probably definitely means OF will be pushed back, yes? Since Friday is typically the day for the more...risqué shows, let us say.

I personally would be all over all the mess airing at once, but I just can't convince myself that it's possible, lol.

Nah just do what you like - MDL commenters love to hate on things, especially Thai BL. Just try to have a good time with what you like and not let the relentless negativity get to you.

Oh I've been here since ep 2 or 3...it just still gets to me :D

I genuinely can't believe I'm sitting here counting down the hours to Friday...not because it's the weekend, but because Friday is when I get this show (and Tokyo in April is...)

Yeah OF is only halfway through. Unless they do the same thing as Hidden Agenda and release it while still filming I don't see it happening.

At this point my expectation is that they'll take the Be My Favorite slot in Aug.
