I had a hard time with the laugh track in Ep 1, but somehow I got over it. Probably Rak hotness helped in that regard.

It's not often that you see people sexually harassing their boss, and it's a little cringey when those two side characters do it, although I like the Rak stare in response.

The kissing was pretty good - we could definitely use more of it.

I was thinking that because ambientation isn't a word in English, but it it in Spanish. So I thought spanish-speaker or film student. I knew what you meant, which is all that's important. I think we should import the word because "setting" or "ambiance" don't cover it.

Son above the neck and Pun below the neck are apparently sufficient to keep me watching. I may be able to enter a zen state if I can discipline myself to ignore the plot.

I can ignore bad endings for series that I'm watching for purely shallow reasons (i.e. cute boys, hopefully shirtless - I actually watched Cupid Coach), but if I'm invested in the plot, like 1,000 Stars, a bad second-to-last episode does not make me happy. I need to work on that.

You are preparing yourself, right? I think it's pretty unlikely he'll make it. We can hope, but brace yourself...

For some reason he's not as hot in Enchante (except the egg scene), even though he's always holding a guitar. I think it's directing and the way everyone looks like mannequins with the soft-filter so strong. But in this... I can't even rewatch the sketching scene - too much beauty. It burns.

I think there are a few possible factors:
- It depends on how important Dan is. If they need him for some reason or his parents are powerful, then it's better to keep everyone alive as hostages.
- Thinks are unstable right now and the public has taken notice. The Bad Guys know the gang are connected via social media and it would be very difficult to cover up a mass-extrajudicial murder. If the gang is removed rom the situation, there's no reason to kill them and risk enormous attention - because even corrupt authorities will have to take someone down for it.
- Given the established public mood, if it gets out, there are marytrs for a revolution. Smart Bad Guys avoid things like that.
- White's mother is a potential reason for not killing them - she's clearly one of the bigger baddies, and so her approval is probably required to kill White. She probably has said "only if it's absolutely necessary".

However, none of that applies once things settle down and public attention recedes. If the boys can't get out of prison by then, they're dead (right now an unfortunate but convenient prison fire won't fool anyone). I think White's mother would be able to work something out - for White. I doubt she'd do squat for anyone else.

And for all we know, SHE is the mastermind behind everthing - a high-ranking judge is extremely well-situated to manipulate the legal system.

He more or less has to die otherwise his parents will be killed. I think he acted because of Black's arrival - it greatly increased thr chances of everyone being killed, plus it essentially doubled his ability to do anything.

I want a Thai to tell us if the old man was threatening his parents - I thought so, but he phrased it really oddly.

Maybe it was written by whoever did Gen Y S2.

It was so jarring - there was no transition - the lighting was darker, the shot way more close up, and Pun immediately attacked him - it was almost a jump-scare in a horror film.

I'm here for Milk's face. And Pun's body.

It was cute but tonally confusing - the opening scene is very dark, and the rest is cute and funny. Anyway, it's interesting and not the same old thing.

Are you Spanish-speaking?

Yes, I think Aii and Saen are the only couple that's working for me right now, and they were my least favorite before. They keep killing the momentum by doing time jumps. After the previous one, Vee & Dome never got their sizzle back. That's the forbidden love couple - that needed some real drama leading to their kiss - what happened was a real letdown.

Doesn't Dan have to die? If he doesn't his parents will be killed for what he did. Unless the old man really did mean he would tell Dan's parents what he's done and he would be in deep doodoo because they're powerful and evil. Which seems unlikely.

I hope your parents didn't read that. That's not much of a choice for Dan - plus, this way the gang may possibly live, as opposed to 100% being killed.

It was more than that - they would also have killed the whole gang. Also I wasn't clear on if the old man was threatening to kill Dan's parents or if meant he would tell Dan's parents that Dan had betrayed them, i.e. they're powerful and evil.

If he was threatening to kill his parents, then Dan just killed his parents, or he'll have to murder everyone who saw what he did and erase the footage of the security cameras. Or he has to kill himself or die next ep.

I don't think he needs redemption - he's done nothing wrong. He had no choice - either he did what he did or all of them would have been killed, and even then he sacrificed himself so that they could escape. If they kill him off there will be pitchforks and torches, let me tell you. It's possible it will go your way - sometimes the unstained pure of heart person is sacrificed, but that's kind of Judeo-Christian, not Eastern. In He's Coming to Me, "Sorry about that" was sufficient to redeem someone for the 1st degree murder of his own nephew just for money. That would never happen in a Western drama series.

No, I didn't get that. I think they'll both die in the finale. I think Todd loves Black, but has no intention of sharing his power, although he'd use it to benefit Black.
