He's supposed to be weird, and I find him interesting. I think on the contrary, almost everything he says is meaningful - he has a good sense of what's important and what's not - or for example the way he handled the kid. Singto, on the other hand, is just one note - just annoyed at everything. That's his character, so I guess it's OK, but a more talented actor could have given him more depth and nuance.

I don't think you read my post.

But I also still love Drake. :)

I thought it was 10 eps instead of 12. If I'd known that when I was watching this ep it would have bothered me less.

Oh. Well then, never mind. LOL, for some reason I was thinking it was 10.

That was a great episode - this series is surprisingly good and enjoyable. Usually child actors are unbearable, but this on did a great job. I love Tae - I almost (but not quite) feel motivated to rewatch 2moons for him.

Same for me - I think this show is fantastic. I love Tae's character - it's so different and refreshing, and this is a better role for Singto than in Baker Boys. I'm going to commit blasphemy, but I enjoyed this week's ep more than Bad Buddy, which I found disappointing.

Odd - I have the opposite feeling. I find Singto dull and unexpressive and I love Tae's acting.

That looked like a prize you might find in a cereal box, so maybe there's a quality control issue in some food factory somewhere.

I think this is an alternate universe where being gay is no different than being straight, so I don't think Wai perceived he was doing anything but exposing the relationship between Pat and Pran rather than outing them and exposing them to homophobia and social opprobrium. It was still wrong, but to me the problem with the episode was that the Wai situation has been built into the central conflict of the story and it was solved so quickly and completely solely by external circumstances and not through a "come-to-Jesus" confrontation that was really needed. Wai certainly did the right thing in the end, but it wasn't going out of his way, it was just telling the truth. He should have taken the bullet, which would have been a better redemption.

I still hate the man bun.

I completely agree. There was way too much fanservice in this ep to the point I was finding it tiresome, and some of that time should have been spent on the Wai situation, which has been the most central conflict to the story.

This alternate universe seems to not regard being gay as an issue - the hostility was never about anyone being gay, it was consorting with the wrong faculty, so I don't think "outing" was really an issue as it would be in real life - in essence what he revealed was the relationship - it wasn't really any different than if it were a straight relationship.

But there should still have been an apology from Wai, even if his anger was sufficiently motivated as he'd been repeatedly lied to by his best friend, which is very painful. To have made the resolution entirely external and not had any conversation about it made it feel unearned and plastered over.

The gun thing was ridiculous, and the product placement was so intrusive that it took me out of the story. There was too much attempted in this episode and nothing really worked.

That episode was disappointing to me. It's still better than 99% of anything else, but it was not good by Bad Buddy standards. The product placement was out of control - almost a third of the second segment was that stupid tea, not to mention the inhaler.

Also, I thought the resolution of the Wai situation was a bit abrupt, but I guess it's better not to prolong it forever. But the teeny little gun thing was so random and silly.

I'm happy we get to see Pat and Pran interact as boyfriends before the last 30 seconds of the series as is usual for BL, but this episode was fanservice and it was getting annoying. I would rather they spent some of that time on the plot - now the entire family drama is going to be shoved into a single episode and is likely to resolve abruptly and it may feel forced or undeserved.

EDIT: I thought it was 10 episodes, not 12, so it looks like there won't be a rushed conclusion, so yay!

I thought the product placement ruined the episode - it was beyond cringe. Wai made a mistake out of anger but he made up for it. People are flawed - Pat shouldn't have escalated the situation in the bar - that was worse because it was violence.

It doesn't matter how good something is, people will rate it low if it's short. There's a Thai short Country Boy which is one of my very favorites, and it's only an hour. As you said, it's the quality of the story, not the length. I'd rather watch something like Where Your Eyes Linger than a 12 X 45-min episode mess like half of BLs.

Why does everyone always complain about the length? These are films divided into parts. 8 x 12 = 96, which is the average length of a movie. If you view it like that and stop expecting a 9-hour series, you'll enjoy it more. I thought this was well-done and intriguing. There isn't funding for more than this, and until we demonstrate demand by watching and appreciating these, there never will be.

This is such a great show - I don't know why more people don't watch it. The humor is so dry and wonderful, and the cast is hot.

Hopefully that's the end of the tiresome Jean storyline. Now all we need to get past is the tiresome child murder storyline. I just want Krathing to end up happy. Punn too.

There wasn't "Wayu sent to Inner Mongolia"?

Did they really decide on Thanu/Wayu because of a vote?!? That can't be true, can it? Wow - talk about creative bankruptcy.
