I think it would be a better plot twist if Guy turned out to be the real gangster boss.

OMG, the 'pew pew' made me sick with laughter. The writing is a huge mess, and the whole gangster thing is like a 12-year old's perceptsions of what gangster life is like.

You're going to need a bodyguard after that. Although it's been 11 hours and nobody's said anything.

I like that this isn't 100% predictable like most BLs. When August didn't show, I was 100% certain he had been killed and Day would get his eyes, but they didn't take that awful route, although I think we all know it will not be some random person he gets them from, and August is the most realistic target for a White Van of Death.

That was really strong - the writing is good and this has an authenticity to it that usually isn't there - like Day's reactions to Jimmy's flirting - that's how a guy would react. This is emotional without being maudlin, and Jimmy and Sea are hitting it out of the park. I'm so happy - Vice Versa was a huge disappointment for me, and I really wanted them to have a better series, and they got it.

100% NOT. Vice Versa was awful - this is one of the best BLs I've seen. Jimmy was great in Bad Buddy, but did nothing for me in VV - Sea has been good in other things, but also bad in VV. I hoped after that they could get a well-written series that's well-directed, and this is it.

Yes - but I hope the P'Aof curse of not knowing what to do after epside 5 doesn't strike again - I hope they can keep this up all the way to the end.

I thought Vice Versa was one of the worst BLs I'd ever seen, but this one is one of the best. Good writing, directing, and editing are necessary for even the most talented actors to shine. And these two are definitely talented.

Sea is doing a great job - it's not easy to act without using your eyes.

I think it set the standards high for a light-hearted & campy mafia story and would be hard to beat in that category. I don't think it's equal to some of the more serious dramas of the highest quality. I do think the Jeff Satur/Barcode story was 1st rate and would hold up well against the best BLs.

The fat guy is OTT and annoying - it's lazy and unfunny. Just because something is a comedy doesn't mean that everything anyone does in the name of "humor" is beyond criticism. Things like Ten trying to push the bus are organic to the story while being funny. A fat guy being loud and obnoxious isn't funny and serves no purpose in the story. This is a comedy, but it's not a slapstick routine, it's a romantic comedy with a plot - the comedy has to serve the plot, not the other way around.

Off is indeed aethetically appealing. The glasses are working for me, as well as the way his slacks all fit. IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

Aungpao is a perfect match for Neo - it's wonderful when you have two people with great comic timing together.

It's so antiquated to have a fat guy as comic relief - it's cheap and lazy, and they always go OTT with it. Plus the eating like a pig thing is just gross and I can't watch it.

But other than that, the cast is wonderful

I like Peach a lot - I think Guide is carrying the coupling. I don't think it's terrible, I just think it could be something amazing if someone more dynamic than a box of hammers were in the romantic lead role.

I'm definitely looking forward to Poom & Up - that should be epic. I'm also looking forward to 7 Days Before Valentine as I also really like Atom.

I think you're misunderstanding Nuo-En's comments. She didn't say the story was about karma - I'm not sure where you got that.

Those glasses will be the death of me. And I'm not really an ass man, but damn, dat ass.

I wish the larger friend would go away - the "humor" is just too broad from that one and it's annoying.

This episode underscored how much better a series can be with the right actors cast. In this case, that's shown by how amazing this would have been if it had been Guide and Poom instead of Guide and a fencepost. There was more feels in that scene with Guy than I've gotten from Shin the entire series so far. Also, who would pick Shin over Guy? Forget the looks for a moment - the personality and those warm eyes.

This is not a terrible series, but it's really, really dull. It's not a problem with the pacing, it's the total lack of anything interesting between the main couple. Shin isn't just a dick, he's deathly boring,

I have no problem with couples going straight to the naughty stuff, but in this case it wasn't built up enough and it felt way too rushed. If there had been sizzling tension between then, then sure - but there wasn't and isn't.

I couldn't take my eyes off it even if I wanted to, and I don't want to.

Really? I usually find Thai humor cringe but I've actually laughed a few times, like when Off was trying to push the bus. Not all of it works, but it's better than usual, I think.

Yup. Can't take my eyes off it.

OK, I'll give it a shot. The issue wasn't the over-choreographed scene, it was the ridiculousness of the writing - are you telling me that someone has managed to get through what must be years a training on a special forces team and is unaware that's not OK to shoot your fellow soldiers to beat them to a goal?

It lacked any authenticity or realism while taking itself way too seriously. But I really like the cast.
