Something is telling me that if there's planning for at least another season (or a movie ?)...I'm not sure the…
There are talks of a second and third seasons but that would depend on the success of this first season. Hopefully this wonât end in a cliffhanger coz a season 2 is never guaranteed.
I remember this guy was arrested for crypto investment fraud in 2018 with his siblings and it was all over the…
Boom is innocent (corrections welcome lol)
So Iâve finally refreshed my memory of his case which Iâve read during Chains of Heart. So here it goes:
In 2018, Boom was charged with money laundering in relation to his brotherâs fraud case wherein the brother together with other individuals defrauded a foreign investor of his cryptocurrency valued in millions.
Allegedly, some of this crypto was transferred to Boom which he used to buy property. Thus, he was charged with money laundering. Ultimately, the fraud case involving his brother and the foreign investor was settled in 2018. However, Boomâs money laundering case was not settled so it wasnât dismissed.
Thailand, like many countries/state, files and prosecutes money laundering cases. The state/Thailand is considered the victim. Meaning, in Boomâs money laundering case, the foreign investor was not the complainant. The state/Thailand alone was the complainant for his case. The foreign investor had no say in Boomâs case.
What does this mean? Simple, the settlement of the fraud case had nothing to do with Boomâs money laundering case. Facts show that the fraud case was settled in 2018 yet the money laundering case against Boom persisted until 2021. Otherwise stated, the settlement of the fraud case did not cause the dismissal of Boomâs money laundering case. Boomâs case was simply dropped around 2021 without news of why it was dismissed.
As there are no news articles about why Boomâs case was dismissed, I can only surmise that despite prosecuting Boom for three years (2018-2021), the state/Thailand with all its powers and manpower did not prove that Boom committed money laundering. Thus, Boom is innocent.

But he proved he is innocentIf you know that he got arrested then you also know that he prove his innocence. I…
Those so called evidence means nothing. Unless the police/prosecution can prove that he knew where those funds came from and/or knew the funds are proceeds from a crime, him withdrawing funds from his own account which is under his very own name proves nothing. To say otherwise would result in absurdity.
Example: One day you want to buy bubble tea so you withdraw money from your own account, the account where your generous and rich brother/parents transfer money regularly. After enjoying the bubble tea, the police comes and accuse you of fraud just because you withdraw money from your account and bought bubble tea with it. If thatâs the only evidence the police have then no wonder the complainant agreed to a settlement.
Settlement could mean that the complainant and the prosecution didnât have evidence to prove his guilt. Not all people accused of a crime who enters into settlement agreement are guilty. Most people donât like going to court and would do anything to avoid it. Legal fees alone would dissuade even the innocent from going to court.
The police can arrest a person on mere suspicion. The degree of evidence required for the police to arrest a person is not the same as the degree required in court to find an accused guilty or not guilty of a crime.
Also, innocence is presumed. A person accused of a crime need not prove their innocence. Itâs the job of the police/prosecution to establish the guilt of the person accused of a crime in court. Only when the prosecution has established his guilt is there a need for the accused to present evidence of his innocence.
i mean akin could have simply convinced people the photo was from one of his upcoming showsđ why being so dramatic
What dtt said plus he doesnât have a show that involved him getting kissed by a guy. His fans, haters and the media would certainly ask for proof and they would scrutinize any proof he would present. I mean look at real life celebrity scandals, people just love playing detective so even if Akin say itâs for an upcoming show, multiple someones on the internet will present evidence to the contrary. Akin will just be forced to lie and lie and lie and lie with the controversy never laying to rest.
With Jin and Judy, they have their show as proof. Judy also has the reputation of someone who dates all men so her having a thing with Jin is easily acceptable. Their fans, the fans of their ship and the fans of their show would also eat up and hype this âshipping momentâ and would drown anyone claiming the opposite.
I just realized that besides his anger, Jin turned around and approached Akin in that elevator scene to make sure Akin did not misunderstand that cheek kiss given by Judy. We can see that when he deliberately displayed the necklace before he leaned down towards Akinâs face. Dude was mad, and probably nervous about the success of his plan with Judy yet still had the wherewithal to care for Akinâs perception in that moment.
Because sigmas plan was it to ruin akins career and not their own artists. If they released the real pics that…
Yes, plus it would ruin the Jinâs and Judyâs series which looks to be very successful. Jin and Judy managed to make the photos into a shipping moment to promote the show. Sigma may hate akin but just like any business they value profit above all else.
What got you confused so it can be discussed more specifically?
At least three months, maybe 6, maybe 8 months. They started dating but not officially boyfriends when they finished filming gemini and when they both started doing their own projects. From that time, we had akinâs stage play rehearsals, jin started filming his series with judy, akinâs stage play ended but got extended for two more showings, and akin and jin got nominated for their roles in gemini with jin winning best new actor. Then jin & judyâs series is now currently airing during the breakup.
If we base the timeline on Jinâs series with Judy, the filming and post production of a series typically takes considerable number of months so Iâd say Akin and Jin had been together for at least six months to less than a year.
Though definitely they have been together for three months before the leak as per that flashback at the end of ep 9.
okay so am i the only one who felt akin being childish when losing the most handsome award to jin?i mean he won…
Iâm pretty sure Akin himself thinks he was being silly too about the award which is evident when he so easily let go of the matter as soon as he was able to express what he felt to Jin and had himself a little cry. Plus, of course he would be sad about losing the title he had for five years. Akin himself expected to win and once expectations are not met, it is natural to feel sad about it no matter how one tries to rationalize it. If only someone had given him cake and beer and let him rant a little after he lost the title then maybe he can so easily let go of the disappointment like he did when he lost the best actor award. Unfortunately, at that stage he was still so repressed and he did not yet know that he could be himself to Jin. I mean it was all in the dialogue during the rooftop scene.
Additionally, that line he said to Jin on that rooftop scene where he declared that ever since he won that award, he never stopped acting. Upon hearing him say that, one can surmise that he was lying to himself when he claimed that the award did not matter much to him as his goal was to be taken as a serious actor and the number one actor.
As to the maturity, we have to look at two things, i.e. the characters and the conflicts they each face.
Jin at the start of the series had no motivation and goal. It was only when he met Akin did he finally find a purpose which is being with Akin. All his actions throughout the series are dictated by this goal of being with Akin.
Akin, on the other hand, had a clear goal. He wanted to be the number one actor. That is his sole goal. He didnât even want to be seen as a celebrity.
Conflicts. If you look at the show, majority of the conflicts, big and small, had been thrown Akinâs way. Losing awards, losing brand deals, his roles in films/shows being minimized, negative publicity, Johnny, the sasaeng, sigma who is actively bringing him down(though still unsaid) and Jin. Most of all Jin. His biggest conflict is Jin. Jin had him rethinking about himself, his wants , his goals. Just as he had written to his grandmother, finding someone to love made his life complicated. Itâs uncontrollable, itâs confusing and made him feel as if he is not himself anymore.
Otherwise said, Akin is on uneven grounds trying to reconfigure himself to fit his ever changing surroundings and to fit Jin into his life.
While Jinâs life throughout the episodes had been smooth sailing. He became a popular actor easily and quickly. He even made Akin fall for him without much difficulty. The only real conflict had been Johnny. He had already reached his goal which is being with Akin.
Jin appears mature because his life is steady. Nothing is really making him change. His most notable change had already happened in the early episodes when he found his purpose.
Akin, on the other hand, may appear immature because his life is being upended. He is facing new challenges which he is not always best equipped to handle due to his formerly repressed self.
