I’m sure you probably get it now if you reached the middle of ep 1. Basically, the Joe that we see on screen fell off the cliff, then he woke up in a younger body (also named Joe) - The new body supposed to look better than the old Joe. We, the audience, still see the old Joe on screen (I’m glad they made it that way since Poom’s actings & visuals are top notch) but everyone else see the person in the mirror (played by Winner) so no one know he’s the old Joe. So you understood it correctly.

The guy in the model ads at the hospital is Ming…then you’ll get to see their backstory from 3 yrs ago in ep 1-4

😂 I was yelling at Ming too…Why don’t you catch Joe and had him roll down the stairs! 🤬🤣🤬 I guess Ming was just too shocked and in reality you just can’t react in time during that split second.

Also, they can’t really do the family drama part like the novel since Ming’s family were all big military commanders and that’s powerful in China. And Ming’s dad was way worse in the novel (he only let Ming out of the house when Ming promised to get married later)…So I’m glad the series didn’t do that and we get to see Ming’s smart/spoiled side when he pretended to throw up 😂

They can’t really do the family drama part like the novel since Ming’s family were all big military commanders and that’s powerful in China. I don’t like that they kinda give Tong a redemption arc in the series, but I don’t really like the last part of the novel either…In the novel, I feel like nothing much happened to Tong and the bad sister was still by his side. Only Tong’s father get affected…Ming & Mike in the novel said they couldn’t do much because Tong+the bad sister are still part of their family. But the dad was even worse in the novel, he beat Ming so hard when he retaliated against Tong and Ming was in a cast. And the dad didn’t really accept Joe and the grandpa had to intervene, saying that they’re still young and will break-up eventually. In the series, I hate the kidnapping part too, but I think Joe’s protecting Ming will be the reason that makes Ming’s father accept their relationship.

I like that the series didn’t do the marriage thing like the novel. We even get to see Ming’s smart/spoiled side when he pretended to throw up 😂 For the last ep, I wonder if they will make Tong lose his fame and quit the entertainment industry…Tong need to get some comeuppance for his manipulative behaviors. In the novel, Joe just ignored Tong since he wasn’t envious or felt bother by Tong anymore.

I think we will get a HE since this series follow the book pretty closely except the mafia/usury + kidnapping part. They can’t really do the family drama like the novel since Ming’s family were all big military commanders. Based on the preview, I think when Joe opened that door, he will see a flashback of how much Ming suffered when the old Joe disappeared 3 yrs ago…Then we all know how Joe is pretty soft hearted and based on his trend …No matter how many times, Joe will still choose Ming. His heart is simping for Ming…Don’t think Joe will let us down this time 😂 He will probably close that door and choose the first one to go back to Ming.

For the original body, I don’t think Joe gonna get it back. The older Joe didn’t want to die, but the younger Joe didn’t want to live (he jumped into the river himself) and if you notice both Joes have the same birthday (except the year) so that’s probably why they let the older Joe come back in this new Joe’s body.

I think when Joe grabbed that door, we gonna get to see the flashback of Ming’s suffering when old Joe died…I’m looking forward to that flashback since ep 4 😭 And based on Joe’s trend…we all know who he gonna choose.

Here’s the preview: https://youtu.be/5Y3pTQupxQA?si=zs803MaBufkcfxvx

No matter how many times, I’m pretty sure Joe will always choose Ming 😭 His heart is full of Ming Ming Ming… Joe, you can’t let me down this time lol

I think we gonna get to see Ming’s suffering when he found out Joe fell off the cliff…And Joe will always choose Ming, no matter how many times, his heart is just simping for Ming 😭

OMG…It’s so good. If you haven’t started it yet, you should give it a try. I was so hooked since ep 1. Plot is great, mature romance, strong ML & FL and most importantly HE!

The romance is slow in the first 10 eps but you can see their chemistry build up and the romance speed up more starting from ep 13. Love their romance…It’s very mature, no stupid misunderstanding, no annoying SFL or SML (bc the king is enough…he’s like a SFL 😂 good thing he only interfered towards the end). ML & FL never waver for someone else…There’s a small breakup from ep 33-36 but they still run into each other and kinda work together so it’s not annoying.

They basically said that this series should have been/could easily be made into 16 episodes instead since there’re still a lot left…

So kinda like how we wish this series will have more eps…Not ready to say goodbye yet 😭

I think it’s because the couple mugs are broken and glued together so I don’t think anyone would use them in real life lest they may break again. Joe was being sarcastic and tried to piss Ming off when he mentioned the mugs.

That’s a smart move…I read the book and couldn’t resist the temptation and started to binge watch it after ep 8 and now I’m just suffering, waiting for Friday to come faster. 😭

I like the series more than the book…the plot, characters and the actors are amazing! And I’m glad Poom play both Joe's in the series

In the novel, the lawyer thing was done by Ming’s mom (maybe a bit instigated by what Tong said to her)…we’ll see if they gonna change it in the series but it will definitely be someone from Ming’s family and it has nothing to do with Sol.

Ming only had to grovel for a day and Joe gave in. Well, can’t blame him because my heart also went soft looking at his puppy’s eyes…I’m actually surprised Joe was able to hold out for a day 😂😂😂

Ikr I’m not ready to say goodbye to this masterpiece yet. Joe’s place was actually a warehouse near Asiatique The Riverfront…The set team redecorated the warehouse to make it look like on open floor home…Very nicely done. The cost for Joe’s place can vary depending on the location, but it shouldn’t be that high.

OMG ep 10 teaser below is on my repeat list…Let the countdown begin…1 more day til Friday!

The director said they filmed that scene from around midnight to 4am. The streetlight changing from red to green at the end was done by CGI and I love the symbolism. That was truly a beautiful scene of Hua Lamphong…A big thank to the whole crews for their dedications in this series 🙏

Me too…I bawled every time I rewatch that scene, especially the part when Joe confronted Ming 😭 Great acting by Up & Poom!

Joe totally fell in love at first sight…the minute he turned around and saw Ming’s face, Joe is done lol…You’ll be more pissed in the coming eps, but this series is just so good…like an emotional tug of war.

Yes (make sure to watch the special ep)
