I loved that! Awesome movie. Sweet, funny (Jane!), and I still cried my eyes out both from sadness and happiness. Totally recommend this. The wife was just perfect, a total realist and trooper. I've said this about countless the cute, fluffy, little BL dramas about the toxic women in them trying to get their men back from their male lovers... it's totally not worth it. If your man has left you for another man, you should just stop now. Even if you get him back, nobody will ever be happy in that arrangement. Especially you.

However.... can I just say? Holy Steroids Kritsana Maroukasonti! He had to have gained 50 pounds of muscle in 3 years. It even changed his face structure. It was weird to think of both of the Oats from the two movies as the same guy.

I'm pretty sure the older guy driving the car is a recruiter for a host club or gay prostitutes. Some hints:
1. Even though the main was pretty desperate for work, he didn't initially take the job from the older guy.
2. The older guy talks about how many of the kids that work under him are high schoolers and how he still has a baby face, which seems to be in demand.
3. Both the Second Lead and the older guy say the same phrases about "paying attention to detail because customers notice things like that" when tying the Main Lead's shoelaces.
4. The older guy asks the Main Lead if he's nervous when he gets in the car and drives him off.

So, the Second Lead being in the car is kind of bad news all the way around. It means the older guy sent the Second Lead to the Main Lead because the older guy knew the Main Lead's story (about his previous lover leaving him) and figured as soon as the Second Lead left the Main Lead in a similar way, the Main Lead would come crawling to the older guy for work as he would have lost his last shred of dignity.

This little short is kind of a sad and evil thing. Everyone in that car are most likely off to a customer's house to work.

This is a total waste of time. It made no sense in any way whatsoever.

As far as a Season 2 goes, my guess is that Talay is busy filming My Engineer 2 as King right now. (And that's ok with me, cause as much as Talay and Yoon are quite cute together here, Talay and Perth are really hot together in ME.) Hopefully, Lay can free himself up for a few more episodes of this soon. Yoon should be wrapping up his part in My Ride by now.

As far as the end goes, I have no clue. But I didn't understand the end of the first season, so why should I understand the end of this? YYY is a fun, beautiful ride. I just go where the writer takes me, then smile and go, "Uh huh. Sure. That's perfect." Just enjoying whatever acid trip inspired thoughts the writer of this series felt the need to convey to us.

I hate to break it to you, but there is no GL in this. And really, the girlfriend of the ML is just a big ol' huge B**ch who happens to talk to her friend from time to time. I don't think her friend shows up in 3 of 5 episodes at all. She probably has maybe 10 minutes of screen time/ talk over the phone time in the whole drama. I was sad after reading the description too :(

Views of Love: Gray Rainbow - Awesome little show. Four 1:15 minute episodes, but it was beautiful. Both the story and the setting and even the tragic wedding. Bring tissues!

This is a sweet little slice of life drama. Well acted and well written. No over-the-top acting. No wooden lines or acting. It's worth your time if you're looking for something calm and nice.

Non/Dad was a manipulative douchebag and the "lesson" in gray areas at the end can kiss my behind. The acting in this is lovely from everyone. I, personally, hated the story though.

No. Not at all. I mean, Tharn isn't Lhong's friend anymore if that counts as "dealing with" Lhong sending 3 men to gang rape a 16 year old and all the other totally and completely crappy schemes he pulled on Tharn's potential lovers. He is still running around and not in prison where he should be and Tar is still seriously messed up. In fact, Lhong seems to be getting a redemption "I had a lonely, terrible childhood and I really really loved Tharn" arc, which, for the record, I'm not on board with. I'm also pretty sure Techno and his rapist Keng end up as a couple at some point in the future as I've read ahead a bit (not yet filmed - "How to Secretly" novel by MAME). So no, absolutely not. The rape-y stuff has not been dealt with.

Frickin' Covid. I assume we'll get some sort of release date for Season 2 when this whole pandemic thing calms down? We for sure need a season 2. Good show though.

If you are a bored BL fan and catching up on some older dramas during the pandemic, be aware that although there are a ton of familiar BL actor faces in this drama, there is no BL to speak of. There are gay characters, but no BL. For me, that made this drama incredibly weird. Watching so many familiar faces (Off, New, etc.) seriously try to go after girls was just wrong.

Although I found this watchable, there are way too many characters and coupling going on for there to be any sort of in-depth character growth for anyone. There was no room for any single character to stretch and learn from anything that happened to them. The characters were either "heartbroken" or "in love". It's fluffy in the extreme. Something you will watch, and completely forget 2 days later. And some of the couples that ended up together here will just piss you off.

Serious question though... does anyone know why the actor who played Cable, Phanuphong Wongthom, just disappeared after doing Room Alone and Room Alone 2? According to MDL he's never appeared in another Thai drama. I found his acting to be some of the best of the bunch here and he was adorable. Just wondering if something happened to him, or if there was some sort of scandal or just why he fell off the face of the earth acting-wise after doing this?

This was kind of adorable. David made some awesome friends and grew up a bit along the way.

This show was weird. The subject, script, and especially the ending felt like a slap in the face to the BL genre. Like "God" conquers love kind of thing... even if parts of the script kept up the "who cares whether you like a female or male, love is love" trope of most BL dramas, the ending kind of cancelled all of that out.

That being said, it was also kind of terrible in other ways. The acting was pretty amateurish. The scenes that were supposed to be heartfelt... weren't as the actors wouldn't even look at each other and the camera tended to be far away from the subjects. So, poorly shot, poorly acted, really poorly edited, and a terrible script that felt like it was trying to make me dislike a genre of dramas I like. At least it was short.

She is such an amazing actress. She always seems to show up just when someone needs her in her drama roles. And she is completely amazing in "3 Will Be Free". Someone please give her a main role.

I was honestly angry that his sister was at the house to pick up the pieces after he was outed in Tharntype. I was physically angry that she gave him a hug.

They can show me all 20 years of Lhong's sad pathetic life and I will never care about that character in any way. Until he goes to jail for what he did to Tar, that little psychopath can go DIAF for all I care. I'm never going to cry for him. MAME made him too evil for any sort of redemption arc outside of prison.

I'm still never going to feel sorry for Lhong or come close to forgiving that character until he goes to jail for what he did to Tar. No matter how many characters in this drama forgive him and no matter how sad or pathetic that little psychopath's life is.

Ya... I think they just ran out of time to develop her more. They threw a lot in there for such a short drama. And they did what they did manage to actually cover, well.

I liked the "forgive but not forget" part too. I'm both sorry there wasn't more of her and relieved there wasn't as I'm sure she would have been there to throw a wrench in the relationship between Cai and Gav. Frankly, I'm sick of the antagonists in so many of these BL dramas being girls and women. I don't know about anyone else, but if I were dating someone and they told me they liked someone of the other sex, I'd kinda be done with that relationship, ya know? It seems really foolhardy for these girls to "fight" for someone who will never be able to give them any sort of a passion in the relationship. At that point, all you're fighting for is your pride. There are too many of these girls and women in BL stories. The writers need to find another trope.

Do y'all realize that in 13 short episodes running from 24 to 40 minutes long, this drama dealt with?:

Coming out to your parents
The guilt of causing your parent to die
First gay relationship and all the baggage that comes with that
A quarantine and the loneliness and solitude that comes with that
Jealousy - proper and justified jealousy. Both of them had good reasons to be insecure. Not the BS we usually see in BL dramas
An insanely awesome female friend and and they touched on an insanely terrible one that pushed Cai out of the closet before he was ready
A first kiss from a guy - a real kiss too, not just that stupid lip touching crap.

And they did all of this over a "split screen" where reacting to your acting partner had to be hard as hell. This drama, especially considering (or perhaps because of) they filmed all of it during a pandemic, is absolutely amazing. It's something I would recommend to everyone, not just BL fans.

If you're wondering if you should watch it, you definitely should. 10/10.

I can't get over that completely passionless bed scene (that the powers that be decided to subject us all to twice.) It was like it was the very first scene the two actors shot directly after meeting each other. Ryu and Net at least seemed to like each other in some of the previous episodes. Seriously... did they shake hands for the first time, read the script, and then walk over to Pun's bedroom set and start undressing each other and placing their lips on each other's bodies (I refuse to call that kissing)? It was totally cringworthy.
