"they stopped paying attention to the kids" - when I saw it I was sure one of the kids would run away and/or be hurt, Sand blaming Eiq and/or Eiw blaming himself, and a lot of drama ensuing. I was disappointed they missed the chance of making Eiw cry again. That said, this episode has been the best so far, with Eiw's despair absolutely credible (and beautifully acted by Earth), and Cake starting to realize his feelings for Eiw.

The prefects would be too obvious anyway. Thua, not as a spy, but out of pure curiosity, would be a nice twist.

Makes sense. Will be interesting how and when he'll reveal his identity. But who took the notebook?

This series has been growing on me. First and Khao have been excellent from the beginning, and the scene with Khan holding Thua's hand was beautiful acting from both Neo and Louis. I'm very excited now to see where this is going. Who took the notebook - and who is Bruce Wayne?

It's poor writing and boring all over. Most of the side characters don't contribute anything to the story, and there are so many cringe moments that it's simply embarrassing. Most of the actors need acting lessons, too.

I like this more every week. Amagi is just cute, and it's good to learn what kinds of thoughts Takara hides behind his mask.

Only 1 episode of this terrible series left, so I think I'll stick to it - exclusively for Gameplay and Cheetah.

The first 2 episodes were a promise, which feels like it wasn't kept, because episode 4 was quite weak.

I'm already sad that it will be complete next week. I'll miss it. Some of the dialogues made me laugh out loud this week.

After episodes 1 - 5 set the bar so high, I was a little skeptical if the other episodes would keep up this standard, but episode 6 prove they do. The plot twist at the end of this episode makes me wait excitedly for next week.

I think the main reason is that we've had conservative governments most of the time who retreated to what they said were Christian principles. One of those principles is that a child "belongs" to the woman who gave birth to them. Btw surrogate motherhood is illegal in most European countries, except Ukraine, Russia and a few others.

In Germany, surrogate motherhood is illegal, which is why is was often "outsourced" to Ukraine where it is legal and a thriving "industry". Now German couples have problems getting the newborn babies to Germany if the surrogate mother is still in Ukraine, or, even more complicated, if the surrogate mother has fled to Germany, she will have to keep the baby herself under German legislation. The only way out in the latter case would be an adoption, which may not be granted if it is proven that the baby is a result of surrogate motherhood.

I wish everybody had a Jean in their lives (who is the only reason why I'm still watching, well he plus Tanwa), and I'm sure I'll forget this terrible series when the finale has been aired.

It's really weird. In literally every Bl series a guy who has a little bruise is taken to hospital or at least the infirmary. but Sun almost dies, and either someone gives him an apple or "heals" him telepathically. Take that boy to hospital, Kim!

I didn't like the helicopter scene. Something bad is going to happen - the question is who will be killed. Thanks to the sophisticated script we won't be too shocked unless it's Rain.

I like the true-to-life approach of this series which doesn't hide that even a country which seems to be relatively open-minded with respect to the LGBTQ community like Taiwan isn't a bed of roses for gay couples who dare lead a life as a family.

I'm really enjoying this - the cast is adorable, the frequency of annoying tropes is bearable, and the OST is beautiful. The script has some holes, especially with respect to the second couple, but all in all this is another nice Taiwan BL series.

"Symposion" isn't a book about Plato, but by Plato, where a number of people, among them Socrates, discuss various concepts of love. Plato develops his idea of "Platonic Love" in this discussion.

MindTrio is based in Bangkok - I didn't say they aren't. With "Bangkok boys" I mean those students who just make some extra money acting in BL series without any acting skills or talents.

That would be great. The Once in Memory movies were extraordinary as well, although they were more like "normal" BL movies, but both Rossi and Non were amazing, and the movies felt so much more authentic than most BL series.

Chiang Mai seems to be a good place for creating movies. Wayufilm is also doing a great job, and even TB's "Hometown's Embrace" had this Chiang Mai charm although it cannot compare to MindTrio or Wayufilm productions.

I thought this would be an exciting series because of the parallel universe thing. But that has been forgotten by the writers, it seems. Now they are calling Tay and Perth to come and rescue the sinking ship, and honestly, those scenes with Perth make Jimmy and Sea look like beginners - which is what they are.
