That quirky shop selling both booze and flowers, which was missing in episode four, is where Sunshine has these really insightful talks with the owner and this one employee. I've always felt the booze is like a buddy for the heartbroken, and the flowers are all about keeping hope alive in love. Makes me wonder, could the owner and that employee, kind of like the Cupid Reaper, actually be more like fantasy figures or some sort of gods in disguise?

I've picked up on something: Sunshine doesn't really open up about his family. He hasn't shared why he's all alone, juggling work and school. During that blow-up with Kyu, Kyu said something that really seemed to hit a nerve, like it dug up some painful memories for Sunshine. I'm starting to think, with Kyu being this 'Cupid Reaper' and all, he might have a clue about Sunshine's past. Basically, I'm wondering if there's more to the story between Sunshine and Cupid that we haven't seen yet.

And about Norma having her maid try to wipe those footprints off the wall, but they just wouldn't budge - could that be a metaphor for some things in life being impossible to change?

Your take is spot on with what's been on my mind, and it's all about what's brewing between Sunshine and Kyu. Kyu being dubbed the 'Cupid Reaper' is such an oxymoron, right? It’s like mixing Cupid with the Grim Reaper. In my eyes, the Cupid Reaper could be someone who either kills love or kindles it. At this point, I'm kinda rooting for Sunshine to go through all these mess-ups and finally wind up with Kyu.

Anyone who's been betrayed by someone like Rain, forced into a breakup and then called immature, would be rightfully angry and sad, right? But why can't I see any of that in Sunshine? In the last four episodes, all he's doing is impulsively trying to get back with Rain. It just doesn't make sense to me.

Thinking about it, if their names are symbolic, rain and sunshine hardly ever happen at the same time, except in a sunshower. So, if Rain is as unpredictable as the weather, that might explain his ridiculous and out-of-the-blue breakup excuses.

Honestly, I have no issue with Rain wanting to break up, or even him falling for someone else. After five years, if the love isn't there, then it's time to call it quits. I've seen a lot of people commenting on how they don't like Rain's character. I don't exactly hate him, but his reason for breaking up just seems so lame to me. Why can't he just be straight-up and say, "I'm not in love with you anymore, I've fallen for someone else"? Blaming Sunshine for being "immature"? That's just a weak excuse.

Based on today's episode, Sunshine met Rain five years back, right? I'm not getting it wrong, am I? Man, five years is a pretty long time!

I'm wondering why Sunshine is so hung up on Rain. In today's episode, he seemed really unfazed by his ex's departure.

I'm thinking about something. What if Sunshine keeps erasing different people and ends up altering Kyu's destiny by chance, leading them to fall in love in the real world?

Yes, exactly. This concept resembles a common theme in time travel narratives where altering past events leads to unintended consequences in the present, especially in personal relationships and individual histories.

In the fourth episode of "7 Days Before Valentine," the visual storytelling really shines, giving us a deeper peek into Kyu and Sunshine's worlds. There's this memorable moment where Kyu is on a bridge over Bangkok's Chao Phraya River. Watching the ferries move under the early morning light, you can't help but feel drawn into his thoughtful, somewhat melancholic world. It's a quiet scene but speaks volumes about what's going on inside him.

Then we swing over to Sunshine's place, and it's like walking into a mixtape of eras. His apartment has this old European charm, but it's lived-in, with walls that could tell a hundred stories. And right there, amidst the simplicity, is this eye-catching orange lamp. It's a special piece, a 1970s design by Giancarlo Mattioli & Architetti Città Nuova for Artemide. It's not just a random prop; it feels like a window into Sunshine's personality. Maybe it's a nod to his taste or a link to a past life. It's these little details that make the show more than just a story – they make it a world you can lose yourself in.

Episode 4 does a fantastic job of using these settings and objects to flesh out Kyu and Sunshine. It's not just about the dialogue or the plot; it's how everything in the background talks to us, adding layers to their stories. The way the old blends with the new, and how something as simple as a lamp can tell you a whole backstory, it's storytelling at its most visually engaging.

Mork's mirror moment is gold – all decked out and cologne-spritzed for dinner. But get this: Day playfully says the scent isn't really Mork. Isn't that sweet? Like, finding the right fragrance is a lover's secret skill.

Then there's Mork, cigarette in hand, but wait – he remembers Day's sharp nose and ditches the cig. Talk about love in the little things.

This BL drama? It's romance with a capital R.

Three episodes down, and I’m all in on the Kyu-Sunshine dynamic.

In "7 Days Before Valentine," we've got Sunshine, who's prepping to play the devil Mephistopheles in a commercial, and to get into character, he's deep-diving into "Faust" at home.

But here’s my take - I'm somewhat familiar with Goethe's works (not an expert, mind you), and I'm not really seeing a clear tie between this BL drama and Goethe's "Faust." So, I'm watching it as its own standalone story.

We're three episodes in, and I'm totally hooked on the Kyu and Sunshine storyline. I've got this feeling that Kyu has walked a path similar to what Sunshine is facing now.

Seriously, I’m super excited to see what episode four brings!

Thanks for your input! I tend to lean towards what the second source mentioned, because Billy seems pretty tall in his shows. Actually, when I first read that he was only 170 cm, I didn’t even bother to look it up further. But, height aside, his acting in ‘The Sign’ totally captivated me.

You know, you’ve got me totally crushing on Phaya (that’s Billy 🥰). In the show, he’s all masculine. But the way he pins Tharn down, that cross hold - it’s perfectly executed. Strong, but not too rough or aggressive. Just spot on! Honestly, his real height doesn’t even matter to me. It’s his charm, that perfect balance of masculinity without being pushy, that really gets me.

I think I've told you before that I like tall guys. On screen, Billy seemed the tallest among the group of five, so I thought he was really tall. But then I Googled and was surprised to find out he's only 170cm.

OMG, you totally know how much I adore Billy now – I just called 'Babe' 'Billy'!

Girl, your grammar is on point, and I’m totally living for the vibes in all your comments, especially when you dish about Babe (Pavel) and Tharn (Billy).🥰💕

Oh darling, in the sparkling universe of our sisterhood, fangirling is absolutely the most fabulous and enchanting form of literature and poetry!

After reading through the comments here, I’d like to humbly share some insights I gained from my university courses on this topic.

Sex refers to biological differences, such as chromosomes and reproductive organs. Gender is a social construct encompassing roles and behaviors that society attributes to men and women. Sexuality is about a person's romantic and physical attractions. Sexual orientation is the direction of those attractions, whether toward the same sex, the opposite sex, both, or beyond traditional categories.

For instance, an individual may be biologically male (sex), yet identify as female (gender), and feel romantically and physically attracted to men (sexuality). In this context, if her attraction is aligned with her gender identity, her sexual orientation would be classified as homosexual, as she is drawn to individuals of the same gender identity.

Considering the character Yai, whom I adore, it’s intriguing to think about the different possibilities regarding his sexual orientation. If Yai is attracted to his partner regardless of their gender identity before and after transition, he might be bisexual or pansexual. If he's attracted solely to the partner's male identity, it suggests a homosexual orientation. Conversely, if Yai's interest begins after the partner's transition to a female identity, it could imply a heterosexual orientation.

As a heterosexual female fan of BL dramas, I strongly support and respect gender diversity. Seeing a transgender actor in "The Sign" fills me with pride. It's a progressive step towards inclusivity in entertainment, enriching the story and reflecting the diverse spectrum of human experiences. For fans like myself, this representation is a celebration of the beauty in diversity.
