Exactly! Wi is doing so much work behind the scenes that we barely get to see. The political maneuvering, the way he reads every room, the protection he offers… I’m desperate to see more of how they navigate this world together.

I don’t know if we’re getting a second season, but honestly? I’ll be first in line if we do. And yes, I’ve already started planning how to drag my entire family into watching it with me.

That finale. I’ll admit, it caught me completely off guard. I didn’t see that twist coming, and my first instinct was resistance. It wasn’t the ending I’d imagined, and I’m still wrestling with it a little. They left space for a second season, which I might actually need. Because I’m not ready to let go of these characters, not like this. But maybe that’s the point. Maybe a good ending should make you uneasy. It should stay with you. It should leave you wanting more, even when you’re not entirely sure you liked where it went.

Here’s the thing. Wi is everything. You know that old saying, “behind every great man is a great woman”? It’s been used so many times in straight stories that it barely registers anymore. But this show, this Thai BL, takes that idea and reshapes it into something rare. Dr. Nhong survives politics not only because of his ambition or ideals but because of Wi. Quiet, steadfast Wi, who believes in him, sacrifices for him, and never once asks for credit. He’s not a supporting character. He’s the pulse. From the first episode to the last, he holds the story together.

And Ben. I have to say it. You amazed me. That performance came from somewhere real, and it caught me by surprise. I’m a fan now, completely and without hesitation. The chemistry between you and Boy isn’t loud or explosive. It builds slowly, quietly. It hums beneath the surface. You have to pay attention to feel it. I did. I saw it. And I loved it.

Episode two was absolutely captivating. The punk aesthetic, the way the characters connect with each other, the whole nighttime adventure vibe, Sumiura and Enaga getting closer, and that reveal about Ai’s identity—they packed so much into just 20 minutes. This is top-tier Japanese BL.

Yes, I agree. Otherwise, the sister wouldn’t have left the child in their care, nor would she be fighting for divorce right now (regarding child custody, to entrust the girl to them going forward).

The domestic scenes really hit different—like when Hayama’s making gyoza and Shirasaki’s half-complaining about not enough meat while pulling him into a hug, or when Shirasaki’s putting together furniture and Hayama’s all “we can finally do whatever we want now.” Those moments absolutely nail that giddy honeymoon phase when couples first move in together.

The whiplash between that and the cutthroat audition competition? Chef’s kiss. That’s the kind of dramatic contrast I’m here for.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I haven’t read the original source material, but the first episode had such a mysterious vibe—I was instantly hooked. That magical scale and the cat turning into a human really pulled me in. Can’t wait to watch episode two.

Episode 2’s MVP moment: Khunkhao out here resenting Siwat over his father’s death while still being weirdly into him. The cognitive dissonance is chef’s kiss.

TVer

Totally agree! It’s such a breath of fresh air to see a gay couple who are already together and just living their lives. The domestic parts are low-key sweet — like they’ve settled into love instead of constantly chasing it.

I like that take! It’s true — the show doesn’t frame their relationship as romantic drama, but their everyday care for each other is a form of love. It’s subtle storytelling that trusts the audience to notice those details.

Episode 3 is definitely my favorite so far. Every character feels so vivid and well-drawn, and the pacing is just right. I especially love the scenes between Kai and An.

Then that ending — when Hajime receives the disciplinary complaint and the notice of investigation — completely changes the tone. Suddenly, the story shifts from divorce-case investigations to professional consequences, and the tension rises to a whole new level.

I’ve been hearing from people in the Thai entertainment scene that it won’t be a bad ending, but honestly I’m still not sure 🫣

This whole bit had me cracking up. Prem, Nani, and Parn totally killed it — their acting was on point, and the plot just kept serving chaos and laughs nonstop. I swear, every episode had me grinning like an idiot. The next arc’s probably gonna wreck me too — I’ll be wheezing from laughing so hard, lol. Can next week hurry up already?! Thai comedy hits different, man. It’s like instant therapy with extra glitter.

That leaked video didn’t just embarrass Ice. It basically made him everyone’s punching bag. The whole school’s using his pain to score points — kids tripping over themselves to condemn him so they look good, and teachers hiding behind empty “moral” speeches like that fixes anything. It’s disgusting.

What really gets me is how Ice handles it. He doesn’t explode or break down. He just keeps going, like he’s quietly waiting for everyone else to realize how pathetic they are. There’s power in that calm.

I’m in this for the long haul now. I need to see Ice win. And honestly? I want front-row seats when those hypocrites finally eat their words.

Exactly! You said it perfectly. ONE31 really needs to realize how much international fans matter now. Having English subs ready while the show airs would make a huge difference in global reach. And yeah, since the ratings are still measured the traditional way, the online hype doesn’t get reflected properly—but I’m with you, I bet the numbers for episodes 9–10 are definitely higher!

Totally agree! The series really deserves more love and visibility. But I think the TV ratings were collected the old-fashioned way, right? Like traditional household surveys instead of online view counts? That might explain why the numbers don’t quite reflect how popular it actually is among fans—especially international ones.

So listen, after Episode 10 aired, this show literally broke Twitter in Thailand. It shot up to #4 on the trending list, and by the next morning there were over 36K people losing their minds about it.

That’s basically the energy this series brings, but here’s the tea: the big TV networks are still obsessed with their precious ratings. For the first eight episodes, we were looking at a sad little 0.6 to 0.9.

Now, for ONE Channel’s prime 8 p.m. slot? Those numbers are…let’s just say not it. BUT (and this is a big but) when they dropped tickets for the finale fan event, they sold out THE SAME DAY. So like, clearly somebody’s doing something right here.

The million-dollar question though: HOW are they planning to get Saenkaew and Sasin together in just two episodes?? I’ve been hearing from people in the Thai entertainment scene that it won’t be a bad ending, but honestly I’m still over here like “please, PLEASE don’t fumble this in the last five minutes.”

The suspense is killing me and I need answers NOW. 😭​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I love that take. Put them on a train to Paris, tiny flat over a bakery, new names, old love. I will also accept the Pin redemption route. She wakes up, chooses her brother, and the curse breaks.

I don’t know for sure! Not a spoiler, just a read of the vibes. The timeline and themes point to bittersweet more than rom-com happy. Queer love in 1963 Thailand was dangerous, and the show keeps circling that. I’m bracing for ache, praying for mercy. Best case? A quiet reunion, two old men by the sea.

Let’s pray they won’t 🙏 I’m manifesting the seaside-porch epilogue. Love wins, please 💙
