First!!! I wonder how Papii's going to cope for the 7 days with his grumpy temper?
off & first are only gonna be there for 3 days haha, they need to film not me! but off said he was scared of living with so many guys because he's kind of obsessed with cleanliness lmao :')
I actually enjoyed this WAY more than I thought I would. the characters are lovable, I cared about all the ships for once, the acting was good, the cinematography great & of course I adored how much focused on thai culture (& more precisely thai-chinese culture) this show was. it made me travel through my screen, and it actually had a lot of tropes that I've barely ever seen in thai dramas before like an older couple getting a full-blown relationship arc & even having sex, the female lead not being afraid to express her feelings & desires and not being completely passive, and mostly just more intimate scenes than usual. this was pretty good goddamn show, though personally the ending did leave me a bit disappointed. but I'd totally recommend if slice of life & character development are your thing like me!
so I finally watched with a vpn & raw and yeah... this was extremely bad. the dubbing is atrocious, the acting really not good, oreo (who is the only reason I even watched this) is barely in it and overall this is just badly written & badly executed... honestly it not having eng subs was for the best bc no one should watch it :')
personally, ep 8 is actually the first episode that made me feel something for this show lol. I even cried during aek's rejection of aue, because for me (& that's just my theory until it's confirmed or denied by the show), it's very clear that aek is afraid of having a same-sex relationship. after all he didn't want to take the job at im-aue because his mother wanted "better" for him. so for me it's really clear that aek is afraid of being lgbtq+, especially as an only son, because he's scared it might disappoint his mom which is the last thing he wants to do. I think that shift from "I clearly like p'aue" to the rejection (that does seem to come out a bit from nowhere I must admit) is shown especially when aek's friend confronts him about liking aue. you can see the panic & fear on aek's face which actually tore my heart apart. I think that's when he realized that other people can see what the two of them have and the idea of being in a same-sex relationship publicly became scary to him. but yeah that's just my interpretation. I also really loved the acting in this episode, it was subtle & realistic yet heartwrenching
