Yes, definitely. Actually both Khaotung and Nanon are doing excellent jobs portraying 55 years old people. You can see all the depth and their story in their eyes.

Exactly! Take your time.

We're still attached to that old idea that people only have two options: you either have to be straight or gay. But remember that human sexuality is as wide as the universe... there's always something new to be discovered. 😉

As far as San, I totally agree with you. It didn't make sense... but I think the problem is that he gave up on life somewhere in the process and just started drinking and losing everything he had. Meanwhile, Jaya just took everything for granted. She thought she had it all and didn't need anybody else.

Thep's story is a little different... yes, he stopped fighting because he was injured, but he brought that to himself by being a selfish prick. And Jinny has the chance to fight for her life and the cancer might even be reversed..

However, that's Thailand we're talking about. There wasn't any other option for Paul in the 70s/80s/90s. It was either follow the rules or be abandoned by his family and become an outcast. This is 2022 and it's still hard for LGBTQI+ people out there (I'm not Asian and I'm 30 years old, but if I hadn't a job I'd be totally fucked because my family would have turned they back on me)

I had this feeling about Pipu too. I also want Paul to be happy, but he lost 55 years of his life; And, to be fair, he is the only character in the show whose life was screwed because of the others (his mother, society, etc) and not because of his own choices (like Jinny who willingly gave up her life or San who drunk himself to the verge of death) .

If they all have to go back to 55, Paul will be getting his heart broken twice. So what's the point? I don't think they would put that audition for a BL l just because and the forget about it. It doesn't make sense for Paul to go back to 55 after they make him fall in love with Pipu. If the writers take this turn, then the show will be completely ruined for me.

I'm hoping they will be given the opportunity to choose between stay 15 and go back to 55. Paul and Jinny deserve a second chance, but I hope the others go back to 55 (including Jaya, because now that she learned her lesson she might have a better attitude and work harder).

The chemistry between Nanon and Grace is just out of this world (talking here about the actors and not the characters). You can totally feel the ageless, transcendentalist love between the characters. I think this is one of the best characters Nanon has ever played. I enjoy his character from Bad Buddy, but I like this one better.

I really try, but it keeps popping up on my feed. I've muted every single word related to the show, yet it still got me. 😭

He didn't say "multiple/alternate endings", he said that each story will have a different kind of ending.

But you remember what he did with 1000 stars, don't you? lol he might give us a happy ending, but he'll make us suffer hell for that.

That's what I fear too.

Now you got me! ❤

So, if the trailer isn't misleading at all, Aof is basically doing the exactly same thing he did with A Tale of a Thousand Stars.

Yes... that part was the highlight of the episode. And I'm sure a lot of people couldn't hold their tears watching that.

You really didn't get my point.

That wasn't what I meant. At this point I really don't care about what's going to happen because the fun was already taken away for me.
First I was just enjoying the show and I didn't really care about the ending, but then came Aof and the screenwriters and got into my head with that tweets and comments, making me overthink things... and it's just bad. Especially for someone with ADHD such as myself.

As I expected, all the the tweeting and teasing by Aof and the crew just completly ruined the experience of enjoying this episode for me.

For the first half of the episode, all I could see was two buddies enjoying a nice friends vacation at the beach. If you guys watch 55:15, you'll see the connection between Nanon's character and his love interest (both the young and the adult version) and you'll probably understand me. It's not a matter of skinship, it's just that the writing or directing really failed to portray two people that ran away because they were in love. Especially with the "it's our honeymoon, let's drink"..

And as for the second half of the episode, it was underwhelming. Through the whole narrative it felt like it was all a building up to something bad to happen next. I just couldn't relax and enjoy it. And now with the trailer for the next episode, the only thing I ask for is, please, not another time jump.

Finally, for now I rather think of this episode as the finale, because I'm far from being excited for episode 12. I'm just disappointed.

Honestly, it was ok. I taught myself not to expect much from Korean BL anymore. It feels like Light On Me was the last good BL they gave us.

Two things I never do when I'm watching a BL series: follow the actors on Social Media and read spoilers/comments on the series. The less I know about the BTS, the better. Unfortunately this time it was all over my timeline and I simply couldn't avoid.
