I was hoping that they wouldn't add Kim since it is a bit out of character. Thankfully, what he did was kind of smart despite his decision since Alan does not know that Kim already told Pete & Chris and Tony does not know that Kim is working with Alan. Tony thinks that Alan is working alone and he is using that to manipulate him.

I am really hoping that Kim will save the day next episode (if he is in it) once Alan told him about what Tony said to him. Kim is being involved in this mess, but at the same time he is kind of not since he is like a double agent. He can work against Alan by telling Pete more information and saying he is only working with Alan to keep an eye on him, putting him in the clear. He is currently in the grey area where he is not full on betraying the team and he is not full on working with Tony. He can betray anyone without them realizing to get what he wants, which is Dean & Kenta to get out of there.

I am really hoping the writers will not mess up next episode.

They will have individual scenes (don't know how much, maybe 1 scene each), but I don't think they will be reunited. Most likely, they might be together in episode 12.

I am loving that each episode has a full circle moment with Phi telling Tam "if Yong finds out, Phi said he will do a press conference to the world" as a joke and at the end, he actually did!

These parallels, references, full circle moments, and the hints of the little knickknacks in the title sequence being important in later episodes is driving me nuts in a good way!

The fact that Phi called Tam "Tawan" again for the first time in the present!!!

I am loving their relationship development!

I am so surprised we got no flashbacks. This episode works with no flashbacks, but I thought we would have some with Phi meeting Tam's mother for the first time. I wonder if last episode was actually the LAST episode to have flashbacks.

This episode gave me huge SOTUS S vibes with the "I will walk besides you" line and Phi announcing his relationship to the public. This show is like therapy to me!

Part of me wants Boom to make an appearance, so Tae can have a redemption arc lol I love Aou and I love Krist for casting him. He has done an amazing job with this character, but I really want to love the character lol

PERAYA hospital LOL

All of these references are making me super excited for the finale more than I was before!

I can't believe there are only 2 more episodes. I really wish Krist & Singto will have another series together, whether it is a BL or not in the 2026 lineup. If they do have a show, I do not mind what the show contains at all, but I do want them to be in a crime detective mystery show or another romcom with their characters going though marriage and adoption (lol in my domestic feels)

I don't think so with Arin coming into the show. Hopefully, Yong & Gie find love in other people.

I am just here for the ride like you lol the writing is bad, but it is entertaining to me

I have no major complaints for the acting though. It is great to me, but the writing is pretty bad.

No. Season 3 might not happen due to a lot of negative reviews and there is no third book. There probably will be a rushed ending.

Personally, I do not want a season 3 since I am afraid that they might butcher up Kim or Kenta's character. So far, the writing for their characters aligns with their storylines & personalities. If there is a season 3, there better be different writers.

I think the rating might go down after the show ends. Most of the episode ratings are in the 7 range. Usually, people refrain from rating an entire show until it ends. The rating is high due to some people rating after the first episode. They might readjust it after the show ends.

I think he does care about the reason, but he cares more about Tam being back and knowing that Tam still loves him. He is probably trusting him again, so he trust that Tam will tell him. He also probably thought initially that Tam fall out of love or something was wrong with Phi or a selfish reason, so finding out Tam is still in love with him erase those insecurities and theories. He was also distracted that he didn't think much of the reason like before.

I have no idea at this point lol

I think we might get a mention of them dating at the last episode, but no kisses (maybe 1). Since their story is pretty simple, it can be wrapped up quick, so I think they are saving the confirmation at the end and just give us fluff scenes with them before then.

We are not at the second to last episode yet. That is next week. The main conflict could be introduced with the conflict between them & the gang chasing them and them trying to escape the island.

This show is giving me so much healing! There are so many parallels to SOTUS, but there are slight differences, showing times have changed.

I understand where Tam was coming from. I don't think he would let her ship him off to Australia. If he was able to leave her in Australia, I think he is able to resist his mother. I think he would become more resistant to it if he feels like the threat is becoming more real rather than just words. He probably trust Phi to woo his mother over mostly by himself since Tam have been living with his mother for years and can't change her mind since she needs to be able to see change right in front of her.

It is supposed to be awful. He is trying to find girls younger than him, so he wants to dress like their type. Since he is not used to dressing like that, he picked not so great outfits.

Agreed! However, I really like in rom-coms as well, so I want him to do both lol that is a heavy workload

I am hoping they have a series together in the 2026 lineup. I also hope all of PEBACA would have a series together again like I'm Tee, Me Too (doesn't matter if it is a BL or not).

I am guessing a deadbeat like he didn't help around the house or he was an addict that would have emotional bursts or he was unemployed and refused to look for a job or all of it. I don't think the dad is going to be important in the show, so the writers probably didn't want us to think about it too much and just trust her word at face value.

Me too! They do a really great job as villains, but I want their characters to have a redemption arc lol I want to love these characters as much as I love the actors, even though them quickly changing would not make sense

Hopefully, the next 3 episodes will clear everything up. It was a short time from when he found out to when he forgive him, but it didn't feel like a short time to me since the incident with the cat really got Phi thinking and them talking to each other.

lol I am also thinking about how I would react too. Phi's reaction would be mine with me getting mad, but then thinking that him leaving did force me to grow. Even though that was not the right thing to do, the intention was in the right place and he apologized and regretted it. This shows me that he would not do it again and he is open to communication. I think this show really makes viewers put themselves into Phi's shoes. I noticed that people who would react like you would not be okay with this and people who would react like me or have been in a similar situation to this would be okay.

I am glad that they showed he regretted it right away, but he felt cowardly to take it back or fully explained it since he was already at the airport and Phi already saw the message. If he did took it back, his insecurity of feeling like a rebound and like he was holding Phi was still there, so he would have done it again. I am also glad that him being back to fix the mess he caused teach him things and erased his insecurities.

I really love their relationship in real life. I have been watching some interviews and they really have such healthy communication. They do have few moments of non-communication, but they fixed it right away by having long & deep talks. Since I know about their story, I know they might do the same reason, but add in some drama effects to the plot.

I tend to ignore my morals or values when I am looking at characters. As long as it make sense for a character to make the decision, I will not be mad about it. If it does not make sense, but it was a great decision, I will be ticked off. For me, it make sense for Tam to make that stupid decision since it fueled from his insecurity and he believed at the time that it would be best for both of them. Also, since Tam is based off of Singto, when Singto explained his decision on "leaving" Krist, it gives me some insight into Tam's mind, even though Singto communicated with Krist.
