Yeah, not even the married couple does anything. Maybe Golf is too busy filing papers for work - no wonder Gun is so ticked off [it's really not about movie night].

Name's made a miraculous recovery. He's just like a completely normal person now. These writers are always just so amateurish, but I guess I'm used to it by now. But what is Name doing since he's recovered? Why is he still just sitting in a room without looking for a job. I'm sure mom would like some help with the household expenses, even if they're saving big time on the therapy bills.

I liked how they developed Gun and Golf's relationship. Early on in this series it was just regressive how they portrayed them, and now they are doing something better than virtually any BL by showing these two in a relationship. I've always stressed that BL's shouldn't be all about the "chase" and should really be much more about the interactions of the couple as a couple. I think the BL crowd is ready for it, and I just don't know why BL's hardly ever go there. It was a nice touch having that other couple discuss gay marriage in Thailand. They were also talking openly about discrimination which was pretty appropriate, and, oddly, never mentioned in virtually any BL.

I'm rooting for the straight story-line as well. Mean really is doing the right thing, and hopefully he doesn't have that university crowd around him anymore that kept pressuring him to drop Chompu. I think the story is similar to the one with Name, and they have a similar theme of not pitying the person you love.

Champ is taking his time forgiving his family. I think the family should tell him to knock it off even if they're giving him time to collect himself. It does look like there's some progress at the end of the episode.

Overall, not a bad episode which just that stuff about Name's recovery being a little jarring. I think they could still be much better if they would just tighten things up.

I think it's Blackberry

The song in the 2nd episode was from another series, but this is really a great new version on here. I swear I hear this song in a lot of other series as well, other than Vice-Versa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7gI7d1D5AM&ab_channel=%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%A5-music456

Really well done. I like the line "high school romance is like a lit candle in the rain". That really captures most high school romances, though not in BL's where the success rate is near 100 percent. It's still really sharp dialogue, just like most of this series. The singing is really a nice touch and very well done throughout. I think even though the ML's are antagonistic to each other, you can really feel the chemistry between them. Just a fantastic beginning. Hopefully they can keep it up.

Just to clarify something below - the rating for this show on MDL is pretty low and is one of the most unfair ratings I've ever seen. Now, the ratings hardly ever change even when the show is over. I just watch the ratings out of curiosity because they never make sense, but they never change much after the show ends - they move like .1 to .2 up or down at the most. I know a lot of people wait to rate the show after it ends, but most don't wait for whatever reason, so there will be little change in the rating, and it is just freaking low for this series. You almost wonder if stans from the various BL studios have downvoted this series to make people think it's badly done. It's definitely not - it's quite brilliant and deserves and 8.3 or better.

Yes, the kiss is obviously interrupted for a reason. There is no doubt about that, and it looks like it might be happening next episode. I think you don't even need it, except I don't like BL's having less kissing than a normal straight drama. I feel certain if this was a het drama they would have already kissed and it would be no big deal. They're in love and people express those things with a kiss. They don't need to even stop if someone enters the room, because, who cares? Gus doesn't care so why stop every time he approaches?

And I agree about recommending this drama. It's quite different. The premise is interesting. The pacing and acting are also pretty decent. Overall, it's very enjoyable.

This episode was pretty somber. I was surprised that they could act so silly at the end with the comic faces, but perhaps it was a good stress reliever. I really like the story of the ML's and the romance between them is really developing well this episode. I don't know what the chronic case of kissus interruptus [I'm borrowing that line from another commenter], is due to, but it seems the affliction might finally end next episode. I like all the suspense and drama in this series as well, and it seems to be getting better with each episode. It's horrible how Sis was killed, and I've lost all interest in the other gay couple, but I guess it's different having one gay couple hunting down the other one as psycho killers. What a unique BL this has been, and I'm looking forward to how this concludes - really very well done if you ignore the details of the science and other inconsistencies that crop up.

Hardly any BL's make sense, and when science is involved, even less so. You can ignore the science and enjoy the story. In general, end of the world stories usually rest on flawed premises whether BL's or not.

Thank you, for the beautiful sentiment. I will always remember this drama which has been something so transcendant and beautiful. It is as meaningful as this poem to me, and is the best expression of the genre that possibly exists.

That was an incredibly moving ending. I was really in awe of what happened. Mitsuru and Koichi's love making was so gentle and powerful, and one can see how that last love-making session was so spiritual the way they did it. This was truly a mesmerizing and unforgettable climax. I love how while they were sitting on the bed they were just reminiscing about the sex they just had, and were just so resigned as well as contemplative. Then soon afterwards, the torrent of tears from Koichi as he knows he will be forever separated from Mitsuru was just seering in its intensity, and one of the most memorable scenes of anguish I've ever seen - it was just so well acted that I'll never forget it.

The long goodbye of this finale with Mitsuru crying for Koichi's loss with his father, and yearning for him for years in his stoic way, was very difficult to bear yet quietly beautiful to watch. He is forever reliving his moments with Koichi, and that is the meaning of the title because it is his eternal yesterday, and the meaning of this title is conveyed perfectly in his somber, yet joyous acceptance of his love. Perhaps to some the memory of the love of someone who is dead is just a burden, but for others it is the fire that keeps them living, and I believe that is what Mitsuru experiences. The life Mitsuru had before was bleak and Koichi brought all the brilliance of life to him, and his love is what helped create Mitsuru's future. Everything about Koichi was giving and nurturing like the rain that replenishes life, and that was the meaning to me of what Mitsuru meant that Koichi came with the rain.

Yep, in real life. I think she's supposed to be playing just a regular gal on this show, though.

One of the worst ratings in MDL history - I mean in unfairness. This show is just done masterfully. How can people be so unappreciative? You don't have to like what the show is about, but, get real, this was done with far better skill than hardly any other BL series I've ever seen.

I was all ready for another torture-fest episode, and what a surprise. I was playing the Resurrection symphony in the background and this dead carcass of a show came back to life. Shogun is back on the platter, and Green has been thrown out like yesterday's moldy muffin. Thank you, Lord, and there was even a kiss, and we're at least back into post-homophobia Thailand [at least on the silverscreen]. I'm hoping that we get naked sex with Maito and Shogun next -ok, I meant a slight peck on the lips, but I'm glad at the unbelievable turn of events. Maito's brother really stole the show, and I loved his Mr. Roboto cock-block dance. He's got to be the most alive character in this whole show.

This whole episode was actually kind of enjoyable. There was just a lot of tension with the love triangle, and things are going to be super uncomfortable when Maito has to work with Green again. Well done construction of drama for the last few episodes! Also a beautiful setting with the tea plantation and Maito's beautiful rustic home.

The ending was occurring from the beginning. You will experience this ending for most of the eight episodes of this series. It's a unique way to make a show, and it's still very sad even if you know what's coming, but it's like travelling down a dark corridor where you will see the light after a long journey, like people who have a near death experience. Through Koichi's eyes you see someone who is going to some place like heavan, and he's in a pleasant place and is saying his goodbyes, and the burdens of the world are off his shoulders. From Mitsuru you see a desolate place full of death, and a long road of sadness because he can never reclaim Koichi, who is slowly fading until he is only a memory. Mitsuru's only consolation is that he gets to see Koichi for a brilliant few moments before he dies, lessening the impact of his death, and, hopefully, that is enough for him to move on with his life. The light I'm talking about is like a shining sun of their love which illuminates this dark journey at the end and will remain impressed upon you, even though Koichi is dead and Mitsuru is desperately sad, because I think the love carries on after this is over. I think Mitsuru travels in the land of the dead, and will come back to his normal life with a vision of what Koichi's love was.

It's just amazing how well constructed this series is. Just the skill in directing and the acting makes it one of my favorite series of all time. I really like this more than virtually any BL - it's really eye opening, and the realism is just refreshing. Several of the stories had happy endings so this not all just angst, just like in real life. This is all about the messed up world - all the good, and bad mixed together in a tossed salad that never ceases to surprise you. I don't like Achi or Fern but I know who they are, and I like the depiction of flawed people. Most is flawed as well but to a lesser degree. No one is perfect. This drama is about taking people from the real world and making a movie out of their lives, and that movie is set on a movie stage - it's sort of like a fun house mirror. This is really very intelligent, and innovative. I'm going to miss this series when it's done. I certainly feel it is very underappreciated, and hope that it will catch on in the future.

It’s very very sad, but the ending is so anticipated that the tragedy of Koichi’s death is more acceptable, or we are more acquiescent to it. I’m not fighting the ending and I will not feel jarred by it. I can appreciate the loss of Mitsuru as a slow dissipation of his love for the living Koichi until he becomes completely a spirit who he loves only through his imagination. It’s a gift given to him to say his farewell and experience as much of his lover’s physical form and thoughts before he passes away- an experience that no one else in the world has ever had. In the long years after someone dies, I’m not sure how much this helps, but it does provide some closure where none would have been possible if Koichi had just died instantly. It’s a profound exploration of death and its meaning. Perhaps some people on here have not had someone snatched away from them suddenly, but it is a terrible experience and it makes the world seem a very impersonal and disturbing place, and even a few words from someone who is about to pass away can help alleviate that feeling in a very significant way.

Did anyone else think they were going to introduce Golf's two gay dads, this episode? Maybe that's even a little too advanced for BL's yet. Well, they had the arranged marriage of two guys in Cutie Pie, so I thought it would have been possible. When they introduced him, I thought Golf's dad was gay, for sure, and then they were going to pan to the other gay father who was going to be equally flamboyant, but, unfortunately, I guess not. Well, it doesn't really matter, anyway. The important thing was that they were really hyper supportive [like tone it down, already, lol].

Finally some resolution to these crazy plots. This drama would have been much more applauded if they had avoided several contrived, and illogical ideas. The gang and especially Em shouldn't have waited several years before visiting Name. Gun and Golf shouldn't have waited years before revealing themselves to each other. Name shouldn't have had to wait years to find out who N was. Champ should have been able to visit his Grandpa at least once before he died. The wig should have been destroyed a century ago. If these things had been avoided, this might have been one of the best BL dramas of the year.

This episode had a ton of positive events, that have far less impact than they should have. People are just too disgusted by Em to like all the good things he's doing here, like finally visiting Name in his moment of greatest need, or even for helping Champ resolve his feelings for his grandpa. Nonetheless, I really like how he comforted Name in such a loving, and considerate way. Finally, although a hundred years late, he also expresses how sad he is for what Name is going through. I know he just learnt the story behind why Name had become a selective mute, but there was enough to sympathize with way before this happened. There was always something subtle about the portrayal of the mom, that underground guilt she had that the actress portrayed so well, and we see now why she had that guilt. She's also a little bit of that angry person that told her husband to go ahead and shoot himself. They actually drew her character very well in this drama in a surprisingly sophisticated way for these sloppy screenwriters. Those scenes where Name says his mom's name and asks for her forgiveness were beautiful.

I really loved Champ's reading the letter he wrote about his grandpa in class. It was very sweet and I can see how his grandpa always had that glowing affection for Champ. They really did that well in this episode. That crying of Champ reminiscing about his grandpa was really very moving, and you feel how strong the loss is for the most benign figure in his life. I also like how they depicted the sadness of Champ's family as they see that he is still unable to forgive them [well they deserve that]. It just seemed very true to life, and very well done.

A surprisingly good episode, that redeems a lot, but comes a little too late to help make this a drama I could recommend [but maybe with a lot of caveats]. I know a lot of people thought they spent too little time with each character, but it's more how ineffectively they used the time that dragged this whole series down.

Golf just needs to throw Arts legs up in the air and do it already. Does the other gay couple need to show them how to do it? After they stop trying to kill them, maybe they can help provide training. They can first grab those condoms out of Golf's hands and throw them out the window. Sis and Gus have to stop being prying perverts and give them some time to get it on. What do they think they're doing in there by themselves? Or since the world is ending, anyway, just don't stop and let Sis watch if she wants to. Poor Sis seems like she would enjoy that, and they need to give her a farewell gift before leaving her forever, anyway.
