I haven't started this yet but have seen some shorts about this series. So my question is what's in the story…
to add on, reading the novel isn't necessary but I highly recommend doing so! ๐ reading the novel has enriched my experience w/ this series by 10000% & I read the novel by the 10th ep I think ๐ญ the novel just adds layers to the characters and plot as a whole, you get different POVs.... as for where to read it, it's translated on Wattpad by a user that has "summer" in their name ๐ซถ๐ฝ
IDK why folks want to compare the Thai remakes of Japanese , Taiwanese or Korean series (or vice versa)? Just…
Agreed, especially with this situation as the Japanese version was just that... a version. There's the manga that the whole concept is based off, so of course the Japanese and Thai adaptations differ ๐ญ for some, the Japanese was a hit, for others the Thai hit different but no need to compare the two when they cater to different cultures and as such customs/traditions, mannerisms, humor, etc. ๐ lets just enjoy + experience the magic *insert cherry magic intro song (so lovely, it's my new ringtone โจ๐)* ๐ฅฐ
are you serious? I donโt know if we watched the same show bc you canโt really be comparing an attempted r*pe,…
Yes, Way does say that as his excuse for trying to take matters into his own hands ๐ Tony is the one who wants Babe to have a child, Babe can only have a child if it's with an Enigma, that's where Way comes in... Way has had a mission for the past 10 years and that is to get with Babe; however, as we know Babe doesn't see Way the same way. Now with Charlie in the picture, Way has failed to make Babe fall in love with him and eventually have the child. As a method of desperation, Way goes ahead and tries to force himself on Babe ๐ค his whole spiel of protecting Babe was just what he was probably telling himself to downplay the whole act bc the truth is that if Way were to follow through with the plan Tony would discard Babe (in a permanent way) after getting what he needs from him ๐
Yeah, I know many people feel the same way about Babe giving into Charlie right away. Personally, I love how Babe gives into Charlie bc usually Babe is quite reactive and aggressive with Charlie when there's a misunderstanding. There are a few instances where I wish there had been some time for Charlie to make it into Babe's good graces (like when he found out about Charlie being another adoptive son & the whole absorption of powers) but I know we are short on time... wish they would have cut some ads or product placements to add those scenes ๐ญ
I agree, faking his death was extreme but I recently binged the novel and I found it to be very eye opening! Through the novel, you get Charlie's and Babe's perspective... and boy, the amount of tears I shed ๐ญ Trust me, it wasn't an easy plan to come up with... but it was the only one that could work for them. In fact, Charlie wanted to tell Babe but he truly couldn't bc of Way. Since Way had been manipulating Babe with his power for so long + frequently, a link exists between the two.... meaning, whatever Babe knows, so does Way. In order for the plan to work, Charlie had no choice but to keep Babe in the dark. Charlie actually really hates himself for putting Babe through this and for always making decisions on his behalf, so much so he genuinely believes that he doesn't deserve to be in Babe's life... ๐ฅบ The novel is a gem, highly recommend reading it as it helped me understand the plot and the characters a lot better ๐ค I truly wish the series had done a better job in conveying all this, but there's only so many eps ๐ฅฒ

I'm sorry, but Way was not protecting Babe nor did he carry out his actions with Babe's protection in mind. Way's intentions came from a place of selfishness, his supposed love for Babe was obsession and the only way (no pun intended) to do so in his moment of desperation was to take Babe in any way he could... through force. The fact that he kept Babe awake for his attempt was absolutely abhorrent, the fear + anguish + betrayal in Babe's eyes... ๐ญ Charlie on the other hand, he devised a plan to help someone he didn't even know at the time and for that, his intentions are selfless in my eyes. While Way was obsessed, Charlie was devoted. For Charlie, Babe's safety always ranked first no matter what that meant for his own well being. I know it's only a show, but the bl industry has condoned enough toxic behavior and that will only be perpetuated unless such behavior is called out. That's my take on it, hope you enjoy the finale ๐ค

Agreed, people will have different interpretations of characters and their actions. I don't think labeling actions as "unacceptable behavior" is unfair, some actions are universally unacceptable (ie. k*lling, r*ping) while lies are more on the morally ambiguous side (ie. ranging from white lies to straight-up lies). Again, external and internal factors are understandable, but not justifiable... I understand that Way has gone through a lot bc of Tony, but just because I understand where he may be coming from doesn't make his attempted r*pe comparable to Charlie's actions. Yes, I know it's your opinion and this one's mine... not heated, just tired of hearing excuses for Way ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ I absolutely adore Nut, completely and utterly dislike his character which only means Nut is truly delivering with his acting chops ๐
are you serious? I donโt know if we watched the same show bc you canโt really be comparing an attempted r*pe, by a trusted friend of 10 years nonetheless, to albeit lies of someone whose only mission is to protect someone they barely knewโฆ lying isnโt ideal, of course not, but you cannot even begin to compare the intentions behind the actions of way versus charlie. I get it, regardless of the intentions, the result hurts but at least charlie will face the consequences of what remains after he ensures the safety of his loverโฆ whether itโs death (bc that could have been the case, it was a risky plan), heartbreak (babe not finding out about the death, or if he did find out and not want Charlie in his life, etc). Both Way and Charlie were brought up by Tony but took different paths, yes trauma, manipulation, verbal and psychological abuse alters an individual. While these may be contributing factors that led to their decision-making, it does not for a minute justify what way almost committed. like the saying goes: โjust because your pain is understandable, doesn't mean your behavior is acceptable.โ
honestly... I don' know how my Fridays will look like without pitbabe ๐ฅบ I have been utterly enamored by the cast, the plot, the ost, & all the magic that encapsulates pitbabe โจ๐ซถ๐ฝ pitbabe was my motivation during the week, my sweet torture of holding out until Fridays ๐ I wish everyone involved in the production and execution of this series success & I look forward to future projects from every single one of them (especially my baby Pooh + stunner Pavel) ๐คญ๐
Exactly!! I would really have to dig deep to the depths of my soul for clarity as to what to do with my boyfriend…
yes, of course ๐ซถ๐ฝ oh, I know... I found that disappointing bc the first thing that charlie does is ask if babe is eating and taking care of himself in the novel ๐ฅบ I actually think Pooh's acting is perfect for this role, fits the character to a tee (if you get around to reading the novel, you might see Pooh in a different light) and as a rookie, he's doing so well ๐ I keep reading comments about Pooh's acting as coming off emotionless, but I genuinely don't see that; however, it might be the jarring differences in the acting delivered by Pavel in contrast to Pooh... side by side, one might feel that way ๐ญ in the case that Pooh's acting comes off as underwhelming at times might actually be how the character was intended to be, in the novel Jeff refers to charlie as a "robot" until he meets babe ๐ thanks for sharing your thoughts, I wish you a happy reading if you end up giving the novel a try! ๐
