I agree, I still do not understand how the police weren't called with the shots scene if not by Teerak, by Joy or Type. The fact that no one confronted him about drugging them. I don't know if it's the culture or the writers (I'm going with the writers) but I'm still absolutely shocked.
Yes, very few people change overnight. That whole back story of Oh's was an excuse for him being a total dirt bag instead of taking responsibility to be a decent human.

Definitely agree with all your points, especially about Oh. I saw the same things on TikTok and thought are we all watching the same series? The continual violation of Teerak's consent especially the assault at the bar with the shots, was unbelievable. Oh is a spoiled, entitled a#$%ho%$. Look at the way he treats people a school "Do you know who I am?" So, yea, no sympathy here.

so cute 😍

I could watch this for another five episodes. It's one of the few BLs that doesn't traumatize me. 😂

It was casual, but I don't know how much of that was the translation. But you are correct it was very casual for a business transaction.

This show continues to be too cute.
Favorite part of the entire show, Lee diming out Fah to their parents. Every person with a sibling knows that feeling. 😂😂😂
Regarding Oh, I know many are seeing this as his redemption arc because he cared about Teerak getting hurt, but, this was a situation of his own making. I mean he orchestrated everything at the bar. He hasn't been concerned with Teerak one bit throughout the entire series so far. He has violated his consent, assaulted him, manipulated him, put him in uncomfortable situations, wouldn't take the extremely large hint that Fah & Teerak were together and tried repeatedly to destroy his relationship with Fah. I mean he stated flat out to Fah "If I can't have him, neither can you." Oh learned the meaning of FAFO, and this was the consequence. So no, I don't feel bad for Oh.

Throwing my hat in the comment ring, I think, once again, Style (and Fadel) stole the show.
Let me preface this next part by saying I truly love First and Khao but in this series I find them prosaic, even with the kink scenes, which I had thought with the trailer of the clothes pins would be a bit more but I suppose they can only go so far.
I've been skimming through First and Khao because with Dunk and Joong, these two aren't leaving anything for anyone.
I'm fully invested in Style and Fadel's relationship while I have zero interest in Bison and Kant's relationship.

During the first part of this episode I couldn't help having a smile on my face because they are just too cute, especially Jay/Junior. By the end of the episode I could only say "Well, that took a dark turn."
Let me echo Ishi's comment below "this series is so underrated."

I wrote a posting last night but I want to clarify a point or two regarding the scene in the locker room and adding commentary on the scene in the sauna and the perceived lack of consent.

The scene in the sauna with Style and Fadel. When Style began to put his hand down the front of Fadel's towel, he stopped five times during that scene and looked Fadel in the eyes. Fadel, who doesn't appear to be weak in any sense of the word, had ample opportunity to stop him. I'm pretty sure he could have overpowered Style. Now in the kink community we say if it isn't an "enthusiastic yes," then it is a "no." And this 100% correct. (Go ahead, ask me how I know this.) Except this isn't the kink community and we are discussing a work of fiction.

As far as the scene in the locker room I will reiterate what I initially said, Fadel was not the victim, Style was. Fadel's hand was around his throat and he was pushed against the locker repeatedly. Style got out of that situation by aggressively kissing Fadel. (He went on the offensive and gave back the same energy to his attacker.) Now, if your panties are in a bunch because Style didn't the handled the situation the way you would have, well, that's for you to sort out. Style had a right to defend himself however he saw fit in that moment. In fact he referenced the danger he knew he was in at the end of the scene by saying "Is this even worth dying for?"

I'm actually glad this conversation is being held around consent and I am going to say something further on the topic that may trigger some and it's for you to figure out if you are, in fact, triggered. Victim blaming is a huge part of our society. We see it every day and to some extent we are seeing it here. You may hate the character of Style or Dunk or whatever, but it doesn't mean he has to roll over and accept being choked. If that scene made you uncomfortable, then please, find a therapist to help you unpack why. And I am not saying this in a disrespectful way at all.

Wow, what to address first. After the first episode I had hoped Style would get crazier and he did. I am not one bit upset with Dunk's performance of Style, for me personally, I think the character is running away with this series. Just my two cents. (Don't get your panties in a bunch if you don't agree with me.)

This is how I read the scene in the locker room, just my perspective and remember if you don't agree don't get your panties bunched up.

If you go back a few frames, before the kissing scene, that has the battle lines drawn in this comment section, you will see Fadel grab Style by the throat and push him against the locker, a few times. During those times it almost looks as though his hand tightens around his neck. I'm pretty sure that was non-consensual, like it wasn't part of a kink scene or anything, so I'm going with Style being attacked/threatened. In a case like this, a person has the right to defend themselves, however they choose. Now whether that was going through Style's mind is for the mind-readers to interpret but Style coming out and kissing him the way he did definitely threw Fadel, who was the attacker in this scene, off guard.

yep, we're all here 😂😂😂

😂😂😂 To answer your question as to why you are watching this, we don't really know cause most of us are in the boat but we continue to watch it 😂😂😂

I'm glad I'm not the only one who appreciates Fei Long/Nick's beauty.
As far as the fight scene while Fei Long was rescuing Run, I had a hard time with it. I understand why it was in there but if he is Mafia, he wouldn't have shown up without a weapon and he would have shot Teeranai then.
Anyone else think Elyes let Teeranai go knowing Fei Long would kill him? Just me?
I, too, was like "wtf" when I saw the preview for ep. 12, Kim, again? Geez. And I echo the sentiment, I hope they don't rush this last episode.
I like James and Kad and would love to see them in something directed well. Not to mention seeing Nick in another series.

What other accolades can we heap upon this series? Holy crap this was absolutely fantastic! Mick and Top *chef's kiss* They were beyond fabulous. I'm so sorry this wasn't a longer series for purely selfish reasons. Damn, this was so good.
1000/10 - I will accept no arguments on my rating.
I'm sure I will come back later and gush about this series further as I watch the last episode for the fourth time.
I gave them a standing ovation when the show ended. They were that good.

ah cool, I'm glad it works in the comment section. I generally do not like to block anyone either but sometimes it's a must. :)

I'm just going to leave this here...
Blocking hides a user's activity across kisskh.

I feel you here, I couldn't be bothered watching this series cause I knew I was going to hate it but I just binged the first three episodes and damn if I wasn't absolutely wrong, this is too cute! I absolutely love Junior, Sun, Jeng and Jodd and I'm already looking forward to the next episode.

I think I can help a little with the reason for Ter shipping Johan and North, maybe, and it could be a stretch. (I'll own that)
When Johan went to check on Ter and ended up face to face with North, he took Ter back to be with Hill. Hill asked Johan if he saw him. I think after that brief exchange between Hill and Johan about the later seeing North, Ter caught on. He wanted to ask Johan about it but Johan told him to focus on Hill.
(Sometimes we are more in tune with what is happening with others and oblivious to what's happening with ourselves.- This is for anyone saying Ter can't even figure out Hill liked him all this time.)
Then again, I could be wrong but this is how I am explaining it to myself.

Just asking for clarification, what is the kind of "twink" "gays" like? I'm assuming by this comment you are, in fact, gay and can answer this for me.
I am a grown woman but alas I am not straight yet I think he is very attractive.

As a member of the "queer crowd" I think he is extremely attractive and I'm not into men. I'm also well past and I mean well past the young school girl age but I'm not dead, he is attractive, maybe just not to you.
I am, however, very interested in what makes someone an "ideal" bottom. Perhaps you, as a straight person, I'm assuming by your comment you are straight, could explain this to me.
