It looks like there was a sex scene after the kiss scene that they cut out for some reason. Gosh, you'd think they could have left out all that review in the beginning and kept that scene in.

Episode 12 recap--Final ep.
I was a little bored at the beginning and fastforwarded a lot, but I think the gist was that, back in college, Tee allowed Daonuea to believe he was Dao's secret buddy rather than Nine, when really Nine and Daonuea had been exchanging fun gifts all along. Nine's mother died and Tee wound up giving Daonuea the necklace that was supposed to be from Nine. (Or something to that effect.)
Nine realizes this when he sees the necklace on Daonuea's bed . When Tee starts to chew him out for hurting Daonuea, Nine let's Tee know he has also done Nine dirty. Then he leaves and just happens to drive to the resort he and Daonuea stayed at together.
The lady with the extremely lumpy baby bump lets NIne know that Dao is there, so Nine waits for Dao at his cabin. Daonuea is drunk, but when he realizes it's really Nine and not a drunken mirage, he gets mad and passes out in front of the door.
He wakes up the following morning--this guy never gets a hangover--and soon realizes Nine is indeed staying in the cabin next door. Nine spends the day trying to get Daonuea to change his mind about not taking him back. Nine says, "You're finally talking to me," even though Dao has been the one doing most of the talking since Nine arrived--repeatedly telling Nine it's over between them. In a moment of annoyance, Daonuea steps in front of Nine's bike, knocking him off . Nine milks his mild injury for all it's worth.
Meanwhile, Candy somehow finds out where Daonuea is, and--always up to take a vacay--Tee, Boat, Candy, and Ice go to the resort. Boat feeds Nine soup, which Nine makes him blow on first.
Eventually, feeling guilty, Tee tells Daonuea the truth about the secret buddy thing, and Daonuea forgives Nine. (I think Daonuea feels that he and Nine are meant to be together because the secret buddy thing really doesn't have anything to do with the fact that Nine had lied yet again.) Determined to spill it all now, Nine tells Daonuea that he was also the guy who caught him at the amusement park years ago and picked up his glasses for him. Dao thanks him.
Daonuea and Nine spend the night together.
Meanwhile, Tee, Ice, Boat, and Candy party at a bonfire. Boat tries to get a reluctant Ice to drink (because that's what he and Candy do with their friends--ply them with alcohol), but Tee tells him to stop and Candy gets Ice a soda while Ice plays the guitar and sings (He has a nice voice).
After Boat and Candy leave, Ice tells Tee he is going abroad. AND TEE GUILT-TRIPS HIM ABOUT IT! Even after Ice tells Tee it's his DREAM, Tee says he can't believe Ice is leaving him like everyone else has. Then he kisses him. The kiss and the music that plays during this scene are pretty nice. We don't know whether they spend the night together or not, but I imagine they do as the original trailer showed them getting down and dirty after kissing. This much anticipated scene was evidently removed to make more room for product placement.
The next morning, Daonuea stumbles out of his cabin to find everyone all nicely dressed, waiting for him and filming with their phones. Even the pregnant lady who runs the place and her husband, who is making a better video, I think. Daonuea is wearing a t-shirt and sweatpants and probably hasn't even brushed his teeth, so I'm sure he appreciates this surprise.
Nine gets down on one knee and asks Dao to wear his ring again. (Daonuea had left it on the bed at home--we got an extra scene of him sitting on his bed crying at the beginning.) But, this time, after Nine slips the ring on Daonuea's finger, he says they're engaged.
Tee tries to hold Ice's hand, but Ice pulls away, softening the rejection with a joke about marriage. Then the pregnant woman goes into labor. (My cc translation said her "amniotic sac" broke and she was about to "calve.")
Praew, who is at work reading her script, sees the video posted on social media and is happy for Nine.
Back at Daonuea's, in his bed, Nine and Daonuea chuckle over the video and say they can't believe the lady "calved" there in front of about a hundred people, and then Dao gets a message that he got whatever job it was that he'd applied for.
At the office, Tee sees that Ice has left him a note and...some gum. Not even a full pack. It's basically a Dear John letter saying Ice has snuck away to his overseas "camp," and he's sure Tee will find love someday.
The possibility of this love comes to Tee seconds later when he gets a call from Oab, but Tee has fixated on Ice. (Honestly, I think he doesn't like the Oab/Tee thing and would rather be Tee/Ice or Tee/someone else, if you know what I mean.) Tee tells Nine to take care of the company because he's going to Singapore. Byyyee! (I assume that's where Ice is. I got stalker vibes, like he's forcing himself on Ice, rather than aawww, he's going after his love vibes.) Nine stretches out in Tee's chair. So, now I guess it's just Nine and Boat running the place. Good luck with that.
1 month later.
Nine and Daonuea are living at Nine's and Danuea is cooking him food wearing an apron much like Praew did earlier in the series. It might even be the same apron. The dessert that he made doesn't taste good, according to Nine. Daonuea pouts. They kiss, laugh, and have another underwear commercial. A few words about that--it starts off kind of frolicking--like, oh, we're having so much fun. Lots off smiles while they take off each other's clothes in the kitchen and living room. Lot's of l chest kissing, but it's weird, in my opinion, because they are smiling so much. At least Nine doesn't show off Daonuea's foot this time. Then the music turns sexier and they get serious, but, just like on the boat, they're all over the place. On the couch, on the floor, by the window. Just weird.
2 Years later.
All the underwear commercials have paid off because Nine and Daonuea now have a baby girl. This baby doesn't seem to like either of her dads very much--she's screaming her head off. (Was this the only infant the staff could get their hands on for this scene? Maybe the director's baby, crying because she was born into such a talentless family?) But Daonuea and Nine laugh and try to cheer her up by making faces, etc.
THE END.
(No explanation was ever offered of what exactly happened when Daonuea's mom left him in the park and he was approached by a creepy man. We know his aunt raised him, but...WHAT ABOUT THE CREEP?)
We're free from this mess of a series!
I want to say that there were some cute moments in it, but the director needs to be fired. I liked Best and Chahub and Tee and Ice but felt that they deserved a better script. Candy and Boat and Praew made me want to throw things.
Best part: Every time Nine said, "Daonuea." I loved the way it sounded--very deep and sexy. That's it for my kudos on this train wreck.
I hear the special episode is going to be Tee/Ice. Not sure how I feel about it, but it's better than more Nine/Daonuea.

My daughter and I watched together and felt the same way---how humiliating to stand in front of everyone and be rejected.

Lol, I agree. This week I really felt like I'd missed something. Why were they bodyguards having a threesome in the shower? Where in the heck did that even come from? And they obviously learned how to kiss from their boss.

I think I'd go nuts if I didn't have this comment section to rant in.

Seriously, you're watching these three guys in the shower, and they are holding their mouths shut tight like they're afraid their tongues or the inside of their lips will accidentally touch. So not sexy.

Lmao! Unreal. I just couldn't get over the bodyguards, though. Like, where the hell did that even come from? Had they been flirting before this?

I guess it's sort of...campy? Something about it is appealing, but every so often I get really annoyed because they could have done so much better with a little more effort.

Yeah, like broad daylight.

Good grief, where do I start?
They're drinking wine before breakfast? A LOT of wine?
The bodyguards have a THREESOME out of nowhere, complete with granny kisses?
Kamol and Kim are pecking each other on the lips while have sex using chains in the shower? When Kamol asked Kim what he wanted him to do, I was hoping Kim would say, "Kiss me with tongue!" That would be racy for them.
There are plants or flowers growing on Danai's ceiling?
The sunrise looks like noon?
Everyone sits around and has dinner with all the doors wide open even after they were attacked?
They make a cup of dinner for eight people?
Baiboon falls down and hurts his knee AGAIN?
So much face oil and vitamins!
And I know some people love the ex-boyfriend, but no. I don't find him attractive at all.
And has anyone in the world ever packed as carefully as Kim? (And if he says "Is this the time/place for this" one more time...

I hope this isn't the only season they'll put out. And that they'll make improvements. God, the phone calls were killing me. Less of that, please. And more time...not just 8 days.

They definitely needed so much more time. I feel the new guys were delayed because they were to stir things up, but it really wasn't fair to them. At this point, I don't know what's going to happen.

Yes, you're right. I just re-watched. I hadn't realized that. And Lee Hyeon was really pouring it on, putting his head on Changmin's shoulder on the bus. My daughter and I were saying we would be so pissed if we were Jeong-hyun.

I've liked him the best since day one. I can't believe he hasn't had anyone interest in him.

I wasn't sure why certain guys got to choose their roommate on the camping trip and Lee Hyeon was one of them. I didn't think anyone chosen could say no.

Hyeon chose him.

Everybody giving Chang-min hate but he did it (chose someone else to share a room) for Jeon-hyun.

Right, the whole scene was so over the top corny.

Why in the heck couldn't they have told us then that they were fwb?

Thinking about trying this one.
