The Rouge Hair is Back! I saw it on the airplane. Otherwise, I don't have too much to say about this episode. Every time something exciting happened, it died down really fast. That product placement though...Real mafia men take these vitamins!

I thought that would be it, but none of them seemed to have their hands wrapped. Maybe he cut off something under his clothes.

Dao acted insulted and said something about Nine not thinking they had a thriving company. Idk. Just another weird thing on a pile of weird things. I, too, thought Nine was going to dump the necklace in the water! If they didn't have sex, what the heck were they doing? I couldn't figure out why they kept getting up.

The "handsy" scenes were literally just them stripping off to their Calvin's and posing at different places at the front of the yacht! I couldn't figure out how they got from lying down kissing to standing in a weird position at the rail? WHAT were they DOING? They are doing all this out in the open but then act like virgin maidens when they're shirtless when Boat and Candy come back!

Makes sense she got with Boat, who doesn't have a personality either.

I mean, didn't they do it on the yacht? But he won't let Nine stay with him in his apartment?

Yeah, like, what kind of friends leave their totally sloshed friend there on the street?! I don't understand why Candy forced him to drink like that!
I think Nine recognized the inside of the bar from the pic...or maybe Candy put on there where they were. Anyway, Daonuea asked Candy to meet him. I think he wanted to pick her brain about Nine, but after his first drink he said he couldn't remember exactly.

You can't make this stuff up.
I am constantly floored by the crap they put in there.

I accidentally erased my comment, lol. Just wanted to let you know what happened to it.

Lol!

I think Nine paid for the clients because he wanted a reason for Tee to need him there. (Because he wanted to be around Daonuea.) Daonuea and Tee did have a conversation in a flashback from when they first got together where Dao asked if a relationship would ruin their work relationship, and they agreed it wouldn't. Obviously, Dao doesn't feel he can do it now, though.

My thoughts on that are that, with Nine's hair in that scene, it might have been a flashback from college. Something happened because they made such a big deal in ep 9 about Dao being Tee's "little brother" in college but nothing knowing about Nine, although Tee and Nine were friends there. OOOORRR it could just be following their normal routine of nothing being said with an actual purpose and the whole show being a load of crap. I will be mad if they kills someone off.

I like them both and I'm not blaming this sh*t-show on them. The production is so obviously bad. It's like they don't even look at what they film.

The comments are the best part! Lol, I nearly wrote a book this week.

Don't they show a kid in the opening? I usually ff, but last week I saw one at the end. Who has a kid?

It's like nobody ever rewatches the scenes after they film them! They are all probably first takes. Daonuea evidently put his necklace Tee gave him back on after the sex. (Was that even sex?) And Dao came into the office after saying he just signed his resignation, and then Ice prints another one off for him to sign.

Yes! What was that music?

I said the same thing in my post. I couldn't figure out if they had s*x or were just posing in their underwear. How did they get in that position by the railing???

This production company is so sloppy!!!!

If someone told me that a different writer, each equally bad at their craft, wrote each episode of this series, I'd believe it. Hell, if a different one wrote every SCENE, I'd find that believable. That's how disjointed if feels.
Recap:
Daonuea is awakened (in his own room at the resort) by Tee, who--although just dumped aka friend-zoned by Dao the night before in front of all of their friends--feels the need to set out his ex's toothbrush and toiletries for his day on a boat. Late to meet Nine and the others, Daonuea doesn't text them to let them know, but he hurries through a shower, etc, and rushes off, leaving Tee to get lost in his memories of first meeting Dao in college--something that appears to have some meaning behind it. Maybe. (Don't count on it. This could just be filler for these cinema-length episodes.)
Dao has made the odd choice of a cardigan and pants to wear on this boat trip. (Or are these the clothes Tee set out for him in an attempt to keep Dao from showing skin to Nine?) He still wears the necklace Tee gave him when they got back together (and Dao changed his social media relationship status but still wasn't boyfriend enough to have s*x with Tee, although they slept in the same bed many times.)
On the boat--which is really a yacht--Nine convinces Boat and Candy to go off swimming alone. On the other side of the yacht. (Yet Dao later wonders why they are taking so long, like they are off somewhere far way rather than a short walk. They can probably hear them laughing and splashing from where they are.) This is because Nine wants to be alone with Daonuea, either for sex or a photoshoot in their underwear to the accompaniment of threatening background music. It was hard to tell which. But we did get the prerequisite leg kiss. Oh, and Nine took the necklace off Dao's neck before getting handsy. (And Dao puts it on again after because we see it on him again, although we don't see it later when they leave the resort.)
During this time, Tee stays at the resort to work and lick his wounds. Ice calls him, asking something about a client who called. It sounded like Nine gave the client money, but Tee isn't sure why. After Ice gives this news, Tee hangs up on him without saying anything. I mean, literally, just *click* No bye, no nothing.
The following day, everyone is back at work, but things have changed for Daonuea because he has switched men. So, awkward. (Not for Dao, just for us and everyone else.) After being all cutesy with Daonuea while looking at product placement, Nine argues with Tee outside then tells Dao he has to leave. That night, Dao calls Nine and doesn't get an answer, but then Nine pops up at the door--and I swear I didn't remember the door having those windows, but I was probably in a boredom-induced coma--and brings dinner. As they eat, Dao tells Nine he is going to resign because it's weird working with Tee now. (But it didn't seem to be earlier that day?) Nine says to do what he feels he needs to do. (EVEN THOUGH Nine's whole reason for being there was because Daonuea worked there.)
Dao refuses to allow Nine to stay the night, even for the kind of sleepover he used to have with Tee, and Nine goes home with just a sniff-kiss to keep him warm.
Daonuea's cheaty-senses are tingling, so he asks Candy to meet him at a bar. (Candy appears to be the friend of whomever Nine dates). Candy insists that Dao drink, even though Dao doesn't want to. And not just drink, but drink and drink until sloshed without any food to soak it all up. Before they dance to no music and take selfies, Candy assures Daonuea that he can trust Nine because Nine is such a great guy, he stayed with Praew, even though he didn't love her, because he was afraid she'd hurt herself if he left her.
Completely smashed, the two leave. Candy has called her bf to pick her up. Surprise! It's Boat, and he's looking unusually cool, dressed kind of tough-biker. (Candy is in an outfit straight out of the '80's with cinched fabric and puffed sleeves and shoes with big bows at the ankles.) They leave Dao standing drunk on the sidewalk, but fortunately, Nine has seen all the selfies Candy posted on IG and figured out where they were. He's there to pick up Dao. He drives Dao home, and Dao wakes up in the car not remembering Nine had picked him up. Nine doesn't even walk him inside, although Dao is staggering and even has to lean on the car. He does, however, pause to wonder if Dao can make it on his own. (But he's not gonna check.)
Daonuea doesn't seem at all hungover when he wakes up the next morning, and when he recalls that Nine is the one who took him home, he is so embarrassed, he throws the covers over his head and squeals. (He had sex out in the open on a yacht but is embarrassed for Candy/Boat to see him shirtless and Nine to see him drunk.) Remember, Dao, this is your soulmate--the guy who caught you TWICE when you tripped at the amusement park. He picked up your sunglasses and your, er, toy--if that isn't destiny, I don't know what is.
Here and there we have conversations between Ice and Tee that may be meant to build a relationship between them, but there's really no chemistry there at all. Ice is mainly just someone for Tee to bounce his thoughts about Nine and the client off of. Tee confronts Nine for the second time, and this time Daonuea, who has come to sign his resignation twice (this may be a subtitle error), overhears. He tells off Nine about never being completely truthful about his life and goes home to sulk. Tee stops Nine from running after him and asks him if he really paid a client to work with them just so he could be around Daonuea. (Duh. Is he really just figuring this out? Is Dao really just figuring this out?) Nine goes to Dao's and stands outside the door, looking through the windows at Dao on the bed sulking, trying to get him to let him in, and apologizing, but just generically.
30 percent plot advancement, 70 percent filler crap.
