I think the reason they made such a point of that scene between Tai and Nara before she took the food to him was to show that Tai thought she was a pretty, sweet, caring girl, so that it hit him that maybe Pat should be with her. She came all the way out the to get back with him. (I'm not on her side, I'm just trying to figure out why they put that weird scene in.)

I wasn't so sure why Tian was beating himself up for not immediately thinking of his parents' trip to the mountain. I mean,.How much time did they waste looking for Tai before that? And Tian didn't even know that Pat was upset. So, while I thought his breakdown was a great scene, it didn't make a whole lot of sense. And there were no tears.

Must have something to do with Tai being the one who saved him a long time ago. I don't know why Lomfon can hear Patt, though.

Too much info left out and too much other crap left in, such as Nara's long crying jag and a lot of staring.

Me, too. A lot was left to our imagination, unfortunately. They could have taken out half of Nara's crying scene and used that time.

I prefer to call his expression Intense...

I think that's what they talked about while Patt carried Tai down the hill.

After rewatching, I don't think they were very far away. Tien got upset when Patt told him about where he thought Tai went, and he ran off with Lomfon running after him. I think they just got several yards away where he had his breakdown (without tears. That bugged me.) I think this is why he yelled out for help---because they weren't so far away that the group couldn't hear.

Btw, I only came to this conclusion after watching it the second time. The first time, I thought Tain and Lomfon were on the mountain, too.

Yeah, I was wondering, but then Patt asked the lady if he could borrow the truck and they drove over there.

That's right, Patt didn't move at all. He just stood there, and I think he was making a point because after that he tells her he doesn't have feelings for her anymore.
When Tai said that he wasn't mad, I felt it was a continuation of a conversation they must have had coming down the mountain. I'm sure they weren't just silent (unless it was because Patt was straining so hard, lol).
I don't think Pat slept at all, but how he sat like that with Tai resting against him for at least a couple of hours, I have no idea.

That first part you said explains why all these BL actors are wearing long sleeves most of the time in their Instagram pictures. Thanks for that info.
I thought it was weird they were sitting in the street. If they knew that it was going to take hours, why didn't they lie down? And why did it take hours when Pat seemed to have WALKED it within hours?

That's a good point! Maybe she wanted him to miss her.

I thought that, too, then realized that they had to drive there.

Yes, and also that LOOOOONG crying scene from Nara. Pu-lease.

Not really defending because I feel A LOT was left out of this episode, all of which I've ranted about all over this discussion board already, lol--bitI just told myself that Pat and Tai discussed it on their way down the mountain while Pat was carrying him. Because by the time they reached the foothills, it seemed to be a continuation of a conversation about it. I think Tai's friends, esp. the girl, were trying to give Pat a moment to make it clear to Nara that he didn't want her because he didn't do that last time. He left her hanging.
I suppose there wasn't consent for that kiss from Nara, but Pat could have pushed her away a lot faster than he did. At least he just stood there like a stone while she kissed him. As for the length, I think a BL minute is slowed way down--everyone stares at each other, etc, for endless seconds. Case in point--Nara's crying jag after she walked away.
And, yes, I agree Tai looked like he was getting heatstroke (How about tying that sweater around your waist?) and I feel like, after he "talked" to Pat, he must have passed out for a long time and, I guess, recovered. I also wondered about the friends taking so long. There were a lot of holes in this episode. Oh--one other thing that bugged me was that in Tien's hysterical scene, which was well-acted otherwise, he never shed an actual tear!

Lol, I've been spoiled by the hot kisses that have come out lately in several series. In Ep 8 they showed Tai remembering the one he overheard during a sudden rainstorm when, I guess, Patt kissed Nara after they were broken up. That's why it's fresh in my mind.

That distance things bugs me, too. At first I wondered about Lomfon and Tien, but I don't think they ever went very far from the camp, just to where Tien initially ran when he was upset. Then it started raining. But somehow, while they were talking, Patt made it partway there, evidently walking the route he thought Tai took. When he heard Tai speak to him, he must have had quite a way to go still. So maybe Tai passed out after that for a long period of time--the rest of the day almost, and Patt got there during that time and held him, then, when Tai awoke, carried him to "the foothills," as he said in the call--at which point it was dark. The only thing I don't get is why it took so long for the people to pick him up in the truck. One sentence such as, "Sorry it took so long, but the truck wouldn't start" could have solved it.
The other thing I had to kind of explain away in my head is that Tai fell down that big hill and was bad off enough to call to Patt that he was hurt. But, once he passed out and woke back up, he was fine except for his ankle. (Maybe he just needed a rest?) And then they sat at the edge of the road and Tai slept. And there must have been another way out of there than that hill Tai fell down. I can't see Patt carrying him up it on his back, even though he was strong enough to sit up straight like that all night while Tai slept. (Maybe by that time there were only a couple hours of darkness left?)
Anyway, the other thing I noticed is that I'm pretty sure Patt French-kissed Nara in the flashback from before (not this last kiss) but I haven't seen him French kiss Tai. Just an observation.

But wouldn't that mean that Tai would be able to, at least sometimes, hear his parents when it rains? Or maybe that's wiped out once it fully develops.
