Personally I feel like Tine's character did a 180. Not feminine per se, just more docile? (I don't think he's relying on Wat to deal with Mil, so no, he's not feminine in that way that he needs the "man" in the relationship to save him, it just looks like he has no backbone, in general) In the beginning, sure he isn't someone to act like Boss or Man but he had enough balls to stalk Sarawat. Perhaps Mil being an upperclassman has something to do with how he acts, but does it really oppress him to the point of not speaking up for himself? Idk. I feel like even if the tradition is to respect elders, there's a limit to how much that tradition can be stretched, especially with the fact that they're all adults who can make their own decisions.

Yep. For one, I thought Tine and Sarawat would hug when they found each other in the dark. Like come on, that's the PERFECT scenario. Tine was lost and frustruated, Wat was worried, they meet and BOOM hug (if not from Tine, at least from Wat since getting lost at night in the cold and rain can lead to DEATH. Seriously, how Wat didn't want to fling himself at Tine the moment they met, is a huge MISTAKE) Two, they could have held hands in the bus on the way to the camp. Hello, secretive, no one will see so why not? Three, maybe a small kiss in the bus at the end? Perfect moment. They both just confessed they like each other mutually. It's clear as day now. Where is the kiss? Or a hug, tbh. Either one. Maybe a hug, a tight one, one that shows "I'm relieved I got to tell you my deep feelings,"

Am I expecting too much or is this series not offering enough? I don't know anymore. All the things I've mentioned are basic adequate for a relationship. But where art thou in this episode.

I thought this episode was okay. I really liked the montage of Boss and Man basically getting Sarawat and Tine together. It's great to see that the Sarawat I thought was mean and cold to Tine in the beginning was the product of Boss and Man's involvement. The "bad things keep happening" thing they had going on, yeah, I didn't really care. I wish Sarawat had found courage and showed Tine the video willingly, not have to have this "bad things keep happening because I prayed to" going on to make him show Tine.

Mil needs to stop being a side-chick messing up people's relationship.

Also, THE BRACELET. DID THEY FIND IT? WILL THEY FIND IT? WE HAD IT FOR ONE EPISODE AND IT'S ALREADY LOST.

Where was this confirmed? Sauce please, liked to read about it too. Can be in Thai or English.

No. Bright used to go to Thammasat Uni. but now he's studying somewhere else.

I seriously need Win Metawin Opas-iamkajorn in another project. Seriously.

Win's smile is honestly so mesmerizing

As someone who enjoys this series but can still acknowledge the flaws, I disagree with your opinion that this series is "objectively" great. What you're doing is gaslighting people into believing their opinions are invalid. By saying their observational skills are poor or that they're lying due to faulty perspective. Not a great way to get your opinion across, if you ask me.

I think before we become concerned about that, we should ask ourselves, did GMMTV really build up 10 episodes of chasing to make them finally become boyfriends, only to make it as Wat imagining it all? Does that make any sense to you? Frankly it makes ZERO sense to me. That SAD story sounds like fanfiction.

I think we talked about this before in one of your comments but let me clear up the misconception again. The rating never dropped. It has always been PG-13 since EP1. It was MDL and whoever was creating this series's profile, that incorrectly put the wrong PG.

"but they were cut down and the rating changed suddenly from 15 to 13"
I'm not sure what you mean by this but my understanding is, you believe because the scenes from EP10 was cut down, that was why the ratings changed from PG-15 to PG-13? If that is what you mean then as stated previously, this series has always been PG-13, no scene cutting or anything from the recent episodes affected the change. It was simply corrected from the wrong rating (15) to the right rating (13).

I don't know anything about the raikantopaini and its connection to PG ratings (I'm not familiar with Thai programs) but all I know is it is a disclaimer (trans: raikantopaini = "The following program"), which can be said for PG-13 and/or PG-18. It doesn't have an attachment to ONE PG. So no, people hearing raikantopaini wouldn't automatically know which rating, you'd have to understand the Thai words to know which age group the series is targeted. People's misunderstanding is partially due to MDL incorrectly profiling this series as PG-15.
Edit: Unless you meant to listen to the gender of the announcer since you mentioned specifically the gender of the announcer. The one in Tharntype was a guy. Since I don't watch enough of BL series intros to notice, I don't know if the gender of the announcer indicates the ratings. Maybe it does? I wouldn't know, the only 18+ BL I've seen is Tharntype. But with that being said, raikantopaini in general is just "the following program" so using that to indicate the ratings won't be of any use.

I agree. The acting, the execution, the story. All of it I think is average. But being able to enjoy the series despite knowing all its flaws is the charm of this series. Like no matter how much I think this series is average, I keep coming back to watch it because it's so easy to watch and feel good with.

Currently learning Mandarin? As in actually learning from A to Z or just the common basic words like "Ni hao, Wo jiao Bright. Wo ai ni."? Lol

Yep no problem!

I totally agree. The montage was so cute and pleasing, it drew a different kind of reaction from me compared to my reaction to a kiss scene. Like both are good but I’m more drawn to the things they did in the montage. I wish it was extended. Like that was the romantic things I wanted to see but here we are, watching it crammed in a montage lol

I agree, especially their little montage. When Tine was reaching for the food and Sarawat was blocking him with his whole body. It was totally BrightWin. I would like to see them more in another series as well, BL or not. I especially have high hopes for Win.

I already submitted an edit to change the content rating to 13+ but I think it takes 12-24 hours for the moderators/administrators to look at it. But hopefully, by tomorrow, the ratings would have changed.

No problem!

Okay, so I think many people went into this series thinking it's rated 15+, which are teenagers to adults, so yeah, you'd expect some more intimate things here and there. But this series is actually rated 13+, which I think changes a lot about how a series represents themselves to the public. (15 years old to 18 years old, is only 3 years, but 13 years old to 18 years old, is 5 years, so yeah, that should affect the series quite a bit). MDL made a mistake when creating the profile. I don't know if knowing this info will change people's opinions but I think before anyone criticizes the lack of intimate scenes, please take the rating into consideration.

I think there was a mistake when creating a profile for this series. This series is actually rated 13+
