This has a rating of 8.1. Love Tractor a 7.8. Let that sink in for a minute.

OH! And to every male on this comment section, I hope you 🫵 and your 🫵male friends got home early today! so women can walk back home more safely! 🤨

I started watching the movie looking for similarities and differences with the series but by the end I was so glad I stopped caring about the comparisons. I don’t think either version is perfect or “better” over the other, they’re truly meant to be enjoyed back to back and compensate each other on some aspects! Like the show left me wanting more of their friendship and the movie left me wanting the rest of the story, so in the end I got cumulatively what I wanted, except maybe more movies that adapt what’s left of Go Young’s journey. I’m blindly hopeful on that ‘cause Steve Noh and Go Eun embodied the characters so well yet still managed to portray their own version of them and I LOVED what they did here, so please someone let them have the big breakthrough in the industry that they deserve.

To anyone thinking of going into this hoping to see the same script they got in the first two episodes of the show, do yourselves a favor and try to keep an open mind! For the two to be the same product would be redundant and kinda pointless. And to anyone who’s maybe wondering whether they need to watch the movie or the series first, I’d highly recommend starting with the movie so then you can have the rest of the story in the show to look forward to.

Give this man more flowers and more roles!

I can’t get over how good Yoon Do Jin did as Ye Chan… and you’re telling me it’s his first acting gig? 🥹The way he navigates comedic instances and dramatic emotional depths can’t be taught, that right there is TALENT… and it’s his only work so far? Brooo, get out of here and get this man A JOB!!!!!😭I’m so looking forward to whatever he does next. End of rant, sorry that I got higher serotonin levels watching this than cat videos on TikTok.

But seriously, how does this not get more hype and higher ratings? It’s such a cute little gem. Smart script, beautifully shot, well acted. Give it a chance bro!!!

bro!!!! get this bro some work, bro!!!!

Yup, that’d be an interesting conversation to have, especially considering how I’m sure that being in the medical field kinda gives you somewhat of a god complex. Personally I can’t see this going full Doc murderer either, so there’s probably two different people administrating euthanasia: Doc will be justified with having consent from the patients while the real murderer’s just doing it without even asking. I mean, there’s nothing wrong morally if Kan’s asking for their permission, but legally? That’s where I think Wasan will get heated up pretty quickly. “I won’t get in the way of your job but don’t you get in the way of mine” or whatever he said to Kan in the last episode basically

I completely get your POV and it’s probably the same point the show’s trying to get across. When I call it a not-so-simple moral dilemma, I just mean that socially this is still quite the sensitive matter not only in Thailand but pretty much all around the globe. There are no easy answers and different people will have different outlooks on what’s right or wrong. I’m all for making your own decisions in regards to your own life (including relatives and pets, since you know them best and truly have their well-being at heart) but I can see how somebody else might see this differently, cases in which either someone doesn’t want to make that choice for someone else when they can’t actively make it (that’s a big responsibility) or cases like the one portrayed in the show of some medical staff making that decision without the patient’s or relatives’ consent. People should be given the option (the same way Kan did with that elder in the third episode) but also be free to decide if they want it for the themselves/their loved ones or not. Basically there need to be regulations that take into account the different perspectives people may have of the issue is my personal take here!

I wouldn’t worry about not having loved Manner of Death, I didn’t either and so far this is ten times better!

WHO IS THAT DIVA (you 🫵) keep these comments coming ‘cause we’re livinGGG!

Given how they started the episode with him, I’d have to agree! Didn’t expect for them to introduce what it looks like a vital character on the third episode and especially such an intriguing one. I also agree on how good the scripts are so far, we can kinda see the budget’s not that big but they’re putting every coin exactly where they need to be.

yeahhh but i’m not really sure if pulling a Hannibal is something they’d do since, well, it wouldn’t land so great with the general public. that would take some real guts and make the romance part infinitely more tricky to handle than it already is. still, i have hope!

supporting his boo 😭 that killed me honestly but in all seriousness, i’m really liking the whole theme around euthanasia and i’m really hoping they land it home ‘cause it’s not that simple of a moral dilemma. i have high hopes nonetheless!

Yeah, like… bro… you killed my mother! If that happens I’m losing my shit I’m telling you right now

Falling in love with the person that potentially killed your mother… that’s the level of fucked up we’re living for 😭

anyway guys the true crime here is THAT RATING like WHY IS IT SO LOW

Anyway, a few thoughts after episode 3:

- probably among the strongest acting I’ve seen in Thai BLs so far? Haven’t seen ‘em all but I’m kinda shocked at how good everyone is, even the secondary characters. Nurse is killing it! That “happy birthday” scene was the sweetest thing I’ve seen all day, and I do watch a lot of cats on TikTok
- I can see that production may not have had the biggest of budgets out there (compared to other stuff like 4 Minutes which was visually stunning) but they were so smart about it: the casting’s excellent, the editing’s killing it, the sets are good enough for what the story needs, and…
- the writing: from what I gather it’s based on some other source material, so that’s a great help, but whoever’s writing them scripts know what they’re doing. the pacing’s really top notch, the scenes don’t drag on anything unnecessary and it’s hit after hit after hit. it’s some truly compelling storytelling because we kinda know where it’s going but at the same time we really don’t. I usually don’t like it when murder mysteries play too much with their viewers in terms of “deceiving” you into suspecting who the killer is, but I feel like they’re managing to keep the plot really interesting, and even if the big reveal were to be obvious, I feel like they’re doing a good job in terms of everything else to make the viewing experience rewarding. Plot-wise I really have nothing to say thus far, it’s great stuff
- IF I HAD TO COMPLAIN, I do feel like with only 8 episodes (right?) and so much story to tell, they kinda had to compromise a bit when it comes to the romance. I really wish it wasn’t this insta-lovey. I mean, it isn’t if we compare it to most of the standards in the BL world, but still I’d have preferred it if they had brought it down a notch in a few instances. Let them spend a bit more time together for that kind of tension to develop naturally. In the first two episodes it felt a bit forced at times BUT I get that they needed those scenes to prepare the ground for the kind of emotional space they needed for some of the scenes in this last episode, like when Wasan talks about his mother with Kan and the whole phone exchange at the end. I get that and I get that to some extent they’re both “faking” it (Wasan to cover his suspicions and Kan to cover his ass) so it’s a compromise… but then was that “let me fasten your seatbelt for you” scene really necessary in that context? 😭and the music too? 😭it’s these little things that throw me off a bit
- but all in all: DOCTOR PLEASE INJECT ME SOME ANESTHESIA CAUSE I CAN’T WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK!

Episode 3 was a blast and I hope it gets even better. I’m so lucky to be watching this right at the time Miseinen is also airing in Japan ‘cause they have the potential of making my top 3 BLs of the year, the other one being Love In The Big City.

Also, WHY didn’t I realize sooner that this is also made by the same people behind Manner of Death and Triage? No wonder it felt so familiar! Mind you, I still haven’t watched Triage but of course this felt so familiar… yet better! They really stepped up their game with this one ‘cause MoD pales in comparison in every department.

But WHY does that toilet seat have butterflies on it? 😭
