Vacationing in Chengdu

Yi Fei gets to see the same graphs from Qian Fei’s report. Ms Fang changed it up by wanting his company to sign a contract of responsibility. This would leave his firm holding the bag for anything inappropriately handled in accounting. She is hoping to out fraudulent party, win the account and have Yi Fei’s company out entirely by being the investigate party. I wonder how far the history goes with Fang and YiFei. They both are well aware of each other’s tactics and dislike each other. Qian Fei was told she didn’t measure up to be on her team and could get a bonus for providing data. Qian Fei didn’t except payment and plans to head to Chengdu to find more data. I thought YiFei was faking it to get out of meeting early. I guess he wasn’t.🤣 His assistant deserves a raise.🤣 He also heads to Chengdu. Records at the company didn’t go anywhere as all parties concerned resigned. They found one employee but he was not interested in getting involved. They did help with the boys a bit and softened the dad up to them, but they are returning with nothing new to add. YiFei is telling ghost stories as they drive along and the episode ends. I wonder if Ms Fang has OCD where she has to wash her hands a certain number of times and germaphobic. She seems fickle about her treatment of people and I really don’t want her as Qian Fei’s boss. She is more like a what have you done for me today type of boss and she has too good a work ethic to settle for that. Plus she would still have mean girl and uncle to deal with. I like that he left business class to give her study notes. Waiting for her to choose to work with him. He will have to start a workout regimen to offset her cooking skills.😂🤣 Gamer friend is claiming he has a gf now. His parents are all kinds of nosy. 🤣😂 This cast interacts well to show office and family/friends dynamics. All the characters are believable with no weak links.

A promise of mercy and the thrill of missions

That conversation between Haixia and Haiqi was so sad. To spare her from the pain of killing him, he asked her to let him do that himself once the time comes. 🥺💔 They really have a special bond. Way deeper than the one she has with Hailou, I think.And they still haven't revealed anything about Haixia's condition to Hailou. He has his own observations, which, I might add, were very hard not to notice, but I know his heart will break when he learns what fate awaits Haixia. 😢😭The mission was, as always, delightful. Hailou made a little chaos, Haixia saved him by marvellously entering the scene on horseback, and later they both came up with a plan to lure the target... at least this time, for the most part, it was somewhat calculated rather than full improvisation. 😌 Loved to see the boys working together and in action again! 🤭🔥

The End: LOVE BEYOND DREAMS

You know you’ve watched too much Thai GL when your brain auto-corrects every new pairing into past-life lore. So here goes: P’Le and Nu Rann are Khun Sam and Mon re-booted and revitalized, version 2026 — the ice-queen-with-a-heart under a brand-new upgrade, with gunplay instead of contract-signing. Also, can we just pause and say “You did well, Donut’s uncle” (iykyk). And if someone told me Love Beyond Dreams is what happens when Shadow of Love and Reverse 4 You collide in an alternate universe fever dream, I’d believe them — the vibes are suspiciously specific and I’m not complaining.Now, onto the beautifully unhinged finale review, because this show served a genre cocktail so strong it should come with a warning label.1. The genre equation nobody asked for but everyone needed -- Time travel × crime thriller × love story × family drama = a whodunnit that appeals to all demographics. Gen Z’s invested in the time paradox, Gen X is screaming at the action, and your emotionally repressed self is weeping into a pillow over the office proposal. It’s a family pack of chaos, and somehow it works.2. Princess Charming with a pistol — and a questionable tear budget --Mie Phattaranan as P’Le? Adorably sexy. Gun-slinging, hard-punching, flying-kicking, Princess Charming on a mission to rescue her Lady Love from Evil King-Dad. I’m swooning! But. The Asian family-oriented audience (read: all of us, deep down) couldn’t help but notice she cried a literal river over Peem’s untimely demise, yet when her biological father bites the dust — not a single tear. Not one glisten. I know he was the villain buffet, but baby girl, the filial piety auditors are taking notes.3. Dimples with more substance than a main character --Those dimples of “Donut’s Sweet Uncle” (shoutout to Play Park and those cutely ubiquitous dimples) walked in and somehow had a more substantive character arc than Peem himself. The dimples emoted. They had depth, regret, probably a secret backstory involving a lost GL pair. Meanwhile, Peem’s role was… just there. Sweet, but like a decorative cushion. We notice. We appreciate the dimples’ contribution to the narrative economy.4. The Office is the third lead, and HR is weeping.This workplace saw more action than a telenovela hospital. P’Le didn’t just handle business there — she conducted a full-scale romance, initiated PDA that would make the cleaning staff blush, and then proposed on the very same floor. Father and daughter truly said, “Work-life balance? No, work-life blend.” They were workaholics to the bone(r), and I’m just picturing the company newsletter: “Congratulations to our CEO on her engagement — the merger is both corporate and emotional.” 5. Episode 7 said, “Let’s speedrun the entire emotional spectrum.”Why gently spread flashbacks, hard action, and romance across episodes 7 and 8, when you can forcibly stuff everything into a single finale like an overfilled suitcase? Kill the bad guy! Kill the good guy (RIP my dimples heart)! Get it on in the office! Propose! Marry! Live happily ever after! All in episode 7. My brain barely had time to blink, let alone process grief, horniness, and wedding bells in one sitting. I wanted an Ep 8 purely dedicated to soft morning-after fluff, but no — we got the greatest hits compilation on fast-forward. Still, the audacity is almost admirable. All in all?Love Beyond Dreams is a solid 9/10 for sheer effort, storytelling guts, and the kind of passionate chaos only Thai GL can deliver. And that score is also for Mie 🥰😍😘😁🥳🇹🇭❤️ — because honestly, the woman body-slams bad guys, cries prettier than a rain-soaked romance novel, and looks flawless in office-wear while proposing. Icon behavior.

Reports, girls night out, gamers and family memories

Yi Fei agrees to help her with her report. He first compares it to his own analysis and her report gives him a direction to work in project. Qian Fei stays up all night perfecting it with suggestions from ‘Master’. Her friend delivers it to Ms Fang’s desk but mean girl steals it. Everybody is worried about Qian Fei finding out her bf and new gf are part of the project. She is the only one that doesn’t know. The girls get together to celebrate and this gives YiFei’s gaming buddy a break. He has been nonstop texting her to get his gear back and wants to be in her team. He is now saddled with the team’s grunt work because she was guilted into it by her friends. It is kinda sad that her friend won’t say she’s engaged and show off her ring. She does not want to flaunt her relationship when everything is in flux for Qian Fei. Yi Fei guilts Qian Fei to have the guts to turn in her report herself. So she finally gets the nerve up to hand it directly to Ms Fang. Here I think she is biased due to the photo. The first part was all about work, but the word cherish goes with relationships and usually the significant other. Her attitude is much different. She does smirk that mean girl was caught with the missing report, but at least she was smart enough to not try to pass it off as her own work. She just wanted to bury it. Ms Fang passes out Qian Fei’s report as a model for her team to get with it. Here I have misgivings about her. She is completely honest about where the report came from but rather snide about her getting laid off. This does not sound like the supervisor that wanted her on her team. Something is off. The end of the show has a board meeting where she and YiFei are part of the group and maybe we will see why he really dislikes Ms Fang. I am enjoying the interactions between the leads but I really want them to start moving Qian Fei’s character along. She is finally making progress but she needs moved past the company that fired her. There was a touching moment when they shared memories about family until Qian Fei passes out. He totes her to bed and tucks her in wondering how she can be there and then gone just like that. Haha the friend’s mom was the evil gma on Her Blaze. It is fun seeing her be a stern but much warmer character than the ice queen from last drama. I like the cast but want the business side to move faster.

’ ’ uchuuu［ block in+coming kick ］TIIIME ’ ’

something not really talked about is how excellent the comedy in fourze is ，there are some obvious jokes that’re played up more than they should be but oh my god the subtle ones are so good LIKE JK BREAK+DANCING TO DODGE AN ATTACK & HAVING TO COMPLETE THE FULL CHOREOGRAPHY BEFORE ESCAPING. utsugi–sensei & tanimoto were both really excellent new characters along with koji nakamura. i was spoiled because i accidentally read this episode’s description & latched on to him being the true culprit with how he was centered between utsugi & gentaro’s argument. this show has a lot of tricks & thoughts up their sleeve but a lot of them work because it’s not the only thing they’re doing. the heart of the show makes it a fun bonus. as i said i enjoy utsugi’s character. it’s fun & she’s a great red herring for gentaro to hear out. she’s misunderstood but she also doesn’t know what to do & isn’t treated perfectly it’s nice. tanimoto also gets the fun of just being evil for the asake of it & also having the ego to make his motivations work. i am pleased this is the one to actuallt ascend to a hororscape.i enjoyed this episode a lot.
