great 2nd ep, i know al the Wan goofy moments…

great 2nd ep, i know al the Wan goofy moments r to his detriment in the BL, but i love those scenes as i busted out laughing so much cause of him, he is adorably funny & even though i get why everyone is cross with him - i would be laughing my head off if i was in that acting work-shop. & with all due respect (as i think Renji is another sweetheart) but lets face facts he knew his character but couldn't act to save his life. so IMO both the newcomers needed more time & guidance - & everyone forgot it was the 1st day. like plz with the condescending b.s. *************************************************************************************also find it kinda sad that Nine is gonna turn into the mean girl cause he can't share the spotlight, even if for this moment Wan suddenly has gained the fans attention - he is far from casting his shadow over Nine's star & it will take him time to be on the same level as Nine... but i guess when u r insecure even the hint of someone overshadowing ur fame is enough to make Nine lose his sh*t. how ironic that the reason Wan became his fan-boy was cause of how sweet & considerate he was.

Supernatural PLOOK SEKG Energy

I'm gushing, I'm clapping, my heart's racing, and my jaw's still on the floor—KHOM KHLANG episode 1 is out and it's giving major plook sekg (sacred charm) energy! ✨This isn't just any GL drama—it's steeped in saiyasart (sorcery), khatha (sacred incantations), and wicha (mystical knowledge) that'll have you believing in the unseen. The production design? Kong kraphan (spiritually fortified)—every frame is dripping with occult symbolism and ancient Thai mysticism.And the acting? Finally, GL actresses (both beauty queens: One is the first woman from Thailand to win Miss International and the first Thai delegate to win one of the Big Four international beauty pageants since Bui Simon was crowned Miss Universe 1988. The other was crowned the winner of Jaymart's Miss Mobile Thailand.) who already have true kong kraphan (protective magic) in their craft—no extra workshop hours needed. The storytelling is khlang (potent), the screenplay is sharp, and the screen presence of the rational police officer and spiritual master? Already pumping plook sekg energy—undeniable and powerful.Oh, and did I mention this is only EPISODE 1?! It's so refreshing to see that the whole cast seems to look like they're 101% Asian (not that Becky, Sonya, Charlotte, etc aren't yummy eye candy, but I do miss the authentic southeast Asian features sometimes): BULAN (Bint Sireethorn Leearamwat) is sultry, gorgeous, irresistible, and her chemistry with Peecha (Puinoon Warangsiri Tanajarusworaphat) is dang off the charts!Who else is already possessed by this new series?

this episode will be one that sticks for me.

I’m too strapped for time to continue to the next part but i really enjoyed this epiosde. I’m happy we didn’t wrap up & send off kotaro’s character in the last episode & actually see him help himself. I’m wonderinf if this is a quality of adapting a manga where we stick with characters for longer instead of guest appearances per episode. i really love ryota. before the episode ended i thought an abused child was the perfect example of fujigaya’s new plight of ending the cycle of violence. i felt like it was incredibly early but the reveal that the next kamen teacher was entering the game brought it all togerher. i wonder how taiga will tie back in majorly. the fourty+minute stories makes this make sense. but yeah i love this ，there’s a lot of superb action that’s incredibly creative because fujigaya won’t use violence & i imagine the lighter clothes allows them to be as agiel as possible. yanagi shuntaro was really great to watch in these sunts ，i really enjoy this cast.

A great start to a bittersweet love

I really liked the first 2 episodes. The acting, production, styling, and music are all good, although there are some editing/continuity issues here and there. Overall, it looks very promising, and the whole thing has this bittersweet vibe that I really like.It’s pretty clear that Ji Ming Xuan cares about Shen Mo, from the longing way he sometimes looks at him, how he wants to be closer to him, and especially how he’s the one reaching out to hold his hand. But it’s clearly obsessive. Like in the restaurant bathroom, when he tried to push Zhou Yang away by asserting his „ownership” over Shen Mo, while simultaneously reminding Shen Mo about their contract. And behind all of this, it feels like he’s also trying to comfort himself by keeping Shen Mo close and intimate, while reinforcing to himself, Shen Mo, and Zhou Yang that he is the one who can make Shen Mo feel that way, and no one else.At the same time, regardless of how much he cares, he’s still a jerk. He keeps pushing Shen Mo away and actually drops him on the ground after using him (or rather, making and allowing him to feel like he is using him), seemingly without caring how badly he treats him. And he seems to be isolating Shen Mo in that house/apartment while completely and selfishly dictating things about his life, like where he should have his desk, when he should take extra days off, what he should wear so he looks „presentable” and doesn’t „embarrass” him. As Shen Mo himself points out, Ji Ming Xuan is completely disregarding how all of this might make Shen Mo look to other people and leaves him alone to deal with it, despite Shen Mo repeatedly asking him to stop or at least reconsider.And Shen Mo just seems incredibly lonely. It feels like he has given up on being understood or having much say in his own life. And having lost his ability to work in his field, to do what he truly enjoyed... His puppy dog eyes are killing me! Even when he protests Ji Ming Xuan’s demands, there’s this feeling that he doesn’t really expect anything to change. I really feel for him.Ji Ming Xuan clearly wants Shen Mo close, but the way he goes about it is possessive, controlling, and at times feels cruel, while Shen Mo is trying to navigate whatever contract he has in place with him (I’m very curious to discover what this agreement is all about) and also trying to understand a relationship that he no longer fully remembers. For me, it’s a really promising start, and I’m looking forward to it.

The sweetness needs a little more spice

I have to blame Min in Payback for setting the bar. A newcomer to BL, playing someone so angry and full of hate…then gradually softening like buttercream. There was something satisfying about watching that sweetness emerge. Now I keep comparing him to Save in Mr. Fanboy, who is already serving diabetic-coma levels of sweetness…and we’re only on Episode 2.I know, I know…it’s an unfair comparison. Different characters, different stories. After all, he’s Cinderella among four princes. But even Cinderella needs a little personality beyond being the sweetest person at the ball. Save certainly delivers the sugar…I’m waiting to taste the other ingredients.And I keep hearing his character is already being identified as “the bottom.” Fine…but that tells me nothing about who he is. A bedroom role is hardly a character description. Give me some bite, some contradictions, something that makes him interesting beyond being adorable and desirable.The fanboy fantasy has its appeal, but I’m curious about what happens when admiration meets reality. Falling for someone you’ve idolized is one thing…getting to know the actual person is where the story could become interesting. For now, I’m still watching…just hoping the writers ease up on the frosting.
