The perfect ending to a fluffster cute and wholesome series!

Episode 10 is a little bit rushed. It could have been 2 episodes and added some more content that answered questions and made it feel a bit more "complete".That's it, that's all I can talk negative about it.This episode answered all questions. Sometimes I had follow-up-questions, but they did not need answering because we got what this series was about: Couples that love each other for who they are.I am a bit speechless because this episode played with my emotions - but not in a bad way (well, mostly) because there was one sure thing: Ya & Thorn chose each other. And they will always choose each other. That does not mean it is perfect or always easy, but they put each other on the first place and THAT ladies and gentleman WITHOUT toxicity! (Take notes, BL-writers, please, I beg you!!)I try to avoid spoiler, but read at your own risk: At the end of the episode (and I dare to say the end was so great, I had to shut off my heating pad, iykyk...) we know who tried to harm Apo, why Yas father is behaving like an idiot (although the reason was a facepalm-moment), finally some Tailah&Janjak moments (both are equally slow and they are ANOTHER reason I would have loved some more episodes, because slow burn is slow burning with them!) and we know what happened with the "real Apo" during this time.I need to calm down for a few moments before I can rate the whole series, but Episode 10 is amazing. No big plotholes, a little bit rushed, but still the adorable last episode for a fluff, adorable and wonderful series.

Why are you making me cry? And WHY are you setting the expectations for a relationship so high??

I was crying. Like literal tears - and I am NOT a person to shed tears easily.At this point we all agree, that Thorn is a sweet soul that needs protection and all the love that the world can offer, right? And I want to add, Ya does agree too because he is the one giving all of his love, heart and body (ehem) to Thorn.Being the sunshine he is, Thorn helps Ya in finding back his own free will and supports him, even though he is not always a fan of the things Ya has to do.But to our surprise (or maybe not because he just wants the approval of his father, poor kid) Ya has his own sense of justice and makes decisions differently than his father expects him to.And there we have it: The final conflict. The pinacle of suspense. Not only do we still not know WHO was the driver in the accident of Apo but now the father, always supportive up until now, seems to throw a fit and is no longer agreeing with the marriage. AND MAKING A SCENE AT THE WEDDING?? Talk about women are the emotional humans - pfffff.This episodes gives you a plot twist, a lot of tears because of hurt feelings, a lot of tears because of joy, a lot of spice (and not the kind you have in your food) and a possible topic you can discuss during your next anger management-session (or just get you a huge Pan (wordplay anyone?) and knock some sense into that father).One thing I do not understand: When the father can read minds too, WHY IS HE SO FRIGGIN SELFISH?? Why is he missing this part of personality-trait where you can feel some empathy with other people? Not even your SON? Oh boy...

Getting inTents and space to breathe

(If you get the joke in the caption and the cross reference to Monster Next Door, please clap yourself on the back now. You deserve it.)Episode 7 ended with a heavy make-out session on their end and some tears and happy screeching on my end. Episode 8 starts where it ended but in a more homey and domestic kind of way. One question is still not answered: WHO did this to our Apo? Who was at fault for his car accident? This episode focuses on that, bringing back Poppy/Francois and introducing a pretty neat Police officer who seems to be a friend of Ya, so he seems reliable. (I don’t know anything more than you at this point that’s why I am writing it this way.)Phopthorn still wants to be loved, wants a happy family and we get a glimpse of his old life - extremely sad and my heart ached for this little boy. I love this show because Ya is a guy with the right kind of moral compass and although he is not perfect (still thinking about the dance with his Ex, I have not forgiven yet) he can relieve Thorn in his sadness and calm him down (even without reading his mind).I liked this episode because Big and Park had some screentime without each other and could show off how good of an actor they are when they are not together. Their characters could show, how much they loved each other by actions they did for each other while the other is not there. And of course I liked the Episode 8 because our 2nd couple could finally (in my eyes) get some character. They fought and set some boundaries and not for some nonsense but for some real topics. All in all am I absolutely devastated that this was already Episode 8. This means there are only 2 more episodes and I am very very happy to see BigPark on my screen and very very sad that there are only 2 episodes left for me to discover.~~~~~~~End note just for my consciousness: I bought this episode on Fast Track because I need BigPark and this whole comfort show in my life right now. If you’re angry that WeTV tries to make money with their products (e.g. shows), welcome to capitalism.

The essence of the plot: would you want to be seen as someone else?

This episode had me screeching, crying and sweating (in this order).Poor Popthorn has to apologize to - what feels like - everyone. Apo was a very self-centered being so he made a lot of people angry. Unfortunately our sweet soul Popthorn is not so self-centered and not very confident.The whole Plot of “Me and Who” or how it’s called in Thai “The Fake Po” (don’t come at me, it is close to this) boils down to the question: If you have to live another persons life - how long could you endure it?If no one sees you for who you really are, what does it to you?And if the person you are stepping in for is so different than you are - does it break you or can you cope with it?Popthorn puts in the work: he plans, organizes, comes up with amazing and/or cute ideas for the company event. Yet, in the end, no one seems to acknowledge him for who he is. They all had put him in the nice little “Apo”-Box where is kept safe and sound and most important, hidden, because he has changed and no one can see this as he is hidden in this (metaphorical) box.Not only is this extremely frustrating for him but for all of us who have changed ourselves to the better and have not been seen or acknowledged by the people around us. I can relate so much with him, still having the phrases of friends or family in my ears “that is just a phase”, “you really think you can keep this up” or similar things.I am not spoiling the end of this episode but I am extremely happy that it is close to the book as this is something we all deserve and many people are yearning for.I hope there is someone in your life that sees you for who you really are. 🥺Yea, well… 10/10 for this episode, despite the cringy massage-scene because Park even delivered that scene.Not to mention the ending that made me give some extra points…

Ladies and Gentleman and everyone else: ✨COMMUNICATION✨

My most hated trope: When they don’t talk. They disagree, they fight, then run away. And then you have to endure 0,5 (when you’re lucky) or 2, 3, countless episodes of “not talking”.BUT NOT IN THIS CASE!Po wants to protect Ya and don’t make things awkward for developing feelings for this amazing speciMEN called Ya. Well, too bad that Ya (and his male siblings) can read minds. Zoom in on this mischievous little Brother of Ya: Nongdieuw. Cleverly getting things he wants (oh spoiled little boy wants to spend time with his Phi, whom he barely sees because man is working too much - THAT is a sweet soul) while blackmailing (oh, maybe not THAT sweet of a soul) both his Phi AND Phis fiancée with his knowledge of their feelings for each other. That was some game play, Mr. Nong. I applaude you!Okay, I might get 2nd lead syndrome with JengPan because freaking out because you might get a drink order wrong is… sweet. But they had me when our cute Pan talked about not being the main lead in his friend group. Oh boy, I can relate. Please please PLEASE Jeng, I BEG you to treat Pan like the main lead prince he is (while being 2nd couple in Me and Who… er…. well, okay, moving on…Moving on to WHERE because this episode only was 40 minutes??? The first 5 episodes were wayyy too short but this one was Princess Shortcake from Shortcity. I need more. I am sad. And happy. And sad.Go do what you want with this, but PLEASE WATCH THIS SERIES. 😭😭

P'Ya has Baggage and we are going to unpack it...

In an attempt to sabotage the relationship P'Yas mother brings out the big guns: His Ex. They did not brake up because they did not love each other any more, rather they broke up because they could not handle a long distance relationship.This makes a great storyline for this episode as Tailah still needs to get his burn wound treated and get over his feelings for Po.What better way to unpack all of the luggage (if you see the scene you will appreciate this word-pun) as going on vacation with your family-in-law to their family home at a beach? Right? Right.I loved every single minute and again this episode was waayy TO SHORT!! It is hart to explain, why I love everything about this series, so you just have to trust me, look at my ratings from other series and build your own opinion with this series.PLEASE DON'T SLEEP ON THIS FEELGOOD-GEM! 💎

A Light and Charming Japanese BL

Wow, I didn’t expect this new Japanese BL to pop up on my GagaOOLala app on a quiet Sunday, but what a pleasant surprise. The first episode did not disappoint. The story may be simple, but it carries that quiet, heartfelt charm that Japanese BLs always capture so well.Hioki is quiet, awkward, and a little withdrawn, the complete opposite of Tokai, who is tall, handsome, and one of the most popular boys in school. Opposites definitely attract, and I can’t wait to see how their chemistry unfolds. When Hioki accidentally promises Tokai that he’ll do anything for him, it leaves us wondering what Tokai will ask for, maybe something he’s been hiding all along, like a secret crush from their primary school days.The cast fits perfectly, the music is soft and nostalgic, and the atmosphere feels warm and sincere. It’s a simple yet captivating start that already has me hooked. Looks like my Sundays just got a lot sweeter until the end of the year.
