Satisfying

With how the original series ended so poorly in my opinion with useless drama, even though everything before the final episodes had so much potential, this special five episode bonus absolutely fixed everything. It was really just fan service, but it was exactly what I needed to feel satisfied with this show. It was a ton of fluff, but that is exactly what I wanted!

A lot of people have issues with the lack of physical affection, which I really don't understand. Are all of you just so used to other BLs being extremely intimate and feel unsatisfied with this one? Do you just want your fantasy fulfilled? Because it sounds like that from a lot of what I've see. Because this story doesn't NEED to have that affection to get the love across—it shows affection with how the characters look at each other, the words they speak to each other, as well as the head-patting and other cute little things. Characters don't need to heavily make out to show that they care, of course I'd understand why some prefer that or wanted that from this show. I also like seeing such things, but I didn't need it from this show and the previous series. I think it's harder to showcase love if you have characters be less intimate, so if you can pull off showcasing it without it, then that just proves how well the characters feel for each other even more, in my opinion, and this show did that.

I don't think Bright and Win were awkward with each other at all. In fact, I really love how Tine is the shy one who still gets flustered and Sarawat just has heart eyes for him 24/7. Even though it's meant to be a year after dating, and some are like "Oh, no, a couple wouldn't be so shy after a year," I think you should take into consideration that both Tine and Sarawat are each boyfriends for the first time (to other guys), and that Tine is generally shy when it comes to him. A year really isn't that long. Not everyone rushes into a relationship and is suddenly super confident and comfortable with their significant other. Tine is so clearly in love with Sarawat and vice versa. I felt that. It's also alluded they are close to each other, except it's just not shown on screen due to the channel that the show is on. They live together, come on now.

Anyways, I actually didn't care at all for the side romantic relationships in the original series, but I absolutely adored Man and Type in this one. I think their dynamic is so beautiful, with Man being an absolute cinnamon roll and Type being more serious but clearly loving Man perhaps even more than Man does Type compared to the original series. Their shower scene was so beautifully domestic and it's one of my favorite scenes from the entire series. Personally, I think Toptap is the best actor on this show. His acting is really top notch compared to everyone else. He acts with his face and eyes, and I could really feel what his character was feeling with every expression. Props to him.
