EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT

This was the episode where EVERY single couple was excellently showcased and we saw massive development. *Kon Diao & Hia Yi made headway. Hia Yi was definitely fighting some inner struggle, while Kon Diao was making sure to be ASSertive in grabbing his territory (if you catch my drift). *Syn was oblivious but kind and caring. Neau was understanding & amazed. Me? My heart was stolen by them both. I found them to be that super sweet innocent high school couple that just met - like Hot Guy w/ Geeky, o oblivious girl. Loving them. *Hia Lian & NuKuea were just breathtaking. Talk about getting to know you. Hia Lian was taking seriously the art of trying to understand his future husband. Yes, there is manipulation in the steps he's taking but he's sincere. Little by little Kuea is coming out of his shell & in the process, Hia Lian is finding himself in awkward situations where NK is learning more about him. At the end of the day it works both ways.

This episode! This fucking episode!It killed…

This episode! This fucking episode!It killed me from the start to the end!Well... It starts from the last scene we saw last episode, just in case anyone forgot about, like I haven't rewatched it thousands of times this week while waiting for this ep to come out! Anyway, they found a way to make me scream even more, because they gave us different angles, more details a change of score and sounds. SOUNDS!We are not even full 5 minutes into the episode and you already killed me! WTF?!For a second when that alarm went off I thought it was an alarm clock and it was everything a dream and I was this close ??to go on a killing spree... It was not a dream, but the moment was "ruined" anyway, so they were on thin fucking ice!Then they kinda come back with their normal back and forth of teasing, because a kiss can't resolve years of whatever the fuck they have going on! But the seeds are there we only have to wait for them to grow, in this episode they make a lot of steps, very important steps. They go out on actual dates, spend quality time together, start to know each others better. Kuea is still denying everything but I understand that, he's been hiding everything for so long it actually became a part of what he is. When you get to that point it's hard to come back, and I'm not even sure if there's actually something before that... Seeing the way both, he and Lian have been raised, the pressure both of them received for different reasons, I see the reason why both of them went on with their acts. They truly love each others despite the arranged marriage, but they've never been free to be who they are bothe as individuals and as a couple!It is really interesting!Going on with the episode I loved the scenes between Yi and Diao, and not only because of the kiss.When Yi wake up and immediately regret all of his life choices and Diao is right there by his side teasing him by mirroring in a more confrontational, talkative and sweet way, the way we saw Yi act towards Diao in the 2nd episode,when he came back slightly drunk after comforting Kuea. In that occasion Yi was waiting for him sitting on the couch in his dominant (?!) way. And Diao is doing something similar in this episode, he is teasing him, he seems more confident, he seems to have more power now in whatever their relationship is.Then he switch briefly to the way we are more used to see him act, his posture changes and his tone of voice too, when he gives the glass of water he was holding, to Yi, and tries to offer him comfort. Their relationship is really interesting to me, because we lack of informations and every little detail could mean something even if we don't know yet!Yi always tries to act cool and confident and always in perfect control, similar to Lian, but in this episode in particular we can see that when this is towards Diao it is an act. He is fragile and full of doubts and not at all in control of things, in fact I believe that unknowingly the one who has power in here is Diao. And this is suggested by the kiss too. Yi started it after Diao confirms that he feels lonely, but when he ends it saying "I'm sorry!" it is Diao that implicitly says him to keep kissing him. And the more we see that kiss go on, the more it is Diao who's in control, gives direction and set the pace. And when things start to escalate a little bit to quickly, it is Yi who flees the scene, probably because of that something in the past we know nothing about right now. Really loved it!Moving on to the next couple... Nuer and Syn are a joy to watch. Not having a history and previous relationship before, they are interesting to watch for totally different reasons. Especially to see the way Nuer perceive Syn and the way he slowly falling for him. He might have come to cause problems on purpose with Kuea, but the one who got his attention is Syn and I totally understand him. There's something in his personality, his behavior, his selflessness, his honesty that his truly fascinating and he carries it in such an effortless way that clearly baffled him. They has probably the most genuine and straightforward relationship at the moment, and there isn't even anything yet! LOVE IT!The fourth part of this episode is so amazing I don't even know where to start to talk about it...Kuea and Lian are right in front of Pentagon and Kuea is hesitant, so Lian start to tease him into committing. He wanted Pentagon, he wanted to be there! The only way he is currently capable of achieving things with Kuea is by teasing him, so that's what he does.And when they finally get inside and we meet Lian's friends (there are other people in his life besides the one we already knew... AMAZING!) we see even more how important this moment is!The never have I ever game is always interesting to discover things about people, I do it often at parties, I think it is one of the funniest way to learn things about people you know and people you are starting to know! And it serves its purpose brilliantly there's also Yi being a little shit/amazing best friend, I couldn't have asked for more. Throughout the entire scene we sees how important this date its for their relationship and the way it is perceived by others around them. Lian being the one to pour wine for Kuea is talked about because it is important, it is not meaningless.I love that their engagement is used about to talk about a relevant and actual issue in Thailand about the laws for the equality marriage. I loved it! It is important to talk about it!The episode then finished the way it started, but better because now the kiss will make Kuea understand Lian's true feelings considering the words he said before it! In this case too the main lead of the kiss is Kuea, he is the one deciding! And Lian is totally caught in it, so much that he forgot the world around him, in particular his friends who are still there watching them. When he realizes it he is flustered, but instead of stopping it he cut he and Kuea out by hiding behind a menu. That was cute!I'm really in love with this drama! It will be a torture having to wait until next week...
