The uncut version is considerably longer and makes much more sense. There are a few tedious scenes, but in some cases the cut version reverses thee meaning of scenes. but if for some reason you don't want to watch the full version, here is a summary of all the cut scenes.
Episode 1 - 1:05:06
1. When they're moving in, Creepy Landlady tells the mom she has to give offerings every day to the spirit that protects the house, who is named Uncle something (can't remember). Mom leaves her tea, which is why the old man is drinking it later. That makes it clear that it's he who banishes the evil ghosts at the end. Creepy lady also tells mom the sofa in the living room can never be moved.
2. There's a scene where Phob gets on Phab's laptop and unpauses what Phab was watching ( Lovely Writer, which is really funny). Phab comes back and is confused, and he has a pause/unpause battle with Phob. That's why later on the guy who plays Pha on Gen Y is there (looking hot in glasses, although that's no particular challenge for him). We don't find out what he transferred to his thumb drive or why he did it.
Note: The scene when Phob saves Phab from jumping off the balcony is also non-linear in the full version, depicting their dream conversation after he wakes up, so you didn't miss anything here.
Episode 2 - 1:04:14
1. Long scene - Phat's mom goes to a Buddhist temple to meet Phat's father, who is a monk. She tells him Phat misses their old house and is pretending the new place is haunted, and she thinks he faked the sleepwalk almost off the balcony for attention. Dad says when their film was removed from theaters just as his mother died, Phat's mom found him with a kitchen knife and thought he was going to hurt himself, but he has no idea why he had the knife, but he had dreamed of his mother and she was angry that he didn't visit her before she died and the vision still haunts him, and is the reason he became a monk. He's afraid Phat is like him in that way, and asks if mom has done anything to disturb Phat lately. She get angry and blames everything on dad. He asks if there's anything he can do to help, and she says "disappear from our memories."
2. Right after Dream banishes the ghost in her room, Luck calls her and asks what they were doing that night in Phat's room (because he watched the video he took). She's irritated and hangs up. He takes off his shirt and runs his hands up and down his body and flexes his abs. Sorry, that last part was just my imagination. Darn.
3. Dream passes her mother who is making an anti-evil charm that's she saw was missing from Dream's father's room. She uses some Japanese terms and Dream insists she's Thai. Luck comes over, takes off his shirt, and... sorry, doing it again. He says hi to Dream's mother then goes upstairs and the rest is the same as the cut version.
4. Phat's mom is making congee while remembering Phat's sleepwalking incidents. Phob shows up and want congee, making Phat act weird which makes his mother concerned.
5. After his mother falls asleep, Phat leaves the room to ask Phob not to enter his dreams tonight because he doesn't want to freak out his mother with his sleepwalking, Phob agrees and looks a little sad after Phat leaves.
Episode 3 - 1:11:01
1. The opening is much longer, with Phob waking up in a black void with dry ice smoke, and people heading for a door with a bright light behind it. Eventually Phob goes through the door and that's where the cut version begins. It's not important to the story, except it fills the blank between Phob's death and him showing up at the house.
2. Phob asks his mother if she knows anything about anyone having an accident or dying in the neighborhood, and she's annoyed because she's trying to watch Lovely Writer. She urges Phob to get a boyfriend like Kao, "handsome and with sixpack abs". (You do get to see Kao shirtless.)
3. The Landlady comes over and Phob asks her the same question, and she denies there are any ghosts and leaves in a hurry, but it seems like she can see Phob but is pretending she doesn't.
3. This is rather major. When the ghosts are after them, one catches Phob and is hurting him, and Dream shows up and banishes it, then they run to the house and have a loonnnnngggggggggggg-ass conversation about her and her paternal side of the family all having ghost-seeing and summoning powers, and she's always been able to see Phob. She did give Phob a charm bracelet made of her hair that can help against ghosts. It's mentioned the that Guardian Spirit is very powerful and can banish an army of ghosts - but only in and around the house.
Episode 4 - 1:03:02
1. After Mom searches Phat's room, she goes down and puts bubble tea on the altar and yells at the spirit (who doesn't appear) to keep people out of the house, until landlady shows up and says she should respect things that have been there longer than they have. She goes inside and tries to move the couch - it's heavy so it's difficult. Phat comes home but doesn't help her, and she doesn't ask him to.
2. Landlady is at home eating fruit - she turns on the TV, which is monitoring Phat's house - she see's the couch is missing and runs over there and fights with mom, who relents when Landlady is obviously distraught and cries, and the couch goes back to where it was. She tells a long-ass story about how a man named Mr. Kim moved in, who is played by a handsome actor, not someone we've seen yet - she's smitten, and he obviously likes her too, but he's married. Eventually his wife leaves and he moves away without telling Landlady, and calls her only to ask her to rent out out the house. She seems to be connecting with Phat's Mom, who tells her she's strong and can let go of Mr. Kim, and she gets stiff and asks her not to move the furniture and leaves.
Episode 5 - 53:44
1. Scene after Phat gives the bat to Phob - Lak (that's how Luck spells it in texts) is at home - he looks at texts from Dream that aren't translated but are probably "you around?" "I'm busy painting" - he looks mildly frustrated, then rewatches the footage he took of the seance, and then here's the weird part - he looks up something about Area 51 and then glances at his poster about (outer space) aliens.
2.Landlady brings over a tray of leaf wraps and then stands awkwardly until Mom invites her in. She thanks Mom for putting the couch back. It turns out Landlady is an excellent cook. Phat comes home from Dream's place and Phob appears. Landlady can either see him or she senses something based on her expression, which is more upset than scared.
3. OK, this omission seems very important. Before the gay wedding, there's another scene in the play - Phob and Actor Boy have broken up because of something Phob did, Phob wants another chance, but Actor Boy says no - after the play they'll be done with each other, period. They then stand back to back, Actor Boy counts down from 3, they turn around, and begin the wedding scene.
Episode 6 - 1:16:45
1. The episode starts with a scene backstage where Phob is speaking with Win (red shirt guy). Some of this conversation is in the cut version in the flashback. Win tells him Ben is kicking him off the play and replacing him with Phob even though the premier date is coming up. Phob says he’s overthinking and that he’s not an actor. After the part seen in the uncut version, he says that Ben’s ex told everyone about his lies which is why he has no friends in the drama department. He asks Phob not to tell Ben he told Phob this, and he agrees. Win says Ben is waiting for Phob in the rehearsal room. If the play gets good feedback, Ben will enter it in NOVA and replace win with Phob. We’re at about 7:00 including the scenes from last week. This was a long scene that didn’t add much.
2. After the credits, Ben is sitting in his dressing room staring into a mirror. He shuts his eyes and remembers trying to fold a bat – there are discarded failures all over the floor. He gets frustrated, crumples his latest effort and throws it in anger. He looks at photos of Phob on his phone and smiles, then lays on his bed next to a jacket that is laid out – it must be Phob’s and he pretends it’s him. He’s brought out of his memory by a stage hand calling his name and tapping his shoulder. Ben says “Didn’t I tell you to leave me alone?” Stagehand says “I only came to tell you it’s curtain time.” Ben resumes staring at into the mirror and tries to put on a happy face. The acting here is really, really good. We return to the play and Ben is doing a strange dance with hints of classical Thai but he’s really throwing himself around the stage. We go back to the past – Ben is rehearsing his line “Why would you come back and ask me when you’ve already made up your mind?” Phob enters and asks where Win is. Ben says he’s busy and asks Phob to help him rehearse. Phob says yes, and then we immediately snap to the moment in the play when the lights go off and they’re standing with their backs to each other where Ben asks “The play is over – why are you still here?”
3. At the end of the play is a cut scene of Ben dancing again, but even more crazy and violently throwing himself around. He collapses to the floor, and that’s when Phob leaves the theater.
4. Phat follows Phob outside where he’s sitting in the parking lot. Phat says it’s dangerous for him to come out alone and Phat needs to protect him with Dream’s hair. Phob says he can remember everything (I think he means about the events of the play) and doesn’t want to learn any more about himself. Phat says he need to so he can move on, and then they see Ben at his car and go talk to him.
5. In the scene where Phat confronts Ben in the theater, when Ben asks him to prove Phob is there, he gets a white knit blanket and throws it over an empty chair, but suddenly it’s covering the figure of a man, which is cool and creepy. Ben asks the figure if he’s Phob, and the head slowly turns toward him and nods, he grasps the blanket but if falls away and Phat explains Phob can only touch things for a brief time. Ben asks why Phat can see him, and Phat explains the ritual. Ben asks to go through the ritual, and if he can see Phob he’ll answer all his questions. This is why Ben is not doubtful while they’re doing the ritual.
6. In the living room, Landlady says she didn’t know Ben and Phat were friends – he says they just met, and asks if she can help him see Phob. She turns and looks straight at Phob who says “you can see me?” She doesn’t answer. She says she knows (ambiguous what she knows) and that’s why she’s there to help – but she can only show him Phob for a brief time because his mind isn’t ready for more. Dream asks how she can do that, and she just looks at her pocket watch and says “it’s almost time”. Then we return to the cut version.
7. Right after Ben says he wan.ts to speak to Phob alone, they have a discussion. Dan says they haven’t spoken since ‘that day’, and Phob says Dan got mad before he could say anything. But that Ben should understand why Phob was hurt by what he did. Ben says he’s sorry, and Phob apologizes for being too harsh that day, and now that he’s seen the play, he understands Ben better, and he thinks Ben understands himself better too. He wonders about Ben not being mad at Win and Dan letting him play Phob in the play, and Ben says he doesn’t blame him anymore.
8. When Dream is about to leave, Landlady says “you’re special – probably from an elite family. It’s a pity you won’t use it.”
9. When Dream says she wants to break up with Luck he grabs her as she’s leaving and says he wants to talk. She says she knows that he’s using this to hide how he feels and if he can’t accept her for who she is and really accept himself (I don’t know what she means by that), then they shouldn’t waste time. The scene switches to him being at home where stares at a poster of an alien. His sister calls and reminds him to make merit for their parents’ anniversary at the end of the month. The power goes out and we jump to Phat’s power going out.
10. Landlady is burning incense at Guardian Uncle’s altar. She can see him too, but they don’t talk. He looks thoughtful as she leaves. The power goes out. We see Dream in her room painting – the power goes out. She gets upset (I think about Luck) and defaces the painting. Luck is at home very upset staring into a weird Astro-globe thing that projects stars all over his ceiling (and his face). Phat’s mother is outside the gate staring at the dark house almost crying. Ben is throwing all his bats in a fire. Tears are on his face, but then he smiles. Phob is just about to leave Phat’s room – he looks upset, and leaves. Phat turns around and stares at the spot where Phob had been lying. Episode ends.
Episode 7 - 1:09:01
1. Phat's mother is in bed, and she wakes to hear Phat crying out for Phob - it's a creepy scene. It then goes straight to the first scene in the cut version.
2. Robbery #1 - there's an adorable scene where Phat is lying with his head on Phob's lap. Phob tells Phat the origami story, and fills in what you probably suspected, that the old magazine pages had photos of her when she was young, which is why she was upset. They agree that there must be something that they need to do other than NOVA. Phat looks troubled and Phob reaches for him and strokes his hair - it's so f#$%ing cute. And it really helps set up the hug scene later so that it's less sudden. Phob ends up playfully but roughly mussing him up and shoving him and tells him not to stress over him.
3. Luck is researching something on his computer, but it's all in Thai and they don't subtitle it. He unbuttons his shirt and takes if off. He pours oil over his chest and rubs it sensually all over, his hands moving ever lower... Sorry, that was my imagination again. There is one English word onscreen, Plasmophobia, which means "fear of ghosts" and then later on the page in quotes "good bye". I suspect this was about ghosts taking away the living to reinforce Phat's mother's fears later. The scene shifts to Dream's room, where she's listening to a podcast about how a Japanese white-haired cult leader and his flock committed mass-suicide 6-7 years ago as she's dying her white roots blue.
4. This is pretty important - they do the blanket trick for Phat's mom and she believes Phob is tthere - that changes the meaning quite a bit, because in the cut version it looks like she thinks Phat is crazy, whereas in the full version she's afraid of Phat leaving the world with Phob.
5. Robbery #2. They cut out the kiss, which was absolutely beautiful. I can't believe they did that. It wasn't passionate, but you could really feel the love and it was shot perfectly. Right after Phat says "No, you're MY boyfriend now", Phob reaches up puts his hand on Phat's cheek and runs his thumb over his lip before he leans in and they kiss. They neither do the ridiculously long lean in, nor the uke having his eyes pop open wide for no reason - it's just a natural and really lovely kiss. But here it is:
https://twitter.com/BLUPDATE2022/status/1499088814014222336?t=qq4wvJi8sOynScd1Ll1Q7A&s=19
6. After the kiss scene, Phat's mom is having lunch with creepy landlady. Mom asks if she thinks a human and ghost can love each other - LL is shocked, so she says it's for a script she's writing but she can't get into it. LL says yes, but it can't last because a human and a ghost live in different worlds and the ghost will inevitably move on, and often the human can't move on from it. She's shown in bed later researching and there's a story about a mother who's daughter becomes more and more remote and is heard walking around at night asking for help and that something was trying to take her with it. Landlady brings food to the house spirit altar, and he tells her she should "let it go". She replies that it's almost time, and Satie's Gnossiene #3 starts playing. She's home and marks a day off on her calendar. There's something written on it coming up in a few days, and she says "It's almost time for us to meet, Mr, Kinn." Then it goes to the cemetary scene.
7. Phob's mother has a dream - she's standing in a black void asking a subtly sinister-looking Phat to stay with her. Phob is behind Phat and says "It's time to go." The music is romantic-scary and quite nice. Phat says goodbye to his mother, takes Phob's hand, and they walk away, Mom wakes up on the haunted couch screaming.
8. In the confrontation with his mother's ghost, Phat pulls out Dream's hair to banish her, but Phob tells him not to. That's when the house spirit shows up.
Episode 8 - 1:13:39
1. After the ritual, Landlady goes outside to the latar - probably binds her father to the house. Tells him to protect who lives there. The scene ends with landlady shutting the gate with her father staring after her. The credits roll.
2. Landlady is meeting with Ben - the scene takes place after she helped him see Phob. Ssks him where Phob's father is - he says he doesn't know, she says she sees through his acting, knows he's lying. He replies that if he's acting like he doesn't know to protect Phob's family, he's also pretending not to know what landlady did to Phob's family before they moved out. He says he's leaving to pack his things as he's moving away. She says she hopes when he moves everything gets better - she observes he's good at moving, restarting and going with the flow
3. Landlady is outside, tells her father that he's to blame for everthing that's happening.
4. After the scene where Phob is sitting on the ground with Phat, they wake the next moring in bed. They're fully dressed and there's no implication they did anything. Phob wakes him by pinching his face, and they wrestle/tickle fight - it's adorable. Phat gets a text from Luck, who wants to come see him.
5. Dream is at home having dinner with her mother and a portrait of her father. Dream asks why they need it there, another mom says it's their wedding anniversary. Dream says he didn't care about them. Mom says she never agreed with the things he did and she agrees he didn't really care about them, but she misses him anyway.
6. There's a title that reads "13 days left" and there's a cute scene where Phob teaches Phat how to fold an origami heart. Phat asks if he's spoken to Uncle Nong since the confrontation, and Phob says he can't face him. Phat reminds him that Nong has always helped him, and maybe if he doesn't know what to say, he can do it with origami. Phob goes downstairs with an origami rose - Nong is standing inside the sliding glass door staring out - there's a storm. Phob asks why he's inside because he rearely comes in, and he points out it's raining. He apologizes, says he had Phat order bubble tea just how he likes it - Uncle Nong plays hard to get, but forgives him. It's stopped raining and they're outside with Nong drinking the tea. Phob apologizes again and Nong apologizes too and says he understands why Phob was angry. Phob asks why he can now touch Phat, and Nong says he's becoming more self-aware. The more he knows himself and the person he wants to touch, the more they can feel him. The wayward ghosts are at the gate. Phob comments he'll become like them soon, and Nong says all of them are much alike. Importantly, he says the dead can't come back on their wn - they can only be brought back by the living - which begs the question who brought Phob back, but this isn't discussed.
7. After Phat talks to his mother, Phob is upstairs thinking about what she said - he sees an origami bat atop the bookshelf, and this sparks the memory about making a dress for his mom, which in the cut version is moved to the scene at his father's house. The flow is much better with it here because this is what prompted the visit to Phob's dad.
Episode 9 - 1:24:28
1. Cut scenes 1-3 all come in a row after the credits. Phob is trying to sketch, but he can’t do it – he’s scribbling fiercely and there are crumpled papers everywhere. Phat tries to comfort him, and Phob is afraid he’ll become like his mother. Phat hugs him tight and long – its sad ad adoragble.
2. Phat is at Dream’s – they discuss that they can’t help Phob with the drawing – it has to come from him. Phat comments she’s drawing Manga again. Dream says she has something important to tell him, and he interrupts to say he knows she broke up with Luck, and then he defends him and says he’s a good person and tells him about when he came to see him and that she should take him back. It’s clear she was about to tell Phat that she’s in love with him before he interrupted. You feel sad for her, but not really because she gets to play with Luck’s body and lick him as much as she wants.
3. Phob phases through the closed door of Phat’s mother’s room at night. He searches for something. His presence disturbs her sleep. He finds the memory chip.
4. Nuan visits Phat’s mother before she goes to say goodbye to her father. She tells Phat’s mon she’s returning to he hometown which is Ayutthaya (of course) and that Mom can redecorate however she pleases. She says mom is strong and urges her to stay strong.
5. Very short – Phat walks into the room and climbs onto the bed before he puts his head on his shoulder.
6. During the scene with Phob’s father once Phobs sits, Dad says Phob misunderstood what he saw with Nuan. There’s a flashback to that where you see that he’s semi-delirious and that when Nuan leans to kiss him he sees her as his wife – when he realizes it’s Nuan he pushes her away.
7. Dream is on the phone with Phat and says she’ll look in her father’s books for something. She goes to bookshelves and looks at a lot of paperbacks for what seems like several hours before locating the only hardback in the entire room full of pulp romance novels. There’s a note inside from her father that says he’s sorry and that she hopes she can put the book to good use – this goes directly to the scene where she runs downstairs and Luck is there.
8. Nuan is at the altar – she performs a ritual to release her father – she unwinds a red thread from around the idol. He’s not in the scene.
9. Dream & Luck are walking home – she asks if he believes her now – he asks if she believes him, and she apparently doesn’t, but they agree they can tell each other everything now. The wind rises ominously more than once. There’s a blinding light and Luck falls to the ground, seemingly dead – Dream can’t revive him – but he gasps and sits up – she asks what happened to him, and he says he doesn’t know, but whatever took his parents is still here.
Episode 10 - 1:14:31
1. The opening scene is the Nova awards presentation. Dream (Luck is with her, his broad, muscled shoulders making her look tiny), Phob, & Phat don't win. The audience boos - the whole thing is corrupt and the awards all went to children of important people.
2. They cut the entire love scene. They make out really beautifully for quite a while, then have sex - there's not a lot of the sex because Phat pulls the blanket over them, and then it cuts to them on the floor. Phat is the top, if that's important to anyone.
3. In the scene where they sit out to watch the stars, there's a makeout scene which was cut.
4. This one is really important - Phat is asleep, and Phob kisses him goodbye.
5. Before Phat's mother gives him the box, she's playing the piano (terribly). Phat joins her and she says she wrote the song for him, before he was even born. I think this is a jump forward to after Phob ascends to wherever.
6. Phob creates a FB profile after the scene on the bed. This is also in the past.
7. After the initial credits, there's a scene of a random scary ghost wandering into the house while another one passes by outside.
Found "the PAuse button war" on twitter

Sunny2345678:Thank you so much for sharing this! I'm really surprised that they cut so much of dream's scenes especially because i thought her character was really interesting and I was waiting for the reveal that she could see ghosts
Unfortunately it was so boring, nonsensical, and poorly acted (not her fault - the script was unperformable) that it's much better that they left it out, although it's going to be abrupt that she can see ghosts without explanation.
QueerDudeGermany:Thanks for that! I wonder how they could cut so important scenes, especially the last one seems to be significant for the whole series
Maybe because it's very long and the acting is terrible - the episode really is better without it. We'll see if the ommission is confusing later - I'm sure it was to people watching the scenes from last episode!
