What the heck is going on with the subtitles that everyone gets a new name every single damn time?!

You're right. I'll put it under spoiler.

I read all the comments below and saw many people getting confused by a couple things about this series. Trust me, I was confused at first too. But here are a few points I managed to clarify after giving it some thought:

-Tai got hearing loss way before his parents announced their divorce (probably since birth). That's why when it rained that day, Tian immediately went grab the Post-it to communicate with him.

-During his narration at the beginning of the first episode, Tai told us people with hearing loss would only start to hear the voice of their soulmates when they turned 20. That's why Tai began to hear Phat's voice on his birthday, which was apparently his 20th.

-When Tai called out to Phat outside the coffee shop at the end of ep 1 (and at the beginning of ep 2), Phat seemingly didn't realize the former was talking to him from behind, but he just thought it was his soulmate communicating with him via telepathy. That's why Phat didn't turn back, and Tai himself confirmed Phat does not know Tai is his soulmate yet.

-Phat undoubtedly has a crush on Tai without realizing he is his soulmate (at least up to this point). He must have seen Tai picking up the cat and commented on how adorable he was with his friends (the dialogue that Tai accidentally overheard). That's why later that day, he tried to tell Tai via telepathy he's going to defy his destiny (to go after the cat boy instead of his soulmate, without realizing they are the same person), before their conversation got cut off. Other evidences include how Phat explicitly expressed his affection toward Tai every time they met, and all of his vet friends obviously have known about Tai. When seeing Tai at the clinic for the first time, the female vet slipped "Nong Maew ", which means either "little cat" or "the cat boy" (the latter is more likely what she wanted to say, but Tai might simply think she was referring to the kitty). Therefore, I believe she must have been there the day Phat saw Tai picking up the cat and learned about how her friend is interested in that boy. Along with that, the other two vets always tease Phat when it comes to Tai, so they apparently know what's going on as well.

-Phat was probably making out with a girl at the end of ep 2, as it was shown in the trailer he is a player. Also according to the trailer, there's going to be a girl involved in the development of the main couple's relationship.

Noh has for not once but twice managed to captivate me in an otherwise mediocre series, so I'm really looking forward to his performance in this series. Besides, based on the trailer alone, the acting here seems much more natural than in Art Adore En, another reincarnation of the same BL saga.

Pee's visuals are no joke here. And I love how calm and mature his character is in this series as opposed to the goofy image he portrayed in YYY and Y Destiny.

Meanwhile, I find the character of Saengtai so unbelievably relatable. Like him, I work alone with my laptop most of the time and rarely hit my office, for I'm not sociable with my best friend being my own sibling. Therefore, I'm really looking forward to how his love story will unfold.

The good thing is now they are away from the office, we don't have to stand some annoying characters. I wish they'd stay in that mountain forever

I enjoy GearxNight and NeilxNick way more. There I said it. I don't know if their relationships are as messy as DayxItt in their own novels (if there are any, but since they are written by the same person, I guess it wouldn't be any less mind-f*cking). At least in this series, however, these four young men manage to take that constant frown off my face in every rare occasion they appear.

So this explains why there were so many random guys showing up at Din's funeral (and in some later eps) in Chains of Heart and I couldn't tell who's who. Iirc Art Adore En was announced way before Chains of Heart. If only we could watch this series first, then Chains of Heart would have been a little less confusing.

He was in War of Y, also with a minor role, unfortunately. But you could see him through the final part of that series, i.e. he had more screentime than here, with some topless scenes as a cherry on top iirc.

Every character is likable so far. Even that jerk Franc and his father are interesting. But my fav so far is definitely Prach, followed by his open-minded son Plawan. They are the most supportive friends one can ask for. During that scene when Prach was confronted by Franc and his father, he didn't talk much but his every facial expression was priceless.

At some point I even forgot this is a BL series, which is not a complaint however, cause every non-BL moment is well-executed and enjoyable. That said, it does not mean I do not enjoy seeing Kiew and Bamee together. To be honest, I personally don't find their chemistry highly intense just yet, but their scenes together were quite fun and very natural.

That extra scene at the end of Ep 6 accurately represents how I feel about heterosexual content in a BL show LOL

Everthing so far just screams low-budget, but there isn't a single moment in the first episode that I hate.

Cooper is doing what he is best at, playing a guy that casually gets on others' nerves (in a good sense).

I always think Marc looks more mature than his real age, but this time he is a complete cutie, which is a nice surprise.

And unlike Love in the Future, time travel is relevant in this series. The way Kiew reacts and slowly adapts to the situation is also more sensible.

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY LITTLE GIRLS? Damn, for long I've noticed the redundance of young girls in shows made by MFlow Entertainment (particularly Coffee Melody), but this time it's no longer tolerable. This coupled with the fact that there are quite a handful of older cast members is making the series hard to follow at the moment. Just focus on the two leads! Their scenes together, i.e. when there are only two of them, with no other characters who I still can't tell who's who, are the most interesting thing in the first episode.

How dare that father said he just wants his son to be happy when he himself is the sole reason he is not!

I think the actor who plays Noey is not intimidating enough as a gang leader, but his character is so interestingly weird that I'll let it slide (for now). As for Thi, I love how he is clumsy and annoying in an adorable way without making it feel so forced. Overall, this is like a breath of fresh air in comparison to recent BL series whose plot is either painfully absurd or predictable (or both).

This is a fairly well-made series, but maybe I'll comeback for it later when I've more free time. Long gone are the days when we were satisfied with BL couples merely as side characters, or BL hints and baits scattered in a het series, since there are now plenty of full-on BL shows out there with even better quality.

That sister is so manipulative that I feel so damn annoyed. The fact that she tried to jump the queue is so unacceptable, especially when it was done by a doctor, a highly respectable job. And when she bossed Xun An all the way to her apartment, I really wanted to send that bitch virtual slaps.

The first scene when the six main boys sat together and discussed the previous events made me cringe so much, but that kiss between Forth and Beam in the flashback was so damn fine!!

Thanks for your clarification. I did not notice the exact years pre- and post-time skip. Still, I don't think a regular college student could own an iPhone a decade ago. 2011 was the year I graduated from college, and not until two years later could I buy myself my first smartphone, which wasn't even an iPhone. Well, I guess Eiw's family is pretty well-off then.

The time skip is only from high school to college (3 years max), and yet the advance in technology from a dinosaur computer to a smart phone with an messaging app really bothers me...
