What a beautiful episode.

Just two souls, Minato and Shizuma, spending the day together at the theme park. It felt so sweet, almost like a little date, and it hit so much harder because of how gentle they were with each other.

When Minato opened up about not having parents to take him to places like this, it was heartbreaking. You could feel how much that moment meant to him, and it made the whole scene even more emotional.

And Shizuma… he’s dated girls before, but he finds Minato so captivating that he can’t look away. Hearing him admit he’s never stared at anyone this much was such a powerful moment.

I’m hurting for them, I’m rooting for them, and I’m so excited to see where their relationship goes from here.

2025 is the year of China BL, Revenged Love, ABO Desire, Kill to Love, all absolute bangers. I already know this one is going to be incredible too. And the fact that it’s 40 minutes with 15 episodes makes it even better. I seriously cannot wait!

I really liked episode five. It felt like a big improvement from episode four, but there’s still so much sadness between the characters. Ice clearly has feelings for Saint, and Saint feels the same for Ice. When Ice was at his lowest point, Warm was the one who stayed by his side, and that’s why they became boyfriends, but it’s clear Ice doesn’t truly love him. His heart is still with Saint.

It’s so ironic that the parents are forcing Saint and Lanee to get married. Saint is gay, Lanee is lesbian, and yet they’re being pushed into something that makes no sense. If this were the 1960s, I could understand it, but this story takes place in 2025, when same-sex marriage is already legal in Thailand. It’s hard to believe their parents still have that much control. They’re both adults, so why are they letting others decide their lives? If money is the reason and their parents are financially supporting them, I’d rather see them work part-time and build their own freedom than live in a marriage without love.

Then there’s Ice messaging Professor Mint, agreeing to meet him at the hotel. I can’t shake the feeling that it’s a setup, maybe Ice plans to record everything and expose him later. But Saint is worried, and if he goes to the hotel, he might ruin everything.

Thank you so much for this! I was really annoyed that the Thai text messages didn’t have English subtitles, you’re a lifesaver! I’d really appreciate it if you could do the same for the next 7 episodes too.

I hope your future husband gets away with attempted murder because, honestly, visiting him in prison every weekend sounds exhausting. Imagine explaining to immigration: “Yes, I’m just here to see the man who shot the Prince of Thailand, but it’s true love.” 💅😂

I did not see that ending coming in episode 4.
Jerome’s dreams are not ordinary dreams, they reach out and shape reality. In one of them, Jinn mentioned a book hidden beneath his drawer, a simple detail that felt too real to ignore.
When Jerome woke, he searched, and there it was, the book, filled with Jinn’s handwritten confessions, every line whispering the truth he had locked away.
All this time, while they were tearing each other apart with anger and pride, Jinn had been in love with Jerome. What looked like hatred was only a disguise, a way to hide the tenderness he couldn’t bear to reveal.
It’s not enemies to lovers, it’s a tragedy of hidden affection, where love burns quietly behind cold words, waiting for one fragile dream to bring it to light.

Thank you

Does anyone know who the shooter is at the end of episode 8, and which actor plays that character?

Sorry, I’m currently watching 24 airing BLs right now, so I completely forgot about that part. You’re right, he did take the guitar away. I remember now. I have a feeling he’s going to steal Ice’s song and use it for his own benefit.

Yeah, I agree, Warm definitely seems like a red flag, but so far he hasn’t actually done anything wrong. He just wants love and attention from his boyfriend, Ice, but it feels like he’s not getting it. I keep wondering why Ice even dated him in the first place. The preview for tonight’s episode looks really interesting. I can’t wait to see how Warm will react when he catches Saint in the closet. I’m 100% sure Ice and Warm are going to break up now that Ice has cleared up the misunderstanding with Saint.

That was the last time Aunty helped him because she could already see Pheem changing into someone else. The phone call took place after she helped him save Than.

I agree, but even if they had told him earlier, would it really have made a difference? She was already dead, and knowing sooner wouldn’t have changed anything. After she passed, the bodyguard informed Chet, and he still made it in time for the funeral. I’d understand being upset if he had missed it completely, but since he was there, I don’t think making a scene would have helped. It wouldn’t change what had already happened.
Honestly, I’m glad his mum died. She murdered Than’s mother by running her over and even tried to kill Than when he was just a little boy by pushing him down the stairs. She was lucky she ended up getting treated in the hospital instead of facing punishment in prison.

You’re welcome. It started off with “Sounds like the typical comment of someone used to being spoonfed drama fastfood,” and then ended with “You weren’t paying attention.”

That combination already got my blood boiling, and I just had to respond.

The first time Pheem shot Than, it wasn’t near his vital organs as the doctor described. He was terrified that Than was about to expose the evidence. All his years of hard work, all his plans for revenge, would be destroyed in an instant. But more than fear, there was anger. His mother had been murdered, and he had grown up in another country, consumed by pain and vengeance. In that moment, revenge was all Pheem could see, and he pulled the trigger out of pure rage.

Now, about the second shooting at the grave, here’s my theory. Pheem had no real choice. Risa orchestrated everything behind the scenes. She told their father that Than was a threat, that he couldn’t be trusted. So even if Pheem didn’t kill him, his father surely would. I don’t believe Pheem actually shot Than that night. The scene was cut, leaving so much open to interpretation. I think Pheem missed on purpose. Working in a hospital, he likely injected Than with something to fake his death. When the bodyguard came to check, it looked like Than was gone, but behind the scenes, Than contacted Aunty Nittaya, who secretly took him away to be treated in private.

You can tell they loved each other so much. If Pheem truly wanted Than to die, why did he shield him and take the bullet for him in the last episode? He sacrificed his life to protect the man he loved. That moment alone shows that beneath all the anger and revenge, love was still the strongest force between them.

I know many people believe their relationship can never be repaired after this, and I understand why. But we need to remember Pheem was never meant to be a green flag character. He has always been driven by revenge, haunted by loss. When he stood at his mother’s grave, he admitted that he finally avenged her, yet he felt nothing but sadness and emptiness. Because the one person he truly wanted beside him was Than.

If Pheem had been perfect, this story would lose its depth and thrill. It’s his darkness, his brokenness, and the pain between him and Than that make this story so gripping and heartbreaking to watch. Hence why this show is so addictive.

All five boys walking hand in hand down the street was pure adorable chaos! They even admitted it was embarrassing, but still did it anyway while laughing their hearts out, my serotonin levels went up instantly.

And Hioki cuddling Watarai overnight because he was cold? That scene melted me completely. They’re just so soft and sweet together! Watarai finally confessed his feelings, and now we have to wait another 7 years 😭

Never did I think a simple school trip plot could be this good. This show is fun, light, and ridiculously cute to watch. We’re almost halfway through, and honestly… I don’t ever want it to end. I could easily watch 100 episodes of them and never get bored!

Ignore AgneteThomsen for telling you off for not paying attention.

You really can’t tell Zamperx they “weren’t paying attention” just because they said nothing happened. That’s not how opinions work. Saying “nothing happened” doesn’t mean they missed the story, it means nothing meaningful or emotionally impactful happened for them.

Everything you mentioned like the crossing over, the parallel universe, the magical object, and the Sisyphus myth is already laid out in the synopsis. We all know that. The issue isn’t that viewers didn’t notice it, it’s that the delivery lacked spark. The pacing is slow, the dialogue is flat, and the storytelling doesn’t give those ideas any real weight or emotion.

You can pack in a thousand symbolic references, but if the script and direction fail to make the audience feel anything, then it’s just hollow symbolism. That’s exactly why many viewers, including Zamperx, felt that episode three was boring and added nothing new.

Not every quiet scene is “deep” just because it’s vague. Sometimes it’s simply dull. So yes, things technically happened, but when the writing and pacing make it feel empty, it still ends up being nothing.

Yes, I get that he already knows who he is, that’s not the point I’m making. I’m clearly referring to the surface-level setup of that first meeting scene. Even if Chen Shi knew deep down who YangYou was, the dialogue and delivery still play out like two strangers meeting for the first time. That’s literally how it’s written and presented on screen.

And sure, later the symbolism like the Sisyphus reference and the clock scene makes everything clearer. But not everyone’s going to jump straight to that conclusion during episode one. That’s part of storytelling, letting viewers question, interpret, and figure it out piece by piece.

Saying “it’s so obvious” kind of kills the fun of discussion. If everything was meant to be instantly obvious, the writers wouldn’t bother layering clues or metaphors. Some of us actually enjoy unpacking it at our own pace without being called “slow.”

Now this show has ended, it’s obvious that you’re the only one here who actually enjoyed it. Your cup of tea, but definitely not mine.

I feel sorry for Ping. He searched for love in Phana’s eyes but found none, so he went home believing home would be his safe place. Yet even there, he was unwanted. His mother, the woman who gave him life, called him a monster. Her hand struck him, and with that slap, the last piece of his heart shattered. It was never his fault. He did not choose to be half human, half merman. He did not choose to be different. With no mother’s love and a father long gone, he was left adrift in a world that refused to claim him. I wish I could reach into that sorrow, just to give him a hug he never received.

But every story has two sides. His mother was lied to. She fell in love and bore a child, only to discover too late that the man she loved was not human. Her world collapsed, and she was left alone to raise a son who reminded her of betrayal. Perhaps her anger was born from pain, not cruelty. Yet even so, blood should never turn away from blood. No matter what he is made of, scales or skin, he is still her child.
When she found his diary and read his words, her tears fell like rain, each drop heavy with regret. Only then did she understand that all her son ever wanted was her love, a simple dinner together, a smile, a moment of warmth.

If only they had spoken their pain instead of burying it in silence, their story might have ended differently.

But time is cruel. One day she will lie in her bed, old and frail, and the memory of her son’s eyes will haunt her. She will whisper apologies to the empty air, wishing she had loved him when she still could.
