The Saebit Highschool Prince Competition is FIXED! I tell you. Fixed. And the reason Daon was napping was because he was busy stuffing the phony ballot boxes and hiding the real ballots.

So far, it’s been an moving into sadder territory each episode. I don’t know if they plan to level it off and let them climb out of it, or just swallow them up with it.

Lordy. What is it with BL and killing off parents. So harsh. If we went by BL, we'd think the life expectancy in Asia was 35...enough time to get married and have a kid, but once that's done, you just die. Kind of like salmon or mayflies.

I too have lost a night's sleep worrying about clothes to wear on a date. In my case, I ended up being too groggy to be a good date. LOL. I can relate so much.

I suppose the video game doesn't have an option for it to end in a tie, does it. Humpf.

I think my biggest fear is that it will end with "If you want to know how it ends, download the video game for $24.99 to find out." LOL

Where is it airing?

Yeah. That was pretty obnoxious, though. Mainly for how long it went on. That said, I've never thought of the issue they were addressing overall that way. Usually we think of schools sending out kids to sell things to fundraise for school things. So the money basically gets returned to the school itself to offset the costs. I hadn't thought about the problem of coming up with ways to have children earn money while attending school so that their parents wouldn't need to pull them to earn money for the family. I don't know whether that's the right solution to that problem, and definitely not making them sell that soap, but its a problem I hadn't thought about before.

Maybe Sakkhee's best goons died in that fire last week and these were the untested reserve goons that he picked up at the GoonsRUs discount store.

Yeah. Sky's inability to see why exactly Sun wouldn't want to just come out and go "yay! let's be boyfriends and I'll be your bodyguard, too." is very selfish. "What could possibly go wrong? So what if your dad finds out? He's such a nice guy and doesn't have henchmen or anything I'd be worried about. Plus as an orphan, I really would have nothing to lose and lots of places to go were he to fire me and chuck me out of the mob. So yeah. I love you."

Appreciate the turn the series took towards some social realism. Usually in these BL dramas, its set up so that every peer the couple meets supports the relationship unless they are a potential girlfriend or a parent. That's not how it works. Not everyone is a fujoshi by the time they are 15 in high school. "I thought he was nice, but he's gay so now I'm not sure." Yeah, fuck off, kid. But still I'm glad the series isn't so fluffy that that opinion isn't expressed by anyone younger than 50.

I thought TK was kind of harsh on DaOn, but he's also right that DaOn basically abandoned him and hid. TK is part of the scandal, too and people are talking about him, too. DaOn could have at least sent a text.

Namgoong needs to become a small town police detective in a spin-off series. In a darker country, he'd probably be pegged to be in the secret police. "So, you're basically behaving like someone who is guilty of something. Care to confess now or shall we continue this interrogation?" I like how he's sucking down his drink through a straw with his pinky pointing straight up. For some reason it makes him look very subtly unnerving as he gets to the bottom of things. For the love of God, writers. DO NOT PAIR HIM WITH HER.

Of course if the goal is to tie the big bad gangster to a murder, Khet should probably just arrange for Din to get killed somewhere while Dan records the planning and the deed to get incontrovertible proof. I mean, he's already pretty much a dead man walking for "hiding out" in about the 2nd place they'd go to look for him. Sorry Din, but it's time for you to take one for the greater good of Northeast Thailand. May God have mercy on your soul. RIP

Ok. I think my rank order is this

1) Din 34 points
2) Than 26 points
3) Mongkorn 25 points
4) Khet 22.75 points
5) Dan 22.5 points
6) Teacher 21.9 points

I am now curious about taking black dragon pills.

I don’t want to slag on this series too much, but no one responds to situations the way humans respond. It’s ok as long as we get a few more fleshy shower scenes. Like it’ll turn out that this soap excels at getting blood out of hair, so they’ll be all lathering up in the shower after next week’s mass killing.

Yep. I hope he works on his acting. He’s got a great face and the type of body where he’ll have a perfect form even if he just goes to the gym 15 minutes a week.

Yeah. He also confessed before and it went poorly. Not only was he rejected, he’s still being bullied four years later.

It doesn’t help that TK will interrupt him and tell him what TK thinks he’s thinking. For a guy who seldom speaks, TK constantly talks over people and finishes their thoughts for them.

I’m a little jealous of the actor who plays Director Mai Zheng Xiong. Shows up in ep. 10. Gets to have love scenes with both hot leads, and turns out to be the hero of the story. This is like that coworker who shows up every day at 2:00pm but gets the promotion and the largest year end bonus.

He said he was looking for a girlfriend, but did he spend time with any girls except Soo He? He was keeping the seat on the bus open for someone and was very happy when Shin woo was going to sit next to him. Its just a thought.

O.K. after ep 10, I don't see Namgoong getting together with So Hee. Was worried that they were going with that. But I think he actually looks down on her too much to end up with her. Thank God.

That said, he does love someone or he wouldn't have been going to teacher Seo with his unrequited love problems. I wonder who it is? I'm thinking it is Shin Woo.

Maybe the teacher couldn't be found because he was busy watching some other boys sleeping.

So Hee only ends up with Shi Woon only because the law of land dictates that every one of the boys must be paired up by the end or the story is somehow incomplete. Shi Woon is a good boy, but I won't feel sad at all if at the end of the story, he's still single. Why writers do this is beyond me.

The subber has the easiest subbing job ever. No one ever talks over another character and they always pause before speaking. This would also be a good series for someone who was learning Korean at Level II. It plays like a lot of dialog we used to get on tapes to listen to in language classes.
