I certainly do think that it’s great that finally someone decided to make smth like this, it’s really awesome,…
Totally agree. I've been watching kdramas for more than 20 years and boy do they know how to write an "epic" love story! With a 16 episodes format no less. They take time to show the first meeting, the falling in love, the antagonist's motivations, the reunion and so on. You know why the characters can't live without each other. I wasn't even expecting kdrama writing but the 2 minutes flashback shocked me. Like, what? That's it? If I can't believe what you're trying to sell, then I can't connect with the story.
Yep. Non is a victim. People can be victims and also hurt others by their actions. None of this would have happened…
Hum no. You can't blame him for talking to his classmates and wanting to fit in. Where he fucked up is when he kept taking the abuse and didn't follow Phi's advice of changing school.
I just want to add a lot of people are disliking Non now because of what happened with the teacher but it's like…

I can feel a deus ex machina coming to save the day (Saint ? ) cause real talk, what did PhayaTharn even do to solve the mystery of their past lives and fight Dr Slowmo? At the end of the day, when you really thing about it, what was accomplished? I loved the series at first and I still think it's a good bl, ranking above many others, but objectively speaking there was a lot of spining in circles and nothing done. I think they missed some opportunities to develop the characters, flesh out their love story and give them agency in their present lives.
I'll have to read the manga to see if it's better cause tbh the series is not that good. They focus on everyone but SaharaToki. I feel no love, no chemistry between them. I understand they can't do too much because of the age gap but they went straight from Toki crushing on Sahara to Sahara reciprocating. Why, when and how? Then instead of showing us how they deal with the age gap and autority figure, they're spending time on the two brothers and now Nekoto... They're cute and supportive of each other but they could be friends or brothers for all we know. Same vibes.
Where does our babygirl White fall in to this is what I want to know LOL
I can see it. Phi & Jin are both too smart and calm to be innocent lol. Also we're not seeing Tan enough, and often the character with less screentime is the killer or his accomplice.

I don't know what to make of White. I think he's the "final girl" but I'm not sure we can trust anyone in the group. Jin seems to be the nicest to Non but I wouldn't be surprised if he turns out to be the one who hurt him the most...
What is with this misogyny where every woman appearing in a BL series is deemed annoying. SMH. Maybe it is some…
Let's not generalize. Many bls have awesome women (friends or mother figures) and they're loved: Yiwha from TWM, Premai from BMF, Som in SCOY, Ink in BB and so on. An annoying character is just that, annoying. Nothing to do with misogyny.
- Two guys could be helping Non: Heart guy & Non's brother. I think they're Phi & Tan - Non taking medicine: either he has a heart disease and he's going to have a heart attack from all this bullshit. Or, he has a mental illness, like schizophrenia or something. He had a nervous breakdown, stopped taking his meds and he's now on a killing spree.
What a stupid show in the end. If it was that easy for First to forgive Sprite they should have done that 4 or 5 episodes ago! Sprite didn't explain why he lied ("I'm sorry I lied, I was afraid of losing you..."), Zee didn't apologize for jeopardizing FirstSprite's relationship with his bitchy attitude (this wasn't even addressed). And as usual in asian series, everything is resolved nicely and cutely even though it's not earned (wtf was the parents dining scene?). 5.5/10
Are they not goint to address the age gap? I was waiting for Sahara to express some discomfort because of their ages and the fact he's a teacher... Did I miss something ?
Oh I get you point and I'm saying 3rd pov doesn't mean you leave out the whole storyline for the viewers to guess. If so we wouldn't have movies like LOTR or tv show like Desperate Housevives. The screenwriter/director chose to have Wansarut's sister tells their story this way. This is the part I'm criticizing. Why ? Phaya could have remembered it during his convo with her. She could have trigged his memories. I don't care what narrative technique was used. I'm pointing out the result: 2 minutes montage to portray such an important love story = meh, it didn't move me. I do hope we'll see the story from PhayaTharn's pov.
