I went into ChermChey with my “cultural studies brain” turned on and my “Is this good TV?” brain parked…
I love your commentary here. When Yim started at Dumundi, he was the epitome of a twink and one would have expected him to stay that way for several years. Nature had other plans and like some other young actors* he is growing up to be more masculine and muscular. Tutor on the otherhand has almost become more feminine.
This is the earliest I can find of Yim https://youtu.be/ApAl2K-6bl0?t=205, there is a reference that he had just joined the company before the video was done. Tutor apparently joined sometime after as his first music video is exactly 9 month later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBdloheozy8 Yim make a cameo at the end of the video forecasting that they will be paired.
I came here to see if MondRyu were a working pair and then realised where I had seen them before this series 🙈😅…
I created a list of GMMTV Ships last year. It had 28 current ships, inc two lesbian ships, and 14 former or one off parings. It needs to be updated with the likes of MondRyu and some others. Wow, time flies, I created it in Feb of 2025. It also has a list of GMMTV Actors with their birthdays. That list is 147 names.
I cannot with this show 😂Who buys a plane ticket, go to the airport, check in, go through security, wait at…
Who buys a plane ticket, goes through immigration, checks in for a flight, and flies all the way there just to apologize to his flight attendant crush.
It is a domestic flight. Kanit said he was working on his certification to be able to work at an airline that flies internationally. He also told Lion he was doing 4 trips which means the flights are about an hour each way.
Gay and non-practicing Catholic here who went to an all-boys Catholic school. I accepted I was not straight early…
St. Magdalene College Thailand refers to some high schools a colleges. This appears to be a small Catholic boarding high school. Not all of the kids here are going to seminary and the priesthood.
No one has mentioned Juno Tiranat Kittisattho who popped up in this episode playing Ja-O Chanon Jairakman. What a hottie, just 17 (he is one Thai actor that looks older than his age).
The cruelest thing about this show is that it almost never says THIS IS SIN out loud. It just lines things up,…
Which is exactly the moment Barth chooses. He thinks, and then he says the lost one is the one telling the truth.
It begs the question as to who is the lost one. I think Barth knows what he desires* (not Tanrak specifically, but love and friendship). To me, the lost one is Tanrak who beleives out of habit, but does not know the path he should take ,but that he is the one that tells the truth. But a couple of times now he has lied (covering for Barth's little lie that Tanrak was supposed to tell the teacher that he was joining the choir, not reporting him for going off campus twice.)
I would be curius as to what extent homsexuality was even discussed in his era at schools in Thailand like this.
* And Barth knows he likes boys. Always the question on these shows as where they start in the process. Whereas, I don't think Tanrak has even thought of the question.
I am surprised no one has commented on the fact that Tay's character name is Toto, ie. Judy Garland's dog in The Wizard of Oz. I guess you have to be of a certain age and place to really get the meaning of the reference. Toto, I guess were not in Kansas anymore.
It looked like the bullet hit Phop's elbow, or it meant to have hit Klao's side and thats what killed him? It…

What bullet. That gun would have never fired in the rain.. Also it was a one shot gun. You need to put a new ball in it, new gun powder and a new ignighter every time you use it.
First things first. The arrival scene was a bit contrived. Arriving in a yellow sports car and parking right in front of the church on what looked like a walking plaza where no one else was parking. Done with my complaints about the production.
Now on to the good stuff.
Barth is wearing a t-shirt that says Cape Cod. Some may know this place, while I suspect other won't. Cape Cod is a peninsula in Massachusetts east of Boston Mass. The t-shirt would have been a fashion statement to anyone on the east coast of the US 30 years ago. It is fun to see these references to places like this. I may very well have bought such a t-shirt when I was last on Cape Cod in 1991 (more likely bought some risqué gay shirt). There is a gay vacation mecca at the tip of Cape Cod, called Provincetown. I suspect this t-shirt may be from PAof's closet from a trip he took to P-Town.
Now the kicker, a meteorite landed this weekend in Cape Cod Bay. Was someone sending a message?
The time skip was confusing for more reasons the noted here. First they were seniors in High school, 17 or 18 in 1996. 30 years later they will be 47 or 48. Catholic Seminary in America is more like 8 to 9 years. Anglican/Episcopal seminary is 3 years after standard college degree. I think it is a slight timing error for them to refer to a 10 year journey. Unless Tanrak took a break and came back to complete his studies and is now being ordained, I don't think it is Tanrak being ordained. Furthermore, the Catholic Church does not ordain openly gay people.
I disagree! Although Yim has soft-looking facial features, he's not actually that small - he's roughly the same…
There is no way Yim has a 26 inch waist.
The problem here stems from the first impressions of Yim went he started with Dumundi. He had 20 years old and had not fully grown, although he was typecast as if he had. He has grown some and filled out and is is now a twunky guy that could play either acting role in a relationship.
This has happened with a couple of other actors who started young. Barcode was just a demur boy in KinnPorsche, but look at him now. He has certianally grown up and could play top roles if they wanted him to.
I just watched the first three episodes. Not perfect but getting better. Was the guy in the first scene of the show, Sila or just some other random hookup? He and Sila in their NC scenes ad the same fingers. The "ghost" also had the same fingers.
This is the earliest I can find of Yim https://youtu.be/ApAl2K-6bl0?t=205, there is a reference that he had just joined the company before the video was done.

I love this show and I love them both.

And why the sudden rain storm?

We will just have to watch and wait.
