Zee is still wearing the spiky look though. I hope he doesn't keep it.

I wonder if he did it because he's going to finally marry his girlfriend. They've been together close to a decade.

Poppy is still growing back his hair from that week of monkhood.

Just hit Google translate.

Very cute pilot, but one question. If he's the airline CEO why is he flying coach?

As far as the novel goes I found it online. I'm not even sure what language it is, doesn't look like Thai but you can click on the chapters and then hit Google translate and read it in english.

I didn't start watching this until all the episodes had dropped and quite frankly I was ready to give up on it after watching the first two. It picked up after that but then took a dive back into the hole in episode 11.

It's a BL so the whole opium trade storyline should have taken much more of a backseat and been much more tightly written than it was. I think to the extent that people had trouble with this series and dropped it was because of that.

Eventually, I found myself skipping over some of the opium trade stuff and it became much more enjoyable.

Net and JJ had really good chemistry. And Net is gorgeous to start with which is one of the things that helped me to go on with this drama.

The last episode had all of the elements but again more attention should have been paid to what happened after Phop was reunited with Nakun. They rushed the ending from arrival, to reunion, to marriage. So less emphasis on the opium trade story and more on the relationship would have made for a better story.

Somewhere between 8 and 8.5 for me.

I already watched it. I was hoping for something more light-hearted given that LUAT was anything but.

So they are going back in time for this special episode. It would have been better if they just made it part of the series.

It was common to chew betel seeds. It was considered healthy and beautiful, used by the aristocracy and wealthy not the servant class. I'm guessing that in this drama they wanted to show a little authenticity to the time but giving Net and JJ black teeth would take away from the romance not to mention their beauty.

There's a few of us.

Apple music has the worst search engine on the face of the planet. A search of Love Upon a Time only came up with a few of them. Actually six of the seven are available on Apple music. Not sure about iTunes since I have an Apple music subscription which I almost never use. The only one not available is Everlasting Dreams.

As far as NuNew goes I found that Apple music does carry him, but doesn't carry everything he sings which is why I have a YouTube premium account. But Still from LUAT is available, as is New Season which is also from this year.

Seven songs from the series have been released on YouTube and it looks like only three on Apple music. Here's the link to my YouTube music playlist and when the last song is released it will be there. BTW, I went to the end of the show to try and do a Google search on that last song and while I was there I saw that the special clip for episode 12 has been put online.

Nakun wasn't his dead friend he was a reincarnation. And he loved Phop, would have stayed with him in 1038 if it was his choice even though it was perilous to be gay during those times. He tried to hint around to Phop that he may not have a choice to stay. That's when Phop said he would find him regardless.

Klao didn't get to finish the mission. He found out who was guilty but they didn't get punished. (And I'm not sure they were actually recorded as being punished in history based on episode 12). But Phop never intended to stay in 1038. His plan was to finish the mission and then go find Nakun in the present day when he was done.

That's what episode 12 was all about. It wouldn't have really been a happy ending if they'd stayed in ancient times getting hunted down by opium traders and homophobes. In present time they got their do-over for happily ever after.

I can deal with 20 year old virgins. It's the 30-year-old virgins that Zee plays with NuNew that are weird. If he plays another one in Hug E-Lhee I'm going to throw something. 😮

I saw an interview with Net where he said he doesn't get romantically involved with his costars, so I don't think you'll see that from them

I've now finished LUAT. A major flaw for me was that the opium trading story was just too long and convoluted. And the first two episodes bored the crap out of me. Out of those three DWY is probably my favorite because it told a story without going off the rails. LUAT definitely better than Khemjira.

JimmyOhm's only BL was TNP and they had very intense chemistry, especially for first-time couple. It actually reminded me of ZeeNuNew in Cutie Pie.

I thought the chemistry between both the main leads and secondary leads in LUAT was sweet. Not lusty like ZeeNuNew in CP, TleFirstOne in Khemjira, or JimmyOhm in TNP.

I would have liked LUAT better with a tighter story on the opium trade, and more about the relationships, especially more details about how Phop time traveled to the 21st century and the reunion of Phop and Nakun. Seems that Phop just showed up in an elevator, 15 minutes later they were dating and in bed and then married. There should be more character development since this is a BL.

I found Khemjira unwatchable. I mostly fast forwarded over it and watched the few pieces of episodes that had to do with the main couple and also watched the finale.

On the other hand I'm quite enjoying LUAT. The first couple of episodes are slow but once you get through those it's pretty enjoyable. I'm on episode 9 right now.

Cutie Pie is perhaps my favorite all-time BL followed by TNP. Zeenunew's chemistry can't be beat. The closest in DMD to them was Jimmy and Ohm, which is a damned shame since they broke up. I've watched most of the DMD BL's save for Khemjira. I couldn't get over the horror / mysticism plot. It was just a big snore for me. I'll have to wait to see Keng and Namping in something else.

The black teeth are from chewing betel nuts. It was considered beautiful, and a status symbol tied to aristocratic wealth. It's kind of funny that in the series it was all of the servants who had the black teeth. DMD did their homework in that the practice was associated with the Ayutthaya Kingdom. But I guess they really couldn't have Net and JJ with ugly black teeth and expect us to look at them as a beautiful romantic couple in the modern age.

There really isn't any more story to tell. They were reunited and got married at the end.
