Why does this room have to be toxic? Isn't the real world bad enough?

I had to drop that one so I can’t really comment

What’s bizarre to me is ... these people obviously wanted to make a gay/BL storyline yet they want to marginalize homosexuality. Sounds like they might need some therapy.

Both of them have very big careers. It may have been difficult but their talent has allowed them to become successful despite their struggles. They are both stars!

I love this series, but we need to get all the info from the series alone. Viewers should not have to read the novel unless they want to, not because there is missing information in the series. It just means the series writers did not do good enough. And again, I love this series. But it has flaws and reading the novel doesn’t fix the flaws.

I'm all for side couples. I want to see as many boys fall in love as possible. But don't wait til episode 10 to focus on their story - especially if it means that they now control more screen time than the MC. Introduce them in Ep1 and weave them into the main characters stories, so we understand how each one influences the others and how they all learn and grow by watching their friends go through similar situations. These are all supposed to be friends, and siblings and friends of siblings, so maybe put them in situations TOGETHER and let's watch multiple couples at the same time. And then rotate through all the couples A-Z so we see progress in each relationship for the entire series.

Clearly these side couples are written as separate stories - ones which might then prove which couple gets their own series. It's cost-efficient but really makes for bad story telling.

I just watched the entire episode there.

Creepy manager hitting on teen boys makes me wanna throw up.
I love you, Golf. Way to be mature! Calmly wish your lover happiness and leave to let him live his life. I know it's gonna change, but finally a mature decision from a BL character.
The student/tutor couple are great. Can't wait to see their careers thrive.
But felt like the swim teacher took advantage of his drunk student. I know he wanted it, but he was drunk, so that doesn't count as consent. Still wish the pacing and editing were better and there were less montages, but interested to see where this all ends up.

it's on youtube

Starting and ending at different points but still including most of the same scenes means I’ve seen 75% of this already. If they are only going to give us 25% new material, they should just make 4 eps for that new material so we don’t have to watch all the same stuff over again. I don’t judge a show on the novel. I judge it on the show. The show should stand on its own.

A beautiful series. Great character growth from 5 lead characters. An amazing performance from Tor. So heartfelt. I’d watch it again and again. Bring tissues!

Has any Thai BL writer ever had sex for the first time? There are so many conflicting emotions. Obviously as a genre, they typically are very chaste... too chaste... except when they SHOULD be. That should have been a chaste, let’s hug and get comfortable with each other, explore kissing maybe... but let’s stop without going all they until I figure this out scene.

Ton would be freaked out, scared, repulsed, excited, nervous, etc etc etc He would not just rip off his shirt and then ask for a second round. I remember crying myself to sleep after the first time. Who am I? What have I done? Does this make me a bad person? Do I deserve this love? Please, writers... use any of those notions to write a somewhat realistic character/scene.

Though they are all a bit old for college.

Loving it so far. Yes, some of the usual tropes but complex characters and rich relationships. Looking forward to the rest.

Why was Josh crying? His best friend confessed to him. Awkward, uncomfortable, sure. But tears? And in the middle of this (apparently) heart-breaking confession he just goes back to his computer... which somehow restarts, and is still connected to Max video despite a brown out?

Why was Migo crying so hard when he told Ram he loved him? Sure, repressed feelings might cause heightened emotions but these two have been getting closer every episode and already slept together. I didn’t buy the tears.

And wait... some of these people were pretending to be straight? Since when? I thought they were all gay from Ep 1, so this confusion about their sexuality is... confusing. That could be on me. This has been so boring I haven’t really been paying close attention.

I wish writers would learn that there are ways to impart grand themes and profound messages all within normal teen language. Stop making teens sound like PhD in poetry.

Just caught up on latest 3 eps. Some preachy, repetitive dialogue. Simon was pretty harsh and seems to think you must be a virgin to get married but hey, gay is ok. Strange dichotomy. Felt like some scenes were in the wrong place, dialogue that should have happened after came before etc. didn’t like the quick conversion from David. Felt forced and convenient. And the way Simon explained that “you don’t have to be gay” wasn’t expressed very well or in a way that would really change someone’s mind. It felt like he was just saying it to get laid. And after David is so uptight about sex, they jump right in... ummm ok. Still, I’m intrigued to see where this ends.

Anyone else think Simon is a figure of his imagination?

Well that rise to stardom was awful damn quick. What’s with all the sudden voice over thoughts?

Casting here was amazing. Those little kids look like they would actually grow up to be those adult actors.

This was fine. Not bad, not good. A bit too light on everything for my tastes. Not enough character nor conflict. I love naming the fish and what that means in the story. Neung is strong. He should get more roles. But all in all, the only reason I would recommend it is because it's 2 episodes and over before you realize it.
