Romantics Anonymous is my comfort series as it's so gentle and soothing to me.

I'd like to talk about Sosuke's leadership and management style. He is truly an ethical and compassionate individual who does the right thing. He is not solely concerned about the financial bottom line. He trusts his employees. He listens with interrupting, and he challenges without imposing his will. He is a thoughtful problem-solver. He is caring whether by providing financial support to retiring employee, tracking down a long unused recipe to bring happiness to a sick woman, or offering chocolate to a grieving widow. Yes, he is operating with a major handicap (fear of being touched or touching) and can be mildly selfish (but aren't we all at times) but that doesn't stop him from being a genuine and kind human. Finally, his love for Hana just shines.

Thanks for checking. Given the direction where the kidnapper was shooting from and the side where Shin I rang's sustained injury doesn't seem likely that he was shot. So probably something pierced him when he fell into the golfing equipment during the fight? All of the things in the series, this is what I'm fixated on!?

Ok, I watch the end of ep 12 repeatedly and I cannot figure out how/when Shin I Rang got so badly injured. Can someone shed light on his injury?

I would love to see Yang Do Gyeong's assistant (who does all the dirty work on Yang Do's behalf) quit in a blaze of glory while spilling the beans on Yang Do's ill deeds as he walks out the door. And then goes to work for Shin I Rang and Han Na Hyeon.

As a retired librarian, I so badly wanted to reach out to Sky and Dindin to tell them that there may be resources to help with Nava's health care issues and Grandma's financial woes. At the very least, check with Nabnueng to see what's available.

However, the point is that the brothers will do what's necessary to help their beloveds.

(As an aside, I love Tee's smile. It feels so genuine and the smile reaches his eyes.)

Poor grandma! Meniere's Syndrome is thought to be a build-up of fluid in the ear and can cause dizziness and nausea, among other symptoms. I suffered from what the Ask-A-Nurse felt might have been an episode once. It was g*d d*mn awful. I still suffer from Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) occasionally. There is no way to predict when BPPV bout (or Meniere's Syndrome) will occur.

Khram waged an aggressive, unrelenting pre-meditated strategic “kindness” campaign to get Dao to fall for him. That deed is deviousness personified. Cue Arthit. Whatever he is – argumentative, opinionated, amateur moocher, or unstudious – he is not deceitful. As it so happens, he’s upfront, kind, thoughtful, observant, and, most of all, a friend. His interactions with Dao are honest, open, and uncomplicated. No need for fraudulent pretenses of affection. They both are who they are, and they are clearly genuinely acceptable of/to the other.

Thanks!

A bit of TMI: My long-time, live-in partner decided to break up with me without warning. Ok, I accepted it, moved out, and moved on (like Dao, telling the ex to get out of my life). Forward a few years, the ex offered me $10,000 as he "still had issues with me" that he wanted to discuss. H*ll no. You'll be glad to know that I'm doing absolutely fine without the ex, and he never got whatever he wanted.

I may be overthinking this, but when Arthit and Dao returned from Arthit's home, they stood far apart in the elevator. When Arthit offered to drive Dao to the coffee shop later in the episode, Dao stood so close to Arthit in the elevator that they were almost touching. It's the subtleties like this that moves their relationship development forward.

As fine as Khaotung and First are, I swoon over Papang.

Ep 6, final scenes : Duang was like an eager puppy who caught the car he chased but then didn't know what to do once Qin started making his moves.

Only Friends: Dream On will air on Gagaoolala, starting Friday, February 27, 2026. (At least according to what I see on my Gagaoolala service. I'm in the United States.)

It's adorable that Phoon's friends are so delusional that Fah wouldn't notice the height difference, hair cut, the left-handed writing, and even perhaps the shoes -- despite Phoon being incognito -- when he and Phoon meet at the end of ep. 5.

FWIW:

I am a single (by choice) middle-aged person. I have been gaslit, ghosted, dumped, and divorced. I want rainbows and unicorns. I want to watch a world where there is mutual respect, trust, honesty, fidelity, fun, laughter and tears, sincerity, compassion, and empathy. If that means light and fluffy BLs, so be it.

I was also planning to visit the Rama 8 Cafe, Bangkok, as it was the backdrop of the interaction between Punlee and Klaijai in Your Sky, but, unfortunately, I didn't make it. Perhaps someday!

They may not be perfect, but they are perfect for each other.

Their smiles when they're together reach their eyes, shining with love.

Thank you for so clearly articulating what's really happening with their stories.

I don't drink alcohol and never have, so I can only image how I'd feel if I took a big swig of Sake! I can totally sympathize with Hioki about feeling a little strange. I think the poor kid is just exhausted.
