I think Sui has just worked so hard on seeming non-threatening to the homophobes that he's slipped into more child-like behavior. I share your hope about his growing confidence.

Just watched the first two eps and my heart broke for Sui. I was near tears so many times. It's amazing how much emotion was packed into a total of 50 min. I really hope the quality continues, though I'm not too worried. When a Japanese bl starts off strong, it rarely disapoints.

Hopefully we'll see real redemption for all by the end, and not just the script telling us it happened.

How are Krit and Mochi unlikeable? Rin is the ass for ignoring his boyfriend's feelings for so long. I don't think Krit intended to break up on Rin's bday, but he just couldn't take it anymore. Rin bought his own gifts just to look good for content instead of caring what his bf got him... even hiding the single rose and small cake so no one would see it. I would've broken up with him too.
After all of that, Krit then agreed with Mochi to pretend they were dating so that Rin would finally understand that he's been trying to break up for a while... and at the same time Krit was willing to be the bad guy.

Don't mess with me, Jane. I'm already way too willing to overlook all the red flags 😔

The rule is the same: don't be too emotional... coming from the one that is the MOST emotional. sigh
I'm so hooked. Friday is so far away and they know exactly how to end each ep so that I'm climbing the walls when the next comes around. I wanted to wait until it was over to read the novel, but I may not last that long...

I liked the first ep more than I thought I would. It's cute and funny. I think, again, us non-Thai speakers are missing out on a lot of the humor.
I'm so happy to see Ohm and Gems 🥰

There were so many nc scenes. NC doesn't mean actual sex. It means not for children because of sex scenes or even just physical intimacy. We saw lots of tongue, grinding, grabbing, spanking, etc. And the level of innuendo was off the charts. Def not for children.

I already miss them 🥰 I smiled through the entire final episode.
This series didn't show a lot with nc scenes, but honestly they left less to the imagination than most BLs. I didn't feel like I was missing anything, and sometimes I felt like I was watching private things that I shouldn't 😂
I want to give a special award to Erng for being the tiniest, prettiest princess of all! (even if he can kick over banana trees)

"My boyfriend is a bit weird. But he's cute."
Then I get a wink!!?? Does that mean all of Intha's crazy posing/mugging was actually for... the viewers... that he knows are watching? 🤣

I thought that about Taeson when he said to shut the door and Chaeha asked why when only Sung was in the office

I thought maybe there was something between him and the big boss, Tak Seongung, before he spilled the drink on Chaeha. He's scared of him or...?

Well, he'll still be a dick 😂 but I agree. He can't seem to hide much when it comes to Chaeha.

Ohhh that makes sense too 😅 Thanks!

After what Chaeha did for Taeseon in ep 5, there may be a shift from them being on equal footing (disregarding senior/junior job roles) to Chaeha being more in control. Taeson's feelings are confusing him and his emotions are very close to the surface. The other now seems like the calm, logical person in the relationship. And Chaeha is so observant that he misses nothing.

I haven't read the novel so I could be way off base but regarding the power dynamics...

At the end of ep 2, the sexual tension rises over the over the shared icecream spoon and then Chaeha jumps up and grabs Taeson's arm when he thinks he's leaving because he doesn't want him to go. The kiss was violent but so was Chaeha's response... both in biting back + his response at the beginning of ep 3. This is when they really start looking like equals to me.
And my comment about Chaeha not being submissive was in reply to you saying that he was in your 2nd comment of this thread.

Suffocate? He first covered his eyes because he didn't want to be seen by Chaeha and then he covered his mouth because he didn't want to hear his moans. Unless there is more in the novel that I don't know about?
(editing this to put behind a spoiler tag because I know now that we're talking about diff episodes) See newer comments.

I don't see Chaeha as submissive. He's actually pretty tough and pushes back on Taeseon while trying to respect his seniority. He doesn't flinch when Taeson gets close. At the most he looks surprised but always stands his ground and asks questions. Taeson hasn't done anything Chaeha didn't want. He even questions if he's a pervert for liking it (but doesn't agonize over it).
The things Taeson says as the two interract personally are blunt and aggressive, but he's up-front about everything.

I don't understand all the comments about this having no plot. If you scroll up, you'll clearly see that the plot is: "As the two work and live together at ChermChey bar, with alcohol loosening their hearts and everyday care drawing them closer, they gradually go from strangers to becoming the person each wants to protect most."
There's no mention of love triangles, kidnapping, childhood trauma, etc. What you see is what you get. It's slice-of-life romantic comedy with two supremely strange characters, and it's amazing. I don't get most of the Thai wordplay or jokes but I'm still laughing and smiling the entire time.
I also kinda like the love/hate response this gets... it's easy to find my people. Weirdos unite! 🥰
