So true! Like Pisaeng knows he has feelings for Kawi, and he has told that to Kawi, but he doesn't want to push it more or harder but just wait it out, go with the flow, and let it blossom and develop more as it goes. He truly is an exceptional character, I feel like he is also searching for a reason why he likes Kawi apart from being just "cute". Because I think he hasn't realized, that he likes Kawi's individuality, how he can sing bravely in the first year, how he can pursue Pearmai with stubbornness, how Kawi is so forthright, and just how Kawi is so different from everything he knows. He wants Kawi, but not in a destructive, forceful way but rather in a soft want, and desire which he shows so beautifully. He really is like a Jane Austen hero.

Yeah, but I wish GMMTV and other production companies would be a little brave and just do random pairings. Because the whole new bunch of these unexpected ones like PerthChimon, GawinFirst, GawinKrist, KhaotungFirst were so out of the blue, BUT all amazing. (Even in "Not Me" which I love a lot, I could absolutely envision Gun pairing up with Mond or Sing, and it actually felt really intense and good). So yeah, I just want GMMTV and others to start experimenting a little.

Or they can both go on to become great actors having amazing chemistry with whoever their co-actors are, regardless of a permanent cp. I would love, love, BL actors who show their acting skills and continue to deliver outstanding performances outside of the norms of not having a permanent or fixed cp.

Kawi in all his rude glory is Pisaeng's sudden-onset-manic pixie dream boy like Lizzie Bennett. And Pisaeng is the gentlemanly modern Regency hero- the best kind to be: all the repressed pining and jealousy and the attitude of service, like Mr. Darcy.

You can try Be My Favorite, it's really good so far.

Same here! I wanted to hold back and binge it, but from episode 4 onwards my TikTok was flooded with Pisaeng and Kawi tidbits, and I couldn't help myself!!! Now I'm suffering though waiting each week!

But if you're strong hearted, you might just wait it out, and gobble it all up at the end! Or just join the pain train, with us looking forward to every Friday!

This is AHHMAAZIIINGGGG!!!! (At least so far and I hope, fingers tightly-crossed, it doesn't suffer a second-half syndrome, CAUSE this is sooo GOOOD!!!!)

Yup. Truly, Pat is one of the most obnoxious characters I've come across.

Oh, yeah! Daddy Jeng I agree, but please no Patty son. I might just quit the family.

This should be titled "How much whining can you take?" instead of "Step By Step".

I wanna binge on this so badly!!! I wish they would just release all the episodes!!!

I don't know why but Ah Ri's character never felt fully developed. I couldn't really understand her motivations and I'm a sucker for revenge dramas, but this kind of felt off. Also, their romance was just strange!! If I saw them in real life, I would literally go 'I give them 6 months'. Like there was nothing that convinced me they were in LOVE. Infatuation may be, obsession possibly, but love? It never felt that way. Also honestly, I am confused about what the message is of this drama. Is it like every rich and famous person is an a-hole and fake on social media?? I mean, yeah, we kinda do know that nothing we see on public platforms is completely real or true!! And that SK also treats the rich, and the famous and chaebols like gods, so the whole plot is kinda flat for me.

I only thing I can say is I did like is Min Hyuk. He is a visual and Han Joon Kyung's shoe removal scene will stay with me forever as a classic! All I can say is this a strange drama, and not exactly in a good way.

So far, this has really been giving the vibe, that maybe Pisaeng and Kawi are soulmates. The subtext and undertone feel very destined for each other!✨💫

I'm sure word-of-mouth publicity will spread around soon enough, with how good this is turning out to be. I feel most of us, weren't expecting a good series, and so didn't tune in to watch. But now, I feel, once the word gets around, like actually how great and kind of spectacular this is (at least until now) viewership will rapidly rise.

Tien's first concern when he saw Lomfon kiss Tai wasn't that his crush was making out with his own brother, but his first and main concern was that Lomfon was breaking up Tai and Phat and hurting Tai in the process.
Tien is like such a perfect character!
He seriously deserves more, much, much more than this whatever-soulmate-love-triangle-hearing-in-the-rain-don'tcare-thing is going on.

Okay, but Min Hyuk needs more leading man dramas!!!! He is woefully underrated. Give my man more roles.

Unexpected random BL pairings are seriously proving to be superior! Like PerthChimon, GawinFirst, GawinKrist, KhaotungFirst and I don't know, there are probably other ones too... It's just, I feel the chemistry becomes a lot easier to achieve and more natural on screen when you are allowed to just be actors and not be forced into "shipping couples and with contractual fanservice shoved down your throat". I really hope GMMTV and other production houses continue to give us fresh pairings and allow actors to be actors without insinuating real-life romantic fantasies. Also please, can we not have permanent "couple" situations ALL THE TIME, let the actors act with other people!!!! That's what makes this so much fun!!!

Tien deserves so much more than Lomfon, and he also honestly deserves a better brother too.

The way I identify with Tien is just insane. I swear he is the one, I'm still watching this for. My man deserves better than this throuple-soulmate-bs. Also Tai gets on my nerves so bad.

You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift is so perfect for Be My Favourite:

But she wears short skirts
I wear T-shirts
She's Cheer Captain, and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
… If you could see that I'm the one
Who understands you
Been here all along
So, why can't you see?
You belong with me
You belong with me

Pisaeng to Kawi probably, all the time!
