EP02: I started wondering if the whole investigation is actually a test... but maybe not.
"Master Phaya" looked like [cartoon] Ariel/Little Mermaid when she called him 🤭 I was expecting him to sing: 🎵I don't know when, I don't know how, but I know something starting right now. Watch and you'll see, some day I'll be part of your world! 🎵 🤣
I must say that "evil jellyfish" going from 0 to 100 in some scenes is an "interesting" development (like the zipper in EP01, "bolster" - this includes getting phone number, toilet).
Yai = Cupid? 🤔

JimmySea (MhokDay) and FirstKaho (AkkAyan, AlanGaipa or SandRay - the way Ray was looking at Sand I was surprised that he was able to say no at all 🤭) not on your list?

I honestly am not feeling that great chemistry from ForceBook. They were cute in A Boss and a Babe but quickly it went back to Force being broody and Book a bit annoying (I liked ZeeThree more). It was better in Only Friend's but they have not wowed me. In Enchanté it was hard to distinguish between the two because their hairstyle and clothes were so similar (I dropped it and only watched again when I saw that Jimmy has gues role - I like his voice so much!).

As for SeanWhite, I think you mean OffGun. Gun can have great chemistry with a wall and the way he portrayed White or Black (and them pretending to be eachother) was simply great (Zee and Sprite started as distinguishable but at some point were to similar, so I was not sure which one is doing what - no such issue with Black or White). He is one of the best GMM has. Off... he was definitely better in Not Me than before or since (Cooking Crush is such a step down IMO... especially for Gun) - I am not a fan.

EP01 behind me and I liked it.

As usual it was hard for me to figure out who is whom. Luckily Yai has biceps like my thighs, Than has mole on his eye's waterline. Chat had distinctive cheekbones and lighter colour of hair. If you were to ask me which BF is which I would not know (is it the same one always saying "baby" or do both of them do it?). I cannot recognise Phaya most of the time and especially when he wears his baseball cap or has hair slicked back (except when he wears shirt with 126) - there are just to many similarly looking guys.

Cold-tub: there were there for hours... how did they relieved themselves (they had no time for bathroom in the morning)? 🤔 Additionally: "Get naked!" - still wearing baseball caps 😂
And there are so many blurred buts 👀

Another thing - the simulation: if something were to happen (like one kills or severely wounds another on purpose) - wouldn't that person be responsible (like go to jail or something)? They are to be police officers (seeing IDF was shocking for a moment and then 💡 - I 🤦‍♀️ myself for a long time), so wouldn't that (criminal record) immediately disqualify? 🤔

I like how Yai is fine (and not just fine - encouraging) with his bestie and other guys being gay. We stan good, supporting BFF! He went a bit overboard with the sketch... but all is fair in love?

The beach/water accidental fall gave me Kiss Me Again flashbacks 🤭
Let's continue the journey ⛵

EP01, 1st scene, subtitles: (Exciting sound) 💀 (the music wasn't even that "exciting" at that point 😂)

I don't seem to have luck with start of BLs recently. 1st was PitBabe where drivers senses are so heightened that they feel sound wave of the cars while they are making out in the changing room. Then there was The Whisperer where the car accident was just bad (it still won't be as "tragic" as from one of series in my country where guy drove into cardboard boxes and died 🤦‍♀️) but then guy was jealous of BF's niece (yeah, little child is crying, so uncle wanting to check on her is such a inconvenience 🙄) and the making out was lacking chemistry.
I usually can at least get past EP01 (like in Dead Friend Forever - I am not fan of horror and some of the characters were annoying me but I plan to return - during daylight 😀 - to it).

Rant over - let's continue and hopefully get past EP01.

I am trying to get past EP01 (I am stuck at like 12min - 1st "break"). At first I was like, I know Khun! Cinematography in My Ride was better 😔 (let's forget that car accident sequence... forever!)
Then Tao started getting jealous of a little girl (Khun's niece, I presume) and I was like: bye, girl! The house belonged to brother, right? If they sell it they would cover brothers debt, so it's normal to use at least portion of the remaining money for the girl...
I don't feel chemistry between Tao and Khun even when they are making out... I even started suspecting that Tao might be a ghost, figment of Khun's imagination or zombie (I know that the work scene contradicts it).
I think I need to brace myself a lot for this one (not only due to it being horror genere, which I am not fan of). Perhaps it will remain in my dropped...

I'm on EP04 and the whole looks thing is annoying me. She looked cute in the glasses. He was a bit dorky but handsome nonetheless (if there are no health contraindications with his money he could easily get Lasik-type of surgery instead of contacts but that's beside the point). If one selects the frames correctly it can make them look even better and from my experience contact lenses are simply a pain in the "3-letters" (I remember struggling for 45min to put one... without success and I know of a person who had issue with retina due to it).
Yes, cutting her hair made her look lighter but it was also due to wrong hairdo.
Clothes are more form-fitted and she has good figure, so they accentuates it more.
Here her no-yet-ex-BF is right: she was alway pretty. She just needed a little help to show off.
It wasn't transformation like in Princes Daries (novel version) 🤦‍♀️

I also don't get why ML was so startled seeing FL in office. He saw her the day before (so right after her "transformation") looking even more stunning and didn't bat an eye.
Why all misogynist managers just look like sleezbags?

Are "human" elevators in KR really this big or are they cramming in much over the limit? 🤔

Are fried-chicken guys BLing? 🤭

I binged it and liked it a lot.
Transmigration is so common in CH novels that I was pleasantly surprised to see it in KR series 🥰

Continuity! In EP02 they are sitting on a bench in front of the snack shop and when the camera is filming from behind (or front: left or right doesn't matter) you can see that the shirt is off his left shoulder but when it's from the left side - shirt collar is around his neck. His hairdo in that scen, through 😂
The rescue scene was so romantic 😂 - is this Harem type of game? 😉
EP04 Harem seems to be confirmed 🤭 😉
EP05 the girl's radar is still spot on! 👏 I would have liked for the older bro (ditch long-distance) and friend to get together...
EP08 can they stay further apart while kissing? 🙄
I am surprised that the picture with him only showing back of his head was not used in "who are you talking about?".
I hoped that the ending would be for him to be "fished out", so that how they all meet and become friends.

All in all it was cute.

Not IMO + they are funny. I actually like their scenes but I get if somebody is not interested.

About everything or just portion? Like my ghost ship? 😉

Do they both have to have the same issue for it to count? Wen if from fairly well to do family but Jim isn't. Does that mean that 1st couple doesn't have issues due to poverty?
I am not saying that Jim hasn't suffered but let's not start contest who had it worst as nobody had it great (including Leng and his GF) and just because somebody's life wasn't totally wreaked his pain should be disregarded.

Liming has no issues with poverty? He is still a teenager working at his uncle's shop with practically no perspectives. His word is considered less just because of his status (his "half" to pay was bigger!). Work and travel might be actually cheaper than attending university (like Jim wanted him to do). His own mother dropped him due to money issues but sure - he doesn't know what poverty is 🙄
You wrote that the issues of the 2nd couple doesn't match and a few sentences later you wrote that Heart does have issues with deafness... but they are not directly Liming's, so again the logic is that if it's not issue for both then it is for none? Just because Liming accepts and treats Heart like regular human doesn't mean that so is the world - seeing somebody you love being hurt and not being able to effectively help is not easy and can lead to friction (if you watched Last Twilight then the subject was touched in several EPs: "pity").

I haven't replied to all of the points but my it's already long so I would just end with: yes, Jim and Wen play their role in the series. It doesn't mean that I have to like their characters or find them fascinating (real life can be boring and/or actors might not be up to the roles they were given).
If you like them and/or find them interesting - great. If not - great as well.

So... Thankfully it was 5x 30mon and 1x 50min as it was full of unnecessary stuff, so at least I haven't wasted more time.
I hope that big bro gets his faen. He deserved better (was basically green flag) but was constantly vilified by Night 🙄
I still don't see what the big hallo is with Night 😒

Especially in last EP I took notice to the music and there were few guitar notest that sounded suspiciously like "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga... 👀

I'm on EP05 and am like: she knew? Why was she acting like that at the beach to be totally fine with it + encouraging it in the uni?
Side note: girl you asked him 5 years ago. If he cannot give you a clear answer within a year that should be sign to you 🤦‍♀️

Was Dream delulu or have they actually kissed after dressing up the wound? The editing it so confusing at times.

So far I am not fan of Night. What is so great about him?
Dream is cute, though 🥰

I liked how real Dy was with Fire in the dining room. He told him his story, so that he knows possible outcomes. His story wasn't even that soul crushing as many lived trough but it's nice that the series touches the issue and not just: "everyone is fine with everything".

If I was Samsi I would have questioned the friendship as well. It's fine if your friends have partners and want to spend time with them. What is wrong is to make plans and then either be totally absent-minded or ghosting (Prem was the worst with confirming and 5 seconds later totally forgetting) - plans change but is it such a high bar to let others know?

I think from all characters I like Samsi and Metha the most. They are often used as a butt of a joke but they are true friends (Metha was helping Fire to "find himself", covering for Fire in front of his mom, helped Samsi to find his wallet, was encouraging Tan and so much more "minor stuff"). They should get together (romantically or not - I don't care) and ditch the others!

I agree mostly but with Mhok - after getting out of jail he got some bad luck but still was calm and collected. He knew how to swallow his pride and I guess it was like that with Day - Day was really mean or insensitive to him for a lot of the series. I won't even mention mother's behaviour 😒. Only Night was treating him with respect. That is all to say that he was quite used to that kind of treatment.
On the positive note: at least he was supportive of Mhok's career (even though he was constantly dissing his "creations"...): was teaching him trade secrets and used mom to encourage him (at the end of EP12).
One of the commentators mentioned that better ending would have been if it was Day who went after Mhok and asked for 2nd chance. I would have preferred that as well but at least Mhok started to shave 😉

I can't with Mhok's clothes for the weddings - on Aon's wedding he looked a tad underdressed but for the last one... that jacket? Wasn't he picking up the suit as well (not green one 😉)?

Last EP rushed over so many things - like Mhok's life there or the whole confession he made about Rung in EP11. We got a lot about Day's development but not much about others.
I was also not thrilled about Mhok still doing the constant chase (except one situation). Even when they are together it looks like Day keeps his guard up about his feelings and either is a bit rude/mean or "and you?" or refuses to answer. Mhok is constantly reaffirming Day about his feelings and gets crumbs back. Maybe it works for some couples...
Also the whole issue they had. Was it really pity? If I returned to the room and the person was missing for no apparent reason but phone was left, I would be worried, add to that that he did not know about "surprise", so how could Day disappear? Did Mhok really needed to take that specific job? He was apparently quite good already and theoretically could find local job (as he did after return - he wasn't the owner of that restaurant).

That being said I enjoyed the series a lot. Both Sea and Jimmy did phenomenal job. I am hoping for more ambitious series from GMM. Perhaps they could dabble in different genre? SF? Criminal (they could adapt CH BL novels that cannot be done in CH... perhaps continuation of Justice in the Dark)?

Now GMM allows pre-order of the series but pre-order of the slippers is long closed (with no info if they are going to be even available later). Have some mercy on the shipping costs for the international fans 🥲

It doesn't work like that. Check in is 1st step. Then they mark you as present during boarding. Then flight attendants check if the boarding number is correct. If it is then no passenger is missing. What Mhok could have done is cancel his check in and he might have cancelled or rebooked his flight - then there would be no missing passenger. Mhok was having only carry-on, so no issue to cancel his check in (he would loose money though - remember to rebook/cancel your flight more than 3h before departure to avoide no-show fee 😉).

I think he got 2nd after 3 years. His 1st was while she was still pregnant and they split up after the birth. His 2nd was after Mhok returned (and he was there for just a few days), so at most I would say 3,5 years between them.
Perhaps the issue is with amount of donors? In some countries you have to "opt out" of being a donor and in some you have to "sign in". I don't know how much need is for this type of transplant in Thailand - perhaps they are more prone to cornea's issues and there is not much to "go around" (like for example in Noth Korea they have a lot of catharsis cases due to malnutrition)? If you recall Day was visually impaired for over a year before he got the 1st. Then again they might not do the transplant is there is still some vision... If that was true then his 1st was quite fast.

She sounds totally different to me in both series. I was even wondering if it's actually her because of it.

Yes!
Just let her use her voice as in this series. Her voice in Only Friends was grating my nerves.

While I agree with some parts I disagree with Top being worst.

You wrote that he was clear with his partner's about what he was willing to give them. That is true to a point with most of them. Not true with Nick. Even at the beginning he was "leveling up" his status. He allowed them to have pictures together even thought it was supposed to be hard no for him due to his dad. When they "got back together" he was doing "boyfriend experience"... up to the point of Boeing.
On this point Top was not clear what he wanted from Mew from the start. The question is if he actually knew what he wanted? Seeing as he usually dates them for like 3 months and not just "nail and bail" he wasn't exactly lying or giving too much of a false hope.

Top x Boston.
Here Top is trash for seeing a picture from years back and thinking that it somehow gives him "hall pass" for cheating 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
Boston on the other hand not only was after a taken guy but after his friend's BF. This actually the worst part for me - Mew was his friend and he still did it with premeditation. Let's add to that that he was usually doing one night stands but here he wanted to do it again just because Mew was interested? And then he was still after Top even when he told him to leave him alone.

So at this point in my reply both were cheaters (Boston with Boeing). Let's go to another aspect - Mew x Ray.
Top caught Ray and Sand but did not expose them to Mew. This is good and bad in my opinion. Yes, Mew had a right to know but this would seem like revenge. I also think that Top did it in a bit more mature way - told Ray that they are no different and told Mew to make sure that Ray loves him. It was by no means perfect but considering how it was between them it might have been the only path.
Boston on the other hand took secret pictures of Mew and Ray kissing. Never told them, used them to put wedge between Mew and Top + to hurt Ray and Sand. At that point there was no animosity between Boston and Ray or Sand but he still steered the conversation to make the most damage. Again I agree that Sand should know about Ray's feelings towards Mew but it could have been done differently (like talking to Ray that he should be honest or telling Sand privately and more delicately).

With Cheum.
Top was mostly groveling to her and rescued her once.
Boston on the other hand slept with her brother. This is not so bad as they are both adults but I think that Boston might have taken advantage of vulnerable moment. I am not judging him harshly on this one - they were consenting adults.
This however is just another example of him not caring for his friends. One can say that Ray is ambivalent towards his friends (except Mew) but he is not outright lashing out at them and doing bad things to them for no reason (again - except Mew).

To sum it up: for me they are both trash and I wouldn't want my worst enemy to fall in love in someone like them (at least Top tried to be better and not repeat his mistakes + was repenting... Is that going to stick? I think Ray better fortify the car 😉).

In this whole show the only person who was not at some point sh*tty to another was April, I think (they never showed Cheum apologising to Boston).
