Not a Robot

It was also sweet that Thi slept on the floor too. I thought it was really cute how that dog walked by during the fantasy sequence. This series is just too much. I really love it.

It's hilarious because Noey already thinks that Thi likes him, Thi does sort of like Noey, but he hasn't figured it out. I also think that Pam is very cute, and I loved that O went over there and whisked Pam away. I already knew that Pam and O liked each other, even when O set Pam up.

It was published in 2010. The main characters tend to argue a lot in the series, until the tsundere figures out his feelings. This is a multi-volume series, and Japanese shows tend to only be 8 episodes.

I'm shocked that more international viewers are not watching! I was worried that Thai viewers were not watching because it's such a slow burn, and it's the Thai fans who will propel the popularity of the actors. This series is such a gem, I can't believe that it isn't number 1 worldwide.

Noey is making progress, but he still has pull Thi by the arm. haha. I don't think I can hold back after seeing how cute Noey and Thi are when they're sweet to each other. I agree, this episode was cute and funny!

I wonder why they changed the outro during the the end credits. Is that because the focus is going to shift?

Thank you! Yes, this helps.

I didn't even think of the Fonz. You make a great comparison. He was always polite to Mrs. C. and Joanie.

Not dumb-funny guys, but guys who got into fights, committed crime, ran the streets, went to jail, but could be funny and caring toward the girls and women in the neighborhood.

I now understand what you mean by progression, and where you're coming from. I want to see their relationship turn more romantic, right now(!) but these guys make me laugh out loud every week, unlike most things I've watched recently. People on this board said there will be a second male lead coming, maybe he will push them to act.

I get you, I dropped Papa and Daddy 2 and haven't looked back, including that MDL board.

I figured that maybe a different perspective would help them look at the story differently. I decided not to finish 180 Degree Longitude Passes Through Us after episode 6 because I hated both Mol and In for hurting a lovely person like Wang, with their emotional baggage. I just didn't want to keep watching them hurt him. Other viewers encouraged me to finish, so I did, and I'm glad that I did.

I'm afraid to watch because this is an OG manga. I'm afraid there will be too much bickering since Japanese BL series are so short.

I love Thi. He is a person who is terrified, but has real courage when it counts. It's kind of like cat courage, where they run away and hide with new people, but if a dog is attacking their family member, they will run out and attack the dog.

I see a lot of progress with both Noey and Thi. It is a slow burn, but Noey's behavior is even surprising his "lieutenant" in the gang, as seen when he questioned Noey about making Thi a part of the gang. Thi is still afraid of Noey, but he stood up to him over the homework. Yet Noey finds ways to spend time with Thi. The beauty of this series is the subtlety in the changes. Plus I enjoy the farce and camp elements. It just hit me that I grew up around a lot of men like Noey, so maybe that's why I see the progression.

I see a lot of growth in the characters. Noey is actually going out of his way to spend time with Thi and in a strange way, starting to court him, with the ice cream, waiting for him after the ordination ceremony. Even Noey's sister is seeing some change. Thi, even though he is still scared of Noey, is breaking out of his comfort zone. He danced at the temple, then stood his ground with Noey about doing the homework, even when his friends were like, "let's go." Admittedly this is a slow burn, but this is also a comedic farce, with elements of camp, both of which I enjoy. Just like Noey and Thi, the viewer has to read between the lines. Not all progress is overt, even in real life. This show may not may not be for everyone, which is fine too.

Ben doesn't bother me because unless I'm mistaken, he will be with Chopper. Chimon and Perth have a series coming up. The Ben character is like a mosquito or fly right now.

Noey likes Thi, he just doesn't realize that he doesn't love Pam yet. The amount of attention Noey shows Thi is not normal for a high schooler. He waited for him after the ordination ceremony, gave him the name Watphlu, and conspired to steal temple slippers with him. These guys are both a little slow (as in dumb) when it comes to love. I'm dumb too because I love these guys.

It was "appropriated" by the Nazis who bastardized it. People who know that it is a Buddhist symbol would not fear it, just like others would not fear a crucifix, or Day of the Dead skulls, even though they have the potential to look scary to people not familiar with them. The behavior of the fortune teller was startling to me, now I want to know why she wouldn't even talk to him.

I don't hate him because he is going to be Chopper's boyfriend. Not a threat. I hope they explain why Ben is mad at Chopper soon.
