Not a Robot

Let's hope so. After what happened in the bedroom in the original, I can't watch that twice.

I thought that after all these years, Name's mom would know better. I kept (in my head), yelling, "say his name, say his name!'' I want to know his real name. Yelling at people with OCD, eating disorders, or depression doesn't work, but this is a drama, not real life. I'm hoping that Name doesn't shutdown, but find new friends. Em has been warned, he needs to learn the hard way.

Personally, I thought the timing was wrong, but I think that Peak didn't know when he could speak to her privately again, while someone was there to watch her mother. Even after 3 years, Peak is still young, but I feel it was more a human mistake, rather than a character flaw. If Hom did not feel the same way, she would have told him "no" when he asked to speak with her. Human beings are not always eloquent or perfect, and I love how the Peak character has been written as an actual human being throughout this series. So even if timing was a little awkward, I praise Peak for being brave and communicating clearly and honestly.

Only because we already know the end, which is tragic. I had a hard enough time getting over the first series. I wanted to see if the fans of this story found it worth the angst to the viewer.

I think that Pai was also in pain, and wanted to make Sky verbalize what is in his heart. Sky dumps him in a very rude and painful way, so when Pai reads the notebook, he is confused and doesn't understand. Sky has also put Pai through mental pain, so he is equally hurt because he does not know what he did wrong, and Sky was so mean to him. The notebook is the contradiction. Right now, Pai does not know about his past, so he is very confused as to why Sky will not open up to him. He just wants Sky back, and for him to to be honest with him. That was how I saw that scene.

As a viewer who prefers the Rain and Phayu arc much more than Sky and Praphai, I still think this is well done. I give credit to the director for not using drops, or irritating Peat's eyes to give him tears. Yes, he makes a face like he is going to cry, the tears did not come out. The media gives us the impression that only psychopaths are like that, but there are people who feel intense pain but do not shed tears. Also, Peat is a new actor, and maybe finding the motivation to cry is something he can't tap right now, or maybe it was the directing. If there is a BTS, maybe someone can say what the director told him. I felt he made up for it by his body language, how he froze when Pai was reading the notebook, how shutdown he looked. Sky was totally shut down. Sky is. someone who has been raped (not a spoiler it's been in more than one episode) so who are we, the viewers are to say how he "should" react? Would we ask rape victims why they are not crying every time they have mental pain?

I like the lead actors and they have great chemistry, but I am getting tired of the Korean trope of one person running away. Maybe that's a cultural thing. Since I don't watch K-drama, I don't have a reference point, but in most Korean BL, I skip the penultimate episode, and head straight to the final.

I actually like this series for what it is. It's good that they moved away from the 6 Moons because there has been too much drama around that. The part that led to Wayo getting pissed at Pha was in Book 3, so they are keeping some elements of the novel, along with the new characters.

Can't wait to see Fluke in another comedy, finally. He was great in that high school comedy, but the name of it escapes me.

I'm going to be disloyal to Mamoru for a minute and say that I prefer the drawing style that he switched to in order to "fit in" as a mangaka. When I read manga with that drawing style, I enjoy the ikemen, I also like moe too. Hopefully next week Mamoru will go back to his bara men with boobs, if that is what he really likes. I feel like Mamoru and Issei's auntie, and just want them to be happy.

I understand that some viewers may not like that the Tsubasa arc took a whole episode, but I think it was to show that by Issei and Mamoru encouraging each other, they can positively affect people around them, and make them feel safe too.

BL started as an offshoot from the Shoujo manga community, and these tropes were/are common in shoujo. I'm not into shoujo at all but read one manga where the boyfriend took the girlfriend shopping and spoild her the day after to make up for the the "hecticness" of the night before.
The fever wipe down in done in many cultures. Also, you'll hear some mom's say, "don't catch a cold" as well. Everyone knows that colds are from a virus, but still.

I'm hoping that that Name continues to try, like he does when he is with Em. What I love about even child Em is, he accepts and even tries to accommodate Name, but doesn't treat him like a child. Em is not co-dependent, he still went away for school, but is still there for his friend. I just hope that Name's mother wakes up before she causes too much damage.

I think most people are open to hearing another point of view if it explains why Name acts the way he does. His own mother is frustrated, so I would expect some viewers to be frustrated as well. I also know people who have one car accident (usually a major accident) who never drive again, even 20-30 years later. The mind has a very strong hold over our behaviors.

Okay, the swap meet wigs continue, but now I'm really curious about what Chompoo's secret is. I feel really bad of Name. You can see that he really wants to be a part of Em's life. He's trying, but his mom doesn't realize it.

The 1993 movie, The Piano, had a lead character who had this, and even she couldn't figure out why. It would be nice if it were as simple as just talking.

I like the unusual plot because many Asians are deathly afraid of ghosts, so to have the story's protagonist to be into the paranormal is nice. The "scary" song reminds me of the very end of "I Want You" by the Beatles.

Very well done. I did feel uncomfortable with the pseudo couple/ghost ship teacher Sani and Wat, but in my country, there is no situation where a romantic relationship would be acceptable as a high school student and teacher. I thought that First and Khaotung have great chemistry and hope they have another series.

Where this has gone astray is, that the two #8's have never met up. A hetero drama would have he same plot. If they live close enough to ride the same baht bus (I forget the Thai word for them), then they would have met as kids. The way they made Name a part of the group, they would have made room for Golf.

I am curious as to why Guns' father acts the way he does. Gun's mother doesn't even try to explain it either. I'm not sure we will every find out since the gang is moving to Bangkok. I think Mean should have just worn his normal hair, instead of that hideous wig. It seems like Thai production companies go to the swap meet to purchase wigs. Even Ja had a horrible wig in UWMA.

Totally off topic, but if they make Ghost Boy a live action, I would love to see Kim Ji Woong and Yoon Seo Bin as the leads. The sort of resemble the webtoon. This better not end like the last one either.

I know this sounds so stereotypical, but I could also see Earth in a role like Khun in Kinn Porsche, or a drag mom in a comedy-drama, like a real life of kids who get into drag, who gives humor, love and blunt truth. I have watched a lot of Earth's vlogs and he is pretty funny and sassy in real life. I would love to see some sass on the screen. I agree with you, it's time to give him more.
