You are absolutely right. Also, we may be more direct in Western cultures, but in the West there is much more of a culture of respect for elders, so it's totally understandable that Thi doesn't make a spectacle of himself against his parents. Even more so considering Thi's shy personality. And yet, Thi has continued to stand by Noey's side, neither avoiding him nor preventing them from continuing to see each other. Thi does not want to force his parents to accept Noey, but to let Noey prove that he is good for Thi in his parents' eyes. Which seems totally right to me. If we put ourselves in the situation of Thi's parents, what parents would want their son to date a bully with wounds on his face who is not even good at studying ? Obviously Thi's parents don't know what Noey is like beyond appearances, so it's normal for them to act this overprotective, although they clearly didn't have the right to treat Noey's mother this way. In that respect they did not act well, but you get their point in the above.

At this point, I'm beginning to think that this series is very underrated ! This episode was a total shift in perspective from comedy to drama.

I've never liked BLs of supposed "comedy" (The Shipper, i'm talking about you), because they've always given me quite a bit of cringe. But this one, for some reason, didn't give me that uncomfortable feeling to watch. It's true that sometimes it's a bit weird (e.g.: Thi's way of acting), but at the end of the episode I'm always left with a good taste in my mouth, it's weird. Maybe you and I have different tastes, but I recommend you to give it a chance and don't put too demanding expectations, just watch the series with good eyes and without prejudices, you might end up liking it :)))))

I adored this episode.

I've seen practically every BL in existence but I've never cried with any of them. And I wasn't expecting it to be this series that made me cry for the first time.

I was really annoyed by the attitude of Thi's parents, because it's true that Noey hasn't been on his best behavior, but deep down he's a good guy who cares about his family, his people and Thi. The fact that Noey cooks for Thi's parents, even though he is terrible at it, is a great act of love (for Thi). Also, he's always at the temple and is a boy who in that respect is a hard worker, even if he's not at school. Noey has his good parts, which only his family and Thi know about.

I found the scene where Thi tells Noey that he will be leaving back to his hometown very tender, and unlike what Thi thought, Noey responded very maturely to the situation. Then when he asks to see him one last time before he leaves, you can see how in love Noey is with Thi. So when in the next scene Thi tells him that his parents will come to pick him up.... Noey understands that it's best if he doesn't go to say goodbye to Thi (Noey would do it anyway, even though Thi's parents look down on him, but he doesn't want to cause trouble for Thi). Noey then replies that it is better, because he "doesn't like to get up early". In this episode Noey has a very mature demeanor, no longer focusing only on his needs, but thinking a lot about Thi and how not to make him feel bad. That scene is the one that made me cry.

The end of the chapter gave me goosebumps, I didn't expect at all that Noey would use the excuse of "thanks for acting like Pam, now I'll go back to flirt with her", the look on Thi's face broke my heart. Noey knows that there are a lot of things against him and Thi being together, including him being considered a bad boy in his parents' eyes, and he's resorted to that excuse because he knows in the long run it's the one that will cause the least trouble for Thi, despite the fact that he'll be crushed.

AND I'M NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT THE ENDING SCENE WHERE THI IS DANCING ALONE OMG IM BROKEN

Now I feel pretty much as confused as before hahaha but OMG the angst I will cry with this show 😭

I HATE THIS SHOW because seeing Tinn and Gun all lovely dovey makes me feel so alone, I need what they have pretty please 😭😭😭🧡

Those two were just bros chilling lmaooo

I need someone to make me a scheme because i understood nothing hshshs

K ! I'm gonna do that then, tnx <3

NLMG has normal 18 year olds who have a toxic relationship based on the ego of one who exerts dominance over the other, who is in love and sees no further. Honey, get that "normal relationship" thing looked at.

About MSP, what mental problem do you have ? Do you only watch series for the sex and not for the development of the characters ? I recommend p*rnhub if you are so desperate.

Also, that they behave as if they were 13 years old? I understand that you are the type of person who only watches BL for the fetish of seeing men having sex, so your arguments are pretty poor.

Well, I prefer a clichéd but well-done plot to a poorly structured complex plot attempt full of plot holes, which is only held together by good visuals and a couple of forced kisses, like NLMG.

The scriptwriter forgot about previous episode xd

I think the dislike comes precisely because in recent years many series with good plots are coming out (e.g.: Not Me, KinnPorsche, Bad Buddy...), so the standards have changed, and we are no longer looking for a series that is limited to fanservice, but that has something more content.

LMAO it's so sad that you rate a show in terms of "kiss or no kiss" instead of the plot. Yeah, MSP maybe has a simple plot, but it has sense and it's not forced as in NLMG.

Is this show worth watching ?

Honestly at this point I'm only watching this show so I have something to watch while waiting for MSP on friday

That's the same I was thinking; if Noey only wants to change because of Thi (that's what we have seen through the episodes), then the change won't last and also, no one should change who they are for someone else. But this episode, with Noey's mom and sister getting hurt because of him and also his mom's flashbacks... we can see that Noey's change was always needed, for the better of his future and his family. So as you say, this was never about Thi, Thi is just someone who made Noey start to think about the change, but it is his love for his family that will make him take the decision of leaving the thug life. And I think that this was portrayed so well in the series.

Do you have any link for the latest ep with eng subs ??

I get your point, love at first sight, but as "you can't love someone just because they are nice to you"... Why would you love someone that always treated you bad ? That's pretty toxic
