Ah, I watched a 25-min version. I actually came here because I had some questions, but it seems I have watched a cut version. Four minutes can be everything in a short movie. Haha. Thank you for the link

One thing in advance for tonight: Just stay fair. Don't just compare this to MSP and give this a chance.

The "prequels" of this aren't really prequels, but project draughts of the series, kind of teasers for the series. They give background and a raw draught of the plot. As with teasers: The final series does not necessarily need to follow it. After having watched the "prequels" some weeks ago, I am a bit disappointed with the two episodes now. The teasers focused on the romantic side, while the reality is nearly slapstick-comedic. Anyhow, both mains are gorgeous, so I give it a go.

Maybe I am pervert,
but the scene, when Paipa walked out of the emergency room. The close-up of his face...I think that was the most beautiful picture I have ever seen in a movie or series. I had some sinful thoughts.

Off-topic from above: I always thought that Khaotung is short. I remember him being not very tall in The Eclipse. Here, he seems to be quite tall. Strange.

I plan to give 10/10 , unless they screw it up tonight, which I am sure, they won't.

The airing tag is always off, when the day of the last episode starts. In Thailand, we have already morning and the "final day" has already arrived...

Rated this 7.5, but I usually tend to be quite generous with stars. I assume the high rating here is due to PondPhuwin-Perth-Chimon fans.
My major problem with this series is Phuwin. His performance did not convince me. He was doing wonderfully being in love, though in the first episodes even that was dry. But, somehow, he was misplaced as a billionnaire's son. There was not a second I actually believed he came from such a household. His performance in that was more a billionnaire's son who was accidentally exchanged and brought up by the toilet cleaner. Sorry. At least, in the final episode he gave all to satisfy the BL fans who want to see the kiss.

The low performance of Phuwin was not all due to his acting. He can act. He won't win an Oscar, yes, but at least he knows how to act in front of a cam. The story itself contributed a lot to this uncreative plot-setting. For instance, Thai is a status society. No way that a billionnaire's son is bullied openly in that way. Won't say, it does not happen, but not openly. It will be subtle. They portrayed him and his family as super-important. In Thailand, Nueng could literally have gone to school, killed his classmates and teachers, then return home and telling his mum: Please, call the Police President and the Minister of Justice for tea this afternoon. We have something to discuss, and prepare a bit of "coffee money". Nothing can harm people with money. That is even in the US the case, though not that profound. That made Nueng a doubtful character, while Palm was portrayed quite "realistic" if I can use this word here. Probably because the writers know and can imagine how a fisherman's world is like, but not how a billionnaire's is...

I think 7.5 is quite okay, a good good, so to say. Northing overwhelming, but also nothing too harsh. Not sure if I will rewatch it. There were no real valueable moments in this series. I rather wait for a Youtube cut of Perth/Chimon moments here...

I still have goosebumps after watching this.
To be honest, it might not be that bad, we just do not understand Thai humor. A lot of Thai comedies I've watched were totally absurd. Same here in Vietnam. I cannot get into that.

The Thai title means something like Chains of the earth/ Earth chains (toranee can also be the name of the Earth Goddess). Not sure, where the heart comes from here...

I guess this is one of those few series where I will hunt the novel down, because I want to know what this is about.

Boom played in La Cuisine, if you happend to have seen that? He was the one friend opposing Lukchup getting close to Ram. I actually liked him there, too, but he never really got more screen time and his character wasn't worked out.

In fact, it angers me, when I think of so many good BL series which are worth a second season but never got one...

My life summarized: #IamPattoo

Ah, okay. Because I was a bit confused about ep 6...but I thought, well, every second BL has brothers falling in love (and some of them are blood related), so I thought, okaaaayyy.. I think I misunderstood, because in ep 1 Jim was talking about his family and it switched suddenly to Gaipa and his mom. I actually thought, she is his sister.

Ah, thank you.

Maybe I misunderstood it, so what relation is between Jim and Gaipa? I thought Gaipa is his nephew? Isn't his mother Jim's sister or sister-in-law?

What about her daughter? The girl looked like 5-6? Beam died 2018, now it was December 2022. If I assume the girl to be 3-4 (taken also that it is 9 months to give birth), she must have immediately married after Beam's death...I think that was a hint that she also had an affair. Or maybe I overinterprete here.

Toru is emotional as a dead frog. Okay, I saw him smiling sometimes. And I know, this is a Japanese series, but still... I've seen people reading the ingredients list of a product with more emotions in their face. And there are two guys fighting over him...

That is sad. Episode 8 did not look like a final, so I am surprised. Hope to see more of Boy...
