True....though I'm having a hard time thinking of motivation for Aob to have had anything to do with Nant's disappearance (I still don't think he's dead) but there's still half the season to go! I guess nothing should surprise me at this point. 😂

Am I right in thinking that Aob and Puen don't have a "true" connection to the Nant mystery? Yes, Aob works at Playboyy and Nant clearly knew the three ex-employees, but Aob wasn't invited to the "sexy sleepwear" party so they seemingly don't think of him as a suspect. Puen joined the rugby team after Nant disappeared so presumably wouldn't have known Keen and no one has said Puen attended the sex party that Nuth hosted.

So is this pairing just here for our entertainment if they aren't connected to the mystery?

Agreed, but something tells me Puen can protect himself!! 💪💪

At this point I'll just enjoy whatever scenes they have together!

LMAO!!! 🤣🤣 Oh my lord, I can just picture these actors we adore looking all sweaty and miserable! Though ngl, would LOVE to see some of them sleeping in their underwear. 😏😉😄

Thank you for reminding me that we are basically watching fantasies. I do recall seeing something on YouTube, maybe Perth from KP, talking about how overdressed their characters are, but that was a while ago and I conveniently forgot.

Once...like for ONE day?? Damn, I would DIE. 🥵

And would you mind answering a question as someone who lived there? I am super curious to know if the reason why every Thai series that shows people in bed (so practically all of them) nearly always shows them using what seem like fairly thick comforters instead of just sheets or a light blanket. Is this because the air conditioning is up high enough that it's "cold" in the bedrooms?

Damn, okay, thanks! I was hoping against hope that it would be the unedited version. Why is Copy A Bangkok so cruel?????

On the Playboyy social media accounts a couple of hours ago, they posted again about an "uncut" version of ep7 on Gaga. Can someone with an account tell the rest of us if the run time is longer than what was posted last week? I see 53:05 on kiss.

I went back over the first four eps because I had forgotten quite a lot and was surprised to see that our boy Keen is a bit more twisted than I'd recalled! I hadn't remembered that the reason he and Captain got together in the first place was because Captain came into the locker room to see Keen...sniffing and rubbing himself with Captain's underwear. 😮 Way to be inappropriate! And also, really? 🤔

Yeah, that's our assumption, and that they dubbed it in Thai because of the criticism and confusion about why they kept using English with each other, but that's just a guess.

I had noticed that!

Ha! I haven't seen War of Y but I'll admit to having no idea how any of this is going to end! 😂

I would be disappointed if Puen had been manipulating Aob all this time but I don't think he has been. They first hook up because Aob says he's curious why Puen is so popular, but after showing Aob his moves, the older one is like, Nah, you're not that great. So then Puen says fine, teach me, and the manager makes Aob his mentor, so more lessons follow, but the whole time Aob is negging him, like you're not that sexy, etc. Around here is when Nuth hires them to "make love" and Puen declares his feelings for Aob, who pushes him away. But Puen remains confident and sassy, pushing back by saying he'll be the more popular one someday. Then after the failed 3some when the client complains about Aob, Puen says he didn't think it would happen so quickly but now *he* is the #1 Playboyy.

I didn't think Puen's goal was to manipulate Aob and somehow take his place but that it happened because Aob won't face his feelings for the younger man and instead screws up on the job because of his jealousy.

Ah, I don't think I'd caught the "foreign" reference, and I think you're right that the character is probably supposed to be half Thai, so maybe that explains why he and First are the main ones who were breaking into English, but there was also the strange English voiceovers during the scene between Nuth, Aob, and Puen when Nuth was presumably hiring them for his "movie." All three seem like native speakers so using English was odd.

There was a hiatus around Christmas/New Year's but ep7, the first ep after the editing hiatus, aired last Thursday, Jan 11.

So I finally did my due diligence and went back over the first four eps (SO many things I'd forgotten!) and now have confirmation that my initial thought that Puen is not from a wealthy family has been confirmed. He's at the uni on a sports scholarship so if he doesn't make the rugby team, he has to drop out. Though that bit was kind of confusing because when we first see him, I thought Captain told his friends that Puen was "his competition" but both of them seem to make the team.

Now, none of that explains how he ends up working at the Playboyy club! 😂 That scene in ep4 just shows him getting dressed in the club "uniform" and telling himself, "Be ready to work" and "Time to work, Puen." I still feel like it's reasonable to think it's similar to a young woman putting herself through college working as a stripper though with the scholarship maybe he just wants some spending money? Anyway, whatever brought him there, I'm happy about it. 😄

Can one be dickmatized if one is the top? Or does it only work if it's the bottom? 😂

He *is* the best character! And yes, he's eclipsed the master so how will Aob react in the next ep? Will he admit he's caught feelings for his former "student"? 😍

Ha ha! I'm not sure I'd ever have called Puen "innocent" but he's certainly the most moral, as long as your morals are okay with having sex for money. 😄

Fair enough!

True! But nothing that any of us could say would change their behavior, right? Anyway, it's an individual choice to engage or not. 🙂
