Good question! I guess we don't really know since we didn't see any flashbacks of him in high school with other boys. I'd taken it as maybe his only kiss but probably the last kiss that happened up until then, so Peace nearly kissing him brought back that traumatic memory?

Hopefully we're not the only ones thinking it! 😂😂 Huh! I just checked AO3 and there's not even a category for Bangkok Boys so we may be waiting in vain.

Yes, I think I can see all of your previous comment which ended that Mr. Joe's plans are a mystery?
Yeah, they're pushing this slow burn a bit longer than I expected! I never watched the trailer but I understand there will eventually be *something* happening between Peace and Sun.

Omg, I totally want Junho and Aim to get freaky together!!!!

I'm not sure I agree it's inevitable! Look how far Sun's luck has gotten him so far. 😂 Peace seems like he wants to protect him so maybe he'll end up being the person who betrays his family to save his (eventual, maybe, one of these days) lover?

Ah, so you don't think the murder weapon is for blackmail but that the Koreans will use it to get Sun out of the way? But...is he really such a threat? If everyone had just left him alone wouldn't he be running a gym?? The only reason he got dragged into all this is because of his brother!

I can't really see impulsive (but frankly gorgeous) Junho planning any of this but Jihoon, sure. I think he's plotting all the time.

I guess? But Joe needed them to get in in the first place, which nearly didn't happen. 😂 Anyway, I'm probably getting too far into the weeds with the "non-romance plot stuff" so I'll be patient and see if things come together or not (ahem, a la Playboyy 🤣).

But why would the Koreans think that Sun and his gang would have the first clue about how to break into the port? The only reason it came together was because of the surprise appearance of Tian! I mean, I'm not saying you're wrong, it makes as much sense as anything else, but I'm not sure why Mr. Joe has so much confidence in Jack and Sun.

I like your interpretation of Kawin! But too bad his peeps don't listen to him, ha ha. Of course, Sun's motivation goes back to Joe delivering up the man who killed his father and Jack's motivation is to get the neighborhood back under their control (though I don't actually believe Joe plans to follow through on this).

Sun is totally reckless, agreed! I guess Tian is part of his overall luck. 😂 But since you brought up the prints on the murder weapon...what is that even for? After it happened, I thought, Oh great, now they (whoever they are) can blackmail Sun or someone close to him into doing something or else the knife will be given to the police and Sun will go back to prison, but assuming that whoever has the knife is part of a murderous gang (they killed two men with that knife, after all), wouldn't they just threaten to kill Sun instead of trying to blackmail him/someone else? Is going to Thai prison worse than death?

Ah, I'd forgotten about the birthday party, good point.

Seriously!! And what were they gonna do if Tian hadn't shown up?Which begs the question, why did Joe want THEM to do this job in the first place? They are rank amateurs, so why even bother? Maybe we'll get the answer in a future ep but right now it doesn't make much sense (though maybe I'm asking for too much).

Though Kawin is also stone cold because he was the one who wanted to leave the injured guy to just die!

True, I like your reasoning, though did we ever really see that Sun had feelings for Kong? We know they were best friends and at some point at the start he told someone that he'd killed someone he'd loved (or that someone he'd loved had died), but I'm not sure it was clear in the flashbacks that he was crushing on Kong. But I guess maybe we can assume he was.

Right, that was Kong kissing him right before he died. But tbh I've never quite understood why Sun keeps saying that he killed Kong. I get that he feels responsible for his death but he never seems to correct anyone.

Agreed! But also...what?? Was that the best time he could find, as they're trying to get away from guys trying to beat/kill them?

Well, I think it's Kawin who asks, when they're trying to plan the heist, if they think maybe they're being set up - which seems reasonable since they were set up THE LAST TIME - and Sun's the one who says screw it, let's do it anyway!

Ah, I hadn't thought of PTSD as the reason he flinches away from Peace's kiss attempt.

Good question! And when Kawin asks the guys if they think maybe they're being set up (when trying to plan Joe's job), Sun says screw it, let's just do it? He's the one who's been to prison before! They are definitely no Ocean's 11. 😂

It happens! And really there's way more to the series than just what you wrote so hopefully the other user will still be able to watch and enjoy!

Did you have a favorite couple?

Seriously!!

Maybe put a spoiler tag on this.

Thank you!! 🙏

So who is Nap working for who wanted to set up Sun? You're right that it doesn't seem like Joe would want to because for some reason he has a good opinion of Sun, so why put him in a position to be blackmailed? Maybe Jihoon is behind it all? I can't see impetuous Junho planning it.

Okay, I know that Junho was referred to as the "adopted son" but I wasn't sure how we knew that before ep5, and I didn't know Jihoon was also adopted. I think in earlier eps they called him "godfather" and "stepfather." But okay, so Peace, or Songmin, is his only blood-related son so that's why it's so important for him to have heirs.

But wait, how is Nap working with Aim and Yao if he and some masked men just stole all the money from Yao? Wouldn't that mean Nap is working with Joe? Or just Aim if Aim is going against Madame Yao?

And yes, you've reminded me that I wanted to rewatch the scene where Aim and Jihoon are talking in a parking garage (I think) because I thought maybe Aim was planning to betray Yao? Okay, that's the scene where Aim hands over the two Thai guys (who later are killed, one by Peace) to Jihoon, who then gives them to Joe, because they were trying to side with Madame Yao.

Jihoon definitely wants to get rid of Peace to take his place, right? But what relationship does he actually have with Joe? He's been called a "son" but at the start I think he uses a different term than "father" for Joe.
