Hopefully, the silly moments, along with those background tunes will slowly fade away, as the newest comrades get familiar to the environment and their leaders.

"Bowl Cut needs to control his mouth before he says something to out them."

I don’t think Bowl Cut (hilarious nickname for this character) actually spilled the beans on Ryo and Zen.

I think their other co-workers have finally put the pieces of the puzzle together of why Ryo and Zen are so competitive with one another on their own and have chosen to not say anything publicly to them, until they say something about their relationship.

They have better common sense than Bowl Cut.

Hirai Amon was fantastic as Futami.

Runch's/Ran's mother is absolutely ridiculous.

I am so glad that Itsuki and Yuma were finally open with one another, about how their mutual lack of communication, trust, and not seeing the other in front of them as a person, and not just as a hopeful potential life-long partner is what caused their relationship to implode.

Hopefully, they will both be able to move on and away from the wreckage, and establish a friendship, because I do think they want each other to be happy. They just couldn't make each other happy as a couple.

I think that's understandable, right?

I figured that was the situation. It bugs the shit out of me, when these fictional moms are always written to be quiet, dutiful wives, who ignore their grown adult child's pain and suffering, because she wants to be a good wife.

She knew Krit has been wanting to tell, at least to her, about himself, and the man who has made him happy. I wonder how everything will be wrapped up, because I don’t understand how Krit NOR Wayu are supposed to have a decent relationship with the man that threatened harm to him

It's like what happened in last year's Love In The Moonlight.

I knew I recognized that actress from another series.

I think they do these redemption plots for the horrible parents in these series, because in reality, these parents never ever change their behaviors/attitudes/actions/beliefs. So, they have to give the viewers, who are living under these horrible conditions, some delusional sense of escapism.

The mom AND the father, saw how Krit revived once Wayu was allowed to be inside Krit's hospital room, encouraging him to wake up and come back to him. Krit didn't come back for his parents, nor his absentee fiancée. He came back for Wayu.

Krit now has to be defiant and stand up for himself, Wayu, and the life that they want together.

I absolutely love this series.

Glad that we are getting a part 2 of this series.

I would love it, if Krit's father was revealed to be corrupt. Which will make him lose his "standing" in society. It will hopefully open up Krit's mind to allow himself to start living for his own self, and the shared future life he wants to live/experience with Wayu.

All those plans and dreams he spoke about with Wayu, just won't fade away, due to Krit choosing to walk down that path his father wants for him.

Tai gave Wayu very good advice regarding Mind.

Wayu misses him, but right now, Mind needs to keep away from him. He has to come to terms with his romantic feelings not being accepted and returned by Wayu in a way that will hopefully help him move on in a good way.

I hope IQUIYI picks it up to broadcast in the Americas. This plot is interesting.

"It's a story about desire and longing - and they can't deliver that."

They stripped out all of the desire and longing and just kept the awkward sexual positions and really horrible kiss scenes.

"Scriptwriter: No. The manga and the anime are both explicitly sexual. Like, pornographically sexual, with explicit depictions of gay sex. How do we protect the viewers from reality by making it less sexual?"

I am not even halfway through reading your review and I love it.

I don't understand why these production company's purchase the rights of these highly sexual stories and then chose to take all the sexual heat from the adaption.

This series was just lovely. The exploration and second chance to find love between Azuma and Kuji was very well written, developed, and shown to the audience, in a very grounded and realistic way.

I love watching characters getting another chance at finding connection, and love at different places in their lives.

Kuji was coming out of the painful fog of being the caregiver of his father and his passing. While Azuma was dealing with depression of his life, that wasn't very fulfilling for him at this time.

It was luck that they ended up in the same gay bar 8 years after they spent one night together.

Takeda Kouhei and Shibuya Kento were wonderful together as Azuma and Kuji. Pure magic.

I enjoyed the series.
I wish that the director and screenwriter had provided an adaption that displayed the sexual drive/attraction/heat that should have been there between Fukami and Kaji, to better explain how they went from physical desire to emotional love.

"That hospital scene was a masterclass in manipulation and older Yi chen unfortunately bought it."

Xiao Chen's momma did exactly what Lu Feng's father attempted to do to Lu Feng: shame them into being filial dutiful sons to their parents.

She's just "succeeded" right now, but at a cost to another piece of her son's broken spirit/broken heart.

She knew her medical condition, and deep down in her soul, she knew that Xiao Chen was never truly over the pain of being separated from Lu Feng all those years ago.

As for her placing blame on Xiao Chen for"infecting" Yi Chen with the "gayness," I believe that Yi Chen realized that he was gay, when his brother introduced Lu Feng as his "friend" to their parents years ago. He recognized the hunger that Lu Feng has always had for Xiao Chen and that bothered him, because he has that hunger.

"Nothing worked beyond a certain point and we owe it all to the writers and makers who weren't willing to actually go anywhere with the story."

Agreed. I think that the ridiculous and absurd shipping teams backlash/fallout (F/B fans vs. F/K fans) from the first season of Only Friends made it clear to GMMTV and the director/screenwriters, that they could not attempt to allow themselves the freedom to create/adapt any sort of sequel that could truly exist with the world that was created within season one.

The storylines for Jack, Dean, Rome, Raffy, Tua and Arnold were so tame, that it's so apparent that GMMTV didn't want the shipping craziness to affect how they maintain the selling points of their CPs. So, it had a huge impact on what they let themselves create for this spin-off. Yes, they had multiple cameos from the first season, and even had Boston being used as a foil in the Tua and Arnold saga, but it was absolutely nothing like the first season at all.

I actually want a throuple with Chuai, Khong, and Sai.

The director and screenwriters for this season just did not want to offend, so they chose to play everything regarding all the storylines for the main characters really safe, tame, and dull. Not including the sex scenes.

I literally forgot that Arnold was a dancer, so I stumped as to why him having an issue with his ankle (they couldn't even let him break his ankle), and keeping that information from Tua was such a big issue.

The rivalry issue between the step-brothers Rome and Jack was never truly explored. Jack wasn't this critically acclaimed and sought-after director of the stage. Rome was the one, who actually had a following AND paid job as a dj.

Even the scene of Dean and Raffy finding some common ground over how the rumors spread about them, never got the best of them.

For the viewers, who enjoyed this season, good for you. I was just disappointed in the script, direction and overall production.
