Loved it!!

"This is all fine and they really don't need to change anything between them as long as they like HOWEVER can any of you really see them dating/ marrying other people? They won't be able to treat them right unless their partners are satisfied with being the 2nd priority and knowing there's a best friend who'll matter quite a bit more."

Agreed.

Shin would probably try to date, but would drop everything to go to Saint's side, and then wonder why all his attempts in dating end up with the ladies looking at him in disbelief that he doesn't realize that he's never been that interested in them as a future possible spouse. He already has life partner in Saint.

Saint won't date anyone at all. He will be there waiting for Shin.

"cheating in the last episode and they still end up together is crazy."

It's not that crazy. Pat the ever faithful doormat was always going to chose Elyes. Elyes basically could have told Pat one night, that he would need to use Pat's bedroom to have a sex with Khim, or any of his other FWB options, and he would have smiled right into his face, and let him do it.

"I'm just very confused about people saying this version is different from the Thai one. Of course, it's shorter so not everything is here but from what I recall, it's the exact same plot for the first couple. I could even say they didn't even change their line and sub plot."

Exactly. Nothing has really been changed, except for the level of spicy heat factor between these 2 pairings. It's the same shallow story.

"When you do get together with Pat, for the tenth time no doubt, have the decency to dick him down properly. I mean, dick him down so properly that he will never have cause to complain again -- except perhaps of having to limp to work. The poor lad deserves at least that, don’t you think?"

Elyes read your letter, because he did indeed "dick" Pat down, while he was still able to keep his eyeglasses on.

"y'all only hate this show because you either can't understand it, you don't like seeing real life situations, or you're the bl fans they call out."

I recently did a rewatch of this series 2 years after the finale aired, because quite frankly "War of Y" literally reflects certain types of behaviors that are still happening within the Thai BL industry that many fans won't acknowledge.

Thiranai was such an incompetent AND stupid villain throughout the entire series.

He has his lover, go undercover as a spy for him in Elyes' company, wihout anyone else to assist him?!

Somehow, the inept Thai detectives, aren't able to find enough evidence to connect him as the ring-leader of this criminal activity, so he's not officially arrested.

Then, he partners with Fei Long, who's supposedly a big bad mafia guy. Loses his part of the deal, then decides to kidnap, beat-up AND threatens to kill the big bad mafia's lover, without planning to kill Fei Long as well?!

Only one more episode.

Sadly, this series isn't in the "So bad, that it is hysterically good!" category as "Unforgotten Night", but isn't truly horrible as "Check Out".

"And could they cut the stupid sound effects please."

GMMTV just cannot keep themselves from adding those annoying sound effects. I think they even went completely over the top in this series finale with them.

"Those of us who want strong plots about gay characters and actors who are skilled and the best fit for a role, have been left behind. That's not what the majority of series in Thailand these are made for. It really is just a business and the business model is working."

That's why I have stopped complaining when certain series suddenly seem to lose the plot before half of the episodes have aired. I know that many of these actors are very talented, and they want to be challenged in regards to their skills as actors, but they are under contract with these companies and they want to be able to work to help maintain the financial support for themselves and their families.

I won't fault them for that. I just hope that for all the series that are subpar, while also making money for the company, that they will have at least one or two stand-out series that will truly showcase their talents. Sadly, this isn't one of those series.

"It seems to me that they think: as long as we have hot actors, everything will be consumed and bought..."

I agree with both Froehlein and HaoLunYin. Something has to change in regards to how GMMTV and frankly very many other Thai based production companies think about the BL projects they choose to produce, along with exactly HOW they go about in producing these series.

I don't know what happened and frankly we will never know, but GMMTV couldn't allow this series to be a bit more harder, regarding the situations that both Q and Mhen faced in their lives, before AND after Mhen chose to "kidnap" him. The series was just turned into a typical BL rom-com.

Only so much that the cast could do with the script and direction given to them. All of these actors are getting older, and they should be getting scripts and projects that reflect their development as performers, be it a BL, GL, or lakorn.

I liked this BL and I thought that it's interesting that China was ahead of the game in regards to cray cray stalker fans and some of the behaviors associated with their "devotion" to their "faves". That Shao Feng's rejected former boss, now rival basically was used as the muscle to try to eliminate him, all because Han Gu's "brother" was also jealous over Shao Feng.

I loved the friendship between Mishima and Kirino. It was so heartbreaking to see Kirino giving that lipstick back to Mishima and referring to it as the "key to his Pandora's Box". His real self having to be locked inside of a box.

Bravo to Sawada Ikuko, Nakamura Ataru, Araki Towa, Sono Shunta, Fujimoto Kodai, Abe Alan, Sakai Wakana, the supporting cast and crew for bringing this BL adaption to the small screen.

Hiroto was just trying to keep himself from even thinking that Aoi was actually dead. Between Lion getting physically ill in worrying/scared that his Mom had actually died, to Michito being able to understand that Lion's Mom had died, knowing that it was going to be something that would have a lasting affect on Lion, because of how he experienced the loss of his and Hiroto's parents.

The birthday party for Lion was so sweet, and their "pride" continues to grow with Hiroto and Mio's co-worker and his sweet boy.

That scene of Hiroto releasing those happy and relief tears, while Lion and Michito try to make him laugh was wonderful.

I am not feeling suspicious about Aoi at all. She's in hiding for a reason and the whole "almost choking" Lion aka Shutta will probably be revealed to be something else entirely.

This project is a perfect series to showcase the talents of Mick and Top.

I shouldn't be surprised that the tags do not include domestic abuse. Run is involved in a coercive domestic abusive relationship with Fei Long, so that he can protect his brother who is in jail.

I love that with Shuuto being a part of Hiroto and Michito's lives, they are gaining more help to support each other as a family. Their elderly neighbor. Michito's director at the art school. Hiroto's co-workers. The X stranger, and now the tabloid reporters.

"ooh I think that X person is really helping kids that are abused… because I thought that Mio might had been abused before and she is connected to him😳"

I think that the X person told Mio who he is, and that he's trying to keep Shuuto safe from harm. She's still in communication with that individual. They're joining together to help keep that family safe. She's definitely interested in Hiroto.

"aoi if she is the one dead… was probably killed by her husband…"

Either the husband, or someone from his family may have harmed Aoi.

At the end of the day, hopefully it's an upfront paid job for all these performers. It's crystal clear that New, the director was chosen, because this is what he does best in the opinions of these production companies. "We Are The Series", "FourEver You The Series", and this Sunday's premiere of "Perfect10Liners The Series". All premiering in 2024.

"It would be soooo nice if they spent less time on the females feeling sorry for themselves or being loud and more time with the other main characters. I know what the director and writer are trying to do, but as others have said the pacing is off. And the story is jumbled and something we've seen done better many times before."

I really do not understand why the screenwriter has Hill's friend STILL hung-up, silent, and waiting in the wings for him to finally see her as more than just a friend. She comes across desperate, needy, and willingly blind to how Hill has never looked at her, the way he does with Ter. This is even after those two haven't been around each other in over 2 years.

We have seen this sort of plot over and over again, but it's their bread and butter aka money maker.

Pond and Cooheart have nice chemistry together, and they're both bringing the amount of sweetness needed for the characters they're portraying as Hill and Ter in this series. These are two young college students who have had unknown crushes on each other for years. Now that those words/feelings have been expressed, we will get the second pairing of Johan and North started.

Look, almost the entire cast is a little long in the tooth to be portraying freshman and juniors in college, but at least these performers have a couple of series under their belts. No one looks like they are lost in the headlights due to not having experience being in other shows.

Their return to visit their college campus, where they first met was a lovely episode. The love between Itsuki and Fuyu grew out of their friendship for one another, and when it became clear to Itsuki that she felt more than friends feelings for Fuyu, she took her time, and waited for the moment that she could share her feelings for her. Having Fuyu express that she wasn't torn up that her boyfriend was actually cheating on her at that time, and that she felt more for Itsuki was lovely to see. Maybe she had that realization months before, but wasn't able to see that her feelings were share with Itsuki, until she confessed to her.

I am glad that all three of the adults in Tsuki's life, are making plans to stay in Japan to help raise her. That they all get a second chance at achieving their happiness warms my heart.

Such a lovely episode
