At the end of Ep. 8 we see Mr Lue's face being unwrapped for a few seconds as if he's just had plastic surgery and suddenly everyone (including me) suspects he's Din, BUT... and it's a big but, you can change a person's face but you can't change their voice, so it stands to reason Ken would have recognised Din's voice even though he has the face of someone else, but he hasn't.
Aside from that, why hasn't anyone killed off Nok yet? In the course of events, some of his assailants, including Mr Lue, have had the opportunity to do it but nobody has. I wish somebody would so we don't have to hear his maniacal laugh anymore.
I think the Mr. Lue actor actually has potential. His emotional scenes are actually good. His eyes convey a lot…
As far as I can make out, at the end of Ep. 6, the person who ended up falling off his motorbike with a knife in his back was the malevolent Nok, but here he is, back in Ep. 7, still prowling around and terrorising people while trying to find out where Din is, who should be dead as he was shot then fell off a cliff with Ken, who survived.
You're right about the situation with Mr. Lue and Ken, who has declared his love for him and every time they're about to kiss there's a damn interruption. It's very frustrating. However, until Ken is certain whether Din is alive or dead, there will be little to no development between those too. I fear that the mystery of Din is going to be with us for some time yet so we're going to be in for a lot of plot padding until that's resolved.
I have to admit that I'm surprised by the welter of super enthusiastic comments about this series. The two leads were very cute and worked well together. When they finally put the past aside and decided to be boyfriends forever (after all, there was a 7 year interval between school and work), though keep their relationship secret from their coworkers, initially it appeared to be one-sided love but as the story progressed we found out that wasn't exactly the case. It was essentially plot driven, the writing was good, it held one's interest and the length was just right. The bits after the end credits were a clever touch. All in all, it was a pleasant and likeable series, fairly original in concept, and eminently suitable to be watched in one sitting as I did.

Overall, I found this to be a charming series with two very cute boys in the lead roles. It's easy to see why Tae Hyun found it difficult to express his love to Da Yeol for so long, but when given the opportunity unexpectedly, he was more than ready to. Much has been made in the discussion about the lack of a proper kiss in the final episode. In my opinion, there should have been one and with it I would have given the show .5 more in my rating.
When I first discovered this show, it was nearing the end of the final episode being uploaded. Shortly afterwards, I began to watch it and completed it over a period of 5 days. By the end of Ep. 5, I had become so engrossed in this story and the way it left one hanging on to see what happened next that I felt compelled to keep on watching and was justly rewarded. I've seen quite a few body swap series but this one is possibly the most nuanced, thoughtful and unusual story of them all.
Set in a picturesque rural area, it was wonderfully acted by the mostly young cast, with beautiful cinematography and a sensitive score that combined, enhanced and brought it all together. Like all good stories, it had its twists and turns that only added to one's enjoyment. Highly recommended.
I can't find this anywhere, not with a Google search nor on KissAsian, so where is it and what is the link? Thanks.
Silly me. I should have looked up the title, 'Dangerous Drugs of Sex' which of course has its own MDL page, https://mydramalist.com/40291-sei-no-gekiyaku and though the plot has similarities to the Love Syndrome prequel, this film is not it and is actually a film from Japan. Following the link from Lazy Subber, it leads to both volumes of the manga, which suggests that the Thai film/s, if they were ever made are no longer available. Also, there is no year after the title - see above (which never happens) so that kind of proves it.
Just watched this for the second time in one sitting. It was aired during the initial avalanche of BL series from the Philippines, most of which were forgettable or not very good, but this series was one of the better ones mainly due to the two leads whose chemistry is electric. From the start, Jaime is attracted to Winston who he finds on a blog and when they meet soon after, Winston realises Jaime is attracted to him while he finds he can't help but feel the same way, though he does his best to quash those feelings. The way Jaime looks at Winston throughout the series is enough to make one melt. At the guest house where Jaime is supposed to win the affection of Heart, who has just come out of a relationship that ended badly, Jaime and Winston find themselves becoming more and more attracted to each other. One thing leads to another and suddenly Jaime can't contain himself any longer and manages to kiss Winston passionately in the bathroom, who responds in kind. By the time the three of them leave the guest house, Jaime is sure he wants to be with Winston and that's where it ends. As such, that works quite well. A second series was never made, nor was it really necessary as what was given is quite sufficient.
After reading a few comments, I just realised there's a prequel to the series which escaped my attention when I first found out about it. I've just watched 3 episodes in one sitting and I like this series very much, however, I don't think it's too late to watch the prequel before I go any further with this.
Ep. 10 - Finale. This was an amiable, somewhat engrossing series in which Toru, the main character, has cute guys falling over themselves to be with him, though there is nothing particularly special about him - just a really nice, attractive guy, extremely competent, helpful to a fault and not one to blow his own horn. Having broken up with Masumi, who took the entire series to get over him, he took up with Ryo, a fellow attorney, who took an instant attraction to him and quickly became his boyfriend, who is quite cute but quickly became rather possessive and jealous when he saw Masumi try to win Toru back. As an expression of his love for Toru, he spent his spare time painting a portrait of the both of them which he eventually finishes but we don't see him give it to Ryo on their anniversary or find out why it's hanging in a small gallery (as per the end titles).
In this final episode, Ryo doesn't make an appearance. Instead, Toru finds himself in the new restaurant of a former pupil, Jun, where he meets a friend and business associate, the cute Mr. Suzuki, who like Masumi before him, basically falls in love with Toru at first sight. Toru begins to realise this but doesn't volunteer the information that he's already taken. That information is provided by Masumi, who has also been invited to the restaurant by Jun, who also conveys the same message, so he changes tac and invites him to join his business as a co-CEO who he wants regardless to be by his side. Does Toru take up the offer? To Be Continued appears in large graphics, but two years on, there is no indication there will be a Season 3. If there was, I could imagine the lack of passion exhibited by Toru towards Ryo and taking up the position with Mr. Suzuki, might lead Toru to just as easily drop Ryo for the rich new guy. Who knows?
Ep. 8. It's getting a little drawn out and repetitive. I'm also finding Toru's character to be a bit too bland. He's just so nice to everyone, so thoughtful, so eager to please and always wanting to improve himself and correct any flaws he sees in himself. There's nothing wrong with that, per se, but it's perhaps a little unrealistic. The other thing I find odd is that he and Ryo as boyfriends who love each other, then why do we always see Toru sleeping on the couch instead of in bed with Ryo?
Ep. 3. I'm getting used to the new Masumi. Though not as exaggerated with his speech and movements, he nevertheless has brought to the role his own dynamic which works in the context of the unfolding drama concerning the bullying he faced from a new teacher, Mr. Saegusa, which led to him quitting his job and his mother going to see Toru, now an attorney, to remedy the situation with a view to Masumi returning to the school as a teacher.
The heart of this episode was the one on one with Mr. Saegusa which was quite long but it was superbly scripted and acted. What stood out was the way Toru was supremely focused yet was able to express empathy when he found out why Mr. Saegusa had become so nasty to everyone and was able to get a full admission as to his abusive behaviour.
The plot line supplied to this series did not give any indication that it was going to focus on Masumi hiring Toru as his attorney or that Toru's new boyfriend, a fellow attorney from the same office, would become jealous of those two being together again. Indeed, Masumi's name isn't even mentioned, but of course, as a second series, he had to appear as a main character and I think gives a hint to the title of the series. It's certainly more serious and has more substance than the first one.
Ep. 3. By now, we can see this is much more than a romantic dramatic drama; it is a psychological drama that revolves around Uea. Under that gentle and sweet exterior, he is contending with his past - the beatings and verbal abuse from his mother and the unwanted way in which his uncle touched him that could easily lead to sexual predation. In the present, his ex-boyfriend won't accept they've broken up and forces himself on Uea. It is no wonder that in his relationship with King that he set rules and appears at times troubled which King cannot fathom because he won't open up to him about it. His cuteness is ultimately a curse because everyone, boys and girls alike, gay or straight, finds him desirable so he puts up a barrier to stop people from becoming too close to him, with the exception of King and Jade.
Disclaimer. Before watching Season 2 I decided to rewatch Season 1 since it was only four brief episodes which I had rated highly because I found it to be so delightful and enjoyable, embued with a light touch and a sense of comedic fun. I have just watched the first episode and thought it was good Masumi was brought back after we found he and Toru broke up between seasons. However, it is a new Masumi who to my way of thinking isn't a patch on the old Masumi, who was funny, used a wide range of facial expressions and was a little dishevelled in his appearance. The new one looks far more conventional and acts with more restraint and that description characterises the overall feel of this first episode, which lacks the lightness and fun of the previous series. In addition, the episodes of the new series are more than twice as long and run to ten in number this time which have all been released, but it's early days yet for me. Consequently, I won't read what others have written who have watched the entire season by now and will post the occasional comment when the mood takes me.
Ep. 1 can be watched on various websites but the subtitles are uniformly awful and with different graphics. At the time of writing, four episodes have gone to air but only the first one has subtitles, an odd state of affairs. I can work out who Ai is (Dorm 2) and the guy he ended up arguing with is War (Dorm 3) who I think MDL has confusingly named Songkhram. So far, after going through some weird tests to see which dorm each student would reside in, the rest of the time sees everyone shouting and swearing at each other a lot. It's not a particularly auspicious start to this series so I hope things calm down, the subtitles improve and the story gets moving in the right direction.
