I hate this series! It made me crave spicy beef 🍜 and I have no way of getting any atm..
This is full of clichés (please don't make them childhood friends😒) but also kind of uplifting. It put me in a good mood which was all I wanted. Just need to make sure I have something delicious to eat before starting next ep^^

17 episodes in: I love it! It took me a while to get into it. At first, the comedy seemed too silly and the characters clichéd. Feihua! Now I think the writing is superb, comedy a perfect shade of gold and I fell in love with all six of the mains=D I admire the writer for creating tight unpredictable mystery/espionage story arcs drenched with humour all while giving so much heart and substance to the characters.

I actually started this because I was craving good friendship vibes (after finishing a Tw series Oh no! Here Comes Trouble which you should definitely check out!!) and this is givinggg!
Zhang Xingcheng is such a funny rascal. Bruce He as Yanei is hilariously over-the-top. I love Wang Kuan’s amused …. Ok they're all great lol. Give it a try!

I watched the uncut version on YouTube. It's free but geoblocked outside Europe I think.
It's also on Youku and Gaga behind a paywall. Youku has the shorter TV version for free.

As for the ending... You chose to ask the one person here who didn't like it😁 Most people here would tell you it's a happy ending. I'd say it’s unresolved/confusing. It's very hard to understand what has happened if you haven't read the book. But don't let my words discourage you from watching! You'll miss out on a true gem:))

It erases nothing. I feel for Khun Yai!!😭 You know, I think it's the first reincarnation story I've seen in years. Maybe I've been subconsciously avoiding the premise… I’ll definitely check out the 2nd season! I absolutely loved this series too;)

Can't believe it's been almost three weeks since I've finished this series! It's been in my head every day.
I noticed I have a crazy amount of screenshots from this drama. Ok, a whole lot of them are various shots of Yai looking at Jom;) Because those deserve to be appreciated!
But I also really liked how they visually composed and framed a lot of the shots. There are some real stunners with the white billowy curtains, flower trees or sea of green outside shaping the frame. Lol with some episodes, I feel like a crazy tourist who keeps taking photos of everything, because it's so beautiful and you so badly want to capture the feeling it gives you°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･
I'm waiting (impatiently) for subs in my language to get done, before I rewatch the whole thing. Hope for all those poetic confessions, pillow talks and Jom’s rap song to hit different:))

Okayyy I don't really understand. But I'm assuming some people could do with some butthurt cream...

Come on... This is not C-dramaland!! What happened?

Lol, I do mind. I need for sad endings to be firmly anchored in the story. In this case, I just fail to see the reason why they needed to give one to Khun Yai and Jom. But, I understand it's not your point:) I totally get how you feel. Every time I see a comment saying it's a happy ending my fingers itch to correct it😁 …which I don't do. Because I'm not mean;)

I haven't read the novel, so I can't comment on the plot. But if the story really involves Jom falling in love with two Yais just to lose them, and the two Yais falling in love with Jom just to lose him, that sounds a bit too melodramatic for my taste. If season 2 ever happens, I hope they change it or at least give us better explanation for everything that happens.

You're not alone. I also don't get it. I was hoping till the very last second that they would disregard the book, and let those two live out their lives together (in whatever timeline). I mean, they made me fall in love with that beautiful soul that is Khun Yai and get invested in their happiness for 12 long hours, just to make him a long gone memory at the end?! I honestly don't understand why they didn't go with a more ambiguous ending. At least allowing for a possibility that it was the original Khun Yai in the last scene. They didn't give us any explanations to the mystery anyway🤷

Sorry, I have no idea. I watched this in Chinese. Maybe dailymotion?

Strong is one way to put it😁
It's super weird and super cute. It's clear the writers wanted to play with bl tropes and had a lot of fun with it! But if you're asking me if it's romantic or platonic? For me it's the latter. But, well, who's gonna stop you from shipping whoever you want.
Anyway, the friendship between the main trio is all shades of awesome (and goofy;)
Watch it! It's a gem! The most entertained I've been all year.

This! Perfect summary of how I felt😂🫶

This is APPALLINGLY funny and REVOLTINGLY relatable!

What? How? I'm 😲 This series wrung my emotions dry. Now I'm scared to think of what you consider an angst story:)).

Youku. The TV version is free. The uncut is VIP only but it cost 3$/month I think.

I agree with the comments below. This is way too good to end with just one season! I want moreeee❣️❣️❣️

I also read book spoilers about Yai reincarnations. But my point was that I wished it was better explained in the drama itself. I'm a firm believer that dramas/movies should stand on their own. If we have to know what happened in the book to make sense of what happened in the drama, then imo it's a flaw. I just felt too confused by this ending to find it satisfying.

Yes, I was talking about that engagement dinner. Honestly, it's not a big deal. I can easily guess what happened. That Jom, James and Fongkaew pulled their resources together to put Robert in jail. I just felt slightly disappointed by how many things happened off-screen. I was actually hoping for Yai to be the one to help his sister (and stop the engagement). We saw him talking to James about investigating Robert, but never saw any results. We also never saw Jom and Yai discuss this together. Or many other important things tbh:) Jom tells F. about Yai's investigation, but we never see them actually making any plans together to expose the truth, etc. In other words, I would've preferred to actually SEE them working together to pull Robert down. That's what I meant by under-explained - that much of the context is missing.

I would love a second season! There are so many ways to make the story interesting. Jom wearing modern clothes when he meets commander Yai definitely puts a big question mark on when?! exactly did he travel to meet him. Unless it was just a dream?;)

Hope you enjoy it:)

What? No way. I love Gong Zi but that guy tried to mold her into the shape he wanted her to be, by cutting off her exits and leading her to make choices she wouldn't have made otherwise. She pretty much said as much to his face. It boggles my mind for real. Not accepting him was clever of her!

Weirdest bromance I've ever seen lol. Yiyong's mom is pure awesomeness. Whoever wrote the dialogues has a lit sense of humour<3 I'm enjoying this drama so much! It's hilarious, yet touching. But waaaaaay too short. Got only one episode left and I'm kind of unwilling to hit play…
