Tian's face really took me out in the bts lmao... He has subtitle on his face and he didn't know what he did sign…
I was thinking the same thing. the number of times he hides his face with the script and then makes that funny embarrassed face.. its like thinking damn what have i signed up for? will they let me quit if i give their money back? lol But arent we glad he didnt bolt.. From being the most unconvincing CC from his first table reading to performing in the show there could be no other CC but him.. I think his character arc was the hardest cause its the most boldest and shameless...
I don't know about the novel but in the series they meet in the clinic for the first time and slowly become buddies.
They meet the same way in the novel too but WSW hurts himself several times on his head with a brick after break up with Yue Yue and gradually bonds with the doctor.. The hitting his head with a brick is to gain sympathy of his gf
Loved the flustered falling in love Jimmy in the opening scene.. such a charmer this entire episode with a halo over his head. So many moods from unnerved to jealous to mischief to smitten to caring to flirtatious to gentle to loving to serious to pillar of strength and ofcourse In's STAR :) (BTW In was lovely in the emotional scenes) I am reminded of the first time I saw Jimmy in bad buddy; even though he played the supporting character he was so memorable.. Dont be upset with me for blabbering only about him this time - I am having a major fan moment! Its Thap for me in ep 5! My heart is full :) "When we like someone just seeing them lights up the whole room" (# ^ . ^ #)
In shows like this, I am really wondering who is writing the script and whether it is a matter of ignorant people…
bad editing.. i second that. was having a hard time following the whole dynamic between Mild and Knight in context of the incident brought up in the last episode. super weird dynamic
Just small trivia: The house shown in the 1930's back story is the same as rati's house in memoir of rati and i think the water body in front of the house i remember seeing it in one scene of most beautiful count... Also the reference of Thai / French conflict from the 30's /40's in 2 parellel running shows is intersting
Just started this.. Watched all 3 episodes. I must admit i did skip some of the horror / thriller scenes cause I have a weak heart for that kind of stuff.. But overall love the show; its not your ordinary thai BL no OTT acting. Even the supporting cast is doing so well. I am fully tuned in and looking forward to the next episode!
I dont understand one thing.. Why does SSY not recognize SY when he is forcefully pulled in to the room. Same for SWL why doesnt he recognize GT when they are about to do the deed. Do they turn blind or something.. Is it suppose to be dark in the room? Even if it is if you are spending every day with that person you dont need to see who they are to be completely oblivious to mistake them for a stranger.. Is it explained in the book?
I for the life of me couldn't get through the novel. I read until the part CC told WSW he wanted to sleep with…
I have skipped a lot too.. but after the Yue Yue reveal, the mother passes away > they make up > go on an elaborate holiday (to the states) > then settle down in their daily life > then the kidnapping > the sister and her two kids shows up > acceptance of CC's family > the arrest - this is more than last 1/3 of the book i think..
I literally couldn’t stand either CC or WSW in the book. Both of them were so toxic and flawed. CC was just…
Exactly I thought the same, the character needed a psychiatrist for his addiction to sex.. even his parents and sister thought so.. Remember the sister saying (I think) who would want to be with him, he is crazy the other is a weirdo they are made for each other... lol

Thats still the decent part. All hell breaks loose after that.. So good decision to not continue.. For me it was the same i started reading the book after watching the first 4 episodes wanted to get ahead. I kept reading it with the progress of the show and ruined my experience of the show. I just had to know how the book ends so didnt drop it but that stuff was so disgusting even after skipping pages it was hard to flush it all out.

If they decided to follow the novel closely they would have to make a porn film or several for that matter as there is so much tasteless content in the book.. lol! The book is thematic around sex, punishment, torture, possession and power wrapped with the label of love. After reading all your comments i am reminded of a few more gruesome details... The show on the other hand though flawed tickles you and leaves you wanting for more..
What are your opinions on the character portrayals in the novel versus the series? Do you prefer one over the…
The book is 1200+ pages long. To compare the intensity the characters are very loosely based on the book like the show says 'adapted'. They have picked key events from the book and threaded them together in the story . The characters are much darker especially CC in the book (very much sexualized). There are several chapters which go in to graphic details of the sexual acts some difficult to read. I consider a lot of it sexual abuse, BDSM type punishment, no boundaries even among characters who are friends. There is racism in the book which is humorized and I may be forgetting a bunch of stuff to call it out here The show is more mature and sensitive given the book was written in 2014. The characters have been sensitized and appear much softer when compared to the book.
Hey everyone.. I have been confused about whether i should watch this one inspite of the rave reviews.. Heard terrific stuff about it but was not inclined to watch it since I dont enjoy censored adaptations. they feel like they are neither here nor there... but after reading recent chats about this show and the comments here I so badly want to watch it.. please advise
