Question- Phupha's been shot and Tian's injured Who called his fatherDr Nam ?
I can only think that the phone scene was either from an earlier point in the evening, before Phu gathered up the guys to go to Ghost Hill or it was a weak writing point in the script...
yeah but this is not really a case of survivors guilt. He felt guilty coz he was in fact partially responsible…
I just remember there were more than two cars on the road at the time. Also, she was dropped off there by the bus, which could not have happened on the race strip which had been arranged to be closed to other traffic...
Eu agrado com tudo o que você escreveu. Esse show é magnífico e ficarei triste em vê-lo acabar. (do inglês…
Compreendo. Pessoas que leram o livro dizem que a série o melhora ao tornar Tian mais autoconsciente...
Em inglês, existe uma expressão: "labour of love." Acho que isso se aplica muito bem à situação desta série. P'Aof e todas as pessoas envolvidas criaram muito mais do que um programa de televisão básico.
Well, episode 9 wasn't as bad as episode 8, but this show just doesn't have very good writing and it becomes clear…
My limited understanding is that the series is largely staying true to the events as they occurred in the novel, but they've made adjustments to the characterisations...
The writing in episode 9 truly amazed me. They were able to make me dislike Tian (not coz of his own behavior,…

60% of viewer age group is 18-24 years old. Only 22% from age group 25-34 years old and less then 10% for 35 years…
At 53, I see both of them as having something to learn from the other...
Thus far, Tian has acted impulsively to address his internal conflicts, changing his roles to do so. Phu has been attached to roles to fufill his idea of his priorities and has consistently supressed his own internal needs. I am hoping that Phu's time with and deep love for Tian (because Phu is deeply in love with Tian, no matter what his actions may indicate to some) lead Phu to realise that he has actually lived his life too much for other people and ideals, just in the opposite way from Tian. Ultimately, I hope that they can both find themselves in a more balanced place where they honour themselves and their principles equally, and see that they are both one another's best partners to have a relationship that fosters and nurtures the very best in both of them.
That is ultimately, my personal hallmark of any truly positive and healthy relationship in our lives, whether it be between family members, friends, or romantic/loving partners: the dynamic inspires both people to bring their best selves forward as much as possible. The best relationships in our lives inspire us to be better people, ourselves.
Episode 9 is certainly the epic and the crown star of the series. I could not help my tears streaming especially…
Agreed. GMMTV has outdone any other BL series they've backed and distributed with this series. Ultimately, though, I think the real credit goes to P'Aof and everyone else directly involved with the series for crafting this labour of love. =)

In Canada, I believe that Tian would not be in legal jeopardy for Torfun's death. The distinction comes in when and where Torfun was hit and killed. From the scene, it was evident that Prem was on the way to the racing road that had been arranged (from the sight of multiple cars travelling at the same time), and not being engaged in the race at that time.
If Torfun had been killed DURING the race by Prem, it would be a different matter. The crime at the time, though, happened BEFORE the race in a location completely unrelated to it. That, I believe, would leave the legal responsibility solely on Prem. Torfun's aunt was also given money over the accident. In Canada, that fact would also likely see any civil action against anyone involved rendered moot.
This isn't a comment about Tian's ethical obligations but how I think they'd likely play out in a court. It's also not an approval of the way things went down but a reflection on where things stand after those facts.
I cried... I literally cried with episode 9.. my heart still hurts.. My goodness... How am I supposed to live…
I've cried with almost every episode since the third one. Sometimes they've been tears of sadness, sometimes they've been tears of happiness, and sometimes they've been tears because I've just been so deeply moved by what I've seen. No other BL series has stirred my emotions as much as this one has.
Damn, still overwhelmed by EP9. Tian's charachter development is amazing, but having watched EP9, i just realized,…
Wonderful post, as always, Andaman! I was so deeply affected by yesterday's episode that I couldn't even put together a larger post about it. I'll be content with adding side comments, this time around.
I agree with everything you've written about Phupha and his motivations. It's a core element of his psyche. One thing I will add is that, just as Phu has imparted so much to Tian, I hope that Tian will also influence Phu, in the last episode.
