Pretty difficult to claim you have watched all 10 episodes when as of today only 6 have been released. Your comparison of Pond and Boss totally lacks credibility or support.

I don't think Moo just accepts it when Fu announces their relationship to the staff. Watch his face and listen to the tone of his response. But he's hardly likely to make a fuss in such a public forum. As to the finding out Fu was his text buddy, well that was never one sided and it was never premeditated by Fu.

Your coffee with one sugar and one creamer is ready, sir.
So no hidden agenda, huh?
No, not at all.

So silly that it's sweet.
(But Jang isn' buying any of it!)

Not to mention neither Boss nor Noeul need makeup to make them look anything. They are already beautiful.

Yeah im pretty sure thats not what Im saying. Maybe the ratings would be higher if more international fans had access through platforms they already pay for to watch the show so they could rate it. No one thinks its the content. That certainly deserves higher than the 7.8 thats showing here.

Their loss!

I also wonder if international audiences not being able to pick it up on more streamers is having an effect? VPN and using VIU is one thing but watching it that way using the free access and dealing with the ads is a turn off. I’ve bitten the bullet and paid for the premium plan but if you already subscibe to Viki or iQIYI etc you don’t want to pay for more.

Keep going. The first episode is very over the top but it settles down. Episode 4 so far is the standout. I think it just keeps getting better. It brings out new sides to Noeul and Boss and they are terrific. They are naturally funny and playful.

I liked Me and Thee but I like this better. This one plays it straight for laughs without getting into the sentimentality of Me and Thee.

I know one can overthink this and it is only a tv show, but Fu does make the remark that the cocoa was encouragement from Moo, something Tutor M recommended HE do. I don't know what's actually what, but I'm having fun watching it all. Too impatient for Saturday, or Sunday where I am!

I think the GO GO at the end of the text should be enough for Moo. He's not an idiot and I actually wondered if Fu didn' add that deliberately?

Makes heaps of sense. A clue for all of us.

Thank you! Something a native English speaker like me would never know but just adds important info!

Is anyone able to explain why Fu’s text to “Tutor M” translates as “vewy hard”? It’s done twice so it’s deliberate.

Thanks for the banana explanation. It gives more meaning and humour to some of the lines.

And can anyone tell me, are Moo Moo Jellies a real thing or just made up for this story?

Jens can you run commentary on all the episodes please. I understand your take on it better than the actual series. And I want to like it!

Although I would call finger sucking "erotic" more than "vulgar", but that's just me!

I think I am losing a lot in translation with this one (Thai to English). I got to the end of episode 3 and just didn't feel that what was being said about In's character being chameleon like had been supported by what the subtitles were translating. Or maybe it is the script. Plus the humour obviously isn't translating which is probably no ones fault. I bet writing subtitles to convey meaning and nuance is a bitch of a job.

And is the club in a sleepy village or a city? I am totally confused by that.

You’ve positioned the bar to suit your interpretation. I don’t think I said anything about Fu not being green. I said none of the characters skew to the extremes of the red/green colour spectrum. In fact I think Fu currently is probably closer to the green end than the red. Bobbing around in the murky brown with the rest of us “low bar” decent humans!

You obviously don’t like the character of Fu and that’s ok. We can’t love everyone in this life. Even fictional characters!

Take out the word "exceptionally" and say a green flag character is one who tends to demonstrates good and healthy behaviours in creating relationships. You know, the type of relationships most normal people have: trying to be kind and decent. I don't get they have to exceed expectations.

I agree that the flag term flattens. I like your choice of word there as the labels reduce characters to an either or. Black or white. Good or bad. Angel or devil. No wriggle room. No nuance. None of the character in this show present yet at either end of this colour spectrum.

But I can see why some people might choose to use the word green for Fu because he hasn't yet, I don't know, raped his boyfriend like in Double Helix, or set out to completely ruin a decent man's life on a whim through lies and manipulation like in To My Shore, or gone down that tired line of make them fall in love with me then dump them like in Revenged Love (or even in LITA where totally "green flag" Rain thinks he can do it with Phayu), or have sex (or pretend to) with your own boyfriend's oldest friend to destroy your relationship, also Revenged Love.

Next to those scant examples Fu is the colour of lime coola. And for all his faults, tick off all the things he did right when Moo was drunk. I can think of 6 without going back and rewatching the scene. It's comedy.

The translation definitely says I have 3 siblings. As I said, I’m nitpicking but you point out the semantic error that causes!

This is a tiny little nitpick but I do wish they'd get the English translation right that Fu has 2 siblings not 3. Maybe in Thai he is saying we are 3 siblings but it isn't being translated that way. I keep waiting for that 4th brother to appear! Ok got that off my chest. Moving on!

But I do love that it is Boss in this show who gets to do the "bling bling" eyes he loved Noeul doing as Phukan in BNW (but doesn't do IRL, apparantly).
