I don't think so. I think that both he and Mew feel threatened by each other because they are basically the antithesis of everything the other one believes. And if one of them is happy or gets what he wants, doesn't that mean that the other one is wrong and deserves misery (no, it doesn't, but these are dumb college kids who don't know any better - yet. They'll learn eventually).

But that's just my two cents.

Aw thanks! I appreciate it - and I don't blame people, I am very long winded, It's a real problem lol.

I am very skeptical of that happening personally but we will see!

I do not think he does, but I think it's possible that at some point he might. I too think that if he does the realization will come after Sand has already washed his hands of him, though...and it will come after Ray uses and discards Sand enough times that even Sand's unending patience will be exhausted. Because he's going to keep doing it.

I don't know if you watched the trailer but there is definitely a scene from there coming up between Sand and Ray and it's...not pretty lol. I will not say more in case you don't know or don't want to know.

Frankly I'm on Boston's side. The way he went about things was awful but lbr, it's something Sand needed to hear. And maybe he needed to see just how violently Ray reacted to have it really penetrate.

There's just no point sticking around waiting for a dude who is focused on someone else. And the sooner Sand learns that the better (although I doubt he'll learn it right away - we've still got at least four trailer scenes with them to get through after all).

To be clear, I am not blaming Ray for his feelings. I will blame him if he continues to use Sand knowing for sure that Sand likes him more (and I think we all know he will), but I don't blame him for liking Mew while fooling around with Sand when he thinks that it's all fun and games.

I think we all know Sand'll be suckered right back in, too. I said I'd defend his wrongs and I'm fully prepared to defend this one, I just wish he wouldn't, lol.

I still don't think Ray's gonna give up his crush. Whether or not Mew ever reciprocates (and I waffle back and forth on that) I think he'll hold onto his love for Mew until it's all he has left. My one curiosity is if we're gonna get a situation where when that happens he realizes he no longer wants it, but it's too late to do anything about it (right now I lean towards him still wanting it, but it's only ep 5).

Should Boston have been that cruel about it? Nope, and I really need to know why he is so bitter about the whole thing. Like yesterday. But I still don't really think he did anything wrong, per se. I know, unpopular. But well. I like the guy who creates the most mess, and Boston is reigning champ.

ETA I will say that the way he escalated it was insane, though. Boston, please stop telling everyone you took photos of your two friends kissing (and video of more? still curious why he's insisting that Mew and Ray slept together. Is it just that he doesn't understand how kissing someone doesn't lead to sex or did we not get everything or is he just doing the fling shit at the wall and see what sticks thing? Come on show spill) that is creepy af and literally the only one in the room who won't judge you for it is Nick (ask him why).

I hope I am. Because if they didn't want me to take the bullying portions more seriously they really should have left pedophilia accusations out of it.

Nope! I like BostonNick for endgame too. In fact they're the only couple I can currently see as endgame - they're very similar and I can see them working out.

I'd love this.

I really want Sand and Mew to interact for more than the five seconds they did when Ray was being drunk & belligerent. Perhaps if I'm very lucky they'll interact without Ray present at all! *dreams*

Look, I am capable of shutting off my brain and just enjoying the fun so this is the last I will say about it but: I am a little confused by how fast Sailom seems to be over all the things Kang did to him. And I am expressly talking about the parents group chat and what he had posted there. Has anyone retracted that? Can Sailom ever go back to tutoring kids or...?

This annoys me. I feel like the scope of what Kang was doing deserves more from Sailom than one moment of hesitation before climbing up on his bike followed by a ton of longing looks, but hey, maybe it's just me who considers messing with my livelihood a no go.

That dispensed with, the show is cute enough. It might not be shaping into what I hoped it would be but I do like Perth and Chimon and they are doing well with the material they've been given. I hope we see some more meat but even if we don't I won't complain again. :D

Last Twilight wasn't really on my radar but I recently watched the trailer again and I'm kinda into it. My three were this, Only Friends, and Dangerous Romance.

I have been thinking so too - not necessarily about the crime but that what we're seeing is the past. There's just something about how the intros and outros have been working that makes me think so. Especially the one with the blue screen backgrounds.

Ha, yes. I love romance, it's my primary genre, and I won't pretend that 99.9% of the time I don't want a happy ending with the main couple together and in love. That's what I watch romance for.

But I don't expect it here. I expect that we'll get people winding up single or in relationships they don't really want but would rather have than nothing, or even people *in* the relationship they want but still not fully satisfied, maybe because the other person doesn't really want them or because there are other external problems or because they're just not good for each other. We might even get people who want to be with each other but have to walk away for their own well-being. And it's very possible that the couples we *do* see at the end won't be the ones we started with.

Generally I don't do this kind of thing, mostly because if I'm watching romance I want the escapism, not a depressing reflection of real life, haha. But I'm seated for this for reasons other than romance (although to be fair I also don't think that this show was marketed as a romance at all - I think that people just see the actors and assume), and my main hope is that we see some real growth out of thee characters (yes, all of them) as individuals, and that if it doesn't end in a totally happy place that it at least ends in satisfying way that doesn't make me regret the hours put into watching and talking about this show.

And for Sand to be happy. If he ends the show in a bad place I might never forgive Jojo the insult (joking. Mostly 😋).

I think hoping for Boston to suddenly because "good" is a fool's game.

But honestly I think thinking of any of these characters as wholly "good" or "bad" is a fool's game. None of them are, they are all going to do things that we do and don't agree with, they're all going to be messes and hurt each other and break things that shouldn't be broken. This isn't going to be the same kind of BL people are used to.

I don't want to PSA about it but I do think that if people want something like Dangerous Romance (which I love don't get me wrong it's just a different kind of show) then they might do better to look elsewhere.

And I agree - occasionally it's nice to see this kind of rep onscreen, even if generally I prefer my happy endings.

Oh I hope so!! This is one of the three dramas I was looking forward to most from the 2023 lineup and I am dying for it to start.

For Sat? Sure! For the Sat following? Not a freaking chance (I have a hunch that's when things are going to go completely pear shaped and the real pain is gonna start)

I haven't! Someone mentioned a while ago that there is a camera in the room he and Boston hook up in, and I keep wondering if that will come into play later or if he really was just a one off.

I feel like if they had brought in more guest stars for Boston to hook up with it would be more possible that he wouldn't show up again...but they haven't. So now I'm just waiting to see if something happens.

To be fair The Jungle also isn't as good. It has had a its good points but it's very uneven, and so far this has been consistently good, if not great.

And GMMTV will never stop producing shows with straight couples - they might not do numbers on youtube, but I bet they do well domestically and on other streaming services.

My favorite tends to switch week by week (except for Sand who will always be my number one no matter what he does. I've imprinted). Top was higher up this week because i really enjoyed watching him tear his way through Boston and Nick, plus I liked him and Sand fighting. I am here to be entertained and he helped deliver this week. Boston was towards the top of my list last week for the same reason (even though this week he mostly made me cringe so he went back down).

Idk anything is possible. :) I have high hopes for everyone at least kissing everyone else, even if they don't end up together (I have been leaning pretty firmly towards an everyone alone ending so far, although I briefly entertained RayMew as a possibility).
