It's an unpopular opinion but I'm not sure any of them will. We might get a situation where the most we can expect out of any of the three current couples is friendship (although another unpopular opinion, I think the likelihood of them ending up together is BostonNick > TopMew > SandRay, lol. Granted it's only ep 4, who knows how I feel in two weeks, let alone eight). I know, I know, GMMTV and popularity, etc, but they *did* give Jojo and co the green light to do what they like...

you are not alone - I ship pretty much every permutation of the main six. Except RayMew. For whatever reason I can't get behind that one. Sand/Everyone is my main thing, but really, just about any other ship will do for me. For once I don't even care if the couples shake out differently than everyone expects (and I hope they do, actually. That would be fun).

There's gotta be more to it. Otherwise Top is dumber than dumb lol. And maybe was just looking for a reason to do what he did with Boston...

Lol he's gonna hurt Sand aplenty. Give it an episode or two.

I don't, aside from he's pretty. *shrug*

I got Top but I'm nothing like him, lol. I resonate most with Sand (aside from his inexplicable attraction to Ray since I would not touch that hot mess with a ten foot pole and he's already all in, the weirdo).

Ah well. Top it is! I guess I am not exactly above the kind of petty revenge that has him smashing Boston after learning (or does he???? VIDEO NOW) that Mew and Ray had sex.

I don't think he's a master manipulator, but I do think that he is attempting to manipulate Top and possibly Ray. I don't know if I yet believe it's for any reason other than he likes the attention from Ray (if he's manipulating him - I waffle), but he's for sure testing Top to see how long he'll stick around.

As much fun as it is to think he's playing everyone right now, I think probably he's just...a guy who reads a lot and think that that's a good substitute for experience. He thinks that he knows the game he's playing but he doesn't, not quite. But he's gonna learn, and yes, I do think he's gonna lose his shit a bit (or a lot).

And the fun thing about what Boston told Top is that it is actually scarily plausible. Mew has already reset their relationship because he's decided he wants a do over; why wouldn't he reset his virginity the same way (which whatever, that's his prerogative as far as I'm concerned, for me personally it wouldn't be the not being a virgin thing but the fact that he's been saying he doesn't want to progress physically with Top *because* he's a virgin. Like, just say you don't want to have sex until you have a connection if that's the case, dude. Don't use your virginity like a carrot and then get upset when the person you're doing that with treats it like a carrot)? Especially if he thinks that the only people who know otherwise are him and Ray, and of course Ray isn't gonna say a thing because he's too in love and frankly, what Mew wants to disclose about his sex life is his business.

I am definitely looking forward to seeing what's on that recording that Boston showed Top, because he was so mad that I have to believe that there was something really juicy on there, lol.

I'm here for the mess, whatever it is. And I also firmly believe if Mew and Ray haven't made it yet, they *will*. Probably at just the right time to put a stick of metaphorical dynamite in several relationships at once, lol.

AAAAAH I love this show so much. What am I going to do after next week when it's no longer on my screen? It's my favorite thing airing right now and I did *not* expect that.

First, the fun stuff: Nawin is a hot mess of a himbo and I love him so much, oh my gosh. What a character! I love that they clearly knew that they had one shot with this guy and they just went whole hog - he's a scene stealer for sure. Even during Charn's little emotional breakdown in the plane I was still kinda watching Nawin because he makes the best expressions. His desire to beat up Tinn amuses me - he's the perfect mix of ridiculous and dangerous and I just adore him already.

Okay, I said a few episodes ago that I would be disappointed when the show went the inevitable "it was Thatthep who killed Tonkhao all along and made Thaenthai take the blame to save his own skin" route, and I would just like to take this moment to eat my words and say I was wrong. I am not disappointed. At all. I thought that the show would not do the work to make me feel for Thaenthai beyond having his dad beat the crap out of him, and while that is horrible, don't get me wrong (there is no excuse for beating anyone like that, Thatthep is a monster), it doesn't excuse how much of a horrible person Thaenthai was shaping up to be. But, well. Then the show did the work that I wasn't expecting. It showed us that Thaenthai doesn't actually want to be the way he is, but he thinks that he has to, both to get his dad's attention (and in a sick way, to show him that he can fulfil his wishes in some manner), and to try to convince himself that he doesn't care. But he does. That's the entire problem. And honestly, credit to the actor. Because I genuinely don't care that Thee was speaking ot the audience last ep about how Thaenthai is a good person, actually - I want to *see* it. And I did. In his breakdown over the gardener that he tried to hide as disdain. In his sheer joy getting away from his father's thumb. In how easy it seemed for him to leave his rage behind the second he was out of that stifling environment. And in how much it broke him when his dad went after Thee instead. So yeah, eating my words. They got me. I need that guy to have a good ending, please.

And oh, Charn. Charn, Charn, Charn. I never doubted for a second that he was going to try to handle Thatthep on his own and keep Tinn out of it. He might try to pretend he's still ruthless but that man broke him right open and there's no stuffing the thing that emerged back in without another major loss. And no, his own life doesn't count. I loved that whole last scene and everything it said about where he is now as a person - how he couldn't look Tinn in the eye while trying so so hard to lie to him, how even though he was smiling his shark smile his eyes were welling and he was visibly breaking apart. And of course Tinn didn't buy it for an instant - from the very beginning the man has seen right through Charn almost every time he tried to lie, he only ever responds to him well when he's being honest (even if the honesty isn't something Tinn wants to hear), I'm incredibly glad that they went this route rather than having Tinn buy that Charn was only in it for money and power still, because it would have felt like a disservice to both the characters. But I liked that he tried, because it gave Film a chance to shine yet again (not that he needs it - he's been rocking every scene this entire drama).

I also really liked the bit about the things you do coming back. Charn has spent all this time firmly believing that good, kind, idealistic people only get punished, so it was nice to see him realize that that's not always the case (I myself am a firm believer in karma - things you do might not come back right away but eventually everything works its way around. I believe that. Plus you just never know whose life you're impacting so isn't it better to just try to do it in a positive way if you can? I think so).

I have no clue what to expect going forward, although I hope that Charn has more of a plan than it seems. I know you're feeling self sacrificial now that you've rediscovered your humanity, my dude, but your braincells should still work. Being good doesn't have to mean being stupid so please tell me you have a plan. Also I very much need Thatthep to get his comeuppance. That man is so vile.

Only one episode left! I don't want it to end but I'm really excited to see what happens.

If you say so! Hard to read tone over the interwebs. 😁

I mean, spec only but it's always easier to keep doing a thing you've done once. *shrug*

I hope it's not a spoiler spoiler though. I love speculation but I don't want to be actually spoiled for things.

Seriously? It's a TV show.

Yes, exactly! He was scarred by his own experiences and projecting a little, plus he knew how hard life had been for him as a gay man, he didn't want Li Ming to have to go through it, too.

But that's why Li Ming is so important to Jim, because he represents something more hopeful, something brighter. It scared Jim but part of his arc was learning to deal with that fear and let his nephew live his own life. In many ways. I thought it was very well done.

A spoiler or a guess?

Although I figured, I would not trust people saying they know anything.

Yes I know that's who I mean.

Nope. But my gut feeling is he won't let go regardless.

I think Sand needs to get it on with everyone. I really hope he just doesn't stick to Ray.

*Sand is the type of person If you hurt him he is going to hold a grudge for life and hurt you worse than you did him.*

Man I hope so. Because right now he's being set up as the most pathetic character lol.

I do hope that it isn't some big Ray & Mew secret, mostly because one person crossing their fingers is enough, lol. But I guess we'll see.

Me? I'd be highkey amused if Mew and Ray were banging the whole time, except that I don't like being tricked in this way. It's one thing in a heist movie or something, but in a soap, I want to be in on the joke, not blindsided with everyone else. I want to be sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for everything to hit the fan, like I am about the Top/Boston hookup, not have the rug pulled out from under my own feet.

For me I think I just don't care for Off's style of acting. He's not horrible in the past flashbacks though.

I've never seen that, but that could be interesting.
