Yes exactly. I have seen 3 Will Be Free, NLMG and The Warp Effect and so I feel like I have an idea what we're gonna be getting into. Still plan on watching Mama Gogo, The Player, and Gay OK Bangkok at some point.

But what I will say from what I have watched is that he is very very good at pulling a realistic, grounded performance out of his actors. Situations might be absurd but the characters tend to feel like real people. And I like his messages about sex work, discrimination, etc. I fully expect there will be some of that here. He just hasn't failed me yet.

I am trying not to expect much out of this when it comes to stuff like characters or couples, but I can't help but expect that it'll be a good ride, just because Jojo is at the helm.

Ha, yes, I mean so far my favorite bit of the trailer is Ray telling Sand that he's not allowed to walk away so you know, let that say about me what it will. We love a mess (and by "we" I mean "me". I love a mess).

I have been wondering if it's just marketing, since First and Khaotung seem to be extremely popular. I still suspect Mew is our main main character, so the story will revolve around him and his relationships.

And the thing is, I trust Jojo. Yeah it'll be messed up and toxic, but it'll also have something to say. It's not just drama and toxicity for its own sake (not that that is necessarily bad either, sometimes you just want the trash and that's fine). I haven't watched a ton of stuff by Jojo as of yet, but everything I have seen is engaging and (mostly) grounded in reality. The characters at least feel like real people, even if their situations are extreme. It's half the reason I'm so hyped.

And if I'm wrong and it does wind up being drama and toxicity for its own sake? Lol, I'm still in what can I say I love a good mess. :D

If you think that it was the sexual content that made those stories bad, then we have nothing to talk about.

If you don't enjoy, I do hope you just stop watching. There's nothing to be gained from making yourself watch something you're not into.

I can't help but wonder if First and Khaotung featuring so heavily in the trailer is a ploy, haha. I just thought the story seemed more like Mew's but they certainly aren't showcasing that here. Then again it's just a teaser of what's to come, so who knows.

I for one am very excited, and a little surprised to see things that I offhand thought might be the case being implied here. That always jazzes me.

Honestly the only thing I'm bothered about is the week to week wait. It's gonna be torture. And I still expect no endgame ships, even more so after that mess (well except maybe the lesbians. They actually looked fairly happy and stable). 😁

There's always going to be a place for cute BL. This isn't the place, however. This is supposed to showcase a certain type of lifestyle, which yes, heavily features sex.

If it's too much for some people, there's all kinds of cute stuff that's airing right now.

Oh, I think Tin sees it. More than once he's pried at Charn because he can see that there's something there beneath the surface, I think that after the fire he's just too mad to remember that / doesn't feel like giving him the benefit of the doubt, and I don't blame him. I do think that Charn was scared for Tin and grandma after the dog and blamed himself and so did what he thought would help them in the best way he knew how. He believes that playing their games is the only way to beat people like the senator. I'm not sure that's true, or if it is, the price is very steep.

Your second paragraph: yes! Thinking about it I agree. The two of them are representing extremes and they need to meet somewhere in the middle, or maybe closer to Tin's end but still not so far over.

I wonder if we're gonna see a shift soon, since they only have eight episodes in which to do it. They both ended the episode thinking hard about the other one's POV, so that says something.

Yeah that's the same tweet I linked I think.

I have seen on tumblr that one or both of them might be on the OST but I dunno where that info is coming from. I don't speak Thai so all my info comes second and third hand lol.

Guess we'll find out eventually - it wouldn't surprise me if he was singing but it also wouldn't surprise me if he wasn't. Can go either way. :)

IDK I still kinda think Dangerous Romance will take the Friday slot and OF will be Sat,

Mostly because Enigma wraps up next week, which would leave the 12th open for a new show, and don't they tend to drop trailers about 2 weeks before the show airs? Although who knows, I hope we get DR soon too!

Guess we'll find out Monday :)

Clip of them saying Monday for trailer, but nothing about when the OST will be released, just that there's a song with a descriptor of "Ah", presumably sung by one or both, maybe?

Cute ep. What can I say, I'm charmed.

Ooh really? I thought that they were just saying that one (or both? idk) are on it, not that it was getting released yet.

All this time waiting for the trailer and now I can't believe it's actually coming - I keep thinking that they're definitely not talking about that, it's gotta be something else. LOL.

Is anyone else kinda nervous or am I just weird?

ETA: also apparently First and Khaotung also confirmed trailer Monday, so that's everyone but Neo getting in on the "watch this space" action.

While I actually really dislike the theory that Thaenthai didn't hit the niece but is being made to take the fall, I could see the show going there. That said, he totally had a dog killed to terrorize an old women so he's still awful. He needs to get away from his dad stat though. He can be awful and in a terrible situation - the two things aren't mutually exclusive.

Charn is terrifying. Tin was utterly correct to lay into him the way he did, and Rose to follow it up with a more gentle, less angry censure - he doesn't think of other people. Someone could have gotten really hurt by his stunt. I appreciate that Tin knew instantly and called him on it - I like that he's decent but not stupid or naïve. He has Charn pegged (and honestly I think that's part of the reason Charn obsesses about him so much - he sees him and calls him on his bullshit but will also turn around and offer him a shoulder, or listen to him when he's making sense). I am so curious who is going to bend here. Is Charn going to soften or is Tin going to start caring less about what's just in favor of people getting what they deserve? My guess is still Charn, but I could honestly see it going either way right now and I love that.

And I hope we're gonna see even more of Rose and Maya. I love them.

The noise I just made.

Okay wild speculation time:

Pisaeng turning the crystal was him going back to the timeline *he's* from.

Would that be too wild to do to us in the final two eps?

Mew. Would bet cash money.

Either way I'll be there with bells on. :D

That is what I thought it might be. I hope so!
