I don't think you needed a spoiler for that. And I agree with what you wrote. 🙂

I would add that some of us are careful about what we put on our lists, and what we watch. I won't watch certain things or even add them to my list if I think I would drop a series. I think I have only dropped a couple series in the years I have been on here, and it pretty rare for me to hate something after I started it.

I skim a few of the comments for the series, and study the description and tags to get a feel for what is in the series. I don't necessarily not watch something if the comments are negative, I am more looking for things like "the captions stopped after episode 5" and maybe other certain issues F̶r̶a̶n̶k̶'s̶ b̶a̶d̶ w̶i̶g̶ a̶n̶d̶ o̶n̶l̶y̶ w̶a̶n̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ c̶a̶k̶e̶ t̶o̶ e̶a̶t̶?̶ H̶i̶g̶h̶-̶f̶i̶v̶e̶ b̶y̶ t̶h̶e̶ B̶L̶ l̶e̶a̶d̶s̶ i̶n̶ t̶h̶e̶ f̶i̶n̶a̶l̶ e̶p̶i̶s̶o̶d̶e̶ i̶n̶s̶t̶e̶a̶d̶ o̶f̶ a̶ k̶i̶s̶s̶? like a series that ended up being a straight guy Bromance instead of a BL series as indicators that I probably would not want to watch something.

Not every BL series gets an automatic add to my list, which I think some people do for other types of series, or for certain actors/actresses. I bet there is a lot of that in K-drama.

I took her to be the ultimate helicopter mom who never let Fire do, say, or experience anything on his own. She had his life planned right down to the minute, and when it wasn't her perfect version of his life, she had a meltdown.

I thought it was great! It was supposed to be a light and sweet series, and it was exactly that.

Same here.

I think your first paragraph is a good take on this series. It was a bit over the top in places, but I know people in real life similar to Jade.

I sorta agree with the side couple thoughts, but despite the weird leadup that scene was pretty hot! Good thing I didn't have my smart watch on , or it would have been going off like Jade's watch.

The Saint-Zee love scenes in Why RU were pretty racy, and these were at least as good. Domundi (or the actors) aren't shy about intimacy in their shows. These guys sure are comfortable with each other, I am not sure how that being friends in real life doesn't make it a bit weird. You would have to go from kissing your best friend (with tongue) to just hanging out as buddies? I am not sure I could do that. I would probably develop feelings of some type...

He is so gorgeous, no wonder he is a model!

Your post probably should be marked spoiler.

That said, those time skips were a bit unnecessary. I don't think they added anything to the story.

My brief version of what should have been the last 2 episodes.

EP11: They fight and break up. Maybe Mhok is gone for a few months to train as a chef in Hawaii, and that is how Day realizes he made a mistake. They could even be talking/texting as friends on occasion, not a one-sided complete block because our feelings were bruised. Like adults, they eventually come to their senses and talk things through. During that time in between breakup and makeup, Day matures enough to be in a relationship. Mhok comes back to Thailand.

Ep12: The wedding still happens, maybe a year into the future. Day owns the bookstore, and is more independent, but he is still blind. Mhok has moved back and due to his terrific skills now works as a chef under Day/Night's Mom. He will take over the family business if he continues to succeed. Because he is part of the family, he now can take care of Day financially. At Night's wedding, Mhok/Day are so gaga in love they stand up and promise on stage to be together forever. On impulse, they leave the wedding, and take a Honeymoon trip back to the mountain. This time the sun is shining, and Day can feel the warmth of the sun.

The end.

Oh god no. Didn't we have enough of that in Our Skyy?

Yea that was so funny. The tough guy who is "wrong" for Day and "not his type" treats Day like a king.

The supposedly warm and cuddly August treated Day like crap, but somehow he was Day's type. He even started out being mean to Day, and didn't even want to partner with him. I wasn't sure by the kiss scene whether August was even gay? August seemed so uncomfortable with that minimal intimacy.

Day is completely confused. Maybe he got a brain injury in the car crash along with his eye issues! He sure acts brain damaged at times.

Day dumping Mhok was very very irrational and extreme. I could see them (no pun intended) arguing about Mhok not being completely truthful. A mature couple, after the initial argument, would have sat down and Mhok could have explained his side of things.

Day should have accepted that Mhok just wanted to be with his boyfriend and not 2000 miles away. Day should have realized that Mhok has separation anxiety due to his past. Why couldn't they go to Hawaii together for a year or two? Why wouldn't Day accept Mhok working in Thailand ? None of it made sense, other than it was drama for drama sake.

Overall, Day was a jerk to Mhok who did nothing but treat Day with kindness. I don't think it is pity to want to help someone or to stay with someone you love. Of course Day was just a jerk in general to Night, Mom, the other caretakers, and about everyone else in this series, so being a jerk toward Mhok probably comes naturally.

I loved this series, but that dude Day needs some counseling!

It does feel a bit unnecessary. It was almost like "we need to fill 30 minutes, come up with something".

Despite what others say, I thought this was a great series! It had a unique story, and the actors were all great. Some have complained about the repetitive nature of the story, but there is a reason for this, you have to watch and listen for the differences during these scenes. You gain some knowledge about the story with each cycle. There are many sad parts but many happy parts as well.

In Ep12, they could have done a double date with Sprite/First and Zee/Salmon. Wasted opportunity to put them all in the same room and resolve at least one issue.

This started out a bit ridiculous with the Tammy stuff, but it turned out to be a great series!

I liked this a lot, I want part two!

This was great, I loved it!

He reminds me of Fluke Natouch when he smiles or does a certain facial expression. Like he could be his brother.

» "After SOTUS, he admitted that his intimate scenes were very uncomfortable and just wanted to finish them ASAP."

I am gay, and if I was an actor doing a love scene with a woman, I would be uncomfortable. Heck, I might even be uncomfortable doing a love scene with another guy for fear I might get too into the scene. You also might be uncomfortable if you did not like your acting partner.

» "when asked if he enjoys watching a certain series with straight and gay couples, he responded with 'I skip all gay couple scenes as they're not things guys would enjoy watching."

Similarly, I do the same (but opposite) thing as he does. I feel uncomfortable watching straight couples make out and go raid the refrigerator or something when those scenes come on.

» "What does that tell you about him?"

I think that makes him a guy who is attracted to women, just like I am a guy attracted to guys.

I am not defending him exactly. I am not his fan or whatever you may call it, but I have enjoyed a couple of his series. Maybe he shouldn't have said all this out loud, but different cultures have different levels of politeness and openness when speaking in public. I feel a lot of this is way overblown. If he really hated gays, he wouldn't be doing BL series, there are many actors who have never done a BL series, nor felt the need to. He doesn't have to take the job if he is that uncomfortable in that situation. He could even leave GMM if they have pigeonholed him into being a BL actor.

I don't know the whole story (read parts of it), but I think a lot of these incidents are things taken out of context, or people being pestered (bullied even) into these situations. Actors can have a bad day just like everyone else, or just get fed up with hearing the same insipid question over and over again. These actors are just humans, fans need to get a life and worry about their own issues instead of what someone may or may not have said.

I wasn't sure I was going to like this, but I did enjoy it a lot. This seems like a different type of role for Krist, but I haven't seen all of his series. He has a different set of facial expressions, and even looks a bit different in some way. He is a good actor, but must have got some good coaching for this role as well.

On a purely superficial note, Krist must be tiny, at least he appears so compared to Fluke/Gawin. According to the GMM page, there is only a 9cm height difference between the two, but it looks like more than that.
