Ugh, right??? Like, can people try to be creative about a second season and not always settle for BS relationship drama? And I've seen that comment before about marriage, but this would be in the future anyway. Plus, they can get married in other countries. It took a lot of pushing and fighting in the states, but it's legal here now, so I'm trying to have faith that it won't be too much longer before the new tide comes in for Thailand.

I agree, lots of material for a special episode, though I don't see as much for a season two. I would love to see a special where they get married or something.

Right??? So much actual relationship content! It was so good! I hope other shows in the future take notes, because this is how you write a healthy BL couple and really display their love for one another right up to the last moment.

Just throw them away! (Haha, here's hoping Enchante is decent fun, even if it can't measure up to the same level.)

MDL was the best, most reasonable place to talk about this show, and I'm so happy I got to connect with people here in the comments. I hope we see each other on other pages. This show was magical, and though I was SO angry with Aof over the preview fiasco, I can now officially say this has been one of the best shows I've ever had the pleasure of watching. It was great raving and crying with ya'll!

I honestly could not accept that he'd go for a cop out, but then there were so many people convinced that it was accurate, taking it at face value, and it made me so paranoid. I didn't think it was real, but damn it, there were so few people who agreed with me that I started to doubt myself and spent the whole week in turmoil. >_< Never again!

I know! It's bittersweet to say goodbye, but it was such a great run. I honestly did not think Aof could end the show in a way that made me forgive him for the preview BS and trying to upset us, but damn it if I didn't let go of that anger the moment Pat grabbed Pran and tugged him into the apartment, lol. The end was full of soooooo much good stuff. So I guess we're cool, P'Aof, which is good, because I was never going to watch his work again.

Exactly, haha. By that point, they all knew what was going on but looked the other way. I really appreciate that the end showed that they were coming around. They won't have to keep pretending in front of their families for much longer.

I feel bad for people who are never gonna watch it because of the stupid preview. I hope they find out some day, because even though I was really mad at Aof, the finale was just SO GOOD. So full of love and affection and great moments. Plus it makes for amazing MV material all around. That final scene, oh my god. XD The kitchen counter part. I love them so much. Can't wait to see them in BL stuff in the future. (And yes, they did express wanting that, so enough with the naysayers!)

I'm just here for the collective sigh of relief.

That's a fair argument in favor of Phap. I understand that it isn't romantic jealousy exactly, but it seemed odd that he encouraged him to go make up with his brother, then burst into tears the moment he did. But I do understand that he's hurt to see Maze be gentle and vulnerable with someone else, when he's so harsh with Phap. He should understand, though, that someone like Maze puts up a lot of fronts, and Nueng has known him much longer. It's not like he just met both of them and is only being kind to one of them. But I do understand Phap's feelings being hurt to a degree.

I'm kind of hoping Tod is a red herring, because at this point he's so, so obvious as someone potentially involved. He represents the ridiculously wealthy, which is the main demographic being criticized in the story, and he has a vague explanation for why he has this really nice place. Think about it. If he's working with Tawi, that could be where the money is coming from. Either way Tod is suspicious, and he was weird from the start. Then he was fishing for information, albeit fairly casually. But he might just be an example of the problem.

What was the real conflict with Maze and Nueng? I feel like I'm not fully understanding the issue. Are you telling me that Maze being sad and needy was enough for them to not talk for years? Nueng pretends he's a stranger and acts totally indifferent to him during that time, but what the hell happened to make him do that? I thought Maze must have sabotaged him or something to prevent him from leaving, but he just got upset and cried. I also thought maybe Nueng was realizing Maze had romantic feelings for him, and he got uncomfortable because they're brothers, even if it's not biological. But that doesn't seem to be part of it either.

It did sort of sound like maybe Maze was the one who stopped talking to Nueng, but why didn't Nueng try to talk to Maze? It just made it sound like there was this huge conflict between them, but in the end it seemed to boil down to, "I didn't want you to leave, so I cried and begged you not to. Then we never talked again." Plus whatever it was lasted years, didn't it? And it was wrapped up that easily? Nueng didn't seem all that emotionally invested. It was like, *shrug* "I was never mad at you." Uh, okay, so you consider him your dear family, but you let all this time pass like it was no big deal? And it's resolved so easily, like that was all it took, and now things are just dandy.

I think it's just hard for me to understand how something as simple as someone getting clingy and emotional is enough to cause this huge rift between two people, then a simple, "I'm not mad," fixes the entire thing. So is there something more I didn't catch? Can anyone enlighten me?

Also, Phap, seriously? This guy is his brother, and you encouraged him to make up with him. Why are you crying after he did what you said? Especially when they were like, "We're going back to being family like before." There's still room for a new boyfriend in that scenario.

Am I missing something? Question in a spoiler regarding Maze and Nueng. Also, anyone new to the show, be careful. There are unmarked spoilers below my question.

Thanks! I'm surprised by some of the things they cut out, though it was tighter as far as pacing.

Also, Luck may be a little shady, but he's hot, so he can stay.

Aww, I like it so far! Fingers crossed for future episodes. I really like Dream, too, which is great. I'm always hoping for more cool female characters in BL.

Lmao, that's a nice way of putting it XD

Thank you!

I read that too, but I haven't seen it pop up yet. Anyone out there have a link?
