I was intrigued by your comment and gave it a shot--binged it in one night and loved it! What a great show all around, funny and sexy and actually romantic by the end. The actors killed it too, especially Kaji. If he hadn't played it so funny, his jerk era would've been insufferable but the way he acted made it enjoyable.

His acting and on-screen charisma is insane. I hope he gets a series that's better received so he's more widely appreciated, but I already think he's amazing.

The series meandered all over the place, I admit, but Poom is just a dream. I loved him in My Sweetheart Jom and here he is playing a completely different character. I love how he can go from boyishly masculine to fluid and sensual. I know this series didn't work for most people but I really hope he keeps getting work in BL!

I just saw a clip of it--holy crap!

Yes! This is the perfect kind of spice for me. Sad it’s only 10 minutes per episode but 100% seated after the first one.

I thought so too! Hard to tell, there's a lot of talk and innuendo in this series but not on-screen NC action, so I feel like it could go either way...

He thought that fight with Wang Shuo's brother was because the brother hurt Wang Shuo. Suo Wei didn't see Chi Cheng look at the brother's phone where he'd innocently texted him. It was thinking Suo Wei likes the brother (sorry can't remember his name) that sent Chi Cheng into a violent jealous rage. But Wang Shuo helped push Suo Wei into believing it was over love for Wang Shuo, not love for Suo Wei.

And then Suo Wei saw the final video proving Wang Shuo never really cheated. And decided to get out of the way of what he thought was the right thing for both of them.

The show is doing a great job of showing depth and facets to all these characters--despite it being so over the top, the characterization is surprisingly nuanced. I don't like Wang Shuo but I don't hate him, and I think he was dealt some bad hands (that he played wrong maybe but they were bad to begin with).

OMG I loved this series. It had a slice-of-life quality; you get to really just live in the village and get to know everyone, so when Yo falls for Jom, it's like when two friends get together and you're like "ohh, I didn't see that coming but I can see why you're perfect for each other!" (I mean obvs I saw this coming, but I like how they let them get to know each other on other levels before their feelings deepened.) Their chemistry was understated (I mean until the last few minutes phew!) but every time Yo looked at Jom once he'd realized he was in love, I got butterflies from the adoration in his eyes.

All the side characters and subplots were great. I could probably quibble with pacing or how easily the awful dad and ex were forgiven, but why bother when I feel so blissed out with happiness after the steamy final NC scene and the cutely rustic final scene (straddling a buffalo I kid you not lol). This was so great and completely its own thing--it didn't feel like it was trying to fit into any particular genre box.

This series is better than it has any right to be. There's a lot of sex but it's very character-consistent. Someone on Tumblr mentioned that Sorn is like an old school yaoi seme but in the modern world he's gonna face consequences / have remorse for his controlling behavior, and his uke has a ton of support from their mutual friends and coworkers. Honestly it's pretty compelling and well done, the two leads' acting and chemistry are great, and the NC scenes are gorgeous (and highly rewatchable...)

I love this show so far! But where are my new episodes? I thought we’d get 7 & 8 today.

Omg his performance is EVERYthing. I’m loving the show but he gets most of the credit for that I think. I adore this actor and the character.

Totally agreed. I’ll Turn Back This Time bummed me out so bad. Really hoping this J&J thing is smoke and mirrors but either way I’m upset because they stole my pleasant anticipation of the special ep and replaced it with trepidation.

I’ll Turn Back this Time posted a special ep with a happy ending and kiss—it makes no fing sense but neither did the rest of the plot so I’m going with this and believing they got their HEA…

Not just to jail--to death row, right? That "I love you" was the most chilling line in a series that was already super creepy!

Maybe only with the boxset? I watched a screen recording on Tumblr basically lol and think I saw it all. It's two short eps, cute and funny.

Same!

I cannot wait!! This series was sooo incredible, I haven’t stopped thinking about it for a day since its first episode.

Omg !! Did they say if it’s a special ep or full second season?!

Special ep or new season??
