It was subtly explained a few episodes ago. The only "people" who can see and communicate with the spirit that possesses the teachers and staff at the school are people who aren't actually human. Sun saw Junior speaking with the spirit on his (Junior's) first day at the school. Plus, he told Junior in this episode that the way he acted when they first met gave it away.

The end of this episode went from adorable to frightening within literal SECONDS. Since this feels like something that would typically happen toward the end of the series, I'm a bit nervous about the remaining episodes. I'm glad to see Sun feeling comfortable enough to open up to Junior. Even if his brother can't/won't turn into a human, I still hope that Junior can find a way to rescue his brother.

I don't know if it's the character or the actor portraying the character, but is it me, or did Dunk look a bit disinterested during the NC scene?

With the exception of Shao Peng's mother, this episode (episode 7) really made me dislike the women in this series. The fact that Shu He slapped Shao Peng after HE seemingly prevented HER from getting r*aped didn't sit well with me at all. Despite his disability, he STILL managed to save her; so you'd think she'd be a bit more appreciative as opposed to berating him because of something he can't control. Also, it's clear that Jessica (Zi Xiang's "fiancé") is working for Zi Xiang's father and cares nothing about his feelings. While Zi Xiang's delivery was rather harsh, his overall point was valid. Even if Shao Peng weren't deaf, there are some things in life that he's just not going to be able to do (again, that applies to every human). To a certain extent, I can also understand why Zi Xiang became upset with Shao Peng since it became evident in this episode that he saw how he believed Shao Peng navigated life with his disability as inspiration to deal with his own issues with his father (that doesn't make it right, but I can understand it). I appreciate the fact that this episode began to uncover Shao Peng's TRUE emotions in regard to his disability. Hopefully this can be used to strengthen his bond with Zi Xiang.

This series should seriously be rated higher. This episode (episode 4) made me feel bad for Junior since he was hit with a double-whammy in the span of about 3 minutes. To not only find out that his brother was being imprisoned, but the person who raised them and acted as if he loved them is the one doing it in such a callus and inhumane way was a heavy dose of how cold the human world can be at times. I do hope that Junior's brother gets free somehow even if he can't transform into a human like Junior. I like that Sun is seemingly becoming more receptive of Junior's affection. Overall, this series is insanely adorable so far.

Again, my main complaint is that I feel as though the episodes should be longer (episode 7 in particular could've benefited from an extra 15 minutes in my opinion). This is an enjoyable series so far, but I'm a bit nervous for what may happen in episode 8. Zi Xiang did explain to Shao Peng in the previous episode that his father had essentially predetermined every aspect of his life (including his love life, which is why he wants freedom). I hope that Shao Peng isn't quick to reject Zi Xiang's feelings for him, but at the same time, I'd understand if he did since to Shao Peng, it may look like Zi Xiang is toying with his emotions. Hopefully this series has a happy ending.

The trailer looks so good! I'm glad that Fourth and Gemini are getting a series with a seemingly more serious plot than some of their other series. They deserve this redemption series after the "My Love Mix-Up" debacle.

Honestly, I would've rated this a 10/10 had either Jack or Hoy simply shot Carbon in the head when they had the chance (that alone would've shaved at least 15 minutes off the final episode). The pacing of the series was nice compared to some other Thai BLs; and the plot was so unserious in some parts (but oddly enough, that's part of what made the series enjoyable). The way the Four Horsemen allowed "Boss" to think he was significantly more powerful than he truly ended up being was diabolical, but low-key deserved because the "Boss" was a bit of a d*ck. Aran is a better person than me, because there's no way I'd be taking care of a "parent" that disowned me without hesitation. I kinda want a special episode to be made just to see the aftermath of everything that went down in the series (not necessarily a Season 2 since I don't really know what the plot would be). Overall, a near perfect BL in my opinion.

For a GMMTV series, it could've been significantly worse. I feel like this series started off really strong but started to lose steam around episode 9. I've noticed that a lot of GMMTV series tend to have an issue with "finishing strong" so to speak (i.e. Wandee Goodday; it wasn't a terrible series, but it could've been better toward the end). Overall, this was a solid series; but a part of me feels like this could've been 10 episodes as opposed to 12. This series would've been a 10/10 for me had it managed to maintain the momentum it started off with beyond episode 8.

My only issue is that I think this episode (episode 6) should've been longer since it felt like it went by rather quickly. Zi Xiang learning sign language out of sheer jealousy of Shu He's ability to communicate with Shao Peng is low-key a level of pettiness I aspire to reach. This episode made me empathize with Zi Xiang a bit more and have a better understanding of why he doesn't want to take over his father's business. His reason for sleeping in the closet is an extremely sad level of trauma that needs to be explored. Hopefully his growing connection with Shao Peng will give him the strength to overcome his issues.

Uh... Why is this already rated so low when we're only two episodes in? I'm actually enjoying the twist on the "high school BL" so far. I wonder if there are more "students" like Junior and Sun. Something tells me that Junior and Sun aren't the only animals that the ghost has helped get into that school.

Not gonna lie; episode 11 should've been titled "Q Is Useless." I'm a bit disappointed that there wasn't an effort to make Q's character a bit less 1-dimensional (because he's always depicted as the "damsel in distress" so to speak). It would've been nice to see Q be the "hero" in this episode as opposed to always being the one who needs to be saved. I know that the trepidation with the gun is playing into Q's unresolved trauma, but I just didn't like how easily he was disarmed and once again put in a position where he had to be saved. Episode 7 showed Q putting forth the effort to protect Mhen when Yada's men broke into the house; so I feel like they could've extrapolated elements from that episode for this episode. For a GMMTV series, while this series feels like it lost a bit of steam toward the end, it's not nearly as bad as it COULD be in my opinion.

Episode 10 was HEAVY!!!!! Without spoiling anything, Save still needs his a** BEAT!

While it was nice that episode 10 gave us more about Min's backstory/unresolved trauma, overall, both this and episode 9 felt a bit like filler episodes (because of the exploration of Min's backstory, this episode felt stronger than episode 9 in my opinion). Until I saw the preview for the next episode, I was a bit curious as to whether or not the storyline with the female mob boss would pick back up. The plot and pacing of this series is a welcomed change from the standard GMMTV series. I'm excited for episode 11.

PROTECT THE GRANDMOTHER AT ALL COSTS!!!!! If the Boss does something else to her, I'm going to be pissed. She was definitely the MVP of episode 8 acting as a mediator with Joker and his father (who btw is kind of a d*ck) as well as Jack and Joker while dealing with her own medical ailments. I'm excited to see how Jack and/or Joker go about taking down the "Boss;" which I find a bit ironic since it seems as though of the Four Horseman, he's the low man on the totem pole to the point where his "peers" don't seem to respect him. Lastly, although he only had a small role in this episode, Save STILL needs his a** beat.

One thing that I like about this series compared to the average GMMTV series is the fact that the product placement isn't nearly as "in your face." It's there, but it's not forced in practically EVERY scene like the average GMMTV series. Anyways, this was another good episode. It's easy to tell that Ohm is a far more seasoned actor than Leng (not saying Leng is bad perse, but he could be better at conveying certain emotions), and his (Ohm's) level of acting is somewhat concealing Leng's shortcomings. During their scene on the road before the NC scene, I was too focused on the level of emotion that Ohm was conveying that I didn't really pay attention to the lack of emotion from Leng. I'm just curious as to where the story will go now that they're officially together. The pacing of the series is nice; and I want to see how the series progresses within the next four episodes.

This needs to be said (and I don't care what people think); Save needs his a** BEAT!!!!! The fact that he's willing to ruin the life of someone he called a "friend" just for a piece of d*ck is crazy work (I can't wait for him to get exposed). While I think that this has been a solid series so far, the one thing that annoys me about Jack is the fact that he's still insanely naive and trusting of people that he shouldn't be (looking at you Save) even after five years. I feel as though he should be a bit more jaded and apprehensive about trusting just anyone after Joker initially lied to him about the "loan" and gave him false hope. I hope Jack realizes that the Boss poisoned his grandmother just to manipulate him into going back to work. Fingers crossed that Jack and Joker will reconcile in the later episodes and actually be happy.

I'm genuinely surprised they gave us the "breakup scene" this early in the series (because it's typically saved for either episode 10 or 11 with the exception of Wandee Goodday). Leng's acting seems to get better with each episode. I'm interested in seeing how the story progresses now that the informant has been exposed. There hasn't been a "bad" episode yet; so hopefully that continues throughout the series.

Well it wouldn't be a GMMTV series without a musical number of some sort; but this one wasn't nearly as cringe as it typically is when it comes to GMMTV. There hasn't been a bad" episode yet (hopefully that continues to be the case as the series progresses). Ohm and Leng's chemistry is surprisingly good considering the fact that this is Leng's first series as a lead. As much as Min wants to protect Q, I like that we're getting to see signs of Q wanting to protect Min as well. As I've stated before, I hope this series encourages GMMTV to produce more BLs outside of a high school/university setting and venture into more mature plots that are a little less campy than the standard GMMTV series.

The pacing so far coupled with the chemistry of Ohm and Leng is EVERYTHING! Hopefully GMMTV continues to produce more BLs outside of a high school/university setting. I can't wait for their first kiss.
