It just felt like they needed to have some drama before the last episode and so they shoe-horned the 'going abroad' trope to create it. It didn't feel organic like the other episodes (Day going blind, or Day confessing to August and it going wrong) - this was completely unnecessary. And also - why did Mhok lie to Day? This, again, felt forced. Mhok should have been straightforward with him and been like, 'Hey, they offered me the job, but I love you and don't want to do long distance', and that's it!! It doesn't even have to be because he's blind!! There are ways to create drama without it being nonsensical - for example, have Mhok be overprotective of Day and Day get tired of it, because he feels overwhelmed and like he's not being taken seriously as a grown adult man. That would have been *great* ------ On the other hand, love Phojai and Night, they're adorable, I hope they become a little family with Me.

The acting is AMAZING, the story is super unique, and you can feel the horror just like the main character - seeing the game fall apart as he tries to fix everything had me so stressed omg ------- Lowered the score because the breakup was just unnecessary. Don't make my boy cry please.

I thought I'd love this series after watching the first two episodes. I had a really good feeling about it. Everything felt so different than all the other bl k-dramas I've watched: it was bold, had a lot of innuendo and sexual tension, and overall was funny and entertaining. Idk what has happened with the last two episodes. They're just plain boring, nothing is going on and there's too much focus on the other two guys that are chasing after Lee Jun (who, mind you, doesn't even seem interested in either of them. He just looks perpetually confused). I cannot believe that they still haven't even kissed by ep. 5 (out of 8!!). They also pulled the 'miscommunication' trope with the fiancée, I really hope they fix it soon.

I can't believe we got TWO kisses in a single episode. I'm still unsure about whether the first one was real or one of the fujoshi's fantasies, but I'll take it anyway. We also got an 'I love you' (no, I'm not counting the 'Ocean' add-on at the end, that was obviously an excuse to say that he loves him). I feel like we're missing a scene where they hook up or something because they keep acting like they're a couple (see: the 'I'm slick all over' scene where Su Yu kicked him under the table?? What was that??). Anyway, great episode, I was invested all the way through.Also, one last thing, why was the beach scene a green screen?? Was it so hard to film on a real beach? It looked so weird lol

Their reunion was so cute, the way Wu Bi was grabbing Su Yu's face- I love their scenes together

I spent the entire episode screaming 'Just tell him!!' at the screen because he just wouldn't?? Literally wrote 'TELL HIM' like 5 times in my notes throughout the episode (and also: 'What did she just say??') Idk the girl got on my nerves, she needs to go like now. Loved the acting, the intensity, and the drama (it's a first for me lol). Wu Bi went a little bit off the rails, let's hope he can chill after this - he went all possessive and stalker-y on Su Yu, and I don't know how to feel about that. However, I would be lying if I said I didn't feel a little bit giddy when he said 'Su Yu is mine' - is it toxic? Yes. Am I clinging desperately to any proof available that this is going to be a BL and not just a bromance? Maybe.

Lost points because 1) they pulled the miscommunication trope with Karan's supposed girlfriend and 2) the fucking fujoshi please can we STOP with these characters?? It's not funny, it's weird, shipping fictional characters is fine but not people you know in real life (and certainly not having them as your wallpaper wth) - I swear I'm so tired of this trope. Also, how the hell did Karan get Achi inside his own house? Was the door just open? ---- And ALSO. Why do they keep calling Jinta 'Uncle'? My poor man is only a year older than his 'partner' but they treat him like an old man lol

So. I fucking loved ep 2 of the Japanese version. This one? Not so much. I think, what made the Japanese one so good was that Aoki volunteered even though he didn't want to, to save Hashimoto, and she was SO grateful and you could see it in her face. Aoki pushed through it and did the stage as best as he could and at the end Ida caught him and it was the first time Aoki felt something for him. Here? It's not awkward, Atom somehow knows all the dialogue, doesn't stumble once, and the stage is so professional it doesn't look like a highschool play at all. I also feel like they're moving so fast even though the episodes are so long? Idk. I don't mind them skipping the 'dressing like a girl' bit, and I genuinely liked the traditional Thai costumes. But.. at the end of the day, this is a highschool play.

They are so domestic it's so hilarious that they're still doubting about whether they like each other. Maybe it's me and always intellectualizing my feelings but I cannot fathom being this oblivious about liking someone romantically. Truly mind-boggling

The first two episodes of the original MLMU were my absolute favorites so the bar was quite literally sky-high. Even though I still prefer those, this ep was absolutely adorable. Fourth's acting is still supreme -- Gemini's doesn't really shine, because Ida/Kongthap doesn't emote that much. But I love the story and the confusion as much as I did in the OG. And the scene with the veggies was adorable as well.

The day they stop putting fujoshi characters in BL series will be the day I die from joy. ------ Not Mork kissing Pi right outside his house when in previous eps it's been established that there's people from their school who live nearby T-T someone's gonna see youuuu (also, he should have asked first. But anyway) ---- them running around the house while Mork is too horny to function trying to avoid getting caught was funny though

I just finished the episode and barely remember most of it. The last confession is cute, I guess, but I would have liked it better if Pi had found out about Mork's identity in some other way. Maybe he could have caught him texting? Or used his phone for a call and seen the logged in account? Idk, but anything more creative than being *told* about it (and also, Pi didn't even react that much to it?? It was hyped up as this big deception/mystery and then he found out and nothing happened). ------- The girl is annoying. And Mork is also annoying for letting her be annoying. I'd be begging her to leave me alone lmao

The fujoshi characters keep annoying the fuck out of me. And MORK?? Are you insane????? These are the people who're stalking the man you claim to love, posting pictures of him without his consent and digging up his family history, and you agree to do an interview with them? Yeah I have no respect for him after that. If he cared about Pi he would tell them all to fuck off. ---- I also don't like the "let's make him jealous" plotline. It's so exhausting

I love that they have trained me like a dog and now every time the aspect ratio changes I know Duean is coming onscreen lmao ---- Pi is dumb as shit though like how do you listen to your brother's advice and come to THAT conclusion?? Omfg. That guy has rejected you alreadyy, learn to respect people's boundaries. But otherwise it was a decent episode, better than the previous ones, I think

I watched this two days ago and didn't come back to it because I thought we weren't done yet. But anyways I think they were cute , the "I love you"s were CRAZY bc y'all have been together for like one second --- but it's ok because they're happy. Haruna is the captain of this ship and so am I. Nothing else to add
