If the rest of this continues going like ep 1, at least it's going to end up as quite a good unintentional comedy lol.

Sing's "boyfriend" came out of nowhere and made me miss half of the dialogue in that scene hahaha

I think that's just the universal Triage experience lmao

We got a trailer for this ep after all, but all I got from that is that Tol indeed will be the one looping this time.

I actually agree with the opinion in the video that even if it might be something real couples call each other, it shouldn't really be spread through the media.
Because especially in Thailand/Asia BLs seem to be mostly watched by young straight females who aren't really educated on how same-sex relationships work and this can give them the idea that everything revolves around the partners' sex positions combined with heteronormality. In my opinion companies producing BL dramas should hold a certain responsibility over how they're presenting the relationships and avoid spreading stereotypes as to make the viewers more understanding of and open towards real life same-sex couples. There doesn't need to be the extremely correct representation because that's usually what makes western "BLs" boring lol. But I think we can afford to avoid scenes which spread the harmful stereotypes at the cost of refraining from cultural correctness.

Thank you for sharing your opinion though! I may have a different one , but I totally understand where you're coming from.

This is very well said!
I completely agree. That previous loop when Tin got close to Tol served as a confirmation of his feelings so when he looped back and remembered Tol, Tin was determined to push for a romantic relationship instead of just friendship. Tin did not need to flirt with Tol to stop him from chasing after Mai at the party so it was something he wanted to do himself.

I'd say there are a few possible candidates depending on the criteria people choose their favourite drama by.
I can definitely see Triage being the best in multiple categories, but there are for sure people who prefer a bigger focus on relationships, more lighthearted stories, etc :)

Also on the topic of tropes, I almost got scared at that moment when Tol started looking through Tin's notes and found the "make Tol my boyfriend" one. If this followed the clichés, Tol would've absolutely misunderstood and started thinking that Tin only showed romantic interest to get himself out of the loop. But thankfully we had none of that here and Tol did not just disregard all the sweet moments between them which showed how healthy their relationship already is and was much better than dragged-out drama 😊

I don't think any of us was able to fully comprehend that, we're probably going to need a few more days lmao.

The episode finished and I just kept sitting speechless trying to process that whole thing (and the fact that we got no preview).
Each week I get angrier at the fact that this didn't have a more accessible international promotion and release because so many people are missing one of the best BLs ever released.

I haven't seen anyone complain about the "wife" comment in the first episode so I'm going to be that person.

Interestingly enough, I personally find Vee's character to be portrayed as the worse person out of the two. I can sort of understand Mark's actions since in my opinion he did show that sensitivity by not being able to deal with a heartbreak and overwhelming emotions while the excessive neediness was brought up in him more after he got drunk.
Meanwhile Vee was the one who could've stopped the sexual advances from Mark, yet instead he submitted to it despite being aware that Mark wasn't even able to distinguish him from Bar at the time (and also the fact that he ditched his girlfriend to sleep with a guy who was making him rage just an hour before it),

I do agree with you though as I feel like they both could've been written better. I just wanted to comment that I had the exact opposite impression lol.

No no, I know who both of them are.
I just remember that during the first loop Tin had to keep persuading Sing to change the shift with him. They were friends even then, but Sing seems to have quite a cold personality overall and to me it looks like he only started warming up to Tin during the later loops.

Or am I remembering the thing about Sing wrong?

Triage is on my brain 24/7 now so I want to share my thoughts lol.

I thought this was a plothole at first, but then I started thinking the reason why Sing seems to be growing closer to Tin in every loop is because the emotions carry over even if the memories don't.
Because in the first loop Sing seemed to be cold towards Tin and was unwilling to take over his shift, but in the next ones he suddenly became okay with it and even took over multiple ones. It would make sense for Sing to have grown closer to Tin in the previous loops thanks to them interacting more and Tin reuniting Sing with Rit. Sing and Tol are both characters who Tin wasn't on good terms with at first and they've both had a change in attitude.

And if this were to be true, then the romance would be really sweet too. We've seen Tol being more willing to interact with Tin in every new loop, opening up easier and listening to Tin's advice about protecting Rit, all before regaining his memories. So this would mean Tol has been progressively falling for Tin because the feelings from each loop kept piling up.
And I think it would make sense if the final loop is about to happen in the next episode since Tol will feel a strong connection to Tin, regain his memories earlier and feel the emotions along with knowing their past story.

Also I can't stress enough how good of a drama this is because I usually don't like mystery stories unless I can get invested in them and think about possible theories :)

Thank you! :D

Yep, if that's the case, I can't wait to see how exactly Tin needs to interact with them to clear the loop.

I'm thinking that Tin might need to work on the loop together with Tol which firstly required him to create an emotional connection between them so Tol would gain the ability to recall the previous loops as well. First time he remembered as he was dying, this time it was in the middle of the week and the next could be after one day. That's why Jinta would've first told Tin to save Tol and later reveal the objective is to stop the whole organ-trafficking scheme.

So far the condition to clear the loop seems to be convincing Rit to sue Sak and the first step to achieve that is preventing Tol from stealing the project idea and not having Rit be accused of cheating. Having Tol regain his memories very early into the loop would also allow Tin to focus on solving the case instead of having to spend extra time on flirting with Tol (though they're still going to flirt even if Tol does regain memories lmao).
Also I think the attacker with knife from this ep is probably going to be addressed again since Tin brought up his sudden appearance, but hasn't figured out the reasoning.

And yes, I can't imagine how this loop can last for 4 more episodes, it seems like way too long haha.
(This is all a speculation and most likely wrong lmao).

That preview is giving me an impression that this was not the last loop and we're about to witness the saddest and most emotional ending before the final loop begins.
Hopefully I'm wrong, but if it does happen, I think Tol will at least remember sooner this time since his memory of previous loops probably grows more vivid as he gets closer to Tin.

I'm guessing it might have possibly been mass downvoted or botted, I once saw another drama go from down by like 2 stars in a single day so it can happen.

I think that my taste in BLs just doesn't align with the average BL viewer on MDL.
I'm a big fan of ridiculous comedies where the entire plot consists of occurrences which could never or would hardly happen in real life, yet the storyline still has a direction and leads to an outcome. However, judging by what I've seen so far, these kinds of dramas usually get low ratings on here.
So for me skipping over dramas with low ratings would mean missing out on the kinds of stories I enjoy.
But yes, it is just a matter of personal opinion as a lot of mediocre dramas which I wasn't a fan of have a higher rating than this.
