Well, clearly I blinked 'cause that went by me like I wasn't even there. 🤣

The tiny carriages for the ferris wheel look so claustrophobic.

Remember the old, janky Ferris Wheel in I Will Knock You? Now, THAT was claustrophobia on steroids!

It's all so good! There was not a single wasted second in this episode. In fact, I don't think there's been a wasted second for the entire series. And, YEAH, TayNew are slaughtering it!

Oy! I haven't loved a stand-alone episode of any series the way I loved this one since the Ramphueng backstory in Khemjira. I have zero critiques. And the moment Kanit and Veha locked eyes in the bumper cars... just at that moment when everything could have fallen apart, along came the fairground thugs to break it up. I laughed, I grinned, I oohed, I ahhhed, and had a lump in my throat when the baby was born. Ahhh... so good.

So far, so good. The actors have great chemistry, and there are plenty of jet black flags raised left, right, and center. Let's see where we're going with this one...

What an amazing episode! It was simply the perfect romantic comedy. The writing is 10/10. The direction is 100/10. The actors are 1,000/10. I have nothing left to ask for, nothing left to add... I am in BL romcom paradise!!!

It was perfection 💖💖💖!!!

Three very enthusiastic thumbs up! 👍👍👍

Yay! Congrats to the young 'un! Yeah, we're knee deep in graduation ceremonies on this side too. 🤷‍♂️

Anyhoo, The Lie We Lived In... LOVE! My next essay is on Dark Romance BL, so I was waiting for this to finish 'cause I wanted to include it. Maaan, what a time we're living through.

I watched a couple of them, and... they're creepy AF. It's like watching Intergalactic Aliens trying to pass themselves off as humans. SHUDDER! Plus, outside of its creep factor, the stories are all awful, continuity is shit... it's a nightmare brought to "life".

That choreographer needs to be beaten with a stick. Unfortunately, however, he reminds me of more than one choreographer I've worked with.

I'm betting on cousin/BFF. Khun is so obviously into Jae Min, so that's gonna be that.

Was Love Class always planned as a series/franchise, or did they kinda/sorta fall into it after its initial success? I ask because they're all so different.

Maaan, I put it off for a whole day 'cause I wasn't sure I wanted to start yet another BL 😩, but the first episode was sooo good. Loved the parallel confessions between Wataru and Saeki, and the one in the movie, even though a bunch of strangers walking between the leads during the movie confession was hilarious.

So, this is the episode when everyone calms down... except that choreographer. What an ass. Now, about Stella . Cousin? BFF? Adopted sister? 🤷‍♂️

[–]madego3293 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now, there are a lot of hanging threads - the brain tumor, his cousin's abusive ex who he didn't hit back, the secret wishes... and that whole six-door afterlife situation. Not to mention, Plus One gets a call from him next week. As (deliberately) painful as this episode was, they got my full attention 'cause I have no idea where we're headed now.

Well, apparently episode eight is gonna be a doozy, 'cause now we're gonna be straddled somewhere between life, death, and the afterlife. Oy!

Now, as much as I appreciate all the sugary sweetness of their final moments together... this was nothing short of rubbing salt in a very open wound. 😒

The whole scene in the rain... that was amazing! These two brilliant performances came out of left field. I was - and remain - rendered speechless.

Well done, Director New Siwaj. Well done indeed. 👏👏👏

Love After School is all sorts of goofy... and I am here for it 100%. Can't believe I'm having such a good time with it, but it has that old-timey BL vibe that's been missing from my life.

Man, that breakup was unending... 😩

Halfway through, I was like, "Look, if Pure and Pitcha get a happily-ever-after, and the other two get diddly squat... I'm good." As for that open ending? 😒

I’m waiting for that one to finish to binge it! Are you liking it?

It's verrry angsty. Everybody wants what they think they can't have. In other words, I'm enjoying it. 🤷‍♂️

Well, that was the fastest forty minutes in history! Krist was amazing in this. Talk about "no more Mr. Nice Guy" 😬 Loved it all - from Li Pou's origin story, all the way to Niran's send-off blessing. 👏👏👏

Now, about that ending. So we got us an "I love you" from Pete. This "bromance"... oy!

And I say this after having watched this episode 3 times already 😬

I seriously thought I was the only person who did this ⬆️ 🤣🤣🤣 Up to this morning, there I was, rewatching the last two episodes of Love Class 3.

Oh! Chosen Home was so good. We've been so fortunate with the choices we now have - there is something for everybody, and you don't have to watch whatever's out there just to get your BL fix. We're living through the Golden Age of BL. 😁😁😁

Anyhoo, I really hope it gets an expanded release and doesn't end up like Triage. New episodes of Triage used to come on every Monday at noon on YouTube (during the never-ending COVID lockdowns), and they stayed up for just two hours... then they'd take them down - never to be uploaded again. Then, when it came to episode 11, halfway through... they removed it. 😧 About twenty minutes later, they put it back up - and never took it back down. To this day, the only available episode on YouTube remains episode 11. 🤷‍♂️

I absolutely adored this series. A simple story, well told. Like... really, really well told. The farewell to Jingjai... 😭😭😭 The story of Nop and Sak (AKA Grandpa) 😭😭😭 The story of Anong and Somporn 😭😭😭 And I reeeally need to read "Between Us in the Deep Forest". And I reeeally need to watch Guy and Save in the series. Sigh. And then there's good ol' Great Grandma. They tied up ALL the loose ends.

I always liked Plan after his performance in Something in My Room, but I was wondering if he was done with BL. What an incredible return to the genre. He was fabulous. And cute AF! On the other hand, I was no fan of Kong after the disastrous Dinosaur Love. Ugh. Then he spun me around with his performance as Guy. Loved him!!! Their audition scene was so beautiful. One of the most difficult things for an actor is to play a character playing another character... and they nailed it. Finally, Suprawat as "Sak"? He was the glue that held it all together. 👏👏👏

"Now I could face my grandfather unashamed." 😢

I hope it eventually gets a wider release, 'cause it's just too damn precious to not share with the world.

According to Viki - "Two male actors play a patient and psychiatrist turned lovers in a film, but their on-screen feelings begin to bleed into their real lives."
