Finally we are getting somewhere with SandRay and BostonNick. Top is tasting his own medicine, serves him kinda right however that sneaky B...i don't like him.
I am writing this review on my phone on the way to school and I plan to watch episode 11 in my first period class because we have a subStarting off with Ray and sand. They finally got Ray some rehab and now he is in denial and just really emotional because he isn’t used to not having alcohol and drugs. It’s sad but true. Khao played this scene really well. Especially with everything that was unfolding. I understand how he felt with his dad paying sand off, like people not seeing him for anything but money. It’s heartbreaking but true for our poor baby. I need them to stay strong I beg.Next up is Nick and Boston. Boston has no friends anymore and it’s finally set in that he’s lonely and he doesn’t know what’s wrong with him. I’m a bad person apologist. He’s okay, he’s going through it and he literally just needs someone to love him. And that person is Nick. Nicks back handed comments were funny and Boston needed this wake up call. Stay strong my baes.Top and mew. Top is getting bad at airplane boy because he finally got mew back after all the shit he did and he just swoops in. I’d be so fucking mad. Top is trying but mew kissing Boeing, even if it was forced, he still kissed him. They aren’t to make it probably . I hope but Boeing is going to rip them apart and move onto the next. Okay bye!
I thought no episode can compete with Bad Buddy EP5. I was wrong. This episode is (arguably) the BEST episode of the year. GREAT acting from FirstKhaotung & NeoMark. Khaotung as Ray deserve award(s)!
This episode not only introduced Boeing as a chaos-stirring character instead of Boston, but also gave Atom the new title of “asshole”.I have to say I'm a huge fan of Boeing he is so fun because his only purpose and goals is wreaking havoc in his ex's love lives, and I'm here for it. He takes that burden off of Boston's shoulders, so he can now concentrate on reconciling with Nick, which I'm very much supportive of. Now, what Atom did is unbelievable. One can dislike Boston for what he did to his friend Mew, but he would never (I suppose) blackmail someone into having sex with him, and I would've hoped so that his friends know that. But of course Mew and Ray have their own issue with Boston, so they just hope on the train that Cheum is leading right now. I'm so happy that we now get the redemption arc of Boston where he realizes what a great person Nick is and that he's probably the only one who can deal with this type of personality – I loved both their scenes in the store and at the rooftop. The one in the store called back the memories of the first episode, but now Boston tries to communicate his feelings, and the on at the rooftop is just so heart-wrenching because finally both of them are honest with their feelings. The sex scenes afterwards are also a great comparison to their first night together, where it definitely more about lust than feeling – great storytelling and editing!Now, First and Khaotung outdone themselves – especially Khao with his big angry/crying scenes. I cannot imagine how hard it must have been for First to not fully react to the emotions that Khaotung was throwing at him. They both communicate so well with their eyes, it's astonishing. I'm happy that Ray would not go through with his plan to push Sand into revealing to his father that he is his son. It was so refreshing to see Ray fully accept his feelings for Sand and letting his guard down. The scene after the first therapy session was beyond cute. You could feel his happiness through the screen, and this time Sand certainly knew that Ray does have these feelings and is not just masking them as “friendship”. For that reason it hurt even more to see Ray breaking down in front of Sand – I completely understand him how he must have felt as someone who does not value his live very much. Lastly, I really appreciate the camera angles chosen for these two scenes – especially the last one where we only see Ray's face, really lets you sit right there with him and his emotions. You cannot escape it, same as he finally lets it all in and realizes Sands worth for him.
First and Khaotung (especially) were amazing this episode. Khaotung's acting is so good that I could almost feel his pain. The confrontation scene was on another level.Let's talk about Nick (Mark) - again, great acting. The scene where he told Boston (Neo) - through his tears - that he missed him was beautiful, sad and relatable. Obviously, they would end up in bed....it was all beautiful.Boeing (Mond) and his devious mind...OMG...what a wicked, gorgeous man! I love his directness with Mew and his coolness with Top. I'm here for it all!
Khaotung's acting is superb watching him breakdown is shockingly real. So much admiration to him and First the two of the are going a masterclass in acting in their scenes this week.
Okay. This was... a lot. First off: I hate that I feel bad for Boston. Here I was, saying that he deserved to rot and burn in hell, and the moment he gets his comeuppance I'm actually rooting for him and Nick. WHY AM I LIKE THIS?? (I still think them getting back together was way too quick, and they're both toxic and have betrayed each other's trust - but to hell with that lol, I don't really have a rational explanation for this feeling). ---- On the other hand, I honestly don't give a fuck about Top and Mew. Not a single one. The ex may or may not have a pact with Mew, but I doubt that, even if it makes things more interesting (aka messy). ---- And finally, unfortunately, I have confirmed that I can't watch people cry, no matter how well they act. It's just an involuntary response, it's so awkward and makes me laugh even if I don't want to. The scrunched up faces, the snot, I just can't do it. And Ray.... *sigh* he's a disaster. He's always been, though, and he continues to push Sand away. Idk man, I get that he's struggling, but Sand shouldn't have to put up with his problems as well as his own. Ray gets a lot of chances for a rich kid who refuses to let others in.
One of the best BL episodes I ever saw. Acting was phenomenal across the board especially Ray and Sand. I am now rooting for them big time!! The plot twists are real and gritty. I see my own life in so many of these situations. Do yourself a favor and watch this episode!! I can't wait for episode 11.
