This episode did a fantastic job in portraying how a relationship is hard work and just because you say "sorry" doesn't mean you understood what you did wrong and that you won't repeat the same mistake.Zo again is a great protagonist who stays true to his character. He speaks his mind and doesn't beat around the bush. He's not swayed by lazy apologizes or grand gestures but wants his friend and boyfriend to realize what they've done wrong.This is also the first time that the great communication skills of Zo and Joke didn't really work because Joke did not come clean when Zo presented him with multiple situations. What Joke did instead was repeat his mistake and only offering empty words until just way later into the episode he finally realized what he had done wrong and what Zo was waiting for. It was a great way to show us a more complex version of Joke because to one is perfect not even Joke and I love that.Finally, Pok opened up about his feelings and made Jeng realize how much he hurt his boyfriend with his behaviour. Their conversation was also so so good because it started – similarly to Joke and Zo - with Jeng not understanding what he did wrong and ended with him acknowledging his wrong-doings. Apologizing for them and immediatly changing his behaviour.I have to note that no one should ever come out when they're not ready. You never own someone your coming-out. It is your decision when and if you want to come out. However, same applies for the partner if they cannot be in this type of relationship then they should be able to end the relationship because of it. I thought the director and screenwriter handled this topic very well.

Ok, this episode was soooo good. The storyline is moving along quite nicely. Especially now that we get to know who is already involved with other people's business.We started off with a really heavy scene that was beautifully handled by Khao. Really have to applaud his acting!!! I think episode 4 really shows how important Mew (as a friend) is for Ray. He was there when Ray was at his lowest and after. Now Ray really needs to let go of these romantic feelings as they will not be reciprocated by Mew but by Sand. Now if we look at Mew and Top I think I was never this annoyed. Mew might be the one in control in their relationship, but still he's still unaware of the fact that Top cheated with him, so Top being jealous because Mew kissed Ray two years ago doesn't make sense. It does not make sense that Mew has to prove his virginity to Top. Jeeez, hey're both so frustrating.I'm happy that Ray is this persistant with Sand because otherwise Sand couldn't have told Ray what he wants from a friendship (and quite obviously a romantic relationship). It saddens me that Sand know that he's only number two (for now) in Ray's life, but still plays along just because he wants to be with him and see him smile. It is so obvious that they both like each other, which made their record-store-date this more beautiful.Nick surprised me when he admitted that he was as nasty as Boston. At least he knows it. But I'm still confused why he wants Boston that bad. He must have spied on him before to be this obsessed, I guess. Anyhow, I think it was the wrong call to tell Top of all people that he knows what happened between Top and Boston. Top didn't seem to be too concerned.Overall, a lot happened this episode and more more of our protagonists have their noses in each other's businesses.From a cinematic point of view, I really liked the shot of Mew entering Ray's house when he was looking at him. I like these dynamic shots and love that we got another one here. And this episode had again excellent soundtrack, which let this show feel very unique.

That was a good introduction to the series. I really like the style of this show. The cinematography feels more like a movie than a series because of the colours and the format. Perth is doing a fantastic job at portraying Kanghan so far – I really don't like him. The bullying-scenes were so hard to watch. I like the grittiness, which is why I was confused when we had these two more light and funny scenes. I felt like they didn't really fit into what we've seen before, but I'm still open to it and interested in seeing how this mix is used in the future. Sailom seems to be a very smart person that is not afraid to stand up for what is right, and I really like that. I'm a fan of his friend group. They seem to care for each other. We will need to see a lot of character development from Kanghan before I'll start to like him. However, we already had a sneak-peak into what might trouble him. The conversation with his grandma and his dad showed that either his father doesn't think Kanghan has what it takes to be a school president, or he wants to protect him from the stress that comes with a position like that. Probably similar to what he's experiencing ever since he started running for MP. Can't wait to see more of that!

This episode felt like fresh air because we were somewhere completely different, and Jeng and Pok felt like a nice addition to the story line at that point. They show Zo what a happy queer couple can look like and that it is not something impossible.The last part of this episode especially caught my attention because Zo and Joke again have a great dialogue that exist for their characters to get to know each other better. I think this is a thing that is often overlooked, but these types of dialogues make a character well-rounded and also shows where they complement each other or where they might struggle. What I definitely did not see coming was Zo going in for the kiss! I really thought that he would stop before, someone would stop them, or he didn't even want to kiss Joke but no—no he really did kiss him. And what a beautiful kiss it was! I really loved how Dunk portrays Zo's nervousness: his shaking lips, his eyes that can't seem to focus, and his hands that can't stand still. I was literally holding my breath!

This is the episode where I knew "Ok, this one got me, and I'm not going anywhere" To be fully honest tho: I would have watched the entire show either way, but episode 3 just really hooked me. I'm a sucker for the entire "mock-date" scenario because it gave us a cute date between them without it being the "real deal". However, we were still blessed with Zo kind of realizing that he may have/not have feelings for Joke/Nita. My favourite scene was the shopping scene when Joke was holding up that skirt and Zo's voice went up to the sky – super cute!

This episode shows you how important it is to communicate your thoughts and feelings because it sets boundaries, gives the opportunity to get to know one another and yourself better.And we have a well-rounded female character who actually is a nice person and comes with their own mind, characteristics, and problems and doesn't only exist as a cheap plot device for drama!Also, this episode just served me with the cutest intimacy scene ever! Back-hugs are now my new favourite thing! Joong and Dunk just never disappoint with their chemistry and their acting skills improved a lot! I feel the butterflies tenfold through the screen!
