I am here for 'break all branded pairs' the agenda and this only makes me more sure I'd enjoy it. Tongfah is adorable and this is the happiest I've seen Arm so far. Absolutely love them.

Canon can go to hell, I ship these two and nothing can stop me.

Tongfah would have let him eat his crispy pork!

Who the Heck is This Izumi Chick?!

Besides just being the club mama….

First off, she seems like a kind person and as Kamiya stated, definitely not suited to be wrapped up in the Yakuza-girly lifestyle. I'm going to throw out a few speculations as to what her relationship to Doumeki could be and her importance to the plot. These ideas are based off of theories I have read and my own thoughts/interpretations :)

Doumeki's confidant/friend This does seem out of character for Doumeki but I'll list it as a possibility anyway. Maybe they're just friends and he confides in her about emotional things, his past?. Maybe she knows about everything that happened four years ago. She seems to know things about Doumeki that other characters don't. Like how she seemed confused when Kamiya referred to Doumeki as her boyfriend in Ch. 54. Not to mention that Kamiya says "He's always going over to your house" now I know D doesn't like sex that much, lol - at least with people who aren't Y. And he did mention he usually takes care of that himself. Think about it, if they were just sleeping together or in a relationship, there wouldn't be so much ambiguity surrounding their association with each other - Sensei has ofc done this purposefully! She wouldn't be acting so "weird" about it, if you ask me. Maybe she knows Aoi or helps D keep tabs on his family and gets money to them. idk idk idk, ahhhh! OOOO maybe when after kamiya left and izumi repeated to herself his words, "Not suited, huh." It was something she heard before from someone - D maybe? what could this meannn. What other reason could D have for visiting her all of the time? Do you think she's seen him smile? That would be adorable if it was a friendship. It would definitely be nice, but this is my theory that I think is the most off and doesn't fit the plot/characters. womp womp.

Secret tattoo Artist Not very likely Imo, I feel like a person would have come to the house (I'm not familiar with where irezumi is normally done in the yakuza) to do D's tattoo or he would go to the same person who did Tsukanawa's. I'm not sure if he got the tattoo after he saved Niki - I'm pretty sure he did - but maybe Tsukanawa and the others suggested he get one after his noble feat? Like an emblem. Maybe Tsukanawa offered to pay for it? Also, I saw a post on here that said D's tattoo didn't look finished yet, but I disagree. If that were so, I think Y would have mentioned it or something - or maybe it would be more obvious to the reader that it is still in progress. Y just says, "he went and got a back tattoo" and not something like "The idiot's got a half-baked tattoo on his back." AND if she did tattoos, I'm sure it wouldn't be a secret to everyone else. AND if the reason D was over her apartment all of the time was because of his tattoo that wouldn't make sense because you need time to heal between sessions and his back would be protected with something if he was.

Sex Buddy (turned friend) I could definitely see D attempting to get over Y in some way over the 4 years they were apart - albeit clinging onto hope that one day - somehow - they would reconnect. And during that period, I can imagine him experimenting with another person to "get over" Y (as if) or just to explore his own sexuality in a healthy way - especially as he matured and formed his own identity separate from Y. Maybe it started as sex, and they became friends? I still don't know though, because he is so terrified of being a rapist like his dad with Y, so it's also hard to imagine him - pardon my language - dominating a woman like that. Especially if what happened with Aoi still lingers in his mind. Even though Y tried to comfort him I'm sure he still feels the guilt. Saving Niki may have helped his guilt though - finally being able to successfully protect someone he cares for. ALSO, D denies having a woman when asked by Tsukanawa several times, but when Y assumes he has a woman during their encounter in Ch. 46 he confirms that he does. which is it Doumeki? Sounds suspicious to me. And it's not as if he is too shy to tell his boss that he has a woman, I mean he told Tsukanawa about his jerking off habits soooo.... I think he said this to make Y jealous - he was even looking away from Y with his head hung down as he answered the question...

Plot Driver Assuming my first theory to be true: Maybe something happens with the yakuza plot to where D is in a really bad situation (about the money he stole, Misumi, involvement with Y, disobeying Tsukanawa, current group drama, etc) and Izumi is the one to offer up crucial information about his past that ends up helping him?

A query... In Ch. 46 Izumi asks Kamiya not to spread around rumors of her and D's assumed relationship status because it might cause trouble. My question is why? What kind of trouble? Why would them dating be an issue? Thoughts?

Please share your thoughts also! And be well people <3

Disclaimer: These are purely my own ideas/theories/opinions, and they are all most likely incorrect lol. I'm just having fun speculating about what's to come :D

And this is exactly why Kao should not be treating Yak. Of course he’s lying about his symptoms when his therapist is his boyfriend’s best friend!

Only Friends Predictions

Purely for my own entertainment, I want to make Only Friends predictions now so that I can refer to them later and see how accurate they turn out to be (which I don’t have too high of hopes for, but I’m gonna go for it anyway). I’m gonna make these attempts based on what we know so far/what some members of the cast have said.

I would be really interested though to see other predictions? Who do you think will end up together? Speculating is the only way I know to pass the time before it airs, lol.

In short:

- Ray and Sand will end up together. 

- Boston and Nick will be split. Boston will still be alone, but Nick will have moved on to someone new. 

- Top will have cut ties with the group after Boston ruins his relationship with Mew. Mew and Ray will continue to be friends, but Mew will remain alone (but content). 

Of course, this could be totally off, but I’m going with it now based purely on ✨vibes✨

Getting into the details...

SandRay

First and Khaotung said that their storyline is emotional compared to the hotness of the other couples’ storylines. I also know that Jojo has a thing for mixing up established pairings. As we’ve seen, the messiness of SandRay’s relationship really revolves around Ray’s feelings for Mew. But if they keep Sand’s characterization from the trailer, he won’t stand for any of Ray’s crap (“I won’t be in anyone’s choices.”). Does this mean Sand will end things and leave Ray to grovel for his affections again? Will Ray confess to Mew, and come crawling back to Sand after being rejected? Will Sand keep standing up for himself, or will Ray make some grand gesture to win him back? Can he be won back?

Even though this series is being marketed as messy, toxic, and chaotic, I’m certain there will be some core thematic aspects at play in each characters’ relationships. For SandRay (and BostonNick, I’d argue), self-worth could be a fundamental aspect. How much do you value the relationship, versus how much do you value yourself? I also wonder to what extent there could be a privilege check for Ray’s character. We know he’s wealthy and a playboy, but will his wealth create a division between him and Sand? Will Ray change himself? Obviously I’m posing a lot of questions, but until we get more info, I’m going to predict that Ray and Sand will end up together in the end, mostly because I think Ray navigating his feelings for both Sand and Mew--and coming to terms with what these feelings say about himself--would find its natural conclusion in Sand. Given what FirstKhao have said about how emotional their storyline is, I think it’s clear the feelings run deep for both of them. Also, I’m getting the sense from the trailer that Ray’s crush on Mew is unrequited.

Finally, FirstKhao have made a comment about their characters ending up together. They did say this before filming I believe, so might take it with a grain of salt. 

BostonNick

My biggest dilemma at this point is figuring out how the SandRay plot will differ from the BostonNick one, because both Nick and Sand and Boston and Ray are in a similar position. Nick, to me, seems more likely to beg for Boston’s affection while Sand seems more ready to let all hell break loose and cut ties. In other words, Sand’s reaction in the trailer might indicate that he values himself too much to stand for Ray’s indecision from the get go. For Nick, this could be more of a slow-building awareness. By that I mean, I could see Nick coming to understand that Boston doesn’t deserve his affection if he’s going to disregard his feelings and treat him as a fwb when Nick keeps pushing for something more. I could see Nick making a stand, essentially telling Boston “him or me?” and Boston choosing Top...only for Top to cut ties with Boston after messing up his relationship with Mew. In short, I foresee Boston getting the worst outcome of everyone. But maybe this is just because he seems to be responsible for most of the chaos in the trailer.

TopMew

Top and Mew as an established couple in the trailer seems like the most likely endgame--and that’s exactly why I think they won’t end up together. I have a hard time believing Mew will just let Top off once he knows about his relationship with Boston. (I’m operating under the assumption here that Boston and Top resume their affair while Top and Mew are together...at least for a little while.) I could see Top keeping up his fwb relationship with Boston for a short time into his relationship with Mew, but as he gets more serious about Mew, he tries to cut things off with Boston. And that’s when the whole situation gets out of hand and Boston essentially confesses to Mew about their secret relationship. 

Mew is also presented as content with his solitude; he only pursues a relationship with Top when Boston pairs them up. If anything, this entire situation could serve as a lesson for him. And if I’m right in predicting (hoping) that Ray will undergo a big moral shift from beginning to end, then I could see their friendship being a core part of the series. (I think it would also be good representation to keep them together as healthy friends despite Ray’s previous crush.) 

...As for how Sea could factor into any of this (if he really is going to play some part in the series), I’ve seen speculation that he could be a possible love interest for Sand. I think it would depend on how big of a role he’s given. I’m sure it’ll be a cameo either way, but how much of one is questionable. He could be involved in an episode or two to stir up some drama and equal things out between Sand and Ray; I think that’s a strong possibility (and the drama would be oh so juicy). Or maybe he ends up with Nick, if Nick moves on from Boston? So many possibilities.

- X - 

OK, so that’s my thought process at this current moment, but tomorrow I could have a wildly different one. If anyone is thinking completely differently, I’d be curious to hear your thoughts. In the meantime, I’m gonna go stew over this some more until we finally get a trailer (Jojo, I’m begging). 

[xmiss-behavex]

this mf REALLY wants someone who will do it raw with him wtf lol

[littleragondin]

Episode 1 truly said "look at Uea's beautiful hands" and I didn't need to be told twice.

Points for King's too...

Other sets in the Hands Series: Ep.1, 4, 5, 6, 7

Darling Chain, the only person who doesn't know... is Pun.

I love it when they make the same joke I was thinking.

And that was all it took. Oh, these two idiots.

I love all of these idiots.

[sunshineapparition]

hello! i have seen that mosbank with pete did an interview with Pedro Parada, so I decided to write it down

note: it wasn't really full of spoilers, more feel-good interview, you know

How will the relationship between Sun and Lin evolve (from the delicate relationship they're in now)?

- Bank explained that they’ve met through the app thanks to destiny (and destiny will play huge role later, you know, the mystical part, the dreams..)

- ep 3 and 4 are going to be more funny (as they now know who is who, etc.)

What would you do, if you'd discovered your loved one is suddenly your boss?

- Mos: shock, but if his lover is a wealthy boss, he's going to be happy(/successful)

- Bank: love is love, he would risk it for real love as well

- Pete: shock, but if there is genuine bond between him and boss, he will risk it

Do you think that the meeting through dating app could be the modern way of love at first sight?

- Bank thinks so

Can you talk about the first date between Sun and Lin?

- Bank: Sun didn't order enough food for Bank irl, like he would want more; but then explained that it could be so he is not feeling heavy for what's coming next (starving only to be edged lol)

- before dinner, Lin was little bit scared, especially of the red feather, but with the letter and how Sun behaved and explained himself, he warmed up to him, realizing Sun is respectful man and that's what Lin likes

About Pete's character having interesting relationship with Tenon's. How will that go?

- they had bad first impression; but still Yotha thinks that Sam is super handsome -> it's gonna turn into 'the more you hate, the more you gonna love' type of relationship

Yotha and Sam are Lin's and Sun's matchmakers, but why? (we know why Sam finds bfs for Sun - his mother would impose her own finds on Sun otherwise)

- Bank: the reason why they made the account is that Pim (and Yotha maybe too? idk) always had a boyfriend, but Lin never, and the friends do not want him to stay alone, everything was done with a good intention

How do you relate to your own character?

- Mos: Both are handsome and cool

-> 'P'Sun loves Nhu'Lin really much, and Mos also loves Isbanky really much.'

- Bank: Nulin and Isbanky are the same, like Lin has a lot of positive energy, likes to smile, is cute...

- Pete: Yotha and Pete are the same in like 90%, like he's funny, energetic, enthusiastic, but Yotha is explosive sometimes, unlike him irl, he's not aggressive

How was the shooting process of Sunset x Vibes for you?

- Mos: It's his 2nd lead role, and for him this is the perfect shooting schedule/process. He has lot of friends with him, he's surrounded by people he likes and it's fun

- Bank: He's really happy during the shooting, he has been shooting scenes he likes, scenes he thinks his fan will like as well. He would like to make this 100 episodes, not just 12 xdd 'If this gets positive feedback, there will be more episodes’ (i can’t tell if he’s joking or not lol)

- Pete: It's his first time shooting any series, so he's little scared and nervous, but he has friends supporting him and the shooting environment is great for him

If you could choose any character, besides yours, who would you be in the series?

- Mos: Juladis (JJ's character) - this character is very hard to portray, yes it is funny/silly, but hard to execute, and adds lots of color to the story.

- Bank: Yotha - really cute character, you can never really guess how he truly feels, so it's like bit mysterious (also challenging to execute)

- Pete: Juladis for the same reason as Mos; or Sun - he's cool, handsome, has good manners and muscled

Can we expect any new songs?

- also they will, really soon, release smth of Dargon (boyband - Mosbank, JJ, Fong, Pete, Tenon(?))

-> actually the music in the end credits of ep 1 and 2 are from their group!

How would you describe Sunset x Vibes in one word?

- Mos: hot

- Bank: destiny

- Pete: cat (=sometimes cute, sometimes sexy)

Since gmm is apparently announcing their 2024 lineup in a couple weeks, what are you hoping to see? Me personally I just want fluke pusit back pleeeeeease I need to see my mans kissing on my screen again amen

Yes Fluke Pusit LEAD ACTOR gang (with Thor they are SO GOOD) !

Honestly now that GMMtv has true competition in these exponential Thai BL streets all I want is well written, well paced, well acted (generally not a problem here by actors who are COMFORTABLE in their lane) crisply edited ,queer AF shows.

I’m a Phi’ Jojo fan so I hope that he will reap the fruits of Only Friends’ success and be able to experiment even further with a bigger budget (OR REST if he wishes to)

If Firskhao work as a co-branded pair again PLEASE NO PAIN FEST. Let the strong players do romcoms. They are ALSO hard to do.

Pond is going back to Uni and we know Phuwin has several projects but I will take any crumb of Pondphuwin because everybody knows I am a Maxtul nostalgic and they are the only pair that hit that particular spot for me.

I always wish for this agency to do better on their known weaknesses : typecasting, colorism, femme characters adverse, boring female characters, agism (let adults play adults fam), rushing production/editing, uneven scripts. Too many fan meetings /concerts not enough time to let the actors ACT. (I know business is business but a girl can dream) They know. We know they know. We’ll see.

Bonus : If we get Our skyy 3 : MOONLIGHT CHICKEN (even more queer parenting thank you)

Bonus 2 : If they could poach ….,,,. Or the established pair ………. I would make merit, I would.
