Hils Watches Unknown - Ep 11

Wow apparently all it takes is one hand grab

Wow it really did just take one hand grab. I thought they were at least going to have a conversation. Silly me for thinking Wei Qian would use his words.

You're asking him that now?

NOOOO! It was all in his head! Damn that one actually fooled me

Wait, maybe it's not in his head. That might just be a flashback to how they ended up in bed together.

YAY it was real

Wei Zhiyuan: I hope she doesn't figure out that me and Wei Qian had sex Wei Lili: OMG HAVE YOU MURDERED HIM???

Well, you could call it that

I want to play this dating game they are developing. Considering I am aroace I actually really love playing dating games. I haven't played one in ages. I think the last one was Boyfriend Dungeon

Oh my god are the unhinged gang leader and the snarky doctor going to get together???

I definitely did not have this on my bingo card

Okay maybe not but I kind of want it to now?

Okay now I'm back to being worried again

Is he going to go off and have brain surgery without telling anyone?

Wow he is!

It's like you don't even know him

Okay, so he hasn't actually had the surgery yet I think he was just making the appointment for it?

A very mindful deep dive into Nicola's posts.

DISCLAIMER: This is LUKOLALAND only. Do not read if you're not a shipper. This is PURE SPECULATION. No harm intended.

Recently, the ever-graceful and thoughtful Nicola has been quite active on Instagram, treating us to regular posts. True to her style, each post is carefully considered, and as always, she's been incredibly mindful of her audience. With every update, she's sent Lukolaland into a whirlwind of excitement or total chaos, as fans eagerly dissect each post in search of hidden meanings. Even when we're unsure of the exact message, the theories continue to swirl.

 Theory 1 The scrabble game is a message for the Adjacent.

N likes scrabble and she has a degree in English, take that in account.The words on the board appear to be randomly placed without an immediately obvious hidden message. However, we could interpret or connect the words in various ways to find underlying messages based on the context, a complex and layered message, potentially from N to someone possibly "A".  Here’s my interpretation using literal meanings, slang and abbreviations.

DAD: Might refer to L (N and L are referred to as Mom and Dad), bringing in a personal element to the message.

DIRT: Refers to something unethical or malicious, indicating wrongdoing.

DEAD: N might be signaling that something is irrevocably over.

FATE: suggesting that no matter the actions taken, some outcomes are destined.

LIED: Suggests that someone has been dishonest. N might be accusing "A" of lying or referring to a broader context where lies have played a significant role.

LAG: Could suggest that someone has been slow to act, respond, or understand the situation. It might imply that someone has been too slow to realize the consequences of their actions or has been dragging their feet in addressing something important. Could refer to L

HUG: Could signify a need for her to comfort L, showing that despite everything, there’s still a longing for connection.

HEY A: a greeting or attention-grabber, setting up the following points.

WATCH: A warning to "A" to be cautious, as something is about to unfold.

HIL: Indicates that "he is leaving," possibly confirming that L is departing or has already decided to leave.

WOO: Implies attempts to win someone over, possibly through romantic gestures.

RIB:(slang) Implies teasing or provocation, possibly indicating a tense or challenging dynamic.

GIZMOS: Represents unknown factors or tools that are in play, adding complexity to the situation.

OOMS: One of my subscribers Refers to A or an unspecified party involved in the situation who monitors N’s activity on social networks

WERE: Suggesting it’s in the past now.

FLED: Suggests that someone may have run away or is trying to escape the situation.

FEAR: Indicates that fear might have motivated A’s actions or warns her of the consequences that should be feared.

RIV: Conveys feistiness and readiness to the fight.

PRUNE:(slang) Refers to someone being foolish, which could be an insult or critique directed at "A."

PRINT: Suggests that something may have been a scandal or will become public knowledge, hinting at exposure.

MINT: Could refer to money, possibly hinting at financial motivations or consequences.

SEX: Implies that intimacy or sexual manipulation was used, perhaps as a diversion or as a key factor in the situation.

STONE: (slang) testicles symbolizes courage or resilience, possibly suggesting that someone needs to be strong in the face of adversity.

JET: Suggests leaving quickly, possibly advising "A" to be prepared to depart or implying that someone has already left.

The combination of these words suggests an undercurrent of tension, with themes of trust, control, exposure, and perhaps an attempt to seek comfort or truth in a challenging situation. It might be a reflection possibly relating to a complex relationship or public scrutiny. The mix of positive and negative words could imply that N feels wronged, is seeking validation, or is trying to navigate a challenging situation.

Theory 2 Her post for her best friend birthday, a jab at N’s friends.

N knows how to kill two birds with one stone. She posted pictures of her with her best friend C with the following caption:

“Happy Birthday @C I love you so much that I could never imagine my life without you!!! Remember the time paparazzi took a picture of us and to protect me you grabbed my face?”

This seems a little bit random but it’s not. It’s actually quite relevant. During that time, Luke’s friends faced a lot of backlash for revealing his whereabouts and private activities supposedly without his consent or knowledge, with some even speculating they were in cahoots with the paparazzi. In contrast, Nicola’s post demonstrated how a true friend should act in such situations, and C perfectly exemplifies what genuine friendship looks like. They should take notes and thank those ladies for this masterclass.

Theory 3: Bless the telephone is for L

Bless the Telephone" is a soulful, gentle song by Labi Siffre The song's theme revolves around the significance of hearing the voice of a loved one through the telephone. It's a reflection on how such a small and ordinary act receiving a phone call can bring immense happiness and a sense of closeness, even when physically apart.

The lyrics express gratitude for the ability to connect with someone dear, emphasizing the warmth and reassurance that a simple phone call can bring.

“It's nice to hear your voice again I've waited all day long Even wrote a song for you It's strange, the way you make me feel With just a word or two I'd like to do the same for you

It's nice to hear you say "hello" And "how are things with you? I love you" But very soon it's time to go An office job to do While I'm here writing songs for you

Strange How a phone call can change your day Take you away Away The lyrics express the joy and comfort found in hearing someone's voice,This could relate to Nicola's feelings towards Luke, where she yearns for a connection that might have been strained or weakened these past months.

The line, "I've waited all day long, even wrote a song for you," suggests one person putting in a lot of effort to maintain or reignite the connection, while the other person is busy. This could symbolize an imbalance in their relationship, where N feels she is investing more emotionally while L may be preoccupied with other aspects of his life.

This could reflect how N might feel that despite the challenges in their relationship, small gestures from L still have the power to bring her joy and remind her of their connection.

N perceives L's words or actions as powerful enough to change her day or mood, highlighting the sensitivity and emotional investment she has in their relationship.

This song could be N's way of communicating that she values the connection they share and is thankful for it, no matter how small or brief their interactions might be.

The song captures the bittersweet reality of how something as simple as a phone call can momentarily lift someone's spirits, even when the underlying issues in the relationship remain unresolved.

Theory 4 Juna is about L

“Come to me slowly

It's when you talk close enough That I feel it on my skin, breathe it in Most of these days (most of these days) I don't get too intimate Why would I let you in? (Why would I let you in?) But I think again

I don't even try I don't have to think With you, there's no pretending

You know me, you know me And I just might know you too, know you Come to me ready”

The song "Juna" by Clairo revolves around themes of intimacy, vulnerability, and authenticity in relationships. It conveys the idea of gradually opening up to someone special, letting down emotional barriers, and allowing yourself to be truly seen and understood by another person.

Clairo's lyrics suggest that being with someone who knows you deeply brings out the best in you, inspiring you to explore new facets of your identity and live life more fully. Overall, "Juna" is a celebration of genuine human connection and the beauty of sharing meaningful experiences with someone who truly understands you.

N could be sharing a part of her emotional world, inviting L to understand her feelings on a deeper level.

The lyrics express a hesitation to become too intimate or let someone in easily ("Most of these days I don't get too intimate"). This could symbolize N's cautious approach towards deepening her emotional connection with L, possibly due to past experiences or fear of getting hurt. N said that she hasn’t been in love since she was 9.

Despite the caution, there is an acknowledgment that with this person, there's no need for pretense ("With you, there's no pretending"). This line could reflect how N feels a genuine and effortless connection with L where she can be her true self without having to put up any walls. She has always stated that L is a special relationship in her life like no other.

The lyrics suggest a mutual understanding and recognition between the two ("You know me, you know me, And I just might know you too"). This could indicate that N feels that L understands her on a deep level, and she believes she understands him as well, that there is a strong bond between them.

The invitation to "Come to me slowly" and "Come to me ready" implies a desire for the relationship to progress at a pace that allows both to be fully prepared and present. This could signify N's hope that their relationship will continue to grow, but at a pace where both she and L are emotionally ready to embrace it fully.

These lyrics reflect the delicate balance of vulnerability, caution, and deep connection. N may be grappling with the tension between her natural inclination to protect herself and the undeniable bond she feels with Luke. The song captures the idea that true intimacy takes time and readiness, and it suggests a hopeful anticipation of deepening that connection when both are fully prepared.

Conclusion on both songs: I I believe both songs are directed towards L because N is a very private person, and she’s fully aware of what Lukolaland thinks and hopes for. I don’t see her intentionally misleading a large part of her audience. I also think she was in love with L during the PR tour, and the distance and awkwardness we’ve seen between them wouldn’t exist if those kinds of feelings weren’t involved. The feelings seem mutual, and there’s an undeniable strong bond between them, as many in the fandom believe. It’s rare to have that with someone, let alone multiple people.

She isn’t missing EF or JD, as she’s been seen with them recently, and it’s safe to assume they’ve been in touch. If she were dating one of them, they’d already be together, and she wouldn’t be waiting for him to be ready. There are countless love songs she could have chosen, yet she picked these specific ones.

For those who doubted her intentions, she responded beautifully with a framed picture captioned: “Very demure, very mindful.” She loves a double entendre.

Final thoughts:

I believe that Nicola is very deliberate and thoughtful in how, when, and why she engages with her audience. She’s incredibly smart and aware, and while she might have a busy life, this kind of interaction is a meaningful part of it. Despite her being very demure, she’s also very human and very mindful and not above sending subtle messages. This is one of the reasons we admire her so much. While we might tend to overanalyze her every move, there’s often an underlying message in what she shares. These messages are usually intended for everyone because she chooses to make them public, rather than keeping them private or posting them only on her personal Instagram. She considers her fans and communicates with them in this way. I think she enjoys being playful and giving us little challenges. For me, it’s: Message received, challenge accepted.

*Correction: I've come to realize that I made a mistake. When Nicola said she hasn't been in love since she was 9, she was actually making a comparison with Penelope.

RP Hooks—— —

The Silver Hand - Hildira is a knight of the Silver Hand- the Alliance’s proud order of paladins. This could make her a worthwhile ally to have, or a dangerous enemy to meet. She’s an experienced paladin, always able to offer advice or lend a hand.

Knight-Errant - Before the Legion came, Hildira was a knight-errant, wandering the Eastern Kingdoms and doing good wherever she could. Now with the Blood War in full swing, she’s returned to that life in part- assisting on the home front whilst training her apprentice.

Legionfall Champion - Hildira, a paladin, worked with the Armies of Legionfall during the war against the Legion. She led ground forces in assaults against demonic targets and was one of the Silver Hand knights who even worked with warlocks and demon hunters. When the battle moved to Argus, Hildira was there as well- maybe she could run into a former comrade?

Vrykul Enthusiast - Hildira took a strong interest in the warrior culture of the Tideskorn when she was in Stormheim. she’d love to meet more Vrykul- or perhaps fellow adventurers who know more about them.

4/8/17. Back on the road

Hil and I spent two lovely relaxing days as guests at Ruth and Lonan's house in Caromb and gave you all a break from this blog. Without a car, and being too hot to walk anywhere we sat in the shade of the garden, strolling into the village for dinner each evening. Our preferred restaurant last night was "complet " so we had a simple supper watching the sun set over the Dentelles de Montmiraill. Neither of us slept well, and when the taxi collected Hilary I pedalled off with the expected heavy heart. I stopped for provisions in Mazan where the Marquis de Sade used to live; his chateau is now a hotel with nice gardens and an interesting collection of "artefacts ". I whipped myself into action and sped along despite 30 degrees and arrived in Avignon for coffee in the main square, surrounded by gangs of bored tourists plodding round, plugged into their pre-recorded commentary, trailing behind bony women with pinched lips and tired eyes. The grumpy waiter took my €2 for a small coffee and refused to refill my bidon- the first time this has happened to me, ever! I made my feelings known and cycled off, hurling foul oaths over my shoulder. I had followed the route Gareth Mike and I had taken three years ago and felt their presence alongside me until I passed the train station where I was able to shake off their ghosts and set off south into unknown territory. The direct route to my hotel today was only 80 km so I decided my mood would improve with the rhythm of the road and decided to detour to St Remy de Provence where Gareth once sat on my shoulders and gorged on cherries. I failed to find the cherry tree and carried on along tree lined avenues to Arles which has always held a certain magic for me since studying Van Gogh in school. The temperature rose to an oppressive 42 and I stopped for my picnic under a tree near an empty sports ground. The land shimmered in the heat; nothing moved, not a dog, not a bird,even the cicadas had taken a siesta. It was too uncomfortable to stay long and at least when you are moving you create your own breeze. The heat bounced off the tarmac and the buildings and although I drank plenty it tasted like water from the hot tap. Fortunately I only climbed about 600m today; after 113km I arrived at my hotel, sank 2 quick beers and retired gratefully to my air conditioned room. The scenery has changed once again- the rows of vines of the southern Cotes du Rhone have given way to nameless arable crops, the roads lined by murky irrigation ditches with bamboo in every verge. It seems incomprehensible that a week ago I was high in the Alps and am now in the boiling cauldron of the south. Tomorrow I cross the Camargue!

Hils Watches Unknown - Ep 1

Now that I'm back from my sister's wedding it's time to start a new drama. Someone on Bluesky recommended this one and it's been a while since I watched a Taiwanese BL. I think the last one was Kiseki: Dear to Me which I loved so I am hopeful for this one too

There's a lot of time skips happening which I'm struggling to keep up with. It was 2013 a couple of minutes ago so are we going backwards? I like that this is about a family of siblings though. Well, two blood siblings and a kid that was found on the streets and adopted?

Ah, okay, this is the flashback to when they first met

It's like when people put food out for feral cats to try and domesticate them but instead of ending up with a pet he's going to end up with a brother/boyfriend

Maybe you should have thought of that before you started taking care of him

I do like that the Taiwanese BLs are a little bit darker. Not all of them, but a few that I've watched. It's a nice change from the usual college romances.

Aww this is very sweet but also very violent

Love it when they explain everything that's happened between the last flashback and now

Well, that's the end of the first episode. That was a lot of setup and establishment of characters and not much plot so I'm not fully on board yet but I'm definitely interested enough to try the next episode

[hils79]

Hils Watches Unknown - Ep 12

I actually think Taiwanese BLs are just about the perfect length. Thai ones tend to be a bit too long, and Japanese and Korean ones are a bit too short. 12 eps of 30 mins feels about right.

Anyway, here we are at the end.

I legit forgot that she doesn't know about them

What about brother in law? He didn't change gender all of a sudden

OMG is she pregnant?

Apparently this is the everyone finds out episode

You're supposed to be encouraging him to take a break not giving him an incentive to keep working!

I do love that their whole office is full of shippers

BABY!

I mean I was wondering that too. Does that make me a bad person?

I love how stabby Wei Qian gets when he's being protective over his sister

BABY!

Aww yay happy ending! I was worried for a while it was going to end on a downer

That was cute! I wasn't super emotionally invested in this one like I have been in some other dramas but it was very enjoyable.

Going on a break now. I'm heading up to Scotland on Saturday to spend a week with my parents so I'm not going to start another drama until I'm back

[hils79]

Hils Watches Unknown - Ep 10

Oh shit I knew I was right to be worried about all his headaches and fainting. If this has a sad ending I am going to flip a table.

Yikes! But that's treatable, right? I was imagining a tumour or something

I mean I'm worried and I'm not the one who's in love with him

I know I was mad at him for a bit but I do think he's the only sensisble person in this drama

[hils79]

Hils Watches Unknown - Ep 9

He's very confident since getting back from the US

Wait, he's been gone for 4 years??? I thought it was like 6 months.

And suddenly Wei Zhiyuan is half naked

You've earned money so you shouldn't spend it?

I was wondering how much more story they had to tell considering there's still 3 episodes left. Of course Wei Qian's gang background has come back to bite him.

I am willing to bet money that he did not actually say 'heck'

Dude, don't go through your brother's stuff.

Wait, has Wei Zhiyuan been working for the gang boss this whole time? I have so many questions.

Calling it now Wei Zhiyuan is going to get hurt and that will be what makes Wei Qian finally realise he has feelings that go beyond brotherly for him

Yep, there we go. Well, the first part at least.

Hardened gang leader says heck, reformed gang member and now good boy protagonist says 'fuck you, cunt'. Amazing. I knew Wei Qian would lose his goddamn mind if Wei Zhiyuan got hurt

Dude, please stop scratching your head with a loaded gun. You literally just fired that thing a minute ago.

Well, I was sort of right. Nothing like an unhinged gang boss playing russian roulette with your brother to make you realise how much he means to you I guess

"Oh, btw, I nearly died while I was abroad and wrote a letter confessing my love in case I didn't survive"

[hils79]

Hils Watches Unknown - Ep 8

Back for less than a day and in Wei Qian's bedroom again already

Ehehe! He's so used to Wei Zhiyuan looking after him that he just assumed that the glass of water was for him. Of course Wei Zhiyuan is a good boy who serves his guests first. I hope this is a sign that Wei Zhiyuan isn't totally co-dependent now. That would not be a healthy relationship (although come on I love ships that are unhealthily obsessed too)

Yes, he's matured on purpose

Ehehe! He's got a hickey. I really hope Wei Lili gave it to him

EHEHE! She totally did! She's got one too!

YAY! Wei Qian is about to lose his mind! 😂

Where's my popcorn?

Okay it's fruit rather than popcorn but this is basically me right now

Um...please don't burn the house down

Personal space is for other people

Excellent. More soup feeding.

You definitely don't need to be that close to fix his collar. I am loving this. I'm not sure Wei Qian is though 😁

Right idea, wrong genre

I'm honestly not sure how I feel about all this. He keeps getting in Wei Qian's personal space and talking vaguely about his feelings. Why can you not just talk this out like adults?

Definitely not a greenscreen

Aww

Besides everything you say and do?

[hils79]

Hils Watches Unknown - Ep 7

I wonder how long it's going to take Wei Qian to realise that sending Wei Zhiyuan away was A Mistake

Well, it hasn't taken him long to fall apart without Wei Zhiyuan there to take care of him anyway

Ooh Wei Lili and Tan Yu are going out together because Wei Qian is too drunk and sad to go with them. I wonder if this is going to become A Thing.

I'm getting quite concerned about all his headaches and fainting. This had better not have a sad ending! I don't come to Taiwanese BLs for sad endings!

Oh here we go

It's very sweet that he's decided to take care of Wei Zhiyuan's things while he's gone but but don't change the bulb in his lamp and then just leave it on. He doesn't live there!

Ooh you can tell time has passed because the cactus has grown

Okay, is this A Thing that I am somehow missing the nuance of? Because he just turned the lamp on again and left the room again.

Aww he's got Empty Nest Syndrome. I mean Wei Zhiyuan probably would have gone to university anyway but probably somewhere a bit closer than the other side of the world and you're the one who sent him there.

Aww they're finally talking

Aww yay!

Of course he came straight back as soon as Wei Qian told him he could

Now I know I'm watching a Priest adaptation

Has anyone read the novel this is adapted from btw? I'm vaguely curious about reading it now.

[hils79]

Hils Watches Unknown - Ep 6

I can't believe I'm halfway through this already

Dude he's got a crush no one is suggesting they get married

DUDE!

He's not trying to force anything he's just quietly pining by himself. Leave him alone!

I mean this almost feels like a proposal so I don't blame you for mistaking cufflinks for rings

God, this poor kid having the subject of his crush talk to him about his crush without realising

Time for some role reveral caretaking. Now Wei Zhiyuan has a fever.

No, you should be in bed! Is he going to show up at the office and then faint dramatically?

Oh no he threw the nice pen that was a gift to his brother from a woman into the bin. I'm sure this won't backfire later

Oh no he's sick and now he's getting drunk too. OH SHIT is this the point where he confesses. I can't remember what he was wearing during the confession scene at the start of the first episode.

Ooh rejected before she could even make a move

Ah, yes, it's confession time. I remember them being in a storage closet

Like logically I know it's not his fault but as soon as Tan Yu talked to Wei Zhiyuan about his crush everything went to shit

God, this poor kid :(

Sweetie nothing about this situation is straight

God, he always does what his brother wants even when it hurts him

Yeah, I hope you feel bad

[hils79]

Hils Watches Unknown - Ep 5

Is this a 'have you tried not being gay' conversation?

Just in case you'd forgotten

Yeah, sweetie, we know

Oh no a rich and hot woman is interested in his brother

Why take pills for a headache when I can just give you a massage instead

Love me some gentle hair stroking

LMAO the way he walked in, immediately assumed Wei Qian was snuggling with a lover and walked back out. Then after a second he was like 'wait this is Wei Qian who has never expressed interest in anyone' and walked back into the room again

He's like 'brothers don't snuggle in bed like that when they are both adults'

"I only let him snuggle me because I don't want him to think I'm homophobic." Sure, Jan.

Well at least someone has eyes

Dude, she's talking about sharing a bed with her biological brother when she was a kid

He's like 'don't forget Wei Zhiyuan isn't your biological brother so don't let him sleep with you' and Wei Lili knows what's up

I love that not only is she not shocked by the suggestion she doesn't care either

These two are like me

Personal space is for other people

Everyone ships it

Uh oh

Uh oh

[hils79]

Hils Watches Unknown - Ep 4

Now I need to know whether this is a real novel or not

The homoeroticism of wrapping your brother's hand so you can teach him how to box. Love that the wrapping is red so it's a wedding or the red string of fate

Poor boy just wants to pine for his brother and read his gay romance novels. Wei Qian is like 'no you must do manly thing like punch me in the face!' Although I'm sure there's some underlying trauma related reason for Wei Qian to want his brother to be able to defend himself

Poor Wei Zhiyuan is probably dying inside right now

You don't know how to explain that your brother likes gay romance novels and movies?

He had one whole friend in high school and he picked the kid who had the same birthday as his brother. Wow.

I am definitely feeling fine and normal about them

Wait, are they just going to leave their bikes at the side of the road because Wei Qian twisted his ankle?

God, he's clearly not used to having someone take care of him. He was abused by his mother, and then raised two kids by himself where he had to be the strong one.

I don't know why but I'm a real sucker for the leaning across someone to put their seatbelt on for them trope

This is so tragic because the drama opened with Wei Zhiyuan confessing and being rejected so we know it's building towards that.

Pretty sure this is just Wei Zhiyuan's imagination

[hils79]

Hils Watches Unknown - Ep 3

Aww Wei Zhiyuan is all grown up and helping to save his brother's business

I know they made this point in the previous episode but the two of them really are more like Wei Lili's parents than her brothers

Oh no Wei Qian has a fever and thinks his sister is their mother. This poor boy really needs a bucketload of therapy

Uh oh. He's got tattoos so he's probably evil

Well this drama is certainly giving me plenty of whump

Oh! Tattoo guy actually did just take her to the hospital and then dropped her off at home after

Is he still wearing the clothes he had on when he passed out the night before? Where are the striped hospital pyjamas?

I'm always a sucker for a gay soup feeding scene

And now it's snuggle time

Yeah, but we don't have guns. Like the UK isn't great but I'd say it's safer than the US if those are your two options for Wei Zhiyuan to study abroad.

I do like the little captions at the end of each episode about the different types of family

[hils79]

Hils Watches Love Me, Love My Voice - Ep 12

Ehehe! Not busted after all, just spotted as a regular

Oh no he's pretending they just met. I'm sure that won't backfire somewhere down the line

Apparently being a voice actor and a doctor is more common than you might think

Oh noooo Gu Sheng's friend has applied for a job at Mo Qingcheng's studio. Soon everyone is going to know his secret identity

Oh my god! You're waiting to hear about your dream job why would you reject an unknown number!

I ship them

This poor woman keeps shooting her shot and not getting the message that he's not interested. Admittedly he's just mostly ignoring her rather than telling her he's not interested.

I'm glad they're back to being adorable and have stopped being all awkward around each other

Aww bike snuggles

Gah they are so cute

HAHA! This reminds me of that bit in the first episode of Love Tractor where Ye Chan calls Seon Yul 'ahjussi'

I love that Gu Sheng was like 'no one's home I'll show you my house' and there's literally five people there

[hils79]

Hils Watches Enchanté - Ep 9

I really hope this isn't going to be like Plus & Minus where the story reached a natural ending point and then there was two episodes of totally unnecessary drama just to pad it out. I'm glad, for now at least, they can actually kiss when they start play fighting.

Of course they would make being boyfriends into a silly contest too. God, they are idiots and I love them so much.

What exactly does he thing French people are like? Does he think the entire population of France is just making out all the time?

I really hope the next two episodes are just Theo and Akk being nauseatingly in love while everyone around them slowly figures out they are dating. These two both seem to be okay with it, and we know Theo's mum isn't homophobic given she was encouraging him to date Saifa. Just Theo's dad who is the unknown entity...

Weirdly the Thai drama I'm watching with a friend also had one of the leads burn their finger and the other take care of them in the episode we watched yesterday

I looked up the recipe after Theo kept talking about it and it sounds really good! I might have a go at making it some time.

Oh, are we going to resolve stuff with the other boys. Does it make me a bad person if I say I really don't care about them?

Okay, as much as I don't care, I don't like the message that if you finally push back against your abusive mother that she'll keel over and you'll feel guilty for the rest of your life.

I thought for a second there was going to be drama about Akk not watching to do PDA at school.

But he took one look at Theo's sad face and said fuck it. I think if there's going to be drama I don't think it's going to be from them. They are clearly stupidly in love

I swear to god if you fuck with their relationship because you blame Theo for what happened to your mother I will end you (which I realise is impossible because he's a fictional character but you know what I mean)

FFS! They legit made it look like he was about to stab Theo or something but no he just wanted to say 'I've learned my lesson and I'm going to take care of my mother now'. Which I'm not sure should have been what he took away from all this but at least he's not evil?

Okay, is the rest of it going to be about the ones who lied making peace with themselves and with Theo? I'm on board with that. I want Natee to finally realise that Tan is in love with him.

I really want to know if stuff like this actually exists in Thai universities or if it's just a BL thing

Oh no please don't let them argue over money and school gossip. Come on they've been friends for literally years. When has Akk ever shown any interest in Theo's money or his dad's position?

Look at this poor sad boy :(

Theo just wants to feed his boyfriend but Akk is now worried about what everyone is saying. I don't like it!

For a second I thought Akk had decided to get over it and shower Theo with rose petals but nope a bucket nearly landed on Theo's head 😂 Luckily Akk, as always, was there to save him.

OMG PARENTAL DIVORCE PLOT TWIST???

Saifa is a good boy. I'm sorry I said I didn't like you.

I mean surely she must have realised that by inviting one of Theo's friends to her studio that he was going to find out about all this.

OH NO AKK KNEW ABOUT THE PARENTAL DIVORCE! Okay, so maybe they WILL be the source of the drama after all.

I mean, yes, everyone around Theo has lied to him and I totally understand him being upset. BUT HE ALSO INVENTED A WHOLE SECRET ADMIRER JUST TO GET AKK TO CONFESS HIS FEELINGS. Everyone in this is a liar.

Oh, good, Jimmy is here to make things better. Or possibly make them worse.

Yep, worse.
