The Boy Next World Ep 7 Thoughts

Everyone be proud of me I left the house today and was social. It was great. Even if it meant I couldn't watch shows until later. It's good for me to not be a hermit every once in a while. But now. It is time. If you had told me a month ago that I would be enjoying both a Jittirain show AND a MAME show at the same time, I would have looked at you like you had two heads, seven arms, and drank the sun out of an enchanted goblet. But that's what's happening. Shoutout Perfect 10 Liners can't wait to see where that show is going with this final couple. But you aren't here for that. You are reading this because for some reason y'all like my liveblogs. I'm just a silly little guy posting some thoughts and some of you seem to enjoy my thoughts and I appreciate y'all and love y'all. And you can continue to find my thoughts under the cut:

At some point in this watch, I will be interrupted by my pizza being delivered. I hope. Otherwise that pizza is taking too long to get to me.

Awww cuddle babies

It concerns me that every time I try to watch this show, screaming children appear outside my apartment.

Phu's friends are so incredibly caring.

I get Phu. He goes alone every year. Even though he has so many friends that would be willing to go with him and support him in his grief. I, too, prefer to grieve alone. I think him agreeing to let Cir be there was a little bit for him but more for Cir. Because he knew how worried Cir would be if he went alone.

This theme song still slaps.

I still don't understand the hourglass. And I have decided I don't need to understand it. Just like last week, I'm just vibin. Very mind off show for me. I am enjoying just letting this show do whatever it wants forever. I want this show to blow my mind which means I gotta turn my mind off to ignore some things. So I am actually having a great time. Love all the characters and honestly as long as I love the characters, I'm going to like a show even if the plot is whack. I don't think this plot is whack though. I'm rambling. Someone stop me…oh a message. Perfect timing to stop the ramble. God bless

This is me on a tuk tuk

Also I was so confused when I saved this screenshot because there were none for episode 6 and then I had to remember I didn't have my laptop last weekend. Those were dark times. Dark times indeed.

Awww hand holding. They're sweet

That means this episode is gonna hurt me

Fuck yeah pizza time! Right when our boys start to eat. Thank GOD. I was starving.

I don't care what the show tells me about Phu's mom. I hate her for abandoning her child to deal with his grief on his own. Yeah, she was grieving but she put her own emotional needs over that of her CHILD. And I cannot forgive her for that. Poor Phu.

This show loves mirrors. I wonder why this show called *checks notes* The Boy Next World with implications of *looks down at notes again* parallel worlds loves mirrors so much.

I also love the mirrors. Love a good mirror shot.

Oh this lie is hurting both of them right now so much. "Why does that world Phu have a Cir and I don't" oh baby boy you're breaking my heart. Phu is literally just the sweetest little bean. I hope Cir confesses soon and gets forgiven and they can be in love and happy forever. They don't even need to worry about Cir's mom cause I'll just hire some *cough cough* hitmen to take care of it (they might be retired but I think I can convince them to make an exception. Y'all know they don't like evil mothers)

Why was Cir on that street in the past? Was he stalking Phu? Did he just happen to be there? To be clear, I don't care about the answer, I just want to know.

JIN AND WIM MY BELOVEDS.

Are these two healthy? No. Do I love them? Yes.

I love that Phu does let his friends see him every year but only after he goes alone to see his dad. There's something about that specifically that just hits for me.

Same actor for Thorn. Appreciated. However the implications about this universe now are hilarious to me. Somewhere in TharnType there must be a mind reader. Just because it is so funny. Take this world with complete zero supernatural elements and then in a different show years later, just add some. They were always there but hidden to everyone.

Cir if you don't tell this baby boy soon, I will be throwing hands with you. As much as I love you, I will cut you if you do not confess and put my sweet little angel out of his misery

Boy if there's an unspoken rule not to disturb Phu, why you there? (Do not misunderstand I think him showing up is actually very sweet. Checking on his baby cousin and all).

I love the use of piano in this show.

Don't ask me if this soundtrack is good. I don't know. But what I do know is that I enjoy it. Overall as a soundtrack, I'm pretty sure it's mid, but my god do I vibe with all of the choices it's made. So I'm biased.

Did y'all hear that? That was me screaming

I'm not a fan of kissing to shut someone up. I'm also not a fan of kissing without consent. However, here, I'm gonna ignore that because I love these two and also Jin can read Wim's mind and he knows that Jin felt something earlier. I also think Jin is about to push Wim off of him and scold him too. Very old school of this couple and weirdly, I'm not mad at it. Who have I become?

Why is there light on only one side. WHY IS ONE SIDE DARK.

And now it's Cir in the light? What does it MEAN. No one tell me I don't want to know.

Fully in the dark now. Surely, that has nothing to do with Cir's LIE and how Phu loves him yet doesn't know he gets to keep him forever and forever and forever.

Cir comes in and brings the light with him. Lighting up Phu but remaining in the dark himself until he walks himself into Phu's light (that he brought). I'm sure this means nothing.

Screaming children go AHWAY

I suppose I'll allow it. Since it's not another guitar.

Okay this is for sure not the song he is playing. Or at least they definitely overlaid it. But as far as instrument playing goes, I can believe he plays the flute at least a little.

Just a little. I'm not a flautist but it seemed about 1/10 realistic to me but considering what I've seen in the past, I will gladly take that. *stares OMSN right in the eyeballs*

These two. Always with the tongue.

FINGERS IN THE MOUTH CIR YOU INSANE MAN

Should have confessed the secret before sleeping with him.

Dark and light side of the bed again. Again, sure it means NOTHING.

Phu is actually an excellent communicator.

I told y'all they were too cute in the beginning and therefore this episode would hurt me and NOW LOOK WHAT THEY'VE DONE

I BEG YOUR PARDON

Now did this show really need this specific drama?

Yes. Yes it did. I don't care. Give me ALL the dramatics.

THE FUCK

[miss0atae]

I don't know Jin, maybe you could learn a thing or two when reading Cir's thoughts (assuming Cir's flirting style is better is already a stretch) because you're so bad at flirting. I'm actually feeling sad for him.

Maybe you could take the time to talk and learn about him from what he is willing to share with you, instead of assuming you know everything because you can read his thoughts.

Oh! I love him, but why is he doing so bad?! Wasn't it possible to find a better way of inviting Wim on a date?

[heretherebedork]

Scary or lost puppy?

Because I just see a lost puppy trying to talk.

Oh, Wim. This poor boy. He's always taken everything seriously... in his own way.

Wim has got to feel so manipulated right now and Jin can't even explain things well, honestly.

[williamrikers]

i could watch a whole spinoff or movie with CEO!Cir and office worker Phu. They are so fascinating to me. I agree that it feels like Wim isn't as present in this Cir's life? Did they drift apart due to Cir's mom or never meet? I'm just going to headcanon that Jin and Wim are together in this universe and that Cir will eventually meet Wim through Phu bc I love the friendships in this show too much. The friendships carry over too!!

oh, i totally agree with you, anon! i would watch that show in a heartbeat. cold!ceo!cir is in desperate need of some tender loving care, and phu would stand his ground if cir ever tried to pull any shit. oh how i would LOVE to watch this!!! 😍😍

also yes i agree, the friendships should transcend universes as well! 💞

currents.07 [2025]

selections from my week in media [9-15 february 2025]

[ listening ]

The whole album is great and I've already listened to it multiple times.

[ watching ]

Alien: Romulus {4 stars} - I want to watch more movies this year and this is one of three I caught up on this week. It was excellent and I thought it fit well into the overall storyline. But it loses a star for the human-alien hybrid at the end, cause sorry that's never going to work for me. Gross and also stupid.

The Boy Next World - I usually write these up at the end of the week so I completely spaced on my review last week. Which is nuts because of what happened in episode 5.

Episode 5 - Cir's been lying his ass off this whole time?! Turns out this isn't a sci-fi parallel worlds plot after all and frankly I'm mad, because it could have been amazing. I wanted to see Cir fight himself for Phu. I was hoping for the angst of having to return to a world with a dead partner, because at least in this world he's alive. (My two pet theories.) But I guess that's too effed up and sad, so now we just have a lying liar who lies. :/ On top of all that, Jin is legit psychic. ???!?! Parallel worlds aren't real, but hearing other people's thoughts is? Really? Really really? You can't see me but I'm throwing my hands up in despair. Moving on. But also, I have never been more regretful I stopped writing fic.

Episode 6 - Surprise Mick! And Wim was excellent as usual. I love that little snarky dude. The hallway scene was great. I need Phu to have realized (or realize pdq) that Cir is lying about the parallel world. They really cannot sustain it for much longer. There was a look he gave Cir at one point that made me wonder, but I guess we'll see.

Your Sky, ep 3-9 - Such a cute series. I love it. However, I'm on episode 9 and it feels finished already, with no apparent conflict left to work out except for the side couple and maybe Oh's thing with his mother. So that doesn't bode well for the rest of the episodes.

The Boy Next World Ep 8 Thoughts

I don't remember what day it is or who I am so it seems like the perfect time to watch this show. Still just vibin with it. Brain off no thoughts just enjoying the ride. Liveblog under the cut:

I forgot this is where the last episode left off. With those idiots running down the wrong boy.

This theme song continues to slap *eats fistful of sour patch jelly beans*

Actually, before I really get into this episode I feel the need to make one thing very clear, because I don't think I did in my last liveblog: I love Cir. I love Phu. I love Wim. I love Jin. I love every character the show is telling me I am supposed to like. If I am yelling at/scolding them it's from a place of love. Also they're fictional. But also I love them and I yell at the real life people I love too when they're being dumb. So any criticism/yelling/scolding does not mean I don't love them with my heart and soul. In fact, it's the opposite. If I'm not yelling at a character, it means I don't like them and they bore me. This can be confusing because I also yell at the characters I hate but those characters I'm mean to. And push off cliffs.

Oooo yes Phu start throwing hands with more people actually. Start punching these bastards right in the face.

*slowly puts knife right in his hand and backs away*

Zone is so much smarter than the adults here.

Oh he's going the little shit route. My favorite route. God bless him.

Not gonna lie folks, I don't think this is gonna be my favorite episode. I'm bored. Cir laying in a hospital bed bores me. Which is 100% a me thing and nothing to do with the show. I just don't like the crying and talking to the unconscious person in the hospital thing. Just not For Me. Which is okay. I hope it's over soon. I want to watch someone (Cir's mother) get stabbed. Now THAT is For Me.

It's the third Cir. Or the first Cir. Or amnesia Cir.

Wait.

Yeah. Sure.

WAIT.

Time like will I finally have an explanation for the hourglass????

The mother. I cannot bring myself to care.

Oh I forgot entirely about this plot. Can we stop with this plot I am so, so tired of it. Instead of the hot girl fiance getting in the way of our boys, how about I date the hot girl fiance. I mean. Just look at her.

Oh so there are just a never ending line of Cirs going to the time dimension. Just. Cir in. Cir out. Rotating Cir bar. Rotating Cir time dimension. Sure. Cir.

I can't even describe the sound that just came out of me. I couldn't even recreate it if I tried.

Do y'all understand this shot? Do you understand that I am a changed person now because of it?

Do y'all understand that the umbrella is providing light. Sheltering them from the darkness. The Phu is bringing shelter and protection and light to Cir. With an umbrella. Do you understand??????

DO YOU KNOW HOW SANE I AM RIGHT NOW.

Moving on…

Living here now. I live here. They are hugging under their umbrella light. The yellow against the dark. The comfort. This is everything to me.

I take back what I said earlier about this not being my favorite episode. This is all I needed from any show ever.

Oh baby boy. Come here. Let me give you a hug. 

You too baby boy. Hug time for you too.

I love that Wim is yelling at this Cir who genuinely doesn't know. But Wim thinks he does. Wim is ready to throw hands for Phu. As everyone should.

Girl. Why do you want a man that doesn't want you? Why do you want to marry a man that speaks to you like that (not that you don't deserve it the way you just came into the room). But seriously girl. Do better. Get better. Find someone better for you.

Ohhhh mind reading power is malfunctioning.

God I love how smart Phu is. How quickly he sees bullshit and calls it out. This is refreshing. Definitely not used to this plot going this way. Phu knows that the fiance is not Cir's choice and he also knows that what's happening right now is out of his and Cir's control. He will not let this fiance get to him. Because he sees through her act. He knows Cir's true heart that wants to escape from his mother's control. And even though he doesn't think this Cir is currently his Cir, he still wants to keep him from his mother's control.

Girl stop talking to him or he's just gonna continue to wreck you.

Here's the thing that Cir's mother and this fiance don't know. Phu is protected. By so many people. He is beloved by his friends and by his family. And they can and will cut a bitch for him. Those heels she's wearing? Made for stompin on people who hurt her friends. Stabby stomps.

Hello yes I love her

Get OUT OF THE STREET. Did y'all forget how you got into this mess? Cars be coming. Move to the sidewalk. Also WHERE is your umbrella????

Oh it looks like we got our baby boy Cir back. But where is this other one gonna go? Where is his true world? Whose world is this? I don't know anymore. But I'm having a good time. My only gripe? Not enough Jin and Wim this week.

It really is just a rotating sushi bar of Cirs. Like they live as each other for a few days in order to know they need to find their Phu. And then then come back. I guess. I like it. Doesn't make a lick of sense to me but I like it.

The Boy Next World Ep 9 Thoughts

I am sick but the liveblog must go on. I vaguely recall what happened last week but honestly, everything from the past 7 days is kind of a blur. My brain fog was real. And it still is. No idea how this is gonna go. Under the cut:

I should try to recall where we left off.

Oh yes. Baby boy is trapped. Save him.

This opening continues to slap.

Do they have to sing?

Oh thank god it was only 2 seconds.

THAT'S WHAT I SAID

I knew it.

I love that I'm getting Wim and Jin. I wish I didn't feel like death right now so I could be properly screaming.

Glad Jin was truthful but ouch. Also it looks like it is just Wim Jin's powers don't work on anymore.

Please. This warning is so funny.

Girl. You have some nerve telling Phu that he tricked Cir when you literally tricked Phu's friend in order to meet him. You couldn't even keep up the pretense for half a second. Wow you're dumb.

Where do I get this sweater though?

And the fandom cheers! Cause he's right! No one wants to see this! God bless Phu I love him so much.

He's not wrong. I do like that he sees the best in people but my guy got blinded by a pretty face and he deserves Tee to bury him. Just a little.

Oh did Phu figure it out now?

This is a good face. I cannot describe the emotions here but they are accurate to what Phu should be feeling right now. A+++

Hey um…what the FUCK is that supposed to mean?

Do…do you not normally get happy endings for Cirs and Phus? I'm too sick for this. Send meds.
