WE COULD SEE BOOP

I think the uniform thing is similar to some PH uni, we wear the "polo shirt" during summer months, then the white button-up shirt uniform during the other months.

I adore Bua. I wasn't sure about him at the beginning, but starting from this episode he became my favourite character (followed closely by Baabin). Also, how good is Leon? I can't believe this was his first ever acting gig. He's insanely talented.

Chian was going to ask Fou4Mod to be his boyfriend. The nails said something like "🐜Mod 🖊️​pen 🪭fan (faen) 🐱Chian 🎤Mai" Similar to Fou4mod's Instagram caption a few eps back. And the black uniform, I think is their PE uniform. Fun fact: Paper (Faifa/The doll) went to an all-boys highschool, so her character is pretty much her in highschool.

I was about to write a comment to tell them this. You did a much better job at explaining it than I would have!

After watching this episode I’m wondering what people meant in ep3. There was a lot of criticism towards Chian and him expressing his care towards Bua, calling it unnecessary and uncomfortable? I didn’t really get that vibe but I thought it would be more obvious in Bua’s episode. However I’m still confused. If anything Bua likes that Chian treats him special, so long as he doesn’t expect them to be together. And so long as he doesn’t have someone else more special to him (4mod). But he’s allowed to have people more special to him (Moo)? I’m not saying opinions are wrong but I will say people were acting like Chian is some type of villain but so far I’m seeing that ALL OF THEM are making mistakes. (Lowkey ppl were villainizing 4mod too which makes no sense bc I would say he’s the most blameless person here lolll)

This EP flew by 😭😭 my loves bua and baabin !! The messs can't wait for next ep !!

Also I think the stray kids sticker is supposed to be lee know but I could be wrong just based off the cat ears on the beret and the floatie (there's an adorable clip on lee know chilling in a floatie bc the cat can't really swim)

to bua, chian was like his home like someone who hes comfortable with sharing everything probably even more than his family and has been the one who encouraged him about his passion since the very beginning. then to has someone like that cuting you off..💔

The 'Yeah, Toast!' song was an insane blast from the past

Auburn

children of divorce are never free from their trauma. Lol. When Bua walked away from his parents fighting, but stayed close enough to still hear what they said. that shit hurted.

Auburn

*edit: I should finish the episode before writing an essay 😂😂 I'm realizing this show's theme is truly grappling with loneliness, even in a digital world where there's millions of people in your phone. That tiktok engagement doesn't matter if you're best friend doesn't want to talk to you anymore. It's also a testament to the importance of platonic love, over romantic. Like Bua loved Chian platonically and bc their love was different, Bua loses an important person and that sucks so hard. And then, look at Baabin that chose his platonic relationship for four4mod over his romantic feelings (though I think that's over simplifying it bc he knew deep down four4mod would choose Chian, but the fear of losing that friendship was too much). I think that's why the way these couples are coupling works really well for me bc the couples value the same thing.

Pond’sPhuphu

They’re at Jodd Fairs it’s like a night food market in Bangkok. It’s quite weird with the castle tho but the food there is bomb!

Auburn

but this isn't to say I think Chian is doing something wrong. He's choosing the right thing for himself and setting the boundaries he needs. And I also really ship him and four4mod 😂

Auburn

I screamed when that camera turned to Baabin taking those pictures like he's Jaemin for Secret Relationships 😂😂

Chili23

I love how the show tells us everything we need to know about who Bua is and why he is this way in less than 10 minutes

Tabea

loved yall running away when bua kissed chian because thats me having to take a break and run some laps around my room everytime a show gets too messy for me. I love this episode, its so deliciously raw and complicated. From bua's family background (that scene of his moms fighting in the back and him leaving because its uncomfortable but staying just close enough to still listen in on it was so painful) to the pressure of social media, to the pain of a friendship breakup, and the way his desparation leads him to make the worst decisions (and how you can see him realise he's doing bad e.g. when fourmod leaves them at the bus station, yet he can't stop himself)... and then when he finally accepts its done and seeks out fourmod to show him he's not going to hold onto chian any longer but fourmod is also done with it at that point... and then baabin following him because they've grown close and he could tell he'd be sad and wanted to be there for him, ohhhh everything is so so good!!!! where's my baabin waiting for me to be ready to accept a hug when I'm sad? can't wait for RJ to enjoy his gay friendship next ep

Stephen Bolt

Fr, I always felt people were unnecessarily hating on Chian. All 4 of the main characters made mistakes and did things that hurt themselves and others, but I never felt any of the things they did were extremely problematic. Also, they are teenagers going through stuff so to some extent, I can't hate them for the way they behave.

Tabea

actions like the taking of the show with the open door and the matching phone cases were romantic advances that bua wasn't interested in and with the shower scene, actively rejected because he wasn't comfortable. They were less innocent than just showing care, but yeah bua is confused himself because he knows he doesn't want those things, but then still wants chians time and affection as he's his closest friend and who he confides in on the daily. Him feeling uncomfortable with some actions and wanting to hang onto some others can exist at the same time, though its ofc not a realistic expectation to have as that's a fuzzy dynamic hurting chian. I think they're all sort of equally to blame, fourmod gave hope to baabin, just like chian did to him and bua did with chian. Bua ended up being manipulative this ep when he could tell he was losing chian, but I think I personally emphasize with him a bit more since he's so lonely he's desparately trying to hang onto his closest friendship, meanwhile chian and fourmod did what they did to create jealousy in a flirtatious pull and pull

They're quoting a Thai movie or show. The translation is just the equivalent so English speaking audiences could get the tone

Auburn

finally finished just to say I love mess 😌

Melashy

I love this episode so much, can't wait for you to watch the next one

mina

btw Chian's nails in the end have the ant, pen, fan, and cat emoji which means "4mod be Chian's boyfriend"

Lisa M T

You couldn't pay me a million dollars to be a teenager again. The absolute self centered angst was just tragically painful.

Lynn Pratt

So I think the place Bua is at in the beginning is a cram school, like a korean hagwon. And it being in the mall isn't that surprising. From what I've seen in other BLs and from ppl who've visited, the malls are giant highly air conditioned spaces so they often have more than just shops and food courts. They can have offices or random businesses that you wouldn't find in most western malls, or be connected to an office building or event space. Having so much of the show take place in these public, consumerism-based spaces is, at least to me, a pretty clear commentary on how the lives of kids (especially urban ones like in the show) are so hugely shaped by capitalism. They literally cannot escape it.

I need a friend like Baabin, everybody needs their own Baabin in their lives

moreta505

lol I’m a stay I’m here! Not quite sure about the sticker - is it a chicken with cat ears? Could be Felix but I have no idea. Loving your reactions and recaps of this show so much 💜 thank you!

Kel

I love your stickers RJ, I too am a sticker bomber 😂

Sophie

nothing to do with the ep but adam i LOVE this matching set!! this green moment is everything

Rere

I hear you, and I do think they are all to blame. I just had a problem with people acting like Chian was villainous. Also, the only reason why I said 4mod was the most “blameless” is just bc he really doesn’t know Baabin likes him! It’s not like he intentionally tries to lead him on, and it seems like bc Baabin likes him so much he reads into every little thing 4mod does. Can’t say I blame him tho! Anyone would do/ feel that with someone they like. Idk I just thought that at least 4mod wasn’t trying to play with Baabin’s feeling intentionally…

Aurora Borealis

RJ and Baabin have the same eyes omg in bangla we say "mayabi chokh" meaning like kind or enchanting eyes, you two both have very endearing gazes <3 and GODDDDD the way Baa carries Bua's bag in the charging gel like oh god i could eat my hand whole, y'all are about to EAT the next two episodes <333

Shmatreflon

The first conversation on this show where people said what they wanted to say happened in a university classroom... outside of high school. FASCINATING.

Waverly

I have never been so grateful to be in my 30s as I am when I watch this show lol Also I'm pretty sure there is some overlap between Stays and BL enjoyers 💗

FOU4MOD GIRL PLS JUST TAKE YOUR BAG AND GO WHY YOU STILL SITTING AND EATING WITH THEM 😭😭😭😭😭

I've noticed that Thai schools seem to have two uniforms for boys. Oddly enough the blue, black, or khaki shorts and-white-short-sleeved-shirt seems to be the more formal uniform. The second uniform, with a colored shirt and long pants, seems used for outings, sports and the like. The school that Fou4Mod and Baabin attend (and from which Chian graduated) seems to be entirely standard in this regard -- the "casual" uniform is the black shirt and black long pants that all three boys are seen wearing at one point or another. Someone who knows more than I do (went to school in Thailand?) might confirm or correct this.

CM DaiFan

White waiting for your (typically mesmerizing) reaction video, I went back and watched parts of ITSAY for the first time in some months. I was struck by the similarity of the underlying dynamics in the two shows. The scene in ep. 5 at the art workshop when Chian tells Bua how hurt he had been when Bua seemed to be shunting him aside -- not making time for him -- well, it's effectively what Teh says to Oh-aew at the end of ep. 2 of ITSAY when Oh-aew climbs back into the boat to find out what's wrong. In ep. 5 of ITSAY Bas's standing up at the group farewell and recounting how he came to love Oe-aew ,foreshadows ep. 4 of Gelboys when Baabin describes how he came to love Fou4Mod. Of course Bas says it publicly and still thinks Oe-aew loves him back while Baabin erases the voicemails, knowing that Fou4Mod has chosen Chian. But the emotional contours are effectively the same. Great artists are permitted to tell the same story over and over again; one would love to read Boss Kuno's autobiography although we don't really need to

Lin H

yeah Bua and Chian have this really co-dependent friendship which is why Bua is feeling such intense friendship jealousy. that's a real thing, particularly when you're younger. I remember my 100% straight female bff being jealous of me finally interacting with girls romantically after having been single my entire teen years while she had multiple boyfriends. I guess straight people realize that since we feel romantic attraction towards the same sex in addition to platonic so there's this heightened intimacy in gay relationships that they're afraid to lose their best friend to. even though Bua is also gay, he's not romantically into Chian and feels like his best friend is already being stolen by his tentative lover. and of course Bua's abandonment issues only add fuel to this fire because Chian is the only person in his life whom he could consistently rely on. although I have to say it's annoying how we rarely ever see lesbian parents depicted in the media and here they are both depicted as deadbeat parents. I'm not saying bad lesbian mothers couldn't possibly exists but research proves that the children of same-sex parents are statistically happier which makes sense because no child of a gay couple could be an "accident" unlike a lot of children of straight couples (me with my deadbeat dad who never wanted children, hi). a lesbian couple going through the difficult process of adopting a child (Bua is surely fully white and not their biological offspring?) would be 10 times more likely to fight each other for custody rather than both abandoning him. it just isn't believable, the chances of having two mothers adopt you and neither of them caring about you are infinitesimally low.

CM DaiFan

I have seen suggestions that the opening sequence of Bua with the two women who seem to be his guardians and one of whom may be his biological mother might be a dream, although watching it again with Adam and RJ I'm inclined to think it is supposed to represent an actual situation, not a dream. Whatever. The actor who plays Bua, Leon Zech, is in fact one quarter Thai. I think it entirely plausible that we are expected to believe that Bua had a white biological father who abandoned his mother when she got pregnant (I personally know of a situation like this among Thai friends -- the boy looks far more European than Thai even though he is ethnically half Thai and culturally completely Thai. ) The woman who is supposed to be Bua's biological mother and who briefly dances with him does not look half white, although maybe we're supposed to think that she is. I suppose the woman with whom she has the fight -- who is going to take Bua? -- became her lover after Bua's father left the scene. It's very ambiguous even more so than the family situations of the other three Gelboys (does Fou4Mod have a father who lives with his mother? It's never made clear). What we do know is that Bua must have had a wretched childhood made even worse by his not "looking" Thai. (See ep. 7) It's a common problem in Thailand; although really good looking talented kids with mixed parentage can make careers in entertainment (Leon is a case in point -- talented and gorgeous) but far more fall between the proverbial tracks, abandoned by their fathers and raised by single mothers. A great novel, Bangkok 8, explores this -- the central character is a policeman whose American father abandoned him; his mother became a bar hostess and ended up running one of the top bars in Bangkok. It's a great read with real insight into what can happen to people like Bua.

Ophelia

Leon, the actor, is not fully white. So Bua definitely isn’t. His “white genes” are just very strong. He is also fully culturally Thai. He is actually from a northern province and speaks with a heavy northern accent. In the documentary, Boss mentioned being surprised by basically seeing a “white kid who was so Thai.”

CM DaiFan

He's 3/4 white. He was born in Augsburg, Germany but was moved to Khon Kaen (Thailand's 4th largest city) sometime in his childhood. His accent is more Isarn (NE Thailand; dialect is actually closer to Lao than to standard Thai)) than northern.

Lin H

ah, it makes so much more sense now, thanks for the context! Bua/ Leon looks so white to me, I honestly didn't know he was mixed. it's crazy how unpredictable genes are. I mean we've all heard about the creepy white guys who go to Thailand just to look for "quick fun" so a situation like that resulting in accidental pregnancy would make way more sense in terms of his mother neglecting him rather than doing so after having adopted him. the show really does leave a lot of this background info very ambiguous.

Char

love Bua so much. he's clearly just so lost and desiring attention from everyone that he doesn't get at home. This ep really shows how he's the youngest of the 4 of them. I support his rights AND wrongs!

Ashley

All around the country coast to coast …. YEAH TOAST. Lol

❣️ Vladlena ❣️

Yes, these show have a lot of common! You will immediately recognize the Boss Kuno’s style.

❣️ Vladlena ❣️

“Just be friends.”
“Don’t be friends.” 😂😂😂
I’m with Adam on this one! Not everyone needs to be friends — especially when there's a tangled relationship involving feelings for the same person. And your reaction to Bua and Chian’s kiss killed me, hahaha!

❣️ Vladlena ❣️

When Bua's family was shown, it immediately became clear that he was trying to get the attention he wasn’t receiving from his parents through TikTok. That’s why likes are so important to him. And even the fact that he doesn’t want to lose Chian but also doesn’t want to be with him romantically made total sense. He’s such a lonely soul 😭

H B

I'm loving rewatching this with you. It's exactly how I responded! I still can't get over how much this show reminds me of the original series of the L Word in the 00s - the lesbian version of this angst 🤣 it has to be said we sapphic types are just as messy. That awful teen angst and miscommunication is so relatable. Thank God I'm don't have to repeat that era 🤯🤣

Hamzamirul97

not adam straight baiting…

Petition for The L Word to be the next reaction show :P

Sarah Figueras

God the transition to his room at 12:00 and that fucking phone alarm 🚨 ‼️ made my heart race THE TRAUMA. Sorry that’s all back to the show
