Lmaooooooooo

But then:

OUR SECOND HONORARY FRIDAY (I watched it when it came out but didn't get to write this until today) SO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.... Last episode, and last review!!-- I'm going to miss watching this every week :(

Warning: overuse of the word "cute" because I find them all adorable, I'm sorry if that gets annoying....

First of all, Poppy is the perfect person to host, I hope he gets more opportunities to MC, I love him!!

The group song for gen 5 -- My Number One Duo -- is so catchy!! I like it, and everyone was so cute.

The judges all amazing, as usual! ALL THE FAVES COMING BACK TO WATCH, THAT IS WHAT WE WANT TO SEE, YESSS!!

Gen 1: Park

Gen 2: Yim & Tutor

Gen 3: TeeTee (he's so funny LMAOO, the way he tumbled and then instantly served face while tucking his hair)

Gen 4: Ohm, JJ, Kim (the diva trio), Por, Ryujin, and Patji.

TeeTee is not sly, the way he immediately turned to Por and repeated the song name (Narak chip pung) which translates to "incredibly cute" my adorable dorks <3

Wave is first!! You can tell that he doesn't have a lot of experience, but he is so cute, so he fits the song and concept soooo well. The way that everyone adores him, they're so real for that. Also, I was cracking up when he tried to act cool at the end, Wave you're such a cutie pie, just embrace it. "I feel like I'm attending my kid's school event" HAHAHA FR.

P: "Did you take anything away from Yim?" W: "Yes, yes I did, I need more experience" with pure confidence. LMAOOO HE'S TOO CUTE. I can't handle it. THEN HIM RUNNING OFF STAGE, TOOK ME OUT.

North was next, his song was Magic. I'm kind of sad that we didn't get to see him sing during the singing challenge due to scheduling conflicts, he has a pretty nice voice. His voice was softer than I imagined. Everyone's reaction in the crowd was so real, especially TeeTee and Kim.

Not about the performance, but why are TeeTee and Por locking eyes randomly, like hello???? No respect to the single community.

The judges are always so spot on what can be improved, and they give clear steps for them to take, I really want to highlight and show my admiration for the judges.

JJ is so funny LMAOOO, he's such a cutie. He has such a way with words, our eloquent king.

Copper sang Silent Mode. I thought his voice was nice, and his dancing was pretty stable! He just looked a little awkward, like he's trying to remember his steps (which is so understandable), I think once he gets more comfortable on stage, he has so much potential! I agree Kla, He is charming!!

Tutor side-eyeing Yim when he said Copper kept catching his eye during the performance LMAOOO, he was not a fan of that comment.

Pung sang Yang Kong Koi, he is such a cutie, let me just say that first and foremost. I really like his voice, he has such a soothing voice, feels like it's dripping with honey.

I agree that the emotion and connection with the audience wasn't fully there, but that's okay, that comes with more experience! A: "All of us adore you" YES. PUNG IS SO LOVED BY EVERYONE!!!

Not them asking Pung to do the "mommy" pose once again, if you don't leave him alone with that LMAOOOO

Pete sang brother zone (I freaking love this song, top tier choice by him) He fits the concept for this song so well, being the youngest of the generation. His voice is so pretty, I don't know how else to describe it. Dare I say, his voice was my personal favorite of the night. His dance moves were pretty solid too

Okay ngl, I think he might've actually been my favorite of the night. I loved his voice since the singing round, and I still love it so much. And he's the youngest, I can only imagine how much he will improve with time and experience.

Aww Tutor and Yim had to leave :( I wish they could've stayed to see the entire thing.

Porsche sang Prot Song Krai Mah Ruk Chun Tee -- Yes, I was curious so I searched the meaning of the title, and it means, "please send someone to love me" that's so fitting for him :( -- I like his voice, but also his smile is so cute!!! I think he has a lot of potential, and will grow.

I love how much they're all rooting for Porsche, I mean how could you not? He's such a sweetheart, I love him.

Fifa sang I Need a Girl-- okay ex SM trainee, I see you -- HE DID SO GOOD. His dance was pretty smooth, the dance break with his flip?? Incredible. His voice was light and pretty, soothing to listen to. Also, the fact he was singing in Korean (I'm not sure if he's fluent), but that in itself is impressive. OHM IS SO REAL FOR HIS REACTION TO DOING THE FLIP.

Totally agree, he could debut... Is this a sign of a new tpop group under Domundi?

TeeTee and Por are so cute (I say for the millionth time, idc I will probably say this again) P'POR STRIKES AGAINNNN

Otto singing Horogals, I didn't know I needed this!! I was excited to hear him, especially knowing he can SING. I liked how he kept a magical theme, knowing this song is being used for Magic Lovers (I can't wait for that to be released). Overall, I feel like his stage was the most stable. He did amazinggggg.

KIM PASSING IT TO OHM SINCE HE PERFORMED THIS BEFORE (I love their friendship, cuties.)

"You're aren't just a pretty boy, you're a pretty boy with a great stage performance" YESSIR OHM.

Phupha sang TEEDEE TADA-- several things: 1. I absolutely LOVE this song, 2. It makes so much sense that Phupha would pick this song LMAO, I mean have you seen the gym videos or the thirst traps?? If you haven't you should. You're welcome in advance. 3. He was lowkey giving me AuAu's performance of Bad Girls Like You-- UGH HE'S ATTRACTIVE AND HE KNOWS IT. Sir, where are the buttons to your shirt?? No one can handle all that, let me have himmmmm. (Let me rein myself in, I apologize... that was an alter ego or whatever). His voice is nice, his dance is a little awkward (but will improve with time), but he has amazing stage presence.

KIM AND OHM LOCKING IN AND LOOKING AT EACH OTHER WHEN PHUPHA HIT THIS MOVE (picture below... for science...) WAS SO REAL. They knew that was so hot. Latte and Jimmy better come get their men.

Still giggling at their reactions (AND JJ'S... I SAW THAT TOO). O: "Why is it hot in here" HE IS TOO REAL. I AM ACTUALLY CACKLINGGG.

That was the end of the individual performances, and honestly they all did amazing!! All of them have a lot of potential to do even greater.

Now onto the partner performances:

North and Otto -- I liked the concept of their performance, two actors who unexpectedly fell for each other. Their voices went well together, and their chemistry shined.

"North, once you let your guard down and expressed your feelings, you seemed to forget everything else." WHY DID THEY CALL HIM OUT LIKE THAT HAHAHA. He looks so shy, awww.

Why did TeeTee catch strays, "If you want advice on how to control it, you can ask TeeTee. He also struggled with it at first."

Copper and Fifa -- They are both such talented singer and dancer, so it makes sense that their performance included more choreo. They did not disappoint there of course!! But the time that I felt it was the most natural was when they were smiling at each other, I felt their natural chemistry.

THEM KISSING THEIR HANDS WITH THEIR HANDS TOUCHING??? DON'T THEY KNOW WE'RE INSANE? Ugh their chemistry is out of this world. Copper copying Fifa is so cute awwww.

Ryujin and Patji (prepare to be SICK of me) -- The acting intro?? I didn't expect it. The premise of the performance, is this a play about them... interesting choice. The amount of chemistry these two ooze is unreal. R: "So, you want me to change?" SHUT UP. THE WAY HE LOOKED AT PATJI, THE WAY PATJI GOT SHY???? JJ and Kim were so real for their reaction, because I was literally squealing and hiding my face at the same time.

P: "Last year, it was just the two of us performing solo" Ohm's reaction, exactly king!! They're not even trying to be subtle.

The whole scene at the desk: Patji poking Ryujin's cheek, Ryujin leaning on his shoulder, Patji getting shy and pushing him away??? Ryujin's smile. Ugh adorable.

Ryujin pretending to be asleep, the SONG MEANING (being more than friends) the hand on the chin (I immediately got butterflies), Ryujin chasing after him and responding with the next part of the song, GRABBING HIS ARM AND PULLING HIM CLOSER? Cinema.

New reaction pic unlocked (they were both SO INCREDIBLY REAL throughout the performance, I kept catching myself watching their reactions)

But literally I felt like I was interrupting them during this performance, I mean the way they kept doing the triangle method??? YEAH I NOTICED. I thought they were going to kiss at the end, I mean did you guys see the way they kept staring into each other eyes and lips and getting closer? Ryujin looked so shy, looking back at the audience like he was reminding them both where they were (this could be a bit delusional of me)

Let's list it all: The hand holding, the collar pulls (HELLO? THIS WAS INSANE), the glances at each other, the hand on the shoulder, the taps? Yeah, they make me delusional.

AND AS IF THAT WASN"T ENOUGH, THE LAST TWO LINES KILLED ME... P: "Do you still think we're just friends?" R: "Isn't it obvious by now?" WHILE BITING HIS LIP? Oh my gosh.

The other DMD members are so real for how they reacted throughout this performance, I mean the chemistry was unfathomable. Now for the performance (other than the stage presence and chemistry I mentioned over and over by now) their singing was incredible, I absolutely adored hearing Patji's falsetto. Like yes, show that off king!

I love how much they all adore Patji and Ryujin so much, I mean the way TeeTee started crying, I could tell he was reminiscing, he didn't see what we saw, he saw baby Patji and Ryujin growing and improving themselves. JJ, Ohm, Por, and Ohm all tearing up, they're all soo incredibly proud of them. I love them, and I love how everyone in DMD supports each other.

Aof's comments about their story was so beautifully said, all the viewers of season 2 really got to watch these two grow and blossom into the talented boys they are. I love them so much.

Kim mentioning Patji's shaking hands last year and how he's improved so much now (STOP I WILL START SOBBING), he sounded so mother-like.

K: "Last year I said, I'm so proud of you, as if you were my son. Today, I'm very proud of you, my boy." SHUT UP, THEY'RE SO CUTE. Especially, when you remember that Kim was the oldest last season, while Ryujin and Patji were the youngest. I love their dynamic. P: "Thank you, mommy" AND THE WAY KIM IMMEDIATELY CHOKED UP, PROTECT THEM AT ALL COSTS!! They mean so much to me.

K: You know why I don't want to cry? It'll ruin my look" HAHAHA A DIVA WILL ALWAYS BE A DIVA.

Okayyyy award timeeeeee!!

Best friendship award -- I honestly wanted it to go to Porsche or Wave. I'm so glad that Wave won!! He's so cute, the way he was so confused, and the way everyone adores him, he deserves the win. I'm so curious to find out who he's going to choose to go on the vacation with. W: "I never thought I'd get to be someone's best friend" HAHAHA no thoughts behind those eyes.

Best performance award -- Otto makes the most sense!! Like I said, I felt like his performance was the most stable and balanced. He deserves this win!!

Side note: Porsche is so cute, the way he loves the others so much. Him literally jumping in excitement for the others, ugh my heart.

Best Shining Star Award -- I was surprised by this because this wasn't a thing the past two seasons, but I totally agree with the winners! Like I said, I loved Fifa's, Phupha's, and Pete's performances. I think they all deserved to be recognized for these performances. I wonder what they will win, will it be a single? An OST? I also wonder when they'll let us know what it is.

Pete: "What is this award called again" LMAOOOO he was disassociating or what? Jk, but that was so funny.

BEST PARTNER AWARD -- I was surprised that they said all three of them have the opportunity, and I was thinking it was similar to season 1 when both ThomasKong and KengNamping won, but it wasn't. They still chose someone who gets to have their series first. As you guys can probably guess, I was rooting for Ryujin and Patji.

I'm really glad that we will get to see a series from all these pairing (and an excellent marketing choice on Aof's behalf).

I SCREAMED SO LOUD WHEN PATJI AND RYUJIN WON LIKE AHHHHHHHH THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR OVER A YEAR. THEY FINALLY GOT IT. Patji was so cute jumping up and down, and the way they hugged each other. Everyone else celebrating them (I love them all, I say for the nth time)

The way Patji was getting emotional and immediately leaned into Ryujin, and Ryujin ignored everything else to hug Patji and comfort him?? Excuse me while I go scream in my pillow.

I hope to see a school romance, something light and fluffy like Your Sky, Perfect 10 Liners, We Are, Fourever You, My School President, etc. OR OR OR enemies to lovers!!! They could pull both off.

It's such a bittersweet thing: I'm so happy that we got to see all this, but also, now there's no more episodes left.... Every week, no new episode to come and watch. I can't wait to see what all of them do, and what works they will be part of coming up!

Tian: "No matter how long it is from now, I wish for us to never be apart."

Some absolute downer of a fan, without fail: "You know, since Tian got a heart transplant, that might not actually be that lo--"

I'm going to use GIFs, because I feel like it and also it seems like it'd be more useful than having names thrown at you with no visual aid

So, there is this lil guy Kram who lives in quasi-exile at the edge of the woods with his starving-artist father. One day, a friend of his dad's brings his son, Phupha, and asks if he can hide with them as someone is trying to kill Phupha (heir to a wealthy family). Kram and Phupha quickly fall in love.

Also in the area is Tai, the son of a dangerous gangster. A couple years ago, Tai came with a henchman to rough up Kram's mother over a debt she owed his father, and killed her in the process. Tai is deadly and dangerous.

Phupha's dad is attacked, and Phupha tells Kram to go hide in a hidden little cabin in the woods, Phupha will find him in the morning. The cabin was their special place, where they came very close to having sex (but Kram got scared).

The next morning, Kram finds Phupha's body in the cabin. His throat has been slit, and he bled to death.

A local myth says that there is a pond that lights up on certain nights, and if you pray at the edge of the pond, the person you love will return to you.

Despondent and half-mad, Kram goes to the pond, though he used to pray there every night for his late mother. The pond suddenly glows blue, and Kram falls in.

Kram is found half-drowned on the banks of the river by Tai, but something is very, very wrong. This Tai is not scarred, and he seems almost... afraid of Kram.

Tai brings Kram to his aunt's place- a shaman. She explains that the pond is enchanted. When the water glows blue, it creates a pathway between two worlds.

In this world, Phupha hasn't been named his father's heir just yet, he hasn't been targeted. He's still alive.

Kram becomes determined to save Phupha's life and have a second chance at the love he lost.

But what Kram doesn't know is that in this world Phupha's fate did play out, but with a different person.

It was Tai who found a love that changed the course of his entire life, turning him from an angry and lost thug into a kind and warm-hearted man... and it was Tai who came home and found Kram bleeding to death, stabbed by Tai's own father.

Kram will do anything to save Phupha from meeting the same fate as the man he loved, and Tai will do anything to save this Kram from repeating the past. But as they face dangers together, Kram's heart begins to change, and he finds himself falling in love with Tai instead of Phupha (plus, gotta say, World 2 Phupha's kind of a tool).

Can Kram save Phupha's life? Can Tai protect Kram from his father? Does Tai see Kram for himself, and not just as a replacement for the man he lost?
