I'm on the last episode of this show, and this has been bothering me from the start. I've looked at the actor's entire filmography on MDL, and the only other thing he's been in that I've seen is The Stranded (forever mourning that we didn't get another season, I was obsessed with it), and I'm pretty sure I don't recognize him from there. I think it's the hair, eyes and lips that mostly remind me of another actor/character, but I can't remember for the life of me and it's driving me crazyyy. Please help, I'm losing my mind.

I feel so embarrassed and kinda bad about it but aaa. I'm currently on ep 2 and I am *struggling.* I can't recall ever having this problem before but oh my god. I don't know what it is about this series but they all look so similar to each other. The hats definitely don't help, so when they're in training clothes I just focus on the numbers on their shirt to be able to tell them apart lmao. With Tharn and Phaya I noticed they both have moles on their eyes so that does help, but only when the shot is up close.

It's probably gonna get easier the more I watch them but my god. Please tell me I'm not the only one. I'm suffering.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm def not the target audience for DWY and I struggled so hard to get through it. Took me two tries and the first time I couldn't even get through the first episode because the cringeee. Even after I had to pause and just stop often, but I kept going because it's on netflix so it was convenient when I just wanted to use my TV.

But episode six (and seven). Holy shit, Teetee's acting had me rewinding and in disbelief and soo immersed. His eyes and breathing, but most of all the swallowing, he so perfectly embodied what your crush finally reciprocating actually feels like. I think part of the reason why this hit so hard is also because the series in general is just so goofy and unserious. But honestly, Teetee absolutely shines in the more serious moments and proves he's not just a pretty face. I'm not dismissing Por, he was great too, but Teetee just stood out more because of the contrast between the mostly goofy parts and then the serious ones. Also looved the fact that he was the top, reminded me a bit of poohpavel where the more "feminine" one is the top. I'm hoping this is slowly paving the way for less strict top/bottom dynamics and maybe even some vers stuff.

Friend Benefit seems like it's gonna be more serious and I can't wait to see them both in that.

One thing I've noticed in these series is that characters will either be offered to go or just immediately go to a doctor/nurse for very simple things, like a headache, a bruise, small cut etc. And when they don't go, someone else (usually the LI), will take care of them, like cleaning their scrapes or putting ointment on their bruises.

I'm wondering if this is a thing that actually happens in Thailand, or they're just exaggerating for the series? I'm from Europe, so it's not like I have to pay to visit the doctor, but we don't usually go unless it's something more serious. And even for at home first aid, the most we'll usually do is wash it with water and maybe slap a band aid on it if it's a bigger cut, but mostly just ignore it and wait for it to heal on its own.

Just seems like a difference in culture, but I am curious if anyone actually has the answer.
