Thyme loses his cool but Kavin and MJ realize someone is messing with Gorya purposefully. They uncharacteristically decide to get involved. Thyme loses his cool when he sees the school billboard filled with photos of Gorya working as a nightclub hostess. Kavin and MJ realize that someone is messing with Gorya deliberately, so they decide to get involved. ..
MJ tries to console Thyme by creating a party around him, but Kavin interrupts them. Elsewhere, Gorya and Kaning try to infiltrate the club to investigate, but Kavin intercepts them. His questions immediately draw attention with security giving a friendly warning- then a less friendly one. ..
Kavin puts down a few bouncers and suggests the club manager provide information on who’s framing his friend. Thyme continues to get drunk and more ornery at MJ’s club.
Hana shows up at the party, chasing other girls from Thyme’s side. MJ has eyes on the scene but when he’s distracted, Hana drags Thyme away. She cuddles up to a passed out Thyme but as she leans in for a kiss, Thyme mumbles Gorya’s name.
Queen Bee Jane is hammering Gorya’s desk in a rampage, saying it’s for Thyme. She gets his permission by text to reinstate the red card, sharing it with the school. But it’s Hana with Thyme’s phone.
As Gorya is lured to the stadium, MJ and Kavin figure out Hana’s game. While at a hotel, Hana’s creepily waiting for Thyme to wake up. When he does, he doesn’t remember a thing but one glance out the window at a Ferris wheel has him thinking of Gorya.
Hana makes a pass at Thyme but it’s a hard no as he searches for his phone. She tells him that she’s been studying him for a long time, can understand him more than anyone. Then her crazy becomes fully untucked, culminating in a sharp object standoff.
Thyme tells Gorya that he can understand her, but that he is the one for her. Gorya manages to get his phone back and sees the school thread, so he runs to Thyme’s aid. ..
Near the stadium, there is chaos as violence continues to ramp up. Kids gang up on Gorya and burn her motorbike she’d borrowed from Kaning. Thyme steps in with a handbrake turn, saying he believes Gorya and carrying her away.
Thyme sneaks into Gorya’s house, thanking the staff who help him. They believe they’ve misheard. In a reveal of insight, Thyme talks of impulse control and wanting to improve himself – he even admits to not quite understanding his attraction to Gorya but doubles down on his feelings for her as she falls asleep on his lap.
“Gorya, we’re going to have to leave soon,” Thyme says as he and the others clean up the mess. “Hana is leaving school.”
Gorya tells Hana she can’t forgive her but believes their friendship was real. The Means Girls approach Gorya and Thyme steps in with an announcement that Gorya is his girlfriend. But she doesn’t remember having agreed to that. As the couple proceeds in their bickering, in walks Ren, freshly returned from France.
The Episode Review
This is a chance for us to see what these characters are capable of, and to see where their paths will lead. We can only wait to find out what Hana has in store for us next.
In a recent interview with MTV, Kavin and MJ discussed their new project, “Kavin and MJ: Over Flowers.” The two rappers have been working on the project for over a year and have already released two songs. The first song, “Kavin and MJ: Over Flowers,” is a collaboration between the two rappers and is about their relationship. The second song, “MJ vs. Kavin,” is a battle between the two rappers.
Sherlock and Watson use their skills to figure out what’s happening to Thyme and help fix it. It also shows the duo as closer than they sometimes appear, understanding Thyme’s feelings without having to ask. ..
We love the intensity of MJ, which seems more vested and responsive than previous versions of the character. Nani Hirunkit is no handsome hat stand. Conversely – and you may disagree here, so feel free to sight examples in the comments – I’m waiting to see more from Win Opas-iamkajorn as Kavin.
Next to some of the other characters, he seems less invested in the role. It feels like ‘acting’ rather than ‘Kavin.’ Candidly, I want to believe. The tight script offers a great opportunity. And we’re at episode 5 of 16 so there’s still time for him to bring the intensity. We’re crossing our collective fingers. ..
Bright Chivaaree is becoming more and more believable as a solid romantic lead, pulling us in – it’s all in the eyes. Additionally, as a character, Thyme is showing his growth and maturity as he realizes his feelings beyond like/don’t like – black/white.
The actor has brought us along in the evolution of the character, both in the writing and the acting. Well done on bringing us along in this journey. Who’s ready for the next episode?
