#i blame DaouOffroad

[emptypromses]

LAZ1 is so funny, it's like they made a pact to all get into committed relationships/ships before 2025, and now if I check on a member, all I see is the most sickening display of love. I'm very happy for them

I wanted to ask how the fanmeet in miami went! I haven't heard much about it, although tbf, I haven't really looked. I had tickets to the denver one, but ended up getting a refund once it was announced that fourth wasn't going to be there :(

It was really fun! I planned to write a break-down this weekend, but wasn’t sure how interesting it would be for anyone else because the truth is that…nothing much happened? I don’t really know what I was expecting. Maybe for it to be more like an interview? But the MC they hired very clearly did not know who Gemini and Fourth were. He had been given a list of very generic questions to ask, but then couldn’t ask any follow-up questions because he literally didn’t know what they were talking about. Other than that, they sang a few songs and played a few games. That’s about it.

The whole thing was also conducted in English, which was fine for Gemini who speaks English fluently, but you could tell that Fourth was struggling at times—or would have at least been more comfortable answering in Thai. I’m not sure why that wasn’t an option because the MC was Thai.

The fanmeet was staffed and organized by GMMTV and there did not seem to be anyone involved locally, which I found interesting. In contrast, the FKJD fanmeet in New York is being organized locally and I know that for their DaouOffroad fanmeet a couple months ago, they had American BL podcast hosts acting as the MCs, which is obviously preferable. The GMMTV staff were very professional, though, and have clearly done this a lot. Everything flowed smoothly.

We got no new information about Ticket to Heaven or any of their other projects. The only thing I can even think of that might be of interest to the fandom is that someone asked what TinnGun would be doing now and Fourth said something along the lines of “maybe they would be dating or maybe they would be broken up, who knows?” The audience did not like that. To be quite honest, I’m not entirely convinced Fourth was sober. He kept messing up song lyrics and Gemini was laughing at him as if his behavior wasn’t typical, but that’s none of my business. I’m glad he was having fun.

They were both incredibly humble and so young. Someone asked their favorite childhood memory and Gemini laughed and said, “I’m still a child.” Fourth took the time to list every single actor that was in MSP with them because he said they were part of his success.

For me personally, I’m very glad I went to this fanmeet before going to a FirstKhaotung one because I was totally not prepared for how nerve-wracking it is. When it was my turn to take a picture with them, my plan was to walk up and greet both Gemini and Fourth—so many people only greeted Fourth—but to be quite honest, I have no idea if I did or not. I remember saying “sawatdee ka,” but as soon as Fourth said “sawatdee krup” back, my brain went completely offline. It was like I physically could not compute why this person who’s supposed to only exist inside my TV just interacted with me. Very interested to see how that picture turns out 😬

Overall, I was pleased with the experience, but I wouldn’t do it again for a couple I wasn’t absolutely crazy about. I realized pretty quickly that I was out of my league. There was a girl sitting in front of me who bought five separate tickets costing $365 each just so she could take 5 separate pictures with them. And then she sat there with professional camera equipment filming only Fourth the whole time. It was wild.

I don’t blame you for getting a refund for Denver. I would have done the same. That’s a whole lot of money to spend to only see one of them. That’s why I’m always so confused when fandoms get excited about solo fan meets. I, for one, don’t have that kind of cash. I hope you get a chance to see them in October, though! Gemini was very excited to visit Denver. Apparently he has friends that live there.

I didn’t take many pictures or videos because I knew there would be people there who could do it way better than me, but I’ll try to compile a post of some of the pictures I’ve found from the Miami fanmeet later tonight because they both looked absolutely amazing.

Century of Love Live Blogging

For a couple weeks before this show's release, I had been getting some DaouOffroad videos on my Twitter timeline and man, I was really getting into them despite never having watched Love in Translation. I knew this was releasing 2 eps a week and the concept was interesting enough, so was eyeing this for live-watching since like July 2, a week before the show released. Now I'm finally watching it after my other on-air shows (My Stand-In, Wandee Goodday) are done and 6 episodes of this have released. People seem to be really liking this, even though some people were critical about the concept once the trailer was released. Hope I love it, I enjoyed To Sir, With Love which I think is the same team? Gotta love a lakorn BL.

Ep 1 (July 27)

1-1

1924

old-timey lakorns really do have the same vibes as the indian serials or historical bollywood movies, loveee

the graphics when San's being healed are killing me

San and Wad are cute from the 2 seconds we get to see of them lol

tragedy strikes

eat half of the stone now -> body frozen for a hundred years but endure pain every night -> Vad feeds second half to him when they reunit and San's body returns to normal

1944, 1974, 2004 - so it's like a new generation of the Savant/shring caretaker's family

2024 - 100 year anniversary

100smth-year-old young-looking San is so funny, especially the grandpa calling San great grandpa

so true, young Juu teaching old ass great grandpa San about victim blaming

Juu is soo cute omg

omg a century's worth of wounds and injuries reopen every night?!?! girl, love cannot be worth this much pain

1-2

2 more months left until March 15

pls this would've been romantic and beautiful if this was a different show and her name is even Wad

SanVee first meeting

ah, Vee just moved here, so that's why they just met

1-3

omg the make-shift red string of fate in front of the goddess

the ring going to Vee, how cute

Juu is seriously sooo attractive

Khun Wad reminds me of Namtan a bit

Vee is quite charming

incredible lack of dust underneath that cabinet

San being charmed by Vee despite not wanting to be

I wonder if Vee knows he likes men/knows he's starting to like San? He seems like he'd know

1-4

okay Vee knows

I know this scene is a dream that San's having, I wonder how it was watching it without knowing that omg they went from 0 to a 100 for seemingly no reason

120smth year old grandpa's wet dream smh

Vee reminds me of somebody but who... I thought it was Lee Dohyun for a second but I don't think so. Maybe OnePact Oh Seongmin??

Suchhh a good first episode. I was anticipating this show and really hoping I like it and so far, it's great. Can't wait to watch ep 2.

Ep 2 (July 27)

cryinggg at San going to tell Tao about his wet dream

Vee has a sick grandma. I think I read about this

Actually I think I also read a stray post or tweet about grandma and Vee living same man, so I’m gonna assume this guy who saved grandma as a little kid is San lol

not the kind pratfall kiss

loll Juu knows about the dream and being able to perform again

hmm this uncle who made a bad investment… is the police record real

a literal tiny child 120smth year old great grandpa!!!!! I was spoiled about this too but omg

not Vee being in trouble and chased the way San kind of was in ep 1 beginning

lmfao San finding a way to get Vee's birth time, location details

Juu: "If you can't accept that he's a man, then just have him complete the ritual and part ways." okay I was thinking this esp because some people are guessing a bit that maybeeee Vee actually isn't Vad reincarnated. So if that theory's true, maybe San will indeed meet the correct reincarnation and just have them feed him the stone but continue being in love with Vee?

Vee saying what comes to his mind but it clearly stings deeply for San. Vee saying that he wouldn't want the other person to wait if he were Wad because when would he come back, what if he looks different, what if he has a worse personality, like omg these are all San's current struggles

who took that video of San healing? was it Vee or somebody else?

Vee possibly linked to a shady businessman who searches for the 5-coloured stone

oh, the people are straight up robbing them for the stone

omg, San is so mean to Vee here yelling at him about the stone and calling him a thief and letting it slip that he'd done a background search on him

but if indeed Vee knew about San and is after the stone, then Vee is a great actor within the show

ah, the shady businessman

Ep 3 (July 28)

wtf the Youtube vids don't have English subs? agh

dang, unexpected time to turn into a child

pls San has never needed to think of a name for the kid version? I guess he can just use San because usually it's not like people know that he's related to San somehow

plsss not the naked San + Vee toppling over him + fall into the bathtub and turning the shower on + the family all coming home and seeing them

ah, marriage is brought up because of this

aw, Vee got framed for that criminal record bank account thing. the bank account fraud also reminded me of DFF

Vee's lack of money or status reminds San of how he originally was with Khun Wad

ever since I first saw the clips of the scene of San describing who he loves and their characteristics and Vee being like "o! that describes me!" it has reminded me of a very similar scene with a different Vee... Love Mechanics Mark telling Vee his ideal type's character traits and Vee being like oh! I fit all of them! even though he fits none loll

dang, he's plainly telling his grandmother about the fake wedding and getting paid for it and she doesn't seem to care. kinda interesting, i'd expect more scolding and disapproval

don't hide your face in the towel you were using to clean her feet!

but Vee doesn't deny liking San oof

the uncle guy doesn't approve of the wedding, who would have guessed?

San being so grouchy to vee during the wedding while Vee's trying his best and is so smiley >:(

ahh the serendipitous bride veil

I wonder if Vee will ever ask why they call San Great Great Grandfather lmao

not the attacks and gunshot wounds! how must San feel to see Vee take a bullet for him when Wad had died that way

Vee finally finds out about San's situation and the stone + that he's maybe/maybe not Wad's reincarnation

I think I saw something about Vee trying to steal the stone... will it be for his grandmother?

kinda bad acting when Vee's sad about his grandma but the situation is indeed devastating and he's going through so much

beautiful, gorgeous Juu

Ep 4 (July 28)

Vee's plan to steal the stone step #1: start living in the house lol

my poor fucking Vee fr

stoppp San being rude and clippy but still being like if you want anything tell Juu + puts some meat on Vee's plate

San's nightly pain and horrors being stopped by touching and being near Vee omg, this show is soooo good and handles the tropes so well

"It must hurt a lot... but it's better than being dead, right Phi?" Vee... it might be worth it for San who has a mission but it's senseless to have your grandmother go through that when she has lived a full life

the first night in a 100 years since he's had good sleep was when Vee was near him, running his hand through his hair, like bruh the tropes and the implications!!

this annoying ass uncle mans

I think it'd be nice if Vee really isn't the reincarnated Wad but just shares the same fate as people keep saying

ah, Vee going sneaking and getting caught by San, though he managed to not give his position away

Aw, San's kinda cute, putting on the music and smiling while watching Vee go through the photos and such

yaas bisexual king Vee who's dated and messed around with men and women lol

grandpa San having a breakdown hearing about homosexuality like whelp you're gonna have to come to terms with it sometime

not Juu telling Vee about San's horny dream about him to console him and tell him that San's actually into him lmfaooo

Vee's next plan is to seduce San lol but Vee looks so good with slightly messy hair standing at the doorway omg

San to Vee: "Where your clothes at?"

kitsune Vee! San's wet dreams are great lol and the water glass motif in all of them too lmfaoo

girl you're married! fuck meditation, go have sex with your husband

a fake stone in place of the real one?

oh man, cliffhanger with injured Vee who found the (fake I guess) 5-coloured stone but then was stabbed by one of the guys searching for it who then took it from him. + the grandpa got taken too.

also the robber guy has to be the annoying uncle mans right

Ep 5 (July 28/29)

as expected, the uncle is in kahoots with the stone stealers

damn, San meant that the doctor was a fraud who doesn't know about the stone's realities, right? not that the doctor was working with San or anything. because mans got shot in the head

hmmm Suchat and them escape, right?

San being so nice to injured Vee, cooking for him and feeding him

ah, especially because San believe Vee got injured in a fight to protect the stone from the thieves, not knowing that Vee was stealing it himself

the stone stealing has to come back some time later for angst purposes, right? can't be a secret forever...?

ah, the Prince Trai who killed Wad accidentally is back as Wee's friend and doctor Third

omg nightmare where Wee takes Wad's place in the dying scenario...

damn, San even being rude to Third who's like ...? but hmm why did San seem familiar to him, did he just happen to see him around or is he really reincarnated Trai and somehow remembers from his past life?

lol Vee really invited Third to San and the family's house to hang out pls

San seething with jealousy and stalking Vee lol

Vee being like wow this grumpy poser dinosaur sure reminds me of San

I was wondering if San and Juu were gonna be seen at the back when they were taking selfies! he just saw it later

ahhhh San doesn't quite want to reaaaally find Wad (as he's falling for Vee) but that obviously makes him feel confused and aimless

Love to see Vee being straightforward like don't be controlling and say what you mean, i don't like to guess

ahhh cute cute cute even though they didn't actually kiss

Ep 6 (July 29/30)

insecure San

ahh the perfume wrist sniffing scene i’ve seen around so much lately

not Vee going to get hotpot with Third

what a gracious back down from Third compared to the gun! that Trai had brought out lol

ahh I thought Vee was gonna come from behind and hear the confession and it’ll be a comedic moment but it just became angsty though i wonder if Vee hadn’t actually heard… and is trying to avoid San bc of it…

them looking at each other and smiling as Juu guides Vee up the stairs to get ready is sooooo good

ah date and dance

okayyyy Vee did indeed hear

confession and kiss ahh

okkk i was wondering if i can continue watching this on my phone at work (i’ve been watching this ep on phone) but uhhh they are shirtless and maybe sleep together so ig id rather not. will watch when i get home today huhu

now what does San even know about sex, man hasn’t had a boner for a century

ok vee started leading the sex thing after a bit

idk whether to believe Vee really is the reincarnation or not

oh, grandma and San became friends afterwards, I thought San and her only met like once when he apparently saved her

grandma and grandson in love with the same man reminds me of Blank where mother, father, daughter all loved one woman loll

Nuwa is crying and the weird dreams…

omg a kuhn wad lookalike/real reincarnation? is she for real or is she possibly sent by the enemies?

I sooo wish the YouTube episodes were subbed bc it’s a hassle to watch it on random sites lol and i can’t just easily download it for commute

omg antsy teaser for next ep, so glad I only have to wait one day and that we’re getting 2 eps within the next 48 hours. I'm excited to see what questions and conflict and angst is in store.

Ep 7 (July 31)

I'm getting to watch this finally 7 hours after its release. I hope it breaks my fucking heart.

the thing is i kinda want her to be rencarnation fr bc its angsty and means more if san still chooses vee but also i just don't think shes her fr

san didn't even do anything fr he caught a scared crying girl in his arms but ig it can seem that way when you don't know the background info...

I need her to say something from her memory that nobody else except her and San would know because he might've told somebody else/the nephew-uncle mans and he might've told the new Wad if she is indeed a ploy from him

damn, they're just showing every single step to get this stone

the stone not giving a clear answer but still San can die if the wrong Wad reincarnation feeds it to him oof

Ouchhhh Vee being like "at first I thought she's stealing you from me but in fact, I'm the one who came later" as he's leaving San's place back to his own. but San's gotta stop him cmonn

good Vee and San still sleeping in the same bed

she's too insistent on Vee giving up San + her being the real Wad, hmmm. like girl you don't actually even know San

...Wadfah said she remembered... but Third walked right beside her, did she not realize that he looks exactly like the guy who killed her?

oof, Vee really wants to save his grandma with this stone. girl it already bestows a lifetime of pain on San, your grandma's gonna get even more fucked up if you feed this to her without San's permission since the stone's tied to him

at least Vee's telling the grandma about it instead of secretly feeding the stone to her, whew

Vee's so naive and eager and sad and DESPERATE when it comes to his grandma owwww this convo so sad

Wadfah trying to sow discord... I mean she's correct that Vee did steal the stone to save his grandma but... she's too eager to declare she doesn't think Vee is trustworthy... then again, if we were following a story of a reincarnated Wad who comes to the house to find somebody else has been thought of have been her and is living the life that's supposed to be hers and has fooled everybody into trusting them, we'd be on Wadfah's side in this story

San in tears after confirmation that Vee stole the stone omgggg

THIS IS SO FUCKING SAD, THE WHOLE FAMILY FEELING BETRAYED and the story of Vee trying to originally steal it resurfacing even though they thought he'd tried to protect this whole time omggg

returning the ring !!! T.T

nooo San steal loving and believing in Vee and calling after him owowowowowowowwwwww T.T

aw man Vee living with Third for now

stoppp don't think about the cute good and hot times while looking at your bed you shared with Vee, San :( also they do a whole lot of flashbacks to scene we've seen (and repeatedly too like 5 times seeing flashbacks of the same scene), so I'm glad that they showed a completely new cute scene of them together.

this fucking perfume coming up multiple times T.T

ahhh San's intense confrontation with Third omg, this was so good and it felt in character with both of them and the amount of drama/the conclusions that people drew from the confrontation also made sens

okay I just feel like San should at least bring up Wadfah's lack of reaction to seeing Third what the hell

nooo my poor Juu crying nooooooooo

San kneeling in front of Wadfah gave me a heart attack like omg 120smth year old guy please get up

OH MY GOD WE'RE REALLY GETTING SAN CHOOSING VEE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER HE IS WAD OR NOT AHHHH

now why did it start raining and thunder and lightning appears

girl, Wadfah outright asking for the 5 coloured stone... if the antagonists sent her, then they could've sent her to get the strong from San out of his own will

tears down Nuwa's face pls

whelp goodbye stone. i don't think San has another stone decoy to give to her

ah, he's again weak and in pain as the stone is far away

Wadgah's delighted smile while looking at the stone...

The angst is so good because it's something tangible and real and has been leading up to this for the whole show and there are so many people involved like San and Vee but also the family and Wadfah and the stakes are so high (100 years of waiting, true love, death if we have the wrong person, etc.). Becuase of it all, the angst doesn't feel over-dramatic or drawn-out, like this is big enough that people would be having these sorts of reactions. Similarly with San and Third's conflict, that was also violent and dramatic but it makes sense that San would get angry with Third because he's been jealous of him from the beginning and can't let go of Third's past life Trai's crimes while Trai is like mad but not over-the-top until he sees Wadfah and thinks San cheated and so everything came crashing down; the escalation to the punch and yelling made sense then. ahhh so good

I got San choosing Vee without knowing whether he's the real Wad or not, which was great and incredible (even though it hasn't led to their romance again yet) and even gave up his fucking stone for it. We also know Wadfah isn't really a good person and was after the stone. Ideally for me, I think the show would have Wadfah indeed be Wad's reincarnation but just be a different, worse person - not the same Wad as a century ago, the same way Third is a better person than Trai a century ago (unless he too is hiding something and is secretly a villain...). So have Vee and San end up together even though Vee's not Wad. However, I think maybe Vee really is Wad because somebody's gonna have to feed San that stone and if Wadfah's not a good person, we're gonna have to have Vee do it. so idk maybe neither of them are 1-1 Wad's reincarnation since we know both Vee and Wadfah share similar fates? and were born same time and place nad the stone glowed for them both... so maybe Vee and Wadfah could both have the power to feed San and Vee ends up doing it.

What a good episode omg

Although that's not to say everything was perfect and dandy; I think some more reasoning or conflict from Vee's end about stealing the stone would have been good. Like stealing it again without any thought to San? crazy. they should've at least had something like Vee believes very strongly that San would be fine without the whole stone, just a little bit. or like when Vee asks San for the stone, we don't see what San says except no but maybe they could've had San downplay the problems if the stone was gone and just been like no, not worth it to make your grandma be in pain, making Vee think there aren't too many consequences from San's end. or SOMETHING because it's wild how callously he just stole it and ran. or at least stronger sense of regret once he come out of the panic of thinking his grandma was dying and being like omg what have i done? i was in a zone when thinking about my grandma dying that i didn't stop to think omg like at least acknowledge it on text.

Also, Wandee’s necklace returning scene was a let-down fr, so I’m glad it hurt more and had more weight here

Okay somebody mentioned that in First Love, Again (I've watched this kbl but don't remember a single thing), the reincarnation started 1 cycle earlier and during that time the 2 men were together? or smth? and so maybe there was an earlier incarnation of Vee and San and then San and Wad came later. Also I'm nosy and forgot and so went to look through First Love Again, wasted 10 minutes of my time but couldn't find that part while skimming. whelp

Ep 8 (Aug 1)

ummmm why did I see some screenshots on Twitter with San clutching Vee's (??) body on the floor and crying... If this episode doesn't end happily/ends on a cliffhanger, I'm gonna lose my shit

ouchh San and Vee's scene

kiss w/ tear-striken faces aw

damn the ash baggie got lost so quick

Third is here too

not the "I don't wanna live if it's not with you" and resignation to die in a few weeks without the damn stone. San I'll smack you

okay they made up hehe hug

loll maybe Third really is a clueless nice dude like I've been hoping. confused af at these revelations

bro i'm so freaking sleepy but i also wanna finish watching this episode...

Juu my beloved finally realized Wadfah not recognizing Third is weird

lol not her being a seasoned criminal okayyyyy let’s go loll

fake stone trick again

man i can’t chill knowing that those screenshots exist like Vee probably gonna get shot this episode

did Chen and whoever keep the fake stone or give it back to wadfah bc it’s annoying if they kept it

not them all actingggg lmfao both Wad and San’s side putting up a play

ah oof, the stone not with Wadfah, I wonder if she will also come up with some fake stone to trick

oh nvm she got the stone from Chen unless They gave her a fake stone lmfaooo

they’re so fucking cute man

now why is San the bold one while Vee is shy, Vee’s the one who was talking about fucking people loll

cryingggg at Juu swearing on Dr. Tao’s life that the fake stone is the real stone lmfaoo

ohhh omg we’re the screenshots from San’s vision that Nuwa gave him?

girl i’m nervous the stone gonna suddenly stop glowing

lmfaoooo just in time

replicas so good neither of them can tell the difference?!

oh it’s flowing for Vee fr

are they gonna have to team up with Wadfah?

the shooting is very funny idk

the end?! girl what the hell

Pretty enjoyable show so far, I think the writing for this is quite strong, which is fairly rare. Hope the next 2 episodes hold up and that the show ends well.
