I didn’t initially plan to watch this show last week but you know what, it’s a happy accident that the Netflix algorithm showed this to me. Because that first episode got me.
We ended the previous episode with San having a wet dream involving Wee, and honestly probably the best way to keep the audience hooked. Anyway, San is back at the temple and is asking for a dream interpretation from Tao. Tao, what does it mean if I dream about fucking a guy? I’m no feng shui expert but I feel like that’s pretty self-explanatory.
We also learn something entirely new about San’s physiology. Ever since swallowing that stone 100 years ago, he’s never had a hard-on. Until now. I MEAN IF THAT GUY ISN’T FATED FOR YOU WHAT OTHER SIGN DO YOU NEED. Even Tao agrees and he’s a feng shui expert! San is still in denial about this pretty obvious sign, so Tao tells him to find out the exact date and time of Wee’s birth so he can recalculate it again and see if he really is the reincarnated Wad.
Meanwhile, we also get to find out a little bit more about Wee. He’s got a grandmother in the hospital undergoing chemotherapy. Grandma isn’t that stressed about it though, and wants Wee to just think about her living it up in the afterlife in case she does die. Kinda envy that perspective to be honest!
Wee tells him about meeting San and I really do like shows where there are accepting family members. I know it’s not the case for everyone, but there are definitely more accepting family members now than there used to be. I don’t think it’s bad to reflect that in media!
I also like that Wee is pretty confident that he’s cute and good-looking enough that he’s got a line of guys and girls willing to take care of him. You go bisexual king!
After the hospital visit Wee is back at the temple and of course San is there as well. Then they do one of those ridiculous bumping into each other things that dramas like these do but instead of just falling into each other’s arms San literally lands on top of Wee and their lips end up touching. I am seal clapping.
AND THEN TAO CALLS SAN A DIRTY OLD MAN I CAN’T. He literally is a centenarian having dirty thoughts about this guy he’s just met. But what can you do, it’s fate!
Chu isn’t having any of his denials either and just wants him to accept that Wee is Wad. And that he’d like to put a wad in Wee. I’ll be here all week. But that’s going to have to wait for a but because we’ve got another new character in Suchat, who’s a deadbeat relative that swindled San before. Anyways, Suchat had police look into Wee’s past and turns out Wee’s involved in swindling and gambling cases. However, I’m willing to bet that it’s all because he had to work hard for his grandmother.
AND THEN WE GET ANOTHER REVEAL. APPARENTLY SOME NIGHTS THE STONE TURNS SAN INTO A LITERAL CHILD. I…I can’t? I wonder how this is going to be used later on in the show.
And turns out I didn’t have to wait lon because San as a literal child is wandering around the streets of Bangkok — this is Bangkok, right? — and runs into Wee who looks like he stole someone’s wallet? But Wee says it just got caught on his bag strap and I gotta give him credit for a creative excuse. Then there’s a scuffle and I’m confused. Anyways, all of that is a convoluted way for kid!San to ask Wee his exact date and time of birth as well as his birthplace. I mean sure that was the best way to do this!
The next day, Tao tells him to just get used to using lube because Wee is The One. Chu tells him that he doesn’t have to date Wee and just have him help with the ceremony, but San feels like if he does that, wouldn’t the 100 years of pain waiting been all for nothing? I mean, top him once, at least!
San meets up with Wee and takes him to where everything happened 100 years ago and has him stand by a door while he whispers his story to his ear. I don’t know how this proves anything but I’m not complaining!
The whole test thing doesn’t go the way San thought it would, because Wee thinks its stupid to spend your life waiting for a dead person. He thinks people should live their life for themselves and of course San isn’t taking it well. It’s compounded by the fact that Wee gets attacked by a man with a knife and San has had it, officially.
Back at home, San is still stewing at the fact that Wee can’t remember, but Rat — that’s her name — points out that shouldn’t be happy instead because that just means Wee isn’t Wad? Suchat isn’t helping either, as he continues to impugn Wee’s character and even implying that Wee may be part of a scheme to get the magic stone.
And that scheme starts in earnest this episode, when a group of thugs break into San’s home, probably looking for the magic stone. It’s also where you get to find a little crack in the show because that whole conflict between Wee and San could have been solved if they just talked to each other. Or maybe I’m just not a big fan of the miscommunication trope.
At least the show doesn’t leave us hanging as to who is trying to steal the magic stone — the prince who shot Wad 100 years ago. Or at least a descendant because he’s looking pretty good for someone who’s more than 100 years old without any magical items on him!
