0% errors, 100% terrific!

What can I say? I fell in love with every single thing about this show. I am sure, for the more discerning, especially those who have read the manhwa, it may not have reached any kind of standards. It might also have felt repetitive, as it has every possible BL trope, but for me, I could not have found something more pivotal, that probably paved the way to even better and better Koreal BLs, The Eighth Sense being an excellent case in point.

Jaeyeong is not a seme that you usually find in dramas, yet he is the most common type. How you ask? He is handsome, popular, loved by the ladies, is always the one who people turn to, great in sports, great in studies, the one who might go abroad, etc, etc. But he is not arrogant. On the contrary, he is sweet, down-to-earth, gentle, caring, even a bit of a prankster, but endearing nonetheless. He is the one to first realise that he is sliding into that slippery tunnel that ends in love. He is genuinely attracted to Chu Sangwoo, and makes no bones about his feelings for his junior. And a when a seemingly straight guy falls for another guy, the feelings and the love and the chemistry are definitely going to be off the charts.

Sangwoo is a really unpredictable uke, He is the one who is arrogant, rude, robotic, and completely tsundere, a total power bottom. Quite a turnaround from your regular soft and sweet ones. He has never been in a relationship, so he is not even sure if he is gay or straight. But he has the rough and tough Jaeyeong dancing to his tunes. And he realises that this man here, can make him smile, can make him feel things that he has never felt before. He is by turn annoyed, sceptical, amused and enchanted by Jaeyeong, who he feels gets away with everything because he is handsome. However, in the end, he can't help but fall in love with the man who is his perfect foil, the absolute polar opposite.

Seoham and Jaechan are absolutely perfect for each other. The first thing that catches the eye is the adorable height difference. Both of them are stupendously good looking. And the supporting cast also does a fantastic job. I especially loved the fact that both the girls in the drama were not made out to be mean, bitchy and manipulative. I am kind of bored of that trope. The kisses were intense. There was so much longing in them. And I was just floored by the fact the it was Sangwoo who initiated most of them. Their PDA is perfectly on point, and doesn't seem forced or just put in there for effect! The scene where Jaeyeong discovers his pictures on Sangwoo's laptop has to be probably the cutest thing ever. While I know that a S2 is not immediately possible (Seoham is on his mandatory enlistment), but I would love for them to think about it once he is back. I can already imagine their life in France!

The music, while nothing over-the-top, is catchy and subtle, fitting in with the energy of the series and giving it a cool vibe!

Rewatch value: Absolutely! I can vouch for that because I have already seen it multiple times. So if are a BL fan and connoisseur, then this one is definitely for you!

Rehashed Classic you say? Absolutely not!!

I have watched every single version of this drama, Taiwanese, Japanese, Chinese, Korean and now Thai. And the winner is.... Drumroll please... F4:Thailand! I will tell you exactly why! Because the director has taken the Boys over Flowers manga in it's entire beauty, and created a version that is his own, covered all the elements, without too much angst, yet given each characters a phenomenal growth arc. Now that's how I am going to write my review, my feelings about each character and a bit of comparison.... SO please bear with me.

Thyme (Bright Vachirawit): I think I can just keep on talking and talking about Bright. He is a phenomenal actor. As Thyme, he is a force to reckon with. In all the versions that I have seen, it's the character of Thyme that has stood out. Why, you ask? Because, he is cruel, hard, crazy, soft, sweet, hot-tempered and has a personality of his own. His reasons to be what he was before he meets Gorya and his reasons to change after he meets her are very very well etched out. I am not going to say the other versions were bad, but somewhere, they were not convincing enough. And Bright as an actor has such beautiful and myriad expressions! AND his wardrobe!! Lol, full credits given to the person who styled him, because he or she did a fantastic job. How he begins to how he ends, all are expressed through the way he dresses.

Gorya (Tu Tontawan): It took me a while to digest that this was Tu's first ever show. She was just amazing. As the lead of Boys over Flowers, I must say no one has come as close as being the street smart, sassy and self sufficient Makino! And i say this even though I am a huge fan of Shen Yue (who played the same role in the Chinese version Meteor Garden.) Her chemistry with Bright is just perfect (BrightWin fans, kindly don't hate me, I love them too - I am just saying what it is). Their hate to love, enemies to lovers story is probably the most believable one I have seen. They talk, they fight, they spend time together. Once she agrees to be his girl, there is a beautiful change in the way they look at each other. And I love how she herself grows as a person. She is intelligent and knows when to step back. She knows how to answer Thyme's mom without making her lose face. She has such inner strength and beauty, that I was floored. In a world filled with chaos, she chose Thyme, the most chaotic!

Ren (Dew Jirawat): Oh, for unrequited love! I was pleasantly surprised at the casting of Ren. Dew is also a newcomer, and he thrilled me with his easy portrayal of Ren. His unrequited love for Mira and then his unrequited love for Gorya, the ultimate sacrifice that he makes when he goes to bring Gorya back to Thyme, his need to keep Thyme on track, him being a saviour for Gorya, never making her feel less than she was even though he knew what she felt for him, being her ally in the hardest times, being a pillar of strength for every single one of his friends, the growth of Ren is something that is a thing of beauty. He is the one who takes a stand for Gorya at the beginning when he didn't know her and at the end, when he knew her well enough to be sure that if anyone could bring Thyme back, it would be her. His undisputed love and affection for his friends made me somewhat downcast that he did not actually end up with someone. However, the general story arc ensured that I did not suffer from 2nd lead syndrome, because I kept rooting for Gorya and Thyme, unlike in the other versions.

Kavin (Win Metawin): Another character I just cannot stop talking about! Sauve, sophisticated, charming, playboy but loyal, loving and committed once he decides his path. I think we could not have found a better Sojiro. Yes, he is cold. He has suffered a heartbreak. But unlike with the other versions, Kavin's know-it-all, 'I hate everyone, yet I am a playboy' image is so easily chipped away to show the vulnerable and soft inside. A coconut in it's glory. That's what Kavin is. Hard and difficult to reach, but his softly called out endearment for Kaning really can make anyone let down their guard. The way he supports her at her break-up, the way he tells her his story, they way he allows her to see his broken side, the way he helps her with the garlands and flowers, the way he keeps turning up to meet her, is a clear indication that while he may not be expressive about it, but he was falling in love.

MJ (Nani Hirunkit): What can I say? This series gave me a 4th lead syndrome. I cannot, just cannot get over MJ. His sheer presence, his eyes, his unswerving loyalty, his unshakeable faith, him being the first to switch to Team Gorya, his mafia vibes, his skills with computers, there was nothing about MJ that I did not fall in love with. Also a first time actor, his looks and his acting were out of this world. What I also loved about MJ was his bike. He always arrived in such style and with such panache. He even managed to look sexy attending a funeral (rolling my eyes for effect). And his hair? I love me a boy with long hair!! I really want to see him in so many more dramas and want him to play the lead too. He certainly has the looks and the acting chops. Despite his harsh outside, MJ, like his best friend Kavin, is as gooey as chocolate inside. He never fails to look out, not only for his friends, but later also for Gorya. He is the prankster, keeping everyone smiling, yet never forgets the responsibilities that he has on his shoulders.

Plus points:
1. The friendship between the boys of F4. They are loyal, supportive and are mirrors for each other. They just don't show the good things about each other, they never fail to point out flaws either, which makes them excellent friends.
2. Gorya and the F4. When Thyme says that F4 will be Gorya's force, I never expected those words to be literally taken by the boys. Their love, their loyalty and their support of Gorya is so beautiful and unconditional that it made me jealous. To have these kind of pillars holding you up, no way in hell are you gonna falter!
3. Gory's relationship with the girls of F4. Kaning is her best friend and thinks of Gorya first, before she thinks of herself. Gorya has the same kind of feelings. With Mira, there is respect and a faith, that there will be support. With Lita, there is true camaraderie and honesty. She refuses to accept Thyme, until Thyme makes everything clear with Lita, because for her, friendships are more sacred that love itself. With Tia, there is a phenomenal sisterhood, because Tia accepts Gorya as the best choice for Thyme.
4. The fact that Gorya actually wore the necklace that Thyme gave her (how beautiful it was). In the other versions, after the guys put it on for the girls, they did not actually wear it. It remained a symbol. But Gorya wore it, and kept it safe when she was separated from Thyme.
5. Thyme's mom. The fact that we hate her for what she is, and then like her later, is the best way I can express what a phenomenal actor she is.
6. Hana and Talay. They hated Thyme and took revenge on Gorya. But their appearance in the series only served as a foil to strengthen the relationship between Thyme and Gorya. It did not feel out of place. Instead it was so well integrated with the story that it did not stand out as unnecessary.
7. The fact that Thyme apologised. On his knees. I was definitely impressed by that. No other show gave such a character development to the hero, and this made my day!
8. OST. The more I say, the lesser it is. Shooting Star and Who am I by my F4 boys plays on constant loop on my Spotify. And the other songs are just as wonderful. Definitely an OST that gives you goosebumps!
9. Chemistry between the cast. Each and every member of the cast plays they roles so well. There is a natural camaraderie that is pretty visible, be it Gorya's family (Fourth is adorable as her brother in this), Uncle Ga, the maids at Thyme's house... I can keep talking about them.
10. The fact that the women in this series are treated with dignity and respect and have a painful reason for doing what they did and are not made out to be toxic monsters who set out to ruin lives just for the heck of it. (Case in point : My Dear Donovan.. Ughh.. rolling my eyes in terror!)
11. Some of the amazingly hilarious moments in the show. Thyme inviting Gorya to join him in front of the whole school, Thyme and Gory's first 'date', the hospital prank by the boys, Thyme and Glakao's back and fourth, Thyme's spelling and mixed up Thai... loved it all!!

Where I would minus: I don't know. Maybe there were few minor flaws, but for the most part, most issues were dealt with amazingly. At times, it felt a bit over the top, but I think that too added to the charm of the show.

Rewatch value: Definitely! Absolutely! I watched it twice after. Can watch it any time!

In one word... Yuck!

There are 4 couples in this series, something like My Secret Love. But that's exactly where the similarities end. While My Secret Love was not exactly groundbreaking or fantastic, at least it had some sweet redeeming moments. But this drama is seriously flawed and absurd. I will split my review into story review (will contain spoilers), character analysis into 4 parts, for each of the couples, then music and miscellaneous.

STORY: Nothing new, falling rapidly into degenerative state. There is no plot at all after the first 4 episodes or so. It was decent to begin with. A senior gives a punishment to a junior. Bring a flower for me everyday, and in the process, let's fall in love. So all good. Starts of with a bang. And then fall flat. Because once the confession happens, it's same old, same old. I don't think I even write about anything, because each of the tropes are so done to death. I like the fact that the lead couple spoke about the whole forever problem of who is the 'top' and who is the 'bottom', but other than that, there is seriously nothing that is effective in this story!
#BossDuen: I can understand you are jealous that the person you like is talking to others, at least till the relationship is official. But once you are together, a little bit of faith is not too much to ask for, right? Boss is constantly jealous of Duen talking to anyone. I mean, what's with the level of jealousy? It's seriously so off-putting. And what's with the serious lack of physicality? I get that they are young. But they are college boys, for God's sake! And teenagers to boot! Can there be some PDA? Duen is so horrified by the thought of a physical touch that it is almost funny. He hates the notion of being touched. Was it the role that demanded it? Or was the actor seriously shy? Or was his family against it? They were the lead couple, for heaven's sake!! Okay, while I agree that a relationship doesn't need kissing or NCs, yes, but 0 affection, 0 softness, 0 PDA? Even Gemini and Fourth had more as Heart and LiMing in Moonlight Chicken. And I hate the fact that Duen keeps apologising all the time!! On top of that, if you are such a prude, do you really expect your boyfriend to just sit around and wait for you to grow up? And this, 'You allowed someone to kiss you, you don''t deserve me' trope is just annoying now. Please get rid of it. And their one sad encounter is the result of anger... Not happy at all.
#BossMek: No words. Mek has been in love with Boss forever. He just thinks that it's better to not say anything because, that way at least he will not lose his best friend. He sees Boss flirting with every girl possible and even getting into a relationship. But he continues to love him, even helping him to get his dream girl. But when Boss fails spectacularly and wallows in self-pity in front of Mek, things take a totally different turn, when Mek confesses, giving us the only kiss in the series. But at least their relationship is sweet, maybe because they have been friends for so long that the comfort level between them is amazing! Just one thing that was very jarring? Mek's voiceover or dubbing! What the hell was that? They ruined a halfway decent couple with that shit!
#TharaFrong: Not gonna lie. They bored me to death. Thara is weird AF. Final year medical student, picks up trash when stressed, keeps a lizard as a pet and rides a bicycle with a helmet on. Frong is always in this tsundere mode, kind of weird and totally cold. You can say he is worried about his mom, but still it got boring fast. Plus the couple started late in the day, so their chemistry didn't really live up to my expectations. I was hoping for something a little more mature, but alas, I was disappointed as hell!
#KingRam: Now that's what we call a couple. Ram is a complete introvert, hardly talks, except when he is with people closest to him. But slowly and steadily King pulls him out of his shell. Not that Ram starts talking nineteen to a dozen or something, but he does try to open up his heart to his senior. The amazing part is how well they understand each other. Even without him saying a word, King absolutely understands Ram, making it easy for him to open up to him and tell him his troubles. Though they never officially a couple, they are probably the closest and the easiest on the eye. And the sweetest. In the later half, I pretty much started to fast-forward just to watch them and their story unfold.

If you have not already watched it before, please don't. It's a humble request. Not worth it at all! 14 episodes of a series that could have been wrapped up in 8, waste of 6 episodes and our time!

Don't believe the synopsis

I watched 2 Moons and 2 Moons 2. I was extremely disappointed. So at first I decided not to watch this one. But then I was like, what's the worse that can happen, right? At least I can say I finished the set. But I was in for a pleasant surprise! First and foremost, do not believe the synopsis. It's completely misleading. Yo's story is just a passing mention when Pha tells Lom about it. Suthee is not there. None of the previous characters are in major roles. This story belongs completely to Lom and Tatch. And what a story!
Let me be really clear here. 2 Moons was sort of okay. 2 Moons 2 was a disaster. But The Ambassador was really well done. It had a 'Enemies to Lovers' trope. Pretty done to death, but gave me a seriously nice feel. Something like 'Why R U?'. Let me get into the story.
Lom loses the University Moon contest and that's when Tatch walks into his life. Suffering from something like a victim's complex, and hating Tatch were for turning up late to the university and not being in time for the selection process of the Moons. And so for the next contest, he guilt trips Tatch into participating. But Tatch is clear, the game has to be fair and square. Then starts the war between them. A bit of a backstory here. So Tatch had seen Lom at the consolation part that his friends threw for him after he lost the Moons. Knowing that he has a crush on Manfah, Tatch does anything and everything he can to get Lom's attention. Slowly finding himself more and more attracted to Tatch than he thought, Lom is wonderfully surprised when Tatch confesses, thus starting a beautiful love story.
What I found most interesting in the series was the level of communication Lom and Tatch have. They don't tend to prolong their problems and talk stuff out. Lom trusts Tatch completely and doesn't believe anything anyone says about him, which is fairly surprising in itself, especially in Thai BLs. Usually, we see constant miscommunication and misunderstandings galore, but Lom and Tatch are so into each other, and so much trust, that it seems almost unbelievable at times. Tatch makes no bones about his liking of Lom, and once they start dating, can't seem to keep their hands (or lips) off each other. They are constantly showing their affection, and serious PDA. It is not like one sad dead fish kiss and one sadly disoriented NC. Instead we get extremely cute and hot kisses and seriously well fleshed out NCs, which actually look like love making scenes (the expressions on their face is so natural and damn sexy!!). Damn! Maybe I should go back and watch.
As for the remaining couples, the lesser said, the better, except maybe for Forth and Beam, who seem to have maintained their sex appeal in all three versions of this series.
So all in all, I would recommend a one time watch, at least watch Bandit and Mark. They are just too cute and spectacular together. And the height difference is so NARAK!!
As long as you can ignore the sorry messes of the three returning couples and how after so many years together, they don't have the understanding that the new couple has, then feel free to watch this show just for Lom and Tatch!

Ghost? Yes! Horror? No!

This started off with a great premise. I was hoping for something like Let's Fight Ghost. A protagonist who is able to see ghosts and fights with them or tries to understand them with their skills and give them a befitting send-off. But how sadly I was disappointed.
The MLs are surprisingly good looking, and are decent actors and have nice chemistry. But I really wish they had chosen something more fulfilling in terms of their roles. The plot of the series kind of throws a spanner in the whole running of it. Started off decently well. Kawin comes back to Thailand after 10 years to his aunt's house. He is vlogger, and runs a live ghost-busting show. His idea is to see if he can see the ghost of a 'friend' he lost. Later references sort of make it clear that he was more than a friend. In Thailand, he finds Pleum, who works in his aunt's house as a man of all trades. Feelings develop between the two, and Pleum falls really hard for Kawin. He becomes a support system for Kawin when he realises that his entire family are ghosts. They have been dead a while. Kawin and Pleum work hard to give a proper send-off to everyone.
But the whole plot disappeared from there. Why and what exactly happened to everyone? Why did Pleum so easily forgive everyone who was possibly his father's killer? Why was Kawin so obsessed with his 'friend'? I hated that he left Pleum without saying a single word. He let Pleum find out through a live 7 days later. If you are in love with someone, you don't get intimate with someone else. You don't use the same endearments as you did with your 'ex'. And I hated Pleum for being so forgiving. If it was me, I would have never forgiven someone who hurt me this badly and walked away without a single thought as to what he was leaving behind. And then he had the audacity to sort of confess, while letting him know that he had no plans to come back.

The one and only amazing thing about this series, Tod's really cute shorts!! No wonder Pleum could not keep his hands off him!! NCs were well done, especially the last. Kisses were spectacular!
All in all, I hated it. This could have been so much better.

The cutest green flag

I am going to just say one thing about this drama. AE, AE, AE, AE, AEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Ae is the biggest green flag I have ever seen. Perth Tanapon is terrific in this series. Just 17 yo and phenomenal, maybe beyond that. He speaks with his eyes.

Okay, getting into the story. It is probably your regular university drama. But there are several instances that set it apart. First, Ae is not your regular seme. He is not rich, not arrogant, not great in studies. He is simple boy, from a middle class family, whose greatest love is football and his niece. Then he meets Pete, just by chance, when he almost mows him down with his bicycle. They become friends, much to the surprise of their other friends, especially Tin, who believes that Pete should not mingle with the so called lower class.

Pete is gay, and traumatised by a school senior when Ae helps him out. Ae encourages him to talk to him mom, thus leading to one of the first times that I have actually seen such a beautiful confession of a child when he comes out, at least in a Thai drama. Pete's mother loves her son enough to accept him the way he is, and mother and son share a lovely moment!

Pete is slowly falling in love with Ae, and you can see it in his sweet stolen glances. But he respectfully keeps his distance, not wanting Ae to share the same trauma as he did of being called gay. And therein lies the whole twist. Because while Pete does fall first, Ae falls harder, way harder. Although there is a moment in episode 6 where Ae makes a heartfelt acknowledgement of the fact that he is a guy who falls for girls, but it doesn't matter when it is about Pete, the scene feels a little off, mainly because in the earlier episodes, it is kind of clear that Ae never felt anything for anyone. And in his conversation with Pond, it is obvious that he has never felt aroused the way he has felt with Pete. So I didn't understand the point of that conversation. However, nothing can take away from the fact that Ae is in love, with a capital 'L'! And once he falls, no one can stand in his way, not even Pete. Pete tells him several times that he will be better off with a girl, but for Ae, his softness, the crazy feeling in his head, his possessiveness and obsession, and his insane jealousy, his love and his lust, it's all Pete's and no one can change that.

And that brings me to the end of the best part of this series. Because everything else is filler. I like the actor who plays Pond, but i hate his character. He is a bit too weird and icky for my taste. TinxCan are not a normal couple at all. TumxTar are brothers, I get that. And this type of love I have seen. I mean HIStory 4: Close to You is the perfect example! But Tum and Tar just put me off big time. Too clingy, too creepy. And TechnoxKla, absolutely not. They should have put a trigger warning. I am really glad that in S2 of this drama, No didn't really forgive him till the end. Something redeemed.

So all in all, if you want to watch this drama, I will recommend the AePete parts, because therein lies the entire beauty of this story. Not a single dull moment. Even before they actually become a couple, which is quite soon enough, there are several cute, lovey-dovey, 'butterflies in the stomach' inducing moments. And there is not even the hint of a break-up, because, wonders of wonders!!! Ae and Pete have actual communication. They talk to each other and care for each other's opinions. They tell each other their feelings, good or bad! So this couple has my whole heart!

Fully recommended for Saint and Perth fans. Give them a lot of love guys!

Soft, sweet

I am a huge fan of Bls (obviously) and KBLs never fail to impress me. CBAW was definitely in 'I love it' category.

Story : Taesung and Haebom have known each other since they were children. For Taesung, Haebom is his everything, even though he is in a lot of denial. But while he does fall first, Haebom does fall harder. TS allows HB to grow, to become stronger, to become his own person, all the while taking care of him and loving him unconditionally. Which is exactly what HB needed. He is not weak, just a bit soft because he has always felt indebted to TS's family. However in no way does that step back when he realises that he could lose TS. He comes beautifully into his own when he takes a stand for their love. And that is something I just loved in this story. It was never about not liking TS, it was just about disappointing TS's mom. And the lack of toxicity in this drama between the two leads just floored me.

Cast : I can't say enough about the cast. Both Jin-Uk and Kang Hui are superb. Their chemistry is off the charts. I love the characters of Ji-a and Yong-hee. Friendships should be like that, completely supportive. For a moment, in the initial episodes, I got the feeling that Yong-hee likes TS, but it was just jealousy over a friend a guess. I loved the fact that Jin-Uk and Kang Hui are really cute and pleasant in real life as well.

Chemistry : The chemistry of the lead pair is off the charts. And that is an understatement. HB is the softness to TS's rough edges. They just fit so well. The kisses are not ridiculous or unwanted and desire is an always burning lamp between them, which is something rare in a KBL. HB is always blushing when it comes to TS, and TS is always possessive of his love. The dream sequence is the sweetest. I wish they had done a longer love making session, but whatever was presented was adorable.

Music : The music is not very memorable, but it didn't detract from the story or the plot, so I guess it was okay in its own way.

Things I would want to change : Some story strings were not tied up to my liking. For ex, HB's bully suddenly disappeared, the girl who like TS in college disappeared, YH and Ji-a's story.. I felt that quite a few things were left hanging.

But all in all... I loved this drama and will recommend it all and sundry!

A great start, unpolished end

The series was fantastic, started off really well. The push and pull between the main characters really worked. However, it really bugs me that no-one realised that Pete was suffering from the Stockholm Syndrone.... It was just completely overlooked... Shocking, but not surprising because this series just glosses over hell of a lot of things. But overall, it is worth a watch. I especially like Porche and Kinn's smile is a killer!!! But honestly, it's Vegas's English and his accent that gets me going.... Oooh !!! The heat it generates... Especially when he says to Pete, 'Do you know how sexy you are?' God knows I want someone to say that to me!!!

So far, so good!

Okay, first things first.
I put off watching this show for the longest time because I hated Fiat's character in TharnType S2. But this show pleasantly surprised me. Hat's off to Leo's patience that he put up with all of Fiat's shenanigans. Given a chance, I would reach out through my screen, and slap him hard. He is selfish, manipulative and not even a halfway decent character. But aren't all of us like that at some point in our lives? We all have out moments, where we turn into Fiats by and large. Maybe that's why we hate him so much in the beginning. His past trauma was so hard to bear.
His mother is ill. But does his dad explain everything to him? No! He decides to martyr himself. That's absolutely ridiculous. I hate parents like these, who traumatise their children more under the guise of it all being 'for their own good'. This is the silliest and most immature trope. BL writers, please give it up. Type's dad was another so called righteous dad. Ugghh! But I admire and respect Leo for being able to communicate for both their sakes and take no nonsense from anyone, including Fiat when needed. I had thought he is was a pushover when it came to Fiat, but he stood his ground when needed.
The friends and teammates all have my heart. The twins are the sweetest. I however didn't like the fact that they were not given proper screen time and were instead reduced to being literal sidekicks, as in, they walked into the screen when needed, and walked out when their work was done. It was considerably mishandled.
Now let's come to the best and most amazing part of this show, everyone's favourite, Leon. he is absolutely the bestest character that I have ever met in all the BL series I have seen so far, and I have seen many. He is sweet, polite, respectful of his partner and steady as a rock. He is truly boyfriend material. I think people like him exist, but under a rock somewhere. I just need to find him!

So all in all, until now, going good. I am left with 2 more episodes so let's see where we go from here!

Quick update:
I am done with it. But why oh why are the women always the lying, manipulative bitches in BL dramas? Please stop it now! High time. I am ok with the ending. I am hoping though they make a story for Leon and Pob... they were my absolute favourites!!...
