I am not entirely sure about the timeline, but this takes place a few years after Tian returned from his studies abroad. There seems to be quite a bit of tension between Phupa and Tian, even before Pran and Pat arrive. Their way of handling their problems might be quite childish, one would expect them to talk about it more seeing they have been together for a long time. But at least they are dealing with it now.

I do think that the problem that the two have is quite realistic. It probably should have been dealt with earlier into their relationship, but still. Phupa is obviously struggling with the social differences between him and Tian. And while it might be less obvious while they are on the mountain, once they return to the city, it becomes much more obvious. I think that makes Phupa feel like he is not good enough for Tian. Maybe he even fears that Tian might realize that and leave him. Which is why he always avoids going with Tian when he visits his parents. Tian loves him fully, but that doesn’t make Phupa’s insecurities any better.

I love seeing the two on the mountain, but they look adorable while in the city. Especially Phupa, it’s interesting seeing him this shy and in his sugar baby era. But damn, Earth looks absolutely stunning in black. It really suits him. And their chemistry is amazing, as always.

I like the episode. It was fun, but I wish it would be a bit more focused on Phupa and Tian. I do love Pat and Pran and Ink and Pa, but this was supposed to be Phupa and Tian episode, so I really wish we would have seen more of the two and less of the others. Especially considering the fact that we had a BB focused episode before the crossover.
