exactly my thoughts for the late car pickup the only way i could rationalise it was to assume that it was already close to dawn when Patts and Tai called them, and they napped for an hour or so rather than sleep an entire night. also maybe it took a while for the car/truck to bypass the guards/roadblocks (they did mention that the road up to the mountain area was blocked off cos of danger of landslides)

2023-06-21 02:11:31 +0000 UTCDid they ever mention that Lomfon or Tien have hearing loss ever? I don’t think so right? Cause the hearing loss is like a condition you born with, not something that develops or reveals until you turn 20 right? I could be wrong though but I do think ep 1 they mentioned this hearing loss as in…a condition you get from birth and till you turn 20, you start to hear your soulmate’s voice…. And in tai’s family, not all of them have the condition right? Only Tai and his parents, cause tai also has an older brother who definitely passes 20 already but he didn’t have the condition, and neither does Tien and Nuea….? It’s not a genetic condition that passes on to all the family members? Might be gene related but the heredity depends upon chance of the chromosomes?? Idk but I do think only Tai and the parents have the condition, but not tien and Lomfon, and previously they never mentioned that Lomfon has the condition as well right? Otherwise in ep 5, when it rains and tai was talking to phat, but Lomfon heard tai’s voice clearly, he doesn’t have hearing loss….🤔🤔🤔🤔😊😊😊

2023-06-20 23:29:24 +0000 UTCReally nice thoughts and recaps on the concepts!👍👍👍and yeah, the Flashbacks!!!😭😓😂at this point I’m pretty much getting used to it already like whatever….; moreover, on the writing of this episode, some plots setting just felt so unrealistic and weird like tai and phat just sat down in the middle of the mountain road and slept there on the ground sitting not lying down…and phat called Kung the girl to send a car to help pick them up, it was at night but it took a full night for them to drive towards phat and tai till the morning…phat asked for sending the car right away, but they didn’t send the car till morning and just let those two sleeping in the middle of the road out of nowhere, sitting there and freaking freezing, probably bugs as well….😬😬😬😬I mean, phat said they are at the bottom of the mountain hill already so it’s not that hard to drive to them, it’s not like they’re at the top of the mountain and after raining it might be difficult on the road into the mountain, they were literally at the bottom foothill….jeez! But yeah, a little bit unrealistic here and there in the plot but overall still decent episode I guess…🫶😊

2023-06-20 22:45:03 +0000 UTCI theroized on twitter, if let's say it seemed like Lomfon could also hear Tian voice? Could it be that the proximity to the mountain not only activated his "soulmate frequency", but also made it so he could hear his soulmate, Tian and because of proximity, Tai and Patts? So this will be taking it too deep, but I think about radio station frequencies and how sometimes you can catch a frequency well in some places, but say you go into a tunnel you may not. so as he gets further away from the mountain his true frequency may be clearer..??? In theory, he got a mixed signal cause of being close to the mountain... it only happens when you turn 20 to hear the soulmate frequency. So that meant that Phat couldn’t hear Tai until he turned 20. I can’t remember what ep I saw it in, but they did mention it starts at age 20. If I recall correctly, Tian was wearing a school uniform in one of the 2 year flashbacks. So say he was 17/18 2 years would put him at either 19 soon to be 20. So Tien can develop the hearing loss until he is 20

2023-06-20 22:32:50 +0000 UTCThank you so much!💗🤭🤗😇yeah, pretty much now I’m just like wanna be considerate with tai’s feelings…even though I might not be okay with phat and the writing of him at the moment….but as long as Tai is ok and happy and he wants to be with phat, then I’m happy for him and respect that; but personally if I’m Tai, I would not agree to be with phat, to date him after what all just happened…just no! But I’m not tai, so I can’t judge and make decisions for him, it’s tai’s choice and decision and if he’s happy with phat, then I’m happy for him as well!💗🤗😊🥰

2023-06-20 21:48:18 +0000 UTCI totally agree!!👏👏👏let’s see if the rest 4 episodes could give us more on their development of the relationship further than just physical attraction; cause this episode pretty much they are now clearly officially dating, the status confirmation…so then maybe after this ep, they could give us more of them knowing and developing….maybe they were trying to wait till after they became boyfriends officially and then go from there, it only took 8 episodes😆😆😆🤣😂well, at least anything compared to step by step would be ok with me at this point🤣🤣🤣🤣as long as nothing happens like step by step did, I’m cool with it….😅😅😅

2023-06-20 21:34:25 +0000 UTCsame mixed feelings as you. I almost felt like Patts was gaslighting (not sure if correct word) or smoking Tai with these lines. i see comments saying that Thai culture allows them to have flings etc and nothing in the past before they 'turn exclusive' by becoming boyfriends/girlfriends is questioned. not quite sure what i think about it cos they implied to be pretty exclusive already. [nolan and kent also talked about this] why does it seem like Tai was in the wrong to have felt possessive (in the positive manner) of his man? help

2023-06-20 17:49:17 +0000 UTCOn this line: Patts said to tai “even if we are not soulmates, and we can’t hear each other during raining…, I will still choose to love you, to be with you!” i can't say that i am fully convinced - till now i have not seen them growing to understand one another's likes and dislikes, and navigating around it. That one scene in the car where Tai mentioned for Patts to act normally and that there was no need to treat him as overly special? And Patts agreeing to it? love it, would love it more if we could have heard more of Patt's views/thoughts on it. Would be great to have more of these interactions to show us how they are like, what they think about each other, how their idea of love changes and develops as they get to know each other and themselves further. Though i like Patts and Tai's acting + chemistry, I barely see any convincing content (aside from physical attraction) around development - i blame the screenwriter for now

2023-06-20 17:42:13 +0000 UTCi have a love-hate relationship with this show. the editing and dragging pisses me off. the acting is decent (Title is slaying it), script and premise is interesting. Love the theme of: 1) Having soulmates decided for you (the rain thing) vs to decide your soulmate for yourself (have the decision power). If we look at Lomfon and Tai, they have common interests and generally enjoy talking to one another and being in one another's presence. whereas Patts started from this rain soulmate thing, and later physical attraction. i wish the show could give more on what they like and dislike about one another (actual development of relationship) instead of just flowing along as it is - maybe we'll see more later. 2) theme about the idealism of love The reason Tai is so against the idealistic love between soulmates IS BECAUSE he is the extreme romanticist in the concept of true love. I like the tension and confusion Tai portrays, even if it looks somewhatimmature at times. Then to Lomfon, who is 'perfectly logical' to believe that rain soulmates are just matching frequencies and coincidences, also fell prey to falling for his first love who saved him, even if he has no idea who it was other than the keychain - also a romanticist in another light. they are the same thing yet portrayed as opposites in different fashions. Now with Lomfon being added to this RainApp groupchat, the themes are getting hit on hard. I just hope the director/editor stops all the unnecessary flashbacks and slow motions - have more faith in your actors (the main leads are decent!) and more faith in your audience's intellect and memory. Too much tell too little show.

2023-06-20 17:37:37 +0000 UTCLast thing I wanna mention is what’s happening with Lomfon? What!! So looks like my guess or Lomfon’s own theory previously was right!! The soulmate thing is not some destiny!! It’s just a sound frequency that you could potentially hear during raining! It’s not some predestined thing, it’s just science, a frequency that your ears can hear if you try hard enough to find it?? Is that it? I’m thinking this is more like a “love frequency” imo, like if you have feelings for someone and you realize it, then you could hear their voice, their specific frequency no matter what conditions or situations you are in? I guess? Otherwise how do you explain that Lomfon now can hear tai as well during raining? And NOT BOTH tai and phat, it was ONLY tai!! Not phat? Why? (It’s a bit confusing but I do think that if it is phat ALONE speaking during raining, I don’t think Lomfon can necessarily hear him, but because he likes tai, so he kinda “found” tai and phat’s frequency? So now if tai is talking during raining, he can hear him, and because it’s the frequency for both tai and phat, so if both of them are talking, Lomfon can hear both of them?? It’s still not clear yet, but I do think it’s because of Lomfon’s feelings that matters, if it’s just phat talking solo, I doubt lomfon can hear him….🤔🤔🤔) Because deep down Lomfon has feelings for tai so now he worries sick about tai and he found tai’s frequency after talking to him for quite long that now he could find tai’s frequency, is that it? Now he could hear him during raining!! Ughhh!😬😬😬😬and this might make Lomfon realize that “oh he indeed has feelings for tai and they could potentially have a chance???” idk how I feel about this…this might be the trouble later on for the rest of the series!! Cause imagine now, he could hear Tai during raining, what if tai and phat get into arguments again? Right? What could happen? He could easily interfere with their relationship, knowing their secret conversations during raining? Idk how this hearing during raining works…can a person deliberately block themselves from hearing others or prevent others hearing them??? And then let’s not forget about tien!! He also has feelings for Lomfon! Omg!! This could also potentially be another mess!! Lomfon likes tai, so I assume he probably won’t want to see tai be sad, but the moment tai runs into trouble with phat, Lomfon might come to him like a knight and that might cause even more trouble….and moreover, when tien realizes he has feelings for Lomfon and saw how Lomfon is towards tai, he will also get hurt….Ughhh!!! This might be another quadrilateral mess!! Hurting 2 or more people…and I’m not looking forward to see that!! Let’s hope the show won’t get that messy again, but I have a feeling that they might…😵💫😵😬😬🤣🤣😩😫😢🥺🥺 Overall, I love the episode but not quite ok with the writing of phat and his behaviour….he should’ve at least apologized and clear things with tai, and he should’ve at least pushed Nara away when she kissed him, at that point, if tai saw him push her away, tai might not feel that hurt and run to the hills tbh!!

2023-06-20 14:46:42 +0000 UTCMeanwhile, the one important aspect that I do love about this episode is what they did and explored a bit more about the “soulmate” concept!! Like I mentioned in previous episodes, what if they can hear others during raining, or else….etc.. I have said it before, the whole “soulmate” thing is just a potential opportunity for people to meet, but what happens after is solely dependent on how and what the 2 people act and decide…. Now here, this episode, I love phat said to tai “even if we are not soulmates, and we can’t hear each other during raining…, I will still choose to love you, to be with you!” Here, this is what I like!! Phat and tai love each other not just because of some “soulmate”destiny, it is because it’s both of their own choice!! They both made that decision themselves to be together regardless of soulmate or anything else…. The soulmate thing is just providing an opportunity… that’s it! Just like not every soulmate pair in that universe would end up together! Like even if they are soulmates, just like tai’s parents, being soulmates doesn’t guarantee anything… tai’s parents went into trouble and they gave up…, soulmates will run into problems just like every other couple, what matters most next is how do you deal with those problems!! So like tai said, even if he went up to the top of the hill, he would still not understand why his parents did and end up like that…because the hill itself is just a place, it doesn’t matter where, what matters is whom the person you went to that place with!! And then when you 2 run into problems, how do you deal with them? Communication and work things out or give up, go separate ways…it’s just like every couple on the planet, soulmate thing is not special at all when it comes to working out relationships!! So I love that phat and tai realized that, it’s not just because of being soulmates, even if they are not, or if they can hear others during raining, right now they understand that they will still love each other no matter what or whom they hear during raining!! And that’s really good for me!!👍👍👍👌👌👌👏👏👏

2023-06-20 14:45:40 +0000 UTCFirst of all, I’m still so mad at phat even after the episode is over, no excuses for him!! I honestly don’t like how they handled phat this episode!! Basically he just didn’t say much to clear everything, mostly it was the others talking….ughhhh!!!😳😤😫😩 I mean, not only he kissed Nara 2 months ago in that flashback, we finally saw what it was!(and to think that many people didn’t want to admit that phat kissed someone, they still thought it was a movie or some even thought it was him kissing a toy etc…😖😭) but now we saw he indeed kissed Nara; but what was his excuse!! That he was drunk? What? That’s it???!!!😲😲that’s his excuse phat?!?!! I mean, even though him and tai are not together yet that moment, but still he didn’t clear things up once he decided to pursue tai and hit on him; once they reached the “talking stage” they kissed and technically had sex already, even though they aren’t officially “dating”yet, but still, the moment tai confessed that he has feelings for phat, phat should’ve cleared the air, and told tai what happened that night when tai heard the kissing sound, and make it clear that he doesn’t love Nara anymore…!! But no he said nothing… and just let that be a potential problem…!!! But then, not only that, at the camp, when Nara kissed him, I mean it’s good that he told Nara he doesn’t want to get back with her, but he didn’t push her away when she kissed him!! We thought it might be editing trick, but no, that was strictly quite some seconds into the kiss and he closed his eyes the whole time!! No excuses for him!! He should’ve pulled away the second she kissed him!! No!! Ok!! It’s not okay with me!! And he didn’t even push her away the whole time, it was until Nara stopped and he just stood there the whole time frozen!! So no! Ok!! I don’t like what they did here!! And then, what’s more, when phat found tai, and they started to talk, tai said first, “I’m not mad at you and Nara, also not mad about what happened 2 months ago between you and her……” stuff like that and tai apologized….!! What!! Tai!! What does he have to apologize for!! And phat didn’t say the word sorry at all throughout the entire time!! What is this!! What did tai do!! He went up the hill, put himself in danger and others worried about him, but all of this is whose fault!! Haaaaa!! It’s all phat’s fault!! Honestly I’m not mad at tai or Nara at all! The only person I’m mad with is phat!! Fully!! What the heck is this!! So what? Now everything is ok between the 2 of them and then what? We are all suppose to forgive and forget like tai did? Is that it!! No! Ok! Not sit right with me!! I really don’t like the writing with phat here!! He didn’t clear anything up about this whole Nara thing!! He should’ve at least apologized for his interaction, his relationship with Nara in the past!! Otherwise what’s with all the “oh phat, you are so patient with me for 2 years!!” What’s up with that!! Ok? He was not being patient ok!! phat was involved with Nara and even after they broke up, he got drunk one night and decided to what? Kiss Nara? If that night didn’t rain, if tai didn’t hear them, god knows what would’ve happened!!😮💨😵😵💫🙄😶😶😶😬😬ughhhh!! And this is what ep 4 at the rooftop when the friend was talking to phat, what she was referring to right? That night, Nara and phat broke up but then one night he kissed her again! Omg!! All of this is a mess and god damn phat didn’t clear anything up with tai!! What is this!!! So yeah, really don’t like the writing with phat here! Basically he didn’t do much clarification and explanation and tai just like “oh all of those are not important anymore, the only thing matter is that you are here with me now and we both know that we love each other and that’s enough already!” Ok??? I’m glad they are together ofc but still phat should’ve apologized and clear all the things up with tai about Nara and what he did!! Jeezzz!! Idk, I somehow have mixed feelings about this episode!!
