This is for people like me who are going crazy about ep.9 and want to see it like RIGHT NOW! I'm sure it'll be filmed a little differently, but most of their dialogues should be the same. They're pretty consistent with the lines. Please do NOT click if you don't want to see spoilers, do NOT post this anywhere else. This is just the part about the beach/gear scene.

    "I want to apologize."

    The only word that needed to be said was said with a serious tone. Along with his feelings from deep within, he wanted P'Arthit to know and wanted another chance.

    Kongpope made eye contact with the person in front of him with hope, instead the answer he got was a cold reply.

    "Apologize for what?"

    "Well, everything that made you upset."

    "If you know I would get upset, then why did you do it?"

    ... Just those few words were enough to cut into the listener's heart.

    Kongpope was at a loss for words, he couldn't find any reasons to give to him. It was because he himself didn't know why he did what he did.

    ... It wasn't that he never thought of it, he had asked himself many times why he kept on teasing P'Arthit. Why did he say things that would get P'Arthit riled up when in the end it was himself that would get worried and had to find a way to apologize every time.

    "Well... I..."

    The one trying to explain mumbled as he tried to put his words together, but instead it was the listener that gave a heavy sigh as if he was running out of patience.

    "Enough already, I don't want to argue with you anymore."

    Arthit cut him off and headed towards his own friend's table. Leaving Kongpope alone by himself, with his heart frozen in a flash.

    ... It's gone, P'Arthit wasn't even going to give him a chance.

    It was well deserved, he was the one that made P'Arthit this upset. It wasn't only once, there were lots of times, maybe to the point where P'Arthit had enough of it. To the point where P'Arthit wouldn't want to be associated with him at all.

    Just the thought of it made his feelings swell up and his heart heavy, he couldn't believe that one single person could have this much impact on his heart. Someone that he has only known for 3 months, yet he could remember every detail about this person.

    ... Someone that had become his inspiration to do a lot of things.
    ... Someone who could make him laugh and smile from the little things in life.
    ... Someone that he wanted to get to know more of and get closer to.

    ... P'Arthit is the first person and he is the only one.

    But from now on he wouldn't have a chance to experience those things anymore. If P'Arthit doesn't want to get involved with him, he'll be the one to disappear from P'Arthit's sight. So that he can be at ease.

    Kongpope kept all his emotions and feelings bottled up in his heart. He turned around and was about to walk away. But before he could take a step, he felt something cold on his neck that made him flinch. He turned around quickly to see what it was, his eyes widened when he saw the man that had given him the cold shoulder earlier. He was handing him a can of beer and asked a short question.

    "Do you want a drink?"

    Kongpope took the cold can of beer, he was confused by the situation, he looked at the person he thought he wasn't going to see anymore. Arthit sat down on the beach right there, opened the can of beer and took a sip with a relaxed expression, to the point where he couldn't help but ask.

    "I thought you didn't want to talk to me anymore."

    "I said I didn't want to argue with you anymore, but if you're going to talk to me then come sit down and talk to me nicely. Or do you not want to talk?"

    "Of course I want to."

    Kongpope accepted the opportunity right away, he sat down on the beach next to Arthit... he didn't know what P'Arthit was thinking. But judging from his actions it seems P'Arthit wasn't mad at him anymore, plus he also went and got him a can of beer.

    ... This was also another time that he was receiving 'generosity' from P'Arthit, time after time.

    Kongpope opened the can of beer and took a sip, he watched the ocean in the dark of the night. The crescent moon and stars looked prettier than any other night, the ocean breeze was gentle, the waves crashed against the shore, the atmosphere was so good that he wanted to let his heart rest. He started to bring up something that he had always wanted to know.

    "Why did you become the head of the hazing team?"

    "I was forced."

    ... It was short and right to the point, Kongpope nearly dropped the can of beer in his hand. Arthit continued his story.

    "P'Tum, my older code member was the third year head of the hazing team when I was a first year. So he forced me to follow in his footsteps."

    ... P'Tum the older code member, he was about to marry P'Phone who was Kongpope's older code member in about 2 weeks. He remembered them well from the two code member's gathering at the grilled pork restaurant. But Kongpope never knew that P'Tum was the head of the hazing team during P'Arthit's first year.

    "Actually, I didn't want to do it. Being the head of the hazing team comes with a lot of burden, plus it wasn't my type of habit. I had a bad temper, when I grabbed your shirt collar on the first day in the cheer room I was almost removed from my position, because I went against the rules. I spoke inappropriately to you, plus I also touched your body. But my friends spoke up for me, because they didn't help stop it. So we all took the blames equally. P'Dear saw that it was my first offense so he let us off, instead he ordered us to run 20 rounds around the field."

    These behind the scenes stories that Kongpope never knew about, it provoked his feelings. This was the first time he was understand things from P'Arthit's point of view. No wonder... after that incident P'Arthit never lost his cool to the point of using inappropriate words with them in the cheer room. He also changed his way of speaking to include reasons when he spoke to him. Even though the person that got P'Arthit upset in the first place was him.

    The person that was repenting didn't argue, he could only say the same old words.

    "I'm sorry."

    "Who cares, it's in the past, I also punished you already."

    Arthit brought up his beer and took another sip, his face showing that he wasn't holding any grudges. His let his eyes wander to the wide ocean, then he heard the person next to him ask something new.

    "Do you remember that I won our bet from when I competed in the Moon contest?"

    The question brought back memories that was almost forgotten, but Arthit was a man of his words. He always kept his words. The loser of the bet nodded his head.

    "Yeah, I remember. You figured out what you want to ask for?"

    "Yes, next Saturday, are you free?"

    "Mmmh, I'm probably free."

    "I want to go buy something, can you go with me?"

    "That's all?"

    "Yes."

    Arthit turned to look at the person who was asking with a raised eyebrow and a confused face... He kept that penalty for 2 months, Arthit thought he was planning something big to embarrass him, but in the end he was only asking for something so simple.

    "Yeah, I can."

    Once he heard the reply Kongpope gave a big smile.

    "Then I want to ask for your phone number, so that I can call and give you the details."

    Arthit looked at him as he pulled out his cellphone from his pocket, he pushed in the 10 digits that was given to him. As this was going on Arthit noticed something else.

    "When are you going to take that thing off?"

    Kongpope looked up from his phone... 'that thing', he followed P'Arthit's eyes to his own left wrist that was holding the phone.

    ... The wrist that had only one white strand tied around it.

    "Why? I think leaving it like this is good, I won't take it off."

    His determination came with a smile, his eyes looking into Arthit's eyes, it was sparkling something, something that Arthit couldn't figure out. But it created such a weird feeling that he had to avoid Kongpope's eyes. Before either of them could continue with their words, another voice from behind them interrupted.

    "Arthit! Ai'Arthit! Where are you? Come here!"

    The members of the hazing team were looking for their leader to return to the table. The person being called got up and dusted off the sand and was about to turn around.

    "I'll get going."

    "Hold on."

    Before he could leave Kongpope stood up and stopped him.

    "I have something to give you."

    "What is it?"

    "Open your hands."

    The person being asked was starting to get annoyed. But in the end he still opened up his free hand, he saw Kongpope pull something out of his pocket and laid it onto his hand. The silver metal shaped like a gear that he had just sent hundreds of first year students to go get.

    ... The gear of their class.

    "Why are you returning it to me?"

    Arthit scolded, his anger was starting to show... he thought they would have a nice talk, but in the end he always found something to make him mad about. Returning the gear for their class like this was a disgrace to someone that was the head of the hazing team.

    But the person being accused quickly gave him a reason.

    "No, I'm just having you take care of it."

    "And why are you having me take care of it?"

    Kongpope didn't answer, instead he showed a surprised face.

    "Ah... you don't know? I thought you would already know what this meant. Then why don't you go ask P'Dear what it means."

    That statement didn't give him any answers, but it just added to the confusion... what was the meaning of the gear? And why did he have to go ask P'Dear? He was the head of the hazing team, he knew how important the gear was.

    Arthit was about to open his mouth to yell at the person that was acting like he was holding back, but the noise from his friends came again.

    "Hey! Ai'Arthit we've already set the table, hurry up!"

    Arthit eyed Kongpope, who wouldn't say anything else. He moved aside for Arthit to return to the table easily. He decided to accept the gear and shoved it into his pants pocket. He returned to the table to join his seniors.

    And lucky enough, one of the senior was someone that held the answer to the mystery.

    "P'Dear, what does our class gear mean?"

    The fourth year senior looked at the current head of the hazing team with a confused look before walking over to sit next to him.

    "Why are you asking something weird like that? Are you drunk?... The gear represents our unity, and it's important to us engineer students, because it was hard to obtain."

    The more he heard the answer the more annoyed he got... see? Ai'Kongpope, what other meaning could there be? Ai'0062, he probably just wanted to mess with him. It was a waste of time to talk to him nicely.

    Arthit brought up the beer and took a big chug to calm his anger. P'Dear continued to add as if he had just remembered the rest of it.

    "Yeah... it's because of it's importance that it is considered to be the engineering student's heart. To the point where they say 'the gear is within the heart... the heart is within the gear... if we give our gear to someone... that means we're giving them our heart."

    ... The beer almost shot out of his mouth, Arthit started coughing. P'Dear started to help by hitting his shoulder.

    "Drink it slow, you're coughing so hard that your face is red. Are you really drunk off of just one can of beer?"

    P'Dear asked with a laugh. But Arthit couldn't laugh along, instead he nodded in acceptance without a fight.

     "Yes, I'm drunk."

    ... Yes... it's because he is drunk that's why his heart is shaking like that. And his face started to burn up too. But his drunkenness wasn't because of the alcohol, nor was it because of the wind, sky, or ocean, but it was from that gear.

    ... The gear he had accepted from someone.

 

 

 

 

Thank you for subbing episode 8. Also, thank you for the little spoilers. I hope you are still want to translate the novel. I'd read every chapter. Thank you so much for everything that you do. I'm really loving this series.

@taehyungs you feel me? I feel you now let's mourn together.....

Krist is 21, Singto is a year older.

they are 6/7 years older than me omg

[Jin_mi]

I have one simple complain for GMM. Why do your night or dark scenes have such bad lighting? Seriously, dramas with less budget have better lighting than you...I can't even get my beloved high contrast in dark scenes. Still since this scene is my absolute favorite I couldn't not make these gifs *sigh*

UGH!!! P'Arthit...you are just making yourself more adorable in eyes of kongphob!!

 

Now comparing this to MIR's dark/night scenes...the lighting is so perfect!!! And they probably had a lower budget than Sotus. What are you doing GMM?

Oh! you can call me grandma. Now I need to censor myself before I write anything naughty here.

Anyways, I only want Krist to love his P'Singto until the drama ends. I hate myself, but it's too painful. (the second phase of my disease, refusal to accept anything outside of my perverted fantasy.)

thanks for the sneak preview/translation!! so going off of this - is that what the scene was when Kongpope was getting his notes after midnight and saw the hazing team getting hazed? I've been curious if there was more in the novel detailing what exactly what going on there...

But from the picture we can see SOTUS shoots outside in open space while MIR inside the room so eventhough SOTUS have more lightning budget the result always more dark than MIR. Beside if night at beach too bright it'll be weird.

Sotus is no better with inside dark scenes...the one with them in bed together and the one where Kong says 'you are cute' the first time...they were inside but lighting is just as bad if not worse. And the gifs look that much brighter in the spoiler because of the effects. Like https://youtu.be/wf6kLHj8yas?t=31m47s -- the scene wasn't initially that bright; I lightened them but if you try that with Sotus, the gif quality goes down hill. I am not well versed with shooting stuff so I don't know if it's the lighting error or just quality of the film. Basically, I don't know much other than dark scenes from sotus can never be made into really sharp HQ gifs...at least by me T.T (-everdeen on tumblr could probably do it but she deleted her tumblr T.T...damn people disappearing on my richard simmons.)

And honestly even lovesick ss1 had better lighting. I don't have gifs from that because I deleted my tumblr from those days. I have been making gifs for like 5 years now and I have worked with the worst of lighting and the darkest of places...I am just surprised GMM is so bad especially with the budget that I guess they have.

@jaelephy I like the way the series goes now. I watched them in so many app (LINE, YouTube, Dailymotion) with different devices (TV, iMac, Acer Monitor, MacBook, iPad, iPhone) They do have different qualities. Some screen is too dark and I have to bright it up. But still, I do like the tone of the series very much. More romantic 

 

I have no complaints when I watch it. I agree it feels very romantic...It's just a pain in the richard simmons for us gif makers.

Maybe they want to create "real effect" or the production team not really good (new to this job) but end up like you said the quality goes down we don't know for sure. Also maybe for them SOTUS not some big project so they more focusing in long series like U Prince or making season 2 for another series or they have too many series to make so they lose focus and lacking attention.

Lmao I don't mind too much. there aren't a lot of dark scene in the series. Mostly are out in the daylight so no worries!!

Sorry for boring you all with my useless rant~

nah...not really keen. I just spent 2 hours trying to make that gifset before giving up and settling on an effect I did in the first 20 minutes. I just felt like an idiot lol and it kind of came out.

Sotus is no better with inside dark scenes...the one with them in bed together and the one where Kong says 'you are cute' the first time...they were inside but lighting is just as bad if not worse. And the gifs look that much brighter in the spoiler because of the effects. Like https://youtu.be/wf6kLHj8yas?t=31m47s -- the scene wasn't initially that bright; I lightened them but if you try that with Sotus, the gif quality goes down hill. I am not well versed with shooting stuff so I don't know if it's the lighting error or just quality of the film. Basically, I don't know much other than dark scenes from sotus can never be made into really sharp HQ gifs...at least by me T.T (-everdeen on tumblr could probably do it but she deleted her tumblr T.T...damn people disappearing on my richard simmons.)

And honestly even lovesick ss1 had better lighting. I don't have gifs from that because I deleted my tumblr from those days. I have been making gifs for like 5 years now and I have worked with the worst of lighting and the darkest of places...I am just surprised GMM is so bad especially with the budget that I guess they have.

I know what you mean. I see that too, SOTUS's quality looks very raw (unedited) compared to LS or MIR. The only 'good' quality shoot they did at night was of Aim wiping off the paint from May's face. Go check and see if I'm right.. I can't do it myself right now. LOL! But yeah, SOTUS doesn't use a lot of lighting, they do however use a lot of 'Christmas lighting strands' in the background, or they choose locations that are like that... The parking lot scene of the grilled pork place, and even on the beach. And there's more if I'm not mistaken. I mean I'm not surprised as SOTUS is made by a different director than MIR or LS, they're different companies actually. So their shooting/lighting styles are different. But yeah, I totally get what you mean. SOTUS is funded by GMM TV, if we compare the quality to Puppy Honey or any of the Secret Love series than the film quality is a lot more raw looking and no special effects were added. Do you use photoshop to make .gifs?

You also diligent. You want to spent a long time for making gifs and share it with us, thank you very much. It's nice to see a post about the production not just the actors. Have new knowledge.

pretty much what you said. I am just surprised is all. tbh most of the scenes not involving the two leads are not bad. Even the one with Nott and Arthit in front of that building after the dinner or the whole segment where Arthit is running at night. It's mostly the scenes between the leads that are bad...idk if it was intentional to give them the raw feeling or some other error...

Yes. I use photoshop...I am old school that way!

lmao thanks but I just am a little ocd about my gifs...but I was wondering if others noticed it too.

So... I did a quick comparison between SOTUS and a Club Friday Story... the special effect added on the CFS is very evident compared to SOTUS. The contrast is higher and overall it just looks a lot more professional. In the CFS scene that room is supposed to have only that table lamp lighting, but the staff still did a good job with lighting the scene. heheheheheee..

Yes... I need to put it under a tag... don't click if you are afraid of seeing the 'difference'. *nosebleed*

[Jin_mi]

Because @delightful mentioned uprince...I think this is a perfect comparison. This scene is on the rooftop with fairy lights as the main source of lightening...

Feel the difference when you compare it to Sotus?

I know it's not the beach but lightening isn't hard to set up anywhere unless we are talking mountain tops!

Ugh!!! Why did I delete my lovesick tumblr??? Their beach scenes were a perfect counterparts.
