Love Design EP7 - TIER MEMBER SPECIAL

This is my comfort show and I absolutely love that it doesn’t have crazy drama, an evil grandmother, homophobic family members, an obnoxious man who can’t take no for an answer, and we didn’t have one of them end up in the hospital. I love a good rom com and P’Kao and P’Jane brought their characters to life and I absolutely loved it.

Again, one of the best series that came out in 2025. I really couldn't find one flaw with it (maybe because it gave me everything I need/want from a series with veteran actresses.......also because I love a good rom-com).

The episode stars after the love scene with a naked Aokbab thinking back at what happened – until Rin wraps her from behind the into a blanket. Rin asks what they are, Aokbab says they are simply dating. Rin is happy with that – but what if anyone finds out? Let them, claims Aokbab – it doesn’t matter to them, only that they love each other. The next day, they’re coming together to work and Rin fixes Aokbab clothes while they are outside, which gets noticed inside. They are holding hands walking inside but no one dares to ask the about it. Aokbab announces a company meeting in five minutes. At the meeting, she announces that Jinta will pitch for the big hotel project of Mr. Parat. She is convinced that they will make a comeback with this and beat – among others – Mind Space this time fair and square. Then, Yong asks about the mole situation, but Pad thinks they don’t have one, and Chan agrees, they have all worked together so hard for so long, and he trusts the team. Tertis is at Mind Space because she is getting paid by Thee – even though she didn’t spy for him; she should consider this an advance payment for helping him spy on Jinta. He expects her make good on the next project; if she does, he will double her pay, and reminds her that this is all for the house Vee and she want to buy. She finally takes the envelope, asking him who was it who gave him the Jinta designs, but Thee just mentions it something she doesn’t need to know. Aokbab want to know if her brother really think that it wasn’t anyone from the team who betrayed them, and Pad admits he’s not sure, but wanted to avoid the team getting suspicious and start finger-pointing, that would make working together almost impossible, and they clearly have suspicions but can’t say for sure yet, and want to wait for confirmation. For now, she should focus on the hotel project and leaving the mole situation to them – they have a plan. At the project meeting Aokbab and Rin meet Thee and Mind. He didn’t expect them to join this pitch, but Aokbab promise him that he’ll be seeing them a lot more. He hopes this project will be another fun competition for them, and Aokbab is sure of it and add that this time there won’t be any shady tricks. Then Rin and Aokbab walk into the meeting hand in hand, leaving Thee and a pensive Mind. In the meeting all the pitching companies learn about the project which is a new branch of the Eraside hotel; Mr. Parat want it to be modern, stylish and one of a kind, but most of all, he wants it to be a hotel of the future. After the meeting, Rin and Aokbab talk about ideas which they don’t have yet; the Aokbab want to know why Rin is staring at her, and Rin states she’s just admiring her beautiful girlfriend. Rin and Aokbab to de-stress after seeing “that old hag” again, and Aokbab claims that if she’s going to stress over something, it’s the mole situation. Meanwhile, Tertis and Vee sit in a fancy restaurant, and Vee wants to know what prompted her to choose this rather expensive establishment. She wants to treat her girlfriend to a nice meal, and can afford it; actually, she want to get rid of that money. Vee is confused, and Tertis explains the Mind Space copied Jinta’s project for Rain and Ming, Vee wonders why she doesn’t know anything about this and want to know how she found out – it was Vee’s picture she sent during the pitching, Tertis explains. And how does she know for sure? Tertis admits that Thee paid her to take Jinta’s data and give it to Mind Space – but she didn’t do it. Then, Pad and Chan reveal they’ve been listening in all along. There ends that scene… … and we switch back to the company where Yong is giving out the project details to his colleagues; but the atmosphere is filled to the brim with doubts – and other employees are suspected to me the mole as well. Finally, Pad calls the out: everyone believes someone to be the mole. Chan points out that everyone was working hard on the last projects, and who of them would betray them. Another unfinished scene as we … …. move over to Prim’s café when Rin, Rad, Chan and Aokbab are waiting why they are here, but they’re still not complete, because Tertis and Vee are also attending. Aokbab want to know if they are dating, and Vee confirm that they have been together for a year. Rin want to know if they stole the design, but Chan denies it, and Pad explains that Thee hired Tertis to spy for Mind Space – but they knew that since the very beginning because Tertis started to act strange, and she pretty much folded right then admitting she got an offer by Thee to spy for him – but she would never take that offer. Then, the brother told her to take that offer – but report everything back to them. But Thee planted another mole at Jinta, for which they are still getting evidence, and will catch the mole red-handed. Aokbab sends everyone home for the day; later that night, someone is taking Rin’s hard drive and making snapshots of the document displayed on the whiteboards. Then, suddenly the light go on, and the cleaning lady looks into the faces of some angry employees. She admit to having received money from Thee for spying on them, and sending him the data. The cleaning lady pleads with them not to get reported, and Pad presents a plan: give Thee the data without telling she got caught. Thee is happy to get the Jinta plans for the Eraside and forwards them to Mind for completing them. Mind is suspicious that the designs come from Jinta again but Thee tells her to just use them. Aokbab and Rin present their new designs for the Eraside, the team wants to know whether the first draft is completely scrapped but Aokbab says they will use it to bait Mind Space. Everyone works their hardest on the project, with Aokbab even almost falling asleep as she wanted to clean her face, Rin helps her with that. Then, the design is finished and Aokbab call it a day early again, but one of the colleagues has one important question to ask: what is the status of her and Rin? And Aokbab holds true to her promise and confirms that they’re dating. Tertis won a bet and wants to collect, but the colleague asks Rin for confirmation, and she freely admits that she is dating Aokbab. Before the matter is resolved, Rin and Aokbab leave the office. But outside, Mind is waiting and wants to talks to Aokbab, asking her if she doesn’t want to know why she took her designs ten years ago. She offers to tell her everything; Rin claims that it’s net necessary, but Aokbab want to know, so she leaves Rin alone and goes with Mind. First, Aokbab wants to know what happened during the last pitching, and Mind claims that she was clueless about the design being from Jinta as Thee handled everything himself, and she’s truly sorry. Then, Mind explains she was a mistress’s daughter and never loved by her father, but when he got sick she was the one who had to take care of him. She had to study, work and take care of him all at once, and she wanted to prove that she could do it all, hoping that he’d finally accept her. So, when the competition arrived, she knew she had to take it, but he got sicker in the middle of working for it. When Aokbab gave her the design it was more beautiful than everything she could ever made on her own, and at that moment it seemed like her last chance, so she did something unforgiveable. She knows that she has no excuse, and her reasons couldn’t justify her betrayal, she was selfish, and she is sorry. Aokbab want to know why she didn’t tell her ten years ago, but Mind was scared to face her. Aokbab claims that if she had told her back then, she wouldn’t have hated her this much, she might have even given her that design herself. Mind asks her if she would still love her had she acted differently. Meanwhile, Rin sits with Prim and her friend Jade at the café and is drowning her sorrows in alcohol. She blames Mind for acting all pitiful to get Aokbab back, and calling Aokbab too soft-hearted – but Prim tells her not to overthink it, and Jada thinks she should trust Aokbab, and she admits she’s jealous. Aokbab tells Mind that it’s not love anymore between them, and uses the opportunity to finally officially break up with her, because she doesn’t love her anymore. And as far as it concerns Mr. Parat’s project is concerned, they should compete fair and square this time; she want to see the Mind, whom she once admired again. Then, she leaves before Mind can say another word… … and goes straight back to Rin who has fallen asleep at Prim’s café. She calls her her sleepy girlfriend and tells her to wake up. Rin wants to know what took her so long, as she’s been waiting forever. She claims she got a little stuck in Bangkok traffic, but Rin says it’s her that is stuck – on Aokbab. Aokbab isn’t sure what the future hold, but feels confident with Rin at her side; and Rin promises that from now on, she never has to walk alone again. Then, Aokbab leans in, and tells her to go home together. The next day, it’s pitching day again, and this time they’re competing against ten other companies. Pad and Chan are nervous. Rin and Aokbab and Then and Mind sit next to each other, and Mind claims that this time, they can compete for real, but Rin has the last word, claiming that she has to compete with her as well. And the episode ends right there. ___ This was a rather short episode, and the reveal of the spy at Jinta was overly complicated for me, at least two of the meetings they had actually had no value and could be skipped altogether. But as this was the shortest episode of the all, they left those scenes in. More important was the final conversation between Aokbab and Mind; it was, as all exchanges involving Mind, too long, but in the end, she risked and sacrificed their relationship for academic success, just that it was a more stressful time than expected. But the choice that destroyed the love was hers and it was good that Aokbab wasn’t conflicted or had doubts about it; that relationship died ten years ago. Now, everything is set for the finale: I expect Jinta to win this pitch, Thee to go down as a cheater, and Mind gaining control of the company that carries her name. Everything else, like more permanent statuses for Tertis/Vee and Rin/Aokbab would be a bonus, but is not necessary.

Ah.. finally.. much needed closure after 10 years.. btw, can u feel the whole series is leaning more towards aokbab? The entire storylines gravitate around her life.. even the ex background story more developed.. This is the only shortcoming from this series for me.. better look deeper into rin's life than mind.. i want to know about her's too.. 😭 Also yes.. u can watch mad unicorn for jane's best acting performance.. will not disappoint..

I'm sad we're really close to the end. This series has been the best GL series for me. It didn't have drama, family issues, or whatever else like other GLs; it only felt good and heartwarming. I love it so much. KaoJane will have another series together. They already said they're still picking what kind of roles they want to play and waiting for Jane to finish the project she's filming right now. I guess they will announce it around mid-year.

Loved it! ❤️ But it’s not over it’s a total of 10 episodes Two of them are special episodes
