My thoughts while watching 4E:FIRE Ep 6 *

Most Grateful Moment - Thank you, Northstar Entertainment! Everything about FIRE is unfolding to show that you did save the best for last.... Not to take away from everything kind and calm and sweet from EARTH, WATER, and AIR, but to put together three stories about commitment and sincerity and noble intentions, and cap it off with with the story about lifelong debt of honor, Northstar produced one of the best 🇹🇭 lakorn ever made, regardless of genre. FOUR ELEMENTS is not just GL, it is everything good and beautiful and engaging and noteworthy about human long-form entertainment. Huwatta clapback on AI-generated faux-art and insidious vertical noise!*

Sweetest Moments - Fai and Phrao trapped in the cave. Every time Fai smiles, it's like honey and caramel pouring onto the scenes! Someone bottle that captivating Namneung Milin Watinthanakit smile and give stevia a run for the money!*

Funniest Moment - Aunt Panee's hair in her rain-soaked dramatic highlight. I'm amazed that all the other actors and the crew were able to keep their composure! Coz I totally lost it - a truly pee-in-my-pants hardcore laughter incident - when the camera closed in on Panee and her melting inverted cereal bowl hair! Haha haha haha haha Northstar, do share if this scene has some hilaaaaaarious BTS footage!

* Best "This Is So Fai" Moment - "You can go now if you're done here", that line and THAT LOOK that Fai gave Nod - Pure fiery alpha energy that only this youngest W cousin possesses. Rose married into a world of kindness, Chonlada wed into a sea of peace and calm, Blew married into a breath of sweet, fresh air. But Kaphrao, you're in for a high-octane ride, girl!

* Most Iconic SE Asian Drama Moment - You'd almost never see it in Japanese or K-drama, but it's always present in a Thai or Pinoy tele-serye: That "let's make such a ruckus in public, then let's get angry when the whole town talks about our dirty linen" scene! Panee letting out all her anger and frustration while she was at the fish market, making everyone else around her explode, that was unadulterated southeast Asian angstsy rage-bait!

* Most Competitive Roles of the Season: It's a contest like no other battle for notoriety that we've seen before - Who's going to win the competition for the most vile, horrible, detestable, reprehensible, incorrigible, ultimate evil hag of all? Is it that irredeemable monster-in-law in IN LOVE FOREVER? Or is it this disgraceful witch-aunt in FOUR ELEMENTS:FIRE? Choose your beeyatch....
