The Love Never Sets Episode 5

A Beautiful Mess of Love and Pain

I really liked episode five. It felt like a big improvement from episode four, but there’s still so much sadness between the characters. Ice clearly has feelings for Saint, and Saint feels the same for Ice. When Ice was at his lowest point, Warm was the one who stayed by his side, and that’s why they became boyfriends, but it’s clear Ice doesn’t truly love him. His heart is still with Saint.It’s so ironic that the parents are forcing Saint and Lanee to get married. Saint is bi/gay, Lanee is lesbian, and yet they’re being pushed into something that makes no sense. If this were the 1960s, I could understand it, but this story takes place in 2025, when same-sex marriage is already legal in Thailand. It’s hard to believe their parents still have that much control. They’re both adults, so why are they letting others decide their lives? If money is the reason, I’d rather see them work part-time and build their own freedom than live in a marriage without love.Then there’s Ice messaging Professor Mint, agreeing to meet him at the hotel. I can’t shake the feeling that it’s a setup, maybe Ice plans to record everything and expose him later. But Saint is worried, and if he goes to the hotel, he might ruin everything.Episode five left me feeling heartbroken and tense. Everyone’s trying to do what’s right, but in the end, no one seems truly happy.
