Wasin said he would truly accept her as another daughter, and Khem cried copiously with emotion upon hearing this;

⇨ Everyone in the house always showed affection for the twins openly and frequently. They showed affection in front of the children as well, so that they would grow up knowing they grew up in a home full of love;

⇨ Rin felt very lucky to have found Khem that day when she was about to leave the country;

⇨ On the date they celebrated Rin and Khem's first marriage, the one that was by contract, they called it the anniversary of "something," because they didn't know exactly what to call it, but they still wanted to celebrate that day;

⇨ The twins had been asking for pets for some time;

⇨ When Khem asked Rin if she wanted to have another child, she wasn't serious, Khem was just joking;

⇨ Over time, Rin began to "do her homework" more frequently, reminding Khem that she was also Rin's wife at certain times;

⇨ Rin never thought of Phraphai again: "Losing her wasn't even registered in her memory - she simply didn't care";

⇨ Khem wished her parents had lived to see the happiness she was experiencing, but she was certain they could see her from heaven now;

one thing i didn't like about the series is how 'useless' khem sometimes felt when it came to the little koalas.

I understand what you mean. I like seeing Khem being "cute" as she always has been, without losing her personality, but I wish they would make it clear that she's a responsible mother as well as being fun. 😶

My brother, for example, is 30 years old and has a baby. He does everything, from feeding and changing diapers to taking her to the doctor and putting her to sleep; he's super responsible.😂But when he plays with her, he seems more like a child than my niece. And he acts just as silly with my sister-in-law as Khem acts silly with Rin. They could make it more evident how much Khem also takes care of her children, right?🙃

But without a doubt, this was the best special episode of a GL drama I've ever seen. Maybe it's the best special episode of all the Asian dramas I've ever seen. 😍🥰

i love khem’s personality; her cute, playful nature is one of my favorite things about her. the scene where she goes to call the kids to play, gets ‘ignored’, and then goes sulk to rin is still my favorite. but in the series, they really toned down her maternal side. that office scene where khem goes to change the babies and starts gesturing like she doesn’t even know how to hold her own babies honestly left me feeling a bit disappointed.

also, one thing i equally disliked in both versions was the choice to have them doing their ‘homework’ to happen in the same room as the babies. 😵‍💫

I also didn't really like those two details. Mainly because, in the novel, Khem changed all the diapers. And although some people think it's normal for a 5-month-old baby to be in the same room as the parents during the couple's intimacy, I personally don't think it's right. It seems kind of wrong, even if the child doesn't see anything, I don't know. 😐

I don't know what my favorite scene from the Special would be, whether it's Rin's marriage proposal, the last scene at sunset, or Rin watching Khem play with the children and crying... Anyway, I really, really liked those scenes that made it very clear how much Rin loves Khem, I almost cried. 🥰 ❤❤
