Idk guys I feel like its not messy enough. It's just everything here can be solved with THERAPY
None of the conflicts the show has introduced seem to be hard to resolve? It seems so shallow and simple, like there are no actual boundaries being crossed (I mean you have arnold and tua, but ykwim??) the stakes are so LOW, that for me it translates into kabobohan (stupidity) than actual moral corruption
Yes, the stakes are higher than if you watched a show like Me and Thee which is mainly filled with green flag characters and takes on romance and courtship, but like for the run time, the conflicts that they are introducing are not compelling enough.
Just finished Spare Me Your Mercy (same author of novel also adapted to a series) and tbh I liked it better but this is also great, a classic! Maybe youād like that one too?
I meanā¦ thereās 12 episodes for this, so I really doubt that theyād be unable to resolve this decently if the reveal comes in episode 7. So episode 7 revealā angst between episode 8-10, and then 11 and 12 can be the road to resolutionā¦ BAH could be better, but not necessarily unsalvageable
I donāt think I can continue watching for now HAHAHHAA like donāt get me wrong itās really good!!! Itās just that I canāt help but root for Tim and Pai and I KNOOOOW thereās going to be so much angst between them so Iād rather watch this in one go instead of suffering the future break up arc while waiting for 7 days for the conclusion ššššššš
Ok the show definitely found its footing for me in episode 2. I was kind of apprehensive coming from episode 1 because I didnāt really feel hooked? The acting wasnāt really doing it for me in ep 1 and the sequence was kinda clunky BUT HERE I am seated. Idk I really liked this ep I was smiling the entire time:) itās just episode 2 and Tiger + Lynx are already coparenting š
I feel his love but don't at the same time. I am torn..I feel like when people are with someone they should show…
In episode 7, when Plub and Peach talk about feelings and logic in love-- initially on the surface level, you would applaud Peach for standing his ground and prioritizing his business meeting with his ex, and maybe you'd be confused as to why he would then cancel and then give in to Thee-- is he being a push over?
I myself was confused until I thought about it a bit more.
Peach is someone who grew up too fast, and so he really views his job and responsibilities as things that keep him alive and stable, so he's not able to let them go easily, they're ingrained into his survival mechanism, so it's beyond being responsible. He has to be strong-- and he is strong. This is part of the reason why his exes broke up with him- he was so busy surviving and making sure that he never falters so that he could give himself and Plub a good life.
When Plub tells him to focus a bit more on his feelings when it comes to love, and to choose to prioritize what he would regret more . This time, by cancelling that business meeting, Peach chooses himself over the responsibilities that have been weighing on him since childhood. For once, he lets himself have a good date with his boyfriend, and let himself indulge that new, budding relationship he has with Thee.
Thee has changed a lot in comparison to Peach, but Peach himself has changed as well, albeit in a much more subtle way. He accepts Thee's cheesy lines, dropping borderline cheesy lines himself, and whenever Thee is worried about him, he makes him do a simple task that will surely calm him down lmao-- like when his face was bruised by Tawan punching him. Peach is strong, and this doesn't change, but he's starting to learn to share his burdens with others, as well as put himself first when needed. The main point is-- he meets Thee where he is, and isn't that the ultimate expression of love?
Though I initially disliked the episode because I thought it took away from the main plot
(I mean it still lowk does but Iāve accepted that in MMP, ThapIn is the real plot and the whole murder thing is just extra garnish to the dish)
I really do appreciate how they address a lot of interpersonal issues in this epā like In not knowing where he fits in Thapās life now that theyāre not in Mae Hong Son, Wan and Thap having a honest conversation + closure, and Tul being a genuinely good friend to In despite his feelings being unrequited
Iām literally obsessed with drunk In. Heās the cutest! Ugh theyāre now official boyfriends they better get married in episode 10 or Iām rioting!
Wala feeling ko lang that this episode was so unecessary LMAO like hey I like the ThapIn stuff but like GET OUT WANNNNN also instead of having this ex plot point could they not FOCUS ON THE INVESTIGATION pls pls pls investigaaaaaaate
I disliked Bahmee from the start because she was basically suffocating Tae with how clingy she was as a girlfriend, and how she didn't seem to have a life outside of their relationship. It would have been nice if the show had delved more into her psyche and shown how maybe she was a lesbian who was affected by comphet, or maybe a bisexual awakening after working with her boss. I liked how she gradually found her voice and had a life outside her relationship with Tae but it really should not have been portrayed like this.
Look, bisexual people exist, so I'm not blaming Bahmee for liking both Judy and Tae what I'm blaming her for is BEING A CHEATER. I'm not mad that she ends up with Tae because awww noo we queerbaited the lesbians NO what I'm mad about is that she CHEATED. Yes she was dissatisfied with her relationship with Tae- that doesn't mean she should cheat! Talk to him GIRL. I could not in good conscience support Judy and Bahmee because they were a relationship that was the product of cheating, and I'm pissed off at Tae because he basically shouldered all the blame for his girlfriend cheating on him- STAND UP MAN.
Regardless of who she ended up with, she cheated, and she should have been held accountable. As a bisexual myself, I'm really sad that this show perpetuates stereotypes that continue to haunt bisexual people-- how we are probably confused, or how we're just straight and experimenting, or how being bisexual automatically makes you more likely to cheat.
If I was to rewrite her arc, I would have greatly emphasized on her breaking the cycle of compulsory heterosexuality (whether lesbian or bisexual) and how she was able to reclaim her own agency and become a professional with her individual ambitions and goals. If she and Tae stayed together, I would have emphasized how they eventually communicated as they both grew together as a couple. If it was Judy and Bahmee who ended up together, I would have had Bahmee break up with Tae first because she realized the relationship wasn't working for her or smth.
