okay, well i agree that the rape part is a big no and is one of the most stereoptypical bl scenes written by fem authors that should really be fixed up (along with tine's character in the novel that apparently keeps crying and acting like a typical uke with sarawat despite having a rep of flirting with girls before he came),
BUT, you have to remember my main point in here is Sarawat's character. not the novel, not the terribly written scene for this episode, not the cliche scenes. First of all he's a freshman that's around 18. around my same age, meaning he's pretty young too. So just because you didnt go through the same thing or had a rougher experience doesnt give you the right to say sarawat was written unrealistically. because for some people, they do feel him. sarawat does have a hint of unrealisticness, due to whatever is happening to him is to good to be real (i.e turning a straight guy you've been pining into your lover) but why look into it too negatively? its rom com, a light hearted show. for those who relate to sarawat could have those "what if" scenarios if they had pursue their crush or had a little bit of hope. if you can see, sarawat literally pulled (some of) the strings together. if lets say, sarawat was written into you're point of view. do you really think this series would have happened in the first place?

lmao and you think i dont know that? hello, i may not be as old as you are, but im certainly not 12 lmao. "Don't be swayed by straight women fantasies" lmao. you do realize your reality isnt the only reality right? If you've gone through that, well sad for you ig? you have to remember people experience these kinds of things differently. It just so happens that Sarawat hits too close to home with my friends have literally been supportive. you cant help but literally have fluttery feelings after each encounter with your crush. we're humans not robots. we're young people experiencing life not people trying to write an adult's lovelife. Like hello? of course we're gonna be hurt because of our fantasies and "what if" scenarios. you dont relate to sarawat? okay fine. but to say its completely unrealistic? lmao. i think you're forgetting tine and sarawat are still college freshmen. they're literally around 18, which is roughly the same age I am. and here you implying im a child if i feel those way?

you're honestly over analyzing this. this is a series based off 2 books of 25 chapters. this has 13 episodes + 1 episode written off the book, so technically its 12 chapters crammed and rewritten into 12 episodes. read the novel instead if you want a bigger depth on sarawat's character.

clearly you have never been in love, or at least to a person of the same gender, cause i deadass relate to how sarawat is acting, it isnt "bipolar" okay? especially if you arent sure that you're crush is into men, like, i always joke around about my crush when im talking about him to my friends, imagining scenarios, literally gay panicking after we just had a 1 sec eye contact etc. but when i passed by my crush, all i literally do is put up a cold front, act pissed around him and flex my jawline just to look "cool" in front of him. the music club request from wat? me inrl would be like "yo pls rig the groups so that i could be with him pls" the ig profile? i'd be putting subtle hints in my bio and maybe even try to parallel his profile picture in a not so obvious, but still out there way.

wait really? now im so confused. bright said he read the novel many times and like,,,,,the novel was way more, uh, lets just say it had a lot of more romantic scenes there was even the infamous sadistic sarawat scene in chapter 21 and bright didnt realize it involved two guys in a relationship?

sadly it is, well at least in the novel. Sarawat just wanted to get Tine out of the stage because Tine was slightly humiliated after what Man and Boss did. But since the director keeps juggling and swapping scenes around (like PoliSci loosing to Engineering even if they won in the novel) who knows? Maybe Tine will say yes because they're in a ton of backlog from the constant chapter jumping. I dont want him to say yes though because I still need to see that Theatre scene where Sarawat asks Tine officially and since that film has a sort of deep meaning to it, it would be a really iconic/romantic scene (in case you're curious, the movie they watched had a sad ending and Tine was bummed since he hated sad endings and enjoyed happy endings in movies so Sarawat decided to ask him to be his bf..i cant remember all the details but it went something like that xD)

It maybe an execution problem. The fainting scene was actually more dramatic in the novel due to the different POVs of certain characters, maybe the series had a hard time trying to make it in an audience POV since that scene heavily relied on Tine/Sarawat's POVs

the even numbered episodes tend to be filler/developing/set up episodes for the upcoming episode. Notice how Episode 3, 5, 7, and now, 9 have all the iconic scenes and the progressive scenes? Those filler episodes are made to flesh out or develop the characters so the series wont seem to rushed. Also judging by what Win said, his favorite episode is the 11th which means something iconic would probably happen there, making episode 10 another filler episode maybe to develop tine's feelings for sarawat. Not saying you should watch it, but it really helps make you see the characters as normal, human beings.

"If he already had a crush on Tine before, why didn't he ever make the first move?" Because he didnt know Tine's name at first. The series actually left out a lot of scenes from the novel. But maybe because they're saving it for the finale episode, so please wait till the series is over before saying Sarawat's feelings for Tine is "random". Remember, they only met in a concert. Also, it has been hinted long ago in the series. When Tine says "I like Girls" to Sarawat, you can see his eyes flinch with it. When Sarawat also said "I'll kiss you till you drop" He said that in a panic because Tine was just staring at him and that was the first time he saw him again since the concert. When Tine emailed him, that was the first time he knew Tine was his name, and, according to the novel (from his POV) he kept repeating Tine's name which is why Man wrote the email reply. The only reason why Sarawat agreed to become Tine's fake boyfriend too was when Tine received a gift from a girl which made Sarawat jealous. Heck even their interactions with Pear, you can see he's jealous. And that's like, what? As early as episode 3. I'd say you're just not paying attention. Try to rewatch the series after the big reveal and you'll notice the little details.
