the post breakup cheap things he did, he could have done sooner if he was going to be this ordinary...really one never learns until they get a final blow. Standing high people forget the fall is equally lethal.
currently I am in state of stress and anxiety…and I am not enjoying anything… but this series even though…
i dont know if what I wrote you guys can relate but the state I am in and the way thia series is I am pushed to more sadnesses but it is giving me strange warnth.
currently I am in state of stress and anxiety…and I am not enjoying anything… but this series even though not goving me the vibes i need as I consume such work if life is okay, but let me tell you it is one of those series where you shut your door, turn off lights either sit alone or with your loved one and watch it on projector, laptop or on something big but quietly and sharply…as even though I am not in quiet phase of my life this has managed to seep under my skin. this is nothing exceptional but it is made with so much love and beautiful and simple dialogues with superb acting, that it is giving me tears beacuse It is pinching my pain, and I find this beautiful.
I am going to be auper dissatisfied with the remainder of series as first the epaiodes were cut, second their breakup and then immediate reconciliation with ML growth 0, and FL giving in so easily. No one can learn from a breakup, specially if it is a habit. Even if they do the episode aren’t enough to make me believe that.
I don’t know if the ending was always supposed to be like this or if they had to cut the series short, but this is one of those shows that genuinely needed more episodes. Having the breakup and reconciliation only one episode apart makes the whole emotional arc feel rushed. The ML’s growth, especially, is almost impossible to believe at this pace. Breakups don’t magically teach people lessons, self-reflection, self-awareness, accountability, and actual behavioral change do. And all of that takes time.
I needed to see him sit with the consequences of his actions, understand exactly what he did wrong, recognize the parts of himself that caused the relationship to fall apart, and then consciously work on changing them. Instead, it feels like the story wants the breakup itself to function as character development. You can’t spend an entire series establishing someone’s deeply rooted flaws and then resolve them within the emotional equivalent of five minutes just because he suddenly realizes he might lose the person he loves.
The reconciliation could have been incredibly satisfying if we had actually watched him earn it. Right now, I understand where the story wants him to end up; I just don’t completely believe the journey that got him there.
I’ve put myself in the FL’s place countless times, and I keep coming to the same conclusion: sometimes, the person you hide things from the most is the person you love the most. Not because you don’t trust them, but because you’re terrified of disappointing them, of having them look at you differently, or of becoming someone they feel they have to carry. You want to walk beside them—not ahead, not behind, but as an equal. And equality has nothing to do with having identical strengths or capabilities; those differ from person to person regardless of gender. Equality is about how two people see, value, and respect each other.
The ML, meanwhile, spews words that sometimes aren’t even worth replying to. If I were in her place, I think I’d just sigh at half of his accusations and assumptions. After being exclusively involved with someone for four (which will be six before breakup) years, whatever complicated “situationship” label they want to put on it, I shouldn’t have to constantly explain my dignity to that person. If aftersix years he still hasn’t learned to respect the woman he claims to love, another explanation from her isn’t going to magically teach him.
That’s what frustrates me most about him. He gets hurt, lashes out, throws the sharpest words he can find, calls her names, makes accusations, and then, once the damage is done, apologizes. And then the circle repeats. At some point, an apology without changed behavior stops being accountability and simply becomes another stage of the same pattern.
I understand that many of his actions come from insecurity, fear, jealousy, and even genuine concern. But good intentions expressed through cruel words and harmful behavior can hurt just as much as bad intentions hidden behind good behavior. Intention may explain why someone behaves a certain way; it does not erase the impact of that behavior.
And love cannot indefinitely become the excuse for disrespect. If he truly wants to stand beside her, then he has to learn that loving someone is not just wanting to protect them, worrying about them, or being afraid of losing them. Sometimes love is simply trusting that the person beside you is an adult with their own choices, failures, strengths, and dignity, and respecting them even when you don’t understand those choices.
That is so not true! What value do sweet words and polite bearing have when the actions say otherwise?!? What…
first of all he is not her dad or teacher to lecture in her everything. she doesn’t need anyone to do somehting for her, if someone does she is not obliged to servitude a thank is enough. she is capable enough to make her own decisions on her own account even if they are wrong it gives her room to grow. ML perspects of world is different than FL, yes in a relationship we make room for eachother this is not an issue but ML is nit a reason of her happiness and she is not a reason of his happiness, so valuing your ownself should remain above. like I said somedays ago in ky previous comment that no amount of love or other relationship can hold if there is not kindness and consideration and respect.
there was another series where ML (miles) treated FL very bad, then he became a lap dog in front of her, and she just wouldn't bug, no matter how much he begs for forgiveness before eventually giving in but he had to taste the bitterness of his own medicine...I hope here as well, she continue with her little revenge before accepting his apology as "all can do" shit-head ML is enough and they need to learn their manners.
never sleep on this series…this has one of the best written back story…it was so perfectly matched to what was happening in present that present storyline fell and felt like two different dircetor made it. But my god the acting of barcode and what they did to him, it was so maturally evil that one cant tell apart if that was all planned usually in Thai seties everything feels mediocre…most of the time if not all, and this backstory was different, they were all evil and paid for it…
these fucking CEOs and their dogshit personalities and then they claim they did that for the better of Fl…well fuck you and your weak macho personalities…idk but Miles is forever stuck in ceo roles.
the fact that JBR worn his own infamous wardrobe no wonder his suits were oustanding, the oversized fit suits, shirts, jeans were spot on and his fav Channel brand and jacket…could be seen easily. He is just different than many actors, even his face structure and everything and he chooses his projects carefully.
The problem I have with the ML isn’t even primarily that he is a walking red flag. I dislike him on a more fundamental level: as the person he is right now, he is not fit to build a healthy relationship with anyone unless he is willing to change. And change is not some punishment imposed on him by love; change is necessary for survival. A person who refuses to grow eventually becomes trapped inside the very personality that once protected him.
That is what I find so interesting about him. He has survived by turning his shortcomings into bravado. He knows, somewhere underneath all that pride, that he is not necessarily the most capable, qualified, or secure person in the room. So he compensates. He speaks louder, challenges people first, acts shamelessly confident and performs superiority until other people begin to believe it, or at least hesitate to question it. There is a kind of talent in that. His audacity itself has become one of his abilities.
But when you live inside a performance long enough, it stops being something you do and becomes the environment you cannot escape.
Whatever environment you keep yourself in, you gradually become comfortable with it. And comfort is not always peace. Sometimes it simply means you have adjusted so completely to something unhealthy that you can no longer recognize how far it is from reality. That is where I think he is now. He has spent so long protecting his pride, competing, winning, and maintaining the image of being untouchable that he no longer knows how to exist without that image.
And being Number One is not necessarily happiness. Sometimes being Number One simply means you are the most exhausted person in the room, standing somewhere nobody else can reach you. You spend so much energy protecting your position that eventually there is no room left for intimacy, honesty, failure, or even rest. What looks like success from the outside can become a very private kind of misery.
This is also why his relationship with the FL interests me. She appears more vulnerable than him, but I increasingly think she is emotionally stronger. She allows herself to feel humiliation, disappointment, insecurity and pain. She can be wounded without immediately needing to prove that she is above the person who wounded her. He cannot. His vulnerability has to be converted into pride, aggression, competition, indifference, or control before anyone gets a chance to see it.
She exposes her wounds; he disguises his.
And that creates the contradiction between them. He may appear to have more power, more confidence and more control, but she possesses something he lacks: the ability to confront an uncomfortable reality about herself without completely collapsing. Her vulnerability leaves room for growth. His pride leaves almost none.
That is why, for me, the real question of their relationship is not simply whether she should forgive him or whether he “deserves” her. It is whether he can learn to stop performing long enough to actually meet her as an equal. Love cannot work if one person is constantly defending an imaginary throne. He has to become comfortable with not winning, not knowing, not being admired, and sometimes simply being wrong.
Because perhaps the greatest weakness in him is not that he fails. It is that he is terrified of being seen failing.
And perhaps the FL’s greatest strength is not that she never breaks. It is that she can let someone see that she has broken and still find the courage to put herself back together.

I have no room for people with bad tongue, no matter how good they are with actions.
Actions means nothing, actions looses their meaning, if your tongue and behaviour is outright bad!
