Yes, and fun fact, I'm not even the sort to have such close friends like these because I was a very private person when I was much younger but yes, I grew up in such environments and sometimes, Thai culture have some similarities that resonates with mine.

Ah, alright then. I like his friends group though. It reminds me of where i come from where everyone is in your business and you are in theirs. If you come from such communities, everyone knows everyone up to the 5th generation 😂. They gather around when something happen to you and they also celebrate with you when you have joyous news. Friends group formed from these kinds of environment can either be too intrusive, too nosy, very caring, shares everything with you and even become like a family to you. It can be any of these. In contrast, everyone minds their business where I currently live. Even a neighbour in a house share would barely say "Hi" to you when you try to great them if you meet in the kitchen.

💯, but hey, you don't need to reassure me. You can find the show boring. It's why I said I won't step on that page anymore, not until the show is over.

I love how Sun is different from many rich, young and handome male leads that I've seen in so many BLs. Most of these leads are always horrible to their love interest. Assholes and jerks who treats their love interest like crap. Here, we have Sun who is young, rich and handsome yet is so kind/nice to Lin. I said to myself "who knew you can be rich and nice too?" BL has almost convinced me otherwise. It's refreshing to see this. Sun is considerate and so nice to Lin. He isn't exerting some useless dominance or toxic alpha male behaviour on Lin. He didnt push Lin to get into bed with him at any point. He could tell Lin wasn't ready and he respected that. When they got together this episode, it was so beautiful I felt attacked and I took it personal. "Ah, that could have been me" but men nowadays don't listen. I really like the show. Although people say it's cringe and boring but then toxic is the new normal. It's realistic to portray toxic relationships and it should also be realistic to produce beautiful ones because just like abusers exist, so do kind/nice/good people with beautiful relationships.
Honestly, in mnay shows, both BLs and hetero, I would pick the second male leads over the main leads anytime anyday but unfortunately, the writers always suddenly turn the good guy into a stalker or make him look creepy so that the MC can then settle for less than he deserves- the bare minimum treatment.

Thanks. Yes, I love this show too. I like how far their relationship has come. I like how patient Mut is and I'm so happy cos Rak is gradually opening up to him. I also like SunsetxVibes a lot. Are you watching that?

Thanks for your response. So, can I jokingly call Rak Mut's master? Judging by their relationship so far and the past 2 eps, him being bought and owned, not allowed to go near Rak's room the past and now, this ep he was allowed to climb into the bed and cuddle?
Hi guys. I have a question. What do you call a relationship dynamics that started out transactional with one of the character "buying" the other with money, says he now owns him and the other character jokes about being bought and owned?
Before I make this comment, I know I'm probably gonna be alone in this comment section with a different sentiment about this show and that's fine because after today, I don't think I will come back to this page again to write any comment. I don't want anything or anyone to ruin my enjoyment of this show.
I love the show and it's the slowburn that I never knew I needed. The lovemaking was beautiful and it made me sad, why, I'm not sure.
Finally, we have a ML who is rich, young and handsome yet can actually treat his love interest well. He is nice and kind to him. I never knew that was possible in BLs with the types of MLs I've seen who are assholes and jerks, each one worse than the last. Who knew you can be rich and nice too? We have gotten so used to toxic relationships of varying degrees, that many MCs has to settle for the bare minimum every single time. Even the second male lead who is a much better person than the ML would usually be made to look creepy/stalkish just to make the MC settle for less than he deserves- an arrogant, rude, disrespectful human who thinks the world revolves around him. But characters like Sun are seen as boring cos they are not exerting some useless dominance or some big toxic alpha male behaviour and they are called simps because people are too used to toxic storylines now. I call that "conditioning ".
Here? Mut is not whitewashed. Why the comment? But then you have my white ass getting sun tanned, just to stick…
It's not about Mut being whitewashed. It is the random colourist comments every now and then..Plus, Mut's colouring here was used to push a point- That he has no money, is poor and lives in the countryside, hence he's like that unlike Rak who is rich and is from the city, hence he's fair skin which is deemed as more beautiful.
I love Great-Grandpa's family except the shady cousin. They're having so much fun with this situation😂.
I don't think you're shallow at all. I remember sworning over a lot of others and happily admitted I have no cure. Lol😂

How did you find this episode? I'm not sure I read your comments yet.
But thanks for your response. I just wanted to know if me calling Rak Mut's master is wrong, since the plot itself basically has that tone to it.

Fiction is much more powerful than we think.
