The fact Thorn's fiance just excepts the fact she's no. 3 is so sad like im sorry nobody should ever have such…
Even if she really is number 3 for him, who says that in a proposal and which fiance proposing goes along with it? That proposal was so cringe with that number 3 conversation. What was it even brought up? Was she being passive aggressive with it or genuinely happy? As I said before... the dialogues this season are beyond cringy and unnatural.
There was comment quite sometime back, where it said someone asked Nadao whether there is more after the 5 episodes…
Agree and hope they don't mess it up because Part 1 ended in such a good and positive note. I don't want college jealousy and break up plots. But I trust Nadao because this series so far hasn't used the usual troupes and cliches. I hope they keep the same standard.
Btw, was part 2 planned from the beginning or set up last minute due to the success? I'm always scared of season 2 of BLs when things ended up on an happy note on season 1. I hope we don't have go through all this stress again or that they don't mess up this relationship on season 2 but I'll trust Nadao on this one because I felt that for once a Thai BL was a true love letter to the lgbtq+.
the first season was a mess, but at least an enjoyable messthis season is just painful to watch...
Season 1 was well directed and edited (I loved TeeSinta's directing) and the dialogues and character felt much more natural and organic. It wasn't perfect but I wouldn't say it was a total mess. Now these 2 episodes from season 2 were a mess that seems totally disjointed from season 1. Let's hope it gets better as it has only been 2 episodes.
I know I'm supposed to find the interactions between Phugun and Cir cute but I just can't, it's so cringey
I think it was awkward and cringy because they infantilized the boy (I don't know which one is Phugun and Cir) and the other one acts much older than his boyfriend, creating a weird "father/child" dynamic.
It gives me some of the weird vibes that TumTar gave me in that Tum seemed much older and to treat Tar as if he was a child but with Phugun and Cir this aspect was amped to the maximum, to a point where it seems almost too caricatural and awkward to watch.
I was so hesitant in starting this season after the mess it was that was the first season.... and SOME THINGS…
The characters don't feel like themselves in this season (I loved season 1 and liked how they evolved there) but I see no issue with Tharn still having lust for Type after all those years. People don't stop having sexual desire and attraction after years of relationship. My issue is that there was no build up to the NC series as opposed to the NC scenes in s1. Also those NC scenes were very poorly edited too as opposed to seamless editing season 1 gave us. I think Mewgulf still have on screen chemistry, it's just that the NC scenes were presented with no build up as I said, as if they were checking points in a fanservice list and not as something organic as it used to be in season 1.
The characters won't totally change themselves nor be perfect after 7 years so I have no issues with conflict or them still having work to do.
However the ironing scene was a mess for me because they seem to forget that on the special episode Type was bragging about Tharn being rich and paying things for him. But now suddenly he's throwing tantrums because he wants to iron because he feels bad that Tharn's family bought the apartment? Why did Type have to react like that just because Tharn said he didn't need to iron his clothes? But what was more idiotic to me was that Tharn was upset with Type not wanting to make their relationship public (which wasn't an issue on the special episode either) but then he spends the next days apologizing profusely with zero self respect, even talking about putting his hand in a hot pan to appease Type? They made Tharn either pout like a child for 2 episodes, or be horny all the time or be so clingy that he even risks Type's lively hood by making him come late to work (turned off the alarm) just because he doesn't want to let go of Type in the morning? Teenager season 1 Tharn wasn't this irresponsible and though he had abandonment issues (that he still has and that's fine), he still had some self respect. He even worried about Type missing classes, but now he doesn't care about Type getting late to his job so that he can stay cuddling in bed?
Yes, I want the conflict of a long term relationship and yes I expect Tharn and Type to still have some of the same issues as in season 1 because changing takes time and it's an ongoing journey and that's fine, but at least that the characters are coherent with season 1 and that the conflict and relationship are well written.
I heard that card is referring to episode 4, though your theory seems plausible too.
I agree. It's not a failure if he has to wait one year to go to university but meanwhile works on himself to love and accept himself and his sexuality. It will save him years of mental health issues and bad relationships. So in the end as long as he takes the lessons he has to take, it's not bad or sad in the long run.
I heard that card is referring to episode 4, though your theory seems plausible too.
Omg such a sad story! Yes much better than that. I was actually afraid they'd go for a Call Me By Your Name kind of ending having Teh choosing to live his hetero life. I think they're not going for that.
In the end Teh is young and even if he has to wait one year to go to college, it's not the end of the world. The most important is that he comes to term with his sexuality and learns to love himself as he is. And I have hopes for that since he admits his feelings to his brother, which is in my book a big victory and something that his former self would've never do.
Btw, I have no idea if this is true or not, but if the book really says this, it's a clue that it might happen:
This could be a total reach so correct me if I'm wrong but... in all the MVs, especially Skyline, why do they…
I have this feeling that it will end with them running together to the sunset as promised but not explicitly together romantically. I also noticed that in the MVs.

God I'm so nervous for the outcome! I think that an happy ending has to be at least Teh fully accepting himself and his sexuality as you say. But it might not mean ending up together with Aew, at least not right now and Nadao might go for it, yes. But seeing his dreams totally crushed and the pain he has to go through so that the "image" dies makes me want to cry.
Perfect interpretation! Thank you! God there is so much to unpack!
Yes, I also think it could be that as he say he likes having the water on his back and feel like something is holding him up. I like it has something to do with control, but in Teh's case it could also mean that as you say he feels lonely and in need of support.

Also, in the trailer it gives me the impression that besides his brother, Teh will come clean to Tarn.
