The entire ep 6 felt like an ad for the Catholic Church, Tanrak’s gayness was still seen as a sin in the end.…
True, i guess i had forgotten that he didnt go to church still, i guess i just didnt like the general love toward religion at the end (i understand thats my own bias dw)
Hmmm... I would be careful with such characterisation. As a gay man I would say NO, it is not. It's beautiful…
Unfortunately that is how it seems. I definitely think a happy-ish ending could have worked, but absolutely not in the way they did it. Sad but oh well... mostly im upset that i waited for 2+years for the series

I get you. I definitely think this series was probably nice to watch for some people. I grew up catholic and bisexual, and still struggle with family stuff, so im sure i have a slightly different perspective. I still liked the show, i just had a few things i would change :) also last thing i may have phrased it wrong when i talked about TR's trauma, i dont think theres anything worng with believing in something because of trauma, i just think that religion was harmful to TR, and esp when it came from a place of trauma, i hoped to see all of those things worked through in convos with Barth or Therapy lol. Probably me projecting a little though! :)

I agree, i have a huge issue with the fact that they made Barth convert. Another stupid thing when Tanrak went back in ep 6 was the fact that everyone still treated his gayness as a sin. Like no. I wanted a happy ending where TR left the church and realised there was nothing wrong or sinful about him. And then him and Barth could live together happily. Not the preachy catholic advert we got instead.
Honestly it was a really good series. Breathtaking acting from GemFot….. except the final ep kind of went downhill…
The entire ep 6 felt like an ad for the Catholic Church, Tanrak’s gayness was still seen as a sin in the end. And for some reason Barth decided to convert? Don’t get me wrong, I wanted a happy ending, but I do not believe that ending fit with the character’s personalities. Barth was not religious, and Tanrak was mostly religious due to the trauma of loosing his parents, and therefore wanting to see them again. I personally think they should have left in ep 5 and moved on with their lives outside of religion. It would have been nice to see them visit the church for sure, however it got way too preachy instead. Like it was glossing over all of the grief and pain the church and the priest had caused Tanrak and Barth.
Anyway I love my Tanrak, I just wish he had escaped fully :(
oh I loved this movie, I could enjoy it since I didn't watch the original but the only thing bothering me was…
I know what you mean, and i also struggle with female titles in gay couples, however from what I have seen in both dramas and in real couples (mostly coming from Asian backgrounds) female titles are used a lot, so whilst i agree that ideally they wouldn’t be used at all, i think it is more of a cultural difference, anyway, im glad you liked the film lol :)
