I picked up knitting for my crush at some point ... hahahahahahahaa ... it was good while it lasted. Now all the needles and wools are gathering dust somewhere :). Oh how love inspires us to do things that we never imagined would be possible.

Killing the character of Wang would be lazy script writing, in my opinion. So I don’t think Wang would be killed off. He might have an accident which can be the turning point for the relationships of all three. My humble prediction.

I agree with what you have said about Mol and her past relationship with Siam. I also feel that the mess was created by all three of them. Rosalin (if she even existed) was a co-lateral and also Wang afterwards. Mol was in love with Siam and she went all out to get her man, which is natural behaviour. Whether she manipulated or cajoled Siam into the relationship, we simply don't know. But at the end Siam was a consenting adult who went into marraige knowing he loved someone else and even started a family. Blaming Mol for everything is easy but probably not accurate. And like you, I am also not rooting for In and Wang. Wang deserves better.

Yes, well said. Wang is so young to be taking the burden of such a relationship. But when one is young, one can take such a daring decision. It would probably not be possible for a more mature person to do so. Youth provides such possibilities. In this case though the other person involved is a 40 something adult. Whether he can take such a decision and commit to it, is yet to be seen.

True, my heart breaks for all three of them. I hope the mother and son relationship sees growth and acceptance. Nothing will change over night but I hope they find ways of genuine communication and compassion. It is very easy to judge the mother but I think she does not have a masterplan of manipulating her son and so on. If she had 'manipulated' Siam in loving her, which I doubt is possible, then it was also Siam's responsibility that he did not speak his truth. He went ahead and married someone that he did not love and started a family. He was a consenting adult. He knew his truth and yet allowed things to go the way they did. In on the otherhand also did not speak his truth. Yes, things were difficult but he did not even acknowledge it to himself or to Siam. I think all three of them have responsibilities in the mess that was created. It was not just Mol planning and manipulating everyone. But Mol is homphobic and that is something I cannot get over. I absolutely hated it when she said she will try to make Wang normal :(.

That was intense! For the first time in a drama, as a viewer, I do not know what I want as the outcome. Is there a good outcome from all of this? What would even be a good outcome?

When Mol said she will never be OK again, that resonated with me. It will be difficult for her to forget the trauma of loosing her husband and son to the same man. And I could understand why she felt like she was loosing Wang. Yes, the way she was pleading with In to let go of Wang is selfish, but that is the natural reaction of a person who is homophobic, traditional and manipulative. I do believe that she doesnot have a masterplan of manipulating people in her life but she probably cannot see from other people's perspective and tries to make it "normal". She is representing the society that most of us live in.

The way Wang feels that he loves In, I also cannot fully commit to that. Wang has been all his life heavily conditioned by the absense of his father. He grew up lonely and fantacized about In. So I think he was already in love with the idea of In. He claiming that he is in love with In is not unexpected but I do wonder if his feelings are heavily influenced by his past obsession or not?

In on the other hand has not clearly expressed his love for Wang yet, but he is for sure complacent. He has allowed Wang to be close to him, he has seen Wang express his love for him and did not protest so I think he also loves him. Or atleast thinks that he does. He probably doesn't want to repeat the same story with Wang as with Siam. He himself has a lot of guilt and trauma from that. I think it will be difficult for him to separate his feelings for Siam and Wang.

It is as complicated as it can be. Should all three of them forget about this and move on with their lives, that doesn't seem like the right thing to do. Is it possible for Wang and In to be a couple and Mol to be supportive of it? Is it possible for Wang and In to escape the shadow of the past and commit to themselves solely? Don't know. I have rarely seen such a complex drama. I, as a viewere am amazed and involved. Kudos to the team for creating such a master piece. The dinner scene was splendid. Thank you if anyone has read so far, I had to rant and clear my head a bit.

Unfortunately, I did not get it.

Enjoyed it so far. Story telling is not awkward and the actors are doing a good job of portraying the emotions. specially Moon. The BGMs are good though I feel they are using it too much as if in every scene the BGMs are telling us what to feel. I wish it was a bit toned down. Nonetheless, a good watch. Reminds me of the manhwa "Back in time to you". Is it actualy inspired from it?

The director is a veteran stage director. This is his first series. No wonder it feels like stage play 😀.

🙂🙃🥰

Yes, I can relate. I felt like it was a thriller or sort where stories are getting revealed stpe by step. Oh so good!

Please watch "About Youth". Its a breath of fresh air. Simple, sweet refreshing and healthy 😀. Oh and short!

Well said. I also feel In at the moment is imagining Wang as an extension of Siam. Wang also I think is influenced by the mystry that surrounded In, his whole life and the fact that Siam loved In. In the monologue In does refer to Wang as Siam many times. Its supremely complex and my feelings toward them as well. I feel they both are in love with a shadow and the idea of love. I kind of don't want them to be together under these circumstances. At least they should separate the past from the present and then think if what they feel is love or something else. I am conflicted. I want Wang to get out of this circle of the past and realize his own potential beyond the shadow of his parents.

And on top it the same man loving them both 😀 ya, prayers for khun sasiwimol.

I don't dislike the mom's character. She is a single mom, who provided for the family, thrieved professionally and took care of her needs. Like most humans, she has many flaws and she tries in her own way to deal with it. There are certain things I do not appreciate in the way this character is portrayed but that's ok. The character is way more relatable than many.

On point 😀

I love Taiwanese content over all.

Agree with you completely. The content speaks and finds it's audience. This series was a breath of fresh air reminding me of my teen age and all the complexities that came with it. It made me feel so good, I am still smiling.

That's sad to know but due to OTT the drama found it's audience :) which are us :)

Yes, a special kudos for that. it set the tone of the episode and expressed a lot of the person who was speaking.
