I'm not anti-therapy, I have had therapy, but it isn't culturally appropriate for everyone. Not everyone who has…
I do agree that Western therapy approaches don't really account for cultural differences. However, that's why I think it's even more important for individuals to seek therapy from licensed professionals in their own countries/cultures who can understand context.
Like for most Asian kids, the 'cut off your toxic family' approach just doesn't work. The context of family and what's considered toxic is very different here than it is in the West. But the right therapist will still be invaluable for you.
Funny actually because Fah becomes a therapist himself post-graduating in the novels and plays quite a big role…
Fourever You novels have two spin-offs - TigerNao and JayDan. You know TigerNao of course, Dan is Nao's younger brother. I think Nao mentions him in the pilot for the TigerNao story.
Fah appears in the JayDan novel as a psychiatrist. As you'd expect, he's a very kind and understanding doctor :)
Episodes 1 and 2 were good, but 3-5 is a snooze fest. They dragged out the whole gift exchange for 3 episodes…

This episode was so good 🥹I was a bit disappointed that Fah didn't confront Phoon about being the person sending…
1. Hill didn't know Phoon was sending the letters because Fah had no idea in the beginning and Ter didn't tell him (due to the promise he made to Phoon). Fah told him as soon as he discovered that Phoon was the one writing to him.
2 - Fah doesn't like a stranger, he likes Phoon. What Fah likes about the person who wrote the letters - selfless love, always wishing the best for him without expecting anything in return - that's ALL Phoon's personality. Once he discovers that it's Phoon writing, he starts to notice all those qualities in Phoon and falls in love with him.
one thing I hate about this is that they don't tell us the timeline, they expect you to know cause of the novel…
If they're being this vague with the timeline, can't even imagine how they'll handle TigerNao's story that takes place in the span of nearly a decade.
I think all this comes from catering to the book's fans too much. After the screentime backlash for Season 1, the production team asked the author to come on board as an advisor/consultant. Unfortunately, that has resulted in the show being created for the book's fans instead of trying to hook the general audience.
stop I was just thinking and it's actually so cool to have read the novels first and watch this show while it's…
Yeah, Oat is doing a great job with all of Dao's micro-expressions. Those who have read the novel can understand why he's reacting to certain things in a certain way, but for those who haven't, it'll still be a surprise!
It'll be fun to see him in his full 'AI Robot' state because he's only smiley and somewhat talkative with his friends.

You're free to not like something, but I just found the context funny, that's it!
1 - The 4 Fourever You novels
2 - The two novels with Nao's family
The only connection they have to Fourever You is via North.
2 - Fah doesn't like a stranger, he likes Phoon.

Trust me, if you had to choose among the 4 doctors irl, you would choose Fah without hesitation.
But these episodes are also longer than the average Thai BL
