I like this series only for the Phob-Eak storyline for which I've been anticipating developments on every week.…
If I had to bet on it, I'd wager that Phob and Eak do eventually become a couple, and if that happens I agree that Eak's transformation will be particularly hard to believe since his rebuff to Phob seemed quite final even as it showed lots of class and sensitivity.
The Mork-Pi relationship has become more interesting to me as the series comes to an end. It feels like the story is finally grappling with what it's really like for a person with low self-esteem to be suddenly faced with acceptance. Pi doesn't believe it's possible that someone as handsome and esteemed as Mork could be attracted to him, and he's frantically looking for any possible clue to prove that his fear is justified. At the same time, he's rationalizing away any proof that Mork in fact does care about him and likes him for who he truly is. And this is how the brain is wired for a kid who grows up with a constant inner dialog about his own inferiority.
The earlier episodes with Pi obsessing over Mueang Nan were the cartoon version of such a conflict. It's probably why I was so impatient over those scenes. They didn't ring true at all.
Another thing that hasn't rung true is the pairing of Duean and Meen. It's like their part of the script was written in crayon. What's with all the lip service to Meen making Duean want to be a better person? Really? For most of the series Duean was just trying to get Meen to do most of the work on their project. The two of them have zero chemistry.
I suspect the writers for the series know this too, because the scene with Duean trying to force Meen to drink alcohol is a pathetic and unbelievable attempt at forcing some drama into their dynamic.
Meen is utterly miscast. The actor looks like a child and speaks like a child. He has the physical presence of a marshmallow. This is not someone who is ready to play a romantic role of any kind, let alone be a romantic lead for a secondary couple in a series. Any one of the guys cast as Duean's friends would have been better suited to the part.
I am curious to see, though, if the script will have Duean and Mean attempt a romantic kiss sometime in the final episode. Yikes. Please, GMMTV -- it would be better to haul the "2gether" high-five out of storage and let the boys work with that instead.
Little-known fact: 95% of Thais die by being run over by a truck. The other 5% die of fatal illnesses they contract…
Whoever the town boss is, he needs to send his henchmen back to Enforcer School. It's not a good look for them to be bested by an old woman and a twink from the big city.
Pond/Than looks so familiar that I was sure he's been in another series, but the bio on here says this is his first. To me he looks like he could be Singto's younger brother.
This series is a triumph of quiet competence. Nothing flashy, just populated with cute and interesting characters. This and Siew Sum Noi are what I look forward to each week.
why does every high school Cdrama the FL has the same short hair cut these days LOL
I think it's the go-to style to make the characters look young. The boys also have bangs when the character is young and as he gets older the hair gets pushed back from the face.
What a snooze-fest. The director of "Until We Meet Again" must have been hired for this episode. The dialog ... just ... dragged ... out ... with ... eternal ... pauses.
They had 20 minutes of material stretched over 2 hours. I hope the series didn't peak too soon.

I cried for Bas though.
That's exactly how a guy thinks when he's both attracted and horny -- he wants to get right down to business.

Great quote. I love this and will no doubt repeat it someday. It could apply to so many works of art and how individuals perceive them.
At some level a guy like him would be proud of the power he was able to exert and what he achieved by doing it.
I hope the Jae chapter is over. It would be particularly bad writing if he turns up in Episode 5.
