For me it's the complete opposite, Us is my fav gl of all time so this show feels even more disappointing

Originally I wasn't even a fan of Namtan showing up but the few ElleJay moments are legit 100x more interesting, entertaining and well developed than whatever ChanKey have going on lol

I think the dad reacting badly at first makes total sense. His daughter just gave away a billion dollar contract over a woman who he thinks is the same as Pheem's mom. Honestly I would have found it weird if he hadn't been mad at all. And I give him props for apologising later.

I hope you're right bc Pan would deserve that. I just found the timing very suspicious. And I'm not sure Mon was convinced Pan would say yes if she had simply asked her bc she's seen how possessive Pheem is of her. And I do think she cares about Pan, but desperate times, desperate measures... but maybe I'm just becoming paranoid bc there's so many villains in this show 😅

Am I the only one suspicious of Mon? I don't trust her at all, I think that whole attack on her was a setup to make Pan come back to the club bc her financial problems are so big she might have to close it. But she doesn't want to ask Pan herself so she put her in a position where she knew that Pan would offer it herself bc she feels indebted to Mon for all she's done for her.

The only thing that bothered me today was the product placement. I understand they need sponsors and everything but can they at least try to make it a little more subtle 😭 I thought I was watching a 3 min ad in the middle of an episode 💀

He is like the male version of Apasiri 😭

Ofc shit's gonna blow up in the next ep but this was very wholesome and sweet 🥹 Absolutely loved seeing this caring and protective side of Pheem (She even discovered the word "sorry" 😭). Brilliant ep, had me hooked from start to finish.

Throwing your career away like this was certainly a choice 💀

Finally Simba made an appearance again 🥹

CH3 I haven't forgiven you for what happened last week and for the sake of my sanity and LenaMiu I simply have to pretend that scene doesn't exist, but this ep was sooooo beautiful omg 😭😭😭

That is probably the thing I love most about Us. Every character has some kind of trauma or tragic backstory and in that regard it's a very heavy series but it's all wrapped up in so much love, friendship & care, that it doesn't feel suffocating. Paired with the humour, the banter and Dokrak's cheekiness it was incredibly well-banced between heavier and lighter parts.
Here, we still haven't even gotten to an attempt at healing bc of the lack of character development and the 'love' between ChanKey feels disingenuous so for me there's nothing that counterbalances all the depressing stuff.

I agree that Jay had the 'best' development but at the same time the bar is at at the floor atp and who she ends up with is the least interesting question for me.
ChanKey's relationship hasn't progressed at all and I'm soooo tired of the "mom is the final boss" storyline.

That makes it even worse for me bc imagine your gf tells you you've met 10 years ago and then you just say sorry for not remembering instead of asking what exactly happened?? Lol

Yeah lack of communication or miscommunication is one of my least fav tropes and lots of gls suffer from it but here it's extreme extreme

Totally agree, it feels like lazy fanservice to me bc they know lots of viewers will enjoy it (I saw so many comments celebrating) and it'll create buzz online. Film is an amazing actress and is doing a wonderful job here and I think this would have been a great chance for her to do sth independent of the CP.
Plus imo Jay doesn't need another love story. Not every character desperately needs to be paired up at the end.

This is going from meh to bad for me. wdym we're in ep 7 and they still don't communicate? first Key telling Chan about their backstory was off screen and now Chan hears about Key from her family? talking about marriage after 2 weeks of dating when she still doesn't know the first thing about Key lol. this must be one of the most underdeveloped ships i've ever come across in a gl

Thank you, I will check it out!

Agreed, fiction doesn't exist in a vacuum and (esp. young) people might start thinking that this behaviour is normal or acceptable.

Not yet but more so bc I don't think I know any. Any recommendations?

Well, yes and no. I'm not against showing such scenes per se, the problem is that we are supposed to ship those characters bc they always end up together. After countless gay characters ending up dead in western media, that is sth I enjoy about (thai)gl but it makes it difficult to do some topics justice, especially with such a limited number of episodes.
Regarding some comments, if someone doesn't care much about the scene bc it's fiction or whatever, okay, each person has their own taste; what I find quite disturbing are the excuses some ppl make just to pretend that this isn't SA. Stuff like 'why did she kiss back', 'why didn't she fight more', 'she secretly wanted it' etc. are all things that are said to dismiss real life victims of SA/rape . In the same ep we had a man assaulting a woman and I highly doubt anyone would call that scene "hot" or that it would have been okay if that man had been the boyfriend of the assaulted woman.
We can enjoy the show, the characters etc. while acknowledging its flaws, there is no need to bend over backwards and deny reality.

I feel the same about them. I've never really cared much about any fixed CP, I watch almost everything, but their friendship and interactions seem so genuine, they've kinda become one of my few favs. And I'm annoyed that CH3 can't even get the technical things like editing right, how do they care so little about their shows??
I feel especially sad for Lena, when you listen to her in interviews, she poured her heart and soul into this role and is portraying Peem to perfection, all while going through sth so difficult in real life, and now it all gets mixed up.
Regarding the plot, I think there are lots of ppl on both extreme ends; on the one hand you have people who outright deny that this is assault and on the other hand you have the ultra morality police who was already talking badly about the show after Ep1, claiming such toxic shows shouldn't even exist, or that you are some kind of deranged person if you enjoy these possessive characters, which is also annoying.
