As long as.....
As long as I live I will try to forget that 12 hours was wasted on P'Fah and Teerak. If I have to hear one more P'Fah ..... save us please. Grown past teenage years but still acts childish. One word - infantilism. What is this Thai obession of encouraging behaviours unbecoming an adult? A person can be coddled and spoiled without exhibiting such behavior.
Their story has been told many times before and with the expected result. Let's be real, it's BL and they are the mls, it's expected and I will admit wanted. A nice romance about one sided love hidden under the guise of protection, eventually blossoming and culminating into true love. Real and Hai coming to terms of what their friendship means to each other. Lee finding his place and his special one. What's not to love, right?
Here goes:
Teerak's childish mannerisms
Muenfah's old age mannerisms
Muenfah's 2 wooden and stoic expressions.
Teerak calling Muenfah's name every single sentence when speaking to him. Hey Teerak, he has tasted the goodies, no need to remind him what his name is. I'm sure he isn't lost or suffering amnesia.
Oh acting like a clown for Teerak.
Oh, hungry for love, latching onto another person because they showed interest.
Mike in the role of Oh. How desperate are you to take a role better suited to someone age appropriate?
Production placing Mike in that role. Poor choice.
Hai teasing Real for 5 solid episodes and when the tables are turned, miraculously doesn't know his feelings.
Teerak not being adult enough to tell his father the truth but has him guessing like there is a prize to win.
The blatant disrespect, but expecting a different response.
Teerak's father acting like a rectum, when grandpa and everyone else was on board. Didn't grandpa raise you? Didn't you watch a bl and liked it? So what's the deal?
Teerak's mother and sister cowering when the father was enraged. Like what is he going to do? Worst case, there is a couch for him to sleep on...
Teerak's father kept insisting that he wants to see him happy? Hello, did you watch your son? He's happy. He's got a very rich boyfriend involved in two prospering business who wants to make his every wish come true. Yes, he is happy. Infact, ecstatic.
What is there to love:
Teerak's grandpa recognizing the game from the get go and spoke respectfully to Muenfah about his expectations.
Teerak's determination not to leave Muenfah.
Teerak's sister's devotion to being the best sister to him.
Teerak's character growth.
Teerak's and Muenfah's support from their friends.
Lee's loyalty to both Teerak and his brother.
Lee's dating skills. My man turned a comment about the moon into a whole relationship.
Lee's target recognizing his game and matched his skills.
Muenfah's parents treating their young adult children appropriately.
Muenfah waiting until Teerak was ready to sleep with him.
Muenfah's and Teerak's intimate moments were tastefully done.
Writers and producers at large, please stop putting out shows where childish behaviors are encouraged and rewarded. What are the life lessons that they were trying to impart that hasn't been told already. Only one: Do not tease your best friend, he will want to fu*k you at some point. Real is a good one. This series did have some warm endearing moments, especially between Fah and Rak, but not enough to warrant a rewatch. Time to move on.
