Oh, Juliet! What have they done?!

While writing this I kept asking myself, which was the worst. The script, the actors or my die hard need to finish whatever I've started. I take full blame for seeing this train wreck to the end. Nobody else. Just me. At 2x speed and ff, still it was painful.

It felt like a treasure hunt with no treasure at all.
1. We have a male character falling in love with another male character, who just happened to be a previous one night stand, all the while he's getting a blow job from a female character. Crude. Disgusting. Repulsive.
2. A female character who is willing to open her mind to becoming a lesbian because her female friend is in love with her. She asserts her love for men but considers it as her friend wants her to just get to know each other better. They've been friends for a while. How much more getting to know does she need? In so doing, will her V turn into P? No previous attraction seen.
3. Same said character is continuously rebuffed and rejected by a male character. Apparently, she buried her pride under her feet. So the female side character must be desperate and dull and hard of hearing. When will writers stop doing this? A whitty girl who recognizes that he wouldn't see her as nothing more than a friend and keeps his best interests at heart was too hard to write? Oh, they needed someone to be blamed for the unnecessary drama of the kidnap.
4. A brother of a male character keeps accusing another male character of raping his brother. The brother doesn't alert authorities but just stops talking to the alleged rapist. Sanity has left the room and the script. So his brother didn't know if there was a violation to his parts? He didn't say sexual assault for which the stolen kiss would fall under, but rape. His virgin brother wouldn't know if he was raped? One must always remember that in Thailand anything is possible. The more unbelievable the better, it seems.
5. The alleged rapist stays silent and doesn't seek the chance to clear his name until he has no choice but to. He starts a relationship and kisses his victim but only upon the dire threat of losing him, he begs for forgiveness. There was the usual separation and reconciliation but the ick is still there. How sick can a person be to steal a kiss from someone who doesn't know him like that AND is sleeping? Oh yes, I forgot, let's blame it on the convenient alcohol consumption. When all else fails, include alcohol.
6. A confused sexually abused male character attaches himself to the male doctor that showed him care and sympathy. To insert himself in the doctor's life, he renders the doctor's boyfriend unconscious. A search party ensues with numerous people with only the doctor finding him. Well, duh, who else would find him? Now here I would say, this was a story worth telling. Erase all the other crap, turn the abused character bat shit crazy who then stages an abduction of the doctor's boyfriend. Psycho continues to work alongside the doctor giving him much needed support until he unravels and is caught. This would be worthy of 8-10 episode easily. No, I guess that would mean expecting the actors to up their skills instead of parading around as juvenile uni students.
7. Four scriptwriters worked on this . FOUR! Then this got approval to be filmed. A director, to the best of my knowledge, who doesn't have a drinking problem attached his name to this. An agency with no reponsible use for money funded this. I will not blame the actors. Bills have to be paid and to stay relevant and gain experience, jobs have to be taken.

I purposefully left out all the characters names because they aren't worth drawing attention to or remembering. I am truly disheartened that 3 of the actors keep chosing projects that do not promote their acting abilities in a positive light. This is the true tragedy of it all.
