Communication For Dummies

This has got to be a pbs special on the effects of miscommunication, finality of death and unwavering forgiveness spoon fed to us in the format of 'Communication For Dummies'. The fact that everyone and their momma had already guessed that it was his brother by ep 3 but played out for 8-9, no fam. No matter how you look at it.

1. Why was it so excruciatingly long? 7 max would have been enough.
2. Why would a ml maintain his silence rather than get clarification from his partner? Brainless. Spineless.
3. Why would he feel comfortable circumventing his life for events that had nothing to do with him? Stupidity or sainthood? I'm leaning to the first guess. No amount of love does that.
4. Why did the 2nd cp have a more entertaining story? The acting was a different story. More classes needed.
5. Why did I have to test my blood glucose level everytime I saw those kids? Diabetes anyone?
6. Why did a mother allow her child to choose who she wanted to live with just because she had another family? Who walks away from a child that easily? I tell you, Thailand women probably don't go through labor. Between her and the unwed mother in That Summer, I'm baffled. No fight. No push. Nothing.
7. Why did Than forgive the bone head decision so easily and with such a calm face? This one was the saint.
8. What was the need to show so many nc scenes that did NOTHING to the story? One or two are fine. I'm sure the viewers have seen nc before and better also. For those who need tutorials, see Kinnporsche, Shine and the infamous honey from Top Form.
9. Why did Tu sound like a hen about to lay everytime he was onscreen? Fore warning: have volume at lowest level. You will thank me later.
10. Other than the 2nd cp, why did everyone look like they were on the good stuff? You know, herbs. Two needed anti-depressants (Akin and Don) and the rest, especially the parents, were doing a toothpaste ad. Pond was okay.
11. Why did Akin's and Than's deductive skills and maturity level seem reversed? Roughly 5 years difference between and Than had more wisdom by miles. We all know who will be making the decisions going forward.
12. Why was this story allowed to drag to death what could have been a cute 7 ep family adjacent series? Can't use friendly, the useless nc killed that notion. All that nc and they still label it 13+.
13. Why did Meya suddenly felt territorial over Mawin, when she graciously accepted assistance for eight years? From a complete stranger. Suddenly, he's yours alone. Like, please. Step to the side with that ish.

The good:
Than is a keeper. He showed his love for him at every turn.
Pond made Don face their relationship head on. No in the closet stuff. I will admit that I had a good chuckle with him in the boxers group chatting with Don right behind.
Nat, despite his feelings, always put Than's wellbeing first.
The messages were received. Patience in adversity; Love enduring through time and space; Treasure every moment with the ones you love; forgiveness is a strength and not a weakness; communication is needed for healthy relationships.
Visuals and setting were done well.

There is no need to watch again. Once is more than enough. Now let me go touch grass.
