When Barth and Tanrak were kissing in the storage closet they were about to do way more if they weren’t almost…
Why is no one talking about this? 🫢 I saw where that hand was going, and judging by Barth’s facial expression, I can only assume something happened there…. It happened so quickly.
You can easily see how much more Tanrak starts lying after meeting Barth. I don't mean this in a "Barth is…
Before meeting Barth, Tanrak’s entire life was built around being “good.” He followed God’s teachings, avoided sin, never lied, and tried to live in a way that he believed would eventually lead him back to his parents in heaven. His faith was not just a belief… it was the one thing that gave his life structure after losing his family so young. Becoming a priest was almost like the path he created for himself to make sense of his suffering.
But then Barth enters his life, and for the first time Tanrak experiences something he has been missing his entire life: unconditional love. Not the love of God as an idea, not the memory of his parents, but a person who chooses him, protects him, and makes him feel like he belongs. Barth becomes the first person who makes Tanrak feel like he has a family again.
That is why Tanrak changes so much. It is not simply that he suddenly wants to “sin” or abandon his faith. He is experiencing a conflict between two things he deeply values: the God he has always trusted and the love that makes him feel truly alive for the first time.
“If God teaches us to love, but we’re not allowed to love each other, then what’s the point of having God in this world?” -Barth
For someone like Tanrak, that question is terrifying because it forces him to think beyond rules and punishment. He has always seen faith as something that tells him what he can and cannot do, but Barth makes him question whether love itself could also be something sacred.
Kongdech’s words when he tells tanrak he already knows about their relationship were really hurtful because they attack the one hope he has always held onto: seeing his parents again. When Kongdech suggests that choosing Barth means losing the chance to reunite with his parents in heaven, he is not just telling Tanrak that his relationship is wrong — he is threatening the one dream Tanrak has carried since childhood.
That is why Tanrak is so afraid. He is not only afraid of sinning; he is afraid of losing everything he has believed in, losing his parents again, and discovering that the love that finally made him happy might cost him the only thing he has been waiting for his entire life.
In a way, Barth does not destroy Tanrak’s faith. He forces Tanrak to question whether faith without love is really the kind of faith God would want.
I think the most tragic part of Tanrak’s character is that he is not choosing between “good” and “bad.” He is choosing between the life he was taught to live and the first thing that ever made him feel loved.
both of them are SUCH excellent actors it blows my tiny mind. may they always work with great directors and scripts…
I think this is their strongest series yet, although I admit I’m biased because I naturally gravitate toward more serious, mature stories rather than romantic comedies. Nonetheless, I do enjoy them once in a while, and My School President really hit the nail on the head.
OMG THE APPLE?! I didn't catch it at first but it's giving Adam and Eve and the forbidden fruit!!! Aof knew exactly…
You’re not overthinking, thanks for sharing your observations 🥰 I love when people notice these little details, it really shows you’re fully immersed in the story and actually engaging with it on a deeper level.
OMG!!! I envy you!!! MSP is one of my favorite series!
It’s so cute, fluffy, and funny. I’ve never been the biggest fan of romantic comedies, but somehow they’re changing the way I see the genre. They might have just made me a fan, I’m not the same anymore. 🥹
I wasn’t a fan of Gemini and Fourth before this, but sometimes all it takes is one role, one show, and suddenly everything clicks. Now I’m watching their old series, wondering how I never saw the appeal before. They’re so talented and charismatic, and I completely understand the hype now. I’m obsessed, currently watching My School President for the first time and having the best time.
I was really enjoying this show at first, but for some reason it doesn’t feel as exciting anymore. I don’t want to offend anyone, but I feel like the writing has started to become a bit weak. The pacing feels strange — some parts move way too slowly, while others feel rushed and don’t get enough time to develop. It’s a shame because I think the show had a lot of potential.
