Trin asked while touring with him at the school, Tanwa never graduated, he said he switched his major from history to philosophy (ep3 touring scene 31 mins mark). This actually has been mentioned again by Victor on ep5 where he reminded Trin " Tanwa's just an old guy that never finished college"

he's older than him but didn't change the fact he's still a student at the same college. So Trin still has authority or power over him. ep4 sunset conversation Victor mentioned Trin only taught him one class, so technically trin was not his direct professor either.

I replied to the other comment saying that Tanwa is also a student, since the comment is talking about "authority, not age" so did I lie?

If you actually read my last comment I said I'm not saying they should date, I'm saying "I just felt like since Tanwa is also a student in the series, than we need to judge them the same." Than you kept on saying you are 30 and won't date a person that's 25 ( ok I never asked you... but ok that's your preference) My father is 12 years older than my mom, and 20 yrs later they are still happy together, so I guess agree to disagree? you do you.

First time them meeting each other was when Trin met Victor outside of the ball room area where Victor was a waiter. He asked him to shine his shoes, this is the first encounter. So he wasn't introduced as a professor first, he was introduced as a VIP guest at the hotel to Victor.

"who got his own life, his own career, his own power." uh are we watching the same series? you think Tanwa built that career and "power" with zero assistance from his surname and background of his family wealth and nothing to do with his father? You are 30 and you don't understand nepotism and how let's say it would effect a workplace? A person's surname holds a pretty big power.

Than how is Victor's Trin's Student when Trin only taught him ONE class as temp professor. (source: ep4 sunset conversation)

"he's barely an adult" you know what, why don't you take one step further and just say he's a minor. Because you keep on referring to Victor as too young. You already have that bias against him, and since you won't change ur mind than keep it.

But imo Tanwa is alot older but isn't necessarily more mature either. His was just in a different font. I'm not saying Trin and Tanwa don't belong together but I just felt like since Tanwa is also a student in the series, than we need to judge them the same.

Same! see, I'm conflicted. Part of me do want Victor and Trin have a fling, a hot kiss at the very least. Also the ending scene of ep 6 could have been a lot more spicier since Trin is "releasing" his long day of stress. but then again it's his uncle's house...so I get why they were doing it quietly.

ok thanks those did help explain the microexpressions

Even-though I love Victor and Trin, but Tanwa’s character is NOT useless. The existence of this character drive the story in a different perspective. I do feel like the character could be done better or blend more into the script. But that’s just me.

I think everyone in different times of their life is or knows someone that’s like “Tanwa” at one point, who dismisses the politics or everything around them in life. They use alcohol/ drugs or other types of dependent to numb themselves from what’s truly going on in this world. Deep down they are afraid, they run away rather than dealing with their trauma or running away from something within themselves. They are lost, so they live life day by day.

At one point I stopped going to the university for 3 years and went back after 3 years to finish it. That point of me felt like “Tanwa” even though I’m a 28 years old woman. I can relate to him. Not necessarily family issues, but at that point I was very lost on what I wanted to do in life, career goals etc.

Ironically, the guy I’m married just got his PhD and now is an assistant professor at another university. A girl used to chase him while me and him were in uni, and almost said the same thing as Victor did to him saying that I’m not very good in school; my grades aren’t as good as hers and that he deserves better. ( I wish I’m lying but it’s true). If anyone familiar with East Asian cultures knows that for certain families their grades and achievements equate to their life, education is seen as the most viable path to upward social mobility, only way to escape poverty for some. So for that girl, due to her upbringing she felt like the scores are everything.

When Victor said that to Trin, I almost got a whiplash. But Victor did ate with that line, he’s so madly in love it’s cute! I can’t even hate him. He’s so fearless, which is very contrast to Tanwa.

Ok I guess I don’t see the micro facial expressions. I agree we have different opinions

But Tanwa is also a student though (who have not dropped out yet) . So whatever you said should also be applied to Tanwa.

But I do agree on your take on Lert and Naran

Tanwa is also a student though (who have not dropped out yet) . So this also should be applied to Tanwa.

Tanwa's character does have development through the series, almost the whole ep4 is dedicated to Tanwa and his background. The execution could have been done better though..you are right.

the first two episodes are def needed, I skipped through ep 1 to watch ep2 and so on. Than I had to go back to ep1 to understand each character and their quick backgrounds. I feel some did truly linked to the story later on and why some characters feel the need to stand up for what they believe?

Ok I guess that does make sense. But I’ve seen BL where the others have to be the strong one, but there’s still “emotion” on their face. Which make the character has more layers.

Like a form of “strength” is also an emotion that could be shown on the face. Tanwa could show an emotion where he waited and worried for Trin, he doesn't know where he's at. Trin pouring emotions on his shoulder made him shocked of surprise but he had to hold it in because he's the strong one.

That could also be shown on the face. But on Tanwa’s face is….non chalant.

“ where you know you have to be the strong one” yes I know, and still I'm not asking Tanwa to full on have a crash out or cry with Trin.

“According to Thai fans” how is this even a credible source by all means. There are also a lot of Thai fans who thinks Victor has better chemistry or etc. There are different opinions.

And whats the obsession about age? I bet deep down you wish Victor’s underage so you could have labeled it “pedophilia” right away. Victor is in college, theerefore he's a full adult, that's all the information we needed to know. Unless the show release information to said otherwise.

Also on x, a Thai fan said Victor and Trin are finally over. And Apo responded “ how do you know it’s over? Hehe”

So like Apo said, its not over yet. Ironically some fans started attacking Apo for saying that…weird:

idk why but I feel like Tanwa lacks emotions on that last scene, he just stands there smoking unbothered as if he's waiting for his buddy to get off work. When he sees the pouring emotions from Trin...once again....nothing on his face. While Trin is speaking to Dhevi, not one emotion crossed that face. I need someone to explain to me....because I'm lost, I feel disconnected from their relationship.

ok I know how everyone saying the power dynamic between a professor and student is bad, like it is wrong for this ship to even happen or think about. But how is Krailet and Naran not parallels to that? I think if we are talking about power dynamics, than the Colonel and Reporter is just as bad.

Krailet is a colonel with way more power and connections, Naran is a reporter with no wealthy family background or much power. The kiss in ep2 is consented since Naran end up initiating it, BUT in ep 3 where Krailert dragged Naran into a dark room in which he tried to escape or get out 2 times. The colonel dragged him back each time. Let's say the reporter said no, and ran out...I don't think this would benefit him very much and from previous conversation between colonel and veera, If he wanted he could have shut up Naran forever.

You word it beautifully, I feel the exact same.

Also It’s because alot of people watching it are Mileapo fans who don’t want to focus on the plot. They don’t see TrinTanwa, they only see “Mileapo” and only through that lens.

Yes and? only his mother’s money? Whose job was a writer. Right right. Ok

Ok Tanwa’s character is becoming so so unlikeable. I can’t even make excuses anymore…it’s ironic how he has so much trauma yet not some empathy left for his father. Now I’m starting to think he talked about his past trauma to certain people just to manipulate them to get what he wants.

Does HE know that the reason why he lives such a comfortable life is because of his father and thanks to his father’s surname.

Edit: also the ending nc feels like fan service to satisfy the Mileapo fans. It just doesn’t feel like the tension falls into place for them to act upon it.

Same! I know Victor and Trin ain’t end game but Trin should give Victor one unforgettable night or something before he run off with Tanwa.

I honestly felt like Tanwa's character stay true to himself since the beginning, he had told Trin multiple times he wanted to "go with the flow" do whatever the wind blows, or whatever it takes him etc. He has shown Trin who HE is very clearly. Trin keeps on pushing and asking for commitment, and when Tanwa once again had to remind him that they are very close and happy. Trin pulled that *pikachu face* like as if it's the first time Tanwa told him to: Go with the flow.

Either give Tanwa some time to cool off, get to know each other a little more before jumping into anything serious. Because it looks like it's Tanwa anxiety and trauma every time Trin tried to do anything too serious.
