Not a Robot

I feel that Teh will do this to Oh-aew if he stays with him. Teh wants to be a star, which requires him to erase his life with Oh. Teh is a lot like the Hangli, so it will be interesting to see what happens.

Yes, Teh was only devastated after Oh-aew accepted Bas' public confession. It has been difficult for me to emotionally connect to this series because the protagonist is so flawed and selfish. I usually do not want the lead to go for the second lead, but I was okay with Bas. People are flawed in real life, but we also tell our friends to dump the Teh's in real life too. Someone on Reddit said that this particular director's projects always end in break-up or death, but I'm not sure if that's true.

I do not feel sorry for Teh, but agree that Jai set the whole situation up. Jai even told Oh-aew that it was his directing style, but because Teh is inherently selfish too, so he could not see Jai for who he is. Jai is not very well liked considering that nobody in Jai's circle came to see the play, and after Oh-aew left, Jai just walked out, observed and walked back in. I didn't care, unlike season 1 where I kind of felt bad for Teh. He has done this before and was forgiven, so let him be a star, in the closet, having random hookups and being the next Jai.

I love how Teh told Oh that he stopped seeing Jai, as if Jai still wanted to see him?!? The player got played, and because he is always used to having the upper hand with Oh, Teh didn't see it coming.

As of last episode, for Teh to be a superstar, he will need to delete his Instagram and live in the closet. By then, Oh will have gone on with his life since he is resilient and not closeted. Hopefully Teh will make the right decision.

Sorry! I get it now. Even the whole 2M2 recasting debacle was a hot mess.

Very sad. At least J9 were just friends, not a couple, but China is super strict even though they are making $$$$ on WOH and GDC (I can't remember the series name).

I didn't know the CIWYW casts' phones were taken away. I thought that series was an expose. I even read Aum's interview where he says that much of it is based on true situations.

I agree that his may be the 2nd of a trilogy, but I think the viewers are starting to get tired of the angst. I believe that Teh is redeemable because he is young, got caught up in a manipulation while he thought that he was living the dream. I will be very disappointed if the series contract is worth more than his personal relationships. If he hits delete, then I honestly think that Teh should find someone like Jai so they can mind f#@& each other daily. If this relationship is to be saved, Teh will have to do a lot of hard work, starting with not deleting his instagram. He will also need to be honest with Oh and discuss with Oh what he wasn't getting from him.

They just released episode 1 on YouTube and I watched it, but I wasn't going to continue to watch it because i thought it was going to be a fetish for certain men, since it seems like all of the men could be in the "daddy" category. Now that i know about the seropositive results, I will watch it because while in social work school i did an internship at an HIV/AIDS organization, and yes, living with HIV achieve true love, happiness and good health.

If LOTR is Lord of the Rings, I'm not sure because I didn't watch the movies.

True, this is fantasy, just like Teh's feelings for Jai are rooted in fantasy, but the creators of the series are deliberately playing with our real feelings as well. In this series, most viewers would be more emotionally aligned with the Oh-aew character, not Teh. So when Oh gets messed with, so do the viewers. It's kind of like a Jai tactic, but I'm over analyzing.

Forgiveness is a wonderful gift for both parties, the problem is, Teh keeps repeating the same mistakes, he is not a one and done person. That's where it turns dysfunctional for the person doing the forgiving, when the, "our relationship is different" mindset comes in.

There will always be victim blamers in the world. That's how the Teh's and Jai's continue to hook people in.

I understand, but that's how people end up in a 30 year toxic relationship and when they wake up, it's too late and they have too much invested emotionally and financially to leave. It's very difficult to go back to being friends with someone you once loved. It does happen, but it's rare, and usually it is following and amicable breakup, not a betrayal.

Yes, he wants both. He insulted Oh-aew even further by telling him that he never thought about breaking up with him. He has forgotten that he has always loved Oh-aew, even though he showed this during the opening scene of season 1 when he is singing that song. To me, Teh is that type who doesn't realize what he has, and is always looking for the next best thing. Oh is the stability and warmth, while Jai is the fire and excitement. It's just like people who don't appreciate their mother until they get older. When we're children, our family is important, when we're younger adults, our friend are everything and as we get older, our family becomes more important once again. Yet even when our friends are everything, we still want to hold on to our family, since that's our safe place. I think that's why Teh cried when Oh-aew coldly rejected him. I think that I'm babbling.

I think that if Jai reciprocated his feelings, that he would have left Oh-aew. The high of falling in love is just too intoxicating for Teh at this time, especially since Teh is falling for a fictional character. Teh would discover that Jai is just like him, and he would have been devastated and heartbroken.

The whole basis of this series (Parts 1 and 2) is the emotional carnage that Teh causes Oh-aew. The acting is fantastic, but the story is not. They have been using emotional manipulation of the viewers into thinking this is a masterpiece. It's like the writers/director is Teh and the viewer is Oh-aew. I think I'm reaching and being melodramatic, but so is this series.

I loved the flower scene as well, and when he grabbled the flowers off of the table, Oh said, "I'll have these back" so it was like taking back his congratulations as well.

I hope that Oh-aew either sees Teh with Jai or another guy, so that he will know that he made the right decision. Maybe he will run into Bas who cared enough about Oh to publicly declare his feelings, even at the risk of being judged by his friends.

Especially since Teh has always caused Oh heartache from the very beginning. Season 1 was about Teh messing with Oh's feelings. It's disappointing that season 2 was a continuation of this theme.

We can also see how poorly this philosophy has worked for Johnny. His philosophy should be, that if you find that you are having feelings for someone else, either stay away from them, or see a counselor to help ripple them out before you make a decision.

The worst part is that Teh screwed up his relationship over an illusion. When he confessed to Jai, he said that he was Jai's Akin, and that Jai was his Fang. Akin and Fang do not exist, except on the stage. This is how people in real life screw up their relationships because the fantasy always way more alluring than reality. I know people who have fooled around during every marriage/relationship because of this.

I don't think so, but the work required to achieve the happy ending cannot be done in one episode.

I'm sorry that your relationship didn't work out and that you were hurt. Maybe if couples felt they could go to couple's therapy they could succeed, and if we can reduce homophobia so that people do not have to live closeted or semi-closeted.
