Not a Robot

I disliked 5-6. I felt that Phat was stringing Mok along. Even though he was honest with Mok, he still spent time with him, while seeing his ex, who abused him as well. I cannot support a redemption arc for an abuser who has not go through long-term treatment.

I've seen so many men do similar behavior toward women, as Phat, and women who act like Mok, so it made me root against them as a couple. The last straw was when Mok was groveling on the floor, trying to make Phat smile. I wanted Mok to get up, walk to his room and although hurt, decide to find someone worth of him. Honestly, if I were the sister, I would have cussed both of them out. I'm shocked that she her "tarot predictions" were more important to her. Maybe they will break up soon since the final scene was like two bros talking.

When people have their favorites, they will have strong opinions about them. I went to the KP board before it started and there were trolls there. The toxic police were patrolling after they finished their rounds on the Cutie Pie board, but they got shut down by the majority. I did not go to the KP board after it started to air because there were too many spoilers. but I know other commented that the viewers really got along there. Don't log off and you should express your opinion. This show is purposely toxic, all of the characters suck at times, and all of them make human mistakes.

Neo has been excellent in everything since My Tee, and he has chemistry with all of his acting partners. Mark was also very good in Moonlight Chicken. So I agree with you.

I'm too old to watch this show with a minor, but if I were a younger adult watching with a minor or a sibling, I would explain how all of these decisions are ending up in disaster for these characters. I have worked with younger people through the prison system, and almost all of them have some type of chronic trauma in their lives. I know these guys are not inmates, and in fact mostly come from wealth, but so far, most of them have experienced chronic trauma. Mew seems to be the exception, but maybe Top and Ton betraying him set off his desire for revenge, which is like a drug. Real life is confusing to minors. I come for a lower class background and by the teen years we know that people do not always get punished or held accountable for bad things. In fact, some of our peers were already running the streets. If the minor comes from a healthy background, these issues can be explained, and how the consequences can be emotionally bad, or legally bad. If the minor is from the rougher side of town, they have to be taught early that they are valuable, even if their parents are addict, or sadly, abusive. A huge mistake many social workers make is pushing university as the only solution. Not everyone has the capacity for university. Sorry so long winded. I hope that I answered your question.

Not unpopular opinion - this week. I understand your frustration. Many people get frustrated by addicts. Maybe some people are more forgiving of Ray because addiction is now widely accepted as a disease by medical communities, and a lot of us know people who are in recovery. Many people in their addiction do not evolve, rather they evolve very slowly, and many experience arrested development. So you may have a 40 year old who still acts like a 15 year old emotionally. Khaotung's acting may elicit some sort of empathy due to his skill.

I think it's 2 years if drafted, 1 year if a volunteer. I think it's even shorter if you volunteer and have some type of degree.

I have the same question, but I will watch it when they upload the subs to YouTube. Hopefully they don't cut that scene out.

Some people do the high school service as stated by another poster, like Drake when he was doing My Tee and Boom when he was doing Make it Right. When a male turns 21, the rest of the men go back to their hometown and participate in a draft lottery. They give the men an option to volunteer, but if they do not meet their quota, they have a lottery. If they pull a red card, they are drafted. I think volunteering gives you less time in the army, but I'm not sure. You will see monks, transgender women, etc. I'm not sure, but they may excuse the transwomen, but you'll have to fact check that. If you go to YouTube and search for Thailand military draft, you will find many videos. It's a very interesting process.

Frank looks very handsome with his military haircut. I wish they would just let him use his natural hair.

I was wondering about that too. Frank also got a red card, and he is still acting while in the Army.

I think that Mew has already hurt them. Since we don't know what's on the drive, he could have possibly played a sex tape for Ton's father. Maybe he was bluffing, but even shady Ton did not involve family. Top is a mess. In the original trailer, it shows Top downing a handful of pills. Everyone hates Ton, and Ton now does not even have Nick to console him, Ton's fault though. Mew manipulated Nick and used Gap to get the video, albeit in a far fetched scenario. Now he is rebounding with Ray, a man he even threatened to cut off a friendship with if he kept pressing the dating issue. I know that Top and Ton brought it on themselves. I think Ray is relatable because I know so many adult children of alcoholics/addicts/mental illness who are co-dependent like him, but I empathize with Mew, so I don't want to see him lose his soul over dumb jerks like Top and Ton. I actually don't care if Ray sleeps with both Sand and Mew, or if Mew sleeps with Ray and Top. I'm not into cheating, even in fiction, but there is not one pure character in this series.

I have to admit, I did not watch the preview. Thank sucks,

Ray is codependent, like many adult children of alcoholics. I agree that Ray knows he is a rebound, but he is still being used. I hope that Ray finds that unacceptable before Sand moves on.

Ray is mostly alone, and now Mew is going to use him. Ray is an adult child of an alcoholic and most of my friends in that situation, are at least a little messed up with it comes to inter-personal relationships. Ray's codependent relationship with Mew, a man who just told him that he isn't the right one for him, keeps showing Ray as his own enemy. To me, Ray's life has already crashed and burned with the death of his alcoholic mother. Everything else is just chump changed compared to that.

The Mew type person is scary because once you hurt them, they will hurt you back 10 fold. I only hope that he realizes that he needs to not get addicted to the feelings that revenge brings. It is unacceptable to use others (Ray) just as Mew was used by Ton.

Thanks for the info. I get tired of the memory loss trope, especially since this couple has enough to battle.

These are some hidden agendas. Joke liking Zo, how Zo feels like he must the top at everything to please his mother including winning the study abroad award, instead of just focusing on the love of speech and debate. Joke has always been raised to feel that he is a failure, so he does things like join the debate to make his father proud. Pok and Jeng being on the low,. We don't know Nita's hidden agenda, maybe it was to study abroad.

I loved this coming of age story. I loved how neither family were bothered about the closeness of Zo and Joke's relationship, which shows a nice change for an Asian family. Also the message of your Asian parents loving you despite how you see your own accomplishments, is a very powerful message for those of us who come from Asian families. We "know" this, but are rarely "told" this. Not all powerful messages need to be wrapped in melodrama.

In case you get hate, I really liked this series too. It shows the struggles that some people go through on their journey to full fledged adulthood. MDL is emo, always calling the waaaahbulance, but says jack $h!t about the fact that neither family is bothered by Zo and Joke's relationship.
