Not a Robot

PTSA voted in a uniform t-shirt at a public school because many students come from large families, and there were many families who did not have the financial resources to wear expensive clothes. Since it was public school, there was an opt out option, but most students wore the uniform shirts. All these years later, kids at that school are still wearing the t-shirts.

I don't agree with the violent attempts made toward the protestors, but the Principal is blaming the staff for a situation under her control. This last episode showed the adults are under pressure too.

I like how this show represents how teens actually think. They state one of their complaints is about the uniform not being suitable for the climate, and you show up in sweaters. They also wear designer clothing that many scholarship students would not be able to afford, yet say they are for equality.

I also can't stand that the Principal is such a jerk. If she is worried about the situation, she is the person in charge. She has the power and authority to put the kids on probation or expel them, especially since it's a private school. I know people who got kicked out of private school for getting pregnant and keeping their baby, so I know they have the power. I like this show, and enjoy the internal conflicts and struggles each of the characters have to face. I get a little frustrated with both the adults and kids in this series when they are so siloed.

There's nothing wrong with an age gap, when Peak is 18 and at university or working, and Hom is 25, but right now, he is a minor and she is an adult. Hom understands that now isn't the right time, but she hasn't denied her feelings toward him. I wonder if a man wrote this script because in real life, Hom's friend would not keep trying to push the Peak on her. A child in high school has a different focus than an adult. As a child, there would be an imbalance in their relationship. He is still too immature based on his reaction to her letting him down. He got angry, accused her of not taking his feelings seriously, when it was obvious to me (an adult) that she was taking his feelings seriously, which is why she had to give him a boundary. If she did not take him seriously, she would have let him continue to chase her like a puppy. Yet as with most teenagers, he doesn't have the emotional maturity to see how much pain Hom was in, and how conflicted she was. How Peak handles this will determine if they can every be a couple in the future. Hom also needs a person to depend on.

I loved this series. I'm happy that there were fantasy elements and the new universe. The only weakness was, using Ohm and Nanon as the other couple because it distracted viewers so much from the series. Since Tess and Pakon's story had so many loose ends, maybe it's a setup for a new series with Ohm and Nanon. We never find out why Pakon kept running away from Tess What was unbelievable is that Talay just didn't seem that happy to see his mom after 2 years. I know most people would be overjoyed at seeing their family and friends, but they seemed to miss the alt universe more.

If they wanted to stay true to the story, they would not have made gender swaps. It's insulting to both the real persons and to women in general. It's kind of like fake affirmative action. The strength of the mothers and other women in the community were considered less than, so we needed to make sure women were in "power" positions, and of course, were always 100% correct. It's kind of similar to stolen valor, and led me to fast forward through some of the kween moments in this series.

It's a shame that Beam passed away at such a young age. He and Ek, were the best actors in this series. Beam had many years of work ahead of him. RIP.

I have a family member who is co-dependent. Serial dater, has one claw into one guy before letting go of the other. If you like rock, she likes rock, if you like rap, she likes rap. Must call her 20 times a day. To me, she is the gold standard for co-dependent. Eiw isn't even close.

I'm from the US and I love it, but I understand, and hope you can move home soon. I wouldn't want to be stuck in a country I hated. I wouldn't want my taxes paying for a monarch who wanted to be a tampon, as he stated in his recorded phone calls with Camilla, but the people in the UK don't seem to mind. As messed up as the US can be, both the UK and Japan had public assassinations in 2021, and 2022 respectively. No country is perfect, but I prefer the diversity of the US, that's what I'm comfortable with. No hard feelings.

Even today, international phone calls are 25 cents per minute, and since they didn't have smartphones, they would not be able to keep in touch with apps like they could today. They could use AIM or in this case MSM, but there is about a 14 hour time difference depending on the state, so they wouldn't really be able to talk like they do now.

I agree that Cake is dependent too, or else Eiw would have been the first person he told about the move. I'm thinking that it's taking him a while to realize what he feels is love, just like it took Eiw watching the movie to put a word to his feelings.

Twenty years ago, neither of them would have had a gay person to confide in, unless someone is their family happened to be gay. If Hom is having an internal battle over dating someone a few years younger, Cake and Eiw must be struggling too. I know that some people do not like Eiw, but I have known guys like Eiw growing up. They were not gay, but they were smaller, not coordinated and not traditionally handsome. I think that Earth is doing a great job making me remember kids like Eiw. It will be interesting to see if Cake comes back to Thailand with a different perspective after being in the states for 3 years.

You're not paying attention enough. We watched the first few episodes where Pakon was running away from Tess anytime he saw him. Then to go from managing him 2 years prior, ending on bad terms to a hug. Then how Tess responded to Puen. They don't seem close at all.

I forgot about that guy. I'm only puzzled because it seemed like Pakorn was so happy and hugged Tess, which made me believe they were close in the other universe. Tess' response to Puen was not very enthusiastic.

Will they ever explain why only Tess remained unchanged? It looks like everyone else learned from their experience, except Tess.

When your best friend moves during childhood, it's rather devastating. Add in that Eiw loves Cake, and I think the feelings are mutual. It would be a sad event, regardless of opportunities because in high school, your friends are your life. They have internet access, so they can keep in touch, but they will both be busy. I guess that I'll be sad during the upcoming episodes. I do hope they will get their happy ending.

Nevermind. Posted in the wrong place.

It was sad when a person moved to another neighborhood. It hurts when you're still not an adult, but not a child either.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed their sex scenes too, and but I felt they communicated intimacy as well. Maybe Boss and Noeul made an agreement to flow with the characters' feelings, and it really showed on screen.

I keep waiting for Ayan's dam to break. Even though his classmates don't know it, he's under a lot of pressure right now. If Ayan would be vulnerable, Akk would not push back.

I think after the shared moment on the stairwell, they are no longer rivals. Inviting tag-a-longs happens in real life too. I have a friend to invites others all the time. With this person, I always tell them to make sure they know I'm coming. There's just people who are like that.

The intimate scenes between Boss and Noeul are some of the most natural that I've seen outside of out of the closet gay/bi actors. I'm not talking about the sex scene, but the moments in between. They do not hug from 10 feet away and when Rain looks at Phayu, I could feel the character was in love with Phayu. Noeul and Boss were fantastic this episode. This is how to play two guys in love.

Phai didn't get the info he was looking for yet, but next week it looks like the Phai and Sky arc will start.

Yes, because the trolling was over saying Kim In-hyeok wore makeup, was gay and did porn, all of which he denied. He could no longer take it after years of abuse. He even asked them to stop, but of course, they didn't. Even if all of it were true so what? Even on this board, the criticisms about Earth/Eiw's voice, mannerisms, etc., are almost always due to being overly feminine.

If I figure it out, I will let you know. You're correct the have been BL since ancient times, I've seen murals, mosaics, and shunga. Just like lesbian erotica has Sappho. I hope the hate ends soon too, because you're right, if Earth hurts himself, it would be just awful. I just think of that Korean volleyball player who was bullied to death, but at least people called netizens out. Athletes usually have stronger mental acuity, especially a professional athlete, but I guess everyone has their breaking point.
