The latest episode was an acting tour-de-force for both Pond and Nike.

Seriously some of the viewers' emotional intelligence is on the level of a 12 years old muppet with comprehension skills to match.

The investor is not homophobic. He has a gay son about whom he deeply cares, his wife is the one who cannot accept the situation. He probably chose to support an LGBT friendly restaurant on purpose (because of his son), he only chickened out now, because the owner made a coming out and he does not want to have battle with his wife over this.
It is not confirmed if he was there with is wife, they more seem to be like friends and/or fellow investors, especially since the plac e is full of people clearly from the LGBT scene.

You cannot look for another main sponsor days before the grand opening, and the leader of a franchise restaurant chain with many emploees cannot just say "I do whatever I want, if you are jobless tomorrow, fuck cares". Tons of livelihoods depend on Damien, goodness me. He still has to find a solution while he knows Jerry cannot delete the videos with him, he needs to keep smiling with the investors with this in his mind, and then Celine announces her departure out of blue, plus Jerry does not go to the grand opening. Damian is under extreme pressure, of course he breaks down and lashes out.

And bringing up a kid in an alternative family and make your microenvironment gradually accept it and get used to it, and putting your kid up to the cyber space via an online channel, make him vulnerable in a much wider spectre in the 21st century social media conditions in a country which is reasonably progressive in terms of LGBT rights when it comes to same sex couples. but still rather rigid and inflexible about rainbow families and regards surrogate motherhood as deeply taboo are two different things.

Damian agrees with Jerry about the mission of his channel, he was proud of him and he supported him, now he is conflicted because too many pressures appeared and he has to satisfy too many parties around him. I am not saying Jerry is not right that they have to stand up for who they are and against the pressures, but Damian has a point too. It is a very delicate balance and a valid dilemma how far you can go with this. It is ok to be a fighter for yourself, but do you have the right to make your 6 years old kid an object of your fight publicly, no matter how important it is.

This season is excellent primarily for showing such realistic situations where the dilemma is real and both viewpoints could be argued for, but it obvioulsy requires a more adult, less black and white, one-dimensional, tribal way of thinking than some of the MDL board viwers have.

A magnificent, beautiful, breathtaking little masterpiece with a bravura finale. Hats off to MindTrio again.

I spotted him straight away too

Here in the UK it is legal, assuming it is non-commercial, and as far as I know that is the case in several other European countries too. Also there are some countries in Europe where it is simply not regulated in any form.

Surrogate motherhood is somehow a red cloth for the Chinese mentality, and that is a hard sell even for the otherwise LGBT-friendly and more open minded Taiwanese.

The cheating part was not addressed to you. As for the rest, it is not his business Damian only cares about, what happened to Kai at the playground worried him a lot and what more may come. He has to consider many viewpoints, loads of lives depend on him. But this board has always been knee deep in black and white Damian-bashing since day one, I don't know what I still expect from MDL indeed.

10 seconds scroll back.

At least you should know what cheating is. If someone takes advantage at you when you are so drunk you nearly throw up it is not.

Extremely one-sided and biased take on their relationship. I have detailed this earlier, I am not gonna repeat myself.

No. He got drunk in a difficult stage in his life. If you check the teaser it is gonna happen to Jerry as well.

She is a person who tries to be in semi-denial and living in the fantasy world she creates in daylight and her honest, tormented and upfront personality comes to the surface when she is drunk.

She did not mean the "right path" that way. She is quite clueless about his son's sexual orientation or at least she is in denial. What she was more likely to mean is that she expects In to "domesticate" Wang out of his rebellious nature.

Before improvidently throwing around insults like "coward", it is worth considering
- especially if someone calls themselves an ally - that the whole thing took place twentysomething years ago in a completely different society.

She is not exactly homophobic. She certainly has grudges about the gays, but that has more to do with her own personal history of marrying a gay guy. Without that she would not be like this.

That is what Sasiwimiol started to tell In the night she was drunk. On the night when Siam drove away from her and died in a car accident, she wanted to tell him she knew he was gay.

OMG. Giving him a Plato book. What a brilliant reference. I just cannot tell how much I love this masterpiece.

Meen and Rossi are Bangkok-based too, as far as I know. They both act in other big productions in supporting roles (I hope they get leading roles soon). And MindTrio is a Bangkok company too, I guess. Most of their shows were filmed in Bangkok. They definitely beat many big studios with their content.

Chiang Mai is a fantastic place. I thoroughly enjoyed myself when I was there. I have been walking around that gate a lot too. They have an amazing night market too.

Some arguments from the moaners would not hurt for a change, but I have not seen one so far. Repeating that it is "confusing" and "artsy" are not ones. But MDL does not matter, thank god. This series is popular, MindTrio has reached its highest number of followers and views thanks to this.
