This reincarnation has always been a popular theory since day one, but the problem with it is that the Teddy bear woke up the day Nut locked himself up in his room, and Tarn has been healthy and well back then for about 10 more years. The teddy has been materialized as Tofu when Tarn was defibrillated.

"I want to tell them that the country that exports shows about boys’ love, has the prettiest transgender people, and has gay couples as net idols, doesn’t support the rights for those people, as they aren’t truly accepted there."

This was quoted before and I agree this is a great line from the show, I loved it. But at the same time I feel we are a bit impatient and unfait with Southeastern Asia. As to my best knowledge the latest attempt of legalizing same sex civic partnership was passed by the government in Thailand and was eventually blocked by the conservative National Assemby only. So there are steps being taken.

And let's be honest, the civilised Western world is a fairly late comer in this legal recognition department too. Even the super liberal and hyper progressive Netherlands that first legalized same sex marriage in the world did it in 2001 only. It was not an awful long time ago.

I live in the UK, but I was born and bred in an Eastern European country, and I have to tell you the Southeastern Asian countries are a lot LGBT-friendlier than Eastern Europe. And that includes South Korea too.

What I am talking about is the lack of emapthy. Anyone in Nut's shoes would be conflicted in a situation like this, but just becasue people are succumbed to the perfection of Tofu, this very real and understandable dilemma is not allowed for Nut.

Thailand in general is a fairly LGBT-friendly country but they still have bigots, especially in the countryisde. The latter is not unusual in Western countries either. My ex bf was Thai, he lives in Bangkok and he has had absolutely no problems with his identity in everyday life.

Once again people are judging Nut knee jerk. He is constantly falling from one shocking and heart-wrenching situation to another, and no one gives him the benefit of doubt or the right to be uncertain in situations that would make anyone uncertain.

What about forming your own opinion and following your line of interest instead of relying on what others think?

This could also be in the past, before the Teddy bear came to life, that Tharn authorized Tofu (with the features of Nueng, still not explained why) to take care of Nut.

And then what? Every single mammal is capable of that. That is not a merit on its own. I hate to break it to you but there are other cultures, when hitting a child is a criminal offence, for example, because your child is not your property. So before lecturing others about cultural sensitivity learn about that yourself first, and above all squeeze into your skull that your culture is not superior, let alone not normative for others. So back the feck up with your exclamation marks, you are not in the position to tell anyone what is "no-no". Your subjective opinion is one in a million.

He lied because he did not want to tell Nut he had been informed about Tarn's condition from Phrippri (probably weeks before their trip to Chiang Mai) but he kept that hidden from Nut. Tofu might have chosen this destination for their holiday with that purpose in the first place.

I guess Jan is behind the attack of Tarn. She probably hired a few thugs to attack him, so she can take over the heritage, and masqueraded the whole case as a politically motivated assassination. A revelation of that might free Saen from her in a way, who might be somehow involved too, I don't know to what extent. His conversation with Tarn was a bit amigious. I have a feeling that Sib's death was not natural either (he was too young), but he could not have been involved in the same case, as it was confirmed he died at the time or before Nut went to college (still not soon enough). If he had a heart attack, I hope he was inert, invalidd and shitting under himself in his bed for a while, Bit murder would be even better.

And why is that a no-no? Becasue you say so? Bullshit. More parents should be yelled at in Asian dramas tbf. Some of you seem to think that being a mother/father is a free pass for anything.

Take your meds first or what is even better, call the night nurse.

If you think two punches are excessive, just go and watch a straight Thai lakorn, where men and women consistently hit, slap and punch each other vice-versa. That is the infuriating double standard again, just beacause it is an LGBT relationship, everything is unforgivable and unredeemable. I am sick of this. And btw the point is not that. Nut's behaviour is being called out all the time, so stating that the problem is not addressed is simply not true. If you cannot watch scenes like that (not an easy watch for anyone, for sure) then say that, but you confound this with the problem being not addressed. The general comprehension problem of this and any other boards in terms of dramas that people think if something is shown that equals to condoning.

He said on numerous occasions. And just like I said, if the cap fits. It was not addressed to you.

What the sodding, fecking hell do need to be addressed even more than that? No one around Nut condones his behaviour, he is constantly being called to account, repeatedly by Ken, for instance. Even he himself is fully aware that what he is doing is wrong and he always admits that straight away. Sorry but I am so done with this sanctimonious whining from some folks (not you - if the cap fits).

The healing process of a troubled person who was tortured for decades by his entire environment, including his parents (yes, in a passive way by his mom too, so his anger is not misplaced at all) do not get over their resentment, angst and rage deeply rooted inside of their trapped, frustrated and repressed souls so quickly.
Nut had to repress himself from what he is in his entire life, and he is full of anger because of that. This does not change overnight and lapses back to his previous state of mind - especially since he has trust issues too and his mother has not done anything so far to console him that she is OK with him and Tofu - are totally realistic and logical.
Nothing is dragged and he is not irredeemable, in fact he is on his way to recover with all the necessary ups and downs of this difficult journey. But some of the viewers expect the screenwriters to abandon logic and skip these unpleasant stations of Nut's healing process, just because they are triggered by his behaviour and they wanna see lovey-dovey instead. That is beyond ridiculous and childish. This is a serious and hard-hitting adult drama, not a nursery for the faint-hearted. If you cannot take strong stuff like this, then it is ok, go and watch something else. But don't expect the filmmakers to shit on what is most precious about this show: logic and realism - purely for the sake of your peace of mind.

But the stuff falling asleep forever usually come when the owner is about to die, not the other way around. If Tarn is about to wake up that should be the sign of Tofu not going back to be a Teddy bear again. But honestly I still don't get why since it is Nut who is his owner and not Tarn, even though Tarn gave him to Nut.

OMFG!

I have just realized there is a strong Little Prince reference. And that is how Na called Tofu at the beginning too.

The Little Prince asks the snake to bite him at the end of the novel so he could return to his home planet, and just before that he is consoling the aeroplane pilot that it is gonna seem like he dies only.

Are we sure the novel ends as one of the commenters claimed below? As I have seen it is not a direct source and even the person did not seem to be very sure of that.

I am still very uncertain about the endgame but there are increasing signs and hints Tofu may not return to his Teddy Bear format.

- He is becoming more and more human and he is gradually emphasising in his monologues how much he loves and understands now the human nature, and that he does not wanna be a Teddy bear anymore (unlike he did at the beginning).
- Nut keeps repeating Tofu should promise to stay by his side forever and Tofu repeatedly promises he stays with him.
- Tofu realized he needs to find Tarn not to fall asleep forever (like the furnitures and objects) so he wants to live. (Why is that Tarn instead of Nut, becasue Nut has been his owner and not Tarn is rather baffling , though).
- In episode 10 it was pointed out - purposefully, I guess - that Nut is over his first love, even though he affectionately remembers to it. Tarn's ambigious facebook/IG posts are distracting though.

Of course, these might be just red herrings as well to trick us.
