Wait. Dew from the parallel universe got murdered. Or did I miss something? That's why Mum from the parallel universe came to see Dew from the main universe for one last time.

So, what you are saying is that the room for improvement, in your opinion, is "to remove realism," right?
- You listed everything Nut did wrong and said that it was not alright. Of course, it wasn't, and that's the point. To remove all this would be like, I don't know, to remove the rape scene from a plot that revolves around the aftermath of that rape. Nut could not possibly be a nice guy after what he had been through, and it wouldn't make any sense to show his childhood if you remove its aftermath.
- Next, Song being wary about Gen. It is usually how it goes after a massive heartbreak. The entire plot of the series is about healing and not about happy life afterward, and Song is not an exception.
- I knew several "cliche evil women who refuse to leave men alone who clearly don't love them" in RL. It's sad but accurate.
- The teacher had ten years to deal with her homophobia, so it wasn't that sudden. Though, it would've been nice to see the process of her evolution.
- "The mom made it sound like she caused her own mental illness and was blaming herself." Yep. It's what usually happens to people who suffer from severe depression -- they blame themselves for all unfortunate events in their life and then commit suicide.
- "Lack of consequences for several characters who did terrible things." Like who? Satjaree? She was stripped of the only thing she wanted to be with her -- Saen. Even more so, she caused him to be put in jail. It's hard to imagine any worse punishment (including the case when he's free and she's in prison). If you were talking about that corporate boss (Kaewchingduang), I would say that it was the point to let her get away with all this. It's what usually happens in RL to corporate executives in similar cases. Who else?
- "I don't know that I liked Nut's mom telling him everything. It felt like she was doing it to ease her guilty conscious instead of being helpful for Nut." Well, should she live just to be helpful to Nut? What if she's a human too? What if she always wanted to tell the truth but had been hiding it for all these years because she was afraid Nut would lose faith in his uncle -- the only relative Nut considered a good person?
- "The whole ending with Tofu feels icky, I wasn't blindsided like another well-known series, but he can see/hear everything and Nut doesn't know that." How would you fix that? Burn Tofu and not let him get back? But then what about him being there before he had become human? Isn't that the same?

Of course, Nut needs therapy. I'm not sure, though, why you gave him the benefit of the doubt. Did you expect him to be "healed by love"? It's not how it works IRL. His behavior IS the point, and it is the aftermath of what he had been through. However, funny how you pray for his mother, who turned him into what he became, but not him.

I think I know where you are coming from. Representation of more feminine gays and/or non-alpha male behavior in Thai BLs could've been better... a lot better! And that phrase: "I don't like men, I just like him," rubs many people the wrong way. However, it's too soon to judge this series because no one has said that yet. Flirting with a girl is not a crime and tells nothing about one's sexual orientation, wouldn't you agree? Anyway, it remains to be seen how they are going to deal with coming outs in this series, so it's too soon to give up on it. Another thing that we have to "thank" straight lady audience for is that in most Thai BLs, it's always apparent who's the top and who's the bottom (the reason for this is that switching roles is not something straight people can pull and, therefore, understand). At least in this series, there's no predefined top/bottom dynamic as of now, which is good (but it may come up later, though).

BTW, if you want to watch something that is more LGBTQI+ friendly, I recommend the Bad Buddy. There's no toxic masculinity, and one of the main characters is definitely on the more feminine and "beta" side. Moreover, they scored all points describing their sexual orientation without those toxic phrases. And both characters are portrayed as versatile in terms of their sex role.
