Unfortunately, I was that kid who swallowed my own authenticity whole, suffocating on it in the relentless pursuit of likeability. The more they bullied, the harder I tried to mold myself into what I thought they wanted. An exhausting cycle that followed me into adulthood. Jobs, dating, money, it was all just variations on the same theme; be this, but not too much; be that, but not too little.
By the time I stumbled into the so called ‘mature’ (LOL) decades, I found myself half mad, sprinting into a frozen field just to scream. No Mr. Darcy appearing on the horizon to rescue me. My Lunar and Saturn Return both collectively singing, having fun?
This show has been a long running reminder of that feeling. (I suspect My Stubborn might stir it up again.) It happens occasionally but this time, it hit particularly hard ~Throw back to the 3am doom scrolling in the early episodes of people posting poo emojis.
And you know what? People don’t have to like it and you don’t have to care. Besides, there a wildly popular shows, things in general in life, that I don't care for. So we're even. No bitterness needed.
At the end of the day, your joy is yours alone, no justification required. So watch, enjoy, indulge. And if someone has a problem with that? Well, that's theirs to deal with, not yours.
This one was a lesson for me personally. A recap session for my inner 12 year old who wasn’t heard. This time, I listened. I sat. I brought tea and cookies, and I braided her hair with feathers and butterfly clips.
If you're on a similar path I was, make this your mantra - Embrace what speaks to you. No validation required. No permission needed. Just joy in whatever form it takes, even if it has you craving pasta every Wednesday night for 3 months LOL
Also by the way, there's no such thing as a grown up. The 'mature' season of life is a trap to be even more boring 😜Rebel I say.
This show said, you'll never see it coming, and honestly, I appreciate that. I guess my way through a show like a detective so that this show is laughing in my face every week, I'm impressed LOL Even if I did though, I'd still be watching for Off because, damn he's pretty <3 I wonder if the Boss of Destiny is Chan's ex wife? LOL Because that feels like a final boss scenario
Considering how jealous Sorn gets seeing men touching Jun, on a scale from pissed to nuclear rage, how angry will Sorn be when Jun comes on to his brother next week? 😂
I hope it doesn't either. I want to see Jun put up more of a fight now. We're now half way so, we should be seeing some deeper cracks now. Maybe....hopefully 😂
A moment's silence for Sorn's face when he asked Jun if he liked bears now 😂 I want to think that Jun purposefully twisted the knife during that conversation 😂 ~~ Oh NO wait . He absolutely did. There was a quick smirk when he told Sorn he had a date after he was stood up LOL I like this side of Jun, I would like to see more of this Jun
At this point, I’m convinced the producers have a stopwatch for how quickly they can derail the plot into chaos 😂 Seriously, this show double as a drinking game. Everyone guess the length of time it takes an NC scene to appear, like guessing your grocery bill only it's how long it takes Sorn exhibit peak Sorn behaviour 😂
I'm noticing a trend that it always happens at the start of the episode. I feel like I should start counting the minutes to see which ep goes the longest without Sorn getting kinky lol
I had high hopes for Sorn and Jun, but instead, I was treated to an unexpected buffet of nipple fondling and feline cuisine 😂 Sorn is ready to propose at any given moment though so I will patiently, tea in hand to sip, to watch the disaster rise and fall, and Sorn to emotional ambush Jun mid-sandwich with his grand proposal with the rest of the office cheering them on. If Bed Friend can end that way, this one should too 😂
Well, I’ll be damned. Mere days ago, I half jokingly speculated that Sorn and Jun will take their sexual adventures into the office but before they could even clear the desk, JunePenny swooped in and stole the show. Straight up...NO, GAY UP, beat them to it 😂
At this point, it’s scientific fact - Sorn just needs a hug. Preferably from Jun. Unfortunately, they're operating in entirely different love languages and Sorn is running through them all to get Jun's attention and devotion.
Sorn’s primary love language is clearly, physical touch, with some notable proficiency in acts of service and extravagant gift-giving. He’s attempting quality time but his actions are less ‘thoughtful connection’ and more ‘territorial overlord.’ He's just squeezing the life out of Jun's happy go lucky attitude.
Meanwhile, I'd place my bets on words of affirmation for Jun, the one dialect Sorn remains blissfully ignorant of. Add in the minor inconvenience of Sorn treating their relationship as a casual arrangement and we have a disaster waiting to unfold.
I foresee spectacular levels of emotional mayhem that will probably leave Jun sobbing on the staircase, again, And Sorn being promptly dispatched to Vietnam by Thai in some blown out of proportion levels of misunderstanding. Only then, will Sorn learn emotional intelligence.
I hope it's as glorious as it is in my head 😂
Having just typed that, when Thai was asking Jun about Jom, does he know, or at least suspect that Sorn has a deep raging attraction to Jun and wants to carry him off to the bridal chamber, yesterday? 😂
I'm a serial dropper and probably overly critical but this show is just fun. Shows like this don't make it past episode 1, and I dont watch for sex scenes, and yet I am genuinely enjoying this one. Sometimes there is no reason for liking something. Sometimes you're just genuinely amused by things.
I like how the comment section is now calling the three boys, 'The Rascals' LOL They got the little monkey imagery, twice, or thrice if you count the mango scene, in this episode. They're little sh!ts but they're not vindictive.
So… is anyone else getting slightly “moral rehab but make it BL” vibes from My Sweetheart Jom? Because Yothin…
Countryside conversion arc ~ ahhh, that's the word i was looking for when my blood came to a low boil LOL I can handle hurt teenagers acting out. It's the air of moral superiority that triggers my fight or flight response LOL
I'm glad to see it's not just me. I'm not sure how to feel, other than angry for Yoh. The narrative has emotional…
It's the burden of knowing, that sucks. We understand why he's in the situation he's in so it's hard to listen to these lessons on morality when we know it's not that simple. I'll hold out to see if they can balance each other out. I'm assuming that's where we're headed in their relationship and whatever tragic past Jom has, but until then, I'm sneering at everyone 😂except for the boys. They're ok, i can deal with them.
I'm glad to see it's not just me. I'm not sure how to feel, other than angry for Yoh. The narrative has emotional led me along with Yoh, so this 'schooling' just feels like further victimization to me. But then I dont like being told what to do and think either so, I feel the victimization a little too intensely to feel comfortable with the other characters right now LOL If I were Yoh, everyone in this show would be getting the silent treatment from me, indefinitely
