Also, as a non-Thai viewer, I have the FOMO with this even then. There are so many references that I will not have picked up but Thai people will and find funny. I am so envious that they will probably enjoy this more than others.

I understand you where you're coming from and also understand why others including myself find the 'comedy' funny and you may not. I'm mixed race and have spent a significant part of my life in an Asian country and a '1st world' country. I feel like the best humour or the ones that leave the most impact are the ones that require you to have context. The kind of humour that appeals in one region of a country may not be the kind of humour that appeals to someone in another region of the same country let alone internationally. For example, Britons are usually associated with the dry, sarcastic, self depreciating and dark kind of humour that they think a lot of Americans don't understand or find funny. Hence, even though the initial episodes were pretty similar, the American version of The Office was written differently to the British one though both were successful. If two countries, that at least, on a superficial level are very similar in culture and share the same official language cannot get each others humour, what do you expect of a production from a country that is probably very different to one's own? When watching something like Me and Thee, I have the privilege of watching from both of my ethnicities' point of view. When I watched Fish Upon The Sky, I did not find it funny at all and pretty much crass with all the 'poop' humour that it irritated me. However, I'm assuming in Thailand, this is considered funny. One of my friends is Bengali and she said discussing discussing ablutions during meals is a common trait among some Bengali families so she found it relatable and funny. Me and Thee appeals to the majority because it is satirical. I imagine in a lot of countries TV serials, daily soaps or whatever they are called are very melodramatic. Indian TV serials have illiterate daughters in law wash things in the swimming pool water and hanging laptops on a line to dry afterwards. You also have the matriarch of the family slapping the daughter in law so hard that it is shown 10 times on repeat with dramatic music and then the impulse being so hard too such that the daughter in law finds herself right next to a curtain and the curtain strangles her. Spanish telenovelas and Filipino teleserye are also very unrealistic. Most of the plots use the Cinderella premise as well. Rich young man hates poor innocent woman the grows to love her blah blah blah. You wouldn't see something like that in the UK or the USA, it would be review bombed and cancelled ASAP(not that I'm criticising that). This is why Me and Thee appeals to a large proportion of the world's population. It strikes a chord with what they find nostalgic and also allows them to laugh at themselves for enjoying TV shows that the would probably find illogical today. Another reason people probably find this funny is because specifically Pond is playing Thee's character. The audience already thinks that Pond is very similar to Thee, so him playing the character, I guess makes them feel like they know him more intimately???

I feel like GMMTV have done the most injustice to PerthSanta themselves on this one. If their subplot made sense and they didn't get back together, I feel like it would've been more impactful anyway.

Rating a series based on who's in it is one of the many problems of kisskh. One should rate it for the whole thing in order to encourage better work not give anyone the confidence they can get away with anything.

Or cliffhangers...Leap Day being one of them

I agree but GMMTV being GMMTV...

Unpopular opinion: Mok saved today's episode

Love this! 'Some characters suck & you let them rot.'

The Dark Room kiss was very well executed and the scene after Thee assures Peach that he needn't worry about being raised in an orphanage would've been sufficient and makes sense...Everything after that seemed like they were making negative progress 😂 I laugh trying to think about how that's even possible 😂

Hopefully! It did feel good to have a Thai BL have such a high rating! Felt so proud😂 If it weren't for the botched final episodes...I guess we cannot really have everything

You know what would have been a good additional subplot with some depth other than these lousy ones they've squeezed in would have been? Thee understanding that Peach has PTSD and encouraging him to get the help he needs via counselling or therapy with regards to his past.

😂

I mean, I know a lot of people wouldn't be able to differentiate between a full English and an American breakfast but the fried chicken and french fries at the Italian restaurant sent me over the edge😂 Like what the heck?

I know right! The way Peach was saying 'I know you wouldn't if you weren't desperate! It's OK, it's OK' was just dumb

This is going to sound pessimistic and I think a lot of people aren't gonna like this but I think the rating will go down after these final episodes...I didn't know how to articulate it but you have worded it so well! The first few episodes were so strong, the middle episodes seemed like a filler and now they've rushed the ending with tying the ends of so many subplots that was just not necessary (sorry for reiterating!). I was OK with the parents not providing melodrama in the series because I had anticipated that from the novel and honestly it is sooo last season😂 (seen it with all the 2010s dramas, ugh) but I agree with most of the other users with forcing a happy ending for TawanAran but GMMTV was probably afraid of the fans' reactions if Tawan was irredeemable. I usually don't like commenting on or criticising intimate scenes but they are REALLY underwhelming especially at a later stage in a relationship. I completely understand when actors aren't comfortable with doing such scenes which is perfectly fine, so, don't have them then! I'd rather have none than poorly done ones...There are so many dramas that have little to no intimate scenes that do extremely well if it has a good enough plot which this series definitely had anyway!
Yeah, and the Shohei sublot was soo 'Hi Tatsuya...Bye Tatsuya' coded.

I know right! It seems so silly to notice such little things but dude I swear I saw fried chicken and french fries being served at the supposedly luxury Italian restaurant in one of the earlier episodes too!😂😂😂

The drop in quality between the first and second season is ridiculous! The episodes are getting more and more incoherent and I feel like the only way you would understand everything that's going on is by reading the book. Usually, when you adapt a book for TV, you wouldn't need to necessarily read the book to understand the plot. It jumps here, there and everywhere, randomly throwing in bits of information about all the characters making you wonder 'Where the hell did that come from?' Also is it just me getting the ick from the fact that Keifer and Yuri fell for the same girl not twice but thrice! I'm sorry but that is just disgusting! Also, I seem to dislike Jay-jay even more after yesterday's episode! I feel like she constantly overlooks how toxic the guys are in Section E and remains friends with them? I mean, I get they are probably her only friends, but is she not fundamentally a woman herself? At least, if not for herself, she should have some respect for fellow women!

I think I share the same taste as you...Never Let Me Go is nearly everyone's second favourite, if not, favourite PondPhuwin series so I thought I was weird but it is MY least favourite.

Really random but do all the male GMMTV artists+Emi get given the cockroach antenna hairstyle?
