This is the most disingenuous, guilt-tripping and gaslighting argument to label the Pin-critics ever. Whatever…
Seriously, it is getting more and more ridiculous. You do exactly what you accuse others. You are hell bent on justifying her actions because she is a woman. The difference between SS's actions an hers are qualitative, just like I elaborated, but you keep ignoring this important factor because it does not suit your agenda. Like Paolo said above, her pain might have been understandable in the heat of the moment, but she kept going on and on, and she refused to backtrack even when she saw Saenkaew covered in blood and beaten up and getting to know that Sasin was in life-threatening danger and he was nearly killed by Kamfah. She put herself and her delusion above everyone else, and that is a lot more serious character flaw than what SS ever committed against her, if any.
There's this fascinating thing going on in the comments which I just realised - for many here, the men's emotions…
This is the most disingenuous, guilt-tripping and gaslighting argument to label the Pin-critics ever.
Whatever Sasin and Saenkaew did was out of pure good faith and by not involving Pin into their plan their attempt was to moderate her pain when the truth comes out about them being in love. It is debatable whether it was a good choice, and one can rightfully argue they should have told her much sooner, but Sasin and Saenkaew never wanted to hurt her.
Pin, on the other hand, when she learnt about the truth decided to take revenge on them and make them suffer. She did not only make steps top prevent their escape but apparently did not care they were both beaten up and Sasin nearly killed because of what she did.
This is a qualitative difference, nothing on earth to do with their sex, really not that deep for anyone with half a brain. Btw most people felt sorry for Pin when she felt hurt, they started to resent her when she decided to be vengeful and selfish, forcing a gay man to marry her and destroy their relationship.
Some of you just keep crawling up to the glass wall to defend her actions like no tomorrow.
You will be soon told that you don't respect the Asian filial piety tradition by not justifying parental abuse…
My other favourite, apart from this kicking the gun away and leaving the gun and the punched Bodin behind was when Saenkaew just threw Sasin's love letter to the rubbish bin. He should have framed it and put it on the wall before he left, that might have been less obvious.
I'm sorry. But that ending sucked! Here are my reasons why:1) The story allowed for a redemption arc for Prince…
You will be soon told that you don't respect the Asian filial piety tradition by not justifying parental abuse and attempted murder dictated by paternal "love" and "worry"
Paragraph 3 btw was just one of the innumerable examples of lazy writing this show had (which I enjoyed as well for all its faults, but what has to be said has to be said).
I don't think he would have even been able to get "it" up if she did insist on consummating their marriage…
Gay men managed to impregnate their wives in lavender marriages as well. It is not impossible to deliver this task even if you are not attracted to the opposite sex.
No, you're not the only one. But we are in the minority, unfortunately.
Judging from how many of us are pissed, it does not seem a minority to me - at least here. Even those happy for the couple do not seem to be impressed by the La rosa de Guadalupe happy family finale kitsch - to put it mildly,
There are a couple examples to against the stupid Asian let's whitewash scumbag parents tradition:The End of the…
What I am really unable to understand how come so few Asian filmmakers come to make this toxic Asian tiger parenting a subject matter for dramas in spite of the fact that the high rate of Asian kids' suicide as well as Asian people cutting ties with such parents in adulthood are both very well-documented.
They cannot just escape and leave that POS father behind for the rest of his life as he would have deserved. Fuck cares he abused and tortured his son physically and mentally alike for years, beat the shit out of him and drove him to the edge. Fuck cares he twice nearly killed Sasin and has nearly beaten him to death. Everything is forgiven and forgotten after just 2!!! fucking years, because daddy the dearest cried a little after nearly exterminating them both, since he is a "papa" after all and he nearly exterminated them both out of pure paternal love, of course. Even Sasin who was twice nearly murdered by him has to smile at this human garbage since he is a "father"or what the fuck.
Go and get a fuck, sick Stockholm-syndrome-infected screenwriters.
Saenkaew thinks that for keeping Sasin alive, he also has to satisfy Pin sexually and give her a child. He has…
The point is that it is our frustration and not his, he does not want to "grow a backbone". He has given up on his life already and he doesn't care what happens to him anymore as long as Sasin is alive. He was fighting against all odds up until his pseudo-father tried to kill his love the second time, now he is just exhausted.
Saenkaew's character is beyond spineless. He's weak and gutless. The fact that he'd even contemplate having sex…
Saenkaew thinks that for keeping Sasin alive, he also has to satisfy Pin sexually and give her a child. He has already given up fighting for his dignity, it has nothing to do with him being spineless. I understand that you are livid and pissed at her as an audience, so am I, but we are not Saenkaew who is a broken person with zero wish to live at this stage.
Apple and orange comparison. Btw I personally think they are both very good but also vastly over-praised.
Ratings never matter much, especially on MDL. Two recently ended shows, like Shine has 8.4 and Mandate has 7.6 and imo both are superior to either Khemjira or LITM.
If I really want to make comparisons, I guess Khemjira has loads of depth and emotions too, it is only the treatment is less melodramatic and the emphasis is much less on torture and emotional abuse.
And yet Khemjira, while indeed it has rather too many fillers along the way. has a genuinely original story and a quite masterly cinematic narrative while let's be honest, the plot of LITM is a cliché-filled Thai lakorn with almost no tropes of the genre left out. The plush production and stellar leading performances from the 3Ps make it very memorable, but the script has plenty of loopholes and the villains are so absurdly evil as to be cartoon characters.
My biggest concern that this monster and nearly killer Kamfa will get his redemption arc and all his unforgivably evil acts will be forgiven as "done out of love" in the best Thai lakorn tradition. This actually winds me up already a lot more than the possibility of a tragic end.
The final episode is two hours long, and here’s my theory:Episode 12 (version 1) will be the happy ending, and…
609 Bedtime Story was a supernatural-themed show where the alternative endings fitted. That is not the case here, and I personally think it would be very jarring.
Once again, a comment section amply demonstrates how a significant part of the BL fandom is unable to grasp and digest anything unusual.

The End of the World with You (Japanese)
Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo (South Korean)
Love Sea (Thai + Japanese remake)
Bed Friends (Thai)
But they are still few and far between and even some of them do not make it to the extent one hopes they would.
