Hold up. Some random 'What if's' I thought go just now.
Gun said to Korn "You just want all the power." Korn shot Gun right before he was gonna release a secret about Nampheung. What if, Nampheung was to be rightful heir to the Major clan? What if she was intentionally abused by Gun (Or got in a relationship with him) and Korn had her institutionalised as an excuse for causing her brain damage? Korn then kept her alive to use as leverage against Gun knowing he would become weak seeing her. What if Gun actually loved her? What if she gets back her memory? What if, she wants revenge? What if, she was faking it? 🤯
Unpopular opinion: Nosy friends ruin everything. I don't know why or when we adopted the idea that your friends MUST know everything about your personal (intimate) life. I see a lot of nosy friend in Thai BLs and the entitlement they exhibit to know their friends business sickens me. If you need to know, your friend will tell you. Many good things are ruined because nosy friends want to know another's business, that quite frankly has nothing to do with them. Boundaries are important.
I'm sorry but somebody has to say it. This short hair on Fluke, is not it. Not being mean. I'm a bit disappointed. I have no clue what's happening, just here for the ride. I set UWMA as the standard but its not even close. Something is odd about OhmFluke because they CAN act but this just seems really amateur. Directing, perhaps? I don't know but it doesn't excite me. I fell asleep during ep 1... twice. The 'supernatural' (can I call it that?) theme is too similar to UWMA if you ask me. On a positive note, the actors are handsome. All of them. I picked up several plot points that seem promising but I worry about execution especially in just 5 eps. (I wonder if we're getting a "Golden Blood' type relationship between Rain and Phayu?) Acting is a little stiff and the characteristic '10 second between sentences' BL pause is there but not extremely annoying. I hope it picks up the pace.
BL done right. Super cute! Phenomenal cinematography, especially ep 4. I do feel like we were robbed of a kiss but I love it nonetheless. Really impressed that all of this was done in 5 episodes!
Also, because I have a lot of thoughts. I can see their love languages emerge as they 'battle'. Vee finds it hard to speak about his feelings but will do anything to show Mark that he cares. "Acts of service" The rides to school and home and anywhere, taking him to eat, taking care of his cut at the pool, walking him home and most recently, giving him his umbrella. That was screaming, "I care about! I just want to love you! But I'm an idiot!" Mark on the other hand seems to be a Words of Affirmation kinda guy. "My word alone isn't enough for you?" Words are important to him. [Even Bar, Vee's best friend, used more than words to tell him]. He pushes Vee to acknowledge the realities of relationship they're in. "We just did that thing" "What about Ploy?" "People are in relationships because of love, not responsibility." He needs Vee to address it and talk about it because that it'll give him comfort (if not, clarity). This goes to show how important it is to love your partner in their love language and not yours.
The cycle VeeMark have developed in these three episodes is intriguing and is comparable to VeePloy.
Vee keeps going back to Mark [Ploy goes back to Vee] Mark keeps hurting himself (to protect his feelings) while trying to 'get rid' of Vee (Also hurting Vee) [Vee similarly would hurt himself to confront Ploy] Mark gave Vee several lifelines to save himself and make progress, he ignored them [No comparison here, he's just as stupid as the fortune teller/palm reader said] but also, Mark keeps accommodating (and caring for) Vee on his 'returns' [Vee, knowing that Ploy is cheating, still accommodates (and cares) for her]
In this case, infidelity doesn't bother me, since it's both parties, I say it's fair game. But what the writers have brilliantly done (whether intentionally or not) is given us insight into the dilemma that Ploy is in, albeit she has been cheating first. This balances among comfort, care, responsibility and selflessness (I can't believe I said this either but, hear me out). There's no excuse for cheating but as many have said in Vee's case, he is comfortable with Ploy, happy? maybe not, but comfortable. The feeling of familiarity is important to interpersonal stability and to him, Ploy is familiar. I said that Ploy [and Vee] despite their infidelities are selfless because the idea of breaking up and hurting the other is too painful to even think of. Even though they have feelings for other people, it's the thought that "I can't break up with my partner because they're a good person, I don't want to hurt them, maybe we can find our way back" while simultaneously cheating and ergo causing more hurt. (And, after the revelations, has a lot to do with guilt and fair game "How can I leave my partner for the same things I've done) So, selfish but selfless? Get it?
I hate that Mark is in the middle of it because, as you can tell, when he loves, he loves HARD and when he hurts, he likewise hurts HARD. And we all know what's going to happen but I must ask myself, and you, is it worth it?
This is day 3 on episode and I only just passed the 30 minute mark. Why am I doing this to myself? The problem is, every time I'm ready to drop it, Chahub takes off his clothes and my entire thought process just goes to shit.
It's for your own good. Trust me.
