Maybe that's what gets viewers upset. There's no way that all the years of living in denial, would be overcome by In having another chance at having a love in his life. He was completely shocked by Wimol's reveal that she hates him. He did everything that he could, to try and make sure, that she had the possibility of a happy life with Siam. She resents that the shadow of In was always present in her marriage to Siam, and that her son also fell in love with him.

He should have, but how many children don't make that much needed move, for their own sanity, due to their love for their parents/families?

I wasn't that shocked/surprised by the ending. Wang truly believes that he has many years ahead, in order to finally get the life that he wants. Yet, he's going to have to put aside his mother's wishes, in order for that to happen. I don't see that as being "selfish". You, as a child, should be able to aspire to your own desires, wishes, goals, hopes, and dreams for living your own life. I cannot comprehend that some parents, instill this believe that they are "owed" something from their offspring. That their children are an "investment" that they are due "benefits" from them for the rest of their lives.

Spiteful, deluded, and jealous Wimol. She blames In, for what she's always known about Siam. In, still feeling guilt, and shame for being who he is, and finally seeing how Wimol resents him, for the role he had in Siam's heart/mind, and that her son Wang chooses him over her.
In is still the 52 hertz whale, Wang is still the obedient son, who still loves, and resents his Mom, while Wimol continues to make the world all about her and her needs/wants. Same old, same old.
That philosophy book In gave to Wang is very important. That you can read about the philosophy of life, but never allowing yourself to apply that philosophy to live your own life. The fact is that until generations (young and old) get truly fed up & tired of doing what is expected of them, they will never be able to truly live the lives they yearn for.

Maybe that's why BL has such a hold on viewers?

"It kinda felt like the writers just shrugged and expected us to be okay with it."

I think that the writers did that, because as much as it bothers many viewers in seeing that sort of behaviors/actions, I think that is something that happens all the time. Especially when you have been raised to give/show respect to your elders (even when they are in the wrong). The grandfather is constantly physically assaulting his grandson, while the grandmother sits docile, not doing anything to prevent her husband from abusing their grandchild.

I don't want them to date at the ages they currently are either, and the series is showing the issue that Hom is dealing with regarding her feelings. She knows it's wrong, and she's pushed him away for both of their lives right now. Peak is hurt, upset, and will continue to want her to take a chance on him. Most teenagers at that age, don't see anything, because they are motivated by their feelings, and emotions.

Exactly. Why are certain viewers aging up these characters? I know I haven't been in the 9th Grade or freshman year of college in multiple decades, but a 9th Grader is between 14/15 years of age, and a freshman college student (who didn't take a year off to go backpacking in Europe or an older person who held off of getting their degree right after high school) is typically between the ages of 18/19 years of age.

Ida from Kieta Hatsukoi/My Love Mix Up

The girls wanted to see two boys playing that game, just like all the BL actors do, when they have to fan service. Tanaka wanted to grant them their wish. Amagi was just in the area, and Tanaka pick him to participate in the game.

You haven't missed anything. Tanaka is now drawn towards Amagi, due to his rejection of him, during that ridiculous game of the potcki stick challenge.

I absolutely adore this cute series. Takara is so "cool/deadpan" in his outward facade, but on the inside he is over the moon in love with Amagi. He thinks he's too forward, while Amagi thinks that he's pushing him away. Those two clueless love birds are lucky that they have their own love advisor to help them through their situation. I have been fascinated by Katori from the first episode. His glances, observations, and encouragement have been so wonderful to watch.

The Japanese have been releasing amazing BLs this year!!

👏 👏 👏

Those tears!!!

Santa and Earth have been amazing in this series. Cake finally realizing that he wants to spend the rest of his time in Thailand with Eiw, and not his girlfriend. Eiw not wanting to be the cause of Cake's issues, but pleased to know that he does want to spend time with him. I understood Hin's issues, because Cake should want to spend time with her, but she couldn't force or make him do it. Along with him bringing up the topic of breaking up. She realized that he wanted to break up. He didn't want to be in their relationship anymore. I'm glad that she understood it, and didn't become unhinged, like what sadly usually happens in these Thai BLs. As for poor Peak and Hom. I can see both sides of their situation. He IS too young. He will grow, and change during that timeframe. As she will grow, and change. Maybe they will meet again, when it's the right time for them both.

This series was just an utter mess. I wish that these Thai BL production companies would stop using the same horrible background sounds in their productions. Added to my Worst Thai BL list for 2022.

This was a very interesting premise showing the falsehood of "reality" tv shows. When Keita asked, "What's so interesting about this kind of show? Though I am watching it ever week!" made me laugh out loud.

I hope that Ririnia does find her inner strength, so she doesn't have to find a sense of wholeness, by being in a romantic relationship with anyone else.

I also loved that all 4 of the actors in this series, have starred in BLs. It shows that these actors (well, the ones in Japan), are able to be cast in anything, due to their skill set, and not only just because they appeal to only BL viewers.

Lordt have mercy. Reiji, Sakuko, and Nagi have to get out of that town.

What I find refreshing about the series, is that Wang gets to say what's on his mind, his hopes, his goals for his future life, especially when he's battling it out with his Mom. He's not concerned about "saving face" or what he "owes" his Mom, his Dad, or society.

I understand that in conservative societies, children (even when they are of adult age) have to honor, and respect their parents, families, and elders. Even when it goes against what these of adult age children want to do with their own lives.

I'm a middle-aged viewer, I can understand Wang's need to want to know more about Siam, his frustration with his Mom, his compassion for In, and his love for all three of them. Wimol, and Im are trapped in the tragedy of what happened in the past with Siam. They each use him, as a painful memory, that keeps them from moving on in their lives. In and Wimol have said this to Wang, and it hurts him to see them wallowing in this pain, when they shouldn't be. It's frustrating for me, when Wimol, refuses to see that her need to create this false fantasy world, that she tries to hide her misery, and wants Wang to feed into, is harmful to him.

Hmm....I really hope that all of the actors associated with this series are able to get cast in other projects in the future, that actually have talented people in charge of the script, directors who know exactly what they have in mind, for how they want to interpret what's in the script, and producers that will not treat their lead actors as bait to draw in viewers.

👏 👏 👏 😃 😀 😄
Very true.

I think that Mieko is fine with knowing that Eiji isn't in love with her. They do love one another, but it's not romantic, or sexual desire. She's never really been attracted towards men at all. I feel that she's actually asexual/aromantic, to be honest with you. She just wants to know that she has a partner, that will help her with the upbringing of their child, and not abandon them. She can see that Eiji isn't at all ready to move on from loving Makio. Hopefully, whenever he does find someone else, she'll give him the space, and support for him to finally allow himself to pursue that relationship.

I think he started gaslighting all of them after he found out about their betrayal of him.
Bew thought that he had a real "partner" (onscreen and offscreen) in Gus, had a real "Mom" in Toon, his manager, and a real "Sis" in Pla.

What he found out, was that they ALL (even Gus), thought he was this easy to manipulate, gullible, stupid, and naive "boy", that they could use, in order to get what they wanted from him. Toon told him, that he had to play the "game", in order to have a successful career in BL, or he might end up back selling papaya salads again in his home town. Pla basically said to him, and Gus, that they had to check their hesitations about what they do in the BL industry, because "No Risk. No Fame." The excuse that Gus gave to Bew, on why he also participated in gaslighting him (falsely making believe that he "fell for him" the first time), was because Pla told him to, and then he found out, that Toon knew about it, the entire time.

It was no surprise to me, that Bew was going to go "Scorch The Ground" on them all. I just think that it's brilliant, that he used his facade to fool them.

Absolutely Brilliant.
