"Did you NOT see him as some fictional character?!" I loved that Yusuke was the one that said that line. The confusion and pain Jun is going through, at this stage of his life is a reality for many gay/bi men, and they see how BL dramas, mangas, etc. are all the rage. Yet, they are raised in a society that constantly says that, they have to be "normal". they "have" to date a girl, they "have" to marry a woman, and they "have" to become fathers, so that they can be a "productive member" of society.
Jun's Mother, hearing him asking her, "Why am I still alive?" is just so heartbreaking. No mother, should ever hear their child, asking them that. I'm glad that Ryohei had Jun's back, and that Miura thought about her behavior, actions, and words more clearly, so that she can actually be a real friend to Jun. So that he's not hiding behind that invisible wall anymore.
I still don't see Pla's or Toon's "side" in this segment of the series. Their manipulations, set-up the situation for Bew to manipulate them all, in his need for revenge, and retribution.
Copy A Bangkok certainly understands how certain fans behave via online and in-person. The diehards still holding out for PS, MG, & BW. Kitty with tears in her eyes!!
Finally someone has the same take as mine at Mol's reaction when she found out the love is mutual between In and…
That's why Wimol loves to live inside of the fantasy world that she creates in her personal life, and in her professional career as a director. Those fantasy worlds, in which the female character, always gets her HEA, with the man that truly loves her, for who she is, not for what she represents.
I think the hard part for the viewer, especially if we're not from Thailand and don't know what it would have…
"The ending had to be what it was, because they each were representative and those factions of society still exist."
Exactly. In acknowledges his "cowardice", but the world/society especially in Thailand isn't based in a BL. Real people are still fighting for their rights to just be able to exist, and that fight is never ending. There are some people, who are exactly like In. There are some people exactly like Wang. There are some people like Wimol.
Full on Gagged at the ending in the car ride🤮 Wang should run far away from her.
Exactly. Wang knows that he just has to be a bit more patient, wait out those three more years of college, and then he can go on the journey, to explore his world, outside of his mother's influence/control. Then, Wimol will continue to wonder why Wang never wants to be around her. Sigh. People never really do change.
It was still open in a way. In keeps trying to cross the bridge and be true to himself even if it is an uphill…
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.
Full on Gagged at the ending in the car ride🤮 Wang should run far away from her.
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.
I usually don't write reviews or many comments, but I'm wondering if I'm the only one thinking this - whoever…
"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 think he is 15 and she is about 19. I also think that she is a 1st year uni student I don't think the age gap…
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.
You haven't missed anything. Tanaka is now drawn towards Amagi, due to his rejection of him, during that ridiculous…
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.
I’m a bit confused - what’s up with Tanaka (Takara’s friend) being all over Amagi? Did I miss something?…
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.
Jun's Mother, hearing him asking her, "Why am I still alive?" is just so heartbreaking. No mother, should ever hear their child, asking them that.
I'm glad that Ryohei had Jun's back, and that Miura thought about her behavior, actions, and words more clearly, so that she can actually be a real friend to Jun. So that he's not hiding behind that invisible wall anymore.
A wonderful film.

I hope so to, but from what I'm seeing, I don't think that folks really want to see more LGBTQ+ series out of Thailand.

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