He cheated, no one pointed a gun at him.
He caught her "cheating" and he's pointing a gun.
Men will forever not be able to handle what they dish out but will be quick to say "it's only a mistake, please forgive me, take me back and let's move on" but are unable to handle it if reverse were the case.
What a joke!😑

I have no complaints about the acting, both are doing great. For me it comes down to how they write Pleng that's just not resonating with me.

I'd go with #2. And in the book, she was scared of losing both their friendship and Wan, the only person she has left in her life if one day their relationship ended. I don't know why the series doesn't cover or talk about her trauma and how had she been through in the past 13 years. They just decided to give dumb Ek a back story which no one would give a f about

why are people blaming pleng😭 between wan and pleng, it was wan that made the wrong decision from the beginning and although ek is a horrible cheater and deserves to d1e, she decided to give him false hope ofc pleng would feel awful and guilty whenever she sees ek, and about the job, i think it's important to acknowledge how pleng has trauma from being a burden to wan and her family and how she suffered all these years without her parents i kinda get her for wanting to have a stable job after all and not depending on wan for everything. both wanpleng are flawed and complicated but they're real.. it's kinda upsetting when i see society always wants female characters to be reasonable

I was getting annoyed but jesus theyre hot lol i wish pleng wasnt such a blank slate sometimes

I think it's two things.
1. Guilt. She's the one who brought Ek and Wan together which caused suffering to everyone involved, including Pleng. So now she wants to make up for her mistakes.
2. She's stuck in a loop of self-sabotaging her relationship with Wan, so she may unintentionally seek out conflict just to ruin things because it's more "safe" than facing her own feelings. She feels that she's not worthy of Wan for various reasons (fear of ruining the friendship, their past, internalised homophobia, disapproving Mom etc.).
Or... 3. The writer just doesn't now how to create a believable conflict 💁‍♀️

Its ek who's "the other wo(man)" not pleng. These companies need to stop buying chao planoy's novels and this is how we'll get less annoying men. One of the things I HATE about her novels is victimising the men which BLs authors NEVER do that to women

I am glad that we were shown that Wan made it clear to her Mom, when she paid homage/respect to her good for nothing Dad after his funeral, that she wouldn't allow Wi to have ANY say in her life from that point onwards. Her Mom basically believed that Wan had to make the choices in her life, (marry into a rich/wealthy family, and not become the side piece), that she never had.

That's a horrible thing for a child to realize about their parent, but Wan lived throughout the choices both of her parents made for themselves and her in her life up until that point.

As for Wan choosing to marry Ek: Yes, she was fully in the wrong for marrying him. But Ek also has to take some responsibility in his decision to marrying a woman that clearly did not share any sort of real love and affection towards him. When I have watched the very many BLs in years (and in weeks past, hat-tip to "Live In Love") past, in which a female character is so desperate to hold onto or gain the interest of the main male characters, it makes me wonder if folks see value in themselves outside of whom they may end up with in their romantic relationships. Why demean yourself in such a way?

Phleng has spent years in some sort of "punishment" for walking out of Wan's life. Wan's folks made it clear that she wasn't wanted, especially when the money they expected he to have from her parents deaths didn't come to pass. She had to get out, and let Wan have a future, in which she had no say in. When she found out that Wan had been lying to her about her actual achievements, that was heartbreaking for her. Phleng has wanted the best for Wan. So, in her mind, at that time, she wasn't the best person for Wan (and that wasn't just about her untold/unrequited romantic feelings for her).

It's going to take time for Phleng to not feel some sort of guilt regarding her pushing Wan to be with Ek, her abandonment of Wan, her sudden return into Wan's life, and now her being found out as the "other woman".

Blank really did Wan dirty. They gave us a bland piece of white bread when in reality (which is Affair), Wan is a complicated, flawed, toxic, beautiful, sexy, strong, stupid ass full course meal of a doctor!

Also, I'm sooo happy that the tickets were sold out for last episode viewing when a lot of seats were empty during the first episode. I hope they get more projects cause that chemistry is 🔥

I don't think it is fair to compare the more popular GL actors to a f/m male MC or that they are doing the "bare minimum". The actor playing Wan is great in her role and deserves whatever popularity she gets. I do agree that the actor playing Pleng deserves just as much popularity, but Wan was always going to get more attention because the character is written in a more flashy, charismatic way that will naturally attract people more, but I have seen many comments, especially from Thailand, that have praised Sonya's acting. People love their chemistry together. It's not like people are saying that only one of them is carrying the romance, they are equally great, it's just that Wan is written to be more charismatic and Pleng is more subtle and introverted. I do think it is possible for a GL to have both main characters be equally popular with the viewers, but so far no one has adapted a GL that is written that way, but it will probably happen eventually...

In the novels Affair is set AFTER Gap and BEFORE Blank...

And in my mind, until word on the contrary that is how I organize the dramas...

Anytime I hear that top/bottom shit, I just exit. Not sure who's blaming Pleng for everything but everyone is to be blamed for what's happening.

8 episodes for this gem is absolutely diabolical. What am I supposed to do when it ends??? Did they consider that? Nothing less than 12 episodes!

No sequel. They just all share the same universe. Like Marvel.

I don't know what I'll do with my life after this series ends. Considering episode 7 will be devastating for us, we only have 1 episode left. I wish this series were longer. 8 episodes feel so short. There are so many things I would have liked to see: more episodes of just teasing (like it happens in the book), more delving into Pleng's trauma, etc. Why do GL's only get 8 episodes lately? I can't take it.
