Never finds it's grip
I just feel bad for Peach who is a grounded and caring guy, but has to be stuck with a man child instead of someone who can just get along with him and could take care of him in return like a normal person. Thee clearly had absentee parental figures in his life and craves the parental like attention that Peach gives him in teaching him how to behave like not like an out of touch delusional weirdo. Peach is doing so much emotional labor to keep his creepy manchild boss acting more like a human being, it's truly laborious watching it. Peach doesn't notice Thee is chasing him because he's too used to taking care of others at the expense of himself. He seems to get with Thee more from his trauma of violence and Thee just happens to be someone who is of any help to him in stopping it. Thee continues to do things without asking Peach first or having any kind of adult conversation no matter how many times Peach explains he shouldn't do that. There's never a moment of true romantic connection or chemistry between Peach and Thee. The character of Thee very miscast. Thee is so cartoonish that it needed to be played by an actor who is able to ground the ridiculous elements of the character in order to feel like a three dimensional person.
It's such a breeze of fresh air when Peach has scenes with Mok who is also in the same line of work, but still connected to being a human being. Peach and Mok has good chemistry, I want to see Est and Phuwin play a romantic pairing which is unlikely to ever happen so long as the Thai bl system stays the way it does unless they leave the company. I love that Peach includes Mok in his co-worker souvenir giving. Mok and Rome's relationship has a lot more tangible angst and longing with the extremely limited screen time that shows their relationship at all. Mok is unable to act as friends with Thee but definitely had more loosely defined boundaries with Rome. Mok making a bracelet for Rome is so cute and it's fun to see Mok go full force flirt mode around Rome. Mok takes his duty seriously, that's been traumatically drilled into him since a child, that his life is to give for Thee, that he would never give up even to be with the man he loves. Firing him is the one thing that Thee does right as Mok wouldn't be free to live his own life otherwise. The show needed to give one more scene of post bodyguard life Mok.
