I have to be honest here, the first half of the episode felt like Avengers: Endgame. You know, they fly through so many different scenes without giving us time to absorb what just happened? haha. I was like "Oh no is this like super-edited because of the pandemic?"
I see what you mean, and I'm grasping at straws here but it could have stemmed from Sarawat's shock that he finally…
Sarawat knew he was doomed the moment he saw Tine again. And considering what Tine asked of him from the start ("help me get this gay guy off my back"), he was double-doomed. How can he show his true feelings to Tine when Tine seems to be actively rejecting guys? He was being aloof to protect his unrequited love.
Lhong is brilliantly written (and acted)! I like how he's not the typical one-sided evil caricature with the Most Obvious Plan In The World™. He doesn't even do the Evil Mastermind Speech™ until the penultimate episode. Amazing. Compare with Tanguy (Bad Romance) or even Jeed (Love Sick)
OK, I watched Addicted (Heroin) and I have to retreat back here to feel comfort and safety. May Buddha bless Thailand for being a more open and accepting culture than China.
*bright idea*
It's good to be watching BL lakorn again :)
