F4 Thailand is not doing well in its viewership: BW were casted expecting that they could pull off same amount…
I know this is just troll bait, but I can't resist.
The notion that this show is underperforming either in viewership or ratings is demonstrably false. By literally any metric available to measure this kind of thing; this show is dominating. Views, social media follows/mentions, and critic/user ratings.

Interested to see how GMM plans to handle the reaction to Gorya working as a bar girl.
There's a real opportunity to normalize and help reduce the stigma associated with sex work. GMM has shown from other shows that they're willing to take a progressive stance on social issues.
Decriminalization of sex work as well as expansion of benefits and protections for workers in the industry has become a hot button issue in Thailand as of late.
It's not an integral part of the plot, so they don't need to spend a lot of time on it. Just a simple comment like "It's not a big deal she worked there" or "It's honest work" will go a long way.
There's a line in episode 2 that I really appreciate. After the Line chat blows up about Gorya's pregnancy rumors she runs up to the roof and yells something along the lines of:
"So what if I've slept with 10 guys and got pregnant? It's the modern day, and that's my business"
This type of line would have been unheard of 10 years ago for a show directed at teens and young adults. We still have a long way to go, but its nice to see the writers trying to undo the sexual double standard women are held to.
I'll be the first to admit Tsukushi Makino was not necessarily a feminist icon, but I'm hoping with the modernization of the source material; Gorya can be a strong female lead young girls can look up to.
Autistic genius trope never gets old for me. They keep makin' it, I keep watchin' it.
I want to cut her some slack because its her first major acting job, but I wish they just left it out entirely
*shocked Pikachu face*
Proud of you for speaking up
Does anyone know the names of the songs that played during episode 7?

Small steps overtime can have a big impact on reforming some of the outdated and harmful beliefs of our culture.
