WTF WT.... WTF!! I suggest u invest in a good box of tissues and don't wear any eye make-up while watching this!!…
Agreed. We have shows where ghosts end up with happily ever after. A cat gets a happily ever after.
But a Teddy Bear that turns into a living breathing human that sacrifices everything due to a misguided idea that it will solve all problems does not deserve it? Not this director or writer.
That the director thinks that she can get away with the idea that hey, he's only a Teddy Bear, what's the problem, is astounding.
Just my personal thoughts here and with all due respect to the original commenters, I don’t think that heterosexual…
We definitely differ on the message of this show. What the writer said vs the director's own statement differs.
I can not in good conscience see this show as pro LGBT. It is not even a BL.
If Tofu's love is just temporary, then LGBT love is temporary.
As another poster pointed out and I quote: 'The relationship with Tofu in director's view is a Boss-subordinate relationship, as Tofu isn't a human, his love to Nat is unrealistic as it has no condition and his time with Nat is shorter than Tarn. Nat sees Tofu as a great memory and a person who makes his life better. His love to Tofu is not much as to Tarn and the existence of Tofu is unnatural and injustice to Tarn's life.'

According to the director, Tofu is 'other' and 'lesser'. The director's even goes so far as to say he should not exist, and this is why he cannot be with Nut, Tarn is the end goal because he is human.
This is a contradiction to the series theme and message.
It is the way LGBT people are seen and made to feel, and to have Tofu actually die out of a sense of guilt is not what the show is trying to tell for 15 episodes.
Maybe you can try to change the way you see the ending. In many ways, it is indeed a happy ending. Even though…

Yip, having him wake up in a coffin in a crematorium, where he almost catches fire - a plot straight out of a horror movie! Then have him trapped in the body of a bear forever? Another horror movie! What a happy ending! I could have done without all of that thanks.
I don’t think anyone will object to Tarn given a second chance. But so does Tofu as a person. Nut on the other…
I do not know how many times I have to post exactly the same thing as you. Tofu knowingly drank poison with the intent to die. It is the definition of suicide. It cannot be perceived as anything else.
How people can justify it astonishes me. Nothing justifies this.
This all to resolve conflict and used as a plot point in a series? And then gleefully the show continues on, totally ignoring the fact that you just had a major character death due to family conflict? It is the anti-thesis of what the show message is and nullifies any social commentary in the show.
I would even go so far as to say that Tofu is the only main character and everyone else is secondary. For a main character to do this, with the though process that it would solve all problems is disturbingly wrong.
As you said, it is irresponsible. The writer and showrunners wanted to create a martyr, except here no one escaped unscathed.

As someone that had more than one close friend commit suicide, watching a show that basically glorified it was just startling and uncomfortable. Whether people perceive it as suicide or not, what Tofu did was knowingly drink poison with the intend to die. That is the definition of suicide.
To those can read the Thai media news or similar, are there really many people in Thailand who actually support…
I've got LGBT friends that live in Thailand, and according to them, a lot of their Thai friends where very disappointed with the ending. Especially as the actors kept on saying it was a happy ending. Quite a few thought that the ending was going to be Tofu/Nut, and it would not have adhered to how the book ends. They also felt that the ending undid a lot of the social commentary in the show.
Not to mention the guild he must feel. That if he didn't let Tofu go to Jan's house, if Tofu went with them to…
That is what makes me livid at the creators, they gave him no choice. He did not want to go back to being a teddy bear, but in the end to save Tar and Nut he has to do it. For Tatarn to then get rewarded with a live with Nut, after not doing a single thing for him when he knew what was happening in Nut's later life just makes it even sadder.
But that is not what we got. They should have stuck with that.
To watch a character you grow to love and shares he's thoughts with you, only to be used as a footnote in Nut and Tarn's story is upsetting.

It is still the same "bury your gays" trope.
This just leaves me with the thought that the director sees Tofu's love as temporary and as such LGBT love as temporary.
It is even enforced when Tarn and Nat re-unites.
What the writer said vs the director's own statement differs.

out of his mouth. Thank you director for burning that image into my brain.

That is some weird flex in a LGBT story.

How does Tarn get rewarded with a happily ever after with Nut when he knew what Nut was going through with his mother?
They also felt that the ending undid a lot of the social commentary in the show.
