Why would I have to choose? I ship them as a couple so I’m rooting for both of them equally!
This! I love both of them and aside from shipping them I am invested in them individually and I want both of them to grow into better people. The journey each of them is taking is compelling.
The F4 Thailand director liked several of my tweets, including more than one tweet in a long thread I did about the funeral and I'm semi hysterical right now
To be honest I see both sides of the story. I understand where Gorya is coming from and I understand where Thyme…
Since Gorya has known Thyme:
1) He gave her a red card which led to her almost being sexually assaulted (only stopped by Ren, not Thyme)
2) He kidnapped and offered a her a bribe in exchange for her integrity
3) He got her beaten up because his poor behavior with Hana made Gorya collateral damage
4) He raised his fist to her in a jealous rage
5) She was verbally abused by his mother
6) He got engaged and is appearing in public with his fiance
7) He asked Gorya to be patient and wait for him but never explained why or for how long.
As I'm reading the above I feel a little crazy for still shipping them and honestly the only reason is I do because I can see how hard Thyme is struggling to be a better person and how much progress he's made plus Gorya actually wants him for some very good reasons. But it's not enough yet. Thyme still has to grow and change more to deserve Gorya. She had every reason to back out at this point. Also, the poor girl says she's exhausted and I feel that. I just wanna feed her soup and give her a quiet space to nap.
I've been contemplating a lot on this episode, specifically how well I thought they played Gorya breaking things…
Everything you said right here! Plus the show is signaling hard that Thyme still isn't ready or deserving of Gorya. He puts on his animal print jacket when he returns home to deal with the funeral. He gets almost violently angry with Gorya when she breaks it off with him. Plus he isn't treating her as an equal. When Kavin arranged for the flower shop to work the funeral and then carefully explained to the girls what was going on and why it was important, he paid Gorya way more respect than Thyme did in this episode. When Thyme is ready to truly see Gorya as his equal in every way, that will be when he deserves her and they can be together.
Thanks for the summary! That’s really interesting and I agree, it relates well to Gorya and Thyme. His life…
That's why I've been saying that any woman who desires men (sexually, as partners, as the father of her children) is Gorya. We are all engaging with the beast every single time. We are all facing a potentially annihilating threat.
Really? I think that part where she talk to thyme (with the lakorn in the background) show that she is indeed…
The expression on her face during the birthday countdown totally sold me on her feelings for him. She's conflicted but the feelings are definitely there.
There isnt much abuse between fl and ml (specially after the ml fall in love with her), and the ml in this ver…
Agree on this. It's at the start of episode 7 but you could skip the first part of the episode on YouTube since each episode is broken up into five separate parts and then just watch the rest. I gave some people a heads up about the scene before they watched so they could opt out if they wanted to because it really is awful and potentially triggering (though I agree it is not romanticized).
I think they are setting us up for Gorya to step up and engage with Thyme as an equal. The title of the episode…
I think Thyme didn't invite her in a misguided attempt to protect her. Also he says he prefers her world to his own so maybe he wants to keep her there because that's when he's most connected to her. But Gorya is too big a star (literally!) to be contained that way. Thyme has to stop patronizing her and pay her the due respect of acknowledging her power to navigate his world.
Every week, this show just excels in distilling the most poignant conflicts and making them as impactful as possible.…
I think they are setting us up for Gorya to step up and engage with Thyme as an equal. The title of the episode is The Incident of 1% which is of course about the global 1% but also I think about Gorya because she is also the 1% but she earns it through her courage, integrity and resilience.
I loved how the funeral was a huge reality check for Gorya but also so many different things playing out for all the characters. This morning it occurred to me that Kavin arranged for the flower shop to work the funeral because otherwise how would a small obscure business land a job like that? And then he explicitly tutors Kaning and Gorya on the importance of the event for their business and why they had to make sure everything was perfect. It was a huge compliment because Kavin is the most consciously political of the F4 and no way would he invite Gorya and Kaning to be there unless he respected them and cared about them. And that's just a tiny part of the whole funeral sequence. The layers of storytelling at play are incredible.
So some people are upset over Thyme yelling in Gorya's face when they were being separated by his mother's guards. It turns out that the production did film a more gentle version but they went with the one that was angrier. I'm fascinated and wish I knew why: https://twitter.com/Jlight04/status/1495208125947080711
Really wish more people took the time to understand Gorya like the way they do for Thyme. She is going through…
I hate that anyone is jumping on Gorya for how she behaved in this episode. The 1% people are freakin' terrifying and willing to go to almost any limit to gain more power. Plus Lita is legitimately a perfectly appropriate choice for Thyme (on paper, assuming you don't account for what the heart wants). And Gorya's been through so much and like she said she's exhausted, god, give this poor girl some compassion. She needs it.
