No need to hope. She's definitely getting one. Lol. I just hope she wouldn't do the same to her own child as she did to Lert.... 😕

This!! I don't like what she did, but I completely agree with you.

Phadoem loved his son in all the wrong ways. Makes me think he probably was brought up that way, hence it's the only way he knows how to show love. I still don't like Phadoem for how he treated Tanwa in the past, but I'm honestly glad he finally came around and showed up for his son before it was too late.

Omg, chills!!!! I remember mentioning how Moira represented omnipresence in the series, and she literally is!!!! She's got eyes everywhere!!!!! Aaahhh as if she wasn't amazing enough already.

But what Veera's friends did for him!!!!! 😭😭😭 And who would've ever thought....the person Lert wouldn't be able to run away from wasn't Pracha. Pracha would've killed him, but Dhevi kept him alive (but dead inside) and tortured him. 😐 Next to Dhevi and her brothers, Pracha looks like nothing now. Dhevi's the scary one. 😫

It totally breaks me that Lert's stuck with Dhevi forever. But one thing's for sure, Dhevi can never have what Naran has—Lert's heart. I do wonder if Dhevi would've ever cheated with Veera if he were alive, and still turned a blind eye on Lert's affair with Ran. But seeing how scary she actually is, I think she wouldn't let go of Lert either because she doesn't love Veera and he'd only be Lert's substitute to satisfy her loneliness. I think she'd definitely still force Lert to carry out his "husband duties" eventually. And Dhevi giving Pracha the same treatment he gave Veera!! Did not see that coming. I don't like Dhevi now, but damn she's ruthless and I love it when it's for Pracha but hate it when it's for Lert. Ugh. Let me go cry for LertRan first. 😢

And Trin....I mean, "This is something he has to face on his own." Really???? Really, Trin??? He does have to face it on his own, but it wouldn't hurt to be there for him for a second. Or at least hear him out? No? When you claim Tanwa's never there when you're sad, yet Tanwa's always the one going to you? And Trin is fully aware about Tanwa's mother's suicide, yet he wasn't worried at all that Tanwa could take the same path. I'm just baffled, honestly (and clearly angry too).

Tanwa doesn't deserve to be hurt like that. He was wrong for lying trying to keep Trin safe because he feared losing Trin as much as Trin fears losing Victor, if not more. And I sure as heck know it's so much more. I'm just so glad Tanwa had Sucha to watch over him, and made sure he's still breathing, even calling Phadoem over. Imagine, Phadoem, the one who's been abusing Tanwa, ends up being the one who shows up for his son and not Trin who stepped in to stop Phadoem from abusing Tanwa. Hilarious 😑

To see Tanwa bursting into tears in the pool....that felt like a knife stab. And the luckiest person of all is Trin, because 3 men were trying to keep him safe that night. THREE. They all loved him so much and just wanted him to be safe. And even though I get he was hurting badly with trauma, what he did to Tanwa was seriously uncalled for. And I'm not talking about that punch anymore. It's the way Trin decided to ignore Tanwa's pain too. Sure, you can argue they both needed space to work on their issues. Trin chose to work on his own by himself, and he thinks Tanwa needs the same. While I agree with that, I just cannot support how it happened here. Trin could've talked to Tanwa first before actually packing up and leaving. Wasn't Trin all about confrontation? Truth is, Trin freaking chose to run away. "Choosing, in itself, is still better than not choosing at all." That's a jab to Tanwa's "Not choosing is also a choice."

Yeah, Trin. Just admit you chose to run away. So much for calling Tanwa out for running away all the time. And now Tanwa's the one who didn't run. He stayed, he worked through his trauma, he healed his own wounds (BY HIS EFFING SELF), he got back up on his feet, and he found his own happiness again. Pfft, who needs Trin for that, right? In the end, he even forgave himself and forgave Trin. Of course, because it's Tanwa. Tanwa forgives everybody, even his abusive dad. 🙄

And in the end, it was again Tanwa who went to Trin FIRST. I hope Trin made it up to Tanwa for the rest of their lives until they were old, and will continue to make it up to Tanwa until they die. I'm gonna be bitter forever with how Trin barely had to TRY to get Tanwa back. 🤦‍♀️ I was so happy no one was picking up Trin's call, only to realize Tanwa probably went to him already, and I hated that I was right. I really wished Tanwa waited for Trin to come to him for once, but then that wouldn't be Tanwa, would it?

Honestly, what angers me even more is if Trin found out Tiva actually knew and still let the protest happen, he'd probably still forgive Tiva faster than he'd forgive Tanwa. Why? Because Tanwa's always the one people can take for granted. And I bet viewers would also forgive Tiva because he broke down and confessed to Victor's parents, but Tanwa haters still think Tanwa's the worst when that man had his world crashing down and was so ready to just let his life wither away when he was just trying to keep his loved one safe, as everyone would.

The pain Tanwa showed throughout this episode, and seeing how far he's come.... This is why it infuriates me and breaks my heart whenever people just hate on Tanwa so much. What even did Tanwa do to get hated on so much? The rest of them—Trin, Krailert, Naran, Victor, were all given heroic moments, making people admire their courage to push forward. And then there's Tanwa, who ironically represents most people but gets hated on. Is it because people just hate seeing themselves in Tanwa? Is it because they wish to be like Trin, Victor or Naran? Or even Krailert, fighting for forbidden love?

Rage aside, there are things in Shine that I didn't like, but I still think Shine did a phenomenal job with everything. Production was topnotch, the entire cast hit it out of the park, and the music is just absolutely amazing. LertRan's ending was brutal, though expected, just in a different way. Maybe until they grew old, Dhevi might get fed up and just let Lert live the life he wants and he'll get to meet Ran again. 😢 But I honestly doubt Dhevi would yield. And I hate the idea of Ran being all alone until he's old, not knowing if he'll see Lert again. Ran deserves to move on and find his own happiness too. TrinTanwa's ending....well, it was sort of a happy one, but I'm not that happy about how we got there. LOL.

Anyway, this was a fun ride and it didn't disappoint. I hope Shine gets the appreciation and acknowledgement it deserves. From the creators, to the production, to the cast, to the music. Each aspect honestly deserves an award. Well done, Shine. 👏👏👏

I'm hoping LertRan get to meet again too 😞

I think it was TrinTanwa because the one on the right has long hair and plays the guitar. You can also see him wearing the same silver bangle Tanwa wore.

I think we also have to keep in mind that Trin was also going through his own PTSD at that moment, and he wouldn't be thinking rationally. He's led by grief and anger, and usually people choose the easiest person they can blame. And this time it probably hit harder because Victor's laying there dead right in front of him.

When Claire died, even though he wasn't right there when it happened, his first response was blaming her friends for not keeping her safe, not the actual ones who killed Claire. So it's similar with Victor's situation.

He might start to think who orchestrated the whole thing later on after he's calmed down. But it wouldn't make sense if he was stable enough to think of that right after seeing Victor die.

And to add on about Lert, Trin did lash out at the subordinate who shot Victor at first, then moved on to Krailert. But it might have felt futile? Because deep down he knows the military's effed up. (Also don't think he'd dare punch any military personnel or he'd go straight to jail.). So he goes to the next person he could blame—Tanwa.

Like Truth Dares mentioned, Phadoem didn't kill Tanwa's mother with his own hands, but he probably drove her into depression which caused her to end her own life. That's why Tanwa understood that his mother wasn't happy being in that marriage and she wanted to set herself free.

And besides his dad indirectly causing his mother's death, Tanwa is also mad at him for burying the case to save face, and act like he had no part in driving her into making that decision. I'm guessing Tanwa's also mad that his dad didn't own up to putting his mom through a suffocating marriage.

We still have no idea how bad it was and what exactly Phadoem did or didn't do enough in the marriage, leading to Tanwa's mother falling into depression. Perhaps we'd get a clearer picture, finally, in the final episode since Phadoem gives Tanwa his mother's novel.

Keeping my fingers crossed that maybe it wasn't the only tape. 😣

Giving this a standing ovation. 👏👏👏👏👏 And bracing myself for Ep8. 😩

That's true! I really hope he's got solid evidence to take down Pracha. We know that the recording tape's gone, so I'm curious what else Lert's got. And even if Lert does end up sacrificing himself, I hope it won't be in vain.

I'm honestly thinking the same about Lert, but I really hope he doesn't have to die. I know Pracha isn't gonna let him live....but... 😩
I think your theories might be right and it could all happen in that sequence. There are also theories about Tanwa having the will to live again by completing his mom's novel, and Trin reading it in the end.
I feel like it's gonna be a bittersweet ending for all of them since that's been the consistent tone of the series.

Ep8 teaser.... Tanwa holding onto Trin's handkerchief with barely any will left to live. 😢 And we had no sight of Trin!! Where is Trin?? 😩 Everything's just so nerve-racking. Pracha is so scary. Will the good people win for once? Are better days really ahead?

That's an interesting take. For me, I think Phadoem probably has eyes everywhere and it's likely that he's been occasionally, if not constantly, keeping tabs on Tanwa. I feel that Phadoem already knew Tanwa is close with Trin, especially after Trin stood up for Tanwa at the event. I wouldn't be surprised either if Phadoem knew Victor went to see Tanwa earlier on the very same day. So as long as Tanwa doesn't get into trouble, he turns a blind eye. But after knowing about the riot control, he went to warn Tanwa just in case because he's not taking any risk.

Though for me, I feel that it's less likely Tanwa was involved in the past since he's against violence, I think there's a chance you might be right about this. Tanwa may have fought before but to no avail, so he doesn't see the point in it anymore. There's still one more episode and we don't know what else they might reveal.

And about Trin getting mad at Krailert, I've always felt that Trin had some reservations about his uncle. So he probably doesn't have that much trust in Krailert as he does in Tanwa. With Tanwa, Trin has almost completely opened up his heart, but he hasn't done the same with Krailert. Trin probably wouldn't be surprised, though still would be mad, if Krailert did something like this. Because I think deep down he expects it. But with Tanwa, it hurts even more since he completely trusts Tanwa.

But we'll see. I think there's a scene from the long teaser where Trin was hugging Lert? So maybe they will eventually sort things out between them. But idk about Trin and Tanwa. After watching Ep8's teaser, I'm just hoping they all survive, except Pracha that piece of 💩.

I hope Krailert will have the people on his side. Pracha may be powerful, but hopefully with the people's and some media's support, they may be able to take down Pracha. Hopefully 😢

I'm very worried about both Tanwa and Krailert's state of mind right now. It feels like Krailert's planning to carry out a suicide mission. I really hope it doesn't end with him sacrificing himself in vain and Pracha that piece of sh*t still wins in the end.

While I understand why Trin did what he did to Tanwa, I didn't like it either. I really hope Trin comes back to Tanwa and apologizes for what he did before it's too late. Tanwa really has nobody by his side. 😢

Anyway, Tanwa's always been everyone's punching bag because he doesn't fight back. If anything happens to Tanwa, I can't forgive Trin. 😭

That's what I'm worried too but I don't wanna go there 😭😭😭 I won't be able to handle it.

Krailert and Tanwa went from home owner protecting his house with a rifle from an intruder, to uncle exchanging nods with nephew's lover to keep their loved one safe. How nice if we could have LertRan and TrinTanwa sit together at a table enjoying a meal with a moment's peace. 🙁

I think the hardest part isn't for Tanwa to forgive Trin, because I don't think he'd even blame Trin for punching him. The next hardest thing is for Trin to forgive Tanwa for lying to him, robbing him his chance to try and protect Victor regardless of the outcome. And the biggest obstacle of all, in my opinion, would be for Tanwa to forgive himself for lying to Trin and making Trin relive his trauma.

I think to him, the pain he unintentionally caused on Trin hurts even more than Trin's punch. Because all this time, Tanwa just wanted to make Trin happy. But because of his decision to keep it from Trin, it hurt Trin even more. Then there's also the question, whether Trin is able to forgive himself or not. Because he has to forgive himself first to be able to forgive Tanwa.

Both of them just really need to have a long conversation to understand each other's struggles. To be honest, I'm not confident about them reconciling, but I really hope we get a happy ending for them too.
