People love to throw around “better options” like they’re vending machines. Keen didn’t need advice—he needed space, safety, and time. None of which he was given. It’s always the most privileged voices shouting from the sidelines.

Okay, so I just stumbled across this new Thai BL called “I Promise I Will Come Back” (ฉันคอยเธอ), and… I’m lowkey fascinated?

It’s airing on Channel 7HD (their first BL ever, btw) and set in this quiet little northern Thai province called Phrae—think misty fields, old folktales, and big “stare at the moon and ache” energy. The core legend? A woman waits so long for her lover in a cave, she literally turns to stone. Now that cave is the backdrop of this show?? I’m intrigued and a little haunted.

Also, the cast lineup is wild in the best way: a Thai actor-producer, a pair of actual Taiwanese twins (yes, twins), a coffee founder-turned-actor, and some Thai screen veterans thrown in for good measure.

The teaser dropped and I didn’t fully get it—but I felt it. Slow pans, dreamy lighting, quiet yearning. You know the type.

Not saying I’m setting my alarm, but also… I might?

Penny & June: The Office Sapphic Side Plot No One Saw Coming (Except Gaydar)

Let’s get one thing straight—and by straight, I mean queer-coded to filth:

Penny is NOT actually into Sorn.
She’s just using him like a decoy boyfriend in a low-budget queer romcom called “Operation: Make Her Look.”

Yes, Penny flirts with Sorn like it’s her side hustle—but only when a certain lady June is within visual range.
Mall date? Boom. Penny and Sorn “just happen” to dine there.
Office hallway? Penny’s casually grazing Sorn’s thigh like she’s trying to tune a radio.

But ask yourself:
Where’s the kiss?
Where’s the follow-through?

Exactly. Nowhere. Because this isn’t love.
This is performative lesbian panic—and it’s riveting.

And Sorn? Sweet emotionally-unavailable Sorn?
He’s not being a two-timing disaster (for once). He’s just the prop in Penny’s slow-burn gay longing.
He heard “fake dating” and said, “Sure. I live for drama and repression.”

Meanwhile, girl June is trying so hard not to look like she cares, sipping her iced coffee like,
“Oh this? This isn’t envy—this is lactose intolerance.”

So now we have:
• Penny: running lesbian plays with a borrowed bisexual
• Sorn: chaos consultant and decoy boyfriend
• Girl June: spiraling softly in her office blouse
• The rest of the office: providing zero productivity, but 100% commentary

Let’s be honest—this isn’t a love triangle.
It’s a covert queer operation with lipstick, side-eyes, and one very confused HR department.

And personally?
I hope Penny breaks the fourth wall and shouts,
“You think I want him? Girl, I’ve been thirsting over you since the shared printer jammed in episode 0.”

Will this theory age well? I don’t know.
Will I delete it if it flops? Absolutely not.

Because if I’m wrong—blame the iced coffee.
If I’m right—blame the sapphics.
But either way—I’m not responsible if this theory goes south.
I just work here.

Sorn: A Case Study in Lip Misuse and Emotional Malfunction

If love is a language, Sorn speaks in tongues. Literally. Too much tongue. All the time. Every time.

Welcome to “My Stubborn” — or as I like to call it, Fifty Shades of HR Violations, starring one emotionally repressed horndog who thinks every problem can be solved with a surprise kiss, a bite, or full-contact topping… while standing.

Let’s break it down.

⸻

EPISODE 1–2: Kissing as a Weapon, Not a Warm-Up

Sorn introduces himself to Jun by slamming his lips into him like he’s clocking in for a night shift at Lust Depot.

We’re not talking romantic kisses. We’re talking:
• Ambush kisses
• Training kisses
• “You’re doing it wrong, let me demonstrate again for science” kisses

Every single one is like an unsolicited pop quiz with no study guide and full tongue.

Therapy Goal: Learn to ask before invading someone’s mouth like it owes you rent. Learn to close your mouth occasionally. Maybe moisturize. Definitely stop critiquing someone’s kiss while actively making out with them.

⸻

EPISODE 3: The Rise of Vertical Topping

Sorn doesn’t believe in lube. Or physics.
He thinks the human body is like a USB port: you just jam it until it fits.

So, he tops Jun standing up—with no warning, no prep, and no stretch. That wasn’t lovemaking. That was Cirque du Soleil with questionable consent and an emotional power imbalance.

Therapy Goal: Google “ergonomics.” Then Google “bottom care.” Then apologize.

⸻

EPISODE 4: The Bite That Launched a Thousand Memes

Sorn bites Jun’s lips like he’s taste-testing rare steak.
Then walks away like nothing happened.
Jun shows up at the office looking like he fought a weed whacker—and lost.

Sorn’s solution?
“Here babe, bite me back.”

Sir. This is not reparations. This is rabies with romance lighting.

Therapy Goal: Replace biting with breathing. Just once.

⸻

EPISODE 5: Hair Down, Feelings Unleashed, Boundaries Obliterated

Jun moves in. Sorn lets his hair down. And baby, it’s Missionary Impossible.

He ignores phone calls, door knocks, and all laws of pacing. He mounts Jun mid-laundry and refuses to stop even when Thai and Win show up like the PornHub welcome committee.

This wasn’t seduction. This was a mental breakdown with extra body heat.

Therapy Goal: Learn to separate sexual desire from emotional panic. And use a bed like a regular human being. Bonus: maybe some aftercare that isn’t just “let’s go eat noodles.”

⸻

FINAL DIAGNOSIS:

Sorn is emotionally illiterate, sexually overachieving, and physically incapable of expressing love in any way that doesn’t involve a jaw, a bite, or a thigh grope.

He doesn’t need a boyfriend.
He needs a therapist, a pillow to scream into, and maybe a tongue leash.

But are we judging?
No.

We’re watching.
We’re screaming.
We’re applying chapstick in solidarity.

Because Sorn isn’t just kissing.
He’s spiraling.
And baby, it’s televised.

Totally agree—Phut’s playing with fire and dragging poor Jun into his messy double life like it’s a team-building exercise. Shame, truly. Meanwhile, Sorn needs to stop letting Penny knead him like he’s dough and finally decide if he wants Jun or just chaos. Thai, on the other hand? Out here being sweet, calm, and communicative—basically everything Sorn could learn from if he’d stop growling long enough to listen.

You are NOT alone—Penny’s been serving strategic chaos with a side of eye contact for a while now! That stare-off with June? Suspiciously intense. Honestly, at this point I wouldn’t be surprised if her love language is passive-aggressive flirting across multiple genders.

RIGHT?! I was out here typing sass and suddenly—Thai and Champ hit me like a fever dream with benefits! Where do I sign up for their brand of “sick”? Asking for science.

At this point, we need a whole department just for Sorn—HR, PR, Emotional Damage Control… and a therapist on standby. Mondays were never ready for this man!🤣

That means a lot—thank you! I’ll cherish this like a diploma from Sorn’s Very Questionable Training Program.

Hahaha yesss exactly!! Sorn’s got Jun under his roof now, and suddenly the “teaching plan” looks suspiciously like a seduction syllabus.

Every kiss is a pop quiz, every stare-down a final exam—and Sorn fully believes that if Jun aces all the assignments, he’ll graduate straight into Boyfriend Certification (with honors and no transfer credits).

Aww stop it, you’re gonna make me blush! I’m just out here emotionally spiraling with style like the rest of us!

YES exactly!! Sorn is dangling off that emotional cliff by one sweaty tank top strap, and Jun’s just there trying to pretend it’s a breezy beach day when it’s actually a full-blown hurricane of feelings.

They’re spiraling, they’re crashing, they’re allergic to communication—but oh boy, the gravitational pull?? Unmatched. We’re watching a disaster in slow motion and I simply cannot look away!

Ahhh THANK YOU!! You get it!! Sorn’s out here acting like it’s just casual chaos but the second Jun says yes? Man’s soul leaves his body and is replaced by raw, unfiltered desperation in a man bun.

He’s not just horny—he’s unraveling, romantically, emotionally, physically (and probably spiritually). And you’re so right—the way the actors are playing it with those unhinged microexpressions and tension-loaded silences? Chef’s kiss. I’m eating it up like Jun’s sanity never existed.

LMAO right?! One second I’m fully invested, the next I’m mentally screaming “WHERE’S THE LUBE?!” like it’s a safety drill.

And omg stop, you’re too sweet—I love you back, fellow logic-driven thirst monster!

OMG yes THANK YOU for saying it!! Like… is lube illegal in Thai BL or what?? I’m not asking for a demo, just a hint that someone’s not going in like a reckless IKEA drawer. And LOL not the honey in Top Form—that counts… emotionally.

RIGHT?! At this point, I’m convinced Sorn thinks lube is just a suggestion—like seasoning on fries. Sir, this is not a TikTok thirst trap, this is a human being with nerve endings!

Poor Jun is out here getting pounded like a stress ball and still reporting to work with a smile. Give that man a raise. And a donut cushion. And a gallon of aloe.

OFFICE GOSSIP DIGEST: Affairs, Feelings & Emotional Fire Drills

1. Phut – Full-time staff, part-time stairwell Casanova
He’s got a girlfriend. He’s got a boyfriend.
And now he’s got Jun lying for him like it’s part of his intern duties.
Jun ran into the official girlfriend at the café and had to cover like he was defusing a bomb.
Phut? Cool as ever. Zero shame. Zero crisis management skills.
Just vibes… and poor life choices.

2. Sorn – Manager of Vibes, Jealousy & Zero Boundaries
Still letting Penny use him as a human armrest.
Still kissing Jun like it’s mandatory training.
Tells Jun he wants him, but can’t define what that even means.
Pushes Jun away with one hand, pulls him in with the other, then gets moody when Jun talks to other men.
Honestly, sir—pick a lane.

3. Thai – Calm, collected, and dangerously sweet
Holds hands. Offers rides. Gently ruins lives with quiet charm.
Flirts like it’s accidental but we all know better.
Champ never stood a chance—and we respect that.
Thai doesn’t need to make noise; he just shows up and suddenly everyone’s in their feelings.

Workplace Morale Forecast:
Phut’s out here freelancing emotional damage.
Sorn’s circling Jun like a confused, beautiful hawk.
Thai’s writing the softest love story in the middle of all this chaos.
No one’s clocking out with dignity—but the gossip is thriving.

DISCLAIMER:
Totally fair if this show’s not your vibe—some people want cozy fluff, others came for emotional chaos and bisexual panic in a man bun.
We all carry different experiences into what we watch. But let’s not confuse scripted spicy fiction with real-life harm.
This show? Messy. Unhinged. Exaggerated on purpose. That’s called satire.
Not every BL needs to whisper “I like you” over tea and twinkling lights to count as love.
So stay picky. Stay safe. But let the rest of us enjoy our beautiful dumpster fire in peace.

Now, onto the juicy part.

Sorn’s Love Language: Confusion, Jealousy, and Bedroom Ambushes

Let’s talk about that moment in Episode 5.

Thai gently grabs Champ’s hand, and off they go to buy groceries together like two boyfriends auditioning for a soft romance playlist.
They’re giving domestic tenderness with reusable bags.

And Sorn?
Sorn is watching this like an emotionally starved raccoon who just realized other people have access to hugs and eye contact.
Cue: “I want you.”
Cue: bedroom chaos.

But let’s not be fooled by the surface-level thirst.
That wasn’t just a horny impulse—it was a trauma response in tight pants.

See, Sorn doesn’t know how to ask for intimacy. He only knows how to perform it.

While Thai and Champ are all acts of service and cozy hand-holding, Sorn is out here with a love language that’s:
• Physical touch
• Acts of dominance
• Jealous stares
• And the occasional spontaneous bedroom takedown

He saw that gentleness between Thai and Champ, and his subconscious SCREAMED:
“Why can’t I have that?”
But instead of sitting down and having a feelings conversation like a normal adult, Sorn decided to full-body tackle Jun into a mattress like his emotions were on fire.

Because to him?
Sex = Connection
Control = Care
Marking = Love
(And lube = optional, apparently.)

Meanwhile, Jun is still blinking at the ceiling wondering if this is step 2 of his bisexual awakening or just a really aggressive sleepover.

The thing is:
Sorn is emotionally stunted. He doesn’t know how to say “I like you.”
So instead he says, “I want you,” while biting your neck and casually ignoring every HR policy in the building.

⸻

Conclusion?
We’re annoyed at Sorn because we’ve met people like Sorn.
The mixed signals. The control disguised as care. The silence where affection should be.
That frustration is valid. That alertness is growth.
But it’s also what makes his character arc one to watch.

Because at some point—maybe after one more bedroom ambush and a light existential crisis—Sorn will realize:
Possession isn’t love. Control isn’t affection. And “I want you” isn’t the same as “I choose you.”

Until then, we’ll be in the stairwell with Jun, emotionally wrecked, perfectly lit, and waiting for Sorn’s redemption (and maybe some lube).

Sorn’s Love Story: From “It’s Just a Lesson” to “I’d Burn Down HR for You”

Once upon a time in My Stubborn, there was a man named Sorn: emotionally unavailable, sexually overqualified, and spiritually allergic to feelings.

Episode 1?
He sees Jun—awkward, confused, clearly bottom-coded—and thinks:
“Let me ruin him emotionally… for science.”
But it’s not science. It’s thirst. Thirst with a side of denial.

So he starts “teaching” Jun how to kiss.
Every day.
At work.
At home.
In the parking lot.
During lunch break.
Under fluorescent lights.
Just casually! For education!!
Meanwhile, his man bun is two centimeters away from filing a love confession on his behalf.

By Episode 3, he’s marking Jun like a hormonal raccoon.
Neck? Bruised.
Boundaries? Gone.
Kissing quota? Daily.

Then Jun cries at work, and what does Sorn do?
Panic? Apologize? Seek therapy?
No.
He shows up at Jun’s place with the emotional intelligence of a brick and says, “Wanna move in?”

Because clearly nothing says “I’m sorry” like inviting your crush into your personal horn zone.

And when Jun finally moves in?
Sorn doesn’t even pretend to wait.
He flips that man onto the bed like he’s rearranging throw pillows and goes full Missionary of Feelings™ without even blinking.
No lube. No prep. Just sheer delusion and arm strength.

Now he’s spiraling.
Jealous of every man within six feet of Jun.
Cooking breakfast like a husband.
Micromanaging Jun’s location like a Google Maps update.

And yet—he still says it’s casual.

Sir.
You “casually” kissed him 14 times in one episode.
You are in love, you just haven’t informed your brain yet.

But that’s the beauty of Sorn’s journey.
He starts as a man who teaches kissing like it’s his side hustle…
and ends up as someone one sad stare away from crying in a stairwell with a love confession in his chest and no idea how to say it.

⸻

Sorn’s love story isn’t soft—it’s horny, repressed, chaotic, and covered in bite marks.

Just how we like it.

Conspiracy Theory #381: Thai’s Blue Balls Were a Strategic Weapon

Let’s be real: Thai has been walking around with the energy of a man one polite sip of wine away from physically combusting. He’s been slow-burning through four episodes like a candle with commitment issues. But in Episode 5?
The man SNAPS.

Suddenly Thai is “not feeling well.”
Oh really? Flu? Food poisoning?
No, sweetie. That’s called Chronically Untouched Syndrome.
Diagnosis: Four episodes of sexual tension and one too many side glances from Champ.

And then—coincidentally—Champ shows up. With red wine. In two fancy glasses.
Thai is suddenly horizontal.

Now we have to ask ourselves:
Was he really sick?
Or was “I don’t feel well” their pre-established code for “get on this bed and let’s finally break the tension before I explode into glitter and regret”?

Alternate theory:
Champ spiked the wine—with patience, affection, and a subtle dose of “I’ve been waiting for this since episode 1.”

Whatever it was, the scene went from “hospital visit” to “horizontal healing” real fast.

So here’s the unfiltered theory:
Thai weaponized his blue balls like a genius.
He manifested illness via horniness.
He tricked Champ into the bedroom through a carefully crafted mixture of vulnerability and wine etiquette.

And honestly?
That’s strategy, not desperation.
We don’t make the rules—we just pour the wine and let the moaning begin.
