Wow, I’m so glad no one ruined the ending for me. It’s a fitting end, because by the end I was more on Kwan’s side than anyone else. I can’t make excuses for the cold-blooded murder Korn committed, and her adopted sister went along with it.
This was just underwhelming. Three episodes of great angst, and the resolution was this? Where is the voice that Ploy found when she confronted her mother? Here, she just stood there saying "I'm sorry," and her brother did most of the heavy lifting. Even in the reconciliation scene, Pun was the one talking.
Now that the plot is dipping from realism, I wonder if we'll ever get a real conversation like the one Prang had with Pun.
Who else kind of doesn't like the straight-laced Porsche? Sure, he has the right morals that's your father, plus your job and reputation are on the line. But if he actually thinks through the ramifications of the situation and still chooses to do what's right, I could support him a lot more.
One of the best GLs this year. full-on melodrama vibes, with every episode feeling intense. All the characters were portrayed really well, especially the antagonists; you’ll hate them with every fiber of your being. Sadly though, Prem’s parents escaped without any consequences, even though they were a hundred times worse.
Other than that, I can’t complain. The show gave us some of the sweetest moments and some truly gut-wrenching angst. If you’re looking for something engaging, definitely give it a try.
This is a valiant attempt at a GL from a very new company. It wasn’t the best, but it’s watchable. A lot of things were off, and hopefully their future projects will be much better.
Killing both Kem and Bo’s mothers off was a great change. Parents in Thai GLs get away with murder, and compared to the book where she’s given a house and millions to enjoy this was more fitting.
I don’t think Ploy suspected Pun of cheating. She’s just deeply hurt that Pun chose to lie instead of being…
That would actually make things worse for her character having full knowledge of the situation and still lashing out like that. Being the “first choice” in this context is kinda iffy as well; it was a spur-of-the-moment reconciliation trip Ploy invited pun on last minute, and when you compare it to the 30k usd gift from her family(who treats Pun like a screw up that always need help). I can have Ploy's back with being lied to part but that's it.
She was gone for eight years, so its 2017. Jane didn't have her own phone or any social media? Why were you calling her mother and sending letters? You see how easily that excuse falls apart? If she was so important to her, why didn't she reach out again? CH3 is just too lazy with the plot.
I'm hating and loving the angst this week. I just hope that going forward we see some real character growth from both of them.
Pun was a disappointment this episode, she should have just told the truth. I get that the truth is complicated for her to unpack, and in some ways she's trying to protect Ploy from the drama her brother is involved with. I also understand the part about leaving Ploy to get the money back it’s a lot of money, and it carries so much weight because of how Pun's family sees her as a screw-up. But lying about it was the wrong way to handle things.
On the other hand, Ploy clearly carries insecurities from her family and past relationships, but at her age, lashing out like this is not okay. Cheating on your gf/situationship because she’s acting suspicious without even trying to confirm anything is not a justification. Ploy interacts with her exes, Prang and Mind, every day, yet her first instinct is that Pun must be cheating just because she’s talking to her own exes. She needed to have a conversation not show your gf/situationship that you’re with someone else, that’s just cruel.
Hope they don't do a SWSH thou by puting all the blame on one charchater for the realtionship not working.
I need Prem’s parents to have a slow, cruel death. The guilt-tripping Prem mother used was vile and utterly disgusting. I need them gone, and if the writer weren’t so immersed in this Asian filial-piety mentality, we’d actually see Prem leave them behind. I’m sure Pat’s parents would give him all the parental support and more.
Pun really needs to come clean to Ploy about her brother and why she approached her in the first place, or this is going to get really bad soon. Ploy is way too petty and cruel with her paybacks and Pun's little heart won't be able to handle it
