The problem with the funeral was its ridiculousness, not comparative studies in cultural attitudes towards death.…
I did wonder how much of the funeral was a cultural thing--such as there not being a grave already dug, it being so very small, etc. OH--and the weird headstone. Is it traditional in Thailand to carve it by hand with a spoon? As I write this, the series is over, but at that point I was still hoping we would get SOMETHING from Wayu about his feelings for Pha. I mean, he cried all of Season One, which I feel is why so many people wanted to see him with Thanu. Everyone was angry that Pha dumped Wayu without explanation. So it was a dirty trick to make Pha terminally ill. And then for them never to have a decent conversation about what happened, even after Thanu revealed Pha was ill. Wayu just told him he didn't feel the same anymore, Pha went into a depression and stopped his treatment and he died. There seemed to be no feelings of guilt on Wayu's side. Back to the funeral--I wanted so much to see more from Wayu. I at least wanted him to kiss the rose he put down, but no. Still, after the funeral, when Thanu and Wayu went to the beach, I thought--maybe Wayu will think of Pha and say a few words. No. I held out to the very end. When he went to the grave in ep 12, I thought he might say what needed to be said. (That he understood why Pha did what he did, that he once loved Pha very much and still did in his way, that he'll miss him, how unfair it all is) but...no. He, for some unfathomable reason, returned that gift from Pha rather than keep it as a momento, as though he wanted to get rid of everything Pha in his life. Was it so he'd feel better about sleeping with Thanu? SO POORLY WRITTEN. I swear, the entire storyline felt like it was written on the fly. And Mark not sitting next to Kit after Kit's best friend, whom he'd been trying to save, died, was just PATHETIC.
I think it would be better to skip all the scenes. Except maybe the funeral and the grave visit from this ep.
I agree it was a terrible idea, particularly since so many might have chosen Pha had they known the terminally ill story. I was so angry they didn't do better with that. Wayu and Pha never even had a good conversation about what happened.
I skipped over the Thanu-Wayu scenes. Did they finally close the deal?
Yes, I think they did in the ep 12. Thanu said he was staying the night and took of his shirt then they had a chaste kiss lying on the bed. (I think that was supposed to indicate "the deed"). It was about as hot as this couple gets, lol.
It's not Thanu and Phai because during the votes, there is a majority of people who voted for the Thanu/Wayu couple.…
The ONLY reason I would have voted for Thanu is because I thought Pha was terrible for leaving Wayu. I hate the way they did his story, and I hate the way they didn't give them any kind of talk/resolution. Not even by the gravestone! (Such as it was).
I think it would be better to skip all the scenes. Except maybe the funeral and the grave visit from this ep.
I really thought maybe Wayu was going to say something at the grave...but no. He gave back the gift. Which I thought was really weird. Why not keep it in remembrance? It's as though Wayu was thinking he had to give it back before he let Thanu in his pants.
Concerning Wayu and Pha, I thought the same about hiding Pha's face--although the actors changed from 2Moons to 2Moons2. But if they were only doing the break-up, I guess it made sense. (But concealing it when they made those figures representing Wayu's prospects was pretty silly.) But then they bring in a new actor. At the very end. After all that. I couldn't believe it. I'm very much looking forward to the sequel and hope Wayu doesn't take Pha back easily. (I can't imagine what Pha's excuse will be for what he did.) Kit and Mark are awesome together. I hope they don't give them too much angst ini the next one.
I agree that it was refreshing, that the characters have great chemistry, etc. But am I the only one put off by episode two mostly being a repeat of episode one with just a little added at the end?
Spoilers: I was interested in the main couple and Phob and Eak. And they're the two we don't really get an ending for. Is there a Season 2 coming? When was this made? And why were there so many telephone calls in the last couple of episodes? Why did Simai come back, anyway? Did he find out the truth? WHAT THE HELL? I feel cheated after watching 15 episodes.
