Five Stars

The scene of FL falling backwards towards the water, when time stops and you can not only hear the sudden, loud clacking of typewriter keys but also see the actual hands of the script writer reflected off the water behind her, pounding furiously on the keys, doing a re-write of the plot to account for her and ML's deviations was absolute comedy gold! This series just continues to nail it with being not just funny, but cleverly funny. And what a cast! So many talented, recognized actors in this so far. Oh - and the music! The soundtrack is extremely clever and well correlated with the scenes. This is one of those shows you watch where you can tell that everybody involved must have had a blast.

É bom vê-los novamente!

Depois de quase um ano, FirstKhao estão de volta! Da maneira mais adorável e devastadora possível.Quando vi o trailer não imaginei que pudesse chorar logo no primeiro capítulo, mas estamos falando de FK e com eles é meio impossível de não rolarem algumas lágrimas. A história, que pode parecer simples a priori, carrega desde o seu começo muitos detalhes encantadores e plots que já me despertam certa curiosidade para saber o desenrolar das coisas: Quem realmente é o Tiger? O que mais o Lynk esconde por trás de suas barreiras, além do relacionamento complicado com a recém falecida mãe? O que o Tiger vai fazer em relação ao poder que ganhou?Atuação. Não que seja surpresa para alguém, mas mais uma vez esses dois demonstram porque são uns dos maiores entre os atores da GMM (e da Tailândia como um todo). A entrega foi perfeita, as emoções palpáveis ao telespectador, desde os olhos até a ponta dos dedos.Química. Outro quesito que tampouco surpreende se tratando de FK. Os olhares, os gestos, os toques entre eles sempre fluem muito naturalmente nos fazendo sentir borboletas assim como os personagens.Cat For Cash já tem muito minha atenção e tenho boas expectativas para o que veremos a seguir.

The first episode blends humor, tenderness, and sensitivity with detail-oriented direction, turning simple gestures and romantic symbols into moments filled with meaning.

Apologies and Goodbyes — graveside truth, future talks, and a farewell that stings

Episode 27 is quieter, but emotionally heavy in the best way. In the aftermath of everything, the ML goes to his father’s grave to pay respects — and his mother appears too, for the first time since his father’s death. That moment alone says so much. She’s returning to America to sort everything out and is finally moving toward divorce, and for once she actually seems… steady. Like she’s choosing reality instead of denial.With the truth out in the open, the ML can finally visit the FL’s parents properly as her boyfriend. And you can tell marriage and the future are on his mind. But then the FL misspeaks and says she isn’t thinking about marriage “at any time,” and the ML is genuinely hurt. From his perspective, he sees a future with her — and what she said makes him feel like he isn’t in her plans.Thankfully, after some genuinely hilarious moments, the FL gets the ML out of his room and clears it up. She doesn’t mean she can’t see marriage — she means he’s already part of her life. He isn’t something she needs to plan for because he’s already there. Before him, her life was run according to a plan. With him, she can dream, breathe, and be herself. And honestly? That explanation is so her, and so them.The RL also returns and messages the ML asking to meet. We get glimpses of them as children — and it’s a reminder that the RL wasn’t always like this. There was a sweetness there once, and he genuinely treated the ML kindly. In the present, he finally apologises for everything he’s done. He mentions they’re renaming the company because it doesn’t feel right under the circumstances, and he admits he always wanted to be better than the ML. He saw the ML as a rival… while the ML never really did. And then he says goodbye.I can’t help but feel for the RL. His childhood doesn’t look like a good one, especially with a father like that — and honestly, the ML’s mother doesn’t seem clued up enough to have noticed any abuse even if it was right in front of her. He’s not evil — just damaged and desperate in the ways that make people do selfish things. I really hope he gets a better future.This episode feels like the start of healing — not because everything is fixed, but because people are finally telling the truth and choosing their next step on purpose.

The Truth Is Out — breakdowns, burning buildings, and the blame game exposed

Episode 26 is where everything cracks open. The FL finally breaks down and apologises to her father — she can’t forget the ML, and she can’t live without him. Sobbing in her mother’s arms, it feels like this is the first time it truly sinks in for her father just how much pressure he’s been putting on her shoulders to ease his own guilt.The ML, meanwhile, is left completely adrift after his conversation with his mother. He’s heartbroken and lost, and his only real solace is the snow scene in the game — it’s the one place he still feels close to his father. When the FL finds him there and tells him she can’t be without him either, it feels like the emotional reset they both desperately needed.After a night of finally choosing each other, they part ways — she heads back to her parents, and he goes to the company — and then the drama hits hard. The FL is kidnapped and trapped in a burning building. The ML is in a deadlock with the RL’s father, but in the blink of an eye he breaks down the door and rescues the FL. Even while coughing and spluttering, she jokes that it’s just like the game — which is both funny and heartbreakingly on brand for her.It’s also because of the FL that they’re able to find the memory card, and suddenly all the cards are in the ML’s hands. And then we get the verbal slap-down we’ve been waiting for: the RL’s father cut corners and shifted the blame onto the ML’s father. The shock on the RL and the ML’s mother’s faces says everything — their worlds have just changed forever.I’ll be honest: they both come across a little clueless considering what’s been happening under their noses. And weirdly, I do feel for the RL. He’s battered and bruised in a way that screams “home life,” but no one seems to acknowledge it — and it’s hard not to think his father is the source of that damage too.The truth is finally out, but it doesn’t feel like the end — it feels like the moment the real consequences begin.

Secrets and Lies — memory cards, punch-ups, and “am I part of that family?

Episode 25 is messy, intense, and finally starts pushing real truths to the surface. The FL connects the dots about what the ML has been doing and why — and we get growing evidence of the RL’s father’s shady deals, plus hints that the truth about the ML’s father’s death is much darker than “suicide.” It’s starting to look like there’s actual proof he didn’t take his own life.While searching for the memory card, the ML runs into the FL and the emotions explode. He’s furious that she’s put herself in danger, and she’s furious because he kept her in the dark for so long. It’s one of those arguments where they’re both right… and both hurt.The ML keeps digging, even trying to pull financial information from his mother — and I can’t blame him if he’s worried she might be an unknowing accomplice. Even now, he’s still trying to protect people who haven’t protected him. Meanwhile, the RL finds out the ML is digging and immediately puts his father on alert. Nothing like a man scorned.The RL goes full tit-for-tat, the ML gets investigated, and it starts to look like the FL could be implicated too. In anger, the ML confronts the RL and lands a couple of very satisfying punches — I was cheering and honestly hoping for a few more. The RL sits there having a pity party (“poor me” energy), as if he hasn’t even processed that he could be the son of someone involved in murder.Then the ML’s mother overhears and goes off at him, claiming he’s trying to destroy her family. And the ML’s response — “Am I part of that family?” — hits like a punch all on its own. Because… exactly. I’m sorry, but her priorities are wild.Amid all the chaos, the FL’s father is discharged from hospital. The ML quietly makes sure they have a car and a carer arranged, but can’t let them know it was him. And I’m still uneasy about what comes next — will the FL’s father try to force her to leave again? I understand he feels guilt, but I don’t understand why she should have to carry that responsibility on her shoulders too.This episode makes it feel like the truth is no longer the danger — it’s who gets to control it, and who gets sacrificed when it comes out.
