Lets Pretend the last Episode Didn't Happen

I really did actually like this show. It's rare, but becoming more common, for one of the characters to already be out or know that he is gay. The sexual tension and the puns I felt were quite out there for some Thai dramas, I feel like its the first time seing "awkward boner" issues etc which made it fun to watch.

Chonlatee's support from his mom and friend are wonderful, and Ai and Ni are hilarious side characters. Everyone has issues with Ton being homophobic/misogynistic, which he IS, but I think then people underplay his struggle of coming to terms with himself and the people around him later on. There are homophobic and misogynistic people in the world. For Ton, it was a learned behavior from his father. When he realized it affected the important people around him, he changed for the better, and I loved his clear crisis of conscious versus just "easily" switching from one side to the other.

I think the show had a real chance at showing that these kinds of changes aren't easy or clean. It brought up issues of consent, manipulation, and toxic relationships.

And then the last episode just killed it all, and was a huge disappointment, seeming to backtrack on so much of the potential.
