Regarding the discourse on only friends, I think the fandom has to throw out the idea of who's the villain?.
There's no villain. There's no psycopath or evil mastermind. This is just a show a about 20 something students messing up their life's intentionally or unintentionally , making mistakes and learning from them. No one is right or wrong they are messy and that's the point.

A THAI MOVIE WITH BRIGHT AND DESI UNDERTONES AND ITS ON PRIME ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
"Risa, the owner of a wedding planning business and her gang of close friendsโJan and Offyโare tasked with orchestrating an extravagant wedding for Arun and Monica, and Indian couple who've brought to Thailand with them an enormous entourage of relatives. With Tim as the event's photographer, this wedding is set for turmoil as exes reunite." MDL link
I really really liked this silly show. I think a lot of its problems come from the fact that it is an adaptation of a text that is almost a decade old now and shows it. (As much as I genuinely love the original, it is dated, and Returns goes a long way to unpick it).
But I like its humour (it's SO funny), I like its heart. I like that it has space for sincerity.
There are things that frustrated me - boss's moment of realisation and self acceptance was undone again and again, Mo starts out determined to fight but runs away again. And again. In the end, it's more like a sitcom or a cartoon in that regard: the conditions are reset, returned to the status quo (most especially with the factory reset of the amnesia plot) until something eventually shifts. Boss becomes almost like bugs bunny, popping up when he most isn't (or is) wanted - a trickster figure who stalls or moves the action on as required. If I watch it again (which I probably will), I'll watch it with this more in mind.
I like, also, that it gave Earth a chance to show his versatility. He's been so typecast that even still I see people surprised that he's not a 40 year old chicken rice seller. He's allowed to be goofy, sweet, and clumsy, to show what an excellent physical actor he is. He and Mix were given the space to improvise (the leg grab in the break up scene was improvised!!), showing their dramatic and comedic instincts. They seem to have really enjoyed filming this series, to have had the chance to try something new and work with a veteran actor like P'Krit.
It's so apparent that this show was made with love - it's not perfect and there are things that I would change - but I have so much time for it and I'm glad that it exists.
Just Fadel and his single tear.
a;sldfjalsdfj PLEASE petition for someone to gif the absolutely insane roller coaster of emotions that joong is going through as he watches the kantbison scene in the bowling alley. ๐ he truly is One Of Us.
^ reaction to kant kissing bison's forehead ๐
^ hand on his heart, gaze fixed and focused, frozen in place like he can't even process the moment (he actually stays frozen for aaaages this is so fucking funny to me)
Kant: If we're lucky, maybe we can go together
fully has to hide himself behind his arms and under a pillow before letting out what I can only describe as a heartfelt groan of pain I"M--
Kant: I'll go anywhere, as long as I'm with you
punches bean bag aggressively
sits back and pinches the bridge of his nose like he's in actual literal pain from watching this
^ stands so his entire head and shoulders is out of frame with another inarticulate cry of agony/frustration/rage and starts beating the floor with his pillow
And at the end of it all, he just BEGS for more.
Bonus:
joong reacting to Fadel promising that there'll be "more nights like this" with more pillow beating ๐๐๐
Yโall really gonna hate me because Iโm not gonna shut up all weekend about this episode ๐ฉ fuck crumbs, we got an entire Maomao and Jinshi buffet today.
The frog is finally out of the bag, the worst kept secret in the show, Jinshi not being a real eunuch, is finally revealed to Maomao. LMAO at her refusing to listen to him say it so she wouldnโt have to deal with the repercussions. But girl you know you canโt just say someoneโs meat is the same size as a frog without them getting mad ๐ญ not Jinshi storming off in a huff because she said it was โsomewhat largeโ lmaooo. Some things we just donโt say!
Always good to learn more about my boy Gaoshun. Hearing about his backstory actually explains why he and Jinshi get on so well and are a good mentor/mentee duo. They both sort of got thrust into positions without their consent and are just making the best of it. Also confirmation of our other worst kept secret about Jinshi being the emperorโs brother! Something tells me that this assassination attempt is just the first of many challenges he and Maomao will face so she better start listening lol
Worst assassination attempt ever. If youโre gonna use a flintlock pistol you better make sure you send your best shot lmao. RIP to the noble who tried to take out Jinshi.
Glad Maomao apologized to Jinshi quickly and didnโt let things drag out, but it really does make a ton of sense why sheโd struggle to understand peopleโs feelings and social cues given her upbringing. Iโd love to see she and Takao from Ameku MD this season collab because they have the exact same issues
Jinshi shouldโve known better than to give Maomao Ox Bezoars if he wanted her to actually pay attention to what he had to say lmaoo. Hilarious end to the episode and perfect transition into the second cour. Nice mix of Jinmao and lore stuff!
She/Her, Slytherin, can't focus on one thing, loves morally gray characters, likes bl way too much, all signs lead to it
