well was wrong 'the princesses' wasn't…

well was wrong 'the princesses' wasn't the center of attention at the funeral (not that he or his partner were aware that they were at a funeral). was sure Wayu would find a way to make it all about himself, and have everyone rushing to comfort his ass. guess it was enough that he had one moron kissing ass - and sorry but i really Don't get the relationship between them. Thanu got one look plastered on his face, can't he emote?!? asking too much??? ********************************************************** both of them and everything they get up too - idc - i'm so done, just fast forward them cause really they've got Nothing to offer. and if one couple wasn't enough, we got Kit and Mark - like WTAF is wrong with these 2?!? why Mark standing on the side lines like some undercover agent? and then they communicate through texts, OMG the levels of stupidity that's being passed off as romance, is killing me - *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************thank god for Jack and Kho cause they infusing some oxygen into this toxic environment. **************************************** and sorry but Tong turning to Phai, whos dishing out advise, is a Bad joke - everyone conveniently forget how abusive Pok was and is?!? and i get that group of friend not wanting to take sides, they just don't want their friends fighting (they not awaer of who Pok really is behind closed doors). so feel bad for Tong, cause who wants to admit they being used as a sexual punching bag?!? and like most "battered woman" he's brain washed enough that when their abuser's come apologizing, promising love and 'never to do it again' they fold and go back - this sad and depressing ***********************************************************but commenters also ignoring this fact, so now we supporting an abusive relationships, cause love is the only thing that matters?!? a little pain, sexual abuse and manipulation doesn't matter? really?!? and Phi the moron should STUF and fix his own life and maybe advise his brother to stop dancing around the bush and go be a bf to his freakin bf - but nope, there he supporting of that crap ugh plz - if i could i would give this negative stars - this plot that infuriating (╬▔皿▔)╯

Very Poorly edited, but has some really good moments.

I have quite a bit to say about this episode, so bare with me. I try and cover as much as I can about it. I broke it up into sections for easier reading.---------------------------------------------❤ The FuneralBadPennyGirl and I discussed early on in the season that if Pha dies, then how they handle the situation will either be very good or very bad. There pretty much can be no in between when handling stuff like that, especially in BLs. We were both hoping they'd give the mourning process a good amount of screen time. Something like showing a passage of time where both Wayu and Mark are still reeling from it. At some point Thanu comes in to help Wayu- and Mark does to! There's been a lack of Mark and Wayu moments this season. This would've been a great time to show that. And a scene or two of Sab comforting his cousin would've been a nice touch. Oh, and Mark would find ways to be there for Kit in person. And this would be the part when Kit finally talks about how he's truly been feeling about his best friend dying and the both of them have this very touching moment.And ideally, it would've been at least a couple of weeks before either Thanu and Wayu bring up the idea of going some place. And they do so as a way to just get away from all of the stress.Instead we got a VERY weird funeral scene: Kit isn't sitting next to Thanu and Wayu for some reason, they're all holding umbrellas even though it's not raining (I'm going to assume this might be a Thai thing and swiftly move on), Mark looks like a creep standing in the back corner watching Kit from a distance- and he texts him and Kit responds. Which is so weird, but understandable, I suppose. Since they're doing that separation thing and getting Kit mad while he deals with the death of his friend isn't a good idea, so I can see why Mark keeps his distance. But it's still weird.And Pha's coffin is easily way too small. The scene looks like it was shot in a back yard or lot instead of an actual cemetery. Pha's older relatives aren't there for some reason?? SO bizarre.And worse of all? They wrote it so that Thanu says some deep shit when it's absolutely not the time for it. And followed it up with a "Lets live life to the fullest, babe :)" as though his dead best friend isn't laying in a coffin that is 3 sizes too small for him 5 feet away from where they're sitting. WHAT. With what they've given us about his character so far, it makes no sense for him to say that at that time.And then this is when the timing gets wacky: when Thanu drops off Wayu, Wayu mentions he as an exam tomorrow and needs to study. Okay, fine. Thanu suggests he stays with him and they go elsewhere to study and they do so at the cafe. Okay, fine. And then they insert an honestly cute JackKoh scene. But like. Pha JUST had his funeral. The tone shift was wild. Suddenly there's this funny little moment that feels so out of place. I would've been fine with no JackKoh this episode, honestly. And I do enjoy their scenes! Just not for this episode because there was a lot of heavy and tender moments that needed to be addressed.Oh, and Thanu asks Wayu that same night, the same day where not 12 hours prior they were at someone's funeral, he asks with this grin on his face if Wayu would like to go on a trip. What. Once again, out of character! I have no issues with him bringing up a trip, it's just how it was brought up with the JackKoh scene thrown in there. Not good.---------------------------❤ ExamsWe see that the very next day, everyone finishes their midterm exams and suddenly it's as though something super depressing did not just happen. The tone shift is out of wack. Then they have Sab and Phai say that Wayu and Kit are "much better now", and Sab's like "it'll take some time for them to get better", which hints that some time has passed...but the funeral, according to the dialogue, JUST happened. How are they magically okay after it?The writers want us to believe that within 24 hours of the funeral, everyone is perfectly fine. Mark and Kit are back to their weird Thing, Thanu and Wayu are planning the one day trip, and the Juniors (minus Saendee and Pok) are going out to eat.No. I refuse to believe all of that happens in such a short amount of time. BPG and I were like "lets watch the rest of this thinking there's been some weeks put in between both events, because we are losing our MINDS".Now, speaking of Pok...------------------------❤ PokTongSo initially I had this long, written out thing about how I felt about the PokTong situation. Initially I was enraged because I thought they absolutely fucked up PokTong.But after taking a break, doing other stuff, and eventually rewatching their scenes and actually thinking about it, I realized that they aren’t as bad as I thought. This may be long, but what I feel like my analysis is important, sooo....Anyway!Basically, last episode we saw Pok attempt that half assed apology. And we saw Tong reject it.Now, the thing about Pok is that this guy is pretty fucking stupid. We all know this. He doesn’t quite have the ways with words. Him being bad about appropriately apologizing in episode 10 is not surprising. Him saying what he said when he found out that it was Tong who alerted the principal about the bullying is not surprising. Him telling Tong to leave in episode 4 is not surprising. Not surprising, yes, but still very hurtful.Poke is very much a “Do First, Think Later (Or Never)” kind of guy and clearly he’s gotten away with it for a long time. We see this again in this episode when in the first PokTong scene, he tries to apologize again, but starts off by saying that he has some kind of swim meet competition soon and that he can’t do well if he’s irritated. Now, to be fair to Pok for a millisecond, that’s true. Having this heartache will dissolve any concentration you have and affect everything, sure. But you dumbass, you don’t apologize like that! And Tong, rightfully, brushes him off.Now let's talk about Tong. I’ve always figured Tong was allowing certain things to happen to him because he feels so guilty about what he did that he feels like he deserves these things. He and Pok are the same size- hell, you can say Tong is actually a bit bulkier. So he can easily push Pok away. But he doesn’t in the beginning. He allows Pok to make choices for him: example being when he chose the dorm room. He could’ve easily told Pok no and moved on, but he didn’t. Instead he agreed to living together, even though it’s an awful idea. Pok tells him it’s so that he can make sure Tong doesn’t hurt anyone else, but really, from this point on, he’s only hurting himself.Once Tong leaves however we eventually see some changes.Tong makes the choice to try and help Pok with the bullying. Tong chooses whether or not he listens to Pok; sometimes he doesn’t and sometimes he does.Sometimes he walks away immediately and sometimes he listens then bounces. He chooses when Pok gets to hold onto his wrist or arm and for how long. He chooses if he wants to humor Pok and respond or not. Tong is growing and realizing that no, he doesn’t have to take this shit and he can make his own choices.And it’s great!! It’s subtle because we have to wait days in between each episode and they’ve been getting little screen time the last few episodes, but it’s there. And I’ve been loving it.So then we get to the second PokTong confrontation and Pok states that he can't concentrate on swimming because of their problem. But this time, in my opinion, it doesn't sound accusatory. Instead it sounds like he's actually acknowledging there's a problem and that it's his fault.I love that Tong responds asking him if he's going to blame him again for possibly losing the competition. This is great because we've been seeing this growth with Tong where he's finally standing up for himself. And Tong asking that question, him choosing to stick around to listen, him letting Pok hold his hand, and last but not least, him telling Pok when they will talk about it later is telling. Him wanting to, and not feeling like he has to, talk to Pok and *choosing* to give him that tiny bit of hope is so incredibly telling.Pok not arguing back with Tong when he asks the question is telling. Pok being so surprised when Tong says they'll talk later and gives him a bit of hope is also incredibly telling.All of it, in my opinion, is important because most of the time when we see unhealthy couples like this in BLs, they’re situation is treated and explored so poorly. In the end, the victim never learns anything and accepts the abuse and the abuser continues being a piece of shit. And we’re meant to accept it and think it’s cute.Seeing Tong grow into himself and finally accepting and acknowledging his own autonomy is powerful for a BL. And so is seeing Pok apologize over and over until he somewhat gets it right is also important.I will say though, how their conversation goes down in the next episode is VERY IMPORTANT. They need adequate screen time and damn good dialogue.I also want to say that I don't blame anyone who now hates PokTong or always hated them together. I know there are some people who think Tong should drop Pok regardless of my analysis. And I want to say that's also important! I would also LOVE to see a BL where the victim chooses not to go back and instead gets with someone much better. If they wanted to go that route with Tong, I wouldn't be mad. BPG has been talking to me a lot about KalaeTong and honestly...they could be cute. But also let me throw you guys another idea: KalaePokTong? Huh? Maybe??Oh, and one last thing: whoever thought it was a great idea to have Phai be the one to tell Tong about intentions needs to be fired. Phai, the same character who chose to stick with Saendee. Saendee, who got Pok and Tong in this mess to begin with and hasn’t apologized for hiring the thugs. How tone deaf is that?? I’ve been wanting a scene where Kalae talks to Pok and/or Tong about their relationship because he was somewhat in the know about everything. But no. We get Phai. Ugh.---------------❤MarkKit (part 2)Like I mentioned before, having Mark go after Kit and help him out would've been great, but that didn't happen. Instead they went right back to their separation thing. Which isn't 100% awful, but it does feel like it's dragging. This is another couple where I wish they have a well written conversation scene because they need it. Looks like we might get it next episode? Hopefully.I will say though, the scene where they both hand made accessories for each other and their packages arrived at the same time was super cute. It does show that they both very much care for each other, so much so that they taught themselves how to make this stuff. Cute!Now please hurry up and make up lol----------------❤The beach resort!I desperately need to say this: I hate those shirts. I saw clips weeks ago of them shooting these scenes and I hated them ever since. The quote is WAY too on the nose for my liking. The choice of font type sucks. They could've worn adorable beachwear outfits! But instead I get these ugly shirts. Maybe if the designs were better and we got a scene of them shopping around, finding the shirts, and liking the message, then I'd be okay with them.Other than that, these scenes were the best ones in the episode.I'm sure some people are going to point out how weird it is that Thanu got them separate rooms. I'm going to counter that and ask if y'all paid any attention to their romance thus far? It makes sense. I'm fine with the choice.The necklace reveal was fine, but initially I couldn't enjoy it because it's the first scene we get after the plethora of bad scenes that precedes it. So my head was still spinning. But in hindsight, it's cute. The kiss could've been better. BUT later on, they do give us yet another ThanuWayu kiss. But BETTER. It was so good, ohhh my word.We get the 2nd PokTong scene that's poorly placed in the middle of the resort scenes, but then we see Wayu in his room unable to sleep because of these weird noises and whatnot.So he goes to Thanu's room making all sorts of cute little excuses to try and ask Thanu if he could spend the night with him. Thanu, who's just not getting it, is like "Oh, I can call someone to fix your lamp?" Like, Thanu C'MON LOL.It was very nice seeing Wayu finally get out of shell about all the physically intimate stuff during this whole part. After the first kiss, he initiates contact by putting his head on Thanu's lap and allows Thanu to almost kiss him when they share food. BadPennyGirl headcanons Wayu as ace and I LOVE that headcanon SO much! It's so very fitting for him and I love the idea of a main character being ace. Very nice.----------------------Summary:Initially this episode came off as so very wacky and terrible. But then taking a second and thinking about everything...It's actually not too bad at all. The execution needs some help though. I can see myself rewatching certain scenes over and over again!
