let's clear some things up
let me start off by saying this series was such a delight! I loved the cast, the story, the comedy. had me hooked right from the start! it's saddening to know that I almost missed out on this because I almost listened to the bad reviews on here. to anyone questioning whether to watch this show or not, let me clear some things up.
First of all, TON is NOT homophobic. it was clear right from the start that he had feelings for chon. no straight man is gonna practically force himself in to his best friends bed and have him sit directly next to him sharing a bowl of noodles. He grew up with a seemingly homophobic father, which I later found he was really just overly concerned with having an heir, and yes parents values and attitudes do influence their children. he felt he had a duty to produce an heir so he did his best to push his feelings for chon down but in the end he couldn't do it. while he didn't quite choose the best words when keeping guys away from chon, he did so out of feelings for chon but still trying to do right by his duty.
I think we can all agree that Amp is trash. she was probably the only one on the show who was homophobic. she 100% deserved the treatment she got at the end and I don't feel bad for her in the slightest. Even though it would've been great for Nueang to receive more of a punishment for what he did to chon, he still got beaten up so I wouldn't say he fully got away with it.
now. the kiss. bit of a complicated situation but it's not what the 2 star reviewers are saying. ton didn't cheat. Amp goaded him on and, instead of walking away or ignoring her, he tried to prove a point by kissing her and showing her that it meant nothing to him. stupid move? yes. cheating? no. he's a 21 year old man with a short temper. he's not gonna think things through. chon did, however, have a good point. if anyone provoked ton like that would he kiss them too? while ton didn't intend to be unfaithful, he went about proving his point the wrong way. just like chon was wrong to kiss ton while he was asleep. they're young and they make bad decisions.
as far as the ending I do think it was a little rushed when chon forgave ton. honestly though I think he was just hoping for a good enough reason to forgive him. the thing with Miriam being a surrogate and the ending in general was pretty corny but hey the whole series was a romantic comedy so I'd say it fits lol
bottom line, there's no reason to judge these series so harshly. they're shows meant for enjoyment. don't like it? don't watch it. if we pick apart every single show and start talking about how things should be then it becomes work. conflicts and weird things are all a part of dramas. I don't watch these series for reality ?
