maybe i like my personal weatherman so much bc i too would like someone who would let me live at their house at their expense while i pursue arts and crafts

[befuddledcinnamonroll]

If you keep up with me, I’ll keep on coming back

If you do it too good, I’m gonna get attached

Cause it feels like heaven when it hurts so bad

Baby put it on me, I like it just like that, just like that

I’ve been a nasty girl, nasty

[befuddledcinnamonroll]

Arrrgh, we are definitely getting some foreshadowing here. :(

[befuddledcinnamonroll]

I can already tell this episode is going to bring the tears.

Why is everyone in this show so cute together!?!

[befuddledcinnamonroll]

Y'all are making me want to watch Revenged Love so badly, but I have so many series I am already trying to keep up with. QL 2025 fandom problems. 😭

Huyền & Nhiên - Khánh & Bảo

They deserve happiness and love. Give them a second season so they can fully live it.

[befuddledcinnamonroll]

They really have no chance. They were raised by an homophobic father, crushed by family expectations while they only wanted to be able to love freely the one they want.

I really like that they were supportive of each other's relationship no matter what. Huyen could have been angry that her brother didn't tell her, he was dating Bao, but she didn't. She knows very well, what is it to hide who you are. She did it and her brother told her, he would help her anyway to be able to stay with her girlfriend.

When their father was angry at Khanh and slapped him, she tried to get in between. She was ready to tell the truth to save her brother because she couldn't stand the fact he was getting punished because he was with Bao. She knows she would have faced the same prejudice as her brother, but she still tried to tell her truth.

However, Khanh didn't let her because he is just the same as her: he wants to protect her. He gave his words he would handle it and he doesn't want to see her to get hurt in any way. When Khanh is loving someone, he is ready to face any injustice and to fight for them until the end.

While their father was insulting him and belittling him because he is gay, she stood her ground and defending him. She reminded her parents that he hasn't changed just because he loves a man. He did so much for their family.

She sees herself in Khanh because she knows they would face the same prejudice. She can't understand why her parents can't be happy for him and support him. They did nothing wrong: they just want to be free to love whoever they want and be themselves. It doesn't mean they don't respect their family.

Unfortunately for her, their father is narrow-minded.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, My Sweet Brother in Law, how can you do us like that?!

If we don't get a second season, I'm gonna cry.

There have been so many amazing insightful things written about the RamilPaytai scene, but also - can we take a moment to appreciate Jimmy's absolutely gorgeous long legs?

I do believe the expression "legs for days" applies here.

[befuddledcinnamonroll]

I honestly think dealing with an angry rain is scarier than dealing with an angry phayu. Like phayu is going to try to take the non violent route every chance he gets. Rain is going to locate the most vulnerable part of your body and then brutally attack it as hard as he can then turn around and be the happy ball of sunshine he usually is while you are writhing on the ground in pain

Angry Payu:

LET'S BREAK DOWN THIS WHOLE MANIPULATIVE MASTERPIECE

Because I think it's super impressive that Pathapi broke apart Tamtawan's entire collected facade in thirty seconds.

Meticulously, too.

First, Phi licked his mouth, which is something he remembered doing to Tam years ago. And is still an absolutely buckwild thing to do in the first place.

Now, if you'll notice, class, Tam's eyes are still open here because he's frozen and has no idea how to take back control. This is him at his most vulnerable in the entire series so far, because even in the bathroom scene, Tam was able to retreat after Phi asked him directly why he left. Here, he can't hide. Phi's already seen everything he's been keeping in his bedroom, and now Phi knows Tam still loves him.

And it's that lapse in Tam's control that allows Phi the chance to kiss him, which gets Tam to close his eyes.

Immediately.

Even though it's not even a proper kiss, just a grazing of lips, that's the first time Phi's kissed him in years.

And this little face-off is delightful to me, because the difference in their expressions couldn't be clearer: Tam's still on the back foot, and Phi's carefully measuring how affected Tam is by what he's doing.

Intimate scenes like this can provide a ton of nuanced information about a dynamic. And there's history in Tam's eyes. Up until this point in the series, Tam's mostly been able to keep up a front or run when Pathapi gets too close, but this is the first time he's not trying to do either.

I think he's choosing not to. Once he swallows there, he's made up his mind to follow through on this Terrible Decision (TM).

And Phi's expression shifts to this intriguing mix of, like, smug and annoyed. He's already asked Tam why he came back twice and asked him why he left once; I think he's decided not to ask anything more. He's seemingly content with the temporary win of 1) having the upper hand, and 2) Tam letting him have it.

The second kiss is longer and more engaged on both sides. Tam even closes his eyes for it again. But Phi's still the one who goes in for it. Still the one leading.

And that last separation -

Phi stops the kiss and gets to see for himself that every defensive wall Tam had up has been wrecked.

And now my favorite bit:

This part is quick, but there's so much going on in it. Tam's brought his hand up to Phi's neck and jaw, and Phi's expression has changed again to pure want and focus, whereas Tam is just intent on Phi's mouth and the moment.

And this time, Phi doesn't initiate the kiss. Tam does.

This whole scene is phenomenal, but I especially love everything about this nonverbal section.

In thirty seconds, Pathapi managed to shatter Tam

and find his Tawan underneath.

So yeah, Krist and Singto are stupidly talented actors and this scene in their hands is so wildly nuanced and hot, they get a standing ovation for it for all eternity.

(Also holy shit the music. Whoever picked it is Good at Their Job.)
