Ok I powered through watching the episode on train WiFi and Tumblr is barely loading so I can't do much but I just had to say:
[cut for spoilers]
1) Loved this episode, I think they nailed it at least for me, and I'm satisfied. I knew we weren't going to get everything I could want and am not surprised the show decided to make the higher philosophy point rather than the political point, even though I would have loved the latter. I am very satisfied with Pisaeng and Kawi agreeing together to not change their future and for Pisaeng to have gone back to the present rather than relive their lives as result.
2) I think the award for most correct about what was going to happen goes to @marbles290 ! Congratulations, I will send you a clowned correctly gif later if nobody else does it first.
3) This show continues to do things that I didn't even think of but love; did anyone else interpret what happened this episode as Kawi figuring out by Pisaeng's behaviour that he had time travelled (since he saw him with the music box), and baiting him into confessing by pretending to have deja-vu?
4) On the same track, how is everyone interpreting Kawi being braver this time? I took it that hearing he and Pisaeng last is what gives him the confidence to try things and be more himself or at least less fearful of making a fool of himself.
4) while we didn't get anything about Pisaeng and Kawi joining the good fight (tm) or about marriage equality exactly, I would like to think that the show is subtly choosing to tell us to keep it up via Max, and giving the audience hope that marriage equality is or can be achieved in Thailand in the future.
One thing: if we could not get Not being clowned by the narrative then I wish he had just faded away rather than being at Pear's wedding, he doesn't deserve to even be near her happiness (though I did notice he was not in the friendship group pic on Pisaeng and Kawi's photo table and that was satisfying).
Something I need to think about more: what does it mean for character consciousness that Kawi made reference to Pisaeng's time travel in the hospital? Did Kawi and Pisaeng of the past forget that Pisaeng had time travelled after Pisaeng moves forward to the future, until the timelines converged again? Did just Pisaeng forget, so Kawi could not make reference to it anymore until the timeline has caught up? I'm inclined to the latter because if I were in a relationship and knew they were going to do something reckless for me but they didn't know about it for years, I would be desperate to tease them about it once they had finally caught up too lol (the other option is they both retain their memories, of course, but then they both would have known in advance that the time travel was taking place so I don't think that one is right. But it's an option!)
This show is definitely winning an award from me for the biggest turn around from expectation to delivery (positive) lol. I've had a lot of fun!
Very excited to read everyone's thoughts when I can get Tumblr to load 💕
@waitmyturtles @dribs-and-drabbles @pandasmagorica @rocketturtle4 @thegalwhorants @visualtaehyun there are so many more people I am forgetting, pls forgive my elder millennial brain I will find you later!

Okay, for a moment there, I really thought we will have a sad ending 😅 The series didn't really reveal who the time-travel uncle was. However, I am satisfied with ending.
Also, Kawi saying "no" to marrying Pisaeng but still low-key planning their wedding just the same (e.g., inviting no more than 30 guest, no to beach weddings, must be held somewhere with airconditioner 😅😅😅) is hilarious.

I already miss them more than I can say🥺 my precious babies! I'm so grateful that they got a happy ending. Words can't explain how much this show has meant to me. It was cute, fun, entertaining, heartfelt & validating. Like a warm & comforting rainbow hug making my queer heart very happy🌈💜

Me while watching Be My Favorite Ep 12 (2/4): Wait an effing second. I know it has already been established that traveling back in time doesn't help with saving the dying (case in point, Kawi's dad). I swear, if this show ends up with Kawi dying regardless of what Pisaeng does in the past, I would riot.
