Same Love, New Place

We enter this episode meeting Teh and Oh-Aew as they say their last goodbyes to Phuket, their hometown. They are in a committed relationship with each other and share sweet, funny moments. Teh shares excitement about moving to Bangkok, while Oh-Aew seems reluctant to leave the beautiful island with its ocean and close proximity to his family. In this episode, we get to explore how both characters begin to cope with life in the busy city of Bangkok while also starting their college years. I love this first episode for its gradual pacing as well as its development for both our main characters in this time and space. I feel like within the hour the audience was allowed to really feel for Oh-Aew. The symbolism of the last scene really struck me. It is as if Oh-Aew is witnessing a fear of his, to open his eyes and not see Teh by his side. The episode does a good job at introducing new characters, who will most likely add to the complexity and drama that I foresee in the later episodes. One of the things I loved about the first season was its cinematic feel and its gradually paced storytelling. I'm definitely seeing that in this season as well and I am excited to see where this all goes.
