My Day (2020) Episode 11

Episode 11 is one of the best if not the best My Day episode. It still suffered from the usual issues of this series but there were noticeable improvements. The plot/storyline progressed significantly. Ace and Sky's intensifying intimacy was depicted in the love/sex scene, which is arguably wilder than what we've seen in Thai BL series like Together With Me, TharnType, Why R U?, etc. The peak of Moira's criminal activities was shown when aside from secretly taking a video of Ace and Sky having sex, she and her friend Celyn tried to kill Sky with peanuts. They then released Ace and Sky's sex video. Aside from attempted murder, they committed crimes under the Anti-Wiretapping Act of 1965, Anti-Photo and Video Voyeurism Act of 2009, Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, etc. I hope they go to prison for their crimes! But Moira did all these because Sky dumped her? It still doesn't make much sense because there's just no proper character background for Moira. She's just too one-dimensional. Of course, the most intense part of the episode was Ace's confrontation with his parents. While there were improvements in acting for Aki, and even Yul, the confrontation scene was still cringy with all the repetitive lines, all the shouting, and all the ugly crying. It was overdramatic especially with the entrance of Ace's mother with possibly her lover. The final scene with Ace in Sky's bedside wasn't perfect but it was definitely better in terms of acting. I'm still left wondering why Ace had to leave Sky like that after what they've been through but maybe the answers are in succeeding episodes. Even the production design and cinematography improved on this episode. Techniques were still simple but at least there were good camera shots. With all the progress on this episode, I'm really looking forward to how this season will end.
