The Edge of Horizon Episode 8 Reactions
After episode seven I went down a rabbit hole reading all the Wikipedia articles about the historical events that this drama revolves around. I found all of them fascinating, and the drama seems to portray them reasonably accurately, from what I can tell. All in all I'm very impressed with this drama, and would give the drama as a whole a 10, but this episode drove me nuts.
I'm getting quite frustrated with Prince Thinnakorn's absolute spinelessness, inability to stand up for himself, and constant self-blaming for things that his father did. Clearly he is the soft/gentle type, and I'm trying to buy into it, but I found myself yelling at my computer screen multiple times this episode, asking him why he can't stand up for himself, just once. I'm not saying there shouldn't be drama in a situation like this, but really Prince Thinn, grow up!

Though the 1932 historically was a bloodless coup, this show effectively portrays how the nobility dealt with the changes. Though bloodless, revolutions creates chaos and disruption to the norm. As governmwnt learns to figure out what it should be, sacrifices are inevitable. The writers did their homework and beautiful weaves the story of Phob and Tin during this tumultuous times. Creating the tension that keeps pulling them apart, the consequences of the action, and inevitably the life they will live. In the next episodes I’m preparing myself the painful truth and reality. Maybe I would prefer that than a fairy tale ending. Because it would be real. But of course people generally prefer a happy ending. Maybe there will be, but later in life.

Episode 8 was so heartbreaking.
It feels like Phob was trapped between two impossible choices, his duty as a soldier serving his country, or the man he loves. He was put in an impossible situation, but in the end, he chose what he believed was right.
But I keep thinking, what if Phob had chosen Prince Tin instead? What if they had run away together and simply chosen each other?
Would they really have been happy?
I feel like Phob would have carried the guilt of knowing he abandoned his duty and failed his country. Even if he had Tin beside him, a part of him would always wonder if he had made the wrong choice.
And yet, by choosing his duty, he lost Tin anyway.
That is what makes their story so painful. Phob chose to do what he believed was right, only to face the consequence of losing the person he loved most.
That scene between Phob and his mother broke me. I really feel like his mother saw Tin and deliberately said those things, making it sound like Prob only came back to Tin because he wanted to continue with his plans, not because he truly loved him.
And Tin heard every word.
He misunderstood everything.
Then he ran off into the rain, crying, and honestly, watching him break down like that completely broke me.
Because Tin had already given up so much for Phob. He was willing to throw away his royal status, his wealth, his entire life as a prince, just so he could run away and be with the man he loved.
He chose Phob over everything.
And what did he get in return?
He felt betrayed. He felt unwanted. He thought the love he believed in was never real. And somehow, even while his heart was breaking, he was still apologising to his father, believing that everything was his fault.
That hurts so much.
Tin was willing to lose his crown for Phob, while Phob was willing to lose Tin for his duty.
Neither of them stopped loving the other.
They simply chose different things when life forced them to choose.
I think their breakup was inevitable. Maybe they needed to lose each other before they could truly understand what they had.
But when they finally find their way back to each other, I know it is going to be explosive.
Because this is not a love that simply disappeared.
This is a love that was sacrificed, misunderstood, buried beneath duty, guilt, family, and heartbreak.

10/10 acting, but i don’t understand at all why the nobles are being portrayed as victims? and tinn’s entire family is genuinely schizophrenic talking about some “they’re sending the royals into exile” i think perhaps the royals are sending themselves into exile? which is crazy because if they really loved the country they’d stay and fight? the only people in this entire show that are doing anything right are janthorn and siri, every single word that comes out of their mouths is absolute truth. especially when phob was crying about ‘losing everything’ and janthorn has to sit there and tell him that he’s not the only one, like i understand phob but holy all about me mindset… and then phob gaslights himself into believing he’s ’not worthy’ of tinnakorn when he literally fought to change the system so they could be together. tinn’s dad is the usual villain this episode and keeps talking about the revolutionaries being evil straight to tinn’s face, and tinn just sits there like yes dad they’re evil. kitti starting to show his true colors with the censorship of the papers, and nobody even listens to the only woman in the room which is pretty historically accurate, probably why the new govt ended up being bad. absolutely enraging episode -2 points

Episódio foi muito bom, mas eu gostaria que focassem mais no povo e não nos nobres, me sinto realmente injuriada com os nobres se fazendo de coitado como se o que tivessem feito para Siam fosse realmente o melhor, até mesmo o pai do Tin se vê como um salvador para Phob, só por ter pago a escola dele? O mesmo homem que o espancou sem piedade quando descobriu que o Tin e o Phob estavam juntos agora diz que o Phob estava sendo egoísta e ingrato apesar de tudo que ele tinha feito para Phob.... Definitivamente eles agindo como se tratar o Phob minimamente como humano permitindo que ele tivesse uma educação fosse um privilégio só mostrou que eles não vêem o Phob e os outros cidadãos de Siam em pé de igualdade, a mãe de Phob também enxerga a nobreza como os salvadores da pátria, a mente dessa mulher foi complemente corrompida pelos anos de serviço no palácio sendo obrigada a se ajoelhar na frente daquela família, a frase dela comparando o Phob com um cachorro que mordeu a mão de quem o alimentou só mostrou isso, que ela se vê como inferior a eles, enquanto Phob luta pela igual, pela democracia e pelo bem do povo de Siam todas as pessoas importantes para ele foram embora, até sua mãe ficou do lado dos nobres e não do próprio filho, Tin disse que eles não são pessoas que podem se amar, é completamente triste ver o Phob um homem tão preocupado pelo bem da população perder pessoas que ele considera importante, na verdade eu não me importo sobre o Phob ter escondido o que ele tava fazendo de Tin, eu não poderia me importar menos, ele fez aquilo pela pátria que ele ama que ele quer ver bem, a única parte desse episódio foi que focou mais nos nobres "sofrendo" com a mudança de regime sendo completamente hipócritas e novamente tivemos poucas cenas mostrando como a população vivia de forma precária, assim daria para fazer a comparação de perguntar se alguém deveria ser grato a realeza que deixa sua própria nação passando fome.

They broke me into a million pieces… I can’t stop crying. This episode ruined me. I can’t even get angry or mad at Phob or Tinn because their feelings are valid in their own way… but why do I feel so broken? 😭💔 Please, as a viewer, I’m begging you… give them a happy ending. They deserve it after everything they’ve been through.
