Episode 23 is the turning point Tiger has been waiting for over six years. Nao finally begins to realize that the person he cannot imagine living without has always been Tiger. The drama handles this realization naturally, showing how love can become difficult to recognize when two people have spent so many years together. Tiger's quiet patience makes this episode especially rewarding, and his gentle expression after Nao accepts his feelings says more than words ever could. Meanwhile, Singha and Ben's storyline grows increasingly painful as Singha's political marriage threatens to separate them. The contrast between one couple moving toward happiness and another facing heartbreak gives the episode strong emotional balance. A warm and satisfying chapter with excellent character development.
