Don't Be Too Emotional Episode 6

Every couple sooner or later are looked upon by family and friends as a pair, but in truth each one takes a separate path to becoming that pair. Keng and Tee may be 8 years apart as actors, but they are in emotional depth equal partners in this difficult weaving together of Big Jane's troubled past that has shaped his view of life as transactionally contractual and Little Jane's sunny view of the goodness of people and his optimistic approach to life. In this episode, a pivot point has been dramatically reached where, like the scales in the traditional medicine store of his parents, the price of being happy together is weighed against the price of being unhappy apart. Whether it will be their characters or unpredictable events that will determine the outcome is not known, but it will reveal if their story is a tragedy or romance.

DBTE is developing as a fascinating study in how gossip and word of mouth shape and direct reactions and behaviours among those in a social circle. Heng is doing a terrific job showing us his conflict between his attraction to Big Jane and his susceptibility to the opinions of his peer group; I'm beginning to wonder about his judgement. Surely, at some point, Big Jane has to be asking himself whether someone so unsure of himself as Jane appears to be is worth pursuing.
