I think so too. It's hard to cut ties with your family. But if that's the only way for him to start feeling better and finally live for himself, then I really hope he can do it.

Yes, exactly.

I was shocked when Xiaofan's mother made it clear that he was being sacrificed for his brother, his sister, and the whole family. What made it even worse was that she tried to justify it by saying it was a good thing that the Lu family chose him because he is patient and gets along well with people. That scene really broke my heart for Xiaofan, and it reminded me of a quote from another drama: "Why do resilient people have to suffer more? Just because I'm reasonable, does that mean you deserve to drain me dry?" I think this quote perfectly describes Xiaofan and everything his own family puts him through.

I also noticed that his mother only defends him when it benefits her, usually because she wants to ask him for something afterward. For example, when his brother wanted Xiaofan's phone, she defended him by telling her other son, "You're always jealous of what your brother has." But not long after that, she asked Xiaofan to find a husband for his sister, preferably Lu Qing. At first, I thought she was finally coming to her senses and realizing she had gone too far. But then I realized she only defends Xiaofan when she wants something from him. She did it again when she said it wasn't Xiaofan's fault that his brother lost his job, but right after that, she asked Xiaofan to ask Lu Qing to help his brother find another job.

This woman is so cruel and hypocritical toward her own son that I don't even have the words to describe her anymore. And Xiaofan's father is even worse. Honestly, he should just stay quiet. Every time he opens his mouth, he only says something stupid. I don't think I've ever heard him say a single sensible thing.

I really loved the last two episodes, especially when Xiaofan finally decided to take control of his own life and cut ties with the Lu family. That was such a satisfying moment. Sadly, it didn't last very long. We all knew his greedy family would never let him go that easily.

I sincerely believe that if Ramphueng had a choice, she would have chosen what was best for herself. She would not have become pregnant or fallen in love with a man who already had two wives (although I think it was more gratitude towards the master than love).

I also think that even if the master (Phra Yao Sing) had not taken Ramphueng as his mistress, he would inevitably have taken one or more other women until one of them gave him a male heir.

I apologize if I am misinterpreting things, but your comment gives me the impression that because Ramphueng was this man's mistress, she deserved the atrocities that were done to her.
At that time, a servant's fate was not her own.
