I really liked 90% of this special, but the inclusion of that Lhong scene towards the end really annoys me. This is supposed to be a nice, peaceful story about Tharn and Type, without the fighting and crying. We got the short scenes with the friends, which I’m totally okay because it grounds the present day with the past, as well as ties it more with Love by Chance.

I liked the story of them going back to visit Type’s parents, which gave us cute couple scenes at the beach. But I’m glad we got to see Type apologizing to Kom and being proud of saying out loud that he got a boyfriend. It was also nice to understand that Type was Kom’s first love, so that explains why he always stood there listening to his hateful comments.

But they had to include that Thorn and Lhong scene. It only confirms that absolutely nothing happened to Lhong, who’s living well abroad. Zero consequences to the despicable thing he did. Regarding Thorn, I really don’t get him. How can he can pretend that Lhong only type a small thing and should be happier?! Thorn has two biological siblings, he’s creepy towards the little sister and sometimes looks concerned about Tharn. While he’s got two “I consider you like a brother” guys, both did bad things and hurt his brother. It doesn’t make sense. I can try to pretend that I understand how he could still care and be friends with San, who’s been his best friend for years. But Lhong? No way.

The fact that we got that scene of Thorn basically forgiving Lhong bring the whole special down for me.
