The ghost of May represents Phayu's guilt. He doesn't see the hallucination when he's with Satsuki because he's present in the moment.
However, Phayu needs to apologize to May for wasting her time in their relationship. May had to fill the shoes of both boyfriend and girlfriend and it was emotionally exhausting and unfair to her. I do admit that Phayu and Satsuki is cute though!
I think now that Jira did it with Koh, I feel like Jira might tell Pheem that he's with Koh. And I also feel like…
Yes, THAT ending. I'm actually hoping that Nuchy change it, but I'm also hoping that in the end, the three go their separate ways. However, with a sappy romantic OST like that? KohJira is going to end up together.
Random but, I love how your comment is so coherent and enjoyable to read. You seem like you understand art very…
Oh, thank you so very much! You've made my day. 😄 Actually, I started out in art when I was in school, but my true passion was in writing. However, I never stopped learning and appreciating art. And now that my best friend is a local artist, we tend to visit art exhibitions and spend time interpreting the displayed art.
Pheem keeps wondering why Jira can't draw him as he drew Koh and after finally meeting the full painting? Yikes! It's like the saying goes, be careful what you wish for.
After rewatching episode 8, despite the confessions, the rainy kisses and the atmosphere, what stood out for me was the ending when Pheem's painting was finally revealed.
Pheem is painted as tension. Jira's depiction of Pheem lacks spectacle. For me, what the art reveals is Jira's state of mind. When he draws the "delicate and strong" Koh, he elevates Koh's desire into something floral and sacred, compared to Pheem's very human flat presence. Koh's paintings are throbbed with sensuality.
When Jira feels alive, the canvas breathes and evokes his desire. There's intimacy, there's warmth, there's invitation, and most importantly, color blooms like newly opened flowers. 🌺
With Pheem, it's like Jira finally recognizes the man hidden inside Pheem: a figure that's unsettling, unfinished, a long work in progress. There's no desire lingering there. He paints Pheem as he sees him, no imaginative symbolism, compared to how he paints Koh.
Pheem asked for it because he kept begging Jira to draw him as he drew Koh, trying to force creativity on canvas. He wants to be seen as desirable to Jira's eyes, but Jira's like nope, here's some accuracy instead. Based on Pheem's posture, almost tortured, it feels like someone given rather than someone chosen.
Jira isn't celebrating Pheem. He didn't paint a lover, he painted a loss because Pheem - although part of Jira's becoming - is not Jira's destination.
As for whatever relationship Koh thinks he has with Jira, it's moving super speed fast. Its going to crash and burn and they'll have no choice but to part. Its a disaster in the making. I feel as if Koh values Jira more in his life than Jira values Koh in his. Who knows? Maybe in the end they'll make a truce and stay friends? 😜
I know! Koh always looks peaceful when he's asleep. I feel like next episode will be KohJira honeymoon phase,…
If this series were to say, at least 14 episodes, I think we might have gotten some of these tropes. With only two episodes left, I can't think about what revenge Pheem can exact except being spiteful. 🤔 But he did tell Mawin that next time he'd be the one to make Jira pay, so let's see if he'll feed Jira some of Koh's secrets or leak something.

FINALLY! My MileJen ship is sailing! Best highlight of this episode for me.
