They weren't given to Lian as wedding gifts he has been legitimately buying then from the Kuraati family. Has wracked quite a bit of debt himself in doing so.

I don't think it addresses it to much In the show but the reason they were ok with it because of the grandfather had a male partner. Also Lian's family was very close to Kuea's family. I it's an interesting twist to be honest. I don't think it happens as much now but there was a practice in some Asian countries for families to kidnap a young female or male child from another family and then raise them together with the intention that they would marry eventually.

No from what I understand it was just a coincidence.

Here is thing he DID love him he just was angry and Lashed because the person that Kuea was presenting is not who he actually is

I stumbled onto her by accident and love her explanations ❤️

There's been several times where he said force doesn't work on Kuea so that's why he does things in a roundabout way. In the game never have I ever when Yi forces Kuea to admit he had a Ducati Lian was angry that Yi forced Kuea to make a confession he obviously wasn't ready to make. You know we will just have to agree to disagree on Lian's motivations 🙂.

No Nuea is only used as a plot device to make Lian jealous, which they really didn't show here and gave him a much bigger role.

I think the only problem with not having the talk is obviously when you're reading about it it's quite romanticized and it doesn't talk about the nitty gritty of having sex so I had romanticized it a lot and then when I actually did it I guess it was very different from what I had expected lol

I guess I view it more through the Dom/Sub lens. I have roped my partner into watching it and he is a Dom and we even discussed it as if that's what the relationship is Dom/Sub .

Lol Same I think I read my first romance in 7th grade, Somewhere In Time by Linda Lael Miller. When I was 15 I found The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by R.N Racquleur (not sure of the spelling) which was a pseudonym for Anne Rice in a box of books borrowed from my mom's friend.

😁

Can I just say I am loving this discussion? I had started to avoid MDL but have enjoyed reading everybody's posts.

😂.

If as a parent your child is watching a show like this then I would be sitting and having a conversation about it. That is just me though because my mom never had these kinds of conversations with me and I was reading things as a child that were completely inappropriate lol. When I asked her about once she said it saved her from having to have those embarrassing and awkward convos. I would hope that most parents would have one.

OMG! Thank so much for saying this!!!! I can enjoy their relationship because it's NOT REAL lol, it is fiction. Would I condone this in real life? No! Although I will admit an ALPHA personality is a bit of a turn on 🥵. I Love Dean and Pharm! Can't wait for Between Us 😁.

That's it exactly it's not meant to portray a realistic relationship, it's fiction lol

Lol

I know that they were so into each other that everything else kind of faded away but I kept thinking you guys need to get a room 🤣

He hasn't forced him though lol. In fact there have been a few times where Kuea has almost said something and stopped himself and Lian just smiles

I don't think trying to get him to be truthful is tearing down the walls by force. He just wants him to trust him enough to be open about who he is since they will be getting married. Even during the Pentagon when they were playing Never Have I Ever and Yi forced him to admit he had a superbike. The death glare Lian shot him from behind Kuea's back because he doesn't want Kuea to feel forced he wants him to tell on his own. He is trying to do it in a non-confrontational manner.

On this we agree but when you are almost like royalty there are certain lifestyle choices you are expected to make. They live in a completely different reality then we do.

Take the British Queen and Family as an example the Princes William and Henry. Their were certain schools that they were expected to attend from Primary School to Highschool, even Universities . Even for careers there is only certain ones that are approved for them to study and go into. While Prince William and Kate Middleton have broken with tradition for their children in a lot of respects it still within the realm of what would be acceptable.
Even Prince Harry as much as he was a wild child still only pursued careers that the royal family approved of like going into the military.

So while we cannot begin to comprehend such a restrictive lifestyle because we have always had the freedom to be who we are no matter what. That is the lifestyle that Kuea was raised into. So it's no wonder he hides who he is, I actually think that his parents would accept him tbh. When he was back in Thailand and wanted to switch degrees from political science to engineering, his dad immediate assumed it would be computer engineering but he actually never specified he just kind of nodded and went with it. His mom did say they would be fine with whatever he wanted to study. So I think it's just his own insecurities saying they wouldn't accept him.

Also Lian has supported him he knows he is in Automotive engineering, has he said anything or tried to get him to change degrees or even stopped him from studying at that university? No
He goes to The Gemini and listens to Kuea, when he found out Kuea had quit he and Jay worked together to get him back to the club. He even told Jay that he would leave the decision up to Kuea as to whether he wanted to perform.
He even sponsors the racetrack that Kuea likes to burn around on. So to me all these things say that Lian would accept who he is all he has to do is realize it.
