She returned home with a headstrong, openly gay and righteous son who is determined to stay true to himself, to live the life he wants to live, who is not gonna live in a lie for her, and who is going to be very vocal about his sexual orientation onwards. She has been living in pain and misery that her husband loved her best friend all his life and probably was ready to choose him over her, and from now this feeling is doubled, she is going to live with the pain and misery that her son fell in love with the same man and he was also ready to choose him over her. How is that a victory and how is that what she wanted? Wang made a promise not to leave her but he is never going to live in her fantasy world. That is what she wants and she is never going to get this.

In might be confused whether what he feels is still a love for Siam and not Wang, but that goes the the other way around too. Wang's love may well be as questionably going for In and not a father figure. It is something only they know themselves, it could even be a mixture of those feelings.

What did she win?

You surely know better than the character himself.

When he gave the hug back In confirmed he feels the same for Wang.

You are making too many unfounded assumptions and you come to generally very superficial and/or false conclusions.
- She did not tell In to stay away from her husband. She only asked for his help to get Siam for herself in college. When they meet decades after In left, Mol reprimands In for his disappearance from their life, that is how the first episode starts. That is a direct contradicition of your theory, so you just made this up.
- We don't know if Siam committed suicide. It is more likely that he suffered a fatal car accident because he was so upset and hard-pressed from Mol wanting to confront him with his sexuality that night.
- In did not comply with Mol because she asked him, he did it because he is still terrified by his own instincts and feelings.
- Wang returns to Bangkok because whom he chosen was still not ready to be with him (or with anyone else). He is still unhappy, but he is going to heal, and he still remains the rebellious, free-spirited, righteous person who stands up to himself, against her mother too, as we have seen this frequently.
- Mol is not happy. As selfish and egocentric she is, she has deep scars and demons, I have detailed this earlier.
- Wang returns to Bangkok becasue as he told In, the time is on his side and soon he gets the upper hand. He finishes college, he already knows what he wants to study and he is going to live his life once he makes himself free. Wang driving into the sunset and leaving everyone behind would have trivialized and juvenilized this mature decision. And he is the most mature person out of them all.
People get butthurt when others say they don't understand the complexity of this series when they complain, but what else once could say if we come across such comments?

As much as Mol frequently said homophobic remarks, I really do not think she would have said In "disgusts" her because of his sexual orientation. She is "disgusted" because In fell in love with the son of the man with whom they loved each other, and that is what In apologised for too, not for loving a man. For being the love of both her husband and her son, the two most important persons of her life who apparently were both ready to choose him over her.

Finally someone has the same take as mine at Mol's reaction when she found out the love is mutual between In and Wang. As much as Mol frequently said homophobic remarks, I really do not think she would have said In "disgusts" her because of his sexual orientation. She is "disgusted" because In fell in love with the son of the man with whom they loved each other, and that is what In apologised for too, not for loving a man. For being the love of both her husband and her son, the two most important persons of her life who apparently were both ready to choose him over her.

For this erudite and complex comment it was really worth creating an account. The world would be a drearier place without your testament, for sure.

Those saying that Mol got what she wanted and things like homophobia won are missing the point and stuck on the surface. Mol did not win.

She has been living with the consciousness that her husband loved In all his life since forever and from now on this is reinforced with her son's love for the same person. She was babbling nonstop about superifical stuff like sunglasses, because that is her defense mechanism. She has been running away from the truth into ceaseless chatter. That is why she does not stop blustering in the car either, but she exactly knows that her son is still thinking about In. When she is left alone with her wine again, those two demons return to haunt her forever. She is anything but a winner.

She could wreck this relationship but only because Wang chose the person who is still afraid of following his instincts. But she still has a headstrong son who, although he promised not to leave her, is determined to follow his dreams, live a life he wants to live and proclaim his sexual orientation bravely. And that is not gonna change. Wang is not gonna live in a lie for her.

Who cannot sympathize with In at all did not understand a word from this series.

That was not completely closed out. In told him that this 52HZ whale will always be there for him. Wang doubts In will ever be able to free himself, but as we saw him at the bridge, he keeps trying. A middle-aged man who isolated himself from his instincts for decades cannot change in a few days for good.

It was still open in a way. In keeps trying to cross the bridge and be true to himself even if it is an uphill fight and we know Wang is determined to free himself from Mol even if he does not break ties with her. They may never end up together but they both try, while Mol is forever locked in her faux life.

This. And Wang is determined to be true to himself in the future.

They just wanted to see In and Wang walking hand in hand to the sunset, leaving the hissable Mol behind. But this series has always been more than that since episode 1.

At least it was until now. The black and white fluff lovers are on the rise.

But he tried and I honestly think he keeps trying in the future. He is the middle road between Wang and Mol. That was the message, I am sure.

Realistic and fitting ending to a fantastic series. Wang is the new generation who will finally break away from the hypocrisies of the older generation. In is a self-admitted coward who still cannot be true to himself but after their departure he may keep trying at least, as we saw him trying to cross the bridge. Wang is going to be free, In might keep trying even if he fails and Mol stays in her false fantasy world forever. The perfect representation of three different mindset in a changing world. Those who hoped for fluff will be disappointed, but this series was made for adults in the first place.

My problem is not that it is not liked by everyone. It is natural, nothing could be liked by all. Btw the comments are overwhelmingly positive here (rare thing for this site) and wherever I have come across this show being discussed in BL groups nearly everyone praises it.
My problem is that for some there is no arty only artificial, and there is no highbrown or downbeat just pretentious. And most of all, when they picture their personal dislike for a certain genre/kind of entertainment as an objective failure of the show. I have seen similar under the comment section of On Cloud Nine, where people were pissed at the show being precisely what it aimed to be.
