The last two episodes of this arc were too lousy but its expected from New😅

Wish they keep it as it in the novel TawanAran are toxic af and shouldnt be together but gmm will definetly tone it down and make them be together💀

Tbh Santa has always been a stronger actor in the melodramatic scenes but yeah I agree New pushes a certain style for these actors as you said (satang in We Are, Earth in Fourever You).
Literally in the first episode behind the scenes he tells Santa to make his tone while speaking “more higher”😭🤦🏻‍♀️

Tbh both of them have been looking haggered recently hope they get enough rest.

As their part in P10Ls ended I just cant wait to see how these two will perform in this series which will clearly have a melodramatic side to it and I think this is where both of these actors excel at imo!

Been saying since last week this “redemption” arc was truly not needed as it easily invalidates what her sons went through🤦🏻‍♀️

In the novel he is more childish lol Santa’s version is a lot more toned down but you can still see that New’s influence is there when it comes to the overall charecterization of Gun in the series😅

I didnt have high expectations for the novel adaptation tbh especially under someone like New. For a first work and given the circumstances where Santa had to join suddenly I think they both did the best they could with such a directing style and a shaky script.
I look forward for their next work under director Dome and I’m sure both will be given more roles in the future given their talent.

Indeed.

Also Warit with the ever passive-aggressive and unecessary attitude in the scene with Gun at the bar’s washroom he was like: “oh, I had Yotha first, and I know him best, even better than himself but I choose klao so I’ll pass him over to you”
Never seen a character so self absorbed and self-centered🙂

They really always ham up many of these endings lol

Loved the scene when Yotha gifted Gun that new tie with Gun's birthday date on it it was very sweet and it showed how far along they both came when it comes to "understanding and trusting" eachother.
Also in the first scene in the episode Santa's eyelashes were so long and gorgeous I envy this man.

My thoughts regarding your doubts over some of the key points of this plot:
He didnt really "declare his love only to Wa" during the walk with Gun he was providing context and letting him know that they used to date eachother but was heartbroken by how Wa ended the relationship with him and how difficult it is for him to be in a commited relationship as he is afraid of going through the same fate as he did with Wa in the same scene when Gun asks him "what am I to you" he states that he is someone whom he cares a lot for (and it just emphasized their situationship status) as to why you think Gun's reaction to that didnt make sense? He was well aware that he is in a "situationship with Yotha" in Ep 12 Yotha makes a deal with him and clearly states that he does have "feelings" for him however he doesnt know when to confirm it to Gun (given his past traumatic relationship with Wa and issues with his parents' divorce). Could the explanation for that kiss Gun saw been better maybe yes but it was still in line with the fact that Gun himself knew that him and Yotha are not official/still in this situationship so he really had no "right to question it" like he tells Faifa in Ep13.
The reaction of Gun after witnessing Yotha/Klao getting into a fight with that gang (Ep13) was an initial look at how sheltered someone like Gun is and how far different their worlds are that along with him witnessing Yotha kissing Wa earlier after Yotha gave him a big lead on earlier in the day just made him more confused, insecure and seek help in a close friend like Faifa hence his request to change rooms with Kong.
Regarding your last point think you just confused the sequence of these events that promise by Gun was his initial "masked" reply to Yotha on that beach talk he pretended to be "patient" for Yotha's answer but this is later on debunked by Gun himself when he confides in Faifa again when he feels that the waiting is getting too difficult and he becomes insecure. Later on the whole Yotha/Mother/conversation with his older brother Newton scene occurs and it triggers his fears again, he becomes insecure and acts cold again towards Gun so feeling bad for making him wait (because Gun starts to ask him for an answer after Faifa tells him that its okay to ask Yotha regardless of having have to wait for Yotha trying to figure it out) it is then when Yotha decides to tell him that he would be fine if Gun finds someone else and "moves onto them" (clearly doesnt match his conflicted feelings) he later on retracts it when he realizes how much Gun means to him yes he doesnt give an answer right away but brings him a step closer to his "answer/declaration" which is triggered later on in Ep 15 when both him and Gun get into a fight with that gang again.

GMM needs a whole reform in this aspect I have seen the same shit handling of such conflicts/traumas even in some of their more "acclaimed" shows like Last Twilight.

Agreed writing was all over the place and very disjointed in this episode and the entire "Mother redemption" arc was nonsensical and unnecessary imo.

I wanted to break my screen so bad. I feel like Yotha also felt so guilty for Faifa because of that (we see in the next episode's preview his concern regarding that).

Think its just the direction in this show tbh his style was different under director Dome in LYT (his next show with Santa).

WORST MOTHER EVER.
YOTHA AND FAIFA DESRVE BETTER.
YOU TRIED GMM/NEW.

He is unhinged lol

Understandable. They failed massively trying to redeem that good for nothing mother.
