Reality slap slap

Such a heartbreaking story, as real life is. In my country we have a saying " life beats movies" meaning, whatever movie screen wright you see, there will always be a real story much more shocking to beat it.
The quote " if you expect life to be fair with your because you are fair, is like expecting the lion to not eat you just because you didn't eat him." summaries the first 10 episode of the movie and the nativity of the FL, thou I believe was more reality rejection than nativity, she is no stupid lady.
There are a lot of stories about how opposite attracts, related to couples, not so much related to friendships, but this is the same or even more accurate for friendship. I life long friend, you expect to be there for you in good and bad and not betray you. Again, as in a couple relation, in friendship one part will be the one more understanding and giving to the other part.
I saw the main story here as but the journey of 2 friends, 2 sides of the coin trough life. and I saw the romance story the background story to give it meaning. I can say I found the ML disgusting real. Was he bad, no.. he was just a weak human. Why ? because we all have desires and lust, but here comes what separates us from animals, the power to decide to reject this behaviors. Why Pim forgive him at the end? I have literally no god damn idea and is pissing me off, things like : he didn't love her, or he was doing this for revenge? Seriously, are this comforting anybody ? Is just lying to yourself and is even more damaging for your own soul than what other people are doing to you.
I can say I appreciate people who from the beginning say they cannot commit and they stay to casual relationship, at least they are true to themselves and also they don't hurt people around them.
Finalizing and revisiting some key scenes of the movie, I still have some pending questions : are we really able to forgive and forget cheating ? are we able to erase from our minds the moments when we saw our partners with another person? can trust be rebuild?
Don't get me wrong, lots of couples are cheating and they still stay together, but is there still a unity between them ? when you put your head on the pillow next to the partner who cheated you, can you still sleep comfortable? Here is where the movie went terribly wrong for me.... I would have still helped Jai Rerng and also Rerk to raise the baby and keep a civilized relation with them, but going back together and live happily ever after ? Seriously, no !
Overall all I give it 9.5 as it kept me talking with the characters while I was watching it :)
