Showcases stalking, harassment and toxic relationships in a positive light

I watched the first three episodes, and found myself in rollercoaster of disappointment. The younger girl's behavior towards the older woman was deeply unsettling. For the first and second episode we are introduced to the younger girl (Aueng) stalking, harassing and not respecting the older woman (Nueng)'s boundaries. Despite the older woman repeatedly telling the younger girl to stop following her from her art studio to her house, and to stop flirting with her but the younger girl doesn't stop and whenever the older woman calls her out on her actions she acts like a victim and tells the other woman she's being treated horribly. This kind of relationship perpetuates toxicity and entitlement in relationships.

One of he most concerning aspects of the story is the codependency between the two characters, particularly highlighted by multiple fans' comments. This along with the backstory involving the younger girl being the product of a failed abortion, wherein her mother was advised by Nueng to undergo adds massive layers of toxicity to an already toxic relationship. Themes like this misrepresent and almost taint LGBTQ+ relationships.

Furthermore, the younger girl being portrayed as very child-like despite being aged-up by the showrunner from 16 to 20 doesn't sit well with me. Let me clarify that I have no problem with age gaps given that both people are mature. In this GL the younger girl even though she's 20 acts like she's 12 because she had a premature birth. The younger girl, her father and her mother being romantically involved with Nueng also massively complicates an already complicated story. The worst GL in history.
