And I love Phob's mindset. The reason why I can't have a relationship with the one I love is that he's a noble while I'm a servant? No problem, I'll crush the whole political and social system and I'll get my man. This is what I call problem solving.
I'm loving this so much! It's the only airing show at the moment that makes me curse when the episode ends :). The only problem I have is deciding which is more beautiful, Ongsa or Inn.
He won't heal until he accepts the fact that he is wounded.Can you imagine Itsuki doing that?Can you imagine him…
"Sadly, I believe the future Itsuki will end up as a suicide, a tropical fish that can't take the heat of the world in which he was placed, gone belly-up as a result. On this matter, the script was not subtle"
this is so spot on and perfectly said.
It resonated with me because I understand the feeling of always being out of step with mainstream society. However, feeling out of step cannot become an excuse to justify any shortcomings or to blame society for one’s own sense of inadequacy. As you rightly point out, Itsuki needs a journey of self-awareness and healing—which doesn’t mean he has to conform to imposed social standards, but that he can learn to live within them without building defensive walls.
Unfortunately, we know full well that he’ll never do that.
The only thing I’m satisfied about, is the shitty father didn’t get his usual shitty redemption a the end. But then again, he didn’t get an end at all, as well as his son and a lot of other subplot lines.
Among Catholics, it is absolutely not forbidden for a priest to love; quite the contrary. They are forbidden,…
Well, yes and no. Loving and being in love are not the same thing. Of course, a priest can love, but if he falls in love with someone (be it a man or a woman), he must choose between remaining a priest and being in a relationship. If this were not the case, Tanrak would not have to choose between god and Barth. This is because it is his duty to love everyone without distinction and, ultimately, to love god above all else. Being in love with someone can make him doubt his loyalty to god. Of course, this is true in the abstract; the reality of things is far less idealistic. In my first comment, I wanted to highlight the difficulty of celibacy.
I’m a wreck. I had to stop for a minute after Barth called the answering machine Just to hear his mother’s voice because my eyes couldn’t stop leaking. Missing your mom is so painful that I think I Will forever be triggered by that feeling.
The series is amazing in every aspect, there’s absolutely nothing I would change.
Barth and Tanrak are fighting against two different enemies at once. One is a relationship not approved by society and their religious backgrond. The other is Tanrak’s vocational call from god that would require him not to have a relationship at all, not even with a woman, as becoming a catholic priest requires celibacy. In fact when he confessed to the father, he didn’t point being in love with a Man as his sin, but being in love at all. How terrible can it be to feel that loving someone is something you should resist and avoid?
The catholic way of thriving on believers’ constant sense of guilt is something I will always be grateful to have left behind.
I can’t begin to describe how disappointed I am. I want to go back in time and pretend the last episode doesn’t exist so I can make up my own ending. They need to stop this “pos parent turning suddenly good without consequences” storyline. It got old a long time ago.
On a different note, I love Up, but here I found him out of focus as a character. It felt like watching Gene from My lovely writer wearing cop’s clothes.
Singto definitely stole the show, sort of like a real Life Grogu 😄. But I wonder: it’s good that the kid helped bringing both families together, but what’s gonna happen when his mother finds a new partner and eventually remarries? How many fathers are there gonna be?
Not really good but not really Bad either. It had a lot of potential but it was wasted along the way with a weak script. The action scenes were very good tho and I appreciated the overall thriller vibe.
After the diy stitches we get the diy tattoos. Kudos to their steady hands and ability to draw the exact same image without a stencil while making out. I'm impressed. Of course we don't give a damn about hygiene and safety, just get a tattoo machine and shine.
"Bowl Cut needs to control his mouth before he says something to out them."I don’t think Bowl Cut (hilarious…
I thought, reading the comments, that I was the only one under the impression that the coworkers still didn't know that Ryo and Zen are together. As you said, at the party they asked about their girlfriends, and in the final scene they said "now that they are both married", which doesn't imply that they are married to each other. At least according to the english subtitles, but it may be a matter of translation.
Wayu was fighting against the dad for a month and refused to give up even with everything awful that the dad did…
Thank you for your answer, the book version is in fact more logical and makes sense. In the series the dad issue is never really addressed, neither by Wayu nor by Krit. Krit going back to pursue Wayu without facing his father first doesn't make much sense to me. I guess we're gonna have another shitty parent who suddenly and magically comes to his senses in the last episode and, just like that, everything's forgiven.
I’m genuinely curious to understand how and why Yuma and Itsuki fell in love and got together.
How did the spark happen? (If it ever really happened.) They’re two people with such different personalities that I have a hard time finding a real connection. I just can’t picture them falling in love with each other and being in a romantic relationship.
My impression is that each of them tried to use the other as an object onto which projecting an imagined life and ideals, rather than a life actually lived.
So Krit broke up with Wayu because his father threatened to kill him. What has changed? Why did he go back to Wayu, since his father still hates him? Isn't he afraid for Wayu's safety anymore?
does anyone know how old they’re supposed to be in ep1? they seem to be in high school, how are they allowed…
The laws are not the same in every country and especially in different times. In my country up until the nineties high school students were perfectly able to go to bars and have alcoholics. I still remember when I was a child and people were allowed to smoke in restaurants. So, I think it's not fair to apply contemporary local laws to a foreign country from a century ago.
