I forced myself to finish this, and I watched at 1.75X speed. I can't stand the way they make Thai actors draw out some of their lines. It would be like me saying “welllllllllllllll……….what if…………iiiiiiii…………..come……over?” Now imagine me speaking like that 50% of the time. Anyhoo, since everyone else has spectacularly summed up the (few) hits and (many) misses, I’m going to take a different approach and tell you the story I wish I’d seen. Come with me, dear readers, as we reimagine the main couple’s story.

We’ll keep the same backstories for everyone. Him was dating Blue who had a phobic fam and a bestie who was secretly in love with Blue (I can’t say “him” because that would be confusing as there’s a character named Him). Blue is lonely and sad about his family and relationship, but Him has familial/work obligations. He has to handle his literal business and tend to his mother, so he’s not around much. Blue communicates his needs to Him, but Him is so stressed that he doesn’t do a great job explaining his lack of time/attention for Blue. Blue’s fam wants them to breakup and for Blue to stop dating guys. Blue decides to end his pain by taking his life…or coming close? We don’t know.

Fast forward. Him approaches Nail because he looks like his ex and begins a relationship with Nail. Te meets Nail in the same way as originally scripted (at Him’s house) but doesn’t flip out. The next day Te seeks out Nail on his own and asks him for coffee, not a date. Nail is suspicious, plus this is his boyfriend’s friend who’s asking Nail out? da fuq? Of course Nail refuses but then Te explains that Nail looks like his dead best friend and secret crush, and Te would like to just talk to Nail over a coffee or something so he can feel, just for a little while, like his friend is still with him. Te shows Nail a pic of the two besties and this both softens and intrigues Nail. After all Te is a friend of Nail’s boyfriend and you gotta get in good with the friend group, plus, everyone has a lookalike and Nail is curious about his. Te and Nail will become friends and Te realizes how different Nail and Blue are, which makes Te really appreciate Nail for who he is.

Now, while all this was happening, Him and Nail have their thing going on and Him is also realizing that Nail is different from Blue and appreciating the difference. Nail sees a pic of Him with Blue and finds out that he looks exactly like Him’s ex, and Nail is livid thinking that Him saw Nail as a replacement for Blue. First, Nail will give Him a chance to explain and Him will lie and say he didn’t approach Nail due to the resemblance. Nail isn’t buying that so he storms out. Next Nail will talk to his own awesome friends because sometimes we need someone to tell us when we’re wrong or help us see things in a another light, but they agree with Nail that this is fishy. Finally, Nail will reach out to Te. Nail would also be upset that Te didn’t tell him, and Te comes clean and bares his little soul. Te explains that his beloved friend was so unhappy with Him, unlike Nail who seemed to be falling in love with Him. Te will say he wanted to believe that Him had learned his lesson and would make Nail happy and Te didn’t want to ruin that. Te will say that he couldn’t help Blue but he thought that his silence was helping Nail, so he kept the secret. Te knows they are two different ppl, but somehow doing what he believed would help Nail made Te feel like he had another chance to help the friend he failed. Te is crying now, he’s never told all this to anyone and knows it makes no sense because Blue is gone and can’t be helped. Nail will accept this, and he holds Te (not in a romantic way).

That private, intimate moment is witnessed by Type who snaps a pic and sends it to his cousin, Him. Nail is now only speaking to Te, not to Him. Here is where the additional tension between Him and Te will make more sense. They already have what happened with Blue (Te wishing Him had taken better care of his friend, and being mad that Blue was dating anyone else anyway), but now the tables will have turned because Nail is no longer upset with Te but is still mad at Him. Him doesn’t understand since they both approached Nail for the same reason, but Nail will explain that Te was upfront about it (remember when Te told Nail that he looked exactly like his best friend and secret crush?). Him will be upset with himself as he realizes that all he had to do was be honest and Nail would still have given him a chance, because that’s the kind of person Nail is. Alas, the three points of the love triangle wind up alone but OK. Te realizes that he can’t try to date Nail because he knows deep down that he would just want to be the chosen one and prove (maybe to himself as much as to Him) that he would’ve been better for Blue than Him had been. Te decides on his own that he and Nail will be friends. Him keeps his therapy appointments and later (like, way later) reunites with Nail but we won’t know if they’ll try again or not.

Maybe the second season would show their efforts to rekindle, and Te finding his own happiness. And then we’ll learn that Nail really is Blue. Bwahahahahaha!
