I agree, I do think she’ll be a bit more accepting of Wang’s choices going forward. And the reason why Wang went back with her is because he felt like she chose him more than In did, he can’t keep fighting for In if In won’t move an inch. But if In had said he loved him back, I do really think he would have defied his mom and stayed with In.

Most people seem mad at him but my heart truly broke for In. I have a lot of hope for Wang, but In...

I do think it's based on the creator's "life experience" (or as you said, at least the viewpoints/message). At least I know he identifies with In and has a lot of faith in the younger generation (which Wang is meant to represent).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Date_Line it's been talked about before in the show (ep 4 I think).

But In did love him back? Or else he would have just said he didn't, and he wouldn't have hugged him either.

Yeah that's right, and every conversation has a double meaning and all the objects mean something (like the books, art, etc.), so everything has to be analyzed.

I don't think the number of episodes has anything to do with budget actually because I just read that the series was originally meant for only 6 episodes, here's the tweet that explains it: https://twitter.com/For_EarthMix/status/1575086849840025600

He didn't walk away because Wang said he loved him, he walked away because Wang said that Siam loved In (in front of Mol) which is something Mol and In haven't ever aknowledged/talked about. Maybe In even thought she didn't already know, so he felt shocked, guilty, etc.

I think In likes Wang back because if he didn't why didn't he let him walk away at the end of ep 6? And why didn't he agree to let go of Wang when Mol pleaded with him?

You’re welcome! But if you by heart wrenching mean that you think we’ll get a sad ending, then I don’t agree. This interview is actually the whole reason why I think we’ll get a happy(-ish) ending.

The one of them shirtless in bed? That would be nice. While this is not the show to watch if someone just wants to see two men kiss, it would be pretty funny/weird that they made that one of their promo poster if we won’t even see them kiss/do anything romantic.

I think everyone needs to read this interview with Punnasak (the creator of the series) to really understand what he's trying to say with this series: https://lifeincartoonmotion.com/2022/09/10/180-degrees-with-punnasak-sukee/

I don't agree. Punnasak (the creator) has said this show is about politics and that Wang, In and Mol represent 3 different generations. Wang is the young generation that want to change things for the better, Mol is the old and conservative generation and In represents the middle, the generation that can actually sway elections from one side to the other but is sadly often prone to inaction. This to me shows that the ending depends on In. He's either gonna do nothing, just like he did with Siam, and history is just gonna repeat itself and this show is somehow supposed to be a "lesson" to the older generation like "look what happens when you do nothing" OR he's finally gonna speak up, he's gonna take Wang's side and it's gonna be a (at least mostly) happy ending (and this is what I'm leaning towards).

For anyone who's still confused about what In and Wang did at the end of ep 6 (did they just sleep shirtless next to each other or did they have sex?), the producer retweeted a whole thread about how they didn't have sex, so I think that confirms it (here's a link to his twitter: https://twitter.com/patomkrit65)

She’s complex, very human, and she went through a lot, but I won’t feel bad for someone who is homophobic and someone that sent their child (that just lost his dad!) to boarding school. I feel bad for her in the past, but not the person she is now.

I don’t think so, I think their “nakedness” was meant to signify them getting closer and/or In baring his soul to Wang (like the “Naked Philosophy” book on In’s chest at the beginning of the episode). But if I’m wrong then I just hope we get flashbacks to what happened that night to lead to them getting together.

He says in ep 5 that they broke up because he wanted to live alone and that it happened after Siam and Mol got married. So I’m assuming they broke up when In moved away after Siam’s confession.

I agree, I was also very frustrated, but at the same time I feel like it would have been kinda disastrous if they really did kiss there, so in a way I’m almost grateful for her call. And I don’t think anything happened between them that night.

there is actually a shirtless bed scene from the trailer that we haven't seen yet, it's the one around 3:13-3:15 where they're both laying and staring straight up at the ceiling. so either that's a flashback to what happened in ep 6 or it hasn't happened yet.

definitely, it kinda felt like watching a psychological thriller almost
