Coming of age boys in school either discovering their sexuality or struggling with it and societies prejudices, family and romantic rejection, and social isolation. Through it, all the prejudices, rejection, and isolations that make your same gender love seem sickening, perverse, or dirty is what is the most beautiful and empowering between you and that other person.

This is very, very similar in the way that Borg Mom was created as a way to comfort the son and in some ways the husband, who created her. Again electronics here. Not television . This is more family oriented and no real romance---although you get feels people. There are feels. Or I had them.

Despite the fact this drama has yet to end this drama is going in the same vein. Young man has a girl who's "out of this world" really. This one is not robotic, but she is electronic. It's like the guy starts having feelings for a woman he can't really have because she's not real.

Incestuous relationships between sisters and brothers. Mainly brothers being highly obsessed with the sister while the sister is in love with someone else. Sister then later gives in to their brothers affection. (exception here-blood relation)

Obviously it's the original version of this story, so it's to be expected as a recommendation. I personally think that Art is a bit more likeable thank McIntosh to be honest. I felt McIntosh's character came across a bit more racist to me.

The stories are very similar.

Similarities:
1. Class issue - Difference though is that despite Massaya being born of both rich parents, one being mistaken for poor. Dok Soke has actually a poor parent.

2. She is taken in by her grandparent - She is taken from one grandparent to another. The difference here is that it's Dok Soke's grandfather who takes her from her Grandmother's home. While Massaya is taken from her Grandfather's house to her Grandmother's house.

3. Mistreated by her relatives - Dok Soke has two evil aunts and an evil cousin. Massaya has a Good Witch Aunt and a Bad Witch Aunt.

4. They are both high school girls - both girls are 17/18 about to graduate high school.

5. Both girls fall in love with a much older guy - Dok Soke falls with a man who's about 10-12 years older than her and Massaya falls in love with one about 7 years older than her.

6. The family romantic dynamics - Dok Soke falls in love with a man who actually is very close to her family. He's always at her house and has protected her since she was a child. So he's been there since she was growing up. He's seen her as a kid and little sister. This blossomed into romantic feelings. Massaya met her guy as a teenager and he saw her as a kid, because of her childish behaviour and sees her as a kid sister. He protected her from everyone just like Dok Soke's guy and his feelings also blossomed into romantic feelings.

Both couples had to fight against severe family obstacles to be together. Mainly because of family obligations, duty, and filial respect. They both beat the odds. However, DOK SOKE DID A LEFT TURN THAT BLEW THE AUDIENCE'S MIND! Watchers beware!

When going over this write up it's clear to me that Dok Soke is a poor man's version of Massaya and the writers were drunk when they wrote the ending! It's freakishly similar to Massaya that it's disturbing. One could say this is a trope. There are a lot of stories like this in Thailand, I would agree---but those stories are normally switched at birth ones. This is a total Massaya story---the ending is the only flip. I felt I was turned upside and inside out for no reason.

Original version to the 2000 and 2017 story. It started the entire trend of this story. I have not been able to review this story as I can't find it.

It's the 2000 version. Andrew Gregson is soooo good as Luk. It is a great rendition and I think it's a great introduction to another, probably, unknown side cultural side some people don't even know about Thailand.

One of the best bittersweet movies I've seen. The premise is fairly the same of an artist (of a different genre) with a neurological condition meeting a young female student. In both stories the characters learn more about themselves and the true meaning of love and life.
