"humans can live without faith. humans can live without hope. but, humans cannot live without love."
a masterpiece through and through. i have no bad words to say (except they should've made barthtanrak look a little older in the end hahahahahah, like come on, they were like almost 50 years old but didn't even look a day over 20)
usually when you watch a show, you just know how it's gonna end, but that wasn't the case with ticket to heaven. it kept you on your toes the WHOLE WAY THROUGH.
the starting of ep 1 was already chefs kiss. the Bible verses in the start of every episode? so well thought out.
and i just can't stop praising gemini and fourths acting. there was a knot in my stomach and it felt like my throat was closing up in every emotional scene. even if it was just a normal scene, like them playing in the waterfall or listening to music together, there was this sense of impending doom washing over me.
tanraks guilt????? you could FEEL it through the screen. the end of ep 2 is one of the BEST scenes fourth has done. the guilt for thinking that he sinned just because he was catching feelings for barth, oh my god. fourth the actor you are. <3
and barth? i relate to him so much. his feelings towards god were so valid and Gemini portrayed that so well. you could feel his pain. he felt that he had lost almost everything in life just because of the god he preached. because it was considered a sin that he liked guys.
the scene with barth and his parents in ingrained in my brain. and the fact that barth got the scar on his eyebrow because of a Bible felt like it was crushing my heart.
while barths mother wasn't perfect, she did the best for her child.
a special mention to barth and his mother's conversation at the prison. i cried my eyes out in that scene. and also the way barth prayed to God after talking to her was a very important scene, signifying his feelings towards his god.
also, kongdech (played by ashi), i kind of understood why he said things like that to tanrak, he was also just a kid who felt that he was slowly losing his best friend. im glad he stayed on the path he actually wanted to follow and got ordained, his first sermon was beautiful.
father arnon (played by aun) and master phak (played by bright) were also really important characters in barth and tanraks lives. they never tried to force them to do what they weren't ready to do and supported them through everything even if it was considered 'against' their faith.
im so happy barth and tanrak got their happy ending, even though their path was full of difficulties, they got through it because they were beside each other.
overall, a masterpiece, probably one of the best shows gmmtv has put out ever. even though it was short, it changed my perspective on various things and I'm glad that i got to experience this!
"and these three things always remain. those are; faith, hope and love. and love is the greatest of all."
