Comments
I know a lot of people is hating on mom but I believe I can understand why she would reacted to Mhok and their relationship like this. It's not about his son being gay - she always knew Day liked August and didn't say anything about it. It's not that Mhok mistreated or harmed day - she acknowledged that Mhok is the one bringing him out of the room and taught him how to take care of herself. As mentioned in the last episode, mom took Day and Night to Bangkok being a poor single mom. I think some of her grieve with Day and Mhok running away is that she knew they are going back to Songkhla and very possibly they are going to meet with dad. With how dad treated the rest of the family of course she would be nervous and upset about Day meeting his dad. Another thing that I think why mom would object Day and Mhok's relationship is that she knew how it felt to be poor and she believes that if Mhok doesn't have a job it's impossible for him to take care of Day being jobless. And we all knew it's not feasible for mom to keep hiring a "boyfriend" - it is not a healthy relationship. Taking care of someone being a caretaker and a boyfriend is totally different - that's kinda how it meant. I was with you on Night's scenes - as an elder brother myself I totally get how it felt. Thank for the great reaction! =D

2024-01-13 08:56:11 +0000 UTCI'm not Thai myself but I am from the same region (South East Asia), so I'm a bit familiar on how familial relationships operate. I think how the Mum reacted to the whole thing was kind of expected, as Asian parents are very much involved whatever stage you are in your life. Her reaction can be construed as irrational, but I know it comes from a place of love. I myself don't share the same mindset having been raised by a much more progressive parents, but I'd like to think of my personal family dynamics as an exception rather than the norm. And what a wonderful reaction Freddie! I love how you emphatise with what the characters would feel and try to understand the dynamics of Day's family, even if you don't agree with the mum's actions!

2024-01-13 06:29:59 +0000 UTCI’m from the U.S. so I don’t know what the government is like in Thailand for disability. But I am lucky and got approved for disability because of my physical disabilities (I can see and hear). I am married but we live with my mom. It is super difficult to live off of disability with only one other paycheck. So I can see where the mom is coming from in that regards (but I do think Day is more independent than I am). But my husband is my main caretaker. He works from home so he can help me with our dogs, getting dressed, help cook, and do other things around the house if I am napping or having a particular hard day. Although there are some spouses that cannot be a caretaker, or be as understanding has Mhok is, it can work. The people around you will help in anyway if they truly love you. And most importantly not think of you as a burden but as an opportunity to learn to do things differently that you haven’t done before (like painting but by feelings and not color). Also great reaction like always !

2024-01-13 04:40:15 +0000 UTCOh I was screaming at my phone the entire episode- I was so enraged by the mom. We better get a proper apology from her, or I know i’m never gonna forgive her actions. The way Night broke down, he must have been dealing with so much neglect during this time it actually breaks my heart. Night and Porjai though!!! Night telling the nurse “that’s my kid” AHHHHHHH!!! Other bright green flag of a man- fully aware and prepared for what dating Porjai means. And Night would be such a good dad! I’m really hoping that the eye donation doesn’t work, I think it would be a much better ending. Part of it is I honestly want the mom to be forced to really confront and accept Day’s blindness, if it works she gets a complete out of having to be held accountable. I have confidence in Aof though, especially with how Heart’s story went in Moonlight Chicken.

2024-01-13 04:20:53 +0000 UTCOnce again Last Twilight has me on this emotional rollercoaster. Honestly you would think that crying in every episode for 9 weeks should have been enough to convince me that there wouldn't be a single week where my eyes stayed dry, but here we are and they've got me again. I have 7 siblings of which I am ranked number 5. I'm super protective of my younger siblings, so the forgiveness scene between Night and Day really struck a cord and definitely had the tears flowing. I can't even fathom anything even remotely similar to Night's predicament happening to me. Because I already struggle pretty heavily with depression and anxiety, I don't even want to think about the places my mind would go if all that pressure and blame was placed on my shoulders. Let's just say that Night is a lot stronger than I could ever be. But on the lighter, happier side of things, Day and Mhok were once again flaunting their beautiful, healthy, loving relationship in my face. Like I get it you're in LOVE LOVE. Please have some respect for the single community! And the best thing about not just their relationship, but their story in general is that it's so real. Like there is no part of their story arc that feels artificially curated. It's so authentic and true to life that I'm sure so many people can relate to their journey together. That's the one thing that sets them apart from most other BL's I've seen. And don't get me wrong, I absolutely love BL in general and have watched a lot of them, but there are very, very few that make me believe they are a real couple crafted by hard work, dedication, understanding, and trust. It's absolutely beautiful to watch. I won't really talk much about the mom because I pretty much share the same exact feelings as you. I was just as frustrated, annoyed, and angry as you were. Alas I'm not a parent nor do I ever plan on being one, but even still there are just certain things that can't be controlled no matter how hard you try. And the more you push, the worse it will be in the end, even if you think you're doing the right thing. I'm dreading next weeks episode, especially because of the JimmySea live where they basically said that the remainder of this series would be emotionally draining, as if they haven't already been punching me in the gut from day 1. Anyways loved your reaction once again. I'm super grateful to have found your channel and patreon because you really do bring something new to each episode that has me taking a step back to reevaluate how I approach certain scenes and topics. Thanks for being you and I'm excited to come back here to cry together again next Friday! :)

2024-01-13 03:50:42 +0000 UTCHello, again, Freddie! I always look forward to your reactions. And once again, this series has given us just what we needed. After the epic emotional ending of episode 9, we got all the cuteness and loving we needed in episode 10 (aside from the whole mother business). Honestly, I've seen episode 9 at least a dozen times now with different reactors, and EVERY time that last scene leaves me a wet mess (even in the "Previously" part of episode 10)! Seeing Mhok and Day cultivate their relationship outside of the "Caregiver/receiver" mode was a true joy to behold. You are so right about how natural and organic Dr. Jimmy's and Sea's chemistry is together. the way Mhok lovingly looks at and frets over Day constantly, and the way Day's entire demeanor lights up and shines so brightly whenever Mhok is around. I don't think any other actors could pull this off like Dr. Jimmy and Sea! But let's take a moment to get Mom discussed. Actually, "disgusted" would probably be a better word for my thoughts about her ... at least in the first 2/3 of the episode. When she took Day's phone and them changed the wifi password, my first thought was "What is Day, 12 years old?" No! He's a grown-assed man of at least 20 or so (university age), and she was treating him like a middle school student. And then when she dumped that load of guilt on Night as well (thankfully Day overheard it!), I was truly done with her. But I was also happy to see Day stand up for himself and use her own words against her. I think that may have been the seed that gets her to begin to reconsider her actions/opinions. (Fingers crossed!) We began to see hints of this at the Christmas dinner, when she admitted to not being a "lovely mom" to Day, and reinforced Day's attempts to reach out to Night. Speaking of Night ... Mark deserves an award for his nuanced portrayal of the Night character. When Day said "i forgive you ... for everything", you could literally see the weight being lifted from Night's shoulders. Not only did we see subtle changes in his facial expression and the welling up of tears in his eyes, but we also see subtle changes in his posture showing his relief. And all of this was brought to fore again at the Christmas dinner scene. How Night went from feeling like a 3rd wheel to the emotions of finally feeling accepted in his own family. And most of that was initiated by Day's insistence that he stay, and remembering beef stew was Night's favorite, too. Then we see the hint that he will be taking on Porjai's child as his own, confirming the ship we've all been building over the past several episodes. Methinks he will end up in the same category as Mhok. Night (Mark) was really the MVP of this episode. As for the whole transplant scenario for episode 11, I have a tendency to agree with you that something is going to go wrong. Corneal transplants are not a given success. As with any such operation, there can be complications and even rejection. And I agree that all the time we've spent with Day leaning to accept his blindness, having the series end with him blind would not be unrealistic. I guess we'll just have to wait and see about that. I was also encouraged to see Mhok and Mom starting to build some bridges in the preview as well. Finally, you mentioned something about the romantic vs caretaker relationship, and I just wanted to chime in with my personal experience. I cared for my late husband for about 18 years of our 20+ years together. I think over time, the two roles can begin to merge ... to the point where you don't know where one stops and the other starts. Nor does it matter. I guess I really hadn't considered how much I loved him until after he was gone. Probably because a lot of my time was spent taking care of his personal needs. But when I no longer needed to do that, I realized how much I missed the romantic side of our relationship. Not necessarily the sexual part (his condition made that difficult and painful for him), but the parts where we could have entire conversations with only a few words. The parts where I instinctively knew what he needed and he knew what I was thinking. Those are the parts the are so subtly and aptly portrayed by Dr. Jimmy and Sea as Mhok and Day. I find myself seeing myself in Mhok a lot. Thanks for letting me ramble on here. I really love your reactions and your responses to my comments as well! See you next video!

2024-01-13 02:51:18 +0000 UTCHow has Mark stealthily made his way into my top five GMMTV actors this year? Ahhh he's just so good! I don't know how I feel about Day getting his sight back either. On the one hand, like you said, I think that's a really important story. On the other, I want the moment when Day can see Mhok's face clearly for the first time. I don't know if the surgery will work, but I think it would be a pretty dark ending if he got his hopes up and had surgery, only for that to happen. As for the mother, confining her blind son in his room and then taking away any forms of communication or distraction is bordering on abusive tbh. He was just sitting in a silent, black hole, completely alone. The mom really frustrated me in this episode, no matter how hot the actress is.
