Objectively speaking, Koh is Jira's muse for his art, and Jira is Koh's muse for his technology. Each uses the other for their own purposes, and both are almost childishly honest about it. Because of the deep feelings that surely exist on both sides, this business venture is doomed to fail. No show without AJ or JJ. They've become something of a brandmark of GmmTV, and that could prove more valuable in the long run than a ship.

2026-01-28 19:45:00 +0000 UTCWow I can't believe it's only one episode left. I'll save any major thoughts for next time but yes so agree with you, this really is one of the best shows in a long time!

2026-01-28 19:18:09 +0000 UTCand yes i wanted to mention Not Me (my fav ever too) too, because i feel like at this point OffGun is best know for their role in these kind of dramas. Like Not Me was about inequality and about personal war against it. This show feels like personal war against AI stealing jobs..BOTH OF THEM ARE SO REAL

2026-01-28 19:15:40 +0000 UTCmy comment is going to be so long i can already feel it lol (but this episode gave me so much emotions, and i was already boiling them lol). Ok so by now we know that this show has lots of symbols and i enjoy every single one of them.. The painting choice in the beginning was so heavy for me. The contrast between those paintings like emotional (Pheem's) and that erotic attraction (Koh's) was so clear. I'm happy that Ing told him to choose himself because he never really does.. The rejection scene actually broke me more than i expected because wtf i was waiting for Jira to reject Pheem for so long but hmm...I wasn't even attached to Pheem till this episode (don't understand me wrong i love Dew, my eyes are blessed), but Dew's performance in this one, omg it felt so real. Like i think it's way harder to be rejected not because you did something wrong, but because you're simply no the kind of person the other person is drawn to. IM SO MAD THAT THIS LEADING ON WAS GOING SO LONG SO PHEEM FELL HARDER FOR JIRA. I didn't really like that Jira gave Pheem that painting because it didn't feel like closure - it's something that's going to stay with him and hurt for even longer because i don't think he will throw it out. It's finale next week so let me just appreciate the writing of this show. The art references, the flower symbolism, the way art becomes alive, and the way viewers are introduced to Georgia O'keeffe in a very subtle way - chef's kiss. And connecting all of this with AI replacing artist makes the story even heavier. The way Gun shows the frustration of the artist, and how Mawin represents a person who even helped to create the AI but still getting replaced by it...that's such a real parallel...The cast is amazing.. That intimate scene between Mawin and Pheem???? I was watching it with tear in my eyes just like Ing. It was so emotional and i could feel the pain of the character. The scene they were acting out also fits the series so much. I really liked the dialogue because it basically said: if you don't let me go, you'll destroy both of us. It's not jus a random scene they acted out it was literally Pheem's situation. And honestly, I'm glad the kisses were subtle. As much as we want to see passionate moment between Dew and Gun, that would have broken the realness of the scene. Because as I saw it wasn't attraction or desire it was pure grief of Pheem. Maybe the only thing that sucked in this scene is that we only saw it from Pheem's POV. I wish Mawin was present in that moment too, because I don't think he was Jira's stand-in, i feel like he was that emotional suppoert Pheem needed in the moment. PLEASE GMMTV GIVE AJ A PARTNER FOR ONCE, HOW LONG IS HE GOING TO PLAY SOMEONE'S BESTIE. At this point I don't even know if i would be happy with happy ending between Koh and Jira it just doesn't feel right. They cleary attract each other only in a sexual way and they don't have anything else that connects them. It literally should be the ending of Jira learning to love himself and learn how to love. Not everyone who loves deeply gets chosen as we see in Pheem's way, and not every intense attraction is meant to last forever...BUT YOU ARE SO RIGHT JIRA IS SO OBSESSED WITH KOH HE WILL JUST CRAWL BACK LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED I CANNOT...JUST LET MY BOY PHEEM TO HEAL AND BE WITH MAWIN:PPPP
