So I have already commented on this episode but as any other LoveSickos will tell you – you don’t just watch the episode once and comment and be done. You watch it two or five times [which of course I did to meet my quota. Lol] But I can’t help but comment again. I just realized that the whole relationships thing in the drama series may sort of have theme going on for them that are not only educational but can raise a bit of an awareness [all this is my speculation and assumptions of course]. We all know about PhunNoh – first love, identity crisis, being who you are, and loving who you want “without any boundaries.”
Now these part are all speculations of course [people may interpret it differently] – I am completely loving the Golf/Mo/Moan theme relationship which in my opinion is much better than the Jeed/Neung/Khom/Grace one.
My interpretation about GoMoAn is on the level of how a low abusive [really don’t want to say that but had no other comparison to make] works, with the lovesick best friend on the side. One person loves too much, while the other almost doesn’t care and is negligent [a form of abuse] in/of the relationship. Even when they argue it turns physical [on both sides], but like all relationships come back together [like druggies needing their joint]. Speaking of that, I couldn’t help but think that Moan really need to go buy his “high” with the way he was twitching, anxious and irritated at his mother for taking the car and taking it out on Mo – withdrawal symptoms Moan, withdrawal symptoms. Golf is also in that same type of relationship – always caring and loving towards Mo, but in the end always the one that gets hurt the most [is he an M? hmm…could explain it]. But anyways, I hope that the writers not only make a good story out of it but also send an important, learning message across to viewers who may or may not be in such a relationship – as they are always not healthy.
Jeed/Neung/Khom/Grace story line in my opinion is the materialistic girl that wants to breakaway from the poverty that she is in and land a rich man that will provide for her. Which is not all that bad in hindsight, but she is not factoring in feelings such as love, compassion, warmth and etc. She just wants to use them for their money and be the envy of everyone else. Then we have Neung, who I think matches perfectly with Jeed, because he is also using Jeed to make Khom jealous to have an “up” over Khom because he is good at everything else. And then we have poor Khom, who is unknowingly falling into Jeed’s plan/trap – by trying to raise up money and dealing with his poverty issue. It is admirable, really, except for the intention of why he is doing it – for Jeed’s sake[?]. If he was doing it to prove himself something or develop himself then it is very admirable – to rise above oneself. But if he is doing it to prove to Jeed and for her sake, then [to me] that is not love but a twist form of revenge[?] and self-satisifaction/bragging rights. And then we finally have Grace, who in the midst of all these came to like sick, twisted Neung not knowing his plan and personality and blaming/thinking Jeed seduce him [which is true in a sense] – this has caused her to be become the evil *witch* in this whole twisted messed up relationship. While I am not a fan of this relationship like I am of GoMoAn and PhunNoh, I am still anxious to see how the writers develop the story line and the characters [reluctant as I may be].
And as for the other relationships we don’t have enough information/scenes/interactions with them to make any speculations or assumptions. But I am anxiously anticipating them and seeing how they will go about it.
*P.S – just want to do something to lessen down the Jeed/Neung/Khom/Grace relationship bashing. Lol. Not a fan of the relationship but still think it may be an important aspect of a theme for it to be included and expanded on in season 2. Frankly, we all know they could have ended it in season 1 when Jeed and Khom broke up. So why expand on it?*
Wow that’s long.
