I think Day made the wrong choice. First of all, you promised to not let go of the other one’s hand. It’s not like Mhok cheated on you. He’s literally afraid of losing you, and you basically kicked him to the curb and asked him to leave (knowing that he would, if he respected you at all). Maybe Day is so afraid of being pitied that this seemed like the ultimate betrayal to him. Maybe Day is wondering how he can trust in Mhok’s love for him. I understand Day is young, but he went a little extreme however, on his solution. He severed ties with Mhok. Instead of trying to understand him instead of talking it over with him. Instead of compromising, and trying to find a solution together. I’m sure it is an age thing because when you’re older, you realize that a love like that does not come along that often. Like they said in the show, they love each other so damn much. It’s a shame that Day cannot see the way that Mhok looks at him. Anyhow, back to my original point that love like that does not happen very often. When you have that, you don’t toss it away so easily. things happen in life. Like Mhok said, you don’t know what the future holds. You promised to hold each other’s hands, however. That’s a promise you’re supposed to keep. And the mother saying “well I hope they find each other again” strikes me too much of “if they really love each other, they’ll find each other again and it’s meant to be”. It doesn’t always work that way. I like how she didn’t say anything either when Day asked if he made the right decision. Because honestly, how could somebody else answer that for you? I think that this was nothing more than plot device in order to break them up at 11th hour so that they can get back together in episode 12. Which I suspected was going to happen. I feel like this was a complete betrayal of them making promises to each other. Of holding the other’s hand and saying “I will not let go. I will not let you let go”, and I hate that as an audience member, as a viewer I didn’t like that at all. I might as well not put any stock in it in either. apparently they were just words to say in the moment and didn’t carry any weight in the least.. I’m upset if you can tell lol

2024-01-20 03:13:55 +0000 UTCI don't think it's thoughtless, but it does seem that not enough time was devoted to the underlying factors that led to this ending. Yes, it's interesting to consider how emotionally dependant Mohk is on Day, but after making it a subtle subtext for 10 episodes, suddenly thrusting it into the foreground like this when the focus has been on Day so much, makes it less compelling and more confusing. The viewer is forced to sit down and rationalise it all for themselves the reason for this jarring shift. Furthermore, for all that development was reasonable, the actions of the characters weren't. Day could have communicated to Mohk that if being in a relationship means Mohk must sacrifice his future, then it's not a relationship worth keeping, asking Mohk to look at it from Day's perspective. Also, Day very unnaturally ignored Mohk's trauma. One can explain it as being a result of being gripped by the pain and fear of holding Mohk back, but it still seems jarring to me, as a viewer, that Mohk's feelings on his sister's suicide after having ignored her call are being shrugged off this way. It's not like breaking up will remove the pain of that trauma. True, healing that trauma is not Day's job, but to respond to that trauma by breaking up with Mohk to force him to go to a foreign country, where he likely doesn't speak the local language very well, far from his close friends, makes little sense. For me, to accept the ending requires me to a) delve deep into the psychology of Mohk which has been rather abruptly thrust into the spotlight after being consistently sidelined since after episode 2 b) accept that irrational decisions are explained by characters acting under the stress of overwhelming emotions c) assume that the desire for an emotional twist had nothing to do with the jarring narrative decisions that precipitated the end. I want very much to like the show, and still do, but as much as there is a line of reasoning that can be followed for what we see in this ep 11 ending, it does not preclude my confusion and disatisfaction with it.

2024-01-19 22:24:32 +0000 UTCI think he'll gradually regain his sight. On the escalator he was very independent and maybe he just didn't recognise Mok, after all he never saw him fully due to his blindness. But then again, he has a lot of pictures of them together on his phone, so how could he not recognise him? Or maybe his eyesight didn't come back(( Anyway we're hoping for a happy ending.

2024-01-19 22:06:40 +0000 UTCI like how we stayed close to the core of BL as a ganre, we got all the classic tropes like the social inequalities between the boys, the beach episode and the wonderfully executed curse of episode 11.

2024-01-19 21:42:59 +0000 UTCDamn you P'Aof.... I cursed him so many times since ending the episode... On a more serious note, as much as it truly hurts to see them break up, I think they both need to grow on their own for a little while (plase not a long time jump P'Aof 🙏) What the mom said at the end and seeing Mhok break down outside the house.... so heartbreaking. Someone pointed on twitter that Porjai might have moved with her mother already which means Mhok will be all alone in that house after the break up 😭😭😭😭 The acting this episode once again blew me away. Apparently the scene at the hospital was from Q1 but you'd never believe that watching that scene and how Sea acted so devastated after Day realized he can't see... The foreshadowing.... Damn you P'Aof... I think we all need good comfort now. Karan and Achi better not break our heart in Cherry Magic...

2024-01-19 21:25:20 +0000 UTCMhok and days fear and insecurity have nothing to do with maturity in my opinion. This episode just reminds us that those characters are flawed individuals with fears like we all have. And tbh, i feel like them being apart will help both day and mhok. Day has finally accepted his blindness now he has to actually get to know himself as a blind person, he needs to adapt and learn to live on his own. Mhok has to work through his own issues, his sisters death, the trauma that it caused, the fact that he blames himself for it. If they would have stayed together, it wouldnt have been a very healthy relationship. Sometimes you have to be alone to be better.

2024-01-19 21:22:43 +0000 UTCI disagree with what someone has said that there’s anything lazy about what Aof is doing with this series. It makes sense that characters act based on their past experiences, so that Day tend to see pity, whether it exists or not, because it has happened a great deal. We were reminded of that when he says that he got the money necklace for dancing because of pity, even though we know he really was the most enthusiastic dancer. And it makes sense that Mhok feels guilty for not being there for his sister and therefore wants to be sure he’s always there for Day. Yes, it would’ve been better if he had been upfront about his reason for turning down the job, but I get why he didn’t want Day to feel like he was standing in his way. But time helps put things into perspective, and I think that’s what is going to happen for Mhok and Day, and I think that’s thoughtful storytelling rather than lazy storytelling.

2024-01-19 21:12:20 +0000 UTCPlsss the fact that we r out here making all the dramatic twists and turns of the plot and then p'Aof gives us kinda the less dramatic one but yet more realistic. I see both sides in this when it came to the breakup no matter how much it did hurt😭 Honestly Mhok's tears r my weakness😭

2024-01-19 20:06:36 +0000 UTCI don't think it's necessarily or solely out of "pity" that Mhok doesn't want to leave. There's truly a lot of guilt there over his sister's death!! I shed 2 thug tears 🥲🥲

2024-01-19 20:01:43 +0000 UTCMaybe it’s just bc I love Mhok too much, but when he was explaining why he doesn’t want to leave Day because of what happened to his sister.. I feel like that is totally valid reasonings . Not bc he has pity for Day, but bc he is terrified to lose someone he loves again.. :(

2024-01-19 19:47:05 +0000 UTCSigh… it would have been so much more satisfying to see them work through their problems together without the lazy narrative use of forced separation and a time jump. So much of this will probably now happen off screen before they reunite. Part of the reason why MPS was so great was cos those teenagers were mature enough to communicate, understand each other, and be there for each other. Dramatically splitting up out of nowhere at the first issue after the beautiful love confessions was just ridiculous. This narrative has been so poor to Mhok. He finally opens up about his fears over repeating the mistakes he made with Rung… and gets dumped! I just wish these last two eps could have focused on Day supporting Mhok while he worked through his trauma. That would have been so refreshing to see.

2024-01-19 19:23:02 +0000 UTCI don’t know what it was about this episode, but the cinematography looked extra beautiful, and the coloring was just so stunning. Perfect episode as always, I cried so much ugh. P'Aof really knows how to get you in your feels. I just can’t believe one of the best shows I’ve ever seen is almost over now :,)
