So late in watching this but I want to get my two cents out as well. As someone who has been in vee’s shoes, being in a longterm relationship that’s in its end, (not, the cheating part) I get him. It’s the familiarity at this point tbh. Like you’re so used to each other, you don’t want to to just end it even if the love is no longer there. God, I REALLY WENT THROUGH IT. It was really shitty too. HahahahH like you knew the relationship has ended but you’re still there trying to scrape the debris. 😖 i did wake up and cut ties but man, did I held on to nothing. True, Vee is dense, but i also know that it’s hard to let go of things or people that you thought would actually last for a lifetime.

2022-09-25 13:52:44 +0000 UTCThe only explanation I can think of for Vee's actions towards Ploy and Mark is that he doesn't seem to view him having sex with Mark as cheating on Ploy... But then again, I cannot think of someone thinking like this in real life even though he's the most dense and dumb person in the world hahaha!!! This show is not doing a good job so far of showing to the audience Vee's motivations and intentions when it comes to his relationship with Ploy and Mark (on why he's doing whatever he's doing right now to both of them).

2022-07-11 11:10:06 +0000 UTCI agree. I think Vee views his night with Mark as a drunken mistake. But the emotional cheating that has followed is really just as bad (if not worse), even if he doesn't realise it.

2022-07-11 08:10:42 +0000 UTCYes, I've been looking forward to your Love Mechanics reaction all week! These boys are so messy I'm obsessed!! I think Ploy & Vee's relationship is very much about responsibility. It's comfortable. For their age, three years is a long time to be together—probably their first long term relationship—and even though the relationship has obviously run its course neither one wants to actually break up. It's frustrating as a viewer, but I also think it's realistic to want to hold onto a relationship that used to be so meaningful to you. I'm happy they didn't add too much of Vee questioning his sexuality, or being upset about his crush on Mark. But Vee does state in the En of Love mini series that Mark is the first boy he's had feelings for, which might explain why he is seeking him out so much and why he is so dense about the fact he has been cheating just as much as Ploy 😂 I really hope you continue reacting to this series! I'm really enjoying hearing your thoughts, particularly as someone who is coming to the story without having seen the miniseries. There's a lot to come! Also, re: the Director's Cut, I watched it but personally prefer the original version. The deleted scenes are interesting and they added in a few small parts that explain what's happening in more detail, but in my opinion the original flows better.

2022-07-11 03:40:48 +0000 UTCThe directors cut is available internationally (well at least it's there for the US). i haven't watched it yet (wanted to wait until all the directors cut eps are released first) but checked to see if the first ep was there.. and it was. I think I read they will release one ep of directors cut on fridays? I think?

2022-07-11 03:40:03 +0000 UTCI like the discussion that this series brings about because everyone has different perspectives. I think what Mark said in the lunchroom scene about "people are together because of love not responsibility" basically describes Vee and Ploy's relationship and why they're still together. I think they maybe had feelings for each other at some point (if at all) but don't feel that way anymore but are still keeping up the pretense of the relationship because they've been with each other for so long and they got comfortable. Maybe they also feel guilty for not doing enough to sustain the relationship. Vee obviously feels something for Mark and it's different than what he feels for Ploy. I think he just hasn't completely come to terms with it yet. Anyway I don't know if Javi is going to make it through this series because it's just going to get messier 😂

2022-07-11 02:47:22 +0000 UTCSo obviously Vee cheated (when he slept with Mark) and he clearly has feelings for him. A part of me wonders if he (Vee) doesn't see what he's doing now ("hanging out with Mark") as him cheating. I Also feel like Vee feels obligated and like he's unworthy of her, so he's staying.

2022-07-10 21:00:03 +0000 UTCVee is heartbroken from Ploy's cheating because he has not been considering what he has done with Mark as cheating, since he loves Ploy and (up till this point) he doesn't love Mark (at least not the same as Ploy). It's as you say, he's dense, but he's also immature. He likes spending time with Mark and has been unconsciously worrying about what Mark thinks and whatnot, but has not been able to connect the dots with his own emotions or even what this would look like to a third party. As the other comment said, the short version had the online presence aspect, as well as in the novel, and I think I liked it like that better, because Vee found out through the internet that she was cheating on him, instead of Mark telling him. I just hope Mark saying it first doesn't snowball into any type of resentment from Vee later on.

2022-07-10 20:29:26 +0000 UTCAt least in the original en of love version of love mechanics ploy and vee were like a campus couple where like they had a online presence and like the top couple on campus everyone knew about so like I think that’s why even when she kept blowing him off they stayed together for that reputation but in this one it isn’t talked about tooo much here so ig it’s not a big thing anymore lmao but side note once u pointed out the stairs I said together with me at the same time as you and another side note I truly appreciate every appreciation pause you do bc I be needing it
