it’s been a week since the shine finale and since krailert and naran eloped to who knows where, together and safe and happy, krailert definitely did not end up trapped with the devil forever and was defo not forced to impregnate said devil and they definitely had a wonderful life quarreling over music and going on stupid movie dates and writing each other beautiful love letters
Each one of us must be responsible for our own choices. I have already made mine, and now I’m ready to accept its outcome. But Trin, you still have a chance. I want you to choose the life you want and live it on my behalf.
Despite my immense love for MileApo, I confess that the series left me with conflicting feelings, especially regarding the TrinTanwa couple. The anticipation for their reunion was enormous, but the execution left something to be desired. Tanwa’s character, while charismatic, borders on caricature, and the relationship between him and Trin lacks development and depth. The lack of a clear timeline and a more solid narrative arc for the couple hindered the development of their story, leaving the impression that the series relied too heavily on the actors’ undeniable chemistry.
Given this, I completely understand why part of the fandom rooted for Victor. His relationship with Trin was built with more elaborate dialogue and meaningful moments, creating a solid and believable foundation. This disparity in the development of the relationships is undoubtedly a weakness of the series.
However, it’s important to highlight the positives. The series shines in its approach to Thailand’s complex political and democratic situation, offering international fans a unique opportunity to learn about and delve deeper into the country’s history. Mile and Apo’s performances are impeccable, conveying emotion and authenticity in every scene. They undoubtedly delivered a memorable work, with brilliant performances and an important political message.
In short, despite the flaws in the development of the TrinTanwa relationship, the series still stands out for Mile Apo’s performance, its immersion in Thai culture, and its courage in addressing relevant political issues. It’s a work worth watching, but with the caveat that not all expectations will be met.
Same, I think TT was a bit forced. I don’t know their story didn’t feel as organic as some other series and I actually thought plot- driven it made more sense to have Trin and Victor especially thinking about the rebellion.
Oh Krailert funded their community education project 😢
I hate his life, I knew he wouldn’t get an unadulterated happy ending, but I think what Dhevi is doing to him is even worse than I thought it would be. Like … It’s maybe better than being killed? But that’s about it, still one of the worst fates I can think of.
Thinking about being trapped in a marriage and forced to have a baby with someone just horrifies me.
