Khun Mee Patihan (2022)

Depressing

Sad, sad, sad. Wasted 22.5 hours watching a depressing show. Nut used and abused Tofu. Tofu gave Nut true and beautiful love, support, and understanding when he needed it the most, and for what? I guess that life sometimes is not fair.
I won’t even bother watching the ending. I like to watch bl’s vs regular shows because they are uplifting and they bring happiness to a few minutes of my life. I guess no this time.
I would love for them to release the books ahead of time, so we would know what we are getting into before starting to watch something that we wont enjoy.
I guess depressing show for depressing times we live in.

SI TIENES BUENA SALUD MENTAL VELA

Es una historia llena de mucho amor, dolor y estigmas sociales, que te lleva en cada episodio a querer saber más y creer en el amor siempre es fuerte e incondicional, pero si quieres mantener tu buena salud mental es mejor no verla porque rompe el corazón y la poca estabilidad mental, ya que no alecciona nada, solo perpetúa el clásico sacrificio sin sentido de las personas que en la realidad cae en algo enfermizo.

La historia debe ser tomada con pinzas porque no alecciona solo lastima, una lastima que tengamos aun en 2022 este tipo de historias que no reconfortan ni dejan creer en nada.

Sweet but conflicted series with a mixed ending

This series has a genre fusion that is not very common, quite rare actually. This type of mystery story with a simple and sweet main lead tends to take the story in 2 different directions which makes the audience a bit confused.

From the start of the series, it felt as if the series won't have a proper happy ending as the non-existing love triangle was too complicated and it will be very difficult for the writers to solve it to have a proper happy ending.

Even with a complicated story, one thing I love about the series is how some of the things are presented, tofu's character definitely being one of them. Beautifully crafted.

Story & Direction:
I find the seed story to be too unrealistic. Even for something scifi, you need to give proper explanations of how it came into existence, till the final episode there were still so many questions unanswered, which was a bit too late. Teddy ability to talk to things in the house is unrealistic again, especially since he turned into a human.
When it comes to direction & editing, I think there are just too many flashbacks and many of them weren't timed properly.
Another thing is Nut's character, it always felt like Nut's character played 2 roles that were not merged properly. His angry role was a bit extreme, making him look like an a**hole in many scenes. However in some other scene when the character is supposed to be angry, he was presented in a comparatively calm manner making the angry extreme a bit illogical.
I really like that it's not based on university but more on the work environment.
Also, it felt as if Ken's character would have looked better without glasses.


What I liked:
* Non-University BL
* Beautifully Crafted character
* multiple episodes released per week
* not just focused on BL
* even though it's not a proper happy ending, I liked it

What I disliked
* only homosexual couples (at the end, another homosexual couple was added)
* dual nature of nut's character
* unrealistic scenes
* too many flashbacks

Its hurts but it hurts for good

OMG tofu is so cute. I need a tofu in my life, actually we all need him. He is such a baby.
When i watched the 1st episode, i thought why this series has 1.5 hr running time and 16 episodes... How can a simple story be this much long.. but after watching some of the ep i can say that this series is too much complicated and so many stories to unlock. And if you guys love to watch mysterious series then its for you. After all i really hooked up to this series from the start because it was a different experience to me.
Firstly it was a fantasy drama plus it air thrice every week
plus it have 85-90 min running time.
Apart from that it portrait the real story of us.. how do we react to a situation and what we need from others, attention, care, and some family problems everything clearly portrayed here
These are the reasons why i was interested into this series (and now also)
This series is a rollercoaster ride through out from the start till the end. I loved the story but it's a little bit complex to understand at 1st
And especially all the songs are nice.
Acting of both the actors is marvellous mainly nat( not just them everyone nailed their character ). When nat gets angry even i get scared. Tofu is sweet as icecream.. loved him sooo much. Don't try to binge-watch, it is much better to watch ongoing. And the best part is its airing on Netflix.
Don't think abt the finale its the ri8 end to the series and little heartbroken but all the pieces are fixed at the end. And all of u who came here to watch a cute comedy series then its not for u . It will brok ur heart, tear ur soul and mainly you'll b happy and sad in every ep. This series is a master piece guys watch it

DONT WATCH THIS SERIES ???

Now here’s the thing, the only good thing about this show was the damn dog and tofu. That’s it. Everything else was just a whole lot of wtf is going on and can we move on alr. Confusion after confusion just to give us the ending that would most likely cause everyone to lower their ratings. Personally, I would only recommend this show if you wanna get stop at ep 14 without checking any spoilers on the ending and just leaving it be. If not this is one can be skipped. Just watch YouTube snippets of the couples if you want the cute moments.
I hope there isn’t a season 2 or even a spin-off cause of the way things were left, season 2 would just create more confusion.
All in all this show has probably given us all the worst night ever. Hopefully, people read these reviews and stay well clear of this show.

Understanding Nut's Character

Not All BL are about kissing, sex, and being Sweet all the time. Nut's attitude won't be able to understand by people who never experienced nor understand what he experienced as a child. I swear, I understand how you feel, but try to put yourself on his shoes. Believe me, there's a lot of gay men like Nut who suffered or even currently suffering from their parents' belief towards gay people. Understand the flow of the story and the characters the actors portray. I have a gay brother who is rebellious until today. My parents and him aren't talking for years now. I am the only one who understand him and able to talk to him. This BL really widens my understanding towards my brother. This BL gives us a product of wrong parenting, which is Nut. No doubt the production team decided to air this in Channel 3 where local people in Thailand can watch it, despite knowing they might receive negative feedbacks from older generation. For me the story teaches us the lesson, esp our parents, that what we think is right, is not always the best thing for our kids. BTW, there's a lot of gay couples out there who are having toxic relationships worst than Nut and Tofu. There's a lot of reason, and one of which is the same as Nut's. FYI.

This is a masterpiece!

I give this BL series a 10/10
It is a true masterpiece. I want more BLs like this one. Even though it is a fantasy it is so real than most BLs I have seen. And as a homosexual person who has struggled being accepted, had an emotionally abusive father and have dealt with mental health issues, I feel well represented in this story. I empathise with everyone and I understand their behaviours. There is A LOT of important issues that this series covers. I do not want to spoil. But this is a series I believe a lot of peope should watch. I'm definitelly rewatching it after its complete. :)

How to create a Greek tragedy in 16 steps OR JK! We're still homophobes.

Everything about this show is almost flawless.
The photography is fantastic, the storytelling progresses well.
Editing and styling wise this is a beautiful show.

But, and this is a massive issue with the show, they try to downplay some very dark themes of as cute.
Anyone that has had some serious trauma in their life should stay far from this show. It will mess you up.

The show needs so many trigger warnings! It checks all the boxes. We have assault, homophobia, murder, familial violence and finally the big one. Suicide.

The marketing for this show was done wrong.
Even the poster implies a different ending. There is no Tarn in sight.
This should never have been a gay romance, instead it should just have been a statement on Thai society, period.
The love story between Tofu and Nut should never have been explored.

Tofu is in my opinion the only main character, anyone else is secondary.
We get to know each character as Tofu breaks the fourth wall and tells their stories.
We cry with him, sympathize with him. Get our hearts broken with him.

But then this show does the unthinkable, it leaves the main Character with no choice but to commit suicide.

It does not give him room to move, it does not give the viewer any respite from the fact that this character needs to die.

Although a lot of people does not see his actions as suicide, the fact the he KNOWINGLY does something with the intend to die is the definition of suicide.

None of the previous fifteen episodes with all its violence and dark themes prepares you for the writer's need to change the lovable teddy bear into a martyr.

We then have the show glorify this character's death as heroic, and it has the audacity to think that the character we grow to love is nothing but an inanimate object anyway so what's the problem?

We are treated to social commentary and themes of recovery but this all gets nullified by the choice the writer forces on the character.

According to the director, Tofu is 'other' and 'lesser'. The director's even goes so far as to say he should not exist, and this is why he cannot be with Nut, Tarn is the end goal because he is human.

This is a contradiction to the series theme and message.

It is the way LGBT people are seen and made to feel, and to have Tofu actually die out of a sense of guilt is not what the show is trying to tell for 15 episodes.

Be warned, this is a dark show. It is not fluffy, it pretends to be, but it spirals into darkness in the last few episodes and though it tries to get away with a cute ending, it cannot get away from the fact that none of it's characters will ever recover from the trauma dealt to them.

You cannot get away with Nut's character going through so much trauma in his life, that he will eventually recover.
He cannot, he is left with the knowledge that Tofu was signaling him that he was going to die.
The show doubles down on this when they bring Tofu back as a sentient Teddy Bear again.

And ye gads! They actually include a scene that is more at home in a horror movie, and try to play it of as cute.

Heavy on the Drama, Light on the BL

Where to start? I have a love - hate relationship with this show. It was very heavy on the drama side with issues such as mental illness, guilt, plots of attempted murder, and more.

On the BL side it was heavy on the disapproval of parents to the point of violence and lots of sadness.

The 2 main male leads had a deep connection and love, but there were so many "almost" kisses that I felt a bit deflated at times.

The story was exceptional in that it held my interest throughout, and despite some of the things I didn't like, there was more that I did like.

Lot's of complaints in the reviews about the ending - which I agreed with those complaints. Not a high rewatch value for me.

This BL is extremely heart warning!

To be honest I watched it bc of the good reviews..and since it’s nowadays rare to find a worthy watch BL I gave it a try. Until the last episode I freaking enjoyed it.

By my opinion the story could have been a little shorter, there were completely unnecessary scenes.

Also I understand it’s hard to act out a gay character, but it really could have more love full scenes.

Otherwise the acting was on point, they casted talented actors. I hope I’ll see them in other BL series too.

Anyways be aware you probably gonna cry your eyes out at the end. Tissues are welcomed, also your time shouldn’t be budgeted. It will take long, but it is worth to watch.

Loved and Expected

I enjoyed the series from start to finish. It gave me reasons to cry as well as laugh. I loved and expected the ending once I realized how Tofu was linked to Tarn. I understand that some people may be disappointed with the ending, but I don't believe it could have gone any other way. When the Teddy Bear was running through the streets and hiding from the dog in the final episode, it was a bit comedic. I kept thinking "Didn't anyone see that?" I gave it a 9.5 instead of a 10 because Jan just seems to vanish and Tarn takes over her house. You don't know if she was punished or what happened to her. I'm relieved that everyone ended up happy and that I wasn't left crying at the end. Even Phrippri found her own Tofu.
