Stop making Teh the villan...

Everyone keeps making Teh out to be the issue and i am going to try and explain his character and what i have seen and what i think people are missing. The way Billkin is playing this character is perfect. People are forgetting this is a coming of age story. So below i will try and break it up into the different episodes as we are only up to episode 3 so far.

EPISODE 2-
Teh is completely lost, because he is a hypersensitive character and nothing is going according to his plans. Teh explains he is feeling this way to Oh Aew after his break down he is feeling lost as everything and everyone is changing.

Khim is now a flight attendant. Tom has left and Jai is the only one still around out of his friends. Oh Aew is changing, dropping out of the course and getting a tattoo. Teh doesn’t like change.

EPISODE 3-
You can clearly see in this episode that Teh loves Oh Aew and is feeling a disconnect which he trys to make up for by wearing red again ( Oh Aews colour). These are the little nuances that i think people are missing!! I personally love when filmmakers use color palettes to reflect a characters emotions. This series is so beautifully done.

Teh wants to be like Jai he doesn’t have feelings for him or like him in that way. He literally wants to be him, he thinks that Jai has everything together while Teh he feeling so lost.

Now on to Oh Aew and Teh, they lack communication. To be honest alot of that is Oh Aew. Oh Aew not telling Teh he is lonely in EPISODE 1.

●Not telling Teh that he wanted `him to stay with him and not hang out with his friends after the play, instead he encouraged him to go. When clearly that wasn't what Oh wanted.
●Not telling Teh he made a decision about changing courses until after he made the decision.

Which i saw alot of people defending Oh Aew saying it's his life and yes it is! but people are forgetting that Teh is a big part of Oh Aews life. People are forgetting that Teh gave up his spot in the university for Oh so to not be told and let in on what Oh was feeling would have been a slap in the face for Teh.

I think people need to stop misunderstanding the character of Teh. I have noticed alot of people love Oh Aew, but are completely disregarding Oh's flaws.

THEIR FIRST TIME......
With Teh not remembering his first time with Oh I believe it's more to do with his inability at the time to reconcile old Oh with new Oh.

I was asked this question about Teh, by a friend-Did Teh go into the pool before because their first time was in the water?

Water in media is usually a sign change is coming so i think it was symbolic in a lot of ways. But I think the fact that they had their first time in the sea was part of that. It's also why them being cast in the same blue hue was important I think.

Teh has always been an overachiever and is always trying to prove himself to people. moving from a small area to a large city with different people can affect oneself.

I think this script is a masterpiece. I’m not disappointed at all on the direction it is taking and I think these troubles are necessary for this story.
Also, they referenced Wong Kar-Wai on this episode, the master of visual storytelling about relationships. I’m loving this season so much!!!

DISNEY and JTBC i will send you my therapist bill.

Each episode in this drama was so well put together and really kept the suspense there wasn't a moment where i was bored or wanted to switch it off, itkept the viewers in anticipation throughout. This drama is definitely not a light hearted drama and it had me in a complete breakdown.

The soundtracks and cinematography were just perfect and the pace of this drama is great as well, nothing felt rushed. Overall this drama is a complete masterpiece. If you are not watching this drama you are totally missing out!

JISOO-
It's so hard to believe that this is Jisoo's first drama because her acting was phenomenal. She portrayed the character so well.

JUNG HAE IN-
Jung Hae In Is an absolutely incredible actor. Snowdrop has just completely solidified why he is one of my favorite actors. Seeing him portray a role so different from his usual roles was amazing. The way he expresses his emotions just through his eyes is just absolute perfection.

Every single actor in this drama portrayed their characters so well.

The leads had fantastic chemistry both on-screen and off screen as well. Jung hae in and Jisoo are literally perfect for each other.

This is now in my top 5 dramas of all time.

Mmmm

Bite me could be a great Thai BL as it steers away from the usual Thai BL troupes for example Engineering students/ university students or being gay just for you.

What I am struggling with is the long as hell staring they do, it is actually uncomfortable as it happens constantly. I understand that the directors are trying to convey that they are attracted to each other but they go alittle overboard with it. I will give it time and hope they rectify this issue.

Also one more issue is they spend to much time on meaningless fillers, like why do we need to see Aek riding his bike to his destination for 2-3 minutes i just don't understand.

My ratings will go up as episodes are released.

UPDATE My rating did not go up, it dropped. This was all over the place. Disappointing.
