**EPISODE 11 REVIEW**

I cried a lot on this episode, again, starting from the bus scene. I think this scene concluded Natee's confusion and denial regarding Meen and Mind, though this is not to say that he was already done processing what was in front of him and getting over his loss. Meanwhile for Mind, this scene conveyed how much she longed for Natee to accept her. Their acting was, of course, on point as usual.

Now for Pete's side story, first I like to commend Sing's versatility. I have always seen him play bubbly and often loud characters in the past but he really did well on this one! I literally jawdropped when Pete's mom slapped him. We all know that's not the right way of parenting, pressuring your kid so much to perfect things academically. His mother was literally putting the life line of her job to his son. I hope this scene would give way to her realizations about parenting. This side story gave so much depth to Pete's character. Again, this scene made me tear up lol.

Gun's confession fell between subtlety and candidness. It was such a sweet moment that made me cry again haha. I loved the lines she said to Mind---that names didn’t matter and she could be anyone she wanted when she was with him. That scriptwriting was topnotch. I felt sad for Gun when he clarified he meant to say he liked Mind platonically, not romantically. This boy was literally on his own! Aside from the MCs, Gun carried so much secrets too that he chose not to share to anyone.

As much as bullying is horrendous in any form, seeing Tida being bullied back was poetic justice. It was so satisfying to watch her have no one to back her up, knowing how horrible she had been as a person.

Ok now, I have seen a lot of comments about people liking Gun better than Natee. First of all, both of them have their own struggles, personality, and depth. They are equally complex and interesting characters. For the people saying Natee is boring and they prefer Gun as the main lead and whatnots, just from the present timeframe, Natee has been through a lot. He literally lost his best friend and found out about his best friend's twin sister which the whole time he thought was still Meen; he was supporting his father financially through swimming; he got hit by a car with his attempt to help Mind, and now could not swim due to a bone fracture---not to mention backstories. And now that we saw Meen will be back, imagine the whirlwind of emotions Natee will go through even more. From the start, I have always rooted for Natee not just as the male lead but as a mere character of the show. Moreso, when Natee asked Tida ‘who died then’ while fully knowing the story, I felt his desperation for justice. That was a rhetorical question for him but it contained his grief, anger, and desperation.

Lastly, I get why people are complaining that Mind is too weak to fight Tida back. There are also comments about how the original character was much stronger than her. I am only judging based on this show because I have not fully seen the original drama, but I understand Mind. Yeah call her a damsel in distress but people need to understand that we have different ways of coping, different pacing on healing. Mind was bullied terribly that she killed herself. She has a lot of things going on and it really takes time to heal. She's really doing a good job at facing her bully in my opinion. Actually now, it seems like her worries lie more on keeping her secrets rather than having to stand up for herself and face Tida.

Overall this episode ended on a very intense note of Meen coming back. I can't wait for episode 12!

PS: Just by seeing Namtan on the thumbnail of episode 12's teaser, I already knew it was Meen and not Mind. Namtan's acting is topnotch. And I also can't wait for the new OST to be released.
