Overhated for reasons that are explained in the series

This drama is given so much hate that I almost didn't watch it, but I'm so glad I did.

A lot of the complaints I saw was Chonlatee kissing Ton right after almost being sa-ed himself. This itself was called out in the show, with Chon's mother herself telling him consent is important and he was wrong, which he completely agrees with.

Another complaint is Ton's homophobic comments throughout the first half and then a complete turn-around. If you had a father who was constantly pressuring you and flinging hate towards a certain community, it would make sense that Ton had a lot of internal homophobia. It doesn't excuse all the things he said and he himself admits that, but he learns and makes up for it by standing up for himself and others constantly.

The cheating is another thing that is constantly critiqued, which I agree with to a degree. Ton should have handled that situation better, but Chon calls it out and doesn't forgive him easily, even going as far as to ask Ton what would happen if he was put in the situation again. He only forgives Ton after realizing how much time they both wasted not being able to love each other, which to each their own, but yes cheating is cheating. Chon isn't someone to just overlook something like that and I'm sure it wasn't the last time they discussed it.

Can we also talk about people's reaction to the pregnancy? Some gay couples still very much want to be parents and need someone to be a surrogate. Yes, I think it was fairly silly to be Miriam, but not really at the same time. She really became a part of their little family and was there to help and defend both couples and they all really saved her.

All in all, this drama gets a lot of flack for legit reasons, but overlook how well the drama itself calls out the toxicity and has the characters stand up and against the toxicity. I can say it's one of my favorite dramas and I hope someone reads this and agrees.
