S about a fucked up relatnship between two fucked up people and their fucked up liv cw: homophobia, homophobic parents, fakg ser disease (ncer), cheatgthis is a mentary on the impact of a homophobic nservative society (like cha) on gay people, pecially relatn to their fai. Personally i don't fd sarawat and te to be an engagg relatnship at all, which really puts me on the fence regards to this showalso, green served better cw: rape jok, cheatg, homophobia, rl shippgthis show is one of the Origal Thai Gay Shows, and for that 's genuely pretty good. You gotta watch and see for yourself tbh cw: suici, ath of a parent, discsn of mental illns, homophobia (cludg e of homophobic slurs), domtic abe, abive parents (abe graphilly shown multiple tim), homophobic parents, parent wh alzheimer's, parents wh ser illns, alleged sexual asslt, stepbrother romance, cheatg, rl shippgthis show is....

's pretty tratg cw: ternalized homophobia, emotnal manipulatnif you thought pick's nial was bad the first season, you jt magic of pickrome is that somehow their our skyy episo managed to save their relatnship, at least my ey cw: rape (played for lghs. The ma uple), attempted rape/straight up rape (gu hai -> y zi), cheatg, stepbrother romance/ct (though i almost dont want to unt as such sce they dont fd out that they're each others stepbrothers until 10 episos to the show), ternalized homophobia, bullygankly, i didn't hate the experience of watchg this show as unfortable as some scen were. Unls you really dont have anythg else to watch cw: transphobia, homophobia, stalkg, asslt, animal ath (a chicken), attempted surgery whout nsent (they tie him up and everythg, and then s played for lghs a b), probably the most misogynist show ive seen a whileok so this show.....

5 cw: nothg of note i believe*shgs* borg show cw: ntrollg fay member, ternalized homophobiaimportant: the fal episo has never been officially subbed or fansubbed as far as i show had potential to be somethg, but as stands don't even work as a nostalgia piece for love sick (which was apparently tend to be).
