Episode four isn’t quite a throwaway “filler” episode, but it’s not one of the deepest episodes either – especially when watching right after episode three. 

SYNOPSIS

At breakfast, Deana and Pharm both have a shared memory of In and Kon, though they still do not yet know (nor have they revealed to one another) their connection to the ill-fated lovers. 

At the university, Team and Mananow engage in some gentle teasing of Pharm. They both know Dean brought him to the university, but even so, Pharm doesn’t tell them the truth, though he does promise to make each of them lunch.

When Pharm drops off Manaow’s sandwich, the head of the drama club Alex (Phiravich Attachitsataporn, Mean), who identifies as bisexual, takes it upon himself to flirt with Pharm, which breaks Manaow’s heart. However, Pharm rejects him.

Later Pharm teaches Manaow and another actress from the Drama club, Del how to make a Thai dessert called Chor-Muang. As they talk, Pharm learns that Del is Dean’s younger sister. She also reveals that he’s very strict and that she, Dean, and her middle brother, Don, used to all have breakfast together, but lately, Dean has been leaving early – Pharm doesn’t tell Del (or Manaow) that he’s the reason why. 

Alex appears again, flirting with Pharm, which annoys Del and Manaow. Del takes it upon herself to shove one of the Chor-Muang into his mouth after he asked Pharm to feed him.

The next morning, Dean and Pharm have breakfast again, and its’ revealed that the two have similar birthmarks on their temples. Parm has a flash of Korn taking his own life, dropping a bowl it shatters at his feet. Dean rushes to protect him. 

THOUGHTS

It’s not my favorite episode. It was a strange choice to reshow something the viewers have already seen, but I do understand why because Pharm’s breakdowns book an otherwise comedic episode. The one thing about the series that does bother me is just how much the Team comments on Manaow’s weight. They’re good friends, and she doesn’t mind, but it’s not something I enjoy seeing. I hate Alex’s character, with a passion, and I’m not overly fond of Mean as a person either. Still, even with the episode being one of the weakest in the series, it’s very enjoyable.
