Ron Watches Century of Love Episode 6

We’re past the halfway point of this series and it’s been a good show so far! I can’t wait to see how things turn out!

I pretty much squealed through most of the previous episode as we saw San being caring, being jealous, and finally holding Wee’s hand. Which really shouldn’t be as exciting as he’s already had two sex dreams about Wee before but what can I say? That little hand-holding scene worked on me!

We open up this new episode with…a product placement? I wish I could screencap it but oh well. Aside from the pretty subtle product placement San and Wee are being happy little queer boys at the dining table. This malicious gay faggotry has to stop.

Then we get another product placement shot. I wish I could find that tweet saying only Filipinos do product placement because that’s such an uninformed way to look at things.

But as much as San and Wee are being lovey-dovey, San is still grappling with the realization that he’s into Wee. He’s worried that this is a betrayal of what he and Wad had but Chu suggests that maybe what he’s hung up on is Wee being a guy. But apparently that’s not something San is hung up on anymore because what’s troubling him at the moment is competition from Third. That maybe he’s too much of a boomer for Wee. Trust me San, there’s young queer people out there very into boomers.

Thanks to Chu — she’s the shipper in this family — Wee and San go on an amusement park date and when I tell you I relate with San sniffing what I assume is Poy-Sian after the rollercoaster? I can feel the creaking of your bones, San. Anyways we get a really cute montage of Wee and San doing all the cute amusement park things. There’s even some sniffing going on and given that I’ve been ~consuming~ Hannibal Lecter-related media for most of November it’s kinda in theme!

And because Wee is a the lead character, it’s not just San pursuing him. Third calls him up and asks him out to dinner and after he explains that his marriage to San was just to undo bad luck, Third says he has a chance and Wee asks a chance to do what and boy he’s talking about a chance to bend you over! The background music’s pretty heavily telegraphing though that it’s going to end badly for Wee if he decides to take Third up on his offer.

But maybe the bad ending is meant for Third because right after their dinner date San shows up and confronts him. How’d San even find out where they are? Anyways, turns out Wee turned down Third and to Third’s credit, he’s not being a bitch about it. Unlike San, who can’t even admit to Wee that he’s falling for him but refuses to let him be with other guys who are at least man enough to be open about their emotions. Meanwhile, here I am thinking you’re three handsome guys why not just form a polycule or something?

Third’s not lacking in the looks department!

One good thing that’s come out of that confrontation is that it finally pushes San to tell Wee about his feelings. Unfortunately, that confession was heard by exactly zero people because Wee wasn’t in his room like San thought. And when Wee does arrive from his date with Third, San can’t muster up the courage to tell it to his face. He couldn’t even do it the next day!

It’s up to Chu to arrange things for these two disaster bisexuals AND THEN WE GET A GRATUITOUS SHOT OF WEE’S HAPPY TRAIL? After that happy surprise, the two of them go on a date where they slow dance? The malicious gay faggotry has to stop!

San tries to tell Wee that he’s into him but Wee really doesn’t want to feel any happiness in his life because he discounts San’s feelings and tells him that he’s just lonely and Wee just happened to be there. BABE. I think San would know more about his feelings than you?

BUT TO SAN’S CREDIT, he pushes through and tells Wee that he likes everything about him, the good and the bad, and if I were wee I’d service San right then and there propriety be damned. They do kiss though so there’s that!

OR AT LEAST THEY STARTED OUT KISSING BECAUSE THE NEXT SCENE IS THEY’RE IN A HOTEL ROOM AND SAN IS UNDRESSING WEE? NOBODY TOLD ME THIS WAS GONNA HAPPEN? THEY DO THE WHOLE MAKING OUT LEADING TO THE BLURRY SUGGESTION OF SEX THAT THEY DO IN STRAIGHT SHOWS?

Like…I’ve seen gay sex scenes before but I think this is the first one I’m seeing that was actually shown on national Thai television? I know it’s probably not the first one but I was just not prepared for them to take it as far as they did?

As the two of them are sleeping off what I assume is a spectacular fuck session there’s a whole sequence of Wee replacing Wad in San’s memories. I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing but the background music certainly is foreboding! But that sequence ends with San giving Wee Wad’s ring so lets worry about that later.

The next day, Wee tries not to spill the beans about the night before but San is a new man and tells his family that he and Wee slept together last night because why wouldn’t they, they’re married? I mean who can argue with that! San even asks that Wee’s stuff be moved into his room. That room is gonna stink with how often those two are gonna fuck.

Wee definitely dickmatized San because when Tao tells him that they found where Wad’s descendants live he doesn’t even care anymore. From the montage of him not being able to keep his hands off Wee, San is definitely okay with Wee being a man.

However, the goddess that gave them the magic stone doesn’t seem to be okay with it, because San dreams of the stone and him disintegrating into nothing. BIPHOBIA PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

San shrugs it off, I guess, because the next day he and Wee go to the hospital to pay respects to Wee’s grandma. BUT IT TURNS OUT THAT WEE’S GRANDMA HAD A CRUSH ON SAN YEARS AGO. Of course, she doesn’t know that they’re one and the same person but SAN DOES. And he admits to it? I…is that a good thing to do?

Well, it doesn’t matter what I think because Wee’s grandma’s cool with it, San’s cool with it, and Wee’s cool with it. I dunno I think I’d find it a little weird that the guy I used to crush on is now FUCKING MY GRANDSON. I’m fine with everybody else just coolly accepting homosexual relationships — I wish the world was actually like that — but I kinda expected there’d be some resistance to this one!

BUT WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THAT NOW A WOMAN THAT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE WAD SHOWS UP AT THE TEMPLE OF THE GODDESS. OH MY GODDESS.
