Ron Does Stuff

It’s the penultimate episode of this series! I’m really excited to see how they’re going to wrap everything up!

At the end of the last episode, our heroes were in a tight spot. While they were able to retrieve the real stone from Wadfah, they’re now cornered by Suchat. San arrives to rescue them, but with him weakened without the stone, will he actually be of any help?

We’re immediately told at the start of the show that San isn’t alone — Third came with him and is calling the police while San is inside facing Suchat and his gang. However, it may not be of any use at all as San is not recovering from his wounds the way he used to when the stone was still with him. Suchat is really enjoying having power over San, shooting him in both legs and kicking him as well. They really should have made sure that his body was found after that car crash!

Things start to turn around when Wee manages to give the magic stone to San. Empowered, he starts kicking butt while Wee and everyone else escape to go to Third. Well, that was the plan but everyone splits up instead. Wadfah heads somewhere else to do con artist stuff maybe while Wee is too injured to go on and Chu stays behind with him. Tao’s the only one who heads to Third.

Due to plot reasons, Wee and Chu are taken back to San by Chen, the mysterious man that’s been after the stone all along. He really wants that stone and even shoots Suchat and Wee to pressure San into giving it to him. History does repeat itself!

But then a scuffle ensues when Suchat — still alive! — goes after the stone and it’s all just pretty chaotic and Chen gets shot and Suchat gets shot again and again and again and I gotta admit this all feels pretty rushed. This is turning out to be the weakest episode so far.

Wee gets shot in the chest during all that chaos and now San may just have to live for another century to be reunited again. Honestly, at this point I’d rather just die. I am not going through 100 years of that again. And the fact that San immediately starts blaming himself? Imagine spending another hundred years with all that self-hate and shattered self-esteem? Death!

Wee tells San that he loves him and then dies? I start laughing hysterically because what? What? There’s still an episode left! Are we going to get another hundred year time jump? Are you fucking kidding?

It turns out that Wee isn’t quite dead yet, and San tells Tao to use the stone to heal Wee. But Tao says with just half of the stone with them, using it to heal Wee’s extensive wounds might disintegrate it, which in turn would mean San would die the day the goddess’ birthday rolls around. And I think it’s cruel to give the love of your life a new life and then die a few days after! I’d prefer you let me die instead! Tao does it anyway and Wee is saved but at the cost of the stone.

Now it gets really awkward. Third plays along with San and makes Wee believe that it was medicine that saved his life and not the stone and now Wee is living his life unaware that the deadline for San’s is nearing. This is cruel of San to do to Wee! At least tell him you’re going to die! But also how much will it fuck Wee up that his grandmother and husband are going to die within the same year? Maybe even the same week?

The show distracts us with a Wee shirtless scene but his tits are not enough to make us forget about the fact that San is going to die soon. Staring at himself shirtless in the mirror also reminds Wee that definitely was on the brink of death and shouldn’t even be alive right now. San, however, is successful in distracting Wee with some dick. Valid.

Back at the temple, Tao and Chu are trying to find another way to save San’s life, but it’s looking bleak. Wee is still blithely unaware of how short his time with San is because San is showering affection on him and who hasn’t been distracted by a hot guy showering you with affection? San even proposes to him again and that is nasty, nasty work. You’re going to die in a few days what are you doing! At least prepare him for impact! San does want the marriage to be public and you know what, okay, you did go on that. Also can’t congratulate Thailand enough for legalizing same-sex marriage!

After Wee accepts San’s proposal they go and tell Wee’s grandmother who may I remind everyone USED TO CRUSH ON SAN. I don’t know why but this is what I found weird! I just can’t wrap my head around you being okay with your grandson marrying someone you used to crush on!

And then Wee’s grandma tells San that her only request is for him to take care of Wee once she’s gone and San is a lying liar who lies because he promises he will knowing full well he’s dying pretty much in a few days. He does say that he’ll take care of Wee until his last breath but that last breath is in a few days!

Wee isn’t stupid and starts to piece together that something is being hidden from him. He isn’t gullible either and doesn’t buy Chu’s explanations. It also doesn’t help that Wee has a dream that pretty much told him that San is going to die. Wee tells San about his dream and San carefully chooses his words so he technically isn’t lying to Wee. But he’s not being clear with him either!

At breakfast, Wee gets a call from Third, who tells Wee his grandma is getting worse. WHAT DID I JUST SAY. San lies again and tells Wee’s grandma that he’ll look out for him as long as he lives — which isn’t for very long! — and now that Wee’s sorted his grandma kicks the bucket.

And then the next day San’s condition starts to get worse as well. This really is not Wee’s week. San’s family are ordered not to tell Wee what’s happened, so Wee goes out to try and find San on his own.

San, meanwhile, is with Third, who’s doing what he can to at least lessen the pain. Tao’s also with the two of them and San instructs him to only tell Wee what happened after he’s died. Third, the voice of reason, points out that Wee has a right to know about all of this and that Wee should at least have the chance to say goodbye to someone he loves. Third, if Wee can’t love you I will!
