Unpopular opinion or not…
I have a feeling that people are going to be so annoyed with Tine and the narrative 2gether has taken where Tine still doesn’t fully trust Sarawat.
I must admit watching this episode, I was a little sad that Tine didn’t have more faith in Sarawat after everything thus far. I understand that Tine is a character who is easily hurt and he evidently has some kind of anxiety and self-image problems and that is what makes it difficult, but honestly? Who hurt him? What happened to make him this deeply wounded so easily?
This response is so ingrained in how he functions it has to be more than just being rejected. Type acts the same kind of way, with having a self-image problem and strives to be a perfectionist, which I think is a factor in why he didn’t leave with Man at the end of the day. He was scared about his image. The theme of planning for the future and all other scenes with Type alone (and with Man) are all about perfectionism.
But I’m pretty sure it was also for Man’s sake, as he was trying to stand up for him at the end of the meal and other indications of just having some respect for Man’s kindness etc. And didn’t want a fight to start out.
1. This is not a face of pleasure from Tine towards that boss
2. These next lines and actions indicate that he was trying to prevent a fight from happening and the best thing would be to go with that boss, in order to protect Man, even if he didn’t like it.
Anyway, I get “Oh similarity of brother’s thing” because my sisters and I both have the same problem of self-image and self-love problems which can be seen in both my mum and and my dad as well. I get it, which is why I believe this to be more mental health oriented than it just being a simple character trait.
So the reason why Tine is the way he is, is more than rejection and not being able to find the right love; he also has the kind of brain that blows things out of proportion, finds it hard to have comfort and everything in between. So before people start to say “Oh, I don’t understand why Tine isn’t over this” sort of thing. I understand that this is annoying, but I also understand why Tine is the way he is.
To add. If Tine is anything like me. I listen and believe what people say for a matter of minutes, hours if I’m lucky (sometimes it’s not at all) before I start spiralling again in self-doubt. Tine has the added indication of what this song could mean (love), which he believes that it is the one Sarawat has been writing for Pam. Then we have the scene that has been said in ep 3 (hence the flashbacks)
I understand where he is coming from, and his actions. I really want no hate to come of this because it really does seem that Tine has anxiety problems. I personally, have never believed anyone has ever been genuine to me in my entire life, or had the ability to change my mind about myself. It is annoying, believe me from and outsider (helping friends and family believe in themselves) and inside I know this. My mum has gone through her life having self-doubt and even though my dad alleviates those negative feelings, she still has it quite strongly. It is something I don’t believe you can get rid of.
This is why I believe he has anxiety. This is so deep within him, and for me it makes things more believable. Sure, it sucks, sure this is more drama that frankly is not wanted, but it’s so understandable that I’m caught in the middle.
Also can we just take a moment to fully appreciate Win’s fucking amazing acting?? Like, the pain I felt when he put his hand on his hard as he cried like that. God damn, that was amazing!
Please be kind. I welcome discussion though ^-^
