Only Friends Textposts: Ep 3 (1/2)

Cheum will probably apologize to Boston next ep, but the way women are written in this show is kinda dookie. Most of the time, it feels like they are just in the show to fill a checkbox for token female/lesbian representation and that’s it.

Cheum is my favorite character, but even I realize that she’s mainly there to “keep the boys in line”, be that friend that’s written to go along with however Mew feels, and be the lesbian of the show. I hate that there's not much to her character outside of that.

My girl is so poorly written and having her coddle her brother that LIED TO HER ABOUT BEING SA’D BY HER BEST FRIEND instead of telling him how that’s a shitty thing to do is so insane to me. Especially when Cheum is usually so ready to pop off if someone’s doing some dumb shit. Her not doing so in a moment like THAT felt very out of character. It’s like the writers don’t know what to do with Cheum, so they give her flip-floppy emotions when it comes to characters that aren't April and Mew.

Also, the scene did nothing but make the hate on Lookjun increase cuz people can’t separate fiction from reality! This is only my 2nd Thai bI show (the first was KinnPorsche), but if badly written female and lesbian characters is gonna constantly be a thing, then l'mma have to avoid the ones with women in them. Like, don't even bother adding a token girl of the bunch to the show if y'all are just gonna write her like y’all want people to hate her and not defend her actress from the misogynistic, woman-hating fans!

Its crazy how fandoms know to blame the writers for scenes they don’t like when the character is a man, but when it’s a woman, they act like she wrote the scene herself, proceed to say the worst things about her, and start attacking the actress on social media…

Anyways, the apology scene (if it’s not glossed over like a lot of things are in this show) is coming like 6 days from now, so the fandom will continue to hate on her until then ✌🏾😔

So far, Chueam x April is like the Fexi of Only Friends. The writer is barely giving them scenes together and yet they are still the sweetest couple in the show and in their own little world amongst all the chaos 🥹
