"... I learned to appreciate the happiness that no money can buy. The happiness of making my life meaningful. I got to have the best sticky rice of my life. I used to think that a hard mattress was impossible to sleep on. But it was not that bad when I actually slept on it. Things that need to get fixed... the bookshelf at school, the mosquito net, stocking up instant noodles. Things that I want to do... I miss eating pork bbq, getting used to the gecko sound. I'm really happy now. I don't even miss my own home. Where we feel happy, we feel like home." (Torfun Chareonpon)
out of the gate iāll tell yāall that this concept has massive plot holes bc i simply canāt put all the dots together in my head, but bc itās been rotting my brain for like two days i figured iād tell yāall anyway dfhgkjghdkflj is there a reason i cant get it to make sense?? ya bc its bullshit BUT i love it hdfkjghldkj so !!!!!!!! and admittedly this has hardly anything to back it up so iāll do what i can to outline what iāve seen that i feel adds even a tiny bit to this theory hdhglkjd
you can blame this entire thing on pāaof saying that the reason they didnāt tell anyone about torfunās death is aĀ āmust-seeā sdjkdhhkldj
the biggest conspiracy theory of all: torfun ISNāT dead.
1. torfunās death was as big of a scam as we all thought, but not because her death was purposeful.
iāve been thinking that the accident wasnāt an accident, and that tianās parents either purposely hit her or allowed her to die in hospital in order to get her heart. the latter makes more sense bc by then theyād be able to find out her private info (blood type etc) from the doctors that theyāre such good friends with. but with the conspiracy that im discussing, i propose that torfun isnāt even dead to begin with. i dont buy anyone is dead until i see the body on a slab and even then im not likely to believe it dfhgjkfghlghkdj
the issue with this of course is that tian dreams of her (and phu) in hospital and we assume itās because of having her heart. i donāt have an explanation for that, nor do i have one for tian seeing her face in the window the other time, but the idea that sheās still alive is essential to my next points.
whatās strange to me is that torfunās aunt is like not necessary?? but one of her two scenes was on the phone yelling at torfun about not having money, to which torfun asks if sheās just going to blow it on gambling. THATāS fascinating, because in my mind, i can see torfun being hit by the car and not dying, but rather being able to have her bills etc paid off by tianās parents and (stay with me) uses the money they pay her off with to move somewhere else to get away from her shitty family. witness protection babey! far fetched? of course. but what else do u expect from me
2. phupha running into tian in bangkok.
now this has so far not been explained. in ep1, tian walks past phupha at the hotel or whatever it was where he was attending an event with tianās parents. we can assume the event was full of people like tianās parents aka wealthy, influential, and can basically do whatever they want bc of that. phupha is dressed nicely, and he almost seems like heās not in too good a mood. by the direction heās walking (toward tian) and the fact that tian was walking toward the party (and phu) just then, i want to say for a second that phupha in fact was at the event that tian was attending too.
if phupha was there, we have to ask why. he has no place among those people, UNLESS he is doing business of some kind with them. what if that business was either following up or being told that torfun isnāt dead after all?
3. phupha knows she isnāt dead.
i can only speak for funerals in the u.s., but most happen within the month of a personās death. with that in mind, i will say that at the funeral phupha still believes torfun is dead for real. he expresses annoyance toward the fact that āeverything can be settled with money,ā which not only is a reference to his dislike for unnecessary extravagance (the way he was raised vs. the way tian was raised) but also implies that torfunās family was paid off bc of the accident. he says also "iāll never forgive the person who did this to her.ā this all says to me that he thinks sheās dead. that means that some time after the funeral, he is for some reason informed that torfun is actually alive. he isnāt let in on the details, which are they faked documents saying that she donated her heart to make it all more believable that sheās dead. again, no idea why this would heād be let in on any of this at all but shhh
so they donāt want to tell the villagers immediately bc itās so new. but phupha finds out that sheās not dead after all, so when the rangers ask to tell the villagers after a couple weeks have passed, phu says that thereās no rush. like sheās dead and that wonāt change lol ANYWAYS so they keep herĀ ādeathā a secret.
(side-note: one of the other things that majorly confuses me is the fact that, because phupha doesnāt tell the villagers about torfunās death, none of them are able to go to the funeral. and i think thats bullshit. they all love her and its so obvious, and they didnāt even get to mourn at her funeral? why?? because he didnt want to make them sad?? bye)
now this is my favourite part of this theory (aside from torfun being alive bless) because it affects so many aspects of what weāve seen on screen. any time torfun is mentioned, phupha becomes uncomfortable. because we as the audience believe her to be dead, we read his reactions as the grief at losing someone he cared for, on top of the secret heās keeping about the death.
but WHAT IF it isnāt grief, is instead the discomfort that comes with hiding a big secret that you donāt want others to know. they ask where torfun is and he acts totally unsubtle every time lmaoo. on the cliff, when he asks tianās relationship to torfun and why he has her badge, i can see that moment as phupha almost hoping that tian knows the truth, because that would mean he has someone he can confide in about all of it. so when tian says that he only found the badge in the cabin and doesnāt have a connection to torfun, phupha looks DISAPPOINTED. rewatch it and tell me he doesnāt look disappointed. he adjusts himself, accepting tianās explanation, but he wanted it to be something else. he asks tian again in ep7 about their connection andĀ āis there something you want to tell meā like bitch thats rich coming from u but he needs to sus out what tian knowsĀ before he can expose torfun ugh the drama
4. dr nam knows too.
i think phupha told at least nam about torfun escaping her life because nam usually refers to torfun in present tense and he mentions her so casually to tian and others considering sheās supposed to have been hit by an entire vehicle and dead ass. his behaviour in episode 7 really threw me off, but when i considered it in tandem with this theory, it made more sense.
he knows that torfunās ādeathā was paid off by teerayuth sophaditsakul, and once he finds out tianās surname is the same, he connects the dots that tian is actually related to him. with this information, nam is upset bc he knows the damage teerayuth caused and is afraid for phupha to get caught back up with that family, which is why he doesnāt talk first with tian. (he starts to, then stops. inchresting)
itās also interesting bc at the end when nam allegedly tells phu over walkie talkie, we donāt have audio there. we only can assume itās nam talking and exposing tian bc phuās face drops. if phupha knows torfun isnāt dead, yet the son of the man who paid her off supposedly has her heart..??? what the hell?? heād be mad confused! and imagine episode 8 when tian stands up and is like I KILLED HER. HER HEART IS IN ME. phuphaās gonna be like what in the GOD damn hell is happening here; bc last he knew torfun is alive, and tian is taking the blame for something that is in no way the truth.
look okay........this doesnāt make sense. it isnāt coherent and the holes are obvious. donāt bully me about it. all i can say is i want torfun to be alive so bad dhjkghglhdkgjd and it would solve literally every problem in the show esp phu and tianās relationship so i regret none of this PEACE
