I’m not from thailand but there is a very similar capitalist ruling class vibe in my country that I’m picking up in these Thai BL shows and I’m tangentially but closely related to this class and all I can say is…Ming is really not that bad.
These rich boy with hearts of gold/ rich boy finds heart of gold through interaction with poor boyfriend dramas I think has skewed the way that we view rich people. As in we think of them as people that operate on a general set of values and principles that we all hold. But the casual way that Ming imprisons Joe and thinks nothing of how he’s ruining the biggest opportunity Joe’s had in his career just because he can buy him a better, more lavish life is almost painfully realistic. And no it does not at all contradict with the fact that he loves Joe. And I think the way Up plays Ming with this careful mix of being totally self unaware, even innocent at times but with absolute entitlement in every thing he does, even at his most kindest is just so chillingly revealing of the ruling class psyche.
So many people are horrified by what Ming is doing and while I’m not saying that they aren’t horrific (they are) - it’s just that if you actually know a Ming you’d know that playing with poor people’s lives is like a Tuesday morning activity for him.

waaah saint!!!🫶🏻 so so for character asks, i’m going for ayli!gojo 😗 (i can’t move on from him still😭)
“how do you feel now that the empress is dead, huh?! if you were granted a second chance, what would you do to prevent it from happening?!”
AYLI!Satoru: What power have I, to receive a second chance at this life after everything I have done? I am burdened by grief and regret. I have wasted not only the best empress to ever grace this empire, but also the woman I had married and the mother of my unborn heir.
If she were alive, I would seek to cherish and protect her, and do everything in my power to prevent such a tragedy from occurring again. It would be in my best interest to only trust her and her alone, and never the noblemen that conspired to topple her from her rightful throne.
However, as she is no longer here with me, I shall suffer the indignity of being the most miserable emperor in history.

whenever you guys doubt the writers i try to think of a single time where this show has disappointed me in the big picture when it comes to large (completed) arcs (and not including outside forces) and i. literally can’t think of a single one. the end result is always delicious. yall are just impatient methinks.

is/at being all i can think about is difficult because i am fundamentally very chatty. every piece of art i have ever seen or read i have a thousand thoughts about it good and bad i’ll talk your ear off. and i sit here and it’s all i can think about. but i have no thoughts to wrangle about it. and this is the biggest compliment i think; it literally left me completely speechless. it’s been months for me to process it and still if i want to talk about it it’s like “agghhhh” is all i can say. it’s so self-contained and like. literally all i can say is that im speechless.
