Ramblings on BMS Ep. 11
I know the conflict seems nonsensical, but it tracks ... at least to me. Punn has always put Ashi on a pedestal. That did not change during their relationship. You can especially see this in the way he carries himself around Ashi. He always looks small even though he's physically bigger.
Aside: Ja's acting in this role reminded me of an excellent post that @absolutebl wrote about how Saint Suppapong uses his entire body to portray the feelings and emotions of each character he plays as seen in the differences between Pete (Love by Chance) and Tutor (Why R U). In my opinion, Ja does the same thing here and can be added to the list of actors who use their physicality to bring characters to life.
The one time I recall a change in Punn's demeanor was during their last night together before Ashi went to Japan.
After Ashi apologizes for many things including making Punn cry (which he faked btw #actor4actor) and reassures Punn that he will never lose him, Punn's eyes change. His posture is solid and steadfast and his presence feels more substantial. The sudden change was preceded by this dialogue, which in retrospect sheds some light on the cause of their breakup:
For a moment, Punn believed that this was real. That he was worthy the great Ashi because never in his wildest dreams did he ever think that his idol could love him.
So when Title shows him Ashi's notes, they just confirm what he's always thought: he and Ashi couldn't possibly be together. They're from two different worlds so how could their love possibly be real.
And when Title asks, "Has Ashi ever told you that he loves you?", it is not meant to be taken as a stand alone question because we know that he has. There is a second implicit question: If Ashi has told you that he loves you, do you believe him after what you've just seen?
