So i saw this on a fb post and I'd like to hear ur thoughts on this:

The real reason why Pi cannot accept the fact that he already love Mork Sutthaya.

(Base on novel)

"He always think that 𝙎u𝙩𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙮𝙖 is his love rival to Maung Nan, even he knows the truth that Satthaya and Nan are just friends —nothing more, nothing less."

"𝙎𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙮𝙖 is more smarter than him."

"𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘆𝗮 and Maung Nan are very close friends, that whatever happens and problem of Nan, Satthaya always there for him."

"Whenever Maung Nan goes, Satthaya always followed Nan. They even hang-out together. And he couldn't have a change to see or talk to Nan without seeing 𝙎𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙮𝙖."

"𝙎𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙮𝙖 always bugging him and annoying him. That's why Pi always irritated to Satthaya."

"𝙎𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙮𝙖 is good at any sports while Pi, who doesn't have sports or can play any sports."

"𝙎𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙮𝙖 is popular at there University, while Pi always think that he is a loser and no one wants to be friends with him."

"𝙎𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙮𝙖 is more rich and better than him/𝙋𝙞."

"𝙎𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙮𝙖 always asking him to be his friend, even a billions times he rejected it."

"𝙋𝙞 cannot accept the fact that 𝙎𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙮𝙖 likes him, while he was liking Maung Nan."

"𝙎𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙮𝙖 is too stubborn and asking him to something that he cannot give ( to be 𝙋𝙞'𝙨 boyfriend.)"

"𝙋𝙞 cannot accept the fact that he already falling inlove to Satthaya and Satthaya is the only person who makes his heart pound fast at every seconds."

"𝙋𝙞 always think that 𝙎𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙮𝙖 is too perfect to love him, a person like him who have a lot of flaws and imperfection."

In short Pi is not in denial he focused his to love l Mueang Nan because he cannot accept that fact that he was already falling inlove with 𝗦utthaya because a man like Sutthaya who is perfect doesn't deserve a loser like him.

So... I totally believe that's from the book.

If they're trying to show that in the show, I think they're doing a very, very poor job of it, honestly.

The biggest problem is that they're not giving Mork enough of a character outside of his obsession with Pi.

But, let me go through this on a more... point by point basis.

Very little wrong with the first three points, honestly. They're shown in the shown and I fairly well shown too. Now, I don't think they prove anything about Pi being in love with Mork instead of Nan... but they do happen. I'm not sure that Pi genuinely knew that Mork wasn't his rival because, frankly, I think Pi's self-esteem is so low that being only friends didn't matter in terms of rivalry. Pi's so used to be on his own that even a friendship seemed like rivalry.

Actually, I am okay with this list riiiight up the point where they go

"𝙎𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙮𝙖 always asking him to be his friend, even a billions times he rejected it."

This is the first line I'd like to genuinely argue with. Yes, Mork started to ask Pi to be his friend... but only an entire year into this crush. And he's repeatedly gone from 'we'll be friends' to 'I know you'll love me' in a heartbeat. If there was any evidence or any mention of Mork trying to befriend Pi steadily across all that time, I'd agree with this.

And, no, the secret anonymous texting friendship absolutely doesn't count and it's all hugely manipulative. I actually thought it was kind of cute at first, I'll admit that. Mork was showing Pi what having a friend could mean and was supporting him... but now all he's doing is trying to convince Pi to go for him instead of Nan. It's gone from a sweet way to support someone that otherwise doesn't like you to a cruel way to manipulate the trust of someone you supposedly love. Not a fan.

"𝙎𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙮𝙖 is too stubborn and asking him to something that he cannot give ( to be 𝙋𝙞'𝙨 boyfriend.)"

I wish he was just asking. My biggest problem with this is that Mork isn't asking. Mork is stating, Mork is repeatedly shoving this in Pi's face with as much force as possible, ignoring all of Pi's rejections and disagreements.

Look, it's one thing to make sure he knows you're not love rivals and to let him know that you want to court him.

It's another thing entire to keep doing that after he's said no to you directly and repeatedly.

"𝙋𝙞 always think that 𝙎𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙮𝙖 is too perfect to love him, a person like him who have a lot of flaws and imperfection."

I... cannot get behind the idea that Pi sees Mork as perfect, tbh. Though he definitely sees him as cool and popular, he also sees him as obnoxious and pushy and incapable of listening... all of which are true.

Now, some of that annoyance might come from the idea that Mork is constantly pushing his perfection. But I think most of it comes from the fact that Mork won't give Pi any space to breath or any space to think at all.

The first time that Pi entertains the idea that he could be interested in Mork is when Mork backed the fuck off and was more his friend than his 'constantly pressuring love interest'.

I'm going to be clear that I am not saying that Pi isn't in love with Mork. He is, it's obviously the narrative of the show.

What I'm saying is that his love would be a lot easier if people would try respecting his emotional autonomy rather than pushing him to admit feelings he's not sure about yet. He wouldn't be as stubborn or as insecure if people would just actually try supporting him!

If Mork had acted the way he did in the beginning of episode 7 the rest of the time, the flirting but mostly building up a base of friendship, I would be much more down. But it's just... it's not that. It's constant pressure and it's constant ignoring his protests and it's constant next step next step next step.

Mork never lets Pi sit for a moment and just... be friends. Just spend time together. The most they've been friends for is a day. Imagine the level of pressure that Pi feels whenever Mork starts shoving his feelings at him again and again. Especially for someone who has trust issues to begin with!

The last time Pi had friends, they were lying to his face and laughing at him behind his back. What has Mork done to show that he's any better? Every time Pi starts to think they might be friends, Mork goes straight past all his boundaries and shoves himself in.

I just... look. I will watch this show. I will keep hoping it gets better.

But to get better, Mork needs some actual character that isn't just him liking Pi for unknown reasons that he won't tell Pi about because... actually, hey, anyone got any explanation for that? He made Pi trying to explain his crush on Mueng Nan. So why doesn't Mork explain his crush on Pi? Answers in replies or reblogs or DM or... whatever, yo. I'd like to know.
