I imagine that in the modern era, the palace has a PR department. The PR manager/representative has an alert out for all of Anin’s posts. I can just see the PR guy sitting in his office and going “Goddamnit her serene highness has posted about her wife again” for the third time that week and then yells at his assistant to moderate the comments on her post because her followers go wild.

I imagine he has many contingency plans for every time Anin posts. She’s a PR menace.

If TLP was set in modern times Anil would be on social media posting shit like "✨ secret princess diet reveal! ✨ ~what I eat in a day to stay fit 💪🤩"

And then it'd just be a picture of Pin

Music in The Loyal Pin, Episode 16

Once upon a time, I started out writing about the music of The Loyal Pin. I had planned to make my posts a weekly thing but had to give up after episode 5 because I realised that time is a finite ressource. Meh. Still, one last time, though, I want to sing the praises of the piece of art that is The Loyal Pin. What a show!

I try to keep it short and simple, but, uh, well, that's not my strongest suit. I want to talk about the three pieces of music that have stood out to me the most.

Theme 1 - Pentatonic

The first piece I want to talk about appeared in my very first post about the series, and it was also the first recording I ever did. We hear it in episode 1 when Anil jumps/falls from the tree and lands on Pin. It is also what starts of the first intro song.

In episode 16, the theme accompanies what has to be Anil's most epic speech (which is saying a lot) about the future of love and marriage. According to the tone of the speech, underneath the piano there are now strings playing different harmonies to the ever repeating theme. This is a clip from the actual show because how do you ever imitate something like this?

I still can't believe this innocent theme from episode is now making my throat hurt. The strings! The harmonies! My little heart.

Theme 2 - Pin's heavy heart

Conveniently, the second piece I want to talk about is one that I mentioned in the second post I've ever written about the show. It's also my favourite piece of the whole series. I think there is not one episode where it is not featured and there are many different versions of it. In the early episodes, it is a wistful melody that often accompanies scenes in which Pin is sad.

In episode 16, when Patt asks Anil to take care of Pin for her, we hear a sweet, cheerful version of the theme. Yet another cheerful version sounds when we learn that Lady Ueang has refused to marry the man her mother has intended for her.

Theme 3 - Helpless

There is also one theme that hasn't changed at all. I have written about this piece in my post about episode 5. It accompanies scenes in which our princesses (again, Pin: princess of my heart) experience emotions they don't know how to deal with. The thought of your favourite person going to England. Losing your parents when you are very young. Fleeing from your princess because her kissing lessons make you feel too many things at once. Accepting that you have been hit by the unstoppable force.

In episode 16, we can hear the theme in three instances: First, Patt apologises to Pin and they reconcile. Second, Pin faces the anger of Anil's father and falls into her Anil's arms after the confrontation. Lastly, Anil opens her birthday present from Pin and freezes when she realises that it is a ring box. Aaaaand I am tearing up again. This show, y'all. This music.

My goodness, there is so much more to say. But I think I will leave it at that. Maybe one day, when I am an old woman studying music again, I will be able to dedicate this music the time it deserves. I have never been able to find out who composed the music (there are several people listed), but whoever they are, they did one hell of a job!

Thank you, dear friend, for taking this journey with me. If you're a fan of Thai gl, I think we'll meet again soon. In any case: Stay safe and listen to music.

i know people are allowed their opinions — it just seems a bit much to throw away the whole show? while there was parts of the finale i didn’t enjoy, overall, i liked it & anilpin had a happy ending with their loved ones. the entires series is relatively excellent minus a few issues aside

I agree with you, anon! Though personally I loved the finale! Aside from the "prank" and a few - but only a few! - little nitpicks, it was everything and more I could have asked for. It made the whole show pay off, and set it up so perfectly to keep Anil and Pin and their story moving forward even if the story for us ended. An amazing finale for an equally amazing show that continues to blow me away as I think back on it.

I won't speak much on throwing the whole show away for one scene or a finale not going the way someone wanted it to aside from to say that is not my takeaway and I'm sorry some people feel that way, but, like you said, people are allowed their own opinions. I had two-three weeks to work through my feelings, so maybe it will smooth with time. I hope so, because The Loyal Pin is an amazing, outstanding show, and I would wish people get to keep all the enjoyment and happiness they got from it initially.

But that is just my personal take. :)

The Loyal Pin will forever be one of my favorite shows, and I'm so happy that not only does it exist in the first place, but that Anil and Pin and their loved ones get to continue living their well deserved happily ever afters for the rest of their days!

Just look at themmmmmmm. How am I supposed to say goodbye???
