THAMEPO | EP11

[pigglepiephi]

Unpopular opinion but…

I find CEO Pemika a really satisfying antagonist in this story.

Bottom line she’s here to make sure her assets (MARS, Thame, Ice etc.) make her company some serious money, and right now she’s trying to mitigate the major risks that Thame & Po’s relationship is posing to all of this.

She’s not in this story being ‘evil’ just for the sake of the plot. She’s a realistic, well written character whose manipulations are true to what you would expect from a ruthless CEO of a major company like Oner.

We can despise her (and I do!) for her actions against many of the characters in this show, but for me she’s an excellent villain because her motivations ALL MAKE SENSE!

Pemika you really are enjoyable to hate, and I hope you stay true to your character until the end!

This Week in The TCW

Feb 9th - Feb 15th

This week, the same top was worn in two different shows and in two different countries!

Feb 9th - Sangmin Dinneaw

We start this week with the first of two appearances of this knitted stripy polo shirt. Tor had already worn the beige version in ep 2 of Sangmin Dinneaw and this week in ep 7 he wore the blue. As I've mentioned before, the shirt also comes in a jersey fabric in cream with green and black stripes, and collectively the three versions have been worn in eleven different series now both in Thailand and Taiwan. (Also pictured, the cream version from Our Skyy 2 x The Eclipse).

Feb 12th - The Heart Killers

In the final ep of The Heart Killers, Kant wore this red fitted top which looks remarkably similar to several other colour versions from a variety of shows. There were grey versions in Enchante and Vice Versa, a cream one also in Vice Versa, a white one in Middleman's Love, and dark blue one in Bake Me Please.

Feb 14th - ThamePo

I knew this yellow shirt from Only Boo would make an appearance in ThamePo and it now means that all 5 main characters (six if you include Ice) have worn some item of shared clothing.

Feb 14th - Exclusive Love

And here comes the second appearance this week of the knitted stripy polo shirt, and this time it's the beige version in ep 1 of Exclusive Love. It's not the first time it's been used in a Taiwanese show - it was also worn in The On1y One - so I wonder if these two series share the same costume designer. (With thanks to @hughungrybear for the heads-up).

Historical Discoveries

A few weeks back, when ep 7 of ThamePo aired (Jan 24 2025), I thought Nano's yellow shirt looked familiar but concluded it was only because it looked similar to some other shirts. It wasn't until this week, when I had another look through Only Boo that I realised Moo had already worn it. I think both are yellow but the lighting in Only Boo has washed out the colour.

These poor sad babies who are so heartbroken and so desperate to reform this group and being forced to give up on love because they don't have another future and because it's terrifying to face fans who will ruin their lives just for loving each other.

Parasocial relationship with idols are toxic and terrifying.

They ruin lives and relationships and people.

And the audience cheered for his broken heart because they loved the idea of him more than the actual him and all his friends are with him and they understand in a way that none of the fans will even if the fans believe they do.

(the worst part is that all the fans think like Fern did, they truly think that him loving another person is enough to ruin their love of the group and him and they claim to love him all the same but that's not love.)

Are you staying here for good? I want to, honestly. It's time for me to leave. I'll get going.
