#I'm glad Sarut wasn't this vilain we thought he would be

Random thoughts about City of Stars episode 10:

▪️ I still love Fueang and Krom's relationship. It's the healthiest relationship I've seen. They always communicate and they never lie or avoid talking about things that could lead to misunderstanding. Krom is trying is best to support Fueang's decision to tell the press about his sexual orientation and his story with his ex before everything escalates. I appreciate that he tried to smooth his mother so she would support Fueang when he needed her. He did it without telling Fueang, but he was quick to admit it and everything got better. They are in love and I want to protect them so they can love each other freely.

▪️ As for Fueang I found him really brave to tell his secret knowing it would have an impact on his career. In the end, he stayed true to himself. He was really calm and avoided any traps some journalists tried to create. Of course, he was stressed and it was sad to see him not being his cheerful normal persona. At least, he has all the support from his family, friends and coworkers. However, it must be complicated to deal with the aftermath of his press conference as he is losing job opportunities.

▪️ Kor was the best friend everyone wished to have. He always adds a bit of comedy but when it's needed he can be serious and defend his loved ones. He said something that I found very interesting and that would work for everyone not just Thai people:

It's very sad how people still misunderstand a character's personal life with the actor's personal life. They are not the same. Acting is a job/art and it has nothing to do with who you are as a person. As always, this series never shies away from telling hard truths.

▪️ Fueang's mom also said something important when she talked with Krom:

And Krom agreed. They are right. We have no say in celebrities' personal lives. They can love whoever they want. Everyone deserves to love and be loved. Love is love. If you support an artist you don't care about who they love.

▪️ I'm so glad we saw Namsom again (Rock is so beautiful, I can't). I really appreciate this character and the friendship she shares with Fueang. She is so afraid of what could happen if she goes back with Kor. The press must have been terrible to them. It's a pity because they also didn't deserve to have their life questioned just because some people think it's not "normal". By the end of the series, I hope Kor and Namsom can be together again. Fueang was right, things are easier when you have someone who loves you (it doesn't have to be a lover, it can be family or friends.).

▪️ However Fueang and Krom are still not off the hook as Krom got a call from his work. He must go back to the States. Will they be able to survive long distance relationship hardships? I don't want them to break up in the infamous 11 episodes. We don't need this. This series has avoided the usual cliché in their relationship so I hope it will stay this way.

As always I had a really great time watching this series. 😍
