#gmmtv can stop trying to tell class disparity stories unless they're going to hire some creators who are not from the wealth class

A quick summary of how the class disparity themes in Peaceful Property ultimately landed in the finale:
We got confirmation that Grandpa was a great guy who built a giant real estate empire purely through grit and hard work and never did anything wrong in his life
Any harm that came to people and communities because of the company was indeed the result of Home’s uniquely evil aunt and uncle who acted without his or his grandpa’s knowledge
The plot culminated in a poor character once again sacrificing himself to save the rich kid
As expected, Peach gave up his dream job to stay for Home even though there was no logical reason they couldn’t do their project in Chiang Mai (he has never been able to hear the ghosts so that attempt to say it was because of dialects was extra sloppy)
Instead of actually training properly as a chef again like Peach wanted, he had a chefs table he has in no way earned handed to him by his rich friend, ultimately ending the show with a message that capitalism is benevolent and is what made their happy ending possible
Speaking of, the only happy ending Kan and Suradech got was the honor of continuing to be Home’s employees. That Home did not even do anything for Kan’s community after everything she suffered is definitely one of the biggest WTFs in this show.
And on that note--Home got a huge inheritance and appears to have used zero of it to address the harm his family did
The only thing I have to say about it at this point is:
#gmmtv can stop trying to tell class disparity stories unless they're going to hire some creators who are not from the wealth class#i have never been as moved by the relationships in this show as others were so i don't really have anything to say about that#but i'm glad taynew got cmt this year to balance this#peaceful property#thai drama#shan shouts into the void
