WEDDING PLAN dir. neti suwanjinda

Man, oh man, idk why I wasn't expecting this to happen yet. Maybe after lom tells him the truth about the marriage, just a thought lol, but nuea is so already infatuated with lom he's already in deep with his feelings that he can't really just back out and cut him off when all he knows he's got a wedding to plan,tho he makes it very clear to lom about how this is not how u should be acting and even asked if it was arranged and he didn't tell him the truth 😔, but that aside their chemistry is 😙👌🏽 and I hope he tells nuea once and for all next week pls lom give that a break lol

everytime there’s a new episode of wedding plan i feel like i have to say this.

is what Lom did in not telling Nuea okay or right? no.

but everyone acts like it’s the easiest thing in the world for him to do? he didn’t tell anyone until he was on the brink of losing Nuea. He’s literally doing this entire thing for Yiwa, he’s doing all of this to help Yiwa escape her oppressive family and the more people that know about it, the more likely her family is to catch word and then she’s still trapped. He’s stuck between a wall and a hard place where he can tell others the wedding is fake and risk ruining the life of someone he looks at like a little sister or he can not tell others and hurt people he cares about. I think it’s pretty obvious that Lom’s family is extremely oppressive as well and expects him to marry a woman and give them grandchildren, this is the first time that we know of that Lom has gotten to love who he WANTS to love, not backed into a corner where he has to pretend to be the perfect son. He’s not going to act rationally.

Lom is a gay man who has been trapped in a box of expectations his whole life who gave up a large part of his life to protect Yiwa and has finally fallen in love and he’s not thinking. Is that selfish? yes. is it entirely understandable for someone in that situation to do? absolutely.

but now he really realizes that he’s hurt Nuea and he is trying SO hard to do everything right by him. he’s ready to entirely defy his family and cancel the wedding. he realizes he has hurt him and is doing everything he can to make up for it, even if Nuea doesn’t take him back, he at least wants to make things right.

Lom is a flawed character who is put in an impossible situation. He’s a trophy for his family with impossible expectations and a shield for Yiwa. He never gets to go out and find what he wants, so when he does he doesn’t think it through. Now he is. He’s trying so hard, now. Has he made a lot of mistakes? yes. is he trying to right those? absolutely.

quit acting like Lom is the villain when he’s been put in an impossible situation.

I defended Lom, but now I shall talk about Nuea

So...a lot of this is going to be a bit rant-y, because honestly there's some reactions that have been going on that really aggravate me. But I wanted to talk more about Nuea as a character in the show, and how I think he's being presented. You hear (for reasons unknown) a lot of discussion over how Lom is almost tricking Nuea by withholding the fact that his arrangement and marriage to Yiwa is in name only. I have so many problems with this read on the situation. While it is VERY common for BLs to use naivety as a trope, it's actually surprisingly rare to see from Mame. It's not one of her go-to's and so I was actually really surprised at how many people saw Nuea as 'innocent' (read virginal) or naive. We saw a similar reaction with Sky, this idea that he's an innocent little lamb, and I kind of figured that was because that's what Rain was. Rain was clearly modeled to be this sort of ingénue-style character, young, wide-eyed, innocent to an extent, but also experimental, not constrained by societal boundaries. But what the first encounter with Prapai showed was that he was not only not innocent, but experienced. Now granted many of his experiences were likely awful and traumatic, but Gun likely didn't got straight from 1 to 100, abusers rarely do, but there's also no clarity at all on whether Sky had any other intimate partners of his own choosing, whether a relationship or just another one-night stand. But circling back to my actual point, I think there are many viewers for which LITA was their first experience with Mame, and they believe Rain to be the blueprint for her 'bottoms' when in reality he's an outlier.

How this affects the perception of Nuea, is that since he is shown to be a fairly quiet, sensitive, kind person, some viewers began making assumptions. They assume that he's not physically experienced, that he's submissive, or even shy, and that's not really the case. We don't see much to indicate that at all in the show. He's very vocal for a lot of the show. He expresses his concerns to his boss freely, without concern for reprisal, and this certainly due at least in part to the type of boss she is, but even if she were some angry, obstinate crone, I doubt that would have stopped him. He's very vocal and honest in his conversations with Lom all through the series. He doesn't put up with any of Lom's rich/privileged BS. His kindness and empathy throughout is more a show of strength than anything. He's able to pretty easily get the results he wants without being rude, or mean. Even in his frustration with Lom, he's not vicious, but exasperated, reacting to Lom's childishness more like an exhausted nanny than anything else.

Nuea is confident, like really confident. He's confident in his abilities and skill at work. He's a confident gay man, he doesn't shy away from sex. His hesitation in regards to sleeping with Lom initially is based only on his knowledge of the likely fall-out (especially emotionally). Once we get to this most recent episode it's very clear that he has no hesitation in being an active and passionate partner.

I'm willing to bet after the absolute boss way that he shut down that shitty orchard customer, that we may see his confidence make an appearance next week in regards to Lom and Yiwa's mothers acting like petulant toddlers.

I think it's also important to remember that while he is younger than Lom (his actor is actually younger than ALL of the LITA boys), he's not actually all that young. While ages and timelines are pretty vague in the Mame-verse, Prapai should be about 30 in the Wedding Plan, and Lom is meant to have been his junior while they were getting their Masters, so he's probably 27-ish. Nuea, having attended university and worked as an event planner for several years is probably 25. He's not a child, and their age difference is practically negligible. Again, I feel this is an assumption based on the idea that LITA is the norm, when it's very much not. All of Mame's other main couples (in shows) have either been the same age, or with in a year or two of each other.

So while Lom may have some power/privilege over Nuea, it's very much situational and based on him being 'employed' by him, which is something that we as the audience know he could change if he really wanted to. We see that P'Im is more than willing to go to bat for her employees, Lom wouldn't be able to pull a Karen and get him fired, or forced to work with him. And while Lom is rich, Nuea's family has a generational business and owns a large amount of property. It's not the same level of rich by any means, Lom essentially has fuck you money, but it's still not like Nuea would be without resources and support if he chose to quit his job or leave Bangkok.

Also, the fact that he gets upset or cries over Lom, doesn't make him 'weak.' I've not heard anyone say that directly, but it's been implied. It's not weak for a man to be able to recognize and express his emotions. That's toxic masculinity bullshit, and we certainly don't want to be putting that pressure on characters that are actively defying it.

I guess in conclusion, my point is that Nuea is a bad-ass, the best kind of bad-ass even, one with a kind heart, and that he's more than capable of standing up for himself both in general and with Lom.

As a final note, what I realized watching episode 3 is that Lom 10000% has a competency kink, and further watching of the show only confirms that. He first encounters Nuea while he works at Pai's wedding and immediately begins lusting. The wedding suit try-ons where he looks at Nuea after learning he took pictures of each choice so that you don't have to try something on over and over again. He gets riled up watching him do the event where Payu proposes. He falls even harder watching Nuea put the creep in his place. Like...he just loves watching his man get shit done, and I respect (and understand) that.
