Your Sky | Muenfah & Teerak | Episode 12

[mamuljjukrapao]

I am still not done reading the novel but from what I've read so far, the writer did a really good job with the duality and character development of Muenfah and Teerak. I'm happy that they kept that part of Teerak in the series.

Something I love about Your Sky is that it not only showed that Teerak had sexual desire, but it showed him in control of that desire. Your Sky could have very easily gone with the blushing maiden trope for him but they didn't. Teerak was into Muenfah sexually and romantically and while he wasn't ready right away, he didn't shy away from that desire. Muenfah wasn't alone in wanting and craving physical intimacy and I appreciate the hell out of Your Sky for letting both characters want each other.

Leaving this here instead of my reblog account so I can look back at it and learn :)

I'm late to the party but let's take a quick look at the side couples and then focus on the superb family drama of this episode!

Disclaimer: not a native Thai speaker, still learning 🙏

RealHia

In their 1-minute-faendom, Real keeps calling him บี๋ /bee/ (shortened from เบบี๋ /baby/) <3

This one from the mall scene didn't make it into the subs cause it's kinda hard to convey without a translator's note but- when Hia gets (cutely) mad, Real switches to polite register hehe:

- Real: อยากไปไหนค้าบ /yaak bpai nai khaap?/ = Where would you like to go? - Hia: กู หิว /guu. hiu!/ = I'm. Hungry! - Real: มึงพึ่งกินไปเอง /meung pheung gin bpai eng/ = Ya just ate! - Hia: 😠 - Real: ...นายพึ่งทานไปครับ /naai pheung thaan bpai khrap/ = ...You only just had a meal.

LeeGhlai

They already speak really sweetly with each other (especially compared to how Lee speaks to his friends lol): Lee either calls himself by name or uses เรา /rao/ (=I; polite) while calling Ghlai by his name, often with a คุณ /khun/ in front of it, too. :) Ghlai also uses เรา /rao/ and calls Lee by his name. And both of them use the occasional sweet polite ครับ /khrap/ (=typically-masculine polite ending particle):

Lee: เก่งครับ /geng khrap/

But the "Let me give you a ride, please" scene? 😵‍💫 Lee came right in with the steel chair:

Lee: น้าา นะค้าาา นะ นะคะ /naaa~ na khaaaa? na? na kha?/ -> คะ /kha/ = typically-feminine polite ending particle, can sound really flirty-sweet when used by a guy this way

The pleading alone woulda had me swooning but the sweet คะ /kha/'s?? 🫠

FahRak & the Niran family

I'm pretty sure I don't remember this scene being in the tv version but I adore ปู่ /bpuu/ (=paternal grandfather) and Fah's conversation 🥹

- Grandpa: การที่จะชนะไม่ใช่เรื่องง่ายน่ะ /gaan thee ja cha-na mai chai reuang ngaai na/ = To win is not an easy feat. - Fah: ผมรู้ครับ ผมจะไม่ยอมแพ้ /pom ruu khrap. pom ja mai yaawm phaae/ = I know. I will not give up. - Grandpa: แสดงว่าเราเป็นคนที่ไม่กลัวแพ้ /sa-daeng waa rao bpen khohn thee mai gluaa phae/ = That means you're someone who's not afraid of losing. - Fah: ผมจะสู้จนก็��มจะชนะครับ /pom ja suu jon gaaw pom ja cha-na khrap/ = I will fight until I win. - Grandpa: ถ้าเป็นความสุขของที่รักอ่ะ ปู่เห็นด้วยนะ /thaa bpen khwaam-sook khaawng Teerak a, bpuu hen duuay na/ = If it's Teerak's happiness, then I agree.

Rak and Mom- When I first saw this live on tv, I felt so afraid when she started crying. But it became obvious so quickly that she felt awful and guilty for causing her son any pain and worry, even unintentionally 🥺 She never changes the way she speaks to him, not the pronouns she uses (แม่ /mae/ (=mom, used as I) and ลูก /luuk/ (=child, son/daughter, used as You)) nor her sweet tone. Her unwavering warmth is her defining feature and I love her for it.

Just the image of tol bean Teerak in his sister and mother's embrace had me bawling!

I love how Mom and Babe both scoop the rice for their partners so when Fah does the same for Rak, complete with a sweet-

พอไหมครับ /phaaw mai khrap?/

-we of course get a reaction shot of Dad going 🤨🏳‍🌈? while everyone else is already in the know and awkwardly trying to keep the festive mood up but also trying to gauge Dad's reaction. The entire birthday sequence was a lot more condensed in the tv version so to see all of this tension in the uncut version... 🫠 Incredible work!

Sidenote: Grandpa's so adorable calling Rak เจ้าลูกหมา /jao luuk maa/ = puppy, but even more affectionate bc of the added เจ้า /jao/ :)

Mom and Grandpa are friendly and warm with Fah, calling themselves ปู่ /bpuu/ and แม่ /mae/ not just with their kids but with him as well! ...in contrast to when Dad loses it and demands Fah leave:

Dad: คุณออกไปจากบ้านผมเลย /khun aawk bpai jaak baan pom loei/ = You get out of my house!

The scene inside the house right after is what truly broke me :< It takes Grandpa (the ผู้ใหญ่ /phuu yai/ (=elder) and Dad's own father!) saying something for Dad to finally let go of Rak. And then the way Dad speaks to Rak! It really shocked me with how harshly he spoke and how furious he got. He raises his voice and his choice of pronouns drastically changes all the way from loving to livid:

ฟังพ่อนะ /fang por na/ + he still calls Rak ลูก /luuk/

Rak doesn't back down though and so ลูก /luuk/ becomes แก /gae/...

- Rak: รักรักพี่ฟ้า /Rak rak P'Fah/ - Dad: แกมันเด็กเกิน[...] /gae man dek geern/ = You're too young [...]

...and Fah he suddenly calls มัน /man/. But Rak surprisingly talks back:

- Dad: ไปเลิกกับมัน /bpai leerk gap man/ - Rak: ต้องเลิกเลยอ่อ [...] /dtaawng leerk loei aw/ (it's giving Oh do I now? 🫠)

So then Dad explodes, using rude กู /guu/ (=I) all of a sudden, and I appreciate that the subs tried to convey that via cussing:

ฟัง กูบอกให้ไปเลิกกับมัน ไปเลิกกับมัน อย่าให้กูต้องพูดอีก /fang! guu baawk hai bpai leerk gap man! bpai leerk gap man! yaa hai guu dtaawng phuut eek/ = Listen! I told you to break up with him! Break up with him! Don't make me repeat myself!

Everyone is shocked, Mom and Babe are tightly holding onto each other, Rak walks away wordlessly, Mom even raises her voice at Dad when he keeps yelling at Rak. They're all aware that he needs to calm THE FUCK down before anyone attempts to talk again.

The following scene of Rak and Babe talking also wasn't in the tv version, afair, I really wish this line at least had made it in though:

พ่อก็ดูซีรีส์วาย แต่ทำไมเพราะเป็นรัก... /por gaw duu series y. dtaae tham mai phraw bpen Rak.../ = Dad even watched a BL series. So how come once it's me...

More sidenotes:

the fact that Rak fell asleep all cried out in his sister's bed and she texted Fah to let him know the baby's okay 🥺❤

I love how family focused this episode is, it feels realistic in the way everyone is just waiting for Dad to get over himself and come around while they're all standing behind Rak already.

FahRak soft soft soft interlude

Thomas' soft tone as Fah when speaking to Rak already always has me 🥺 but especially when he asks Rak:

ที่รักอยากเลิกกับพี่มั้ย /Teerak yaak leerk gap phi mai/

...after we just saw him quietly crying by himself? 😞

พี่ก็รักที่รักของพี่เหมือนกัน /phi gaw rak Theerak khaawng phi meuuan gan/ 😭😭😭 perfect subs, no notes, only happy tears

/ FahRak soft soft soft interlude

Another scene not in the tv version, dinner! Oh, the irony of Dad telling Rak-

อย่าทำตัวเป็นเด็กเอาแต่ใจ /yaa tham dtuua bpen dek ao dtae jai/ = Don't act like a spoiled child.

-when he's the one unwilling to talk to Rak about Fah! Grandpa even tells his own son off but ultimately none of them are arguing or talking back, they know he's stubborn and will ultimately come around.

Even more sidenotes:

the amount of times I've already said หนู /noo/ 🥺 at my screen because of Teerak's sad little face!

seeing the Klimt exhibition poster on the show on Sunday evening made me remember that I'd read about it and so I went to see it the very next day xD

I appreciate that Grandpa reminds his son about what matters as a father and that Mom got Dad to admit that he's driven by fear for Rak's future - this scene and the entire episode really are played with so much empathy, just like Mom said:

เรื่องเนี้ย ไม่มีใครผิดใครถูกทั้งนั้น /reuuang niia, mai mee khrai phit khrai thuuk thang nan/ = About this, no one at all is wrong or right.

It's the fact that Rak from the beginning of the show would not have been brave enough to stand up to his dad about his relationship! Rak already was kind and sweet but Fah made him grow as a person 🥹 I appreciate that he gets to tell his dad, too, how much Fah has changed him and made him happier!

And then Dad not only apologizes for his behavior but we come full circle by Dad finally giving Rak the kiss on the head he's been asking for since episode 1:

พ่อหอมหัวรักแล้ว /por haawm huaa Rak laeeo/ HE DID HONEY HE DID 😭❤️

And I almost broke into tears yet again when I saw Kru Kla confirm my reading of it, in the bts on iQIYI:

[wanderlust-in-my-soul]

It doesn't seem like we're in love. You're right. Or... Should we get closer?

I really thought Your Sky was going to be a sweet, silly little show. Honestly, I never expect much in the plot department when it comes to Domundi shows. They know how to cook in the chemistry department, and they lean heavily into how fire their pairings are to carry bad scripts. It's FINE. I'm always going to watch their stuff because FIRE CHEMISTRY.

So, color me surprised that Your Sky is actually saying something to me. I'm not even sure if it's intentional, but this show has really shone a light on the way women are often backed into corners via the pressure society places on us to be kind and considerate, often to the detriment of our autonomy.

And the most brilliant part is they're using a man to show this. It's only episode 4, and we've gotten so many examples of behavior that women can deeply relate to.

- being placed in a situation where your options are to publicly embarrass, humiliate, or hurt someone OR agree to something you don't want to do

The lesson being, you should NOT have an audience for confessions, proposals, or asking someone out. It doesn't have anything to do with anyone else. Leave other people out of it. Teerak has had this happen twice now - with Oh's friends around to pile on in his pursuit of Teerak and with his ex-girlfriend's birthday confession. It was nice to see the ex acknowledge that she was actually the cause of that outcome by putting Rak in an uncomfortable position.

- having your own autonomy and desires mean nothing to a man pursuing you until you involve another man.

Teerak's physical cues should have been enough to tell Oh that he's making Teerak uncomfortable, but Oh doesn't see Teerak as a person. He's a possession, and possessions don't have autonomy. They have owners. And that's why he's suddenly in vengeful pursuit. He was never going to take no for an answer, but now that Fah showed up, the thing he wants has an owner, and it's not him. He can't stand it. How many women do you know who wear a fake engagement ring or use the "i have a boyfriend " excuse to get out of unwanted pursuits? Men don't respect women because to a lot of them, women are possessions. They respect women's owners. 🙂

Fah, on the other hand, is the standard. When he put Teerak in an uncomfortable position by saying he was his boyfriend, he apologized and then asked Rak how he wanted to move forward. He let Rak take the lead and does his best to give him the space to make comfortable decisions for himself. He LISTENS. He sees Teerak as a person and treats him with all the respect Teerak deserves.

I don't know! I'm just loving this little show. It's sweet and heartwarming, but it's also got some things to SAY.

Has there ever been a Domundi 'ship that couldn't kiss? Because whatever workshopping they're doing is seriously better than almost all of the competition. (As much as I love many of the GMMTV boys, some of them could use some workshopping. I wish Pond and Phuwin would do a Ninew Pinya workshop tbh because he gets the flipping best results. I can't WAIT to see what Ninew does as a solo director, and I'm so glad GMMTV hired him. [He's doing Only Friends 2 sans Jojo!])

Anyway, this post brought to you by Thomas and Kong doing a lovely job with their kiss scene in yesterday's Your Sky episode.
