I don't normally post about actor ships because it can be invasive and assumptive. But this is a little different. It's with all the actors and they are having fun joking around with eachother.
so anyway, Love Sea? let's discuss.
firstly, i realise i was in thailand when it dropped so never got to give the announcement the excitement post it deserves, and secondly-when i tell you the amount of feral i will go the moment this show drops!!!!
what do we know so far about the show?
FIRST TIME EVER MAME HAS RE-USED HER LEAD ACTORS!!! (fucking proud mama over here!)
1.) it's more mature than love in the air (thank the fucking bl gods) and much more challenging than LITA.
2.) there will be nc scenes (🙏🏻🙏🏻 ofc there is, it's a MAME show!!) that are, according to fort, STEAMIER than LITA. (jesus god, someone hold me, i don't think i'm ready)
3.) it's set on the beach. (hello cinematography!!!- lets pray the sound team have a bigger budget on this one otherwise god forbid we hear anything over the sound of waves)
4.) peat's character tongrak is a beautiful, rich, best-selling romance novelist looking for inspiration on his newest book (i'm already in love with this for peat!!), he has a partner in his past he doesn't like to talk about for unknown reasons and is afraid of loneliness.
5.) fort's character mahasamut is a local tour guide who is popular amongst the tourists and has his own company(?) he doesn't have a great relationship with his dad, left home because of a quarrel and now lives independantly and ambitiously. he can speak english well (fort's english is the cutest so i'm fucking excited to hear him speak it in the show!!) and has a diving certifcate and is good at fighting(?)
6.) if the poster is to be believed the fortpeat dynamic might be switching- peatfort?!? (blessed, we're being blessed with diversity) because it sounds like tongrak is the one pursuing mahasamut(?)
7.) potentially a sugar baby/daddy scenario? (i don't know where i heard this, but for real i am so down if it's true)
8.) I'm gonna be fucking insufferable when it comes out. Trailer when, memindy? I'm ready now.
Are FortPeat independent artists or are they, like, contractually obligated to only be in MAME things? I don’t know anything about the business details of their business, and I’m hoping they’re not subject to the whims of one studio/agency/etc.
This episode was so hard for me. As someone who has experienced sexual assault in a relationship, it really hit home. I had to pause, take a break, and come back a few times. I feel so bad for Sky. I could feel his pain. Certain triggers such as words - phrases, a situation or place, even a touch and you are reliving those moments. And like shown it isn't only for the moment, but for days or even weeks, that the thoughts creep back in and drown you. And nights are always the worst. The time when you are most vulnerable, alone, and in the dark. The pain and trauma of this episode is so real. Sexual trauma in a relationship is real, and happens more than I think society likes to talk about. You can be raped and sexually assaulted by a partner - someone you love and trust. What is shown in the episode is so real and I applaud them for showing it correctly. Being able to love, trust, and give your heart away again is so incredibly hard. You don't want to let anyone in ever again. And you can see that through Skys actions and thoughts. He wants to so badly believe that Prapai is good, kind and genuine, but the trauma stops him from taking the chance, because he doesn't want to go through it all again. Sky is such a brave and strong character that I know he can get through this, but seeing the heartache and pain he is going through is so relatable and at times overwhelming. Let's remember that not everyone ends up with or has someone like Prapai in their lives after trauma like this. Sky is very fortunate, although he might not think so right away, to have him in his life. And I know once Prapai finds out his past, he will be even more of a protector for Sky.
