#tanthai

[lovesickfolly]

Take two rich, overconfident, broken men with huge traumas.

And add two poor, powerless people who care about them and want better for and from them.

I think this parallel in the main two relationships is what I adore about this show so much, because it's the same story being told in incredibly similar yet wildly different ways. Because while Charn and Tinn at least have some agency and control over their lives, both Thaenthai and Thee are stuck and can't do a thing to change their situation (yet). Charn and Tinn are choosing to play this game for fun/power/(whatever Charn claims it to be) (on Charn's end) and justice (Tinn's), whereas Thaenthai and Thee are forced to play it (for the other) to survive.

Ray 🤝 Tanthai

Poor little rich boys who like partying and getting drinking despite having alarmingly low tolerances so that they could become 'burdens' for their cute caregivers

Sand 🤝 Tee

Ends up caring too much for their drunk-off-their-cute-asses poor little rich boys despite trying not to give a shit and knowing they deserve it

5 reasons to watch Laws of Attraction

Charn:

Evil, but only because of his Dark Backstory.

Fake-smiles creepily all the time except sometimes his opponents catch him off guard and he can't quite maintain it, and other times his crush does something and he smiles genuinely and it is so. good. every time.

Will burn down your house, but means well

Don't call him 'uncle'

Grandma:

Knows what her grandson likes

Is kind to neighborhood dogs

Ride-or-die for Charn even though he almost killed her a little

Tinn:

Good uncle

Has morals. Too many?

Definitely does not like the evil lawyer who has forced his way into Tinn's life

But he's still not going to share

Tanthai:

Cannot hold his liquor

Good shirts

I don't like him yet, but I'm willing to see him redeemed

Thee:

Always looks simultaneously disappointed with and in love with Tanthai

Stands outside his charge's window like fucking Romeo waiting for the lights to come on

Knows Something

Bonus:

THEM

No rationale needed

The evolution of Tanthai's head on Thee's shoulder.

So they grew up together, they were childhood friends.

Do you think Tanthai used to come to Thee every time he had a scrap, every time he got scolded by his father? Was Thee, a little older, maybe just a little more serious, always there to wipe his tears and put a band-aid on his knee, to take his hand and run away with him to hide and play in the garden until his father calmed down? (Do you think the gardener knowingly kept silent about the mess they made in the flower beds when they played ball, indulgent ?)

Do you think that's why, despite Thee's current silence and inaction, despite how he accuses him of only staying by his side for money, Tanthai still seems to trust him? Why he keeps turning to him, keeps asking him again and again and again to please take him away from here? - like Thee is the only who could.

They were friends, and now Thee looks like he can't even touch him, taking a step back when Tanthai moves like he's going to reach for him. What happened since that picture? Did Thee grew up, a little faster than Tanthai, realizing that what he felt was changing? That the way they were with each other would start to attract disapproving looks and comments? Did he add this to the awareness of his situation regarding the Senator's family, of propriety and what was acceptable, and realize that this could not happen? That he had to distance himself (as much as he could, because despite it all he knew he couldn't go away)?

Did Senator Thatthep notice the comfort his son found in Thee, the closeness between them that was becoming more than the friendship of young boys? Did he take Thee aside, did he leverage the debt Thee feels he has toward him, did he threaten to send him away from Tanthai? What did Thee have to promise to be able to stay by his side? (would he have promised anything to not have to live with the emptiness in his chest when he thinks of not being around Tanthai?) Always be professional, follow Thatthep's order, never, ever forget your place and think you can even pretend to be anything more than a loyal bodyguard to Tanthai. Come back to him ready to protect him with your life but never showing him any form of tenderness, of kindness that could be seen as inappropriate. And so Thee did as he was told and kept his distance.

(Is that why when Thee finally reaches for him, his hand a gesture of quiet worry, Tanthai breathes again?)

Is that what Thee remembers, when he looks at the photo of them as children? All he has given up to be with Tanthai, in that shadow of a relationship, only to see him miserable, suffering, and hating himself. Is that what will finally make him decide that just being there isn't enough? That he has to give Tanthai more than mere presence if he wants them to make it through it?

Well, I sure hope so. For both their sake at this point.

#yes i am clowning wildly about those two #but in my defense ... *runs away* #that whole scene did a number on me is all #(i just!! i love them and the love has to go somewhere ok) #(so yeah i'm making up a backstory until we get more info 😌😌😌) #that's not even meta i'm just rambling =3 #Laws of Attraction the series #Laws of Attraction #tanthai x thee #theetanthai #mine #ragongif

terrible, abusive father-son relationship? check ✔️

perpetual self-loathing and feeling like a failure? check ✔️

emotional constipation and internal numbness as a coping mechanism? check ✔️

fellas, we might have ourselves a vegas 2.0

Thee should watch kinnporsche maybe then he’ll feel more comfortable crossing the line between a bodyguard and his charge

#I’m using humor to cope okay #anyway #tanthai needs a hug and nobody else in that godforsaken house is going to give him one #so thee love you’re going to have to do it #also yes I was just able to watch the whole ep I’ve been in the middle of moving it’s a whole thing #laws of attraction #laws of attraction the series

YOU'RE DOING GREAT SWEETIE

#look at him!!!!!! #seeing this man smile so much is giving me all sorts of joy #seeing them just be chill for a moment is genuinely healing #laws of attraction the series #tanthai x thee

[bellarkeandclintashaandsuch]

Did Thee remove Tanthai’s watch for him? And his rings? He placed them so carefully on the nightstand. And left Tanthai a glass of water. He just wants to take care of Tanthai and make sure he’s safe and happy. How many times has he had to do this? How many times has he driven a drunk Tanthai home? How many times has he carried Tanthai out of a bar? How many nights has he lost sleep, so he can keep watch outside Tanthai’s window all night? And Tanthai answers his call right away and looks almost concerned. And he doesn't want to worry him, so he doesn't mention his nightmare. There's so much love there 😭

#laws of attraction #laws of attraction the series #tanthai x thee #thee x tanthai #tanthai x methee #i'm reading this as romantic as possible #sure tanthai could've woken up when they got to the house #but unless shown otherwise #thee carried him from that car #and removed his shoes and watch and rings #and poured him a glass of water #and sure maybe tanthai didn't say anything about the nightmare because he didn't want to seem weak #but to me it's because he doesn't want thee to worry about him #also the lighting on thee and way his head is tilted up to look at tanthai's window looks so romantic to me #also also the statue on Tanthai's bed of a person with their head in their hand looking sad and defeated #very much fits tanthai #:( #and tanthai did look concerned to me when he picked up #i wonder if it's not normal for thee to call him in the middle of the night #like thee's crush is getting harder to control

[bl-recs-and-reviews]

Are we getting a sad and tragic secondary gay couple in Laws of Attraction???? Or is it just me feeling the vibes?? Now that I've seen their starts I need to see it happen. Give me this thailand, I beg you

Laws of Attraction ep 8

I watched the ep on Sat as it aired but then forgot to post these notes. With it being the last ep, I didn't have so much to say...beyond screaming over the brilliance of everything, but here it is anyway.

(Oh god it's all over after this 😭 I miss them already).

That fight was actually great...even though I don't like boxing/fighting. I don't know why Navin isn't worried for Charn's safety though...

Those bruises on Tinn... 😂

I adore Rose and Maya as spies!! Spin-off series now with them as leads running an underground pi business with the bar/singing as a front! Thank you please.

What a fucking location. Out-fuckin-standing.

I LOVE THE DRAMA OF THIS!! LIVE-STREAMING THATTHEP'S CONFESSION?! CHARN YOU FUCKING GENIUS!

Please Charn, please turn off your ringtone 😭🙏🏽

Oh no...Tinn's going to rush in there, get caught by Thatthep's men, and they'll use him to lure Charn out. No no no...

Oh thank god...but wait...

YESSSSSSS CHARN. YOU EVIL GENIUS. FOR ONCE SOMEONE GOING INTO DANGER WEARS A BULLETPROOF VEST. THANK YOU!

Oh oh oh, there's half the ep left. Please let it just be Charn and Tinn being stupidly adorably in love.

Well I was right that the evidence from the doll would be too weak for a prosecution 🤷🏽‍♀️

I can't believe Tanthai still wants to see his father. Smh. I guess despite everything Thatthep did to him, he still seeks recognition and...love?

Charn is such a little shit. I love him.

Not the post-it notes 😭

The marriage equality advocacy speech!!! 👏🏼😍

Glad to see as a collective fandom we are all ignoring the Chan and Tin spellings of their names the show is using. Also, the lettering is in blue! (And it's already been pointed out that it's the same date as the airing day).

Galaxia!

Charn telling his mother that he's happy, with Tinn by his side, surrounded by All. That. Yellow.

Navin! That's it. He's amazing. 10/10. No notes. The best ex-boyfriend we could have gotten for Charn.

I love how Thatthep looks out of focus and obscured (even more than Charn is) behind the metal fence, as though he's not a prominent presence in Charn's life anymore (these are completely unedited screenshots apart from a little crop).

Oh my god the couple sweater vests 😂

Tanthai (and Thee) are finally freeeeeee!

We're all Granny! Yelling at them to kiss 😂

Ugh people in love stink (affectionate)

Not the dolls! 😭

Maya and Rose and their rings!

Tinn still has the ring necklace, and Charn's using his evil babygirl lawyering for good now!

All in all, a fantastic last ep. I think they could have had the wedding date a few years in the future and left it ambiguous as to whether it was a legal wedding or not. But I'm SO glad that from the beginning they set up Charn as being a bit smug about how great a lawyer he was...then made us wonder if he was going to do something stupid and impulsive...but then followed through with Charn's brilliant plan to 'catch' and deal with Thatthep. Yes, he is brilliant and he was right all along about it.

I guess I should add a final note on the colours...which stayed pretty consistent through the series (maybe I'll write another post about just this later) but in short I felt like green represented Tonkhao; Tinn was definitely a loyal blue boy; both Thatthep and Charn also used blue but as a front/a mask to their true selves; Tanthai was generally black and white but was forced to conform to his father's (blue) wishes and tied to the accident of (green) Tonkhao; and Charn...was a bit of an enigma because as well as his blue, he was accompanied by the red of revenge...but under it all I think he was a soft pastel, earthy tones guy, much like his mother...and which is why the shot of the dolls at the end made me gasp so much. Because not only were they there to represent Tonkhao but they both also have Charn and Tinn's colours.

I have picked myself up off the floor enough after Laws of Attraction Episode 6 to just ... go through some things. For my own mental health.

I would watch 600 hours of Charn being uncomfortable in the car with Tinn.

The "long term couple" of Maya and Rose here. Save her from herself, Maya.

This will not be the last time I'm impressed with Film's acting in this episode.

Slow! Motion! Running!

I am being manipulated into caring about Tanthai via Thee's melancholic gaze, but I consent.

Charn! That's the face of a man who's about to live out his romantic trope dreams and knows it.

I panicked for a minute, but dammit, this turned out cute. Tinn being super-corny and singing what sounded like a kind of old-fashioned folk song? I award points for trope subversion.

Did not expect this response to the chief-turned-beggar. I should know better by now.

I AM SO SAD ABOUT THIS. THIS WAS SAD, YOU ALL.

Rose was there!! Ahhh.

WOOoo boy.

This scene was spectacular. The whole conversation, the way Charn wouldn't look at Tinn until Tinn tilted his face up like this... I'm done.

Hand in the hair, we have hand in the hair.

STOP IT.

I am really going to regret caring about this, I just know it.
