THE PHOB SLANDER NEEDS TO END
I need people to understand that Tinn feeling betrayed and ending things between him and Phob doesn't mean what Phob did was wrong. The Phob slander I keep seeing is sad because I feel like some people watching the show don't understand the gravity of the decision he made to be a part of this revolution. For a better Siam, for a constitution that benefits all, where people who don't live as nobility have a voice, for change for all.
Tinn may feel used and that is valid because Phob did use their relationship to his advantage (reluctantly) though honestly I feel like the info he did get from Tinn wasn't what helped move the revolution forward though. Anyway, Tinn's feelings are valid but I do think though the tables have turned against the royal families, Tinn will come to understand what Phob did.
It makes me sad when people say he doesn't deserve Tinnakorn and they shouldn't end up together because why would you ever not want two people so irrevocably in love to get their happy ending? What makes Phob unworthy of Tinnakorn, because he was willing to put first the greater good for the people of his country to benefit not just them but himself and free Tinn also from the expectations of his family, so that their love could flourish?
Phob's mother's reaction irks me to no end, because she has never not chosen the royal family over her son, likening him to less because of their status. What Phob has done was to eliminate exactly that kind of system. I understand she is grateful to the royal family for all they did for them and I'll admit they were very kind to them, financing Phob's education (though isn't it exactly this kind of system that prevented him from being able to get an education without royal intervention in the first place?) and encouraging the friendship between the two, the grandma was even fine with their relationship if only to see her grandson happy. And Phob has never been ungrateful to them. He appreciates it all but look at Chat. Embezzling and misappropriating Ministry funds; for people's salaries and pensions. The people on the street with little to no food. If you had the opportunity to exact change that benefitted the many over the few, is that not a noble cause?
I just needed to vent a bit because the Phob slander has been getting to me. In conclusion, Phob's actions are valid and so are Tinn's feelings and I hope these two make it back to each other sooner rather than later. They suffered enough with an 11 year separation.
