Let's say whatever happened that night, you don't have to think too much. And this time, can I kiss you one more time? Yes.

oh i love these idiots already

[Knock Knock, Boys! ep.01]

as frustrating as Peak's continued inability to tell his father the truth is, i do appreciate the contrast between the parents and the situations- Peak has been hiding from his father because his father is trying to control where Peak lives and who he is with, and Peak is afraid of upsetting him so he has been hiding, and he's not been able to get up the nerve to tell his dad what is going on even after his father caught him kissing Thanwa, which has exposed his situation, and he remains unwilling to tell his father the truth so everything is getting worse for him; Almond has been hiding from his mother where he's living because she is trying to control where he lives (and with her belief in fortune telling, who he is with to a degree), and Almond is afraid of upsetting her so he has been lieing, but when his mother catches him out, he comes clean, gives her a tour, and is honest about his situation and the reasoning behind his choices, and she accepts all of this so everything for him is instantly better.

anyway i was sure i was going to dislike Mond's mom at first but then by the end of the episode she was great; Peak's dad had a couple moments peeking through that show he could also be capable of being a fun dad if Peak can be honest with him and allow him to understand what's going on. i think it's of note that he saw Thanwa and Peak kissing and didn't treat Thanwa rudely after that, he's just upset that Peak has run off and wouldn't talk to him and has been dodging out on his responsibilities at home. like when Jane shows him excercise moves to distract him, and Thanwa asks to join in, he's enthusiastic and friendly, so i have a feeling it'll be okay. this is clearly going to lead to a parent-child reconciliation, but idk i feel like the set up is actually laid in the story this time unlike a couple of the unearned ones we've gotten the last few weeks in other shows.

like how else is he supposed to react? and i mean like sure yes he should have owned up to his feelings sooner but at least he did when you haven't told him how you feel at all and are expecting an absolute himbo of a man to just understand a bunch of stuff you're explicitly not telling him about any of this. he took the first step in communication with you by telling you how he felt and you literally left him standing there. he needs to resolve the Jane situation, yes, but if you're not telling him what's going on with Max then you can't be upset he isn't fully explaining or dealing with what's going on with Jane.

he's not as bad as like Ter or Tong that we're dealing with in other shows right now, like he hasn't done anything awful that we've seen specifically before but he's just getting in the way and i want him to piss off

i just want Peak and Thanwa to be honest with each other and own up to how they feel and be happy is all
