That's the most judgemental mf I've ever seen, I'm sold
A THAI MOVIE WITH BRIGHT AND DESI UNDERTONES AND ITS ON PRIME 😭😭😭😭😭

With Tim as the event's photographer, this wedding is set for turmoil as exes reunite." MDL link
Only Friends: Sand's Reaction to Ray VS Boeing
I know some people will be annoyed that Sand wasn't more forceful in telling Boeing to leave him alone. In my opinion, this isn't really surprising. Sand's biggest strength and weakness is his kindness. He'll make concessions for people, even those who hurt him. Ray is a prime example. Why would his ex be any different?
Boeing's Dubious Intentions
It's glaringly obvious just how uncomfortable, stiff and exasperated Sand's body language is during their second exchange. This is someone he shared his ultimate dreams and passions with, which must have made the betrayal even more devastating. We still don't have the full context as to how this all went down, but I'm sure Sand hasn't forgotten that Boeing chose to leave him. Compared to their first re-encounter where Sand appears rattled and somewhat flustered, here he seems to display a more resolute lack of patience, possibly after reminding himself of Boeing's true colours.
This doesn't erase the fact that Sand had feelings for him once, cared about him once. Sand didn't choose to end the relationship, Boeing did. So there would have been unresolved feelings that Sand had to process alone in the aftermath. For Boeing to have the audacity to swan back in rightly warrants a less than lukewarm response.
Even so, Sand shows Boeing an incredible amount of grace when he certainly doesn't have to. He tries to calmly but firmly ward Boeing off. "State your business". "Just forget it. I don't think I'll go." "Just friendship. That I can give you." He makes it very clear that Boeing can find him at the bar but nowhere else. He's trying to establish a distinct boundary, which Boeing swiftly disregards.
Sand's Unease: Where Past & Present Collide
The way Sand is reacting says to me he desperately doesn't want Ray involved. He seems eager to keep him well away from Boeing. Sand could have chosen not to mention his ex's sudden reappearance, but decides to be upfront with Ray about it. I think Sand's turmoil is a sign of worry over what Boeing may do, rather than an indication of indecisiveness over his own feelings. The reason I say this is because Sand doesn't show any warmth, residual affection or happiness in seeing Boeing again. He looks mostly wary, unnerved even.
I can also see why Sand would try to refrain from openly displaying his feelings for Ray in Boeing's presence. If he exhibits just how much he cares about Ray, whose to say whether Boeing may pull another stunt like he did with Mew/Top and try to pursue Ray instead just to be messy. The way Sand looks at Boeing is laden with suspicion and uneasiness, particularly when Ray is around. This is really noticeable when Boeing first addresses Ray - Sand's whole demeanour gets much colder and standoffish.
We don't know precisely what Sand is afraid of - that Boeing may target any ill will at Ray? Or that Ray may be affected by his ex flaunting details about their history which could cause jealousy? Things are going really well between Ray and Sand right now but it's possible Boeing could try to stir up a misunderstanding or create conflict between them.
Ray's Protectiveness: "Deal with him or I'll do it."
Ray knows better than ever what Sand is like. He's all too aware of just how painfully kind and caring his boyfriend can be, often to his own detriment. Boeing is keen to exploit this very fact by trying to appear imploring towards Sand, "You never yell at me." Ray is also acutely familiar with how Sand struggles to say no to those he cares about.
Whilst Ray observes angrily, I like to think this comes from a place of being mad for Sand more than anything. If he's seen their entire interaction play out, he'll notice that Sand has not once initiated physical contact with Boeing. He doesn't shirk him off, but he certainly doesn't respond either. He keeps his arms firmly planted at his sides, and yet Boeing keeps trying his luck. Something about the way Boeing behaves with Sand feels like he treats him as a plaything - someone he used to have wrapped around his finger. Perhaps he thinks that the power he used to have over Sand still remains.
Sand's expressions also feel loaded with shame, as if he's repeatedly chiding himself for being foolish enough to love someone like Boeing, who so cruelly tossed him aside. That somehow he feels partly to blame. Maybe this is a Sand he doesn't want Ray to see. Yet here Ray is, on the side-lines, taking all this in.
From their very first interaction, Boeing is trying to undermine Ray. You can see Ray's growth as he doesn't confront or make a fuss, but chooses to respect Sand's wishes and instead stays quietly hidden to keep watch. He looks to Sand for confirmation he'll be okay on his own before leaving. Though he can detect something isn't right, he allows Sand the opportunity to handle this first.
As soon as he sees Boeing trying to cross a line, he steps in. He's not going to permit Boeing trying to drag Sand off somewhere alone, he'd rather keep the enemy directly under his nose.
What I'm hoping to see in Episode 12 is protective Ray to come out full force. I've said this before but the entire series has been Sand looking after Ray. Whereas this would be a great opportunity for Ray to look out for Sand, and to teach Boeing a lesson at the same time.
That eye contact in the last scene was so loaded. Ray's gaze is a silent threat- 'That's my man you're looking at, don't get used to it. If you're really stupid enough to try anything on my watch, I'll tear your neck out.' Don't ever underestimate Ray, he's small but feisty.
anyone who sees mew/cheum as morally superior or less "in the wrong" than boston or ray are basically proving the show's point that society views mental illness and promiscuity as being morally abhorrent and how those people will always receive far less forgiveness than those seen as "pure"

so anyway pray for Boeing, nothing wrong with him he just thinks he can compete with this guy,,,
Thank you.
I saw a lot of people saying that ray wants to buy sand off. Like seriously the more I read the discourse the more I wonder if I am watching the same show.
Did you miss the scene where ray had a meltdown after he thought that sand was using him for his money. And in this episode sand literally tells ray that he will let him treat him if it's rays money. And he happily accepts the gift.
Ray is not trying to buy him off, he is showing love the way he knows, using his wealth. And sand knows it , that's why he accepted the guitar and actually put a boundary regarding the money.
Only Friends | "He took the money because I forced him to. I admired him. He seemed to live a tough life. So I gave him the money. Don't be mad at him."
Over the series, Ray has harboured an obvious complex over whether Sand may be interested in him due to his wealth - a complex which funnily enough he established by offering to pay Sand to spend time with him from the get go. From the morning after they slept together, Sand makes a point of turning down Ray's money as he now deems him a friend.
Episode 11 is proof that Ray has taken to heart what Sand taught him in Episode 4 and what he has more recently come to learn in Episode 10. Ray could easily pay for Sand and all his needs, but that's not the point. Sand wants to earn his own way and to be seen as capable of doing so, without taking advantage of anyone in the process.
Ray is no longer throwing money at Sand as a means to placate or as leverage. Instead he puts his money towards supporting Sand's dreams, his passions. Intentional gifts that prioritise Sand's happiness, rather than as a gesture of frivolity or force of habit.
When Ray says "I'll pay anything for you", it's his way of saying 'this is the least I can do to take care of you when you do so much for me.' Ray may still feel like he doesn't bring much to the table, but what he can offer is his wealth. Rather than this being a point of insecurity, he can now regard it as a privilege that can be extended to Sand as stability, as support, as love. 'I know you don't need my money. But I am happy to provide for you.'
Tell me if I am wrong but does Boeing know that ray is mews best friend. Like imagine if he doesn't and he gets to know it later.
My ex + sort of friend, who I got by cheating on my bf, is in love with a guy who is the ex and best friend of my other ex 's boyfriend. The one I cheated on . I tried to get revenge on my ex but his ex is vindicative so I try to rebound of my other ex who I dumped and told him I want him back even if he is in a relationship. But I am not a homewrecker you know, I just want to be friends. But his boyfriend , he's fierce by the way but kind of friendly , asked me out in front of my ex and now we are in his pool for a threesome.
I thought I was a hot mess
This poor dude. I feel so sorry for him. Man didn't deserve to be left in the dust.
Its not just firstkhao who needs a romcom, these two need one too.
Only Friends (2023) | Ep.11
But you might be my exception. What are you saying? You don't have to act so sweet. Because I helped you with Atom, you’re returning the favor by becoming my boyfriend? No, you jackass. But it made me realize who really cares about me. No matter how nasty or shitty I am, he always stands right by my side. You are a romantic. You're delusional and get into something too easily. I bet you thought we were boyfriends ever since we first hooked up. No way, you asshole. I'm not that delusional. But you're the one who got my hopes up. I am the way I am. Do you want to be my boyfriend though?
Loving how this ep divided the sandray fans into two. The ones who desperately want a threesome and the ones who want Boeing to fall of an airplane.
But nah I don't think a threesome is gonna happen. Sand has to learn to make some boundaries, it's needed if he wants to be in a relationship with ray. Guess this is how he is gonna learn.
( though my horny side really wants to see three hot men going at it )
ray every ep: invites people over to have a threesome with him and sand
ray when boeing actually comes: get rid of him or ill kill him myself
The amount of love coming off of Ray and Sand is almost painful. The way they talk to each other and about each other? Ugh, my entire heart. It's all the little things and the ways that they're showing their love and then the music disappears with Boeing's arrival and changes and everything about Sand's body languages changes and all that love is suddenly lost in awkward lines and stiffness and separation and Sand looking away.
That's the hardest part.
The space changes so instantly between them when Boeing arrives. It's like a switch.
Tired Sand is still tired. So tired. He has so much drama around him and all he wants is a quiet relationship and to be able to go to concerts and enjoy music.
Oh. Oh that is a hard line.
And Ray is watching them and Sand doesn't say no. Sand doesn't say no to him. Not directly.
And then Ray stomps in to bring the jealousy and the pain and the fears. Because he and Sand might have just started to make everything work again but he's still the same self-hating, self-destructive poor little rich boy he's always been.
Ray is so reliant on Sand, he loves him so much, and he is literally watching Sand not reject Boeing again and again.
I love Sand to death and on every level but the fact that he is not actually saying no to him but seems to expect Ray to just... not be upset about it is not working. He pulls away when Boeing is there. He insists on sending Ray home to stay with Boeing.
Sand, my darling boy, what are you doing?
Regarding the discourse on only friends, I think the fandom has to throw out the idea of who's the villain?.
There's no villain. There's no psycopath or evil mastermind. This is just a show a about 20 something students messing up their life's intentionally or unintentionally , making mistakes and learning from them. No one is right or wrong they are messy and that's the point.
Yes please thank you. I need my SandRay endgame.
This is probably pretty basic and with this show maybe slightly controversial but I kinda want all couples to be endgame in only friends.
Yeah yeah I know it doesn't make a lot of sense and some of them would probably be better off apart.
But like this is still just a silly little bl show. I don't want realism. I want happy ends and cute gifs of characters in love I can save and stare at when I'm sad and real life gets to be too much. That's the fun of fiction. It doesn't have to make sense.
What can I say? Maybe I am a hopeless romantic at heart lol
He's everything
khaotung thanawat.
thats it. thats the post.
I asked for messy not for pain.
Firstkhao is just wow I have no words. Damn stupid talented gorgeous people making me cry so much. I hate you.
Hurt so bad, my handkerchief is drenched. I asked for messy not pain.
“You wanted me to go to rehab cause my dad hired you right? All this time together, did you duped me, making me fall for you and sleep with you?” Ray
“Do you think I don’t have dignity?” Sand
“Yes! You will do anything for money.” Ray
“You can think what you want, but whatever I did was because I care for you.” Sand
“You care about me?? You said that, you wanted me to stop drinking, but here you are, making liquor and selling them!” Ray
😞😢 - offff that hurt even more so that I thought! (And Ray was finally taking the right step….throwing away his alcohol bottles before seeing Sand with his Dad 😭) - but as much as it pains me to say it, Ray is correct - Sand will need to make a communal effort to also minimise alcohol exposure for Ray to successfully be weaned off alcohol, cause the slightest thing can set him back
Only Friends, Episode 10

Me the entire time I am watching this bloody show
Lmao if editing is being done based on audience's " big reactions " then there is no way this series is ending with the couples seperated. Gmmtv is not going to risk pissing of fans , right ?
It's a shame. Funny how scenes with emotions is being cut in a series with sexual promiscuity. It's giving Victorian age but with a twist.
