𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐘 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐄 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏 🏳️🌈 ↳ khai realizes he loves third
For me, you’re not a movie, you are real.
Could you tell me the differences and good and bad thing mgs about khai and sean? i love not me, thanks to this show i've found off and i love him and his talent so much, now i'm watching tol for the first time and i'm actually enjoying it, love how they are completely different characters and still off gives them something so lovely 💗
YES!!! off really is the best, I love him so much 😭🥰 honestly though, I don't find that there's bad things about either khai or sean, bc even their bad sides are very interesting & fit the character and story really well. it's my headcanon that khai & sean are twins separated at birth and khai grew up really rich & privileged while sean grew up exactly like not me showed him to be. (should I write a fic like that lmao? at this point I think I should :'))
khai:
dumb
fuckboy
literally the funniest person ever
fashion sense to the gods
loyal
fucking adorable
oblivious
cheesy as all hell
forgiving
literal artsy hipster
really sincere
childish
literally the most pathetic
sean:
rough
cold
sad boi™
hot-headed
stubborn
loyal
childish
forgiving
kinda dumb sometimes, like his plans all suck ass lmao
cool as hell
ngl still very cute even when he's frowning lol
really sincere
literally even more pathetic <3

10 things Khai Khunpol Krichpirom did in front of Third
Theory of Love the series second episode
I think the main issue people have with tol is that Khai is incredibly unlikeable. I enjoyed tol but I also never rooted for them bc khai being the way he is makes me wonder how third ever fell for him, plus I felt like third could do better.
I can understand that much. Even I was really frustrated with Khai until we got to his pov. One of my only problems with the show is that they made Khai into this big asshole where in the book he's just a dumb slut (affectionate). There's a lot of scenes in the book where he takes care of Third or talks in detail about his feelings that really give an amazing insight into his own struggles with feeling inadequate and not understanding his own sexuality that I felt were so important to the story and hated that they were cut from the show. They also made him act more selfishly than he does in the book simply to add drama. In the book Third was always his first priority and he didn't even seriously date girls, only had casual partners, literally because he'd noticed his gfs made Third uncomfortable and decided that meant no more gfs for Khai. So yeah, he's a bit of a jerk in the show and I don't like that anymore than anyone else.
But I also feel that, at some level, people over empathise with Third and put him on a pedestal and bc they're so attached to Third, everything Khai does seems terrible even though it really isn't that bad. Like, everyone gets so mad about him lying to Third to go out with Milk, but it's not like he knew Third was imagining it as a date. You can't seriously tell me friends never cancel plans to go on dates or hook-ups. Like, yes Khai has moments where he's a real jerk but I just feel people make him out to be a lot worse than he actually is. We have to remember that most, not all but most, of the things Khai does that make Third sad are things friends normally do anyway and they're not supposed to be these big betrayals among friends. We just see them as such bc we can see how much it hurts Third. Khai doesn’t know he's hurting though and when he finds out how much he inadvertently hurt Third it destroys him. Khai isn't (usually) an asshole by choice, he's just bad at not being self-centered.
But he's very self-aware too, he acknowledges all his flaws and actively works upon being better because he doesn't want to feel unworthy of Third's love, which he very much does for most of the show. Khai's nowhere near as shitty as way too many bl protagonists I've seen and yet he seems to get called irredeemable far more just for being a playboy. It doesn't sit well with me, personally.
On top of all that, Third's hardly this perfect angel people make him out to be. He's nice and polite to most people out of respect but he's also kind of evil (in a fun way!). He gets annoyed at his friends and starts kicking, he's mad at Khai so he tries to poison him twice, he wants to break Khai's heart after Ching Ching so he goes and makes out with Bone knowing Bone is Khai's Person after Third. Y'all can't just forget that Third was dubbed a Savage by the whole faculty for being cutthroat and mean to people who fell out of his favour. He's deliberately cruel to every person he rejects, irrespective of their intentions. The whole Savage Gang lives in terror of his mean side.
Khai is a jerk mostly by chance, Third is mean by choice. Neither of these things mean they aren't good enough for each other because despite all their bad habits they both actively choose to be good to each other. That's why I think it's such a good story, because they're both kinda assholes who choose to be good for each other and love each other unconditionally.
so hi everyone, I cannot get back into the swing of using tumblr for love nor money but I love Theory of Love so much like I live and breathe this series, I can’t stop rewatching it, I will never get sick of it, and I need a space to share all my thoughts about it
so in this post I offer you: my analysis on why I believe khai secretly loved third the entire time but he was too insecure within himself to act on it and/or repressed his feelings for the same reasons as Third
so before I begin, I actually sent these paragraphs to friend around maybe a month or two ago, but I’ve been thinking things over again so I thought I may as well share it. also I wrote this before I read the novel for the first time so this purely based on the series (currently)
so first I would like to discuss EP2 ¼ when khai and third are getting the ambience sounds at the pond
first of all, khai giving third an earphone is really cute??? like he wants to be in the moment with third, and then he has that soft af look on his face. also I think in this scene you can really see how comfortable khai is around third. he really lets his guard down here. he doesn’t make any weird jokes, he’s quiet (ok maybe just for the recording but still) and he closes his eyes. I don’t really know how to explain it, but you don’t just close your eyes and relax around anybody while you’re outside, right?
ok here is my real delulu interpretation: so then khai says “I really like to listen to the sound of nature. It calms me down.” and I think in this moment he’s actually talking about being with third because of what I said above, and then he says, “The view here is also great. If I am to ask someone to be my baby, this is the right place for it. Don’t you think?” I just don’t think it’s a coincidence? I mean, khai’s had all these girls, so wouldn’t he have asked someone to be his gf at that spot already? I think at this point in the story, khai is still trying to figure out/confirm how third feels about him, so the “don’t you think?” is trying to egg third on to tell khai how he feels about him, since khai also recognises it’s a romantic spot
I know all his friends think khai’s a dumbass, and he is to some extent, but I also think he pretends to be stupid a lot of the time. the poor baby is not blind. I bet that since him and third are best friends, he picked up on third’s behaviour around him a long time ago, before anyone else noticed. that, and third seemingly hasn’t been with anyone since they started university, and now they’re in their third year, which is a pretty long time not mention being into anybody or date, so that only adds in khai’s favour. third is a really tough one to crack since he puts his guard up around khai to save his own heart, and I think khai knows that which is why he does all these soft things
so then, third goes “khai, I have something to tell you.” khai goes “Mmm, let’s hear it.” as opposed to ‘what’s up?’ or 'what’s going on?’ or 'what’s wrong?’, like he’s expecting it. then third says “I like…” and omg khai’s face here? I mean he’s got to be waiting for it, especially when third says 'I like…’ and he’s looking at khai with that dumbfounded expression. and khai doesn’t say anything, he just waits for third, whereas if it was two or bone they’d be all 'HUH? You like WHO?’
so third eventually says “I like this ambience, too.” and khai does that smile like he got his answer, because remember that khai is actually talking about third when he says he likes the ambience! if third said 'I like this ambience, too’ to anyone else, they’d probably think it was a weird thing to say, because in reality you’d probably just go 'mmm’ or 'same’ or 'me too’. I really think that khai sees third’s reply as another piece of evidence of third having feelings for him, because he says “We’re on the same page.” which is his way of saying 'I like you too’, because you wouldn’t normally say something like that? you’d probably just go 'mmm’. and then he smiles and closes his eyes again
a small thing: a reason why I think Khai is not more direct about it is because the sound is recording, and (he thinks) the recording will be later handled by bone (though third does the initial edit), who loves teasing khai. actually this makes me wonder if bone heard anything they said, which makes him go to khai with his suspicions? they’re both speaking so softly, it probably took bone by surprise to hear khai talking like that
ALSO that scene with un talking to third: khai’s jealously is just insane. there’s no need to be that jealous of third talking to someone else, especially since this was the first time khai had seen them talk together. I think that runs much deeper than being jealous of un being un. khai and un are alike in some aspects, so if khai had already submitted to the idea that since he can’t be romantically involved with third, he’d know to keep him as his friend instead and then panics that third will replace him un, especially with two listing all his good qualities…
AND ONE MORE THING THAT GETS ME EVERY TIME that scene when third moves in with khai and khai makes the comment about sharing bodies, and third says “just bodies? You should take my heart too.” and khai’s really taken aback by the comment for a moment then says something like “don’t say that next time, the person will fall in love with you” and they lean in towards each other, and stare into each other’s eyes for ages… omg. khaithird I will give you my LIFE
here concludes my current analysis but pls feel free to scream about khaithird with me because I can’t get enough :))
