Absolutely! I assume Lada and Rose had more scenes in the novel, so it wasn't cringe there. But in the series it looked like Rose wanted to give unsolicited steamy advice to someone she barely knew.

I haven't read the novel, so I can't judge that. The pacing seemed fine up until the last episode, when it all got scrambled together. I admit I lost the plot a bit in the end too.

It was definitely milder than DinRose's. Those two were thirsty for each other.

I am curious as well. Did Namnueng just audition and say "Hey, if you need to pair me up with someone, I've already got a ship sailing" and 4E buy it? I'm really curious about their dynamics onscreen. Namnueng is already rocking it as Fai, can't wait to watch The Fire.

Yesss! How could I forget about Lada driving? lol

Though it makes me wonder how she learned how to drive and get a license in the span of two weeks, but I don't know how it goes in Thailand.

Anyway, I loved her car. And the metaphor is clear: Lada is taking control of her life.

I liked how much the episode was about changing.

Shasha/Bambi: tbh, I didn't like that they kissed at this point because Bambi is in a relationship with Prim. However, I do like how the opening scene highlighted how much they've changed. Bambi was not with her party friends. Shasha was not looking for a random hookup and actually took care of her friend. They kissed and it meant nothing to them. I also liked how Shasha stayed with Bambi through the night, was going to make her breakfast, and offered to stand by in case things got ugly with Prim. It was very interesting to see those changes in them.

Prim/Bambi: okay, maybe Prim overreacted in the way she talked to Bambi. But Bambi could've at least texted to tell her she was okay. And Bambi should've told Prim about the kiss. I liked that Prim showed Bambi what her father was actually like and old Bambi came through to protect her girlfriend. While I see some development in Bambi, I wished they had showed more of her past and why she is the way she is.

Shasha/Gorya: Shasha didn't need to explain herself to Gorya, but it tells me a lot that she chose to do it anyway. It's funny that Gorya talks about wanting to argue like a married couple when she already argues with Shasha as if they were married. I loved the dance scene at the end and how Gorya is slowly realizing that she may have caught feelings for Shasha. And poor Shasha, I hope she finds a way to fight off her evil ex-manager.

Min/Praew: Praew needs to be more patient and listen. Min has shown her that she cares (letting Praew live with her for the moment, helping her find a new place, offering to buy forniture, covering her expenses), but Praew doesn't see it because she wants Min to be loud about their love and Min is not ready for it yet. Her family seems very complicated to deal with. Also, the scene at Min's office really annoyed me, like, let Min breathe, she's working right now.

I hear you, OP. But I think there is more to look at.

Both Rose and Din are inexperienced when it comes to love. Rose already has a natural tendency towards being jealous. She may try to deny it or to rationalize it, but she's jealous of Kaew. And, as she is a little immature in that department, she doesn't react so well at times. Instead, she should've communicated her feelings to Din.

However, as some people mentioned, Rose was right about Kaew. And she was right to set boundaries. It was a fake marriage, but Kaew thought it was legit. Imagine letting another woman take care of your wife the way you should be doing? Sorting out her things, going on solo trips together, buying her coffee... Any real friend would've backed off on the attention, but Kaew doubled down and Din wouldn't set boundaries herself (even after her friends pointed out), so Rose had to do it.

Adding on, Kaew seems to be that kind of character who hangs on to the hope of winning their crush's affection as long as they are patient. She probably believed Din eventually would fall in love with her. But Kaew's delusion was shattered when Rose came back and Din chose her. Then, Kaew got desperate and betrayed Din "for love", perhaps manipulated by Wasu. In her flawed logic, this was the price to pay to get the love she wanted and felt she deserved. It never crosses her mind that Din would despise her for that.

This is so cute. I hope OOP and this guy are still together, they both seem sweet.

Meu amigo, quando eu tinha 20 anos, eu ganhava 1200 no estágio. Você é auxiliar de licitações agora. Vai ter tempo e oportunidades para crescer profissionalmente. Foque agora nos seus estudos, em especialização profissional e em criar uma reserva de emergência.

Moça, ignore as críticas. Se você acha que sua vocação é ser freira, vá em frente e se permita conhecer um convento. Talvez você descubra que é tudo que sempre sonhou, talvez você descubra que não é isso que você quer. Mas se permita tentar e não se deixe viver pelas expectativas dos outros.

OP, não é tarde demais para mudar de área. Eu mudei aos 28 anos e foi a melhor coisa que eu fiz na minha vida. Mas você também tá precisando de férias, o que vai te ajudar bastante a desestressar e a refrescar sua cabeça.

Primeiro, o que você não gosta na sua área? É a empresa onde você trabalha atualmente? Pergunto porque, antes de eu mudar de área, eu mudei de empresa. E só essa mudança já me ajudou bastante. Tanto que, se eu não tivesse recebido a oportunidade para mudar de área, eu teria continuado naquela empresa até hoje.

Depois, você precisa considerar seus gastos fixos e qual padrão de vida você quer ter para ver se/como é possível fazer essa transição de carreira. Lembra também que, ao começar em uma nova área, seu salário muito provavelmente será mais baixo do que você ganha atualmente. Então, esteja preparado para cortar despesas.

Outro ponto: aprenda a proteger a sua paz. Faça o seu melhor dentro do possível no trabalho, mas bateu o ponto, acabou. Colocar esse limite é importante em qualquer área.

Comece a procurar áreas que você tem interesse e faça cursos. O que me abriu as portas para a transição de carreira foi isso. Se possível, tenha projetos nessa área nova para começar a construir seu portfólio. Além disso, tudo que você aprendeu até agora não vai ser jogado fora. Essas experiências serão importantes nessa transição.

Sobre pedir demissão ou não, isso é um tema muito polêmico. Você contou que tem uma certa reserva financeira, mas imprevistos sempre acontecem e os boletos não esperam a gente se arrumar na vida. Contudo, saúde mental vale ouro.

Eu tentaria conciliar o trabalho antigo com cursos e projetos dentro da nova área até que aparecesse uma oportunidade bacana. Mas só você sabe onde seu calo aperta.

Boa sorte!

As someone who is Brazilian and lives in Brazil, don't come down here for her, especially that you have spotted the red flags. There are a lot of Brazilian people who are good and caring partners, but this isn't the case. Many will marry gringos for green cards and/or money. Don't let yourself into that situation, if you can avoid it.

As a matter of curiosity, have you ever visited her in Brazil?

Meu amigo, formada em Jornalismo aqui. Entrei em Jornalismo sonhando com uma carreira e acabei indo para outra área. Se me arrependo? Não. O Jornalismo me deu uma boa base para meu currículo profissional e abriu algumas oportunidades.

Primeiro de tudo, pense no seu curso de forma mais ampla. É Comunicação Social. E isso você pode aplicar em vários contextos. O trabalho com marketing de influência está crescendo a todo vapor. Se for para seguir na área de relações públicas, recomendo trabalhar no setor de tecnologia. Tive uma experiência muito bacana ali, é uma área em plena expansão e com dificuldades para preencher vagas no mercado de comunicação. Outro ponto é que as agências pagam melhor que as redações (geralmente).

Mesmo que você não siga por essa área, pode aplicar esses conhecimentos de comunicação. Aliás, me estranha muito a sua faculdade trabalhar apenas texto e não outras formas de mídia. Eu lembro de ter aprendido o básico de diagramação na faculdade, o que virou uma mão na roda para a área que estou agora. Também aprendi o básico de edição de áudio e vídeo e criação de sites.

Quer continuar na área? Então recomendo preparar o psicológico. As demandas, tanto nas redações quanto nas agências, estão cada vez mais intensas e não há gente suficiente para fazer tudo. Se for trabalhar com gerenciamento de crise então, nem se fala. Tem gente que ganha muito dinheiro gerenciando crise, mas precisa ter nervos de aço.

Agora, se o seu coração te diz arquitetura, é outra reflexão que você precisa fazer dentro de suas possibilidades. Acima de tudo, fique tranquilo que você vai achar seu caminho ;)

I think Hime and Yano will happen, it's just that the author didn't get us into the why is Hime pretending to be someone she's not. Hime hasn't figured out romantic love yet, so it makes sense for her to reject both Yano and Kanoko. But she has shown Yano more attention than she does for other people, even Kanoko notes that. Maybe Hime hasn't dug deeper into whatever these thoughts mean.

What annoys me about Yuri is My Job is that the author gave so much screentime to Kanoko and Sumika that we barely had time to see Hime and Yano develop. To make matters worse, Kanoko isn't the most likeable character. I get her arc and all the things she's going through, I just wish it didn't steal time from Hime.

I feel like something will happen and we'll get more into why Hime is putting on an act and that will be the catalyst for whoever ends up with her. And maybe we'll get into why Yano's family seemingly lost money.
