Original subtitles

Daddy Grace is stable. He'll be off the ventilator this evening.

Grace's dad is unbelievable.

He never misses the water till the well runs dry.

It's hard for old people to forgive the people they are mad at.

Dad…

I'm…

I'm sorry.

It was my fault.

Mata.

You will be meeting people who have a different way of thinking.

Don't forget about our magic shop.

Who are you here with?

Her name is Matalada.

She's my girlfriend.

Are you serious about this girl?

I'm not planning to date her for long.

Is there a new mistress?

I think so.

We had a huge fight.

Don't you feel anything?

Of course I do.

But things have become much better.

Why don't you break up with Dad?

It's complicated.

And I'm fine with how things are.

I've put up with him for this long.

I deserve to get something in return, don't I?

You put up with him for me.

I did.

I used to put up with him for you.

But not anymore.

I put up with him for my own sake.

You don't need to worry about anything.

So things aren't going to work out between you and Purim, are they?

No.

It's a shame. He's a good man.

Don't feel that way. He's just a man.

You don't need to be strong for me.

Follow your heart.

Do whatever you want.

Date whoever you want.

Put your happiness first.

You are my daughter. No one else has a say in how you live your life.

-Hello. -Welcome.

-Welcome. -Welcome.

-Smile. -Smile.

The press conference…

-Did you just arrive? -Yes.

-It's so nice to see you. -Likewise.

-You look beautiful today. -Thank you.

Please follow me.

-When did you get here? -A while ago.

Have you been well?

How do you think I feel

after everything that has happened?

But yes.

I've been well.

Why did you let Purim go?

Purim and I were never an item.

It wouldn't be right to say that I let Purim go.

The real question is, why did I let you go?

I'm not good enough for you.

That's another excuse.

You and Purim are full of excuses.

It's not an excuse.

Or are you going to tell me

that I'm good enough for you?

You said it yourself

that you didn't like players.

And you said you weren't a player.

Do you really think

we can be together?

I only approached you

to beat Purim.

And you let me.

Because you wanted Purim.

Do you think…

we can just pretend none of this has ever happened?

I don't know.

It wouldn't work out anyway if I was the only one answering those questions.

Do you want to be my girlfriend?

Hello.

Are you at the party? Do you see Pang?

Yes, Mom.

Good, don't screw up.

You have to win Pang's heart.

Mom, I can't talk right now.

I have to go.

Pang.

Let me go.

You are right.

I'm interested in you,

but I don't actually want to date you.

If we decide to go out,

it will be exciting at first.

We will both feel like winners.

I will beat you.

And you will beat Purim.

But as time passes,

the excitement will go away.

And whenever we reach a disagreement,

we will use this fact to hurt each other.

Before we know it,

we will be tired of each other.

And that's when

you will start cheating on me.

You will be like my dad.

And I will become an alcoholic like your mom.

Then we will realize that we are both losers.

We've been losers from the start.

We shouldn't be together, Tri.

Take it.

You don't want anyone to see you cry.

The person who made you cry

must be a big idiot.

I'm Faras.

I'm Pang.

Thank you, but you don't need to take care of me.

Of course I do.

Anybody who is attending the party tonight

is my special guest.

-It's Pang. -Did you guys come together?

Do you two know each other?

Where did you meet?

Did you meet abroad or in Thailand?

-Let us take a photo of you. -Stand closer, please.

-Thank you. -This camera too.

-Stand closer. -Smile, please.

-Okay, stand still. -Smile.

I ordered these Chinese herbs just for you.

No, thank you.

Why are you so stubborn, Vee?

These herbs I got for you are of great quality.

-Take a sip. -If it's that great, keep it for yourself.

No.

I've had enough. This one is for you.

Pao, she doesn't want it. Don't force her.

You are right, ma'am.

Venus, it's good for your body. It will make you beautiful.

-He's right. -I know.

Drink it yourself then. Finish the whole thing.

After that, enter the kettle. I'll dump it in the river…

Pao.

Good job.

Good job.

I can't take it anymore.

What's wrong with your dad? He's acting so weird.

He's thanking you for taking care of me.

No, he's not.

Then what is he doing?

The other day, Pao asked me

if you have a boyfriend,

how long you two have known each other, how close you two are, and…

What?

What?

He asked if you've slept together.

Gosh, no!

It's disgusting to think about it.

Stop thinking.

Mata refers to you as Daddy and Vee as Mom.

And look at her boobs.

-Are those your knees? -Shut up.

I get why they are confused.

This won't do. I need to show them my identity.

You lunatics, I'm not showing anyone my genitals.

There's nothing to show. I said goodbye to my penis a long time ago.

What are you going to do then?

Here you go.

"Mr. Vanassarin."

You are a man?

That's right.

My former name was Veeraparp.

Vanassarin, what a beautiful name.

Thank you, ma'am.

Pao.

Please stop whatever

you are planning to do.

Nothing will ever happen between Grace and me.

I'm sorry, Vee.

I don't know what he was thinking.

So you knew? Why didn't you tell him?

It was fun to watch.

-What? -Fern.

Pao, let them be whatever they want.

Stop being a control freak.

Krirk had a wife.

And he gave us Mata.

He has done enough for us.

It's time we stop controlling his life.

Mom.

It's enough that we see him

as a human

and a kind person.

I'm sorry, all of you.

Pao, don't apologize to us.

Just please don't force me to drink the herbal tea.

The bitterness is still lingering inside my mouth.

I need some water.

I get why you were confused though.

Krirk, don't you want to look like a woman like Vee?

No, Dad.

But you…

Given your situation, I thought you would want to look like a woman.

I don't want to be a woman.

What?

What about you?

Me? I don't want to be a woman either.

Really?

I'm even more confused now.

We are different.

How?

At first, I thought I wanted to be a woman.

But after I got to spend time with myself and my friends,

I started to slowly realize who I was and what I wanted in life.

What do you want to be then, Krirk?

Everyone dreams

to be themselves, Mom.

I want to look in the mirror

and see the version of myself my heart tells me to be.

Venus is happy with this version of herself.

Kitty is happy with his identity

and I'm happy with mine.

We just want to be honest with ourselves.

At first, when you told me you were…

gay,

I had no idea what was going to happen.

I didn't know if you were going to divorce your wife and abandon your daughter.

I didn't know if you were going to dress as a woman

-or… -Date a man?

You were very worried about me, weren't you?

I was more worried about

my incapability

to protect my own child.

After you ran away,

Monruedee's dad published an article

in the newspaper

saying his daughter got dumped by my gay son.

To be honest,

I was very upset.

But I'm not upset…

anymore.

Now, I understand him.

Every dad worries

about his child.

I embarrassed you.

No, you didn't.

You didn't embarrass me.

I was scared.

I was scared

that people were going to be rude to you.

I was scared you were going to have

a bad and unemployed life

without a family of your own

or people who would

truly love you.

I was afraid of you

catching an illness

and getting hurt.

I…

I was terrified of everything.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Dad.

No.

Don't apologize.

I'm glad

you showed me

that you are living a happy life the way you want.

You made me understand.

And that's enough for me.

I'm proud of you.

Thank you.

Thank you for being my child.

Thank you.

Thank you both very much

for staying by Krirk's side all this time.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Tri.

Good morning, Mom.

-Who upset you? -You said you and Pang were doing well.

I did.

Where were you last night

when she entered the party with that billionaire?

Have you not seen the news?

Why do you always screw everything up?

You never do anything right.

Mom, Purim doesn't love Pang.

So what?

You shouldn't leave her just because Penneung doesn't love her.

Isn't that what you want?

You told me to approach Pang to beat Purim.

Idiot.

How can you be so shallow, Tri?

Yes, I told you to seduce her so you could beat Purim.

You're right.

But she's a good person.

I'm glad Penneung isn't interested in her.

Are you really going to let her go because of Penneung?

How can you be so stupid, Tri?

Why are you always one step behind him? What's wrong with you?

I'm your son.

You're the reason I can't beat him.

All right, you can die a loser then.

Thank god that wasn't hot.

Noklek.

-Noklek. -Yes.

Put this on a plate. I want to eat it with Nid.

-Put everything on a plate. -Yes.

Make it quick.

Okay, please send me the menu for food and drinks.

I'll order it at the same time.

Thank you. Goodbye.

Lee, how's the cream I got you?

It's great. Thank you for the cream.

Don't thank me. Go thank Rit.

Rit is such a generous man.

I wondered who it was.

I could hear you from there.

I'm sorry. I couldn't control my volume.

I'm always too loud.

She…

This is Mayrin, my graduate student.

Hello.

Is she a student? What is a student doing at your house?

May came to discuss her research with me.

Make yourself at home. I'm going to walk May out.

Nid, do interns usually come to your house to discuss their work with Rit?

Usually, no, but she's special.

Rit's acquaintance asked him to take special care of her.

Nid, you should be cautious.

You are already aging,

but Rit still looks quite young.

Girls dig men like him.

What are you saying?

It's true, Nid.

Men his age have everything in life,

whether it's money or power.

Girls are into those things.

That girl just now,

her eyes were sparkling. You should watch out for her.

"FARAS AND ARUNRASSAMEE" SEEN TOGETHER IN PUBLIC FOR THE FIRST TIME

Hello.

Who is that?

I'm calling to apologize to you.

Rumors about us are spreading fast today.

It's fine. It's just a misunderstanding. I get it.

That's why I want to make it right.

Are you free for dinner today?

I got you something

to thank you for the food the other day.

Thank you.

Wait.

Aren't you going to invite me inside?

I was planning to eat them with you.

What's bothering you?

Me?

Yes.

I can see the sadness in your eyes. Is everything all right?

I'm bored.

It means you didn't get to do something the way you wanted.

You are being spoiled.

You should stop being spoiled if you can.

Purim is spoiled too.

Why don't you call him Penneung?

"Penneung" means "the best".

What does that make me then?

The second best?

Or the loser?

Aren't you tired?

It's okay to live a simple life.

It seems to me like you are always acting.

You pretend to be a flirty player

when the truth is your walls are extremely high.

You should try to live a simple and honest life

for once.

Your speech

made me feel tired.

I didn't sleep well last night too.

In that case, go take a nap.

I can't.

I can't sleep in an unfamiliar place.

Why is he sleeping here?

He bought me snacks.

He came to sit here after he ate then he passed out in three seconds.

Have you told Penneung?

Yes.

Good job.

What snacks did he bring?

I'll show you.

They are Thai desserts.

Come on, Daddy Grace.

He brought a lot of snacks.

This dessert is quite rare.

-Is it called Sampannee? -Yes.

It looks delicious.

-It does. Look how juicy it is. -I bet it's sweet.

-Good afternoon! -Good afternoon!

Riri.

Riri, your yelling woke Tri up.

You're here again? What are you doing here?

Stop it, Riri.

-Hello. -Hi.

-Hello. -Hello.

Dear, why are you so sleepy?

Did I fall asleep?

I thought you were dead.

I'm sorry.

Don't apologize. I'm glad you got to take a nap.

Stay for dinner.

That's all right.

Hey, have you got Mata's number?

When you were in the hospital, he came to see Mata but he didn't have her number.

Have you got it yet?

Pass me the corn.

-Sure, Auntie Vee. -The crispy pork is amazing.

Do you need anything, Daddy Grace?

Do you have enough rice?

Give Tri some more rice.

It's okay, ma'am.

Just call me Auntie Grace. Don't call me "ma'am".

Eat up. It will lighten up your mood.

Okay, thank you.

Look at our daughter.

She eats a sack of rice per meal.

Rice is delicious.

When Penneung asks for her hand,

I'll request rice as the dowry.

I don't need gold or money.

Wait. I think we have to ask for his hand.

His family won't give their blessing.

His parents didn't say a word to you

when you picked them up at the airport, did they?

Really?

How could they be so rude?

Let's all calm down.

Don't forget that Tri is Penneung's cousin.

It's okay.

Weren't you there then too?

Yes.

Please inform your family

that we might be different,

but we have a dignity of our own.

You are being silly.

I have to pick up a call.

Yes, Uncle.

Has your mom told you about my birthday party?

Yes, I was surprised when I heard.

You never throw parties.

You are invited. Please invite your dad too.

All right.

Sister.

Have you invited Purim's girlfriend?

I think she's coming.

Trichat, I actually have a question for you.

Do you happen to know what her family does for a living?

So? Do you know?

Thank you.

Tri, do you feel better now?

Mata told me you were sad when you got here.

It's an act.

I'm better now.

What's bothering you?

Curiosity killed the cat.

It's something stupid.

I bet it's this.

"FARAS AND ARUNRASSAMEE" SEEN TOGETHER IN PUBLIC FOR THE FIRST TIME

Your girl has a new man.

Are you a guide or a reporter?

Did I say something wrong?

No, it just hurt her on the spot.

She doesn't want to be a guide.

She wants to be a reporter.

You don't need to walk me out.

-Are you sure? -You can send me off here.

-Drive safely. -I will.

Everybody, send off our guest.

Bye.

I don't know what to do.

Two, three, four, five, six.

Do it slowly.

Change to the other side. My knees hurt.

THANK YOU FOR TODAY

Is something wrong?

No, nothing's wrong.

I'm sorry. That was rude of me.

Somebody is bothering you.

Doesn't everybody have that person?

It's strange

how people usually pay attention to the ones who upset us.

On the other hand, we neglect the ones

who make us happy.

I was serious

when I said I wanted to know you better.

Will you give me a chance?

Are you sure?

You decide whether or not

you want to give me a chance.

I don't mind getting to know you better.

But I'm not sure about

going beyond that.

Are you talking about us falling in love?

I was hoping we would get there.

I don't believe in love.

I don't think it exists.

I want to prove you wrong.

Good morning.

Penneung.

It's nice to see you when I come home.

Did you get any sleep last night during your shift?

A bit.

In that case,

eat some grilled pork and soy milk.

Don't drink coffee or you won't be able to sleep.

-Grilled pork? -Yes.

And the sticky rice will help you sleep.

I've never eaten this type of breakfast before.

That's why you need me.

Did Tri go to your house yesterday?

Yes.

He came to flirt with me as usual then fell asleep.

Fell asleep?

I wasn't going to let him inside the house.

But he looked tired and sad

so I let him in.

Why were you not going to let him in?

I didn't want you to worry.

I sounded so cool just now.

I trust you.

It's weird.

Tri usually has trouble falling asleep.

He was snoring yesterday.

Are you full?

Yes.

Go to bed. We'll talk later when you wake up.

I'll clean up.

Let me.

Stay a little longer.

Don't seduce me.

I have work to do too.

Go to bed.

I'll go to your place when I wake up.

I'll check on Auntie Grace's wound.

Okay.

-Penneung, on my way here, -Yes.

I saw a new stray dog.

Leave it alone, Mata.

I only want to check on Auntie Grace's wound.

-But it's really sad. -Mata.

Did you understand what I said?

Yes.

Olive.

Do you want a new friend?

I'm really busy today, Penneung. You should get some rest.

Don't come here.

Oh, no. He's here.

Where is Mata?

She is here.

Penneung.

The dog bit you, didn't it?

Didn't I tell you to leave it alone?

He's lecturing her for me.

Where did it bite you?

-Thank you. -Sure.

Penneung, you cleaned the wound nicely.

All right.

I gave it some meatballs.

I didn't know it was going to be aggressive.

What an angel.

The Goddess of Stray Dogs.

You have to admit

you don't know how to approach dogs.

It's dangerous, you know?

That was the most gentle lecturing I've ever heard.

I won't bother you anymore. I should go.

Wait.

Auntie Vee.

Yes.

Next week is my dad's birthday.

Please let me bring Mata with me.

Did he invite her?

Yes.

I talked to my parents about Mata.

My mom told me to invite Mata to the party.

Really, Penneung?

Yes.

You are invited too.

Me too?

Am I going there as the bride's mom?

Auntie Vee.

What's wrong? Are you embarrassed?

It's a bride-to-be.

I'm only a bride-to-be.

I'm not a bride yet.

Today has finally come.

It feels like a dream.

It's too good to be a dream.

Thank you for staying by my side, Venus.

Who am I supposed to be with if not you?

Don't you get lonely?

Are you chasing me away?

No.

You are beautiful and young, Venus.

It's not my goal to have a boyfriend.

So what is your ultimate goal in life?

I want to be a mom.

When I was young,

I regretted not getting a chance

to be a mom.

Until I met you and Mata.

Mata is clearly your daughter.

I owe it to you and Mata.

You give my life meaning.

I don't know what I would be doing right now

if I didn't know you and Mata.

Where's our daughter?

She went to buy Penneung's dad a gift.

Oh, no.

Why didn't she talk to me first?

I hope she doesn't buy him something weird.

One iced Americano.

One iced latte.

One hot latte.

-One chocolate frappe, extra sweet. -Hey, Mata.

What are you doing here at the hospital?

I'm here as his girl.

Damn.

Is your heart still with you?

I doubt it.

Where is it then?

It's with her.

Let's go.

What brings you here?

I need your advice on what to buy your dad.

That's hard.

What about jade carved as lettuce?

-That sounds good. -It brings good luck.

Stop giving her advice.

Don't listen to him.

Buy my dad a normal gift.

He's right.

Buy Pu's dad something you would buy for your dad.

Lipstick?

See? My carved jade idea doesn't sound so bad now.

Buy a big one.

Old people like them.

Are you ready?

Let me introduce you to my masterpiece.

The beautiful--

Enough, Venus.

Stop it, please. It's embarrassing.

Fine.

You can come out now.

I know I'm beautiful.

-We haven't said a word. -We haven't said a word.

But you do look beautiful.

You do.

I think you are beautiful.

You look just like me.

But you look too pale.

What?

I think you are beautiful just like me.

Grandma.

-We are beautiful. -We are beautiful.

I got my beauty from you too.

Oh, my.

-It's him. -He's here.

-Come stand here. -Go.

Stand here and look pretty.

-Sister, her hair. -Her hair.

The front part.

Hello, Mata.

Hello, Penneung.

Here.

Thank you, Auntie Vee.

You should go, Cinderella.

My job as the fairy godmom is done.

Thank you.

We can wait for you.

Don't wait for me. Go without me.

It's too much pressure to dress up while people are waiting for me.

I'll meet you there.

Please take care of Mata for me, Penneung.

Take care of this monkey for me, doctor.

Grandpa.

Monkey.

Please tell your dad Happy Birthday for me.

Thank you.

Mata, are you bringing the lipstick with you?

Yes.

And don't eat too much. Do you understand?

Please take care of my daughter.

Don't worry about her.

Let's go.

You look beautiful today.

I totally agree.

What did you say?

Why didn't you knock?

Did I surprise you?

What are you doing here? What do you want?

Do you want money?

I didn't know you were so condescending.

When a friend attends your birthday party,

you should speak nicely.

You are throwing a huge party.

It reminds me

of our past birthday parties.

We would steal from Aunt Jang's store.

Drinking a can of beer felt like a fancy party for us.

Have you forgotten your roots?

What do you want?

What do I want?

You can't give me what I want.

You took that chance away when you stabbed me in the back.

I didn't betray you.

Say whatever you want.

You can say whatever you want.

You didn't betray me. We are still friends.

Friends.

How can friends be so different?

You are a billionaire

while I'm an ex-convict.

Do you really think we can be friends? Think about it.

You went to jail more than once.

Besides that one time, you put yourself in jail.

Yes, I did.

I willingly went back to prison.

Do you know why?

Because convicts aren't liars.

You think only good-for-nothings go to prison.

But at least, they aren't liars.

Every time I get out

and see you succeed in life

with more and more people respecting you,

I can't help but think how pretentious you are!

You make me sick.

"Life Outside the Box".

"How to Get Your Best Friends to Accept You?"

Do you really know what these words mean?

"Best Friends"?

"Accept You?"

Do you really know the meaning?

Aren't you ashamed at all when you act so wise

and coach other people's lives?

LIFE OUTSIDE THE BOX

Tell me what you want.

Well, since I'm already here,

money will do.

I'm not in a rush.

I'm planning to stay for a while.

I'm going to witness your downfall.

Sombut.

Happy birthday, buddy.

I hope you don't forget your roots.

Because they will come back to drag you down.

Then your family will be so humiliated that they will have nowhere to run to.

Do you need anything else, sir?

They are great actors.

They pretend to be kind people.

Oh, please.

If you are going to stand here

-and nitpick them, just go home. -Hey.

Be quiet. Learn to put on an act like those two.

-Act with you? -Hey.

Tell yourself first. Get rid of the evil look on your face.

Stop it already.

Look, here comes Tri.

Hi, Mom.

What did you do this time?

He acted like his dad.

Did he invite that graduate student?

Who's that?

Rit's graduate student.

Apparently, Rit's acquaintance has asked him to take special care of her.

Look at her sparkly eyes.

I hope Rit doesn't supervise her work in bed.

Don't walk away from me.

If you cheat on me, I will kill you both.

Isn't there anything to drink?

-Please excuse me. -Of course.

Sure.

One glass of red wine, please.

Thank you.

Hey, good evening.

-Have you forgotten our appointment? -No.

I'll see you in three days.

Okay. Don't forget.

Have you forgiven me?

No.

How do you expect me to forgive you?

You threw away a precious gem.

Where's Dad?

He's just like you.

He hides away in a corner. You both are the same.

Listen, Tri. I'm begging you.

Can you walk around and greet the guests?

Talk to people and make me proud.

Look at your aunt.

-She's smiling from ear to ear. -I heard about your trip.

Where are you going?

Even you said Penneung was better than me.

What do you expect me to do?

You are just like your dad.

Why are you such a loser? I didn't raise you this way.

You are useless.

We are going to Europe. It'd be great if you could come with us.

We will see.

It's Penneung.

Penneung did bring his girlfriend here.

Hello, Dad and Mom.

Hello, sir.

Penneung, we haven't seen each other for a few years,

but you already look like an experienced doctor.

He gets so proud every time he talks about you.

Happy birthday, Dad.

Mata has a present for you.

Happy birthday.

Here.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

But did you not tell him we weren't accepting presents,

only charity donations?

Charity donations? That's great. Let me contribute to the donations.

I almost forgot. I transferred you money. Nee wants to chip in too.

A hundred thousand baht each.

Thank you very much.

So? You can donate the amount you feel comfortable with.

Then I'll donate 1,000 baht.

Thank you.

Sure.

Who is this girl? Is she your girlfriend?

-She's a friend. -Yes.

The party might not be as fun as you think.

Leave if things don't go well.

Where's Mata, Mom?

What? Isn't she back yet?

Where did you take Mata?

Mata.

I've set you a nice path to walk down. If you don't follow the path,

you can leave and cut ties with me.
