Kong, Phiwit: When being hit by a car is not so bad

Go on, scoop him up!

The tumultuous road accident scene in Tomorrow, I'll Still Love You (พรุ่งนี้ก็รักเธอ) has finally arrived.

Phiwit is still being persecuted by his straight elder brother Phiphat.

Dastardly Phiphat turns up at his place, where Phiwit is giving shelter to his boyfriend Kong.

Phiphat can’t accept that his brother is gay – or, as he puts it, a sexual abnormality.

Kong hides upstairs, the encounter passes without incident. However, when they venture outside, Kong and Phiwit find Phiphat waiting for them in his car.

A fight ensures, and Kong and Phiwit run away. Phiphat chases them in his car.
The pair tries to make it across the road, but a car is coming.

Kong sees it, tries to get his lover Phiwit out the way, but ends up getting hit himself.

He bounces off the car onto the road, where after a brief body-roll towards the gutter comes into contact with broken shards of glass. His eyes are bleeding. Phiwit cradles his gay lover in his arms, distraught.

Kong is taken to hospital, where he undergoes surgery.

Phiwit calls Kaew, Kong’s sister, to tell her the news.

Kaew knows they are a couple, and has previously tried to force them apart.

She turns up at the hospital with her boss/lover Por.

Por and Kaew

They are the male/female leads in the show. It is good to see Por/Kaew, and supporting leads Kong/ Phiwit, connect.

Kaew blames Phiwit for the accident which has befallen her brother. An angry exchange follows.

‘This is why I don’t want you to be together!’

Phiwit begs her forgiveness, while Por tries to restrain her. In his eyes, she’s gone too far.

Teary hospital scenes follow...Phiwit holds his lover's hand as Kong, his eyes bandaged, recovers in his hospital bed.

Kong may have lost his eyesight, as the glass shards penetrated deeply into his eyes, says the doctor.

As they wait for news at hospital, Por and Por talk about the problems they share in common, in what was one of the best moments of last night’s show.

Por loves Kaew, but circumstances are always getting in the way. It’s love one moment, animosity the next.

Phiwit’s dilemma is the same. He loves Kong, but because they are gay, family members are trying to force them apart.

‘Kong has someone who loves him,’ says Phiwit, referring to Kaew, who does not want the gay relationship to continue.

‘But I will never give in... I will never consent to losing him.’

Por commends Phiwit’s strength.

‘To be forced apart when you love someone...just how far can you go?’

He says if he had shown the same courage earlier, he and Kaew could love each other now without problem.

‘Still, it’s never too late,’ says Phiwit, encouraging Por to press on.

It is a sweet scene. I liked seeing Por talking reassuringly to Phiwit, who is worried about his gay lover.

Por is straight, but does not judge him. Phiwit can see Por’s problems in the same dispassionate light.

Cut to the hospital bed, and it’s time for the big unveiling. The doctor peels away Kong’s eye gauze. How is his eyesight?

Kong is a gay boy at heart. In his first remark, he compliments his mother on her choice of dress.

Obviously, he can still see. However, his eyesight keeps going fuzzy...maybe he is not so right after all.

The series continues next Monday.

Watch the action here, here, and here (links harvested - they died).

In the first clip, Kong and Phiwit share a cute scene over a cup of tea. Phipat arrives, drama ensues. They leave the condo, only to find him lying in wait outside. Phiphat gives chase. Kong gets hit by a car.

In the second clip, Phiwit calls Kaew to tell her about the accident. At the hospital, they argue.

The doctor warns Kong’s family that the patient may not see again. Por and Phiwit talk about the problems they have in common, and Phiwit comforts his lover by his hospital bed.

In the third clip, the doctor removes Kong’s eye gauze. He can see, and his eye wounds have miraculously healed. However, Kong's eyesight still blurs out every few minutes. Is it a permanent condition? Will he tell anyone, or suffer heroically in silence?
