Why is ‘love’ so powerful?

Lately, I have been watching a lot of Asian dramas -prolly because of quarantine . While watching, I came across this Thai drama series titled ‘The Theory of Love’.

Apparently, it is a ‘BL’ drama – Boy’s Love, where the main protagonists are both males in a romantic relationship.

This drama particularly talks about the one-sided love of Third to Khai (the main characters of the story). Khai, your typical play boy, changes girls like changing his clothes, apparently is bestfriends with Third, which helps settle things for him and his girlfriends. Third, on the other hand is hiding his affections for Khai hence, he isn’t aware of Third’s feelings for him.

While helping Khai in his relationships with his girlfriends, Third always cries and is hurting but still proceeds to help Khai  for 3 LONG YEARS (that’s the plot tho)

Watching this, I began to question love. Is it really that powerful ? That you’d do anything for someone who isn’t even aware of your feelings ? and then you’ll just be there in the corner silently and secretly hurting ? Even if you’d want to give up, but you just can’t because you love that person too much ?

so ayun nga, yung kahit na andaming mali sakanya, punong-puno ng red flags, hahanap at hahanap ka parin ng isang magandang bagay sakanya para mag-stay andami nang nagsasabi na dapat ka nang lumayo pero hindi pinapakinggan kase nga mahal mo siya. mahal mo siya pero ikaw mismo na nasa harap na niya hindi niya pa makita

i’ll continue in tagalog na kase i can’t na in english 

sakit diba ?

‘mahal ko eh’  – sagot sa bawat tanong na ‘bakit’

bakit hindi mo pa iwan ? – mahal ko eh. bakit hindi mo pa sukuan ? – mahal ko eh. bakit hindi ka napapagod ? – mahal ko eh. bakit ? mahal mo ?, mahal mo nga pero yung sabihin mismo yung mga katagang yon sa kanya ni hindi mo nga magawa ? mahal mo ?

kaya bilib na bilib ako sa pagmamahal eh. daming kayang gawin, daming kayang pa-ikutin, daming kayang paligayahin pero marami ring kayang saktan

like hello ? napaka- double edged sword kaya ng love . pero andami paring nagpapaka tanga kahit na ang daming red flags na yung obvious.

me is saying this kase i did stupid things too for love back then and thinking about it rn, nakakatawa HAHAHAHA im rlly laughing at myself kase hindi ko lubis maisip na nakaya kong gawin ang isang bagay para sa isang tao na iiwan rin pala ako in the end

okay hanggang dito nlgg muna yung drama 

until tomorrow
