An apt ending for a controversial topic

A challenging subject matter to tackle i.e. euthanasia, but nicely executed by the author, scriptwriter, director and the actors. The story was generally well-written, with a couple of misgivings.

Firstly, I thought that the loveline between the two senior doctors was not needed to bring across the two opposing views on the topic i.e. is it murder or mercy (Somsak, Boss and lady Doctor's scenes were sufficient, and the character Boss showed just how thin that line was). Secondly, I was thoroughly confused at the beginning over some of Tew's actions and he came across as very inconsistent in his feelings towards Kan. I cannot understand how a person like Tew, with a lot of pride in his work in law and order, can continue to be suspicious of someone that he is genuinely attracted to. Lastly, Kan's decision to shoot Boss was somewhat inconsistent with the character he portrayed in the last scene who had firm conviction that what he was doing was right and that society was simply not ready for it yet and that he was prepared to stand by it. I could only interpret it as a moment of folly driven by his fear of losing Tew at that point in their relationship, which was just starting out.

Besides these three points of dissonance for me, I was impressed by the acting of the main leads and supporting cast (special mention to the actor playing Kan and the actress playing nurse Orn), story-telling was well-paced with a smooth flow and clear logic (especially liked the foreshadowing at the very beginning when Tew killed the goat to relief it from its misery), there was sufficient focus on fleshing out the topic (the flashbacks and different viewpoints of family, care-givers and the patients themselves), and I thought they wrapped up the series with a well designed ending, which was my favourite scene of the entire series. The OST was also perfect and matched the tone of the series.

The MLs' delivery in the last scene was amazing. Kan torn between his beliefs and the hurt he knows it would inflict on Tew, the mixture of guilt and conviction, love and betrayal, and Kan's final resignation as he left his fate in Tew's hands knowing that it would be his final act of love. And that hug! That was what made me finally believe without a doubt that Tew loved Kan. Almost shed a tear there. In a way, I think this was the only satisfactory way to end the series i.e. for Tew to enforce the law but still stand by his love.

Overall a really enjoyable watch with strong acting chops, a decent storyline and a heart-tugging OST.
