Girl Rules Ep. 11 | Full Length Reaction

For last episode and this episode, I was also siding with you when it came to the Prim and Min’s conflict storyline. It’s is refreshing to see a friendship being highlighted by a having a drama and growing stronger from it. For Prim and Bambi, they had always been a toxic couple but they had worked out enough that we can understand why they are so drawn to each other. Surface level, they had actually grown and resolve every issue they encountered (even if it took time) but mentally, they never did. That is the core last issue and to fix that they need to spend apart individually and let time heal themselves. Great episode! See ya at the finale

It's always interesting how many opinions this show kicks up. Here is my two cents on each : 1. Obviously Prim/Bambi have sparked up the most opinions. I think the break-up is good for them, but Bambi's reasoning in that moment probably is not right. What they both need to say to each other is "I love you, and I know you love me, but we are not able to make healthy choices for ourselves or each other till we become independently happy. And we both need to learn to love ourselves more then we love each other so we can give each other a better/healthier version of ourselves." I'm not sure either of them is in the mental headspace to think that rationally in this moment, so a time jump would make the most sense. I have doubts the show has enough time left to fully develop that, so it will be interesting to see how the writers handle it. 2. The Prim/Min controversy. Min was being too sensitive and Prim was being insensitive. I think the show handled the fight okay given time constraints. Once they are forced to sit down and talk to each other more rationally than emotionally they worked it out. Fairly realistic of how friendships can be, just a little expedited. 3. I think most people watching can agree Shasha/Gorya are on the right page for a successful relationship. I think all it's going to take for Shasha to resolve this is for her to say to her mother to back off or she's cutting her off financially. It would be lovely if she could say to her mom, I'd like to have more of a relationship with you and if you want to do that it would be great. But I'm an adult who's been successful without you, I'm going to make my own choices. It'd be nice for Shasha if her mom would back off that they could work on the relationship. But it's highly unlikely, and what I think will happen is Shasha will threaten her financially and she will run back to where she came from. 4. Min/Praew they are kind of a wild card as far as if their relationship will work out long term. I think they are doing okay figuring things out. I think it's realistic that the show has kind of portrayed them as being up and down in the relationship. It makes sense since they are both kind of newbies at this. I hope the show kind of leaves them as it is. Not perfect but working through things together in a relatively healthy way. Can't wait till next week to see how everything works out.

2 words when it comes to Bambi: Self Sabotage.

Coming from someone who has struggled with mental health issues in their past— Bambi seems to be suffering and in a really dark place in her life that i don’t think can be fixed by just prim or any one person other than herself (and her therapist) IMO. I’m actually very grateful they are showing scenes btw a character and their therapist and tbh I wish they would show even more interactions btw them bc that’s real life sh*t! I think the more we normalize therapy the better off we will be bc when it comes to therapy and asking for help…there’s nothing to be ashamed of!! (Esp MEN) Men def need to see more positive representation so they feel more comfortable going to get help/therapy bc lord knows they need it lol. Also, praew’s friends suck. Thats just my opinion. Maybe it’s just my age but all those questions pressuring her into labeling herself is lame af.

I have read in the comment section of the Last part of ep 11 that Bambi has bipolar disorder and has ptsd. That would explain a lot!!

I love reading and writing comments; I feel like we're all in college doing discussion boards on topics we actually like LOL. Took the words out of my mouth about Bambi. I do hope that the NY decision is really for herself, and not running away from her problems. It was no secret that this relationship is the most unstable out of the 3. I saw this comment on reddit, and hadn't realized, but I do see that Prim gives codependent vibes for Bambi, which is also unhealthy. "I'll move to NY with you, I've always wanted to study there" NO! I hope Prim also realizes the shit the Bambi went through, and respect that she still needs time and healing to process her trauma. I agree that it would be realistic if there was some sort of time jump in the finale to actually see Bambi work on herself, find herself, and love herself so that she is ready to have that relationship she's wanted with Prim. Yeah this show isn't top 2026 GLs, but I agree the show does bring out topics that aren't the norm in other dramas, so I love hearing and reading people's thoughts on this show. Sad it'll be over, but hey! That means ya'll will start US soon? Hehehe.

I’m just so impressed by the way Film is portraying trauma and depression. This episode really blew me away.

the ACTING!!! top notch ladies

good for bambi for choosing herself, and hopefully she gets her healing she needs

I kind of think Bambi over thinking got stronger since she hasn't had her pills. idk it seems like she gotten worst without them.

There may be a lot of things to say on both sides of the argument about Bambi's decision. But honestly, rational arguments aside, i cannot believe what a *stellar* job this show is doing to show what guilt, self-hatred, and depression do to a person?? It's NOT rational. It's NOT selfless. It is drowning in a whirlpool of thoughts that you can't control, and that is exactly what we're seeing happen with Bambi. She's totally incapable of accepting that it isn't her fault that Prim and Min fought, no matter what rational arguments people give her. I mean, GOD, that moment where she brings Prim to meet Min, and she's watching them outside, only for the smile to fade from her face when she realizes that she's still not happy even after fixing them? The way she's convinced herself that everyone else is better off without her? Makes my heart ACHE 😭💔Film is absolutely CRUSHING this role too. In a backwards kind of way though, it does mean that breaking up with Prim is the right thing to do. It's just that she's convinced herself it's for Prim's sake, when it actually should be for her own. She *needs* to find her self-worth again before she can possibly commit to anyone else. She needs to get to a place where she isn't questioning if it's her fault every time something goes wrong. She needs to ditch her fuckass therapist and talk to someone who will actually help her 😅 Atp, i wonder if they will actually get back together or not. The more interesting story would be that they don't, but also, idk how tf they would ever get over each other. Equally though, idk if they could ever be healthy together. I'm really curious to see how they resolve the story, and i'm *praying* it won't be a let-down, because i've been #1 Bambi defender this entire show just waiting for this juiciness, and i really need a satisfying conclusion. Keeping my fingers crossed anyway. I'm glad to see Shasha and Gorya didn't let the mum dig her claws in too deep before they started pushing back; i was really worried Gorya's character was mid-assassination, but she's still feisty as always, just a little toned down to try to be respectful. I'm glad S & G are talking realistically about her intentions, and are on the same page about her. Can't wait to see her get kicked to the curb next ep 😅 I like that Min and Praew seem to have found a healthy-ish dynamic for now, but i'm ALWAYS on edge with them 😂 IDK whether i'm just so brain-washed by the tropes, but everything they do makes me terrified that Min's about to gay-panic and harshly break Praew's heart 😂 But they're really building an actual LIFE, not just a fun time. Their plot is actually pretty interesting too now that i think about it. We've never seen this dynamic before in GL, where the "bottom" (if that's what we're even calling her) really takes the lead in the relationship as the one with experience, and the "Top" is being supported and protected. IDK it may not be the messy Thai L word, but i think the show is taking small steps towards new ways to rep queer women in Thai media. It iisn't the show that i was expecting by any means, but i think i'm enjoying it a lot, for new reasons.

Bambi is definitely deep in depression. Irrational fears and thoughts are some of her biggest demons right now. She can’t see past them. Ultimately, it is probably a good idea for her to step back and work on her mental health. However, poor Prim doesn’t understand that.

I don’t really read comments, so hearing them say people were on Min’s side is crazy to me. The fact is they had a schedule for the previous week. The clients have to honor that. If it wasn’t a vacation, what if Prim had other projects she was doing that week? And for Bambi, my read is this: Bambi has always been reliant on Prim’s happiness for her own. As exemplified in the Bucket list conversation, her only desire has been Prim’s happiness. Now that she’s on the road of healing from her guilt, and growing a bit, she’s coming face to face with that reality. It didn’t use to bother her before because she could always just buy things to be happy. She’s growing and realizing that’s not enough. Now that she only has sadness, she’s feeling like she’s the one dragging prim down. In a way she is because really they’re both very co-dependent on each other. Hopefully these came out right…I tried to keep it short…

Love your reactions. Sorry you got some flak on the work life balance conversation. I agree with you. And this whole argument is because Prim is on vacation, what if she was working on another project. About Prim/Bambi, they need to communicate. Prim is not making an effort to build a future with Bambi. She is sweeping the problem under the rug like you said hoping it will solve it self. She needs to talk to Bambi. And Bambi needs to stop making decisions for both of them About Sasha's mom, I am with you up to a point. When its too toxic, its ok for Sasha to distance her self. And I agree with you in how Gorya is handling it. She is doing really great in this situation. As for Min/Praew - They are a confusing couple . We dont have much of a story on Praew and may be thats why it feels confusing. But Min needs to come to terms with the fact that she is rebuilding herself and she needs the support and its not on her to fix it all. Talk to Prim that it takes both of them to run the company, talk to Praew that she needs to vent sometimes and needs guidance sometimes. She does not have to do it alone. Her family is not there to support her but she can lean on her friends and she does not have to get to this level of frustration to quit.

As much as i want the 3 couple end up together, maybe its better for Bambi and Prim to have time for their self, Bambi need to forgive herself and stop blaming herself for what happened in the past she need time to heal, time heals everything, Prim although she love Bambi very much i don't like the fact that she get back to her because she feel guilty of what happened to Bambi. They need to communicate and settle the unfinished and the problem to work their relationship better and compromise also.

You are 100% correct about the Prim/Min controversy, M&D. Min has her identity all wrapped up in her career. When it comes to unexpected and non-contracted decisions, human relationships must always take precedence over money-making activities. I can't believe you're taking heat for your stand on this. I'm completely with you and support you. Prim/Bambi are just a mess at this point. As a person with a history of leaving for the same reasons, I can tell you that Bambi likes that noble-feeling pain of self-sacrifice a little too much. She really did choose herself, in the sense that she went with what gratifies her at the expense of the pain the people who care about her will feel when she leaves. View/Min are starting to gel, but I realized this episode that View's identity issues run deep. Until she admits who she is and accepts what she has to change, she'll never move forward. I like where Shasha/Gorya are at this point, but Shasha's mom is clearly unable to accept that her daughter has grown up and can make her own decisions. I enjoyed your discussion of this, M&D, but I can't agree that family must always take precedence over other people. I think you'd have a different answer if, for example, Shasha had been adopted by other parents because her birth mother was exploiting her. Would you still agree with Gorya that she should keep trying with her birth mother? That kind of filial piety is not a reason; it's a religion. I've been loving this series, especially with your frank and friendly commentary and personal stories. I did get a little worried about Meesh's smile when she talked about killing you, Dee. :P God bless you both!

I feel like with Bambi it’s that depression and it can be so self destructive. She has everything she wanted but still can’t find that happiness and is almost trying to search for a reason and picking anything and destroying what she has because she is just so desperate to feel at peace. Her character is so complex to me it’s really sad

imo Bambi has done nothing wrong since Airy blew up on her...

I think for Prim and Bambi there will be a time jump because we all know all Thai GL have happy endings. So a time jump is what makes sense.

I think prim and Bambi should not be together, bambi is depressed she needs to focus on her mental health and self love before trying to find hapiness, and prim is highly dependent on bambi which is not healthy and super toxic both of them needs to work on themselves mentally before atempting a relationship with each other or someone else.

there is a gl poll where is it i haven't seen it?
