Safe Zone - Final Episode

We start with a flashback going back to the time after graduation, where Lin prepared to secretly study abroad; we learn that she didn’t really want to go, but she had a prestigious scholarship. Yet, she couldn’t tell Jane. Back in the now, Jane awakes alone in her bed and searches for Lin. Tuk tells her she’s gone home, then she notices the ring she’s wearing. Jane tells her it’s from Lin, and she’s going to marry her. Tuk congratulates her after waiting for so long, and Jane tells her that Lin was her first love and will be her last one. Then, she walks over to Lin’s and tells her she misses her. She proposes to pick out rings that day, because the daisy she is wearing will wilt soon. But Lin wants to talk to her first, because the got a job offer from New York, for a fashion magazine called “Mode Muse”. But she hasn’t decided whether to accept that offer, as she wanted to talk to her first. But Jane doesn’t want to talk and goes home. Tuk comes over to Aom carrying some snacks and want to know whether Lin told her yet, but Aom is completely oblivious. She tells Aom that they’re going to be a family soon, and Aom is okay if it’s Jane that Lin has chosen – she’s better that anyone she’s can think of, including Kate. But as Jane walks past the without a word, but with a stern look on her face, Tuk follows her. Jane tells Tuk that a fashion magazine from New York reached out to Lin and that Lin asked her about it, but she said nothing in reply. She doesn’t want her to go, but admits that it is a big opportunity for Lin. She’s afraid that if she lets her go, Lin will disappear again. On that note, Tuk goes to the storage room and brings out a box containing all the letters Lin sent her – which Tuk hid to not upset Jane again. We get a flashback of Tuk talking to Lin on the phone as she couldn’t reach Jane, but Tuk doesn’t want her to call on her, if she doesn’t return to Thailand – as she’s still heartbroken, and crying all the time. In the now, Tuk confesses to talked Lin out of contacting her, because she felt bad for Jane. She apologizes for it and Jane just hugs tightly. Meanwhile, Aom talks to Lin; Lin tells her about the job offer, and that this is the news she’d been hoping for ever since she came back - but now, she’s happy in Bangkok, to be home, to be with her mother, and to be with Jane. Aom guesses that she already made her decision. Jane looks through the stack of magazines, letters and birthday cards from Lin and realizes that it wasn’t Lin who stopped talking, it was her. But Tuk was scared that Lin wouldn’t come back, that she would hurt Jane again. But now, she’s sure that wherever Lin will go she will remain committed to her. Then, it rings, and Tuk goes to let Lin in; she tells her that she just found out she never told Jane about her interference. Than, she leaves with Aom. Upon entering, Lin gets a hug from Jane, thanking her for never forgetting her, but Lin admits that she always meant the world to her. She was the closest person to her when they were friends; she can’t decide whether she just liked being around her, or whether she was already in love back then. Jane admits that never loved anyone but Lin, and as she confesses that she keeps falling in love with her, Lin kisses her. Then, she realizes that Jane is looking at her letters, and Jane tells her that Tuk kept all of them. Then, Jane tells her that she’s okay with taking the New York job – but Lin wonders how could she stay away from her and call her a little ball of joy. Ban and Pete are wondering if Jane will return soon to the restaurant, and mock her behavior as Tim arrives. He asks about Jane, but doesn’t want to talk to him, as he’s meeting someone else here. It’s Kate, and he tells her he’s giving up on Jane, but Kate still wants to talk to Lin. Kate goes over to Lin and Jane, and thanks Lin for once loving her, it was the best time of her life – and she returns the ring she was carrying. She tells her she wanted to try everything to get her back, but realized it was futile one she saw her looking at Jane – there was no way Lin would look at anyone else ever again. On that note, Jane smiles, then leaves for the restaurant. Kate asks Lin if they can still be friends. After a silly little bit where Pete and Bam want to tell her that Lin’s ex visited the restaurant and Tim while Tim is standing there, she asks Tim whether she had brought Kate here and to the resort as well, and he admits it. Jane maintains that she always told him that they were never going to happen – not because he isn’t good enough, but because she already loves someone else. He wants to know whether he should give up – but Jane tells him he was never in competition with Lin, whom she always loved. Then, Tim wants to talk about Pie, who confessed to hiring the guy that threw the rock and to targeting her with the car at Lin’s photoshoot. The police are investigating her for several cases of fraud, and will issue an arrest warrant. She asks him to take care of it, then goes to prepare the food for the day. After another silly bit with Pete and Bam, Lin picks Jane up at the restaurant, as she misses her. Jane argues that they were together earlier, but Lin confesses that she misses her the moment she turns around. Jane argues that someone is crazy in love – but it her, she admits. Lin reminisces about the time she returned to Thailand, back the she had nothing, but today is completely different story: she’s still unemployed, but genuinely happy, she’s found real happiness with Jane. She’s happy her, so she will not move back to New York. Job offers will come eventually, and in the meantime, she will support Jane’s restaurant with her food photography . She discloses that her original NYC contract got cancelled because her photos had become stale – but upon returning to Thailand, and especially by photographing Jane, she got her grove back, and the agencies noticed that. Jane thinks that all her own doing, but Lin claims the Jane has no idea how lucky Lin is to have her. So, she declines the offer. Then, Jane gives her a real diamond ring. Lin talks about marriage, but Jane doesn’t want a wedding, or so she claims. Some time later, Tuk acts shifty and claims she doesn't know where Aon and Lin went. So, Jane is alone for hours and even her staff doesn’t want her to come to the restaurant. They can barely keep the secret they are obviously hiding. Then, Jane gets a big box delivered, and inside is a white dress with a note from Alin: “Let’s get some pictures”. They get each other ready for the photo shoot … … which looks like a wedding, but Lin claims it’s not and she just wanted to do something for her. But of course, it *is* a wedding, an official one, and Lin states for the off that from now on, they will wake up next to each other every morning, and fall asleep in each other arms every night, making every minute together full of happiness. They’ll be everything to each other, with every breath they take. Some time later – we’re now in the epilogue section – Jane make food for them, and as it’s their birthday (apparently Lin and Jane share a birthday, like Lena and Miu), they each have gift for each other. Lin gives Jane a butterfly necklace, and Jane gives Lin a birthday cake – and the news that they are adopting. Some more time later, Aom and Tuk are having their hands full babysitting their granddaughter Jin. Finally, she’s hungry and want to eat mommie’s five-spice eggs. Lin arrives home and the grandma’s are happy that she takes Jin to the restaurant instead of them. Jin wants to wear a white dress like her mommies did for their wedding, and they promise to give her their dresses so that she can choose one of them when she has someone who means the world to her. They seal the promise with their three pinkies and Jin goes off to play with Bam and Pete. The series ends by Jane claiming she always knew that waiting for Lin would be worth it, and Lin claiming it turns out that happiness is really simple, and an off-commentary by Lin saying that she doesn’t have to chase after happiness anymore, because it’s right there with her, always. ___ This finale deflated all the drama into nothing, and it was just one long stretch of happiness, but in the end, all they needed to do was to talk for once about their feelings. Everything else was just background noise. I seriously question the storytelling of “My Safe Zone” that repeatedly built big obstacles for Lin and Jane only to tear them down at first notice or claiming them not that big a deal. The episode felt padded, nay, bloated, and the series as a whole was IMHO only sightly better than Only You” because it a) was shorter, b) the intimacy scenes didn’t feel awkward or forced and c) the chemistry between Mui and Lena.. That said, Channel 3 should hire better writers or adapt a novel like they did with “The Secret of Us” (no ideal GL by a longshot, but the best of Channel 3’s own GLs so far). I’m giving “My Safe Zone” a 7/10 or a C in U.S. letter grades. I'm looking forward to their next project "Plz love", based on a novel, though.

you should really watch heart code honestly it’s in my top 10 the story is captivating and it’s never boring
