Are you afraid that she is following you?
No.
Don't be paranoid. Min left a while ago.
Why do you keep bringing her up?
You are funny.
I never knew you were such a loser.
I'm not!
Stop worrying so much.
I won't tell anyone.
You won't tell anyone.
How will Min find out?
Ken, if you keep acting like a wuss,
I'm going to go home.
Don't act like this is your first time.
LOVE STRUCK
-Wow! Oh, my god! -Wow! Oh, my god!
Why is Pat so into Ken anyways?
-Right. -It's obvious. She's an easy girl.
-I don't understand. -Doesn't the guy have a girlfriend?
If it were you, would you do it?
They are just dating. It's not like they are married.
If he can dump his girl for you, he can dump you for someone else, too.
Aren't you afraid that he'll dump you for someone else?
Hey, do you mean that's going to happen to me? You're so mean, Mint!
What's up?
The TV show Love Struck.
-Is it really that popular? -Yes.
People all over school are talking about it.
-Have you watched it? -Yes.
-How is it? -It's good.
So, what's up with your new song? When can I hear it?
There isn't much progress yet.
Jom hasn't sent me the drum patterns yet.
He is studying in Chiang Mai right now.
It's so hard to get anything done.
Especially now that...
I see that the guy who ditched us is trying to hit on a girl.
I can't take it.
Let's go and mess with him.
That's the principal's office. It's a very scary place.
When people get caught smoking, they--
-Hey, Pop. -Hey.
Why didn't you show up last night?
Last night?
Oh, man. I'm sorry.
I didn't forget, though.
I was watching Love Struck to get some ideas for my own show.
I can't miss it.
You like that TV series so much that you ditched us?
I'm not addicted to it. I just have to watch it.
Everybody is watching it, right?
It's true. Don't be mad at Pop.
You must be new here.
You don't know my friend like I do.
My friend is a sketchy, untrustworthy kind of guy.
You had better not fall for him.
I won't fall for him.
Whoever believes my brother is just stupid.
This is my younger sister, Kanompang. She's entering tenth grade this year.
-Your sister? -Yes.
Pang, the short guy is Tar.
-Hi. -The guy who looks depressed is Mhog.
-Hello. -Hi.
Watch it. I'll break your glasses.
Wait a second.
Your name is Pop.
Your sister's name is Kanompang.
It doesn't make sense.
Pop stands for Popcorn.
Don't tell anyone, okay?
Don't tell anybody.
-No worries, Popcorn. -We won't tell anyone. No one will know.
Nobody will call you Popcorn.
-Nobody. -Popcorn who?
That song sounds familiar.
It really is.
Get a hold of yourself, dude.
Don't even act all shy.
Tar, can I take a picture with you?
My old school has a lot of See Scape fans.
I want to show the picture to my friends.
Sure.
One, two...
One more, please.
One, two...
What a sweet smile.
I like your music. I can't wait to hear your new song.
Thank you.
Pop, I've got to go now.
See you.
Bye.
Hey, Tar.
-That's for how you smiled. -You okay?
I saw that.
Take it easy.
You know what,
this year, a lot of guys will want to get close to you.
Sure! Come on.
Anybody who wants to. Come on. So I can kick their ass.
-Really? -Want to give it a try?
-You? -No, I would rather call you Popcorn.
I say Pop, you say corn.
-Popcorn. -Popcorn.
-Pop... -Damn!
This isn't funny.
-Bye. -See you, Popcorn.
See you later.
Oh, he's cute.
He's cool.
Look...
Have some snacks.
-Okay. -Are you hungry?
Ladies, I have a question.
When did you girls click "like" on my Mr. Ex's fan page?
I just clicked "like" on it yesterday.
But Elle clicked "like" before he was even on TV.
-Really. -See?
I told you I have an eye for these things.
I liked him even before he was popular.
-All right. -All right.
We know you're cool.
He's having a signing event at Paragon this afternoon.
-Really? -Let's go!
-Let's go together. -Okay.
I can't. I made plans with my mom.
Seriously?
Can you ask your mom if you can go to this?
Right.
No way. Ever since the Big Mountain concert,
my mom has been way stricter.
So much stricter.
Speak of the devil. She's calling.
Hello.
I'm with my friends.
Yes, this afternoon.
In front of the school.
Okay. Bye.
She reminded me that she's picking me up.
Your mom is too harsh on you.
Don't you get frustrated?
Yes, do you?
No worries, Dao. Give me your notebook.
I'll get his autograph for you.
I will have him write in big letters,
"To Dao, my twinkling star."
Does that sound good?
-All over your notebook. -It can't be bigger mine.
I will have him sign the entire page!
Let her have this.
-Deal? -Fine.
This scene drives me crazy. Look!
Oh, my gosh!
Look!
Look! Look here.
Who do you think you are, taking this picture with Ken, my man?
Excuse you.
-Jealous? -Very much.
My mom's friend owns this magazine. She asked me to do it for fun.
You sure?
Yes.
Is this really you?
Yes, why?
You look better in the pictures.
I think so, too.
Stop it.
So, the rumor about
Mr. Ex, or Ken, asking for your number, is that true?
Really?
That is not true.
He said he would invite me to be cast in a new TV series.
So, I gave him my number. That's all.
Was that the real reason?
It better be.
Don't even go there.
He's cute, but...
he's not my type.
Okay, beautiful.
Gorgeous little bitch.
But, honestly.
He's such a hot guy.
Wouldn't you do him just once?
If I were you, I definitely would.
Hey, give me a second. I'll be back.
Where are you going?
-That's none of your business. -Stop being so nosy.
Let's look through this.
Phai.
Hi, Sprite.
Why are you studying so hard? Today is just the first day.
I failed math. My grades got really low.
I see.
If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me.
I can help you.
No, that's okay.
I don't want to bother you.
Thanks.
Okay. I'll see you around then.
Okay.
Sorry about yesterday. My phone died all of a sudden.
I think my battery is old.
Don't start.
You forgot to charge your phone, so it died.
When the battery died, you got sleepy.
While your phone was charging up, you fell asleep.
You know me well. You always get me.
So, did you do the Love Struck characters quiz I sent you?
I did.
-It said I was like the old lady. -What?
Those who made that quiz must be crazy.
Who's the old lady?
-There is no old lady. -What?
-The quiz must be fake. -My result was worse.
-It said I was like Mr. Winai. -For real?
It's not funny.
Then, Phao took the quiz right after I finished.
When he watched the series, he had to hide from our mom.
After he finished the quiz, he also had to delete it.
-If Mom knew, she wouldn't let him watch. -I feel bad for him.
But Love Struck is a bit too graphic for his age.
Phao is still a bit too young.
It's too bad he already likes that series.
The more you say no, the more curious kids get.
That's true.
-Toei. -Yes?
Let's have lunch together.
Well, okay.
I like eating with you. I get to eat a lot.
If you enjoy my company, why don't you be my girlfriend?
Go. Go to your band practice already.
Go to your band room.
I will see you at noon then.
Okay.
TWELFTH GRADE
Hey, Ball.
Who messed up this time?
No, it's not what you think.
It's about Ball.
What about you?
You went home to Hat Yai and didn't bring any snacks for us?
Is food all you think about?
Of course I brought some for everyone.
They're in the band room.
That's what I'm talking about!
I didn't have breakfast today
to save my appetite for your snacks.
That's such a lie. You ate with me in the cafeteria a while ago.
-You liar. -Who? Me?
-Yes, you. -You must have the wrong guy. Try again.
-Ready for lunch? -Yes.
-Did you get thinner? -Let's go.
-You need to eat. -I'll make you fat.
Hey, did you watch Love Struck last night?
Love Struck?
It's so intense.
What is it about?
Do you know the real story...
-Hi, Kwan. -Hi, Mhog.
What did you do for summer break?
Nothing in particular. How about you?
I just watched one TV series during the entire break, Love Struck.
-Did you watch it? -No, I didn't.
But I heard a lot of people talking about it since this morning.
-You too? -It's pretty good.
I think the characters are interesting.
The story is written well.
They always leave you hanging before each commercial break.
Really?
I'm not surprised you want to take Communication Arts.
Actually, I'm still not sure
whether I should study Communications or Dentistry.
They are so different.
You should keep researching about both of your options.
I heard that the Faculty of Dentistry
has a dentist-to-be camp every year.
As for Communications Arts,
I can teach you how to take photos, so you can see if you like it.
Really?
-You would do that for me? -Yes.
Thanks.
No worries. Just let me know.
Okay. I will get back to you.
Nerve cells or neurons
are separated into three types. Do you remember?
I remember.
There are unipolar neurons...
LOVE STRUCK
-Unipolar neurons... -Stop peeking!
-How can I answer you, then? -Min.
There you are.
Ms. Pisamai is looking for you.
She wants to talk to you about scholarships or something.
Really?
I'll go talk to the teacher.
I'll be back.
Don't go anywhere.
-See you. -Hurry back, okay?
I know.
Thanks.
Tar, here is your milk.
You forgot to drink it again.
I was just about to.
You watch this TV show, too?
You have heard of this show, too?
Of course.
It was on the news this afternoon.
It has a lot of sex scenes.
Can I watch it with you?
No, Mom. You watch it in your room.
Don't watch it in here.
-Let me watch it with you. -No.
-I want to. -No.
I want to see if there are really a lot of sex scenes.
-Don't watch it here. Go watch it alone. -I'm just worried.
Let me watch it with you.
LOVE STRUCK
Oh, wow.
Is that how bad things are nowadays?
Mom, that is nothing compared to what is really going on.
So, are you also doing things like that with anybody?
What? Of course not. Who would I do that with?
-Tell me the truth. -I am.
That's good. I just want to tell you,
that as a man,
you should not treat a girl like that.
You should always treat her with respect.
Mom, not everybody is doing this kind of thing.
It's a TV show. It's geared towards a certain audience.
So, what kind of audience are you?
I'm part of the audience that isn't doing it, of course.
-I don't even have a girlfriend. -And if you do?
If I did have one, I wouldn't do that.
I wouldn't do that.
Why all the questions? You said you would just watch.
-Go back to your room then. -I want to watch a little more.
-No. You already watched too much. -Just a little more.
It's not good for your eyes.
-Come on, back to your room. -Fine.
Making headlines today is the TV series Love Struck.
Recently, a number of academics have come out to analyze
why this TV show is such a runaway success.
The consensus is because this series
dares to present the hardcore realities of teen sex.
The sex scene that came out last week
that featured two teenagers wearing uniforms
and having sex in the back seat of a car is in question.
Let's discuss today's topic...
Are TV stations so afraid of bad ratings
that they produce this tasteless content to get our attention?
Dao.
Yes, Mom?
Have you ever watched this series?
No, I haven't.
Please open the blinds now.
-This was the first time I've watched it. -Really?
I told you. I had never watched it before.
Guys.
I didn't let you watch it just for fun.
Now tell me what you have learned from it.
There isn't enough space in a car.
You see?
It's that kind of thinking that worries adults.
Does anyone have a more sensible answer?
Yes, Kwan.
Communication makes a difference, especially in this generation
where everything can be forwarded easily.
The moment something happens, everybody finds out about it.
That's an interesting answer.
This is what might happen to you all, okay?
Hold it. Hold on.
Your assignment first.
I want all of you
to write an essay based on what you learned from watching this show.
Focus on what you learned about human behavior.
Everyone must come up with an essay.
Just one page long.
Some of your topics might overlap, but do not copy each other's ideas.
Okay?
Class dismissed.
Okay.
TWELFTH GRADE
Hey, where are we going next?
-Hey. -Where are you going? Home?
-I knew it. -You are so annoying.
-How disappointing. -Are you annoyed at my friend?
Fine. Let's go home, then.
You know, last night,
my mom and I watched Love Struck for the first time.
When it was over, my mom started screaming.
She kept asking me if everything on that show happens in real life.
I didn't know what to say to my mom.
-Does your mom watch the show? -Yes.
Your mom is conservative.
After my mom finished watching the first episode,
she couldn't help but watch the next three.
She kept going on
about how things that were shown were bad or wrong.
She kept going nonstop. I got confused.
Your mom isn't so bad, though.
My mom won't allow me to watch it anymore.
She said it's a bad influence.
-Really? -Yes.
I think you should tell your mom to keep watching.
Some episodes are okay.
What do you mean by okay?
Some are insightful.
Toei.
Just a second.
You don't have to walk me home today.
I know. It's your mom's birthday.
I know. I just dropped by to give you this.
I see.
Use it when your battery is dying.
-Thank you. -That's it.
I'm going to go to practice.
-Okay. -I'll call you when I'm done.
Bye.
-What's up with that? -What?
He came all the way to see you.
-Are you guys together? -What?
No, we're not.
Well...
We are friends, but...
I have a lot to figure out.
Are you thinking too much?
It's not like that.
Think about it this way.
When you are with Phu,
are you happy?
Well...
Yes.
If you are happy,
that should be enough.
You are right.
Okay. I have to go.
Okay.
Bye.
Phai, hurry. I'm already done.
I just finished.
What's the rush?
-Hey, man. Wait up. -Hurry up.
-What? -Man. Wait up.
Shit. I'm done.
-Hurry. -I'm done.
I'm done with this shit.
-Hi. -Hey.
Hi.
Mod, let's go.
Yes, let's go.
Phai, see you. Good luck.
-See you. -I'm going.
-Later. -Bye.
Bye.
Phai, I took down notes during the lecture for you.
If you don't understand anything, just let me know.
Okay.
I'll go then. I am meeting up with Kwan.
Thanks, Sprite.
See you. Bye.
Bye.
PROPERTY OF EQUALITY
IF THIS IS TOO HARD, TAKE A BREAK AND HAVE SOME MILK
Hey, Tar!
Hey.
What's wrong? Why do you look sad?
Nothing. I'm fine.
So, you didn't go home with Pop?
I am going bowling with Oil today.
This is my friend, Oil.
Oh, hi.
Bowling?
Are you serious? You like to bowl?
I like it, but I'm not good at it.
But I have good form.
Do you want to go with us?
It helps relieve stress.
-Good job, right? -You got lucky.
-Watch this. -Come on!
-Is it that good? -Yes.
-Can I taste? -Sure.
No, thanks.
This is okay, but a guy near my house makes even tastier ones.
Really?
Can you buy me some tomorrow, please?
He passes by early in the morning. I might still be asleep.
I'll call and wake you up. Okay?
You want to eat it that badly?
This is me.
-You live in this condominium, Oil? -Yes.
Does your whole family live here?
No, I live alone.
Oil is from another province.
Her parents sent her to study in Bangkok.
That's cool.
If it were me, I couldn't do it.
-We'll be leaving then. -Okay.
-Take care. -See you tomorrow.
-Do you want some more? -No. It's too sweet.
-Don't you think so? -No.
It's way too sweet.
Who taught you to bowl like that?
Popcorn.
Don't listen to what he says too much.
-Why? -It will make you as crazy as he is.
No, it won't.
Which station do you get off at?
I'm not using the train. I just wanted to walk you here.
What?
Why didn't you tell me? You didn't have to swipe your card.
No worries. I'm just
looking out for you.
So, where do you get off?
Well, you don't have to go any further. My mom is already waiting at the station.
-Are you sure? -Sure.
When I'm with my mom,
I'll call you.
Here.
Thanks. I've got to go now. Bye.
Koi, stop screaming. I can't hear what's going on.
Dao.
Pat is so cool.
Dao.
Are you sleeping?
My gosh. The scene is so epic.
Dao! What are you watching?
You said you didn't watch it.
Why did you lie?
I just watched it after I saw it on the news.
If you are like this, how can I trust you?
That last scene was so inappropriate.
So, you like to lie?
I am taking this away.
If I catch you being like this again,
I will take your phone away, too.
TWELFTH GRADE
Here.
What is it?
Yesterday, I went to see a movie with Sprite.
We passed by a bookstore.
I came across this book and bought it for you.
I thought you might like it.
Consider it as the payment for my photography lessons.
I like it a lot. Thanks, Kwan.
I should be the one thanking you
for offering to teach me how to take photos.
I will do my best.
-Hey, Kwan. -Hi.
Sprite.
Are you returning it to me?
Don't worry. You can keep it. I have another copy.
I intended to make that notebook for you, anyway.
I just wanted to tell you that I am done reading it.
I understand a lot more. Your notes are very detailed.
Thank you.
But I think I'm a really slow learner.
I'm not even sure if I understand some of the stuff correctly.
Is it okay if you help me study?
Sure.
I will keep this then.
-What's up, dude? -What are you doing?
I'm tweeting the VR Source clip.
-Pop. -Yes?
I need some advice.
I'm not sure if I can ask you.
Why not? Ask away.
I am not sure how this one person feels about me.
Who is it?
Are you sure you aren't thinking too much?
You don't know who?
How am I supposed to know? Tell me the story.
You know I love this kind of stuff.
Okay. Here it goes.
There is this one girl
who asked me for my number.
Have sex with her!
What the hell! Have sex with her?
Have sex with her.
It doesn't get any simpler than that.
I am very sure.
-Are you sure? -Yes.
This girl has placed a ball right in front of you
and is now waiting for you to kick it in to score.
So, when this girl decides to be your girlfriend officially,
find the right time
to score!
-Really? -Really.
Yes, just smash it in there.
Make sure she's home alone. Make sure the moment is right.
Then just smack! Smack!
-Smack it? -Smack it.
Smack it like there's no tomorrow. I know you won't let me down.
Here.
Thanks.
You got some on your face.
-There. -Where?
All over your mouth. Here and here.
-Here? -Yes, right.
-Here? -Now there's more.
-Here, right? -Now there's even more.
-All over my mouth? -On your nose, too.
Let me wipe it.
Now it's all over your face. Stay still.
Stay still.
There. All clean.
Toei, you're cute.
Come on.
What's with you?
I have something to ask you.
Go ahead.
Check your Facebook notifications.
-Now? -Yes.

Okay.
-This is my girlfriend! -Stop yelling.

Min! Hold on, Min!
Let me explain!
I should have listened to my friends
when they warned me about you.
LOVE STRUCK
No matter what, the person I really love is you.
Pat is nothing to me.
Having sex with her at school is nothing?
You fucked her, Ken!
But...
-you wouldn't-- -I see.
Sorry that I didn't make it easy for you.
I just don't want to be some cheap girl.
I know you aren't.
I never thought of you that way.
You mean more to me than you know.
Min, please.
So, are those two together or not?
You haven't watched it, right? Go and watch the parts you missed first.
It doesn't matter. I haven't watched any of the other parts either.
It's entertaining, though. I have to watch the parts I missed.
Excuse me. Where did you buy that food?
-Next to our dorm. -Next to our dorm?
Is it good?
It's pretty good.
I see.
Can I try some?
Okay.
Thanks.
Well...
Yes, it's good. I'll go buy some.

This is in exchange for the bite I took.
Thanks.

You mean more to me than you know.
Min, please.
I'm sorry, Min.
Hi, Dad. Hey, King.
Phai.
From this day, I am cutting your allowance.
If you want the same amount,
you have to come and help me with work.
And about wanting a motorcycle,
just buy it with the money you got on Chinese New Year.
Then use it to help me with delivery.
I don't want a motorcycle anymore.
So, what are you going to do with the money?
Why don't you try to invest in something worthwhile?
Don't go and spend it on silly things.
Yes, Dad.
The weather has been hot lately, right?
I thought you went to a wedding. Why are you home so early?
It was hot, and there were so many people.
I'm going to take a shower.
Your dad loves to complain.
Phu.
Do you watch that Love Struck series that everyone has been talking about?
Hey, Mom. You've heard of that series, too?
Yes.
All of my friends who went to the wedding watch it.
I watched one episode the other day.
It's entertaining. It's being shown right now.
Why don't you watch it?
It is?
I'm going to take a shower.
You're not going to watch it?
No.
LOVE STRUCK
Pat, wait.
Phao.
Mom!
Why are you home so early?
Hello.
What are you guys doing?
Who are you? Why are you both in here?
Mom, hold on. She is my friend.
Why did you bring someone over without telling me?
Why are both of you here in this room alone together?
Mom, we weren't doing anything.
We were just watching TV together.
Watching TV? Together in the bedroom?
Do you think this is appropriate?
Is this your car, Pat?
Yes.
Stop worrying.
I won't tell anyone.
You won't tell anyone.
How will Min find out?
If you keep acting like a wuss, I'm going to go home.
Don't act like this is your first time.
Ken, come out! Don't do this!
Ken! My little boy.
Ken!
This is not proper!
LOVE STRUCK
Gosh, I can't help thinking of my mom.
My mom also says, "This is not proper."
So I missed the program yesterday and had to watch the rerun.
I've got to tell you. I am so thankful for having Internet.
If not, there is no way I would get to watch stuff like this.
Yes, you're right.
Now, every time I want to watch something, my mom is always sitting behind me.
It's the same for me.
When I am on the computer or on the phone, she's there.
Come on, let's watch the rest.
Guys! Bad news!
What is it?
"As of this moment, due to the widespread popularity
of the series Love Struck which has obscene content,
and because of the large number of teenagers
watching this program and imitating what they see,
there is a problem that needs to be urgently dealt with.
Mrs. Napajaree Chamratpaisarn."
Napajaree...
What's going on? You look stressed out.
Look.
MRS. NAPAJAREE CHAMRATPAISARN CHAIRWOMAN OF PARENT-TEACHER ORGANIZATION
Your mom has gone too far.
I didn't know my mom was going to do this.
If your mom has her way,
she won't allow anyone at school to watch this program.
You watch this program too, don't you?
Just tell your mom that we just watch it for fun. That's all.
Why does she have to do this?
Elle, that's enough.
I'm just telling it like it is.
Or if your mom really disapproves,
why doesn't she just stop only you?
Why does she have to force all of us?
I think your mom is way too conservative.
Stop talking bad about her.
I am just being honest.
Tell me if you don't agree that she is too conservative.
She is still my mom, though.
What if I talked about your mom like that?
-Well, your mom is like that! -That's enough.
Both of you.
Let's get to the hot topic of the day. It has something to do with Love Struck.
Last week, we broke the scandalous news about this TV series
having very graphic sex scenes.
The scene in question was two teenagers having sex
in the back of their car.
The latest development in this story is a report
that some teenagers have been caught copying what they saw on the program.
A taxi driver made a complaint
that a teenage couple
asked him to drive around for an hour
so that the two of them can have sex in the back of the car.
After this complaint was made public,
it created an uproar on social media websites
because there was a boy who posted on a very popular website
that he was the boy in the back of the taxi.
The boy excused his behavior by saying
that he got the idea from watching Love Struck,
and assumed it was okay because he saw it on TV.
Man, I think today turned out to be a really crazy day.
You're right.
This makes me think of Win.
Well, I need to call my dad.
I'm not sure if he can make it.
Go ahead.
Now I will let Mrs. Napajaree, the Parent Teacher Organization chairwoman
lead this meeting.
-Please go ahead. -Okay.
First, I would like to thank everyone for coming here today.
My personal opinion is that this program is a bad influence on our children.
It intentionally focuses on sex
to capture the attention of our teens, who would then copy what they see.
I would like to invite everyone to give their opinions on this.
What can we do to keep our youth
from being influenced by this program
and imitating what they see?
This right now is the problem we are facing!
Right now, the series that is facing a lot of backlash is
-Love Struck. -Love Struck.
At first, when I found out, I tried to watch it.
I thought it was an eye-opening show.
But after I finished the whole season,
I began to feel worried.
When my kids leave home,
will they do the same?
My little boy who is just in junior high,
will he start doing that stuff, too?
You're a mother. Why don't you watch it with your kids?
They won't let me watch it with them.
I want to do that, too, you know.
Because I'm concerned whether they really understand
what they are watching, especially the controversial scenes.
Would they think that it is normal and everyone is supposed to do that?
I go in and watch it with my kid.
I'm lucky that we are close.
My kid tells me what kinds of things really happen in school.
I was shocked to find out how bad things have gotten.
For me, I just watch it with my kids.
I use the scenes in the series to teach them something.
I talk to them right away about it.
Sometimes, they argue,
but I just say, "Okay," and listen,
so that I can understand them more.
Excuse me.
If we watch it with them,
wouldn't they feel that we are invading their privacy?
I think I am pretty close to my kids.
But I'm still worried
whether they really understand everything
I try to teach them.
They are in the age of curiosity.
That is one of the problems I'm most worried about.
How are we supposed to know what our kids are doing
when they leave our house?
Like today when I was driving,
there was a news on the radio
that two kids were having sex in the back of a taxi.
The two kids confessed that they did it because they saw it on the TV.
Do you want to know what other people think?
-Let's go and have a look! -Let's go!
I think there must be some kids
who copied what they saw.
I've never watched that show.
But to blame the show entirely,
it's not fair, right?
Hello. It's just a TV series.
I agree with you.
I think it would be better
if we taught our kids about discretion.
"Don't you try to steal my guy from me." Like that.
Wait. Maybe we should look at this from a few different perspectives.
Because you and I,
we are close to our children.
It's scandalously good.
When my mom is busy, she gets me to download it on my computer to watch.
I always talk with my kid about everything.
Sex is something I talk to her about.
It is a normal part of life that we should all teach our kids.
In terms of making that kind of decision,
I leave that up to her.
But how about the families that are not close to their children?
I can't guarantee that these kids will always act responsibly.
A TV drama is a TV drama.
I think we are all mature enough to know
what is good or bad, proper or improper.
Good answer.
I think the more I listen,
the more I see that the problem isn't all about the program.
This is an issue about how close the kids are with their parents.
Let's try looking at it from another perspective.
The producers should have put more thought into it.
One family might think that it's okay, but another family might think
that the viewers need to be mature enough to watch.
This kind of thing is beyond our control.
We just do the best we can.
Bad influences can be found everywhere, not just in this program.
If our kids can differentiate between what is wrong and right on their own,
-wouldn't that be better? -It's easy to say but hard to do.
So, the media doesn't need to be responsible for what it does to society?
So you think it is the sole responsibility of the parents to fix this?
This is the way you want it?
Excuse me.
I think we all need to calm down
so we can listen to each other more.
I think our kids just watch it for fun.
They might not think of it
as critically as we do.
We have to accept that every family is different.
There isn't only one method for solving this problem.
There are many different ways.
Some parents will focus on their kids
and some will focus on external influences.
I don't think that there is a right or wrong way.
But I do feel
that everyone here loves their children.
So, we need to come together
and have an open mind
in order to find the best solution to this problem.
Excuse me. Can I interrupt for a second?
I came across a news story on the internet
about the TV station, Channel One.
They asked viewers to comment on Love Struck
during the first month that it aired.
The producers and executives came to the decision
to cancel the program Love Struck
from next week onwards.
They apologize to all the viewers for all the difficulties they caused
and would like to thank everyone for their support.
So, what do we do now?
The series is already being canceled.
Do we still need to continue with this meeting?
I don't have anything more to say.
Well...
I think everyone gave their opinions.
And I hope everyone will feel relieved after this.
But whatever happens from now,
I would like everyone to keep a careful eye on the media.
Thanks to everyone who came to this meeting today.
-Thank you and have a good day. -Thank you.
Sorry for taking up your time. Thank you.
Dad, you can go home first. I am going to Siam Center for a bit.
I'll see you at home. Bye.
-Hey. -Hi.
See you.
Dao, did you know the show got canceled?
That's good.
I don't have to be bothered with this anymore.
What are you thinking about?
Get in the car.
Hey!
Dao! Dao, where are you going?
Dao! Come back here!
Dao! Where are you going?
Come back here now!
Dao!
Please don't go.
Stay with me.
OUR PRODUCERS AND EXECUTIVES CAME TO THE DECISION
TO CANCEL THE PROGRAM LOVE STRUCK FROM NEXT WEEK ONWARDS.
OUR STATION WILL RELEASE A NEW PROGRAM NEXT WEEK.
WE APOLOGIZE TO ALL OUR VIEWERS...
