[Loveless Heroine] He's an icon he's a legend and he is the moment

  • Original name: วันทองไร้ใจ (Wanthong Rai Jai)
  • Status: ongoing
  • Where to read: officially on Thai Webtoon. There's unofficial eng trans too but they dropped already.
  • Is he the ML? >!No, main villain (as of what I'd read).!<

Synopsis: Reborn as the heroine of a classic Thai literary work*, known for her bad luck. Two men fight over her, leading to her execution for the charge of being "two-faced"... The only way to escape is to flee from both men. Whether it's the one she loves or the one who loves her, this "Wan Thong" wants neither!

*This comic is technically fanfiction of a real Thai epic poem - Khun Chang Khun Phaen.

Dropped this long ago and haven't caught up, but as far as what I'd read he's deliciously obssessive of MC (Wanthong). Phlai Kaeo is the embodiment of stubborness because omfg man keeps stalking, keeps coming back to flirt and looks for FL's love no matter how many times she tells him off, even has the nerve to act all puppy and doe-eyed asking for forgiveness as if the stuff he does wouldn't earn him a restraining order. My top moments:

  1. >!Sneaks into Wanthong's bedroom at night to ask for her forgiveness. Uses black magic to lull everyone into slumber so nobody can hear them. Touches MC inappropriately, might escalate to SA if not for the real ML comes save her at right time.!<
  2. >!Forces FL into marriage with him. She outwits him at the end (by sending bro straight to war lol), but Kaeo vows to live and come back. His face when realizing the love of his life would push him to indirect death sentence stores permanently as core memory in my brain.!<

Another thing I love about Kaeo is his creepiness feels real. He eerily oozes the Nice Guy*™* energy who feels entitled to a woman's love and can't take no for an answer. >!Post-war he's acting like a bitter toxic ex (the anger is justified since FL sent him to war but still).!<

I didn't watch the whole show unfortunately (language barrier), but I did remember this boy and istg he is highkey lowkey an ideal yandere: wealthy, successful, has good reputation but secretly insane, unhealthily obsessed with FL, and an antagonist. I was dying to see more interactions of him and Mabel, him sneakily possess her and Dipper desperately tries to get his sister back.... but maybe it's a children show and children characters so it's weird to do that.

So I see that niche humor of human versions of social medias acting like their stereotypes and I go... hm what if we add a yandere flavor to it? For example:

  • Reddit: Manchild. Egotistical, condescending, always wants the final say.
  • Tumblr: Pathetic freak. Fantasizes the weirdest wildest shit while still a virgin. Plays victim and twists darling's words a lot.

I only speak on 2 sites that are my natural habitat (feel free to disagree). Curious to hear what's your take on yandere Twitter, Tiktok, Quora, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Discord, Bluesky, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Facebook, [insert other sites that I don't know of]... Some are not social medias but I include since they have enough relevancy.
