In my opinion from watching this Lhongs character did not love Tharn instead he took his feelings of loneliness, need, and dependence turned obsession then jumbled it together to call it love. He had no one to tell him what is right or wrong what you should and shouldn't do he is still that little boy alone in his house listening to music while cuddling with his stuffed animal though as he grew older he became more twisted hence obsession to the MAX. I still do not like Lhongs character nothing excuses what he did. I do like Kaownah he is adorable and an amazing actor to portray such character that we end up despising.
