Whale Store EP10 – Proposals, Drama & That U-Haul Finale

Let’s start with a slow clap for Love. No seriously—standing ovation. She was the star of Whale Store from start to finish. The range, the depth, the tears—we felt it all. If Thai GL had a Hallmark cousin, Whale Store would be it: not a lot of heat in the romance department, but plenty of cute moments, family drama, and heartfelt stories. And if you came for the side couple Tonnam and Chom, congratulations—you had excellent taste. Their chemistry? Served with teeth.

Let’s break down the final episode.

Wan gently touches Meawnam’s cheek after exchanging rings, a tender and heartfelt moment of love in Whale Store EP10.

Meawnam’s Backstory (Again)

We kicked off with more insight into Meawnam’s resistance to higher education. Turns out, she just wanted that one elusive compliment from her mom. Relatable, gutting, and kind of adorable when Wan’s dad swooped in with encouragement instead. The dots connected beautifully, but… were we really supposed to believe this happened right after they slept together? A+ for emotional beats, D- for romantic translation.

Also, we’re still scratching our heads—what exactly does Meawnam want to do long term? Fix toasters? Teach? Start a side hustle empire? Clarity, please.

Flashback Fatigue

We start with yet another flashback—this time to Meawnam and Manmuk finally addressing their dynamic. Manmuk made it clear she just wants to be Wan’s friend, and Meawnam handled it with grace, confirming she was fine with that. Mature, honest, and needed… but honestly? We wish this conversation had been shown when it actually happened, not shoehorned in later.

Then we get a much lighter beat in the kitchen: Meawnam teasing Wan about that infamous drunk text. Wan, mortified, tried to delete it, but the embarrassment quickly turned into hugs and kisses. Soft, flirty, and the sapphic sweetness we’d been waiting for.

Dinner with Mom (and Chopstick Scolding)

Chom’s mom, Som, absolutely stole this scene. Watching her awkwardly try to act normal while Tonnam bungled chopstick etiquette? Comedy gold. Chom’s refusal to make things easy for her mom was chef’s kiss. The banter gave this episode a much-needed shot of fun.

Wardrobe Redemption & Mom Therapy

Pause for a fashion PSA: finally these women looked their age and looked stunning. We were seated. Wan zipping Meawnam’s dress? Pillow-squeal level cute. But the glow-up wasn’t just on the outside—this scene delivered one of the best emotional beats of the series. Wan gently orchestrated Meawnam’s long-overdue confrontation with her mom, and what followed was honest, vulnerable, and raw. Love absolutely crushed it here—standing ovation (again).

Curveball Careers

And then—wait, what? Wan suddenly decides she misses her corporate job and wants to move to Japan. Without Meawnam. At episode ten. Girl, what? The timing was messier than spilled ramen. We had to double-check the episode count to make sure we hadn’t missed one.

Side Couple Sizzle

Som buying atrocious outfits = hilarious. Tonnam putting one on anyway = loyal. But the moment Chom stripped her out of it with zero hesitation? Whew. Those two radiate chemistry. They deserved way more screen time for that scene.

Date Night & Noodle Realness

The fancy restaurant was cute, but the cup noodles back at the store? Iconic. That’s real sapphic romance—ditch the stuffy vibes and eat carbs together in peace.

The Fake-Out Farewell

We all saw Wan’s “I’m going to Japan” reversal coming. But honestly? Why even bother with the fake-out when time could’ve gone to deeper stories? It was unnecessary drama-for-drama’s sake. At least Som’s drinking contest antics softened the blow.

The Ring (and the Cat)

The proposal scene was peak adorable chaos. Wan, all dressed up, slipped the ring onto the cat’s collar (cute plan), only for the cat to bolt. Wan panicked, we laughed—but then Meawnam flipped the script by pulling out her own ring. Predictable? Yes. Cute anyway? Absolutely. These two are so in sync it’s almost unfair.

We close with a wedding certificate, store-front dancing, and Wan finally getting Meawnam’s signature where she’s always wanted it—on a marriage license. Classic u-haul lesbians: together less than six months and already married. Meanwhile, poor Tonnam and Chom have been going strong for three years and still no ring. Justice for the slow-burn sapphics, please!

And one last montage tease—we catch a glimpse that Noey may have found a love interest. Don’t play with us, Whale Store. If it’s Manmuk, just give us the spin-off already. You know we’re rooting for them!

Final Thoughts

Whale Store wasn’t perfect, but it was sweet, heartfelt, and carried by stellar acting (Love, we’re looking at you). The finale gave us closure, some tears, and marriage—but also curveballs, filler flashbacks, and missed opportunities.

Still, as a lighthearted #ThaiGL, it delivered on vibes: friendship, family, and love in all its messy forms.
