I also find TY's angry kissing and pawing at MSF's clothing very uncomfortable to watch but I can believe why it's happening with this character - as per the brain short-circuiting with distress description above. Therefore, although I don't LIKE this part of an otherwise gorgeous scene, I don't dislike that something of this nature is shown. TY is a gangster, who carries a knuckleduster in his pocket for easy access violence and has ordered people to be assassinated. We may be shown a relatively soft-focus version of him elsewhere but he has his brutal moments too. Under such excruciating emotional pressure, I don't see it as unrealistic for him to be acting in a rough and pretty non-con way - although it only goes so far. MSF manages to comfort him enough and things become purely emotional and not physical. This idea of showing unpleasant but, to me, realistic behaviour is something I've been thinking about a lot in relation to the Thai BL drama Tharntype, which has A LOT of things that I wouldn't want anyone viewing as reasonable or even forgiveable but yet are probably more realistic than not. (Some thoughts I may explore in more depth elsewhere.)
