Yes or No is a 2010 Thai LGBT dramedy-romance film directed by Sarasawadee Wongsompetch and starring Sucharat "Aom" Manaying and Suppanad "Tina" Jittaleela. It’s a G-rated lesbian flick, the first in Thailand to feature a “Tom� character, a woman who dresses and acts in a masculine way, derived from the English word “tomboy�.Pie hails from an upper-middle-class background in Thai society, one which adheres strictly to traditional values, including values related to sexuality. She’s at college studying fisheries and in a relationship with P’van (A man. This is important.). All is well in the world.Enter Kim, a farm girl studying agriculture. Only she’s not too girly. She’s a Tom, which gets Pie’s back up straight away. However, the more time they spend together, the more Pie sees that not only are her family’s prejudices about Toms and sexuality not worth her time, but there’s something about the way she feels about Kim that she just can’t deny...Followed by a sequel subtitled "Come Back To Me" in 2012.

Butch Lesbian: Kim is pegged for one by most people from the get go due to her masculine appearance, but denies it initially. She turns out to be one though. Kim has very short hair, wears shirts (whose sleeves she rolls up) and jeans. There are also other butch lesbians with similar looks in the films.

Right Behind Me
 Yes Or No / int_170128e9
comment
Right Behind Me: A non-comedic variation on this trope. Jane seems to have the uncanny ability to turn up out of nowhere just when Pie and Kim think they might get some quality time alone together. Actually Played for Laughs earlier in the film when Pie is applying to switch rooms away from Kim while complaining loudly to the building’s receptionist about how "inconvenient" it is to have to share a room with a Tom. She looks up to find the building’s Butch Lesbian manager standing there, and gets chewed out over her prejudices.

 Yes Or No / int_2be1b5d0
comment
Inconvenient Attraction: Much of the premise of the film comes from the fact that Pie’s wealthy background and the prejudices of people of said background would make a relationship with Kim very problematic. Pie’s Character Development is based around embracing that what she feels is genuine love and damn what her parents think.

Mistaken for Cheating
 Yes Or No / int_2d7ef923
comment
Mistaken for Cheating: When Kim is sick in bed with a migraine, she wears a blindfold while she recovers. Jane seizes the opportunity for a sneaky cuddle and Kim, thinking her to be Pie, reciprocates. Then Pie walks in. Per usual romantic drama cliché, Pie reacts in anger and storms out before getting an explanation from Kim, so it takes some time for her to clear this up.

Gayngst: Pie is very anxious over what her mom will think after she's fallen in love with Kim, who's her tomboy roommate, as her mom's homophobic, though she tearfully does indicate she's attracted to a girl later with her mom. Before long though she denies her love for Kim in front of her mom, as she's too afraid. At the end, a voiceover shows Pie at last admitted to her mom that she loves Kim, while pursuing a relationship with her.

Boyish Short Hair: Kim has a short, masculine haircut like most Thai men, which makes her often get called a tomboy and suspected of being a Butch Lesbian. She however denies being either at first. It turns out that she really is a lesbian though. Other butch lesbians shown also have the same style.

Abhorrent Admirer: Van always introduces himself as Pie's boyfriend, much to her discomfort, and she repeatedly tells him to stop telling people that. In reality, he's just a family friend that Pie's mother is trying to set her up with, so she feels that she can't just get rid of him. Pie does occasionally use him to make Kim jealous, however, despite stating on multiple occasions she feels nothing at all for him.

Heteronormative Crusader: Pie's mom dislikes gay people and tomboy women (whom she disapproves of for their gender nonconformity, with some also being butch lesbians), which rubbed off on Pie, explaining her attitude starting out even as she falls in love slowly with Kim, a very masculine girl. She's afraid of her mom finding out as a result. Kim is brought to tears later by overhearing Pie's mom diss her appearance.

If It's You, It's Okay: Despite her feelings for Kim becoming very apparent throughout the film, Pie never actually comes out as gay, she just happens to be a girl in love with another girl. Kim, on the other hand, while conflicted in the first film over whether being a Tom automatically makes her gay, openly tells Yongkao she’s a lesbian in the sequel.

Security Cling: Kim has a habit of doing this to Pie when things scare her. First seen when a cockroach scuttles over her foot after first meeting Pie, causing her to run and grab Pie, who is only wearing a towel, and gets a kick to the gut for her trouble. A much sweeter variation occurs later when the lights short out in their dorm during a bad rainstorm, and Kim, who’s afraid of the dark, grabs Pie again, only this time Pie just laughs about it. The sweetness of this scene is turned up to eleven as Kim is shown clinging shyly to Pie’s shirt as the latter lights candles to help her be less afraid. This marks the beginning of the Will They or Won't They? Plot Thread of the second act of the film.

Animal Motifs: Butterflies. A recurring element in the first film. First mentioned in the figurative sense of butterflies in the stomach, then they are physically seen at key moments where Pie finds herself falling in love with Kim, though the butterflies are clearly CGI, making it unclear whether they are actually there or just in Pie’s mind. The theme continues in the sequel, where Kim gives Pie a butterfly necklace with a hidden message at the beginning of the film.

Hidden Buxom: Pie asks Kim what part of her is in any way feminine, and Kim pulls up her shirt. We don't see anything outright, but from the way Pie's eyes widen and she looks down at her own chest (which isn't small at all by Thai standards) in disappointment, we can assume that Kim's a lot bigger than she outwardly appears.
