* BoyishShortHair: Kim has a short, masculine haircut like most Thai men, which makes her be called a tomboy and suspected of being a ButchLesbian. She however denies being either at first. It turns out that she really is a lesbian though. Other {{butch lesbian}}s shown also have the same style.

* MasculineFeminineGayCouple: Girly Pie and masculine Kim gradually become a couple, realizing they like girls [[ClosetKey from each other]]. Some other couples with the same dynamic appear briefly in the background too.



* RightBehindMe: 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 PlayedForLaughs 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 ButchLesbian manager standing there, and gets chewed out over her prejudices.

* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler:Pie comes to Kim's home, saying she loves her while also apologizing tearfully over denying it earlier.]]



* BoyishShortHair: Kim has a short, masculine haircut like most Thai men, which makes her be called a tomboy and suspected of being a ButchLesbian. She however denies being either at first. It turns out that she really is a lesbian though. Other {{butch lesbian}}s shown also have the same style.
* ButchLesbian: Kim is suspected of being one by most people due to her masculine appearance, but denies this 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.
* ClosetGay: Even after acting on her feelings for Kim, Pie's afraid to be public with their relationship, since she fears how people might react. Kim reluctantly goes along with this.
* ClosetKey: Pie and Kim both say they've never been in love before. Falling for each other makes both realize they like girls.



* FallingInLoveMontage: Pie and Kim are shown playing around, watching movies, handing out with each other etc as they grow closer. Over time, it's shown they've fallen for each other.
* FirstKiss: After Kim sadly tells Pie she can't be the right person for her, they return to their room and tenderly kiss, then sleep in each other's arms afterward.
* FirstLove: Pie and Kim both tell each other they've never been in love before. The two fall for each other during the first film.



* {{Gayngst}}: Pie is very anxious over what her mom will think after she's fallen in love with Kim, her tomboy roommatem, 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. [[spoiler:At the end, a voiceover shows Pie at last admitted to her mom that she loves Kim, while pursuing a relationship with her.]]
* HeteronormativeCrusader: Pie's mom dislikes gay people and tomboy women (whom she disapproves of for their gender nonconformity, with some also being {{butch lesbian}}s), which rubbed off on Pie, explaining [[ArmoredClosetGay her]] [[BigotWithACrush attitude]] starting out even as she falls 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.



* HoldingHands: One sign of Pie and Kim growing closer is them doing this, at first as friends, then while developing a mutual attraction too.



* LadyLooksLikeADude: Pie is initially confused about if Kim is a boy or girl due to her masculine appearance. She says nothing about Kim seems girlish. After this, Kim flashes her breasts to Pie.



* MistakenForCheating: 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.

to:

* LoveConfession: Kim declares her love for Pie once they act on their feelings for each other.
* MasculineFeminineGayCouple: Girly Pie and masculine Kim gradually become a couple, realizing they like girls [[ClosetKey from each other]].
* MistakenForCheating: 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.


Added DiffLines:

* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Pie repeatedly insists (including to him) that P'van isn't her boyfriend, though everyone thinks the two of them are a couple in the first film initially. It takes a long time for her to make the fact clear.

* HiddenBuxom: 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.

Added DiffLines:

* ArmoredClosetGay: Pie constantly brings up her dislike of lesbians, but her dislike of more masculine-presenting ones in particular, as she seems to take no issue with Jane, who is a more feminine-presenting one. It's implied to be because she finds them attractive that she is so vocal about her bigotry.
* BigotWithACrush: Pie, thanks to her upbringing, has internalized quite a bit of homophobia, and externalizes it regularly at the beginning as well. However, she is clearly attracted to Kim, and this seems to bring out more of her bigotry until she is finally able to accept herself.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Tsundere}}: Pie is a Harsh Type towards Kim, especially in the beginning, where she can be seen smiling with her face away from Kim while she tells her off, and when she tells Kim her cooking is "just okay" when she clearly enjoys it quite a bit, just to name a couple examples.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: 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.


Added DiffLines:

* CreepyGood: Nerd, Jane's roommate, is TheVoiceless and TheStoic, and her appearance is often accompanied by creepy effects and/or soundtrack, which is PlayedForLaughs. However, she's shown being a bona fide member of Pie's friend group, and she cares about Jane enough to [[spoiler: stop her from self-harming]].

* AmbiguouslyGay: Auntie Inn, at least in the first film. She has some masculine mannerisms, Pie asks Kim if she’s a Tom after their first meeting, the staff at her café all appear to be Toms, and she knows Kim is gay even before Kim seems to know it herself, talking about it very openly and casually. It’s only in the second film that she turns up at Kim’s internship crying over a man she fell in love with and who broke her heart, but that’s not to say she’s not at least bi.

* SecurityCling: 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 UpToEleven 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 WillTheyOrWontThey [[PlotThreads Plot Thread]] of the second act of the film.

It’s only in the second film that she turns up at Kim’s internship crying over a man she dumped/who dumped her, but that’s not to say she’s not at least bi.

->"''My mom said if I like someone I’d feel like there’s a hundred butterflies in my tummy.''"
-->-- ''Pie''

‘’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.

!! This film contains examples of:

* AmbiguouslyGay: Auntie Inn, at least in the first film. She has some masculine mannerisms, Pie asks Kim if she’s a Tom after their first meeting, the staff at her café all appear to be Toms, and she knows Kim is gay even before Kim seems to know it herself, talking about it very openly and casually. It’s only in the second film that she turns up at Kim’s internship crying over a man she dumped/who dumped her, but that’s not to say she’s not at least bi.
* AnimalMotifs: 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/
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Kim seems to have this effect on people without even trying.
* FlamboyantGay: Boy, aka Pey, Pie’s GayBestFriend. Especially in the sequel, where he is never seen without a wig of some description.
* GangOfBullies: A bunch of boys who hang around the downtime areas of the college, verbally abusing everyone who goes by, especially Kim for being a tomboy.
* GayBestFriend: Boy, known as Pey in the sequel. Boy seems to be this for Pie’s whole friendship group in the first film, but in the sequel it’s shown that Pie is his real best friend, as she cannot even contemplate doing her internship without him.
* IfItsYouItsOkay: 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. Conversely, while conflicted about whether being a Tom automatically makes her gay in the first film, Kim openly tells Yongkao she’s a lesbian in the sequel.
* InconvenientAttraction: 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 CharacterDevelopment is based around embracing that what she feels is genuine love and damn what her parents think.
* InterruptedSuicide: When Jane [[spoiler: finally realises that Kim is not interested in her, she grabs a Stanley knife [[HammerSpace from somewhere (honestly, she doesn’t even move from the spot Kim left her and it’s suddenly in her hand)]] and is about to cut herself when Nerd appears and [[DopeSlap Dope Slaps]] her for being so stupid as to attempt self-harm.]]
* Jerkass: Pie’s ‘boyfriend’ P’van talks about Pie’s mother’s and his own opinions about homosexuality being unnatural to Kim’s face, after seeing some Tom-Dee couples passing by. It’s heavily implied that this is purely to make Kim upset and keep her away from Pie.
* MistakenForCheating: 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 it to be Pie, reciprocates. Then the real Pie walks in…
* RightBehindMe: 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.
** Actually PlayedForLaughs 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 tomboy. She looks up to find the building’s ButchLesbian manager standing there, and gets chewed out over her prejudices.
* RomanticSpoonfeeding: Used several times throughout the film, but most prominently by Jane when enjoying some rare Kim-time at a point where Kim and Pie are conflicted about their feelings.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Western perceptions of public displays of affection would lead to the assumption that Pie and Kim’s relationship begins much earlier than it really does in this film, while the actual RelationshipUpgrade occurs around two-thirds of the way in with their [[spoiler: FirstKiss]].
* SecurityCling: 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 at the time. 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. The adorableness of this scene is turned UpToEleven as Kim is shown clinging shyly to Pie’s shirt as the latter lights candles. This marks the beginning of the WillTheyOrWontThey [[PlotThreads Plot Thread]] of the second act of the film.
* SuddenlySexuality: Viewers can be forgiven for seeing Jane’s LoveAtFirstSight attraction to Kim as this, since her EstablishingCharacterMoment involves her crying over a breakup and you only get a brief glimpse of the picture of her masculine-looking previous partner. Ultimately averted when a FreezeFrameBonus reveals that the partner was actually a Tom.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Kim’s Tomboy to Pie’s Girly Girl. To be fair, this would be true of any of Kim’s friendships/potential relationships across the two films.
* TransparentCloset: Auntie Inn talks to Kim about her relationships as though the only person who doesn’t know she’s gay is Kim herself.
* YourFavorite: Kim remembers Pie telling her how much she likes jellyfish and buys her a jellyfish lamp as a present. Pie finds this out following a row with Kim by [[PresentPeek looking through her shopping bags]] and goes out [[RomanticRain in the rain]] to look for her. [[spoiler: Cue their FirstKiss.]]
