Yes or No (2010) – Full Plot Summary & Ending Explained

Read the complete plot breakdown of Yes or No (2010), including all key story events, major twists, and the ending explained in detail. Discover what really happened—and what it all means.

Pie Sushar Manaying hails from an affluent Thai family where tradition governs daily life, and declarations of love between people of the same sex are met with shock or scorn. Kim [Suppanad Jittaleela] strides through campus with a self-assured aura that seems to challenge those conventions, and from their very first encounter, Pie feels a pull she hadn’t anticipated. Their initial friction—Pie’s desperate need for personal space and Kim’s unapologetic presence—sets the stage for a complicated, evolving relationship that pushes both of them beyond the limits of their upbringing.

On the first day of class, Kim crosses paths with Jane [Arisara Thongborisut], a roommate she hasn’t yet met but soon finds herself drawn to. Jane is recently broken up and unsettled, yet the moment Kim offers a handkerchief and a listening ear, Jane’s attention shifts toward her. The attraction is immediate, and as Jane struggles to process her feelings, she discovers a way to get closer to Kim by leveraging Pie, the roommate who still clings to boundaries she has drawn so meticulously. The dynamic between the three of them unfolds in a dance of hesitation, curiosity, and burgeoning desire.

Pie is slow to engage; she keeps to herself, erecting more walls than bridges. Yet Kim’s warmth and the occasional shared meal chip away at Pie’s defenses. There are small, intimate moments that hint at something deeper: Kim cooks for Pie and they share conversation that lingers, and a late-night stroll through the campus park leads to a simple, almost childlike moment—sharing a lollipop—that becomes a quiet confession of attraction, though Pie does not yet admit her feelings aloud. The tension between friendship and something more grows as Pie’s boundaries blur and Jane’s feelings for Kim intensify, creating a triangle fueled by jealousy as well as care.

A pivotal moment comes when a package is delivered to Aunt In [Nattharinphon Phrommin], the woman who cares for Kim’s family and who becomes part of the larger story in an unexpected way. Kim asks Pie to help deliver the parcels, but Pie declines, compelled to protect the little distance she has left. Night falls, and Kim, lost by a lake, finds Pie offering a ride home—an act of kindness that becomes a turning point in their relationship. This small, shared moment marks the beginning of longer, more frequent companionship, as the two begin to spend increasing time together and gradually erode the boundaries Pie had so carefully drawn against closeness.

As the days unfold, what was once tentative becomes tangible: Pie’s affection for Kim grows stronger, and so does Kim’s willingness to risk her own standing and heart. They share more moments that feel almost private—a park visit to collect data for a school project, a silent confession in a casual setting, a kiss that remains unspoken knowledge between them. Yet this warmth does not go unnoticed. Jane’s infatuation with Kim deepens, and P’van—another figure in the campus circle who represents Pie’s social world—begins to cast a shadow over the fledgling relationship. Pie’s attempts to shield Kim from jealousy only seem to fan the flames, as misinterpretations and insinuations begin to strain their bond.

The pressure crescendos when Pie’s fear of losing what she’s found clashes with Jane’s burgeoning closeness to Kim. Pie tries to separate the two, sometimes with harsh words that reveal the watchful eyes of a campus that would judge them harshly. The situation reaches a painful peak when Pie returns to the dorm to find Kim and Jane in a moment that is intimate enough to feel like betrayal, a moment that shatters Pie’s resolve and triggers a dramatic emotional release. In the chaos that follows, Pie lashes out, inadvertently breaking a keepsake that symbolized her hope for a future with Kim. Kim’s immediate response is to pull away emotionally, while Jane lingers, intent on keeping her own growing attachment to Kim alive.

Nerd [Narumon Reanaiprai] makes a crucial intervention at a moment when despair threatens to overwhelm both Pie and Kim. The campus’s quiet conscience helps prevent a darker outcome as the trio navigates a path toward understanding. Kim, grief-stricken and confused, searches for Pie across the campus and even to Aunt In’s place, trying to understand where their relationship stands and whether Pie will ever truly accept her. The tension between parents and children becomes a clear undercurrent: Pie’s mother is protective and wary, and she sees Kim as a potential threat to her daughter’s future in a way that makes acceptance feel almost impossible.

Pie’s mother’s reaction becomes a turning point. When Kim finally confronts Pie’s mother to explain her feelings, she is met with a stern refusal that hardens Pie’s resolve to protect the relationship—if only by silence. The family’s disapproval weighs heavily on Pie, who grapples with loyalty to her mother and the newfound love she has found. The emotional weight is palpable, and it pushes Kim to step back, returning to her home and her family’s farm, where distance might seem like the only safe option.

Weeks drift by, and Pie makes a hesitant pilgrimage to Kim’s rural world, seeking out Kim at her father’s farm. The reunion is gentle but charged with unspoken truth: Pie finally voices her commitment, telling Kim that she is willing to defy familial expectations in order to be with her. Kim receives this declaration with a mixture of relief and fear, unsure of whether their bond can weather the storms they face. In a quiet, intimate moment, Pie delivers a letter to her mother explaining her decision and apologizing for the pain it may cause, a confession that marks a hopeful, fragile new beginning rather than a guaranteed resolution.

In the end, the two girls stand at a threshold—Pie’s longing and Kim’s longing, bound to each other by a choice to love openly despite the cost. The final embrace between Pie and Kim is not a flawless conclusion, but a pledge: a vow to walk forward together, even if the world around them remains uncertain or unkind. Pie’s resolve to love Kim—despite fear and familial pressure—culminates in a quiet but powerful promise, preserved in a letter Pie leaves behind, a testament to the courage it takes to choose love when it may not be accepted.

Aunt In, the father figures, the dormitory setting, and the campus drama all form a backdrop to this intimate story about boundaries, longing, and the risks of choosing a path that defies tradition. Through moments of tenderness, miscommunication, jealousy, and reconciliation, the narrative keeps a steady focus on the two central figures who dare to love where it’s hardest to do so, offering a poignant look at what it means to choose another person over the safety of a familiar path.
