Hi everyone I've seen the old version. It's my favorite. Johnny was charismatic and handsome. The romance wasn't the sole focus in the beginning act. But later on it gets sweet. I like Grate and I'm giving Nishs a chance.
If the script doesn't stray too far from the original then we should be fine.
Praek's character is the Thai consul in Penang, Malaysia and the brother of Cara's character (Saisuda). Nang ek gets sent to a convent because she's mischievous and her parents want her to become mature and lady like.
Gap (Sinenaart) is a scholarship student. She's poor and gets picked on by Saisuda and her gang. Nang befriends her and becomes enemies with Saisuda and her gang. Nang dislikes praek because when they first meet, they get off on the wrong foot. But praek secretly has a crush on her.
And a whole bunch of things happen in between. It's ultimately a coming of age story.
