God this lakorn is depressing. I went into this thinking I would get a sweet musical type lakorn ... boy was I wrong. This lakorn certainly separates itself from typical lakorns.
The n'ek, Lada, is so different from your typical n'ek. She actually pursues the p'ek and doesn't give up even when he turns her down. She always makes the first move and she takes what she wants. The p'ek is actually more reserved and plays hard to get. She kind of rubbed me the wrong way at first, I thought her a little too crass but once she matures you really feel for her. The n'ek goes through a lot in this lakorn, and it's a lot to take in. She is separated from the p'ek after they elope and is forced to marry a brute that rapes and hits her constantly. What is even more disgusting is that her own father knows about his daughter getting abused, sees her bruises but he pushes her to go back home because his rise in power depends on her marriage. Willy as Pakorn is despicable, he is the worst father and husband ever. Willy is one of my favourite 90's actors and to see him play such a gross character is a little disturbing. Also, Willy aged quite badly, I'm surprised that he's only 50 years old, he looks 10 years older than his age.
Rawin is such a pitiful character, he suffers so much because the n'ek keeps coming to him. It's horrible how he has to go to jail because of her father and he can't get justice for himself. He's such a sweet character, it really broke my heart watching the scene where he finds Lada blind and he wants to give his eye sight to her saying as a singer he doesn't need his eyes.
This lakorn is different because the leads have to live their lives with people they don't love and are pretty much forced to live their lives with them. The leads never get into a fight or get into misunderstandings but they are kept apart by the people in their lives. They have to go through so much in order to find their way back to each other. This is a lakorn of hope and pure love. The leads are not selfish people and know when they have to let go. Look Krung is a beautiful lakorn, it's heavy and dark but you get glimpses of hope. Gun is born for this role, his voice is heavenly and he's an excellent actor. This lakorn is hard to predict, you think it is going to go one way but then it goes a completely different way. Gun and Marie have good chemistry together, and the love scenes in the beginning are intense. It's been a while since I've seen the leads make out so much in a lakorn. Marie's acting was okay in the beginning when she was the wild child but her acting is much better when she goes through all that trauma and hardship. I liked her character a whole lot better when they softened her down.
