Yeah episode 2 was kind of weird. The editing was superrrr choppy here and the scenes had no transition, it was just one scene to another scene then to another. I'm dizzy just trying to keep up, this is peak Dida incompetence right here. The editing in episode 1 was tolerable but yeesh it is horrific today. Another thing, the script in episode 2 is really weird. The dialogue is so unnatural and it sounds like lines from a play rather than a lakorn. Especially Kana and Note's lines, they aren't speaking like people in a relationship, it sounds like robots trying to impersonate a human relationship. Even the way the p'ek and his sister talk to each other sounds weird. Ken Theeradeth's mom wrote this script and it seems the older she gets, the more cringeworthy her scripts get. I don't know if it is just the script but Kana's acting is horrible here, I feel like she can't even say her lines properly. It doesn't help that her character is annoying asf.
I feel like every weird thing Tinapat does, is because he's attracted to Linin but he doesn't know what to do because he has already formed an opinion of her and has judged her already. He wants her but he's engaged and he's prideful, he doesn't want to seem like a tool like the hundreds of men that want Linin. However, we see that he has a soft spot for her when we see him comforting Linin. I think at the bottom of it all, Tinapat is just sexually frustrated LOL and he doesn't know what to do because he has no attraction whatsoever to his fiancé who he treats kind of like a kid because she's his kid sister's best friend.
Things moved way too fast this episode. I mean Linin's courtship with Por Liang should have been at least an entire episode. Seemed kinda random that he's all of a sudden proposing, then bam dies. Even weirder that he proposes in front of Tinapat. Also, super awkward scene where Linin tells Por Liang she wants to wait until marriage right in front of Tinapat, like that's a private conversation to be said somewhere private, not outside, in front of a work acquaintance. Dida lakorns can be so weird, like they don't take into account what people actually do and do not in real life.
Dida lakorns used to be quite good in the early 2000's where we didn't have to worry about shaky cameras and random scenes with no transitions. Ploy Lom Phet and Kae Eurm were pretty good quality lakorns and I think Ken's mom also wrote the script for those lakorns, and the lines were so much better back then, compared to what they are now. Dida's quality started to fall maybe around 2004 with Note and Chompoo's lakorn, Yod Nam Nai Tawan, I remember that lakorn having an iffy script and weird scenes.
That all being said, I'm still into this lakorn. With Dida you gotta suck it up, sometimes they surprise you. Plus, the pra'nang's relationship is interesting, I want to see how the p'ek is going end up seducing the n'ek.
