Apparently not. They’re convinced that they know better than the audience. For the longest time when I see criticisms of Thai lakorn, lakorn supporters will retorting how the critics don’t watch anyway, so their comments don’t matter. Now this is a drama that is highly anticipated…. So many people watching and giving feedback yet all the feedback is basically dismissed out of their own ego. This is basically insulting the audience. Many commenting did not even read the novel (like me and are confused about the story. The scriptwriter is convinced the changes she made improved the story
When people complained about Mae Klin coming out so often, they were already saying it’s because Namtarn is playing the role… that’s why her role is so prominent. Then Rid’s character is ruined and Great’s character looks good by consequence. So of course people aren’t happy. Cos people aren’t even sure why they would root for pra’nang to get together.
Not just Punjan & Prang… even characters like Luang Sriyot only appeared a few times yet viewers still remember him.
But Phrom Likhit even had random newbie actors making cameos at the end, adding further confusion to an already confusing ending. And then doing that, along with some other confusing casting decisions make people more turned off. For example, the actresses playing Ung, Ketsurang’s grandmother and Puttan’s daughter are all related to the scriptwriter. Fortunately Jaja acted well in the role of Ung.
But the appearance of Ketsurang’s grandmother was confusing. Because Ketsurang already knows about the problems that Ayuthaya will face. So the scene with the grandmother is not necessary. And the girl who plays Puttan & Rid’s daughter is cute, but doesn’t look like either of them. This is in contrast with other child actors which are well cast. Like the little girl who played child Puttan, she does resemble Bella (and acts very well). The boys who played child Rueng & Rit.. the ones who said “Good morning” in that one scene, they do resemble Pope.
Personally I felt bad that Namtarn & Namfah had to act in such roles that had no dimension.
And I won’t bother with future Broadcast dramas or dramas with this scriptwriter. How unprofessional of her. Her script deviated so much from the novel, and then when the drama was criticized, she basically blamed the novel.
She basically thinks all the fans criticizing are stupid and cannot judge what we are watching for ourselves.
